Novel Full Chapter 112 - Strange Lines...
When Emma came out of the spatial tunnel. His head was a little bit dizzy, struggling to control his footing. He looked at the surrounding trying to identify his current location. There were tall trees and thick grasses everywhere while the light illumination of the moon escape through the stems patches in a drizzling gentle wind from the west. Then he heard a voice that he couldn't miss for any other voice. Zeus.
A slight smile appeared on Emma's face, his lips curled up a bit. "Vulture." He muttered. He looked up in the sky and saw a half-moon amid the dark cloud. The slight brilliance of the moon shines on his face for a few seconds before the dark cloud clouded it.
"Commander."
A footstep approached from Emma's left. He stopped his action and looked in the voice direction. Jojo appeared came out amid the trees and dense bushes. She stopped a couple of feet from Emma. "Sir, we set up a defensive formation a couple of meters from here." She pointed in the direction she came from.
"Lead the way," Emma commanded.
"But sir, what about the tunnel?" She inquired with her brow raised.
"It has been handled."
Jojo nodded and lead the way. How could Emma leave a ticking time bomb in his backyard? When he was about to leave the tunnel. He threw many explosives into the tunnel while he barely made it out alive. Think of this, Emma shuddered. 'Space is dangerous'
When Jojo and Emma work for a couple of minutes. They arrived in an open space where he saw the Ghost Hunters and the crates of treasure. So he presumed. Seeing that everyone was accounted for. It finally dissolved the heavy stone in his heart.
"Sir, we are a couple of hundreds of meters from our previous entrance. What's your command?" Laka asked.
"Never mind. Others are coming." Emma responded calmly. It perfectly dissolved all the tension he incurred in the strange world. But the experience received will stay with him.
[[10 minutes for the Guards arrival]]
"Ok. Updates"
[[Sir, I think it better for you to return to the sanctuary and have a pleasant rest before the update.]]
Hearing this, Emma furrowed but choose to keep quiet. He had the belief nothing could go wrong with Zeus monitoring his company. He forget about Zeus's words and matched toward the crates and the box. Since he had a couple of minutes to spare. He couldn't satiate his hunger to know what the hell was in the crates. Seeing their commander approaching the crates, the Ghost hunters became inquisitive. They had been hard-pressed to know what was in the crates. Most especially Team C who carried the heavy crates.
Noticing their reaction, Emma snickered. 'so you too want to know what's in the crates. That would be no fun.' He stop in front of the crates and looked at the crates for a few seconds. His hand trail on the edge of crates, admiring the texture of the crates. 'Everything from that beast had never been seen on Earth. Are we that far behind?' He shook his head from the unending thoughts.
Emma's hand stopped at the box. He looked at the box for a couple of seconds while the Ghost Hunter could barely contain their curiosity. He ignored the narrow gaze from them and open the box slowly. However, Emma quickly put his hand inside the box, when he felt his hand on a book. He picked it and closed the box at once.
Seeing the book, everyone's curiosity skyrocket above the roof. The book wasn't like anything they'd seen. It had thick black with a strange marking on it. They looked at each other but only to accosted with the same confused expression. Emma studied the front cover for a couple of seconds. Meanwhile, Zeus was performing a deep cross-reference of the marking on the book.
[[Master, I need an in-depth analysis of the book. The helmet cannot perform such task.]]
"No problem." Emma was not worried about not understanding the book. He still got the system. He believed the system will not send him on a useless mission. The system probably understands the strange languages. Anyway, that won't stop him from satiating his curiosity. He sat on one of the crates and shoo the curious cats away. "Back to your post."
The Ghost Hunters rolled their eyes and looked at their commander for a few seconds before grumbling away. Seeing that all the cats had gone. He opened the book and found strange words and at the bottom of the first page. There was a weird drawing. Emma raised his brow. His instinct was telling him this was not just a normal drawing, but a very important thing. He studied the drawing and line for a couple of seconds. Then he discovered he couldn't remember the drawing no matter how he tried.
At first, Emma did not care about this, thinking because it was his first time seeing such bizarre lines. But when he continued glancing at the pages, this became apparent. He furrowed. 'How is possible for me not to remember a couple of lines? Impossible' Emma stop turning the page and went to back the first page.
"This line is the easiest. I don't believe with my high INT and WIS. I'll have a problem with lines." Emma chuckled. "Silly of me. How can I not remember lines?" He concentrated on the lines.
Time wisp by like smoke. Beads of sweat had gathered on Emma's forehead. Many eyes glance at Emma every second, wondering what their commander had been studying for the past minutes without raising his head. Meanwhile, Emma was oblivious to all this. In his sight, the simple line had turned into a vast maze of lines. He tried everything to recognize the pattern of the lines, but he fail woefully. However, he couldn't accept this and continued to study the lines.
[[Master, the guards have arrived.]]
Emma did not hear Zeus's voice. He was lost in the sea of lines. While the Five guards and Ghost hunters and looked at their commander, not sure of what to do. The First guard questioned the Ghost Hunters only to receive not so suitable response. After waiting for more than 1 hour, the five guards couldn't remain idle anymore. While Zeus also called Emma.
"Commander!" The First guard called with a mid-voice. However, he saw no response from Emma. He looked at others but they shrugged. He cleared his throat and took a step closer to Emma.
"Commander!" no response
"Commander!" No response.
He moved closer to Emma and shouted at the top of his voice while giving Emma a resounding slap. "Commander!"
"WHO THE FUCK…. DISTURB ME!"
