SURVIVORS
Chaptre 135. City Leader's Puzzle
"You're back?" ask Widuri to Dean.
"Yes, it looks like the creature Alan hurt was quite intelligent. He's circling around and tricking us." Dean grumbling.
Dean, Alan and Yoshi sat on the bench looking annoyed. How could they not realize that they were being played?
"What do you think is that creature whose blood droplets are not even visible to the eye?" ask Nastiti to know.
"Yes, and how can only you see it?" ask Widuri to Yoshi.
Yoshi took out a small knife from his waist. Put it on the table.
"What do you want to do?" Dean held the knife on the table.
"I just wanted to show you something uncle, instead of committing suicide." Yoshi replied casually.
Dean took the pressure off his hand from the knife on the table. Yoshi raised the knife and injured his finger slightly. Something gathered, then it trickled down onto the surface of the table. Then the droplets were invisible again.
"Huh?! Whatisit? Missing?" Alan's confused.
"That's my blood" Yoshi replied.
"You guys saw Yoshi's blood?" Ask Alan the others.
"No. It was while still on his finger that it looked like it was gathering and then it fell and disappeared." Answer Nastiti.
"Translucent color. Transparently. I can't believe this. hahahaa..." Widuri scratched her head that had been for months and did not get shampoo.
"Is your father's blood like this?" Dean looked at Yoshi seriously.
Yoshi nodded. Alan, Widuri and Nastiti were stunned.
"Does this islander have blood like this too?" Alan asked suspiciously.
"No. Their blood is red." Answer Yoshi.
"So so far there's only you, your father and the creature we're after that has the same blood. Could you have a relationship? Or is he part of your father's people who are also stranded here and live in the woods?" Alan.
"I don't know. Maybe I can talk to Dad later." Yoshi Sahut.
"But how can you see that colorless blood? Do your eyes have any other perceptions or uses? Like a see-through eye in comics?" Nastiti still doesn't understand how Yoshi's eyes work.
"In my eyes, the color is clear, sparkling like the surface of the water overwritten by sunlight." Yoshi replied innocently.
"So, just at dawn, the color of the blood became visible to you" Widuri concluded.
"Auntie's right. That's why after the forest lights up, I'm having a hard time finding it." Yoshi nodded.
"It's no wonder we're finally going around in circles. Ahahaa.." Alan's spinning.
"That's it. The important thing is that we know one thing. That creature is like Yoshi. It also means he has a physical human being. Sooner or later, we'll find him." Dean Lerai.
"You're right Dean. It was likely that he was a creature that was peeping at Widuri at that time. Or it could be that he's a creature that got into that dome of light." Timpal Alan after he stopped laughing.
"Uncle, I have to go back. I must be worried because I didn't come home last night." Yoshi.
"Have your strength recovered? If not, let me drive you home." Reply Dean.
"no need. I can fly now. Looks like the water you have is very potent." Reject Yoshi.
"wait. If you've recovered, can you help Sunil? Please." please." Alan pleaded with Yoshi.
"Ah yes, I forgot there is still Uncle Sunil. I'll try."
Yoshi walked to the room where Sunil was still lying. Marianne sat next to him pensively. The water cup in his hand was half left. On the other side was Michael who slept soundly after sunrise.
"Auntie, did you give uncle a drink? How's he doing?" ask Yoshi kindly.
"It's still like yesterday. I don't know what's wrong. Dean and Alan who were more severely injured had even woken up." Marianne couldn't cover her grief.
"Let me try first." Yoshi took a seat next to Sunil. Marianne leaves to give her a place.
"Has your strength recovered?" Marianne was worried.
"Don't force yourself."
"I'm fine, aunt. Don't worry." Yoshi smiled sweetly.
Marianne nodded then walked out of the room. The room was crowded. Nastiti and Widuri did not enter the room.
Marianne holds water. He went back to the room. He could see a veil of milky white light illuminating the room.
"Thank you Marianne." Alan took over the drinking cup and went back to pay attention to Yoshi.
"Now let's prepare breakfast. They'll be done in a minute." Marianne said to Widuri and Nastiti who were still sitting at the table.
"good. The food is ready. Just be served." Nastiti got up from her seat and started cleaning the table before arranging the food bowl.
The table was neat and full of food as Dean carried Yoshi's body towards the women's room.
Just now that Widuri wanted to call for breakfast, she immediately shut up. Marianne took the bowl and filled it with wheat porridge as well as stir-fried meat and vegetables. The bowl was taken to the room.
"Dean, you're tired. Go have breakfast first. Let me feed Yoshi breakfast in the room. After that you can tell the city chief that he's here." Marianne said wisely.
"Thank you Marianne."
"Alan, get me a drink for Yoshi. Give it to Marianne in the room." Dean glanced at Alan who was still standing at the door.
"Ready." Alan ran small and held water for Yoshi.
"Dean, what do you think the city's head is from the world?" Ask Nastiti curious.
"How do I know? Later when I drop Yoshi off, I'll ask." Answer Dean. She also wondered what kind of creature Bi's husband was.
"What does Alan's afflicted creature have to do with Yoshi and the city chief?" Nastiti muttered while chewing food.
"Are you talking or gargling? Spend the rest of your mouth just talking. Just be curious," Alan scolded Nastiti.
"I'm talking to myself. Why are you the one who's kepo?" Reply Nastiti sewot.
"That talk to yourself is crazy to know. Did you have a concussion?" Alan returned to.
"Whatdidyou say? You're the one with the concussion to challenge the lightning to strike. You're not sane." Nastiti accused Alan with her index finger. His eyes glare.
"I was just playing around. O know that. I used to love playing lightning in the rain. Nothing's gonna happen." Alan defended himself.
"That was before you died on the rock!" Nastiti retaliated fiercely.
Alan remained silent. Nastiti's right. That was when he was still in his real body.
"I know wrong. I was just looking for an opportunity to restore my other strength by receiving that lightning strike. Look.."
Alan showed his index finger that emitted a very bright yellowish-red light and rattled finely like a small lightning bolt that struck here and there.
"You have lightning skills?" Widuri looked at Alan's finger in horror.
"Well, besides my laser-like red flame, I also have the ability of lightning. But since being in this body, my abilities have decreased. Unlike Sunil, which at that time could still emit blue light that had a nuclear-like effect. So...."
"So you think by receiving a lightning strike, your ability will return? If there's no Yoshi, you're dead for the second time. And Alan's gonna die too!" Nastiti is really angry.
"I know I'm careless. I'm sorry." Alan said sincerely.
"You better hope Sunil recovers soon. Or Nastiti will hate you forever." Edith reminded Alan.
Alan nodded in lethargy. He lost his appetite to continue eating breakfast. So he stood up to look at Sunil.
"Remove your breakfast! Until Sunil recovers, you don't think you can argue with me." Nastiti glanced at Alan.
"You're so fierce. I'm afraid to sit next to you" Alan muttered as he sat back down.
"We should be the ones who are afraid to sit next to you. Can high voltage electric shock!" Chirps Widuri.
"Haha.."
Dean could not help but laugh at the anger of the women. It definitely looks like a silly joke in the morning.
"Why are you laughing? You laughing at me?" Search Widuri.
"No. no.. I suddenly remembered the cartoon character Squidwort. Isn't he funny?" Dean dodged and smiled obliquely.
If it is wrong to answer, then the vexation of the women will turn to him.
'My mouth cannot be glued. Damn it's Dean's mind.
Seeing that the limelight had already turned to Dean, Alan continued his breakfast quietly.
"Patience friends. Woman was unexpected, indeed" Alan sent a transmission message to Dean.
Dean glared at Alan who put a sinless innocent smile on his face. If only he could fight, he would challenge Alan so much.
