Memento Mori
Ep. 7 Crime 1: First Revenge (3)

Arai gawked at the large monitor screen before him. He was unable to digest in his already chaotic mind what was happening to him. All too absurd and unexpected.

He knows he must be hated by people out there. But this country has rules that cannot be careless even though your enemy is a criminal. Therefore, he did not feel afraid to return to society.

"I. META."

The voices of women and men come together like the processed results of a program makes Arai wonder,

Who her?

"What do you want from me?" Arai ventured to ask, although in the end no one answered Arai.

The intimidating aura released by the two people in front of him was very different, Arai was like being confronted with a group of ferocious beasts that were ready to prey on him alive.

In fact they are more terrifying than a group of criminals that are found imprisoned. Arai had met various people who had a history of being prisoners. There is a thief, kidnappers like himself, fraudsters, rapists and even murderers and addicts he has met.

But when he saw these two people in front of him. His body was as if he was terrified. Such a huge mysterious aura shrank his mentality. His life was like being on their palms.

Arai may not be able to see the gaze and face of the man named R clearly. But for Nana. Arai looked at the woman as if she was not afraid of anything, even she did not show the expression that women usually do when faced with something terrible for most women.

"I'm the. Your sins."

The short words that made Arai shudder in horror.

The word sin may be attached to Arai, however, why does he feel like he is in the judgment of God?

"Year. 20XX. Was. Cases. Evils. Your first. You're. Kidnaps. Three. Persons. Child anak. A time. Differ. The day. Differ. On-site. Differ. Two. Persons. Child anak. The male. One. Persons. Child anak. Female. One. Child anak. Been. Returning. Two. Child anak. Others- Where. Them?"

"You kidding!? 20X? that was 17 years ago. How am I still hanging out?"

Suddenly Arai felt the fingers that were stuck on the chair he was sitting on was like a tingling sensation. A familiar but painful sensation.

"YARRGGGHH!!"

The electric current was very felt flowing on his body a moment later, as if he wanted to jump on a chair in the first second of the shock he felt.

1...2...3...

The electricity from the chair stopped for a painful 3 seconds.

Arai looks drowned. His head was just heavy. R who saw this immediately approached him. With her gloved hands she grabbed Arai's hair and then hit him in the face so that Arai could regain consciousness.

"Wake up! No one's gonna let you close your eyes."

Arai opened his eyes, he still felt weak from the sudden electric shock he felt.

"You guys.gila.." murmured Arai while looking at R.

When R is eager to hit back Arai. META spoke again,

"R. Back."

R who heard the META command immediately removed Arai's collar and retreated back to the position where he was with Nana.

"Evertime. Again. I'm. Inquired. Where's the. Them?"

Arai had no other choice, if he did not answer. Electricity from this chair will again electrocute his body.

"Do not know...I don't know where they are now."

"Questions. Next."

Arai widened his eyes, there was another question. In other words, it is likely that he will still feel an electric shock if he does not answer it.

"Year. 20XX. Was. Cases. Evils. Both ofyou. You're. Kidnaps. Two. Persons. Child anak. A time. Differ. The day. Differ. On-site. Differ. One. Persons. Child anak. The male. One. Persons. Child anak. Female. One. Child anak. Been. Returning. One. Child anak. Others-Where is.he?"

Now 11 years ago, why did they just ask about the kidnapping? Are they the closest person to one of those children?, Arai murmured inwardly.

"I don't know." replied Arai sooner than before.

"You. No. gabe. Clever. To. Dodge it."

Back the electric shock flowed all over Arai's body. He screams in pain.

3 Seconds later stop. Arai is back in limp.

"Three. Child anak. Yang. You're. Kidnaps. Indicated. Disappear. Where's the. They."

"..."

"No. Want to. Answer. Now." Now."

Arai's body immediately goosebumps what will happen to him if he does not answer.

"ALL RIGHT!!" yelled Arai scared. He did not want to feel painful suffering like being electrocuted. "I'll say it. But not with this electric shock."

"We. Pleased. Heard it."

Arai can feel the META like more having fun seeing himself tormented in this chair with a stream of electricity penetrating his body.

"At that time, someone came to see me, I didn't know who he was. The man also did not mention his name, but another person in the car called him 'doctor'. He'll pay me to bring the children I could kidnap them. 17 years ago, I brought the two children to them and 5 years later they wanted another child that I could bring to them. The rest, what the kids are for.Where they are.I really don't know."

Arai's body trembled as he said all the things he should have buried deeply with his body, before his tongue moved like this.

"Is it just 'don't know' that you can answer?" Nana Syndicates. "You sold them, didn't you?" nana added, annoyed by Arai's explanation.

"!!"

Nana took a step closer before Arai.

"The human body is very expensive if sold on the black market. Apart from the adult organs, many children's organs are looking for."

Nana stared fixedly at Arai. Looking at the look on Arai's agitated face, it seemed that this information was correct. But he did not know that it was all just camouflage, to cover up what really happened.

"You need money. You needed it most. Your job at that time is impossible, even the closest people can not help you. Therefore, the person you are referring to, is not looking for you but you are looking for him. Through the information you are looking for yourself, with the intention of making money quickly and instantly. You saw something and then called them." Nana turned her body towards the other empty room, "Next that becomes your first crime."

Arai soaked his dry throat, as he swallowed his own saliva it was like eating a spiked ball. Hearing Nana's description made her body even more agitated. He doesn't want to hear...He doesn't want to hear it!

"Why do you need that much money?"

Nana turned back to face Arai, "Let me give you 3 choices of answers, if you still 'do not know' the right answer."

Nana points her index finger, signifying the first choice, "For fun."

Nana adds her middle finger as the second count, "To survive."

Lastly Nana added her ring finger, "To escape."

"What is the answer choice?"
