THE TASK OF HELL

THE TASK OF HELL
Searching for Past Remains*


They speak in English. Translation.


Erik and Antony read people's search results from data inputted by Vesper through Gina's body. Data from the big screen can also be broken into parts. Vesper grouped the satellite findings with Erik and Antony for study.


"See the new mapping of the world. This ... is quite surprising, guys. The countries that used to be along this territory are gone. These countries are disappearing and now they are becoming seas" Vesper said, leaving Erik and Antony's eyes fully rounded.


"What happened to the past?" boleslav asked with a frown.


"Here described a great war. It's just that if we study the history of the world can spend time, while we're not as comfortable as that," Vesper replied when a menu of information appeared next to the screen.


"We'll just delay. Focus on the current task" Antony and Vesper replied in agreement.


"Is ... are we here? Mega-US?" erik asked, pointing at the bright white writing.


"Yes. The American continent is divided into two. There are two states, North and South. The north is called New-US and the south is Mega-US" Vesper explained from satellite records.


"Then ... Where are the other countries?" ask Antony confused.


"Here it is recorded that the countries that we know before have been abolished. Some are still there, but changed names. The new government calls these countries Districts. Mega-US and New-US are the countries of this age. Then in the Asian continent there is a country called Great Ruler. Next there—"


"Vesper, danger! The police came here! Go quickly!" joel's cry suddenly emerged from behind the wall.


Vesper, who understood the emergency, hurried away. Gina's spirit points out another way to keep her body from getting caught by the police. The spirits follow Gina who leads them through a hallway of bright blue lights. Vesper looks tense because he is the only human in the group despite being an undead.


Until Vesper step finally stopped while at the end of the hall where the iron door can only be opened with a barcode. Vesper who began to understand how to work the use of striped marks like tattoos on the body was swiftly scanning the nape of his neck.


"Thank you for your performance today in the Old Village, Georgina Rovales. See you tomorrow" said the system when it opened the door for him.


Gina's spirit went first through the wall, waiting for Vesper on a helipad-like runway. The roof of the room was still closed when Vesper looked up. There is an object with a propeller on the runway surrounded by lights around as a light. Gina pointed to the flying vehicle as Axton had observed it back then. Axton immediately tells Vesper how it works.



"Then press this" Axton said, pointing at a button.


PIPS!


"Wow!" shock Vesper as it quickly works as he presses the 'power' button'.


Vesper saw Gina standing in front of the helicopter giving her sign language. The former mafia queen immediately entered data on her next destination.


"Routes have been selected. Auto-pilot operating system is run. It took three hours and thirty-five seconds to get to the border to Lumia District. Countdown departure time from 3 ... 2 ... 1. Heli-Go is running," says the system.


"Hows it? Is comfortable?" asked the curious Erik who floated with part of the body inside the helicopter and the rest were outside.


"Yes. This is very exciting, Erik," Vesper replied as the helicopter moved by itself into the route like a motorway in the air.


Vesper sat sweetly watching the similar flying vehicles passing around him. Amazingly, the vehicles lined up neatly no one overtakes except using a manual steering system. Vesper once saw someone running a Heli-Go by operating it themselves. The helicopter gets a special lane with red lights on as a sign if it is not run on auto-pilot. As the spirits were enjoying the ride in flight, suddenly, a hologram screen appeared on the windshield window of the helicopter. Vesper was stunned and silently watched.


"Breaking news's. The warmest report on Mega-US just covered by Media-Bot. A patrol robot in the Old Village found blood stains on clothing with a tummy-like tear identified as belonging to Georgina Rovales. It was investigated if the Old Village guard woman had accessed some data at the Head Office and met with other guards before the case was reported. Brego, the husband of a woman known as Gina, has not been found. Police robots are still venturing around to look for the whereabouts of Gina and Brego. Old Village patrol robots also found knives following blood stains in a historic house and are being identified as belonging to it. This report is of particular concern to all residents including Mega-US and all nearby districts. Good night and peace," said a woman like a news anchor.


"Oh, shit!" squeak Vesper with a tense face. When Vesper was panicked, he realized that Gina's spirit was not with him. "wait. Where's Gina? Is he coming with you?" veper asked, looking at Erik and Joel, half-body in the helicopter.


Joel and Erik, who were aware of Gina's absence in their group, rushed out of the helicopter to look around.


"Looks like Gina hasn't been with us since takeoff. Damn, I was also unaware of it because I was curious about the transportation system in this age. Stupid" said Boleslav to himself.


"Then I'll be back!" axton suddenly flew down.


"Axton, stop! You'll be separated from us!" erik shouted in panic.


"Don't worry! America's in my brain!" he shouted as he flew down.


"Agh, shit! Why is it so complicated like this!" erik's grunts eventually follow Vesper's helicopter.


Vesper, who was told by Erik about Axton's plan, immediately widened his eyes.


"How can you let him go! Axton's got the chain!" it was Vesper who made Joel and Erik's eyes bulge.


"You go. I've seen this helicopter stop route. Make sure when you land later, you don't go far from the runway. I'll pick up Axton soon and catch up with you guys" said Boleslav, who made Joel and Erik anxious because they were separated.


"Yes, already. Be careful," Erik replied in the end.


Boleslav flew down to pick up Axton. The frustrated Vespers could only grumble inside the helicopter. He did not intend to return to the Old Village because it would create a furore. Given that finding a body was very difficult, he decided to continue the journey.


"Don't worry. I'll keep an eye around. I'll tell you if I see the arrival of the two fools" said Joel with a flat face. Vesper could only nod in resignation as there was nothing else to do.
