ORION
Cold Eve, Gripping
In hotel room no 130. Temporary Arutala Group venue.
“The children he said were kidnapped were NED Fighters? If so, then what I say will be the center of your attention temporarily,” said Orion.
“What do you mean, Orion?” Mahanta asked.
“There was a student in my class. He said the student was injured and had a critical period for the past 3 years. But it's impossible, if he doesn't grow in a single inch.”
“If the student is critical, then it could be. What timeframe? The moment before she experienced that and after?”
“For 2-3 years passed he was critical. And until now he is still in 3rd grade with no body changes at all,” explained Orion.
Orion actually slipped a lie. The student that Orion meant was Lily, Lily's existence that was quite confusing would make Orion keep thinking about it.
Where Lily was a 3rd grade student when Orion wasn't gone. But after 20 years passed, Lily did not change at all and remained in the 3rd grade.
And Orion changed the story by making Lily a critical student and when she was cured, there was no change at all. Just like Lily who first met Orion in the past.
“I just heard this for the first time,” said Mahanta.
“Yes, I'm the same. Even so, even if there is no change both from the outside and inside, could it mean that he is just like us?” thought Gista.
“That's what I want to say!” sahut Orion's.
The twinkling stars filled the night sky. The day was getting late, the vehicles passed more and more quiet outside. Orion looked at her from behind the window, thinking that maybe Lily was shrinking.
It was clear, if Lily was indeed an NED Warrior, it was impossible for Lily to die in the same year. Even so, the time he got up can also be anytime and not necessarily after 20 years, just like Orion.
This is what is a mystery at the moment. When the enemy does not seem to be still joking out there, but the bad fate that befell the NED Fighters, especially the little ones, it must be very heavy.
Gista deeply studied Orion's earlier words. But there are not many answers that he can get if only listening to the story.
“Tomorrow I'll stop by your school. Meet the student so I understand the situation,” Gista said.
“Nona Gista, let me solve this problem. You just think about the plans that we will face in the future,” said Mahanta volunteered.
“No. I myself will go there and take care of it,” said Gista refused.
“Nona Gista will do the same as you used to do to me?” thought Orion. Then Gista nodded, right.
Gista's ice power, which was able to create illusions around the target. But Gista's ability is not only that, which can know the blood trail of the target itself. Although it sounded useless, the ice was able to distinguish the blood of ordinary people with the blood of ordinary NED Warriors or with the blood of NED Warriors which was fairly rare.
Due to the power that the illusion touted as well, Gista knew the blood that Orion had was rare blood. Blood is the connection between body and soul.
“Attack, defense and also a trick. I'm sure this woman is very strong. Perhaps this power is what is often called a magician.” Orion nodded his head several times.
“But take it easy. It will not hurt his body as well,” continued Gista.
“I know. That's why it's called an illusion when Miss Gista uses it, right?” chirps Orion let out a short breath.
“Hey, what are you talking about exactly?” asked Mahanta who did not understand the conversation between the two of them.
Clack! Orion opens the door to the room, about to go somewhere, but they both hold it for a while and ask where Orion is going.
“I want to meet the City Hero for a bit. Just for a moment,” said Orion while smiling looking back.
“Please,” says Gista doesn't mind.
“Eh?! But, Miss Gista!” pekik Mahanta unintentionally made a loud noise in shock that Gista let Orion leave just like that.
Orion is happy to be allowed to go away but on the other hand he is also worried that Gista knows something about him.
“There is no way that his strength can know my past too,” Inner Orion.
The atmosphere of the hotel is not quiet but also not crowded. Because it is calm, the air around feels cool. With the fragrant room is fragrant, and hot food or drinks immediately smell too.
“Loh, you again? Where are you going?”
Suddenly someone who seemed to know Orion called out. She is a mature brown woman, Raiya Meera Group Chairman.
“I just want to get some fresh air,” replied Orion.
“Oh, then brother te—”
Before this woman refutes it, Orion again speaks with a little firmness, “And I prefer myself.”
“Ah, so.” Obviously the woman looked heavily disappointed because Orion was reluctant to be accompanied.
Orion continued his journey. Climb the stairs to go up to the 16th floor. Here was the floor, the place where the City Hero lived.
“I doubt that all these floors he occupies. About where, huh his room?” muttered Orion while looking around.
If possible Orion could find it through premonition or instinct. Usually if the instinct leads to immediately avoid it then it means he is the person sought.
Orion is trying it now.
“All doors look the same. Just try it if there is no number, then surely I will get lost,” muttered Orion then he stopped after a few steps through the room the 10th time.
Orion was silent for a moment. It feels like he is being watched by someone from all directions. But his sensitivity leads to a hotel room that is now beside him. Then he faced the door.
“In the corner of the floor there is indeed a cctv camera. But this is not wrong anymore, what I feel right now is real. And he's behind this.” Orion.
Instincts that lead to distress around, even if others are impossible. Because the other Chief already knows Orion. That was why Orion thought that this aura was an aura belonging to the City Hero.
The City Hero was not just a title. This guy is even very cautious. Already so air its existence is not kidding, and had made Orion unable to move.
It felt gripping and as if a sword was being held up right around Orion's neck. To make him shudder.
Geck!Geck!
Twice Orion knocked on the door, hoping for an answer from inside the room. After waiting for 10 minutes, there was still no answer.
Orion's feeling increasingly agitated, his sweat pouring profusely, and feeling he could not bear, he turned around. Intended to return, but his curiosity increasingly shackled.
