DEAPECTRUMS
033. A PLAN

For almost a month we escaped from the colleges of Gyeld Enn Chourius and Poegriye Island. It has been twenty-three days. During that time we stayed in Pond Jae with the money we got from stealing.

We stole the rich people who were in Deapectrum, and they were not exiles but people from a free country who specifically came to Deapectrum to open a business in this place.

We decided to leave Pond Jae because we felt uncomfortable enough to stay in the same place for too long. The people in the college at the moment must be looking for us, therefore we must move immediately so as not to leave a trace.

Actually I was reluctant to get out of Pond Jae because by staying there I could definitely meet the boy. But after the party left Deapectrum, they did not return.

“Now where are we going?” Cleve asked in the middle of the journey.

“We have to find a place to stay,” said Ian.

“We'd better find some clothes,”. “But I haven't seen any clothing store in Deapectrum.”

“Clothes?” Cleve looked at me. “Alright, now is the time we go shopping.” Cleve looked at me and smiled so that I knew what the word shopping meant.

“Shopping? Where will we shop?” Ian asked confusedly.

“Come come with us!” Shouted Cleve started walking.

When I heard the word shopping I thought of was a treasure hole. In that place there are usually objects that are still good because they are also deliberately thrown into this place with weapons taken by the Gyeld Enn Chourius college.

It was still nine in the morning while the people from the college would come to the treasure pit to pick up the weapons that were thrown out in the middle of the night.

Then there's still plenty of time to be in the treasure hole. And again the treasure hole is not currently in the care of because usually only recent graduates who keep the treasure hole, while the final exam will be held in another month. Then we won't have to worry while in the treasure pit.

We won't be there long, anything else until midnight. We just picked up some clothes for us and something we thought was important, after which we went to find a place to stay before nightfall.

We passed through the rocky area and entered the arid forest where the treasure hole was located.

When I got near the treasure pit, I came back to my mind eight years ago when I was looking for a cure for Jatnera and when I was training with Gumi nearby.

The treasure hole remained unchanged. A broken iron fence still stands around it even though almost all parts of it have been damaged so that anyone can enter at will into the treasure hole.

There was no one when we arrived, not even a security guard. It must be all because the treasure hole is in the middle of the forest so it is not guarded. Then surely the herd of criminals are in this place.

“So this is called the treasure hole?” Ian looked at the treasure hole.

“You two see this!” Shouted Cleve who had entered into the iron fence.

Ian and I went up to him and saw some blood.

“We'd better be careful because it looks like a lot of herds of criminals near here.”

“Then let me keep watch and you guys please shop,” Ian said as he walked out the iron fence with two pistols in his hand.

Together with Cleve I continued to search for whatever we needed in the treasure pit. Some of the clothes that look still decent for us to wear and medicine.

I realized that the things in the treasure hole were not as much as they used to be. Either because they were taken by people who came before us, or because there was a ban on sending things to the Deapectrum.

“You two hurry up, we still have to find an inn close to this place. Don't you want if we spend the night in the forest?!” Ian exclaimed who was pacing outside the iron fence.

“It looks like we have a guest,” said Ian.

What Ian meant was some crooks who appeared carrying sharp weapons. They were about six people with huge bodies and extremely terrifying faces.

“You two don't have to worry, keep shopping!" Ian shouted at both of us.

“Give us money then we will let you take things as you like!” Shouted a fat criminal with a long beard. The criminal was carrying a very large axe. “You heard right? We know you have money. Give it to us now!”

“Yang's right,” murmured Ian.

Hearing that villain made me realize that money is changing Deapectrum right now. In the past, criminals never asked for money because money is not needed in this country.

Criminals will instantly kill anyone who picks up items in the treasure hole. But now it seems that money is the thing they want most.

“I only took ten seconds for all this,” said Ian glanced at me and Cleve. “Cleve, start counting now.”

Cleve started counting, while Ian pulled out the gun he had hidden behind the shirt. The criminals looked surprised to see Ian's pistol.

The criminals try to escape for fear of seeing the gun that Ian carries. Ian mercilessly pulled the trigger six times and thrust bullets into the heads of the criminals. I looked away and chose not to see it.

“What's right, I guess you'll finish them off empty-handed,” oceh Cleve while walking out the treasure hole with some of the things he managed to find. “Then I can finish it with five seconds.”

“But you don't see, I shot right in their head,” said Ian did not want to lose. “You don't see, they all ran but I managed to shoot at my target.”

“We better not use a gun for this kind of thing,” I said walking out the treasure hole and approaching Cleve and Ian. “We don't have many bullets so we only use firearms if things are really precarious.”

“It's true. I agree with you, Bee.” Cleve held my shoulder.

“Iya I understand,” replied Ian looking at me. “Then let's go from here.”

“No.” My words made Ian's steps stop. “We have to clean up these bodies. Killing in Deapectrum is indeed commonplace but no one lets a dead body lie just like that here, even if it's a criminal.” continued me while dragging one of the bodies closer to the other corpse. “And again if we leave it alone, the college people who come to pick up weapons later tonight will surely know that we killed them because criminals here rarely use firearms. The gun and bullet were from college. So surely they'll know we're here.”

“So we have to burn them?” Ask Ian.

“It's true. Already do not talk much quickly help us to quickly finish!” Excited Cleve who helped me collect the bodies.

“Iya, alright,” replied Ian reluctantly. “But these weapons we can use?” Ian took the axe from the criminals. “I have an idea.” Her smile.

We were looking for an inn that was cheap and close to the treasure hole just like Ian wanted. Ian got an idea to make money without stealing anymore.

Ian just had me and Cleve follow his wishes without asking because he would take care of everything, and he promised to tell us about his idea if everything went his way.

When night fell Ian went out of the inn doing nothing and went home when the sun was almost up. Cleve and I didn't want to ask because we wanted to believe it.

“Today we go to the treasure hole again.” Ian told me and Cleve.

Hearing him made me think of what Ian was planning to do. He hadn't told us at all so it made me very curious.
