THE LINEUSS ATTACK (SYSTEM)
Chapter 3: Crossing Silently

Seeing the old and fragile grandfather, Rai's conscience appears and comes the desire to help grandfather. Although he was in a state of economic crisis but it was not a problem to help people in distress.

Speaking of pillows purchased from the grandfather, Rai felt strange with the pillows he had used from the beginning of the day when buying.

“Then it's just my feeling or not. Ever since I bought that pillow, why have I always had such a dream for seven days in a row. Let's just hope there's nothing weird about the pillow I bought from that grandpa.“ Rai said to himself, looking at his figure in the mirror.

Rai had a bit of a bad prejudice against the pillows he bought. Afraid that this pillow has a curse or evil spirit that makes him able to dream about it in the past week.

But he always thought positively and kept those prejudices away. Maybe it is a sign that he is too exhausted in work that ultimately affects his dreams.

“I better take a shower now.By the way my beard and mustache are already bushy, it's time to shave, it's time to shave,“ said Rai while looking at his beard and mustache which had already covered the bottom of his face as seen in the mirror in front of him.

Rai immediately opened the white cloth pad wrapped around his left hand, behind the dressing there was a long scar almost reaching his shoulder. Because the scar was so obvious and made her look ugly was also unsightly, so she decided to cover the scar with a white cloth.

This long wound he got from someone who hated him so much.

Taking off his clothes, we could see a lot of scratching wounds on the back of this young man. This is the result of the oppression of people who do not like it, Rai accepted without resistance, with a very weak physique of course Rai could not fight them.

The young man immediately took a bath, washed away the scratch marks on his back, and for a few minutes he bathed cleanly.

After that he cut his mustache and beard using a shaver for the mustache and beard he had long bought from a few months ago.

“This looks better than before.“ Rai stared at the figure of himself in the mirror, a handsome young man with short black hair disheveled slightly wet and deep gray pupils as if he could suck the soul of a person with one look.

Actually, Rai's face was very handsome but because he did not pay much attention to his appearance and rarely take care of his face, his good looks were covered and did not radiate out of his face.

The part around the mouth and chin has been clean from the many hairs that grow, look brilliantly clean. Now he felt his face brighter and fresher, although the panda pouch eyes were still clearly visible.

Retrieving his belongings for a bath, and already wearing clean clothes and re-cladding his left hand, he walked back to his boarding house.

On the way to kosan, he took the time to see the situation around the kosan, looks lonely rarely people who pass the road in front of the cost.

The boarding place has a strategic position because it is located on the side of the road wide enough to be able to pass by two cars at once, but see a quiet and quiet environment like this, like this, the intention to open a business trading directly extinct even before he started.

Click!

Rai went into the boarding house and put his toiletries and dirty clothes in the place he had prepared.

In accordance with his plans and intentions, Rai cleaned his room or his room, it only took half an hour more and now the room is clean and tidy.

“The mattress, the work table has been tidy, the floor has been clean shiny, now dust free and dirty.“

Rai stood up while looking at his room that had been clean and pleasing to the eye, very different from before that which was dirty and messy like a broken plane.

“It's time to finish the job!“ Rai is excited to work now. “Wait, before work I have to prepare something important.“

Rai walked over the small sideboard beside her mattress, then opened it and took out something like a small package in her hand.

“Drinking coffee in the morning while working, what a matchless pleasure,” said Rai while staring at the instant coffee package in his hand.

Then he picked up a special small cup of coffee and brewed it using hot water in his little thermos.

“I can smell the aroma of smooth working from this coffee.“

Sitting in a chair without any solids and putting a cup of hot coffee next to the laptop he bought a year ago, he is now ready to start his job.

Tik-tik-tik-tik!

Tik-tik-tik-tik!

The sound of typing when the fingers form a laptop keyboard is heard, this sound fills the silence in the cost.

Don't know how long Rai got into his contest while working. This young man concentrated heavily while occasionally sipping his coffee.

Because of Rai's focus on doing unfinished work, he did not realize that there was something strange about the pillow neatly placed on the mattress.

A small dark purple light shot out from the pillow he had bought from the grandfather. It kept drifting out of the pillow and the shining light grew brighter.

But at the moment Rai did not notice this at all, he was really busy and very focused on typing.

The purple light was getting brighter blinding, hovering the higher it almost touched the ceiling of the house.

Suddenly…

A purple-colored light shot very quickly towards Rai without giving Rai a chance to wake up and avoid it.

Swoosh….

When it hit Rai's body, the purple light seemed to converge and did not hurt anything on Rai's body. The purple rays were absorbed into Rai's body and disappeared like they had never appeared before.

“Uhuk! Uhuk! Uhuk!“ Rai coughed suddenly, then he drank his coffee to relieve his cough.

“What is it?!“

Rai turned his head to the right and to the left, he felt that there was a bright silhouette of light from behind his back earlier, but he only realized it after coughing struck his body.

After looking at his room and not finding anything strange, Rai resumed his work again.

Something strange slowly enveloped his body. His sleepiness suddenly took over his body. He often shook his head when he realized that he was sleepy, this drowsiness became more and more so making his eyelids become heavy.

“Ke-why do I feel tired and sleepy?“ rai muttered slightly, his body became limp with no energy, and he slumped his head on the table.

His consciousness began to thin as the seconds went by, and he began to blabber incoherently.

'What's wrong with my body?' inner Rai while his consciousness was still left.

'Why is it like this?'

'Is this a process of death?' Rai could not see anything, there was only darkness around him without a single speck of light.

'Shit! My little work will be done, just one more paragraph!'

'May I be born again and have a family in a new world!'

'I hope so…'

'I hope...'

'Like that.'

His consciousness disappeared completely just as the sentence he wanted to say was finished in his mind.

————

Srek…

“Mmm~...!“

A young man's deeply asleep face was now irritated that his sleep was being disturbed by something touching his body.

“Huh?"

Not long after that the young man got up and sat on a mattress that did not belong to him.

“Where is this?!“

This young man was Rai. Now he was sitting and looking at the room in front of him that had been dilapidated full of green moss like buildings that had never been taken care of and cared for for for several years. With a dim light he could still see the entire room.

Seen more clearly, this is like a room that is a little luxurious but has been occupied by the owner or tenant.

“Apartment? The hotel? Why is it broken like this? Where is this place?!“

After saying this, the young man's eye gaze moved to the side of his mattress that he was sitting on, something an unexpected sight was seen at this moment.

“Aaaaaa!“

A loud shout came out from the young man, his reflexes active suddenly he quickly jumped off the mattress, away from something that was on the mattress.

A human skeletal bone that was intact and still maintained its visible posture was curled up, it was clearly visible on the mattress. It seemed like the bones from the skeletal hand touched his body slightly and made Rai wake up.

“Ma-corpse?!“

Rai said a little stuttering, standing away from the dirty mattress while rubbing his eyes a few times to make sure that what he saw on the mattress was real or not.

He subconsciously continued to walk backwards without seeing what was behind him.

*Bugh…!

His back hit the wall of this room, and he turned to look behind him.

The slightly mossy and slightly cracked walls were clearly visible up close. Beside him was a window displaying the conditions outside this apartment.

Seeing that there was a window in this room, Rai approached the window carefully as he was afraid that something might appear to harm him. Vigilance should be in this kind of situation, as he really did not know where and how the place he was stepping on was now.

“Actually what is this place?!“

Outside this apartment, many buildings are towering, but look lonely and messy. All the vehicles on the big road in front of this apartment were overturned, also the buildings of dozens of floors and even dozens of floors look to have become a place for living plants. The building here has been shrouded in greenery such as moss, dollar vines, and english ivy. Lots of buildings were damaged and chunks of buildings fell into the street.

Like this place has been abandoned and not occupied by humans for several years. Very quiet and quiet, without being heard there was one living and moving creature in this area other than himself.

“What the fuck!“

Rai's body fell on the floor and she crawled frantically away from the window.

His eyes widened, his gaze fixed on this window, his heart beating faster this time.

“Am I alone here?“

“Who moved me here? What wrong? Why is my life like this?“

Rai sat on the floor while staring blankly at this dirty floor. He really did not understand why something strange like this happened to him.

“Is my life less miserable? Are all the insults and torture I have received lacking?“

“What's my mistake? Why would someone send me to this place? Does HE want to see my life getting dreary?“

“I have absolutely no understanding with all this..”.

The complaint about his life was a little issued by Rai, he was completely fed up with this life. Rai thought he would be reborn if it was true that he would die, apparently not at all, now that he was forcibly transferred with the same body from the previous world.

He made a mistake because he hoped.

Waking up slowly with a weak movement, he stood up with his head bowed down.

“Fuck with everything! I'm tired of living in sadness and loneliness.”.

“...I make sure my life in this world will be fun!“

Rai raised his head said excitedly, a glint of spirit flashed in his eyes.

Thinking again by him, the sadness was completely useless, he felt that too often enjoying the sadness made him more comfortable and at home life full of sadness, it was not something he wanted.

He wants a happy life. Rai is ambitious to make his own happiness, now he realizes if he wants something he must try and do not ask.

Do not wait for happiness to come by itself and you are silent without trying, your hope will surely be in vain.

Adjusting his mental and psychological, he turned back to look at the skeleton that was on the mattress in front of him.

Her curiosity had defeated her fear. Rai ventured to approach the mattress, his feet slowly stepping while focusing his gaze on the human bone.

“What is it?“ Rai saw something under one of the human skeletal arm bones.

“A paper?“

Taking a closer look, Rai could see a folded and slightly dirty piece of paper.

“Should I take it?“ Rai was confused as to how, whether he should take the paper or not.

Seeing the place where the paper was under the arm bone, Rai assumed that this paper was protected by this person while still alive, because it was the same as protecting the precious thing. It could contain important information about where he is now.

Believing his conjecture, Rai decides to take the piece of paper.

Leaning his body, the sheet of paper was in the middle of the mattress, so he had to put his body forward to be able to reach for this paper.

His hand involuntarily trembled as he raised the bones of this person's corpse, and he picked up the paper quickly.

After getting the paper, Rai immediately retreated and stood away from the mattress.

Looking at the dirty and dusty piece of paper in his hand, he prepared to unfold this piece of paper and read it.

A number of writing characters that he can read, it turns out that the writing on this paper is Indonesian.

Sunday, 24 January 2022

I've been stuck in this apartment for three weeks. I had finished the food I had stored in the refrigerator.

I really don't know what to do. Go out and look for food, but it seems impossible to do. Outside the apartment there are a lot of terrible creatures that are wandering around.

Should I stay here and wait for help from the central government?

How long do I have to wait? The electricity went out a week ago, it would have been boring without electricity.

But it's not too bad to wait for the central government's help to come rather than be like THOSE creepy ones.

If someone finds this note, and I have turned into like THEM here please kill me as soon as possible!

Thank you, buddy.

Rehan Faizul

A note from someone, most likely this is a note from the skeletal skeleton that was on top of this mattress

Reading this note makes Rai a little sad, it turns out this person survived in the apartment until he died, but from this note Rai found very important information.

It seemed like this world was not as safe as Rai thought. Obviously this record illustrates just how vulnerable and dangerous it is out there.

“Did this world have an apocalypse or something?“

“Then what is meant by this word 'THEY'?“

“I still don't understand, but for now I'll hold on to this note.“

“I must be careful if it is so dangerous this world, as mentioned on this note.“

Rai muttered after reading this note. He decided to keep this record in his pants pocket.

Speaking of clothes, Rai still wears clothes when he works, namely black short shirts and black boxer pants, there is one pocket in his pants.

Raising his head again and staring at the human skeleton on top of this mattress, Rai let out a heavy sigh.

“It turns out you didn't turn out to be like THEM you meant, Friend.“ Rai said while looking at this skeleton.

“So I don't have to kill you. May you be calm in nature there.“ Add Rai with a slightly sad expression.

*bum!

A loud voice rang out from one of the doors in this room.

“What sound is it?“ Rai searched for the source of the voice.

*bum!

The voice appeared once again.

Sontak Rai turned to one of the doors, Rai could see that the door full of dust near the hat hangers and clothes vibrated like it had been hit by something.

*bum!

*bum!

The muffled sound was getting louder and the more it appeared, the door was shaking more and more clearly.

“What's this! What should I do?!“ Rai took a few steps back from the door.

“Is that THEM?!“
