Telepathy: a Blessing or a Curse
Chapter 23 - The Tromperie

...

The building collapsed and was on its way to befall all of us.

Gio and I ran to avoid the debris of the building and to get away from the collapsed building.

Suddenly, Gio stopped running and clenched his hands together.

He pointed both his hands to the sky.

"Gio! Are you crazy! The building is too big!", I said.

Gio bit his lip and said, "Look down bro, as long as I live, nothing bad will happen to you".

I can see Gio's hands shaking.

Sweat washed his face, but Gio kept smiling.

Finally the broken building fell a little more on us.

Gio's face started to change but he didn't give up.

He bled from his eyes, his facial muscles contracted and all looked very intense.

A moment after, Gio smiled.

It succeeded! He succeeded in removing the building.

The collapsed building disappeared without a trace and became airborne.

"Adi, please help hold me dong"

Gio said as he bled out blood from his mouth.

Without thinking, I rushed to support his body.

I haven't said a word yet, I feel something is not right.

My feelings are not good.

I pulled Gio towards me quickly.

SWISSSHH!! AARR!!

I only heard a sound like the wind passing by, but where Gio was standing there was a hole deep enough.

"Cih.. The next one won't miss"

A person in a black robe appeared and again swung his hand towards us.

SWIISSHH

I held Gio tightly and avoided the attack just now.

Is he a Darkblessed?

Is he the reason Lulu disappeared and the building collapsed?

Is he alone?

Why is he here?

Why is he suddenly after us?

So many questions came to my mind.

"Be quiet, don't keep running, I'm tired of swinging my arms constantly" said the mysterious black-robed man.

For now he looks alone.

I tried not to think of anything so that I could focus more on avoiding the person's attack.

SWISSHHH

I felt a deep pain from my feet. I'm fallin. I can't stand up.

Thankfully, at least my legs were intact, not cut into two pieces.

The man walked slowly towards us.

I saw him start to swing his arms back.

Reflex, I raised my hand and pleaded in my heart to repel the attack of the person.

Along with the raising of my hand, in front of me appeared a large door made of earth that came to the surface.

The door managed to dispel the attack of the mysterious person.

Like someone was giving me inspiration, I held Gio and pointed one hand down the other.

The wind blows very hard.

All I'm thinking about now is how to get away from that guy.

The wind blew even bigger and finally managed to bring us flying into the sky.

The wind appeared around my arm and kept shooting down.

I used my hand as a rudder to direct where we were going.

Five minutes passed and I began to feel nausea and fatigue.

You come back down from the sky.

'At least me and Gio managed to escape from that person', I thought to myself.

"I told you not to keep running"

My body is silent.

"K-K-You, why is c-so quick to catch up with us?!"

I had a bit of difficulty speaking because at that time I was also spewing blood like Gio before.

The man smiled and laughed.

"HAHAHA... All right, as a parting gift, I'll let you know"

The man looked at his watch and said, "The answer is because....."

...

"Because none of this is real" suddenly Lulu's voice enveloped us.

Gio and I woke up from a long sleep.

The mysterious person disappeared, and our place changed.

We are back at the History Club.

I can see Gio as confused as I am.

"We were all tricked by Mr. Goethe"

Lulu touched her forehead and massaged her eyelids.

"Well, Mr. Goethe" he continued, staring into the bulge of the room.

Slowly slowly, the figure of Mr. Goethe appeared.

Faintly, Mr. Goethe seemed to emerge from the air.

He lifted his glasses and said.

"What do you think of my Bless? Not bad, is it?", he said with a smile.
