TRAPPED IN THE NOVEL WORLD
Chapter 280. Discovering Origami

[System cannot provide specific information on Zero's whereabouts. Now Zero is in the forest in safety.]

Aluna had guessed, the system was always stingy to provide information. However, Aluna was relieved that Zero was in a safe state.

"Zero is in a protected forest next to the harbor. Even though the Zero system is safe, we should at least keep looking for it now" Aluna said.

"Thank God! Can I also talk to your system?"

Aluna looked at Alvin. He thinks Alvin's talk is off topic. "Now is not the time to joke, Alvin."

"Alright, we'll talk later after this," Alvin said as he held Aluna's hand. He was not joking, wanting to ask more questions about the system. Most of all, he wanted to ask if it was true that he was a virtual figure created by a writer. As Aluna said.

At the hospital, Alma's grandmother has passed away. Although her blood pressure had started to drop, Granny Alma had not been able to calm down because Zero had not been found yet. Plus Lily and Yuze disappeared with no news at all, making Granny Alma unable to sleep well.

"Grandmother," called her mother Lily, helped by Clara and her husband she kept Alma's grandmother in the hospital.

"You, where is your son now? Why is there no news? You guys have been educating wrong!" said Grandma Alma snapping.

Clara who was beside him immediately calmed down. Swab the woman's back to be patient so that her high blood doesn't rise again.

"Grandma, maybe Lily and Yuze are out of battery on her phone. Just wait until midnight. I'm sure they'll be back" said Lily's mother.

"It's impossible that both of them ran out of battery. In the car there's no way they're not charging the phone. I'm sure Lily and Yuze have long had malicious intentions to drive my granddaughter out of this house" Clara said, "if something happens to my granddaughter. I won't forgive you."

"Sister-in-law, don't be so prejudiced. Wait till they come."

Grandma Alma showed an expression of her anger. Not only to Lily and Yuze, but also to his two parents as well.

"I'll kick them out if I don't bring Zero home. Not only did he throw it away, he would even imprison the two of them!"

In the laboratory, Noah looks like a daze thinking about the incident the other day while with Lisa. He kept thinking until his body looked thin from not eating for two days. Noah can't believe that he's made Lisa lose her chastity.

"I'm not sure I did it."

Every time he was drunk, all Noah did was sleep. Let alone to do pervert, to stand alone his feet are not able to support. Noah believes it might just be Lisa's wits. And again the blood on the bedsheet, she sure doesn't belong to Lisa. But artificial blood, because Noah had heard from other men that Lisa often bergonta-pair.

"Why am I being such a moron that night?" said Noah while daydreaming.

While he was grumbling, another co-worker patted him on the shoulder. Noah was told that his phone was left behind and a lot of calls came in.

"Aluna and Alvin called me earlier. Whahuh? Zero kidnapped?"

Noah looked shocked after reading a message from Alvin. Noah also just remembered that he had not informed Aluna about the results of fingerprints found on the knife.

"It looks like I should help them find Zero. I also want to tell Luna about the results," Noah said while packing things due to his working hours

it's over.

"Uncle, you're finally home too. I've been waiting for you here since, " said Lisa grabbing Noah's arm while leaning her head against Noah's shoulder.

"Lisa, release! I'm still at work!"

Lisa did not want to let go, even more tightened her embrace in Noah's arm. "I don't care. After all, the office was deserted, there were only the two of us. I miss you so much, Uncle."

Lisa tries to tease Noah by stroking his chest. But continued to be pushed aside by Noah because of the gap.

"Stop getting close let alone teasing me, Lisa. We don't have a special relationship" Noah said.

"What's? Not having a special relationship? Don't you remember that night, Uncle?"

Noah was grieving, according to him Lisa had no self-esteem at all. She knows that women will regret or cry after the crown is gone before marriage. It is different with Lisa. He even continued to tease her as if proud that her purity was lost taken by her.

"If it were true that night that we did, would you not feel sorry for giving it to me? You're so cheap, Lisa!"

Instead of being angry, Lisa was getting closer to Noah. He said he didn't regret it as long as Noah wanted to take responsibility.

"Here you go, I'd better take you home. Because after this I need to."

Lisa agreed. She wants to take Noah to her house and introduce him as her future husband. He didn't care if his parents disagreed.

The Sindi family did not remain silent. They were already in the car on the way to the port. Fortunately, the distance from the port is not too far from the hotel he rented. So they can get there faster.

"Where did you know Zero was in port, Sindi?" ask Sinta to her son.

"From the message he sent, Mama. There were some letters that he turned into numbers. Zero once told me that one day he was in danger, would send a message like that to me," Sindi replied while showing the message Zero sent.

"You guys are so smart."

Sinta just understood now. Sindi and Zero, not only close emotionally and emotionally, but have prepared carefully if there is something dangerous like now.

A few minutes passed, their car had already reached the port. But before getting inside, Sindi suddenly got out of the car and stopped her steps. He saw something from the car. A rainbow colored paper in the shape of a stork. Sindi just remembered Zero's message. If he had made the seven storks he would have given him. And now the origami of the stork is on the street.

"Maybe this is what Zero meant" the six-year-old said quietly as he observed the crane's origami.

"Sindi why are you quiet? Let's get into the harbor" Sindi's father said, asking her to get in the car again.

"Wait, Dad. I found something."

Not according to him, Sindi was silent. Away from his eyes, he saw a paper that was the same as the one he was holding.

"Sindi, don't run," cried Sinta directly out of the car. Suddenly Sindi ran away from the port. Her mother and father chased her.

"Mama, I found the origami stork again. Zero said this stork to me, and will lead me to meet him. Zero is not in the harbor, but it is in the forest" Sindi said as her hand pointed.
