EIGHT TARGETS
52. Araka's Last Smile

The serial killer then spoke.

“But I have little hope for someone who practices martial arts.  But the name of a common man is still an ordinary man.  Not amused me at all.”

The Blue Eyes of the Massacre then glowed bright blue while looking at Araka's dying face behind her white pierrot mask.

Araka gasped in shock because she was familiar with that voice.  But not long after that, he smiled.

The Massacre who seemed dissatisfied with Araka's expression then unmasked and stared intently with intimidation to Araka.  The face of Araka was even more satisfied.  He was relieved that the serial killer was not his hero.

“Thank God it wasn't you Kaiser.  My hero would never do such a thing.”

He then fumbles around and then takes a photo of the six in which he and Kaiser take a photo together.  She held the photo tightly while crying.  Gradually Araka's consciousness faded.  Not long after, he breathed his last breath at 00:01 p.m.

***

Kaiser who was on the terrace of the former mosque building was apparently lying unconscious.  His nose is bleeding.  He could not hold back his anger due to the contradictions in his mind that eventually made his mind depressed and he fell unconscious.

On the one hand, she hates Araka for having made her most precious friend suffer from a coma.  But on the other hand, he also has valuable memories with his senior because Arakah who became his steering committee in knowing his school environment during the student orientation in Junior High School.  At the beginning of his entry in SMP Puncak Bakti, Arakalah who always gave him input when he was confused adjusting to the new school environment.

Kaiser's anger at his senior was that even he often cursed his senior to die, it was just a mere saying that he did not want it to actually happen.  He didn't want to until the serial killer took his senior's life.  Especially the most ironic, if the reason is related to his best friend who until now is still in a coma.

At 00:34 p.m., Kaiser finally regained consciousness.  He picked up the smartphone lying next to him.  There were 61 missed calls.  A total of 41 from his father, 14 from his mother, and 6 from an unknown number.  He rubbed his eyes to fix his feelings.

Suddenly, Kaiser's heart beat with an uneasy feeling.  It felt like the feeling in his heart was a kind of premonition.

“Senior Araka, there's no way that serial killer's coming to you now?”

Kaiser who felt a bad feeling immediately ran towards Araka's villa located on the uphill road surrounded by dense trees as far as 200 – 300 meters from his current position.

“Wuuush!”

“Sreeek!”

“Who are you?”

Kaiser was trying to figure out who the mysterious figure was, but the Mysterious Figure did not utter a word at all.  He just stared at Kaiser with those blue eyes.

Kaiser immediately kept his distance from the mysterious figure while watching him closely.  He saw the appearance of wearing tight all-black clothes with black headgear and a white pierot mask with a cruel face.  His eyes were as blue as his eyes, but the mysterious figure was much taller than him ranging from 180 – to 185 cm.  However, he was unable to see clearly the proportions of the body of the mysterious figure as it was blocked by the darkness of the night which was only illuminated by the moon and stars while the mysterious figure was also wearing all-black clothes.  But clearly the mysterious figure is not a fat person and not a skinny person.

After a while, Kaiser started attacking.  He ran while swinging his weak-looking left fist.  The mysterious figure seemed to underestimate Kaiser's punch and allow himself to be open to receiving the attack.  Beyond his expectations, the Kaiser's punch was much stronger than he had expected.  The mysterious figure was in a lot of pain by holding the stomach that was beaten by the Kaiser.

As if not giving the mysterious figure a chance to think, Kaiser continued his second attack by floating his left leg.  The mysterious figure immediately dodged the attack, but it turned out to be just a trick from Kaiser.  Kaiser immediately salted and floated his right leg to hit the back of the head of the mysterious figure with his right heel.

The mysterious figure did not have time to dodge it and so the beautiful attack made a great effect on the mysterious figure.  The mysterious figure fell to his knees, but he used both of his hands to support himself so as not to fall on the ground.

Kaiser also launched his third attack by running towards the mysterious figure with a look ready to throw his left fist towards the bottom of the mysterious figure.  But what awaited him was that with his cunning the mysterious figure took out a spray device filled with dope and sprayed it onto Kaiser's face.  Kaiser lost his balance.  He also once again fell unconscious.

“I don't think you're any better than you look Young Master.  But you can't go to that place right now.  I have prepared you for a more luxurious stage to be the main character of this tragedy, my joker.”  Said the Mysterious Figure while holding Kaiser in princess style in a fairy tale with ease as if Kaiser was a very light cotton.

At 01.30 on the same night, it appears that Mr. Lucias, Ms. Nana, Grandma Nafisah, Bi Markonah, and Halim are looking around every corner of Kaiser's existence.

“Honey, how is this?  Our son has not met.”  Said Ms. Nana frantically while crying in her husband's arms.

“For now, I have contacted my friends at High School and also at the village youth organization and sent Kaiser's photo to them to help look for him.  Kaiser will be found soon.  So I'd better take a break first.  It's late and it seems Aunt can no longer walk much with Auntie's bloody foot.”  Halim tried to calm Ms. Nana.

“Nak Halim is right Darling.  What do you think our son would think if you got sick from looking for him?  He'll be very sad.  So let's go home with your mom and Bi Markonah.  Let me continue to look for it together with the surrounding residents.”  Mr. Lucias tried to calm his wife.

“It's true Son.  Let's go back home first so that your mind is clearer.  Who knows with that, will help you to remember roughly which places Kaiser will visit these nights so that we can more easily find it.”  Granny Nafisah added to calm her panicked daughter.

Finally with various persuasions, Bu Nana returns with her mother and Bi Markonah to her home, leaving Pak Lucias and Halim to join together with the other residents to search for Kaiser's whereabouts.

However, until the dawn of the Adhan, Kaiser's whereabouts had not yet been discovered.
