Discussion

"So, Clyde, what did that lunatic tell you when he teleported you back in time ?" said Mallory as she sipped the coffee Clyde has served her.

"The same thing again, but he looked really disappointed. " said Clyde. " His facial expression is really weird, it's like a hunter waiting for their prey to fall onto their trap. "

"Goddamn, what should we do know ? We can't die like this again. We need to somehow outsmart him. " said Gedeon as he took a bite of a cookie.

"I've been thinking about this..." said Rhydian with a doubtful expression.

"What is it ? Tell us, it might be a lead. We have to collect every lead we found to stop that lunatic. " said Clyde as he adjusted his shirt.

"What if we just avoid our causes of death ? Maybe that's what he wanted. But, that's a low chance....." said Rhydian.

The silence has never been so loud. The quartet didn't even think of this other than Rhydian. Theories slipping into their minds as they breath.

"Why are you guys so tense ? Its just a possibility, judging the fact that he kills people for fun, my theory is lowkey ridiculous..." said Rhydian as she flipped her hair.

"You're right... By the way, It's 4 hours until that lunatic send us the notification, what should we do ?" said Mallory as she checked the time on her phone.

"Should we convince our parents to go home ? But judging our parents' reaction after we tried to convince them to stay home.... " said the Myst siblings in unison.

"The two of you are really in sync, regarding our parents, let's just hope that they would be safe.. Right ??" said Clyde with a gloomy expression.

"Eves, you're too optimistic." said Gedeon. "We all know our parents' fate, we couldn't stop them, because that goddamn lunatic interfered with our destiny, he's like the system. "

"Hey now, Gedeon ! Don't be that insensitive, not all people have a strong depression resistance to a loved one's death like you.... " said Rhydian as she smacked her brother's head.

"Hey, that hurts !" said Gedeon .

"The two of you, oh my god, you guys are the oldest, yet you act like a bratty kid. " sighed Mallory.

"Alright now.... Should we prepare ourselves again for the 25th time, dear comrades ?" said Clyde as he straightened his shirt.

"That was so corny ! But fine, let's go, folks " said Rhydian as she gets up from her seat.

The quartet then go to a nearby shop for weapons and self-defense kit. The walk was peaceful, but deep down, they know they could never have a walk so peaceful like this again.

As they walked in on the shop, the owner greets them with a huge smile.

"Hello, our treasured customers ! How could this humble shop help you with your needs ?" said the owner as he wipes his crooked glasses.

"Do you have weapons and some self defense kit, Mister ? said Mallory politely.

"Of course, but may I ask why do you need them ?" said the shop owner as he checked the shop for the quartet's needs.

" Oh, we're going hunting ! Since there's nothing exciting that occurred these days... Hahaha, might as well collect some hunting experience. " said Clyde.

The quartet knew that Clyde's ability to make up an excuse on the spot is amazing, but they would never have expected that he could make up an excuse this fast.

"How good is it to be young. The total is $70" said the store owner as he handed the quartet their needs.

"Thank you, Sir ! Here you go !" said Rhydian as she paid for their needs.

As they walked out of the shop. Their cellphone rang. As they checked their phone. A familiar notification was seen.

"Greetings, for the next 24 hours, every single thing in the world shall be free of charge, Enjoy. "

Before they knew, it started earlier.The notification that haunts them.
