Clue

{Catherine Out}

Alexi blinked in confusion.

"Who?"

Alexi was shocked and confused by the information he just heard.

Wasn't he the only two there? Then why did the announcement he just heard a sound like someone else was there?

This is now a big question mark for him.

"Hold this, we have to make a bridge, be thankful you met me because I am your senior here," said Elina who did seem to have adapted quite well there.

Like it or not, Alexi followed Elina's words and helped her build a bridge with several tree trunks that they had previously cut down.

The two of them work well together with each other.

"You're also quick to adapt," Elina said to Alexi who was tying one by one the ropes from one tree to another.

"Is that so?"

Elina nodded her head to Alexi, accompanied by a sincere smile from the girl.

'Beautiful.'

Alexi gulped his saliva roughly to find a different side of Elina, unlike the first time he saw it.

"What is it?" Elina asked casually.

Alexi shrugged his shoulders slowly. He returned to continue the work he was doing before.

"How long have you been here?" asked Alexi in the end breaking the previous awkwardness.

"Me?" Elina asked Alexi in return.

Alexi gave Elina another head nod.

For a moment Elina seemed to think hard because she didn't even know how long she had been there. While her life is just surviving in a game that she doesn't know at what point the game ends.

"I don't know, it's just that I have 3 lives left because I've repeated the zone 2 times," Elina said while raising her jacket sleeve showing an asterisk in her hand.

It can be seen by Alexi that there are as many as three stars printed on Alexi's right hand.

"This is life?" Alexi asked again to confirm the information Elina had just said.

Again, Elina gave a head nod as an answer to Alexi.

Alexi's reflex also checked his right hand.

There are five stars printed on his right hand.

"Your life is still intact because you are new here, and fortunately you did not speak more than ten words in the zone earlier, because if you speak in the zone earlier, then the zone will turn into danger mode, and of course, we will have difficulty dealing with it, Elina said giving her opinion according to her experience being there.

"Which zone is the hardest?" asked Alexi again, starting to be interested and curious about the world he was in now.

Elina was silent and said that she had not been able to pass zone 3.

Immediately Alexi thought hard if Elina had lost her life in 3 zones, does that mean how many lives should it take for him to complete all the missions in the existing zones?

This is now a big and fundamental question for Alexi.

"Do you have any memories before you were here?" asked Alexi who was curious about the whereabouts of everyone who was there before arriving at the mysterious game world.

Elena shrugged her shoulders slowly. To be honest she didn't know anything about what Alexi had just said.

'Will everyone who enters this world lose their memory before they are here, because inevitably they have to participate in all the survival games?'

"What will happen if we die here?" asked Alexi pursing all the questions in his head.

Elina again shrugged her shoulders. She didn't know about it, like a mystery that she couldn't solve until now, so she chose to stay.

Alexi frowned, thinking carefully about the things that might be the right answer.

It is just ....

Nothing!

The bridge they built was built much faster than they predicted.

"Let's cross."

Alexi nodded his head and held each other across the new bridge they had made.

{Timothy Out}

"Who are they? Aren't we just the two of us?" asked Alexi who was once again confused by the existing game.

Elina gave Alexi a shake of the head.

"Where are they?"

Elina again shrugged her shoulders to answer Alexi's question

Couldn't Elina explain to him in more detail so that he would understand the whole situation?

"Move," said Elina, pulling back Alexi's arm, who had not stepped his foot a few minutes before because Alexi asked her for an explanation.

Seeing Alexi who was slow to find a response, accompanied by a time that was twice as fast as before, Elina immediately pulled Alexi's hand.

She didn't want to lose her life, which was only three of them.

Like it or not, Alexi had to obey.

"You have to keep moving if you want to survive this zone."

Alexi was surprised to hear what Elina said.

'Wait... if the first zone Elina asks to remain silent in the first zone, and in this zone is asked to keep moving, is what Elina said a hidden mission or the conditions of the regulations that apply in each zone?' Alexi's monologue can conclude from Elina's sentence.

"Does this zone have rules for every player to keep moving?" asked Alexi to Elina.

"Bingo, every time in quadrat multiples of 5 you can see the rules in each zone, and in this zone, you are required to move, if someone doesn't know the rules and he chooses to stay silent then the time will move twice as much, and if the player is still not aware for fifteen minutes he will be declared dead."

"So the previous player out because-"

"Yup, because they're don't understand the rules in this zone."

Alexi was stunned to find the answer Elina had just said.

This time he was grateful that he was not in the zone alone. What if he was there alone and didn't understand the gist of the game in each zone?

Would he die quickly there?

Alexi gulped down his saliva harshly and resumed walking on his feet.

[Move] [Strength] [Weapons]

[22 Hours 55 Minutes 00 Seconds]

"What's that?"

"That's the clue I said before, and it's true that we've spent here two hours and five minutes, for that the code/clue is showing there," Elina said casually.

Everything that Elina said was the truth, for that Alexi now believed that he had to completely trust Elina.

"Thank you."

"Welcome."

'Can this man be counted on in the next zone?' Elina whispered in her mind.
