MYSTERIUM CLAVA (VOLUME 1) - PUBLISHED UNDER TBC PRINTERY

CHAPTER 7

HINDIko alam kung ano ang nakita ni Nzib na para bang natatakot siya. Thisis the first time that I saw or felt na nagpa-panic siya.

"What'swrong Nzib?!"natatarantang tanong ni Craige na naririnig ko sa aking earpiece.Nabalot nang katahimikan ang buong paligid. Walang ingay na akala moay biglang tumigil ang oras dahil sa sobrang katahimikan na paligid.

"Sa tinginko, tama si Dave. Nasa disc! May device na naka-attach sa disc. But,that is just the appetizer."seryoso ngunit ramdam at rinig ang panginginig sa boses niya.

"What do youmean by it is just an appetizer? Don't tell me that there are more?"nag-aalalang tanong ni Toby.

"You hit themark, bookworm. The device na nakalagay sa disc ay ang main bomb andit is a possibility na ang nade-detect ng ating system ay ang maincourse. Wherein, na kapag sumabog na ang bomba ay posiblengmag-trigger at sumabog ang maliliit na bomba sa taas ng arena."pagpapaliwanag ni Nzib. Nakalungkot isipin na habang masayangnanonood ang mga tao rito sa loob ng arena, hindi nila naiisip nanasa panganib na ang kanilang mga buhay.

"Sh*t! Andwhen that happens, matatabunan tayo and it will be the end ofMysterium Clava and everyone na nasa loob ng arena,"conclusion ni Tetsuya.

"Only, if thathappens!" sigaw ko na ikinatahimik bilang lahat. "What's withthat statement Tetsu? We are Mysterium Clava! As if we will wait namangyari yun? We have to act now and prevent this disaster fromhappening. Talking and discussing things like this will just makethings worse. We have to act now!" sabi ko with conviction.

"Hmm... Andhow on Earth are we going to do? Kung nakapagsalita ka ay parangnapakadali lang nito,"naiinis na sabi ni Toby. Crap! I talked so carelessly. Paano nga ba?Biglang pumasok sa akin ang sinabi kanina ni Nzib. Wait! Tama siya.

"Nzib?! Can youtry getting into their system? We can at least disable the littlebombs up there? Is that possible?" tanong ko.

"I don'tknow but, I can try,"I can sense the hesitation on Nzib's voice.

"Hey? What'swith that tone Nzib? Remember, there is nothing that the master ofhacking can't hack!" I shouted to cheer her up. I just hope thatit will work. Please, it should.

"Right!There is nothing that Mysterium Clava can't do. What was I thinking?Para akong sira dito na kung ano-ano iniisip! Thank you, Dave, forreminding me who Nzib really is!"nabubuhayan niyang sabi. Pagkatapos niyang sabihin ang mga katagangiyon, bigla kong narinig ang pagtipa niya sa kaniyang laptop.

Kailangan namannamin maka-isip ng paraan para mapigilan namin ang nasa disc. Kapag na-realize ni L na kumikilos na si Nzib para i-deactivate angbomba, may chance na pasabugin niya na lang bigla ang bomba.Think, Dave! Think!

"We have tokeep everyone occupied. Kailangan makita ni L na busy tayo sapaghahanap ng bomba. Let's go and beat him in his own game,"Toby said.

"I presumethat he might activate or make the bomb explode once that the game isover. Or maybe, just maybe during the awarding ceremony,"seryosong sabi ni Craige.

"Atbukod pa dun, that is the time or the moment that L can catcheveryone off guard. At makukuha niya ang atensyon nang lahat. He isabout to deliver a very, very clear message to us and to the wholeHolmes Academy,"dugtong pa ni Ryn.

"He is nowabout to introduce his self or most likely this a very clear messagethat he, L, is the nightmare or the Omega of Holmes Academy,"dagdag pa uli ni Craige. Such an intense rivalry. This not just anyordinary rivalry. This is the clash of wits, deduction, strength,heart and passion. A game that L started. A game that nobody knowswhen will it end, or does it have an end?
