Murder In The Old Castle
LXXXIII. Fail Defense
Cornellio. Unexpectedly, the black-robed figure was in his room in a state of alert, with a machete in hand. Instincts to protect themselves revolted instantly. He retreated slowly, while staring at the alert figure who was ready to finish him off. The figure was still in its place. A white mask covered his face, so he could not see the figure clearly.
“You're afraid of Cornellio?” ask that figure.
Cornellio did not answer. Actually he felt afraid, especially he was in a state without weapons. Room space is also limited. He thought that if he faced this killer with his bare hands, he would surely perish. He was spinning his brain, how to escape.
“I can see your fear, Cornellio. Don'worry. I'll kill you quickly and painlessly. Maybe you escaped in the blaze, and you escaped when I locked you in the basement. But this time I made sure you wouldn't get away with it because there was no one to help. The third chance is no more. Your history will end in this room!” say that figure.
That sentence rattled Cornellio. He didn't want to die silly in this room. His eyes glanced to the side, looking for what he could use for self-protection. Suddenly he remembered Ammar's handgun which he had kept in his closet drawer.
Unfortunately to reach out, it takes the carelessness of this murderous figure.
As fast as lightning, Cornellio ran to the side, behind the bed. The figure's eyes seemed to be unable to catch all the movements of Cornellio. He started to approach swinging the machete in his hand.
“Do not medekat!” Cornellio's orders.
The figure's steps were temporarily held back. His eyes squinted, while Cornellio suddenly threw an elephant-shaped ornament from the ceramic towards the cloaked figure. Suddenly he protected his face from Cornellio's throw. Seeing the opportunity, Cornell immediately went up to the bed. Threw a pillow, then thrown towards the cloaked figure. Cornell tried to throw whatever was nearby, as long as he survived.
The pillow was successfully repelled with a machete, so that the pillow containing the cotton was scattered. The cloaked figure was increasingly fiercely hunting Cornellio. As powerful as the man tried to survive the sabetage of a knife bertubi-tubi. There is only one in his mind, he cannot die!
It is hard to face someone who is armed. Cornellio's getting cornered. At the end of the room, he can't go anywhere! The eyes of the figure stared at him sharply.
“You can't go anywhere, Cornell! It's free you run. Your end is near!” say that cloaked figure.
“I'm not that easy to die! Even if I die, Ammar doesn't stay silent. He'll catch you anytime soon. Believe that! All the rot and masks you wear will soon be revealed!” Cornellio.
“You don't need much to say! Last message for Adrianna?” ask the figure.
“Never dare to touch it!”
“oya? What can you do? Of course I'll kill everyone. You two are so sweet, but unfortunately it won't be long. Hiyaa!” suddenly the cloaked figure thrust forward with a machete thrust towards Cornellio. Cornell's touch twitched to the side, so the sabetage only hit empty space.
Seeing his attack fail, the figure grew increasingly blind. He didn't let Cornellio get away with it. Cornell had reached the closet. As fast as lightning he opened the drawer, and pulled out a gun. Now he pointed the gun at the figure who was chasing him.
“Do not come near or I blow your head!” Cornellio.
The man stopped his steps. But he did not feel afraid. He stood up, but remained vigilant.
“I'm not sure you dare shoot me. You're a writer, not a cop. I'm not sure you can use that gun properly!” teasing the cloaked figure.
“I'm not messing around! I'm really going to shoot you!”
“Shoot me if you dare!” challenge that figure.
Dooor!
Firearms are erupting!
Unfortunately, what the cloaked figure said was true. Shaking, Cornellio's shot missed the wall. The black-robed figure smiled in satisfaction. As soon as he advanced, he took a machete to Cornellio's body. There is no time to escape!
Cornellio's screams are on hold. A huge tear hit Cornellio's chest and stomach mercilessly!
***
The sound of a gun popping from Cornellio's room shocked the rest of the castle. Even Ammar who was locked in his own room also looked agitated, he wanted to run towards the sound of the eruption.
“Get me out of here! Eject me!” his yell.
Unfortunately, everyone did not hear the screams of the police. All were more focused on the sound of a firearm eruption than Cornellio's room.
The first one to Cornellio's room was Elina. The young girl screamed when she saw Cornellio's door open. From outside the room, Cornellio's figure was lying in a bath of blood. For a moment, everyone crowded in front of the room.
Adrianna was shocked to see the incident. As if in disbelief, a few minutes ago he was still chatting with Cornell, then found his lover's body collapsed with a sad state. He was hysterical, but Hans hurriedly took him away.
Now only Michael, Aldo, Maira, Elina, and Helen stood at the door of Cornellio's room, staring at the figure of the man lying as if in disbelief.
“What should we do?” ask Aldo.
“Entahlah. I'm rattled. Soon we will all be killed in this place,” murmured Michael.
“I think the one who will be killed tonight is me. Cornellio. Apparently he's not lucky. His luck is gone,” whispered Maira.
“Why do you think you'll get killed tonight?” ask Michael.
“I saw the writing on my dresser. He apparently offered me whether I wanted to die or not. I want to kill the killer with my own hands. It's absolutely crazy!” said Maira.
“I will report this incident to Ammar. He should know. I am confused what to do, because I do not have any authority,” said Michael.
“I'll check his legs tomorrow. I think he needs a little bandage, and I'm going to do some recovery on his leg with a closed reduction method. In a few weeks he will recover, as long as he does not do much movement. There are also drugs that he must take,” said Aldo.
“Some weeks? Holy hooch! By the time Ammar's foot recovers we'll all be dead bodies that die horribly!” said Michael.
“You want it like that? Why don't we just fight the killer motherfucker?” maira.
“But we don't know the killer's identity yet. It could be Hans, Aldo, Adrianna or even you or myself. Who knows? What we're dealing with is really unclear!”
“I'll trap him my way. I'm sick of all this!” said Maira.
“Don't be rash! You can die silly of it!” Michael warned.
“I'll be home with those young people! I don't want to stay here long!” elina said with an anxious and devastated look.
“Don't worry, Honey. You'll be safe. I don't think the killer is after you at all. We are the only ones being targeted. You don't have to worry. I'm sorry, because I let you see this. But your request to get out of this castle, that's good. One of the young men was staying in a room owned by Yoga. Tomorrow I'll leave it to him so you can go home with their entourage. Don't worry!” said Aldo.
“Alright! It is important that you seek safety yourself. Because no one can protect. Ammar is injured in the leg, while my ability is limited. I could be killed at any time. After this I'll talk to Ammar. May you all come out of this castle alive!” Michael explained.
