Chapter 97: 3 ✔️

Mia, Amy and I wake up after getting some sleep. When I look at them, I can see they are pretty worried about the gigantic shadow that we saw last night.

-Mia, Amy. (Farah)

Both of them cease what they are doing and look at me.

-Sister? (Mia)

-What's wrong, sister? (Amy)

-I think we should move from this place. It's possible that "thing" will appear here again. (Farah)

The twins agree with my statement. They help me tidy up the camping stuff. After finishing tidy everything, we move out to find a securer place.

-Hah~Hah. (Mia)

It has been three hours since we started walking to find a new camping site.

- I think we should take a brief break. (Farah)

-Uhm. (Mia)

I notice the atmosphere of these kids is still tense because of the appearance of the "thing" last night.

I go near the twins and hug them.

-Don't worry. If that thing appears again, I will hold it back while let you two escape. (Farah)

I expect Amy and Mia will become more positive if I said that. However, this is the reaction I receive from them. Mia puffs her cheek while saying to me.

-We will never leave you behind, sister (Mia)

Amy also starts sulking after I said that.

-We are not cowards, we won't leave sister behind. (Amy)

-Ehhh. (Farah)

It's unexpected to see them react like this since I thought they fear that "thing." I can only calm the twins down after a while, and we resume our journey. After we walk for another hour, I can see a black dot in the middle of the crimson field.

-Is that a cave? (Farah)

-How come there is a cave in the middle of nowhere, sister? (Amy)

I shake my head.

-Since we're heading in that direction, let's have a closer look at it. (Farah)

-All right, sister. (Amy)

We gradually walk closer to the black dot.

-It's really a cave, sister. (Mia)

-Hence, I'm not wrong after all. Let's have a look around the cave. I think we can find something useful here. (Farah)

We gradually approach the cave.

-The things on the ground are... (Amy)

-... (Mia)

There are many human skulls on the ground. It's like a massacre happening here. I instantly check the life signal in the cave. I'm worried the master of the cave was the "thing" last night.

-Don't worry. There is nothing alive inside the cave. (Farah)

-Ah. (Mia)

The twins can only feel relieved when I inform them that.

-Let's check on the cave. (Farah)

-Absolutely, sister. (Amy)

We go inside the cave to examine what is inside there.

-It's pretty spacious inside here, sister. (Amy)

-Uhm. (Farah)

When we look around, we discover a corpse that has lost its lower body.

-... (Farah)

-That's person suffers a tragic death. May he find salvation afterlife. (Amy)

When we are about to turn around and leave. A voice suddenly can be heard coming out of nowhere.

-What are those kids doing here? (???)

-Eh? (Farah)

We try looking around to find the owner of the voice.

-Ahhhhh! Sister, the corpse is talking. (Mia)

I turn around and see the corpse that lost half of its body opens its eyes and look at us. I directly command nanomachines to turn into guns and point at the corpse.

-Calm down, I won't attack you guys. (Corpse Guy)

The corpse points itself and said.

-And do you think I can attack you guys in this state? (Corpse Guy)

-It makes sense. (Amy)

I instantly remind Amy.

-Don't drop your guard, Amy. (Farah)

I stare at the corpse.

-Maybe he can use his hand and attack us if we come close enough. (Farah)

-Hey, I can't do that. (Corpse Guy)

The corpse utters a deep sigh.

-What if I tell you I am not a monster but a challenger of god trial like you? (Corpse Guy)

-How could it be? You can survive with a body like that if you are a normal person. (Farah)

-What if I tell you about this trial design that way? (Corpse Guy)

-Eh? (Farah)

-Our group has found some hints from the past challenger. (Corpse Guy)

The corpse seems to take a small notebook from his shirt pocket and throw it at us.

-Don't worry. It's just a diary of a past challenger in this trial. (Corpse Guy)

I open the small notebook and start reading it.

Day 1: We have arrived at the trial. A crimson colour dominates the space. The mission is different from what I expected. We can barely bring enough food for one week. The sole source of water that we can find is the crimson lake. Somehow, I get an eerie feeling from that lake.

Day 7: We are out of the water; we have no choice to drink the water from the lake. However, a few others and I refuse to drink that water.

Day 8: The fight happens between the group against drinking the water at the lake and the one who agrees to drink that lake's water. A miracle happens, the one who should be killed in the fight can still walk like normal. However, his pulse and heart stop. He has become something unusual and being chased out of the group.

Day 9: We experiment and see that the one who hasn't drunk the lake water can stay alive even after his body is dead. While the one who drinks the lake water can die like normal people. Therefore, our group starts to drink the water from the lake.

Day 11: I see many unusual things since I drink the water's lake. I think I become abnormal.

Day 13: Our food is going to run out.

Day 15: The corpse of the one drinking holy water disappears.

Day 17: Hungry. I find meat today.

Day 19: Nothing left to eat.

Day 23: The monster appears.

On day 23's page, there seem to be many blood covers on the page. When I thought the diary would end here. On the following page till the end of the diary, the word "dead" is written on the page. It's all written by the blood.
