Purity Online - The World For The Fallens
Day 63: Project Purity Online (Part 2)
CCTV Operating Room, Yuuki Junior High School.
"Hm?" An officer raised his eyebrows in confusion when he saw one of the screens before him displaying 9-B CCTV footage suddenly die. Shortly after, the screen came back to life and featured a scene of a schoolgirl punching another student in the face. After that, the jet black color again mastered the screen.
"Well?!" The officer was surprised. "Round? I must report this to the teachers immediately!!"
—————————————————————————————
"Then ... the event happened ...."
"Police came to my house with Yukiko who had not known since when her face and body were filled with false bruises. I tried to explain the true events to them, but it was useless. They've prepared false evidence. The CCTV only showed the scene where I hit Yukiko, and all the witnesses in the class said that I was the one who bullied her. Apparently, there's a third party that's orchestrating all this and showing false evidence."
The girl named Yuukaru closed her eyes, reassembling those annoying memories in her mind.
"Excuse me, sister Yuukaru. You we're under arrest for the persecution. Now, please come with us to the office."
"But I didn't do anything!!!"
"Catch it, sir!! He's the one who bullied me!!!"
"What?! No, Sir!! Quite the opposite!!!"
"Shut up!! Better follow our words and quickly get into the patrol car!!"
"But-"
"Please don't force us to use rude means!!!"
"DON'T!!!"
Tears were pouring down Yuukaru's face. He hit back the cell floor tiles, this time in a row.
"Now, just waiting for the trial. But, what can I do? I don't have the money to hire a lawyer. I don't have any legal or police acquaintances."
"Damn ...."
"DANGERS!!! DAMNIT DAMNIT!!! DAMNIT DAMNIT!!! DAMNIT DAMNIT!!! SHIT!!!"
"I don'T have a lawyer, HOW CAN I WIN IN COURT?! WHAT KIND OF LAW IS THIS?! HOLY SHIT!!! THERE IS NO JUSTICE!!! JUSTICE IS TRASH!!! IT'S FREE THAT I KEEP TRYING, IF IT'S FINALLY THE ONE WHO USES THE DIRTY WAY WHO WINS!!! Justice is garbage ..., TRASH!!! ALL HAPPY ENDING IS JUST A MIRAGE!!!"
"But, I think going berserk in this holding cell is useless .... Those police officers will only scold me for being noisy. They were fooled by false evidence. Escape from here? It'll just make me a fugitive. My life will not be calm. Besides, I can't escape this holding cell. Who knows what security system they have here.”
Yuukaru wiped away the tears that filled his face, then gazed up at the ceiling of the prisoner cell.
"I guess .., all I can do now .. is hope for a miracle. Even if the miracle cannot exist. It's all just an unreal fairy tale, like a fake puddle in the desert from refraction of sunlight."
Suddenly, the sound of footsteps rang out, echoing in the narrow passageway in front of Yuukaru's holding cell. Realizing someone's presence, Yuukaru hurriedly wiped away the remaining tears still stuck to his face and got up to his feet, then stepped closer to the cell's iron bars.
The sound of the step grew louder, indicating that the owner of the foot was getting closer. The source figure of the footsteps was now right in front of Yuukaru, separated only by iron bars. The same police officer as earlier, still with the same cynical look.
“There is a new order,” said the policeman. “Atasan told me to recruit you as an alpha tester of a secret government project, the virtual world of Purity Online. I hope this project can reopen your heart that has been covered by darkness.”
Both of Yuukaru's eyebrows are linked. He looked confused. “Project ... Purity Online?”
