I went on the locker room to change clothes because I wanted to train my self.
When I went inside I saw man without upper clothes.
He has a nice body built he isn't Callix , Kadey or Van.
He sensed my presence that he turns on my way.
I was so shocked to see a long scar on his chest.
Just like, what masked man has.
He also has a dressed would on his right arm, It is still bleeding .
Seems like he just got that wound few ours ago.
"Hey Rogue, you seem like you have seen a ghost"
Is it him?
Is he the man behind the mask?
Is it Zk?
Is It him?
"Rogue? hey Rogue Argonne , is there something wrong about my abs?"
"When did you get that wound?"
"Oh this?" he points at the would on his right arm "this is nothing"
I feel nervous, can he really be the man behind the mask?
considering how rough his attitude is before towards me, he might be
"Answer me"
"This is nothing, don't worry" he smiles to convince me that it was just nothing.
I went out of my room and went to Van's room.
He's still asleep so I hurried and wake him up.
"Van, Van Ashtron, wake up" I shake him to force gim up.
"Why?" he sounded so irritated but he changed his expression when he saw the fear on my face.
"Where did the dagger you threw at Masked man hit him?"
"You wake me up for that question?"
"Just answer me, okay"
"Right arm why?"
"I'm afraid that one of us might be an impostor?"
"Huh? impostor?, Are you referring to an online game?"
"Van, I saw Zymophore Kriegspiel topless, he also had a long scar on his chest and he had a fresh wound on his right arm"
My words seems to wake him up.
"Really?, Call all of them let's meet at the conference room, I'll just take a quick shower okay"
I immediately went out , and gather them all together on the
"So why did you call us all here?"
"We think we had a leadon who is the man behind the mask"
"Who?" they all replied
Van Ashton step forward "Last night, I and Rogue have crossed our paths with masked man, we are not able to get him but I got him wounded with my dagger. I made his right arm bleed"
Zymophore Kriegspiel now made his entrance.
"What's the matter? are you all suspecting me as that masked man?"
"Yeah" I straight forwardly answered.
"Why?, Because of this wound that I got early this morning from a robber?"
"What a robber?"
"Yeah, someone tried to rob me but I don't
have a chance to see his face because at that time
the sun haven't risen yet
it's still dark"
He then showed us the broken strap of his backpack.
"He tried to grab my bag and even used a knife but he didn't succeed on getting anything"
His wound might really be a co-incidence,I take deep breaths and tries to convince my self that this is just a co-incidence.
"Then how about that long scar on your chest?"
"Heart surgery"
"When we're 11 years old, we crossed paths with masked man and we saw his long scar on his chest"
"I'm on the seventh grade when I got my heart surgery, I'm 12 years old that time."
If then if his statement is true then it's impossible for him to be masked man because at that time Masked Man's scar is fully healed and as well as he is.
"Hey look, two men from different places took suicide"
"Why would we mind them?"
"It's a little suspicious, in both crime scenes, they found a sticky note with numbers written on them"
"Numbers?"
"Yeah"
Kadey showed me the photo and both sticky notes has ~11:30020:180015:11:AM:24~ written on it.
Nothing seems special with that numbers, but they are fishy.
Days passed,number of men taking their own lives still increases.
Making it more alarming, This suicide cases doesn't seem like a suicide cases at all
crimes that are neatly executed, those sticky notes are the only pieces of the puzzle that we are trying to solve.
We now have 10 puzzle pieces, but how could we start putting them all together?
The first two sticky notes are the same.
But why?
"So what are the clues that we have?"
"~11:30020:180015:11:AM:24~
~11:30020:180015:11:AM:24~
~looks lifeless…~
~but underneath…~
~hidden under the quiet waves…~
~so near to you… ~
~diable~
~άδης~
~infierno~
~Es macht ihnen nichts aus, es ist ihre Zeit, mir ihre Schulden zu bezahlen.~"
Onyx read what is written on each sticky note one by one.
They might mean something
but what is it?
what should we do
Is he playing a sort of game with us?
