Memento Mori
Ep. 9 Crime 1: Judgment 1

"Life is just for 'They'."

The monitor suddenly changed back. Now shows a video with a dark room background and only looks someone tied to a similar chair, his face full of fear, he even striped. The person in the video was like shouting something but, the audio on the video was like being deliberately turned off or maybe even deleted.

Then a few minutes later, the electric shock was exactly like what happened to Arai even this time not in 3 seconds. Until the person's skin begins to tan even blackish, the skin of the fingers that begin to tear and peel, the eyeballs that seem to want to come out of the skull face.

FEARS

That's all Arai now feels when he sees a more gruesome video of a murder film.

The person in the video looks lifeless but the electricity continues to flow through his body until sparks come out from under the chair and quickly burn the chair to the body of the person who occupies it.

The sparks did not look normal. So quickly the fire can burn the chair and the person, if they had not previously thrown something that makes the chair will burn faster when a spark arises from the friction of electrons on electricity.

"I'm not sure you'll remember. However, your crimes are the same. He is a fugitive who has not been sanctioned by the government. He kidnapped and sold more than 9 children. More than you, but he's a smart man." Obviously Nana is for the person who is on the video.

"Why are you doing this? Do you have a grudge against all those who committed the abduction?" asked Arai who was actually himself scared to death. If pressed even more by them, Arai could just pee in her pants right then and there.

"We do not take revenge only on the abductors" answered Nana gave a pause for the next sentence she would say,

"But this whole world."

Arai didn't think her question would scare him even more. Without realizing it, he wet his own pants. The warm feeling that flowed into his feet did not make his cold body disappear.

The back screen shows the initials M. META is back.

"Year. 20XX. Was. Your crimes. Yang. Tak. Unknowable. Together. Persons. These. You're. Burying. Two. Candidly. Bodies. Child anak. Child anak. Inside. Forestland. Eight on. Bodies. Been found. Four. Bodies. Others- Where. Them?"

Arai was surprised, his face deathly pale. He didn't think anyone would find out about it. Though when the bodies of the children were found, there was no evidence that led to Arai other than just ordinary kidnapping cases.

Because everything was arranged according to agreement. Even he purposely hid the photo as they performed the burial just in case the 'That person' lied to him.

But, "How are you-"

Arai had indeed forgotten the face of the person in the video in his memory. However, about burying the body, of course he can not forget it.

A silent night. In the dark and cold conditions of the night air in the mountains he was with someone else whom he could not see clearly, paid to bury something which he did not want to ask what was in it at that time. But the pay received is too great. Of course he buried something dangerous. But he could not resist and was tempted by the value he could never get just by working normally.

Very clearly what these people were talking about was the time before the case of 8 children found dead in the forest.

Arai realized something.

Waitaminute! They say 8 kids?!

Four bodies missing?

Arai just realized that. All the news said 8 children, but he was sure to have buried 12 black bags by then.

Arai's hair began to goosebumps when he looked back at the person in front of him at this time. Nana and R, and also the mysterious sososk who introduces himself as META.

Impossible - Impossible - Impossible!

Arai. His eyes were wide open, as if he had heard something he should have better not heard.

Nana smiled, raising her hand low. His mouth moved, but without a sound, saying, "That's me."

From the beginning they just circled around asking this and that to Arai just to play with him. When it actually happened they had all met before. Eight years ago before Arai was arrested.

When Arai who was just silent in shock knew he was just being played from the beginning. Suddenly R poured something on Arai from the top of his head to wet the tip of his foot.

Arai couldn't hold his mouth anymore to ask. The distinctive aroma that was smelled from the liquid that was doused to him was not necessary he asked again.

His body was shaking violently.

"T-please stop.kan...I don't want to..." Arai swallowed his saliva, ".dead like this.."

Nana just nodded her head casually, "We can't stop her. From the very beginning META could only control it. All functions of this chair are controlled by META."

After R doused gasoline on Arai, he walked away from Arai's location a few meters further. He walked like he was swallowed by the darkness around him.

Before Nana follows R, she approaches Arai first. Nana took something from inside her black blazer pocket. He took out a photo and then showed it to Arai.

"Is this what you want to hide?" Tanya Nana showed the photo in front of Arai's face

His face showed that the photo was his. An object that becomes an Ace card if something happens to him after that event. But it did not seem to apply to the people before him at this moment.

"You just calm down. I'll keep this photo well." Nana said as she patted Arai twice on the shoulder before she went to follow R.

Nana and R stand further than ever. Unlike before, this thing will light up even more intensely than the first and second experiments.

Arai with a frightened expression, turned to the monitor screen in front of him. There was no hope for him to escape from this place. Everyone here is crazy.

"Accept. Compassion. Overhead. Workings. His partner. Acknowledgments. Sins. Been. Ends. Time to. Judgment."

Arai's face was instantly cold, his soul seemed to have gone first before he felt anything. His life time was still a few minutes away, his mouth was muttering,

"Please...Please save me.please forgive me..."

In the tears that continued to wash over his face.

"No one will hear. No one will be able to help. God alone cannot help you." said Nana the last time heard by Arai.

High-voltage electricity flows into Arai's body. Small explosions began to be heard from behind Arai's chair. Sparks start to be seen and after hitting the liquid splashed on Arai's body. The flames quickly enveloped Arai's body.

The shriek full of screams that could be heard for a few seconds slowly disappeared along with the disappearance of the soul of the owner of the body. Every second the body was burning, ripping the skin to roast the flesh by fire. Each strand of hair was charred, leaving a blackened skull with a wide gaping mouth.

Arai's body was enveloped by flames. Nana and R seemed to have no intention to extinguish the fire that burned crazy enough. Until it completely disappears.

They certainly do not enjoy the view that is not beautiful for this view. However they are also human, who can distinguish between things. However, they feel very satisfied to do something like this.[ ]
