Chapter 151 - Chapter 79 Part 3 Trapped In a Book

The hunters appeared, but what exactly are they?... Will the Dark Umbrella encounter them?

(Wushhhh)

Unknown: "Hahhh….where am I…...ughh…"

Unknown Monster: "Rrrr.rrrrr….."

Unknown: "Aaarghhhhh…"

(Clap!)

Leonar: "He is dead…"

Carlos: "Your ability is really creepy….."

Leonar: "The Book of Imprisonment….or also called The Book of Endless Captivity…..A book that was once used for good purposes. Back then they wanted to give prisoners a second chance…..even if they had done truly brutal things....Hmph…...But then it became a kind of dark book….Oz took it and made it even darker…"

Carlos: "You have another book too?"

Leonar: "I have two more…..The Book of Beasts…and The Book of Abyss Artifacts...."

Carlos: "Hmmm."

Leonar: "Hmph…..but I can hardly wait to see your ability, dear Carlos."

Carlos: "Hehehehe…..Sooner or later I'll use it….Hmph…."

They kept walking.

Leonar: "Hmmm.."

Carlos: "Hmm...look...a wagon."

Leonar: "There are people inside...should we follow them?"

Carlos: "Hmm...why?"

Leonar: "Maybe they have valuable things...that emblem there of the Dark Umbrella….that is the emblem of the Dark Umbrella."

Carlos: "Ahhh...them....Hmph….don't really like them...although I have to admit the emblem looks damn cool...alright let's follow them.."

Leonar: "After you."

(Meanwhile)

Sophie: "Hmmm…"

Fiona: "So first we're going to the human city."

Ms Sonda: "Yes….according to the map here….it shouldn't take long."

Marcus: "I'm curious since when you've had that."

Lina: "Oh..it was inside the wagon….must belong to Lady Alice."

Sophie: "Mhm...Hmmm..looks...there it is….towards Funnypark.."

They kept driving and stopped after eight minutes.

Sophie: "Hmmm.."

Fiona: "We're here.:"

Lina: "Woow...now that I see it this close...and not from the air…"

Ms Sonda: "Really a…..beautiful huge city…"

(Dong…) (Dong)

(Rumbling)

Sophie: "Hmmm.."

Fiona: "It reminds me a lot of Weimarer.."

They got out.

Sophie: "….at least the Weimarer we knew. Now it's different after all because thanks to the black hole catastrophe we traveled almost 100 years back in time."

Ms Sonda: "Hmmm...There are several places marked on the map."

Ms Sonda looked at it carefully..

Fiona: "What is it Therressa?"

Sophie: "Did you find something?...Therressa?"

Ms Sonda: "You should rather call me Ms Sonda…"

Sophie: "...I think Therressa sounds better.."

Fiona: "I agree...why don't you like being called by your first name?"

Ms Sonda: "Mmm….hahhh…"

She kept staring at the map..

Marcus: "Hmm?..why are you staring like that?"

Ms Sonda: "The map…..the markings are moving."

Sophie: "Huh?"

Fiona: "Hmm."

Marcus: "Let me see."

They looked at it.

Sophie: "Ugh."

Fiona: "Indeed.."

Marcus: "They're moving from the wall...towards…..that building there….looks like a normal building."

Sophie: "Just a little bigger...Hmmm.."

They looked ahead.

Sophie: "Maybe that one?"

Fiona: "Hmmm…"

Ms Sonda: "No….something smaller...we should keep walking."

They continued.

Sophie: "Mmmmh…."

(Grrrrrr)

Sophie: "(Blushes)...sorry.."

Fiona: "That reminds me...we haven't eaten anything in a long time.."

Ms Sonda: "Yeah….that Alice didn't even give us food..."

Sophie: "Do you think our coins work...here?."

Fiona: "Hmmm...don't know..but it's a valid question."

Sophie: "Mm."

Marcus: "Let's just ask.:"

They walked to a place where food was sold…

Seller: "Hmm?"

Marcus: "Excuse me...do you accept these coins?"

Seller: "Hmmm?...No…..those are the coins from Neverland…..we use coins with the symbol of the witch's hat."

Sophie: "Hmm."

Marcus: "Hmm..I see.."

Ms Sonda: "Wait a second….."

She took out a box.

Ms Sonda: "This was inside the wagon."

She opened it and there were lots of coins inside.

Sophie: "Look at that."

Ms Sonda: "At least she's not greedy when it comes to money...Five of those sandwiches please..."

Seller: "Ohh..you mean these hahahaha..good choice young lady...they contain mushrooms, sauce, and fish pieces. For the smell we use a sauce we love here in Wonderland….butter curry spices."

Fiona: "Am I the only one who lost my appetite?"

Marcus: "I'm getting a heart attack from all this …...none of this fits together."

Ms Sonda: "Thank you we'll take that….Uhm...do you have something to drink?"

Seller: "Of course...hahaha...we have this here."

It was a purple colored drink.

Ms Sonda: "Mm."

Sophie: "(Sweats)….We ….asked for something to drink ...not poison."

Seller: "My dear friends...this here is very delicious ….it's cold….it contains lots of cherries and grapes and of course sweet water from our wonderful lake….the Lake of Purity.."

She bought it and gave everyone theirs.

Ms Sonda: "Here.."

Sophie: "Mmm."

Fiona: "(Sweats)…..if I die then because of ….whatever is in there."

Marcus: "Even a blind person would be scared of eating it after that description."

Ms Sonda: "Hahh...then I'll try it first."

(Sip)

Ms Sonda: "Hmm…...mmm....this….."

Sophie: "Huh?"

Fiona: "Should I call a doctor?"

Ms Sonda: "No..this….this is delicious....."

Marcus: "Hmm."

Lina: "...I'll try the drink….."

She drank it.

Lina: "Ahhhh…...this is so delicious."

Sophie: "Huh?"

Fiona: "That...thing?….it doesn't smell like anything."

Sophie: "Mmm."

They drank it.

Sophie: "Ughh….it's delicious."

Fiona: "Mmm…...yeah.."

Marcus: "Mmm...the sandwich is also damn delicious..what even is this.."

Lina: "The mushrooms...they're the reason...look at the mushrooms…"

Sophie: "Yeah..they're huge...but ….delicious."

Fiona: "Mhm."

Ms Sonda: "Interesting…..And something like this costs so little?...hmm….."

Lina: "Hmmm...good.."

They kept walking ..

Sophie: "Mmm...I still can't get over how delicious everything here is"

Lina: "Yeah."

Ms Sonda: "Hmm.."

Fiona: "Something wrong Sonda?."

Ms Sonda: "Please tell me I'm not the only one who's had the feeling for a while now that we're being followed.."

Fiona: "Ohh...and here I thought you just didn't like the food because to be honest..I barely noticed it. Although recently I had a strange feeling…"

Ms Sonda: "Hmm?"

Fiona: "I could swear I saw someone watching us….but I think I imagined it….he looked like...a mix between a clown...and a disturbing guy….which honestly fits together.."

Ms Sonda: "Were you afraid of clowns?"

Fiona: "Huh?...Uhm....no."

Ms Sonda: "Why did you hesitate so long?"

Fiona: "Uhm…..no idea."

Ms Sonda: "Hmm..suspicious."

Fiona: "And you're afraid of cats...so be quiet. How the hell can someone be afraid of something like that."

Ms Sonda: "They're creepy…..they meow and the moment you want to pet them…..they disappear. Then I never know what to do, pet them or leave them alone."

Sophie: "I can actually understand that….I once had a cat…."

Fiona: "Ohhh...you mean Garfield...where is he now?"

Sophie: "Oh..he's still around...my former colleague Mimi is taking care of him."

Fiona: "Mimi?...oh...the seeker?"

Sophie: "Yeah….exactly...the strongest seeker.."

Fiona: "I wouldn't say that..the last time we called someone the strongest crow ….they died the next day..One should ...never overestimate themselves or others...after all we're humans…who make mistakes."

Sophie: "Hmm."

Lina: "Hm...yeah..that can really be scary sometimes..one mistake...and life ….is over."

Ms Sonda: "What is this depressing atmosphere? Makes me want to jump out a window."

Sophie: "(Sweats)..don't exaggerate…"

Ms Sonda: "By the way….we really are being watched."

Fiona: "And how do you know that?"

Ms Sonda: "...(Sweats)…...that clown over there."

Fiona: "Huh?."

She turned around.

Sophie: "(Sweats)….I..just saw something too."

Fiona: "Ghhh...a clown."

Sophie: "You really are afraid of clowns..you weren't afraid before.."

Fiona has been afraid of clowns ever since one almost killed her and murdered several people right in front of her….

Sophie: "Hmmm."

Fiona: "I'm not afraid..I'd rather say…..they get on my nerves."

Ms Sonda: "Hmm..I wonder if he's alone?."

Sophie: "Think he'll follow us to the house?"

Ms Sonda: "Stay alert.."

Fiona: "Hmm...I recommend listening to Sonda. When it comes to being a leader she's better than most of the Dark Umbrella….she once even led an entire operation. There were barely any casualties….even though it was a huge attack by Nemesis…..that's why some people call her Lady Brain."

Sophie: "What kind of name is that."

Fiona: "Yeah...I don't think she likes it."

Ms Sonda: "No….it sounds like I have a huge forehead."

Fiona: "(Sweats)..Uhm."

Sophie: "But you do have one."

Ms Sonda: "Huh..what was that."

Sophie: "Nothing."

Ms Sonda: "Mmm..ok."

Sophie: "Well you have one too Fiona."

Fiona: "You're seriously getting on my nerves….you shouldn't talk at all...your shoes are so tiny people think you still wear school shoes."

Sophie: "Ughh….my foot size is 37.."

Fiona: "No way..mine is 38"

Sophie: "Hmm..show me."

Fiona: "Hmm.."

Sophie: "...hmmm...yours is ….actually the same size as mine..you have size 37 too smartass."

Fiona: "Nope….wait mine is even ...smaller….you've grown so much….well..only down there."

Sophie: "Huh?…."

Fiona: "(Cough)...nothing.."

Ms Sonda: "You two..do you always do this during missions? Then please stop while I'm around…"

Fiona: "Ok...boss."

Sophie: "Aye..aye."

Ms Sonda: "There we are…"

It was a huge building.

Sophie: "Ok...but..what...exactly are we supposed to do...Raven isn't in there right?"

Fiona: "If he is...then he's seriously suicidal being in the biggest city and one of the largest buildings too."

Ms Sonda: "No...I think...this is something we need...maybe information..."

She opened the door..

Ms Sonda: "Hm."

Fiona: "Hmm?...it's empty."

Ms Sonda: "Strange…"

They walked inside.

Ms Sonda: "Hmmm….really strange."

Fiona: "Yeah...it's strange...(Cough)…..so much dust too."

Sophie: "Mmm...you'd get lung cancer from this."

Marcus: "Why do you always exaggerate...Hmm?"

(Splach)

Marcus: "..blood.."

Fiona: "Hmm?"

(Splach)

A drop fell on Sophie's and Fiona's noses.

Sophie: "Huh?"

Lina: "Huh?"

Fiona: "Blood from above…"

They looked upward.

Ms Sonda: "Ugh."

Fiona: "Mmm..what ...happened here.."

Sophie: "So many?."

Several people were hanging there dead..

Sophie: "Was it Alice."

Fiona: "But why would she want to show us this."

Ms Sonda: "No….I think these people had information about Raven….but Raven killed them before they could talk..look the blood is incredibly fresh..it hasn't even been an hour."

Fiona: "Yeah...it really is fresh."

Sophie: "You can even smell how fresh it is….this couldn't have happened more than thirty minutes ago."

Fiona: "Hmm."

Lina: "But who could do this?...I mean..that's five people."

Ms Sonda: "This is getting more dangerous."

Fiona: "Mhm."

Sophie: "We need to be careful."

(Shshhhh)

Sophie: "Huh?"

Something emerged from their shadows.

Ms Sonda: "Ugh."

Fiona: "Ughh...Sophie!"

Sophie: "Huh!"

(Slicing)

Sophie: "Ghh."

She fell down but dodged at the last second.

Shadow Creature: "Aaaaaaaaarghhhh. ."

Ms Sonda: "Mmm."
