Chapter 27

I am Jade. A member of the girl band called Wishing Well. And now, I really wish that there's a wishing well that will grant me my wish. I want to be safe.

I am currently in a car with the manager of the group, Anita, who is also my cousin. We kept this fact as secret because it's not that important to tell the others. And it's because I thought that one day, I want to leave the group and have her be my personal manager instead.

She's driving the car so fast on the road because from the earbud in my ear, the hacker who got hired by Bora told me what happened.

Bora was being stalked and she hired someone to get rid of the stalker. The one who appeared was a boy who seems to be younger than me. He's around the age of our youngest member.

He told us something shocking. That the agency hired suspicious people to act as security guards. I thought it was some kind of tricks, but then he told us that there are hidden cameras in the dressing room and even in the toilet. The hacker said that the cameras shouldn't work when she hacked them but we can't just believe that. So it took some times for us to get changed because we also check the dressing room to find the hidden camera. And they were right. We found them.

Feeling unsafe, we decided to go home separately. We shouldn't have done that. We should have returned together.

Because right now, we are being chased by two cars behind us. And they are getting closer.

[Ah, Kai said that it's likely that the superhumans in the group are the targets. Because you can get prettier when you level up so you are worth more money.]

That's what the female voice of the hacker said to me. To us. Because she said that to everyone.

She told the other two to go home quickly. While for the superhuman other than me, Marina is already being targeted.

[There's no way out. The way is blocked. Sorry to say this but you have to be captured.]

"Why?! We can't get captured!" I shouted.

[Kai's job is done. So now he's moving as a fan. Half a fan he said. And after checking, it seems like the group who is targeting you are somewhat involved with someone in high position. So we can't rely on the cops. Sorry but you have no choice but to trust in us. Try to get away for as long as possible. I will track where they're going to take you away. Oh, wait. Something bad happened.]

"Hey! Hey! Where should I go from here?!" Anita screamed. We're being chased and we can't get away from them. Even the way is being blocked by them. Seems like they have prepared so much while we were focused on Bora's case.

The hacker told us that the stalker was just a distraction. And it worked. We never thought that the security guards are kidnappers. And that we would be the real target.

[The other members are home safely. They live with their family so I don't think they will be targeted. But for Marina… she's being kidnapped right now. She tried to resist but there's no way she can do it against several superhumans.]

No way! She's already taken? And they are still targeting us?

[From here, I will connect you all with Kai. Listen to him carefully.]

Then the hacker's voice changed. The one talking is now Kai who was originally moving for Bora's sake.

[Hello, can you hear me? For the manager and the one in the car, continue driving for now. Try to stay away from them as long as possible. For… what's her name? Right, Marina. You will be captured. And they will probably get rid of your phones and even your earbuds. If you have any other magic device, hide them inside your pocket or anywhere they won't see it. Our hacker can track you using them. For Marina and Jade, I think you will be fine when you are captured. They will probably lock you until they decided what to do with you. But for Anita, it might not be good because you are not the target. Sorry to say this while you're driving but you can think of what the worst that could happen to you. They will do it to you. After Marina is brought to their base, I will go there right away. Maybe I can save you there before anything happen. But in case I can't get there in time, try to resist for as long as possible. Act crazy, screaming, and if they try to rape you, cover your important body parts to make it harder for them to do anything to you. So now, try your best to escape. Always prepare to leave your car and run before you reach the blocked path. If you can escape, getting to a police station would be great. Try your best to survive. As long as you're alive, I can help you.]

…He might be younger than me. But he said it in a way that reassuring for me. For us. Both Anita and I.

"…Hehe, seems like they will rape me," Anita said with her shaking voice.

"It will be great if we can escape. I only barely reach level 2 as a warrior a few months ago just by dancing. And I never fight in my entire life. So I think I can delay the worst to happen for a few more minutes," I said.

[Level 2? That's good. As for Marina, it seems like she's being drugged and lost her consciousness already. Fight back as much as possible. If escaping is not possible, find a place with a dead end. Jade, aim for their balls. Kick them in the nut when they approach you. Show them no mercy. I don't think they will harm you. High level healers are rare so they probably won't harm you so much. Get a weapon. A stick, a staff, anything. Delay for as long as possible.]

So we prepared to do as he instructed.

On the corner ahead, Anita slowed down her car. And together with me, we jumped out of the car and started running.

I shouldn't have high hope in escaping. Because they targeted superhumans, they should have someone stronger and faster than me. So I have to try to escape to make sure that Kai can reach their base as soon as possible.

[Oh, even if we reach the base before you, we won't show ourselves until you come. Just to make sure that they brought all of you in the same place.]

Just who is he? Why does it seem like he has a lot of experience in this?

Whatever. For now, I shouldn't judge the people by how young they look. He's our only hope right now.

[By the way, I asked some help from friends. They might ask you for autograph later. If you don't want to do that, just tell them to fuck off.]

That's good. Having more people helping us will increase our survival.

Well, it seems like he is sure about our survival. It's just that Anita is the one in the most danger. It's good that she's pretty even though she's not a superhuman. Because if she's not, when they catch up to us, they will kill her.

While running, Anita slipped and fell. So I had to carry her on my back.

"Even if we are safe later, it seems like the group will be disbanded. And tomorrow's show will be cancelled," Anita said.

"Why are you so calm now? We're about to get kidnapped," I asked my cousin behind me.

"After hearing what he says, I can already imagine what will happen to me. And he has taught us what to do. After doing all that, we can only rely on him."

She's right. I guess hearing what is expected to happen to us before it happens is good to calm us down. I'm not as panicked as when we were in the car.

After running for a while, I hear noises from behind me. We really can't escape from them.

So I go to a dead end and put my cousin down behind me to protect her.

[Good. Anita, don't attack them from behind. Just stay there and act scared. If you attack them, they will get angry and might end up killing you. So don't do anything stupid. As for Jade, you can start fighting back.]

I have never been in a fight. So I'm reluctant to use my strength to hit someone. But he told me to kick them in the nut. So I will do that.

"Hehe, you're trapped now. You don't OUCH!"

Before he said anything more, I kicked him in the nut. It won't work every time but I should do it as many times as possible. That's what Kai said.

In the end, I got captured after they restrained me. They forced me to drink something and I started losing my consciousness.

But before my consciousness completely disappears, I managed to see Anita is being drugged as well. Good. She won't be killed right away it seems.

Kai, please save us.
