The Tippingback of Rania's World
Episode 112 - Finding a Way Out

Bruk! Rania fell into a traphole. Grataks! The trap door closed again.

"Qian! What's going on?" rania Exclamation.

Rania's voice roared in the basement.

"Help me! Qians... It's crowded and muddy here!"

"Tai!!! Kyaaa... snake!!!"

Rania screamed with all her might. Eye-level and foul-smelling tears littered her blue-colored clothes.

His hips were still sore from falling from a height of two and a half meters. His right leg was sprained and scuffed. How not, two and a half meters is not a low altitude. Fortunately, none of his bones were broken.

"Tai!!!"

There was no response from Qiandra. But Rania heard the sound of footsteps away from her.

"Well, Qian left me here? The insolent! So he set me up on purpose?"

Rania clenched her hands due to emotions.

"Qian! Don't leave me here! Look at it later, you'll pay the price for all this as soon as I'm free" exclaimed Rania.

There's no reply. All that was heard was the sound of footsteps continuing away, and the echo of his own voice.

His eyes stared intently at the two spouting beasts that were in front of him.

"Not moving?" thought Rania.

"Well, it's just a three-dimensional picture? Fyuh gurat. I thought it was a real snake." Rania breathed a little.

The jet-black venomous reptile was apparently only a three-dimensional image painted in such a way on the wall of the hole.

The dim candlelight made Rania's view less clear. That's why he thought the painting was real.

"But how do I get out of here? There's gotta be a way."

The hole is two and a half meters deep with an area of about two times two meters was covered with iron bars tightly at the top.

There are no levers or windows on the walls of the hole. Everything is really a wall.

The only way out is from above. The iron bars can open like before, when they accidentally touch the key.

"There must be another way out. First I have to get help." Rania reached into her pants pocket.

"God! My HP seems to be missing at the dining table. Why at this time even teledor anyway?" rania's annoyance.

Not losing her mind, Rania touched the entire surface of the wall, who knows she found a secret path just like the one Qiandra had done earlier.

"Yuhhh... What'sthis?"

The sticky and slimy thing twitched between his fingers.

"Gyaaaahhhh...!!! It's worms!!!"

One more fact is known to Rania. The moist wall surface was filled with tens or even hundreds of worms that lay freely.

"The qiandra!! Eject me! Qian!!"

...🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺...

Ttuuut...

"The number you're going to..."

"Arrghgh... Where's rania going, anyway? Come on dong, pick up the phone," cried Mikko annoyed.

Twenty more times, Mikko called Rania. But there is no answer. He then tried Qiandra's phone. Same result. No one responded to his phone.

His motorcycle was stuck in traffic near a red light. Ninety seconds until the lights change color back to green, it feels very valuable.

"Tuuute... Hello?"

"Hello... This who? Where's rania?" mikko.

The handsome teenager was able to breathe because finally Rania's phone could be contacted.

"This is Musliha, the kitchen maid. Miss Rania was walking with Miss Qiandra in the park. Miss Rania's HP was left in the dining room," replied Musliha.

"Ah, Musliha. It's Mikko. Please give my phone to Rania. Qiandra didn't pick up the phone either," Mikko asked. It just so happened that Mikko had known Musliha.

"Why?"

"There's nothing. Immediately I delivered the message," replied Musliha.

Tinn! Tinn!

"Dek, a piece of dong street. It's green anyway" exclaimed some riders.

"Duh! Yes-yes.." said Mikko.

There was not a five-minute walk yet, Mikko was again stuck in a traffic jam.

"Turn around, Mas. Severe jammed in front," exclaimed some riders.

"What's wrong, anyway?" ask Mikko.

"There's a bus on strike."

"Yes eelah... Why is there even a rush time?" mikko said annoyedly. He turned his motorcycle into an alternative road.

...🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺...

"Duh, where is it? As I remember it near here. I've seen it," murmured Qiandra looking around for something near the stairs.

Srek... Srek... Qiandra tried to pull some candle holders on the wall, but they clung tightly.

"Uh... I was wrong, anyway? Though I saw it clearly back then," Qiandra murmured again.

Accompanied by the dim light from the flashlight he was holding, Qiandra continued down the hallway under the secret stairs. He's looking for the trap-opening lever that snared Rania just now.

"Why is everything so messy gini, anyway? Though it's really hard to find the right time of the full moon with Rania staying here?" yelled, Qiandra was upset.

"When I wanted to show Rania, that creepy figure really existed. But a few times, the figure did not appear at all."

"I must be crazy, for coming back to this creepy, stuffy place, just to take Rania."

Qiandra kept nagging in her heart.

Nah! The teenager's back nudged a hard object.

"Ah, here it is. Moss green colored candle holder. This must be the opening lever of the trap," Qiandra murmured. He found the exact thing he saw in the picture of the house plan.

The truck... The truck...

Qiandra tried to turn the lever of the candle down. Real loud. But Qiandra did not give up. He continued to exert all his strength to turn the candle holder.

No matter his blistered and flushed palms, he continued to move them slowly.

Grac! Qiandra's efforts were not in vain. The iron bars that locked Rania open.

Without wasting any time, Qiandra ran to where they had split up earlier.

"Rania! Hold this rope. I'll pull you in," exclaimed Qiandra.

The teenager threw a boat rope that he found on top of one of the coffins.

"What other traps do you want to give me?" reply Rania with an annoyed face.

"Traps?" Qiandra thought for a moment. "Ah, it wasn't me who set you up there. I didn't even have time to say 'watch, be careful' to you earlier" Qiandra exclaimed.

Rania shifted her eyes.

"Hurry and hold this rope. Whether you want to get out of there or not" Qiandra exclaimed.

Although her heart was still filled with doubt, Rania had no other choice. He held on tight to that rope.

A few seconds later, the rope did not shift a millimeter.

"Berratt.." Inner Qiandra. He pulled the rope with all his might.

"Ah, stupid me. Rania's weight is almost the same as mine, how can I pull her out?" thought Qiandra. He then took off the rope.

"Lho, what?" Rania frowned in surprise, seeing the rope she was holding loose.

Suddenly...
