Hypnotized: My Second Life Mission
Crystal Stone

Fingers that have revealed wrinkles. The big fingers playing the pen kept him spinning on top of his hand.

He smiled slanted. “Unexpectedly, the two creatures reunited in the prison of hell. Does the crocodile still have ties to the boy?”

The question from the lead researcher Hiro Orfias left Renne stunned. He immediately lowered his head. “I'm sorry sir, I shouldn't have thrown it away so early.”

“Sorry Mr Hiro, what should we do to the boy to wake him up from entering the throat of the giant crocodile monster? He could have been swallowed,” said Cindy who was now worried because from the moment Harina realized, they had never ordered the mission she had to do and let Harina walk without direction.

Hiro shook his head in response. “Do not do that, you will never know what happens next to him if you continue to rule every step of the way. But I want you to connect me to him. I have to tell him something important and at once be his last clue from us.”

Leo nodded and immediately processed the wishes from Hiro.

Harina looked up to look for a voice that called her name but her steps still stepped through the monster's esophagus.

Suddenly the voice disappeared again when Harina reached the middle of the monster's stomach and something called out to her. This was what Harina was looking for, instead of being hypnotized to get into the stomach, but indeed something called out to her secretly. Only he knew, even the device that connected him to the researchers was gone for a while as long as he was still in the stomach. Both from tracking necklaces, communication tools and their scouts.

Harina stopped when something tripped her. It was crocodile meat that looked swollen. He was shocked when the meat began to spit out. His eyes caught a crystal stone that was very difficult to get out of the belly of the giant crocodile monster.

Harina moved to help the crystal stone out. His hand forced to enter even though it was so difficult that he held his breath and in one pull, the crystal stone finally came out of the monster's body.

A single dot of the crystal stone let out its light making Harina close her eyes for a bit. Shadows when he was kidnapped appeared in the reflection of the crystal stone. He really did not understand, but the shadows managed to make his tears fall into his cheeks that are not smooth anymore. Cheeks that are slightly blistered and filled with wounds.

He saw his father struggling to attack the giant crocodile monster and his crying mother hugging herself while running to find him. The scene of the embrace of the father and mother made him more sobbing.

His father only looked straight ahead as he hugged his mother and muttered little. ‘Vasilio’

The scene stopped there and Harina was confused not to understand. He wiped his tears. “My father knows lord Vasilio?”

The scene continues again showing the father hastily taking the mother to safety. “True, protect mom dad,”

He was grateful to get the opportunity to see the condition of his father and mother who turned out to be fine there. Maybe his father did know Vasilio and that made him have to be more careful and continue to protect his wife.

Harina was relieved. He doesn't have to worry about his parents there. Curiously, he touched the crystal point that was giving off light. He suddenly felt a small vibration arising as a result. But he still ignored it.

Vibration after vibration that was getting louder and louder, Harina was very panicked and ran back down the esophagus in the giant crocodile monster. He finally got to the crocodile's teeth and held on firmly. But Harina was amazed when the crocodile opened his mouth making it wrong target and instead held firmly on the teeth of the giant crocodile monster then immediately vomited the crystal stone that has a big like a soccer ball.

The crocodile still ignored Harina and continued to sink with his emotions on the crystal ball. However, as time went on, without Harina noticing, the crocodile slowly extinguished the coals in its hard skin and the crocodile's mood began to subside as the fire extinguished his.

Not only Harina was surprised by the change of the giant crocodile monster but Hiro, Renne, Cindy and Leo were back in touch since Harina came out of the crocodile's stomach was also shocked. As Hiro said. No one knew what Harina would find with her own hands.

Harina almost fell down and the monster began to calm itself down and it helped to improve its position and hold on to the muzzle of the giant crocodile monster.

The crocodile suddenly made a sound for the first time like he was trying to convey something and his voice clearly made a rough wave that was quite difficult to withstand by Harina's strength.

It finally crashed.

“Harina... Harina Aretha”'s

Harina immediately spread her gaze looking for the source of the voice.

“Harina, it's Leo, it's Leo, this is the last time we will guide you so listen carefully and right now you better stay there with the crocodile because if you leave then you will get to the next level and another challenge is waiting for you. So you can't leave before we're done explaining everything we want to say.” Obviously Leo is warning.

Hiro finally connects with Harina.

“Harina I only gave you a hint that the giant crocodile would not harm you. You have a strong bond as a result of our successful experiment. The crystal stone that just came out of his stomach was a crystal stone fragment that you have also within your body, and besides that giant crocodile you can find it in other monsters we've created. If it's not wrong, there are still 2 more that you haven't met.

The crystal stones they belong to are just fragments from your crystal. Therefore, they will obey their owners. So your job is to meet the two of them and don't let go of the crocodile.

Unfortunately I don't know what will happen to you anymore because the crystal stone connecting your bond has been destroyed by the giant crocodile itself. If it attacks you, make it tame again. Remember, he has saved you from those deformed spirits. You can continue to take refuge in him throughout the journey level by level.

Alright there, we will keep watching you but no longer help you so take a shower from now on.”

Connection interrupted. Harina neither replied nor asked. He sighed looking up at the giant crocodile monster who just fell silent while looking around.

Harina stood stroking the rough skin of the crocodile and climbed on it calmly so as not to surprise the giant crocodile monster.

“Giant... What am I supposed to do next? Please help me”
