The Moon In Darkness
Ch.3 Explosion

The event began with a full speech by the moderator, an event that can be said to be relatively simple but impressed glamour has special rules, namely,

...[ Again, I remind honored guests to wear a mask on their faces.]...

"Well, keeping identity secret is indeed the main thing for connoisseurs of illegal events, can be critical if spread globally." Kristina then put on a fox mask that hans gave her and immediately took a place at random.

...[ Thanks again to all the guests who came to celebrate our simple event ! ]...

...[ Now let's start the event that we've been waiting for a long time ! ]...

The auction began, and in accordance with the assumption that Kristina did not like the sale and purchase event. "It seems like I was expecting too much about the auction this time" he protested, he immediately got out of his seat and prepared to leave.

Kristina's steps stopped for a moment when she felt her hair goosebumps about something, but that did not stop her intention to leave the auction, until he seemed to hear a faint whisper out of nowhere that kept asking him to turn around to see what was behind.

...”kema..rilah.. tu.. an. ja.. an. ti.. galkan.. a. ku !"...

..."ma. f ka. n a. ku. tu.ann ! "...

The heavy, faint voice continued to whisper in his ear "Who? ", because of his high curiosity he turned his head and was surprised, because he did not see anyone suspicious, but only saw a mask *The Oni has a long golden horn right in the middle of the stage.

...[.[ ...This was the last item that would be the auction cover on this day! a sacred mask from the lost Dynasty! it is said that this mask has its own mind to choose who is entitled to be the owner! let's start the price quote ! ]...

"50$!! "

"85$!"

"100$!!! "

"300$!! "

"500$! "

Everyone was also interested in the sacred mask and immediately raced the race to give the highest price.

"ahh. I have to get the mask." murmured Kristina, not long after the lights suddenly turned off by themselves, the guests began to feel panic and fear. The ship's staff on guard were astonished and tried to revive their lighting. A few minutes later, the lights were turned on and a commotion broke out.

"AHH! A CORPSE! "

Fresh blood flowed from the stage, adorned with several limbs of the moderator as well as his servants. When everyone was in a panic, one of them realized that the sacred mask had disappeared from its place.

[Ship Direction ]

There was a man standing looking at the night sea, holding a mask in his hand. The man's body gave off an extremely dense scent of blood, even everyone was reluctant to ask what happened to him.

"i don't understand, does the government also need an ancient mask to take care of the country?" sindir Kristina who was still wearing a fox mask while pointing a gun at the man.

"haha what do you mean? all this time the government has taken good care of the country, can't they get a reward for it?" The man replied as he turned his body "a long time no see ya.. Little friend "continue the man.

Kristina frowned "All your words are still nonsense, Reihan. I was surprised to think you had changed professions to become a steward of a ship." said Kristina again.

"Geez, I did it just for you Tina. Oh yeah, you don't have to be stiff with me, but I'm grateful to still be able to see you one last time" said the man followed by a faint smile on his face.

Kristina stayed silent and started preparing to shoot "remove the mask and get out of here." Kristina replied to the Reihan.

"Isn't.. I should have told you that?" suddenly a dagger darted and almost hit Kristina's face, Fortunately she quickly dodged and the surprise attack only hit her fox mask. He took off the mask and threw it on the floor.

"this will only block my visibility." murmured Kristina.

"Ah. I can finally see your face again Tina."

"Fuckhead." the girl grumbled.

"I'm sorry for the brazen treatment of my men, but if it wasn't like this you wouldn't want to show me your face, would you?" Exclaimed Reihan who was walking towards Kristina, When he was at a close distance he reached into his pocket and gave a handkerchief to the girl in front of him.

"Just tell me what you want, you could kill me directly if you want to?" Cetus Kristina without receiving the handkerchief Reihan gave.

"Oh? I didn't see it wrong?" christina muttered, she understood Hans very well, because Hans was stubborn and had a bad temper.

"how can he hold back his emotions?"

"Of course he can do it, because on this ship there is a person who is valuable to him." chirped Reihan who made Kristina again put on her cynical face.

"I repeat for the last time, what do you want?" kristina, who is now returning, points the gun at the man's head.

"Alright if you really want to know.. Come back to me, Tina, I will explain everything you have done. To the government, even everyone."

pinta Reihan to Kristina with a pitiful pleading face accompanied by a worried look.

"What if I don't want to? explain anyway? shouldn't the government be grateful that I have carried out all my duties with great joy?" sahut Christina.

Reihan let out a long sigh and looked back at his clingy "..Then with a heavy heart I must take you by force." He quickly grabbed Kristina's gun and hit her on the shoulder. The surprise attack was easily countered by Kristina who directly hit Reihan's lower abdomen, then he bent his hand back to fall.

There was also Reihan grimacing in pain as Kristina twisted her hand back. He put his gun back on Reihan's head, which was now under him.

"you lost" Kristina said arrogantly

"really? Tina. Do you know, the government really wants to make you die in any way, even if it has to sacrifice the lives of others. "

"What does that mean.. ?" Kristina tried to digest the words Reihan had just said, until she finally realized something.

"CRAZY TIMES! " outraged Kristina, she realized that the agents who had been waiting for the command were not to shoot her, but to die with her.

"smell the gunpowder.don't ! " when Christina wanted to shout with all her might to her men to leave the ship immediately, she arrived.. BUMM!

Bomb exploding. Just as he was trying to save his people, he dragged everyone to die with him.

****

"What.. have I done? "

"Why can't I save them? "

"Why can I be careless? "

"Why do I always make others miserable.. "

"why..why do I always wreak havoc?"

My voice can't come out.. What the hell's going on? did it all explode? are there no survivors? What about that mask? what happened to Hans and the others.

Ah.. So this is the sea at night.. Dark... silent.. and.. cold? All my body is numb, I can't move my body. Why am I so pathetic?ever since I've been pathetic, I've been trying to be useful. Butwhat? I'm just a curse to everyone.

Without me knowing, I also resigned to death that had been in plain sight. My body seemed to want to take it all out and instantly fused with the water in the ocean.

Bena, if I die.. Everyone will live in peace, right?

Then, as I wanted to close my eyes, a glimmer of reddish light flashed swiftly across the dark night sky.

What..that?
