Chapter 26 - Chapter 26: Radical Countermeasures.

The materialized "Hole" is incredibly dark, like a drop of black ink staining the purity of a white paper sheet.

Strangely, it is not possible to see what is inside the hollow passage, even when a source of light is right above said vertical tunnel.

{Shit!, How much time do we have before this thing starts to produce an unstoppable gush of that fog?!}

"Forget about going for more supplies, let's get back to the Karaoke"; The order of Dackör is followed by his Teammates, retreating to their previous location.

At the same time, Gashlean rises from the ground, reuniting with Dackör's group.

The short young man reaches the Karaoke, jumping at the entrance to grab and pull down the roller shutter door.

One of the three people currently present at the reception desk couldn't be more angry, shouting and complaining about Dackör's actions were detrimental for his business.

However, after closing the door, the short young man ignores the noisy blabbering, aiming his Pistol to the Man in the reception desk "Lock the entrance".

"No…"; Say the Man, sealing his destiny, as Dackör pulls the trigger of his weapon and blast his target.

The head of the former owner of the Karaoke is turned into a pool of blood that paints the wall behind, the pink stain confuses most people around.

Of course, Dulladnneand and Dackör are unperturbed by this fact "You, lock the entrance"; Demands the short young man, changing his target, aiming menacingly against a young lady with nerdy apparence who has a slightly chubby frame.

She trembles and shakes her head, it doesn't looks like a negative from her part, and she is trying to speak, but the fear of death is stronger than her, impeding her greatly, as she can barely stutter out some unintelligible phrases due to her terror.

The third person stands in front of the young lady, a young man who has yellow skin, lavender hair and red eyes "She doesn't have the keys to do it".

"And you?".

"I have them, but I need you to…"; Dackör interrupts the young man by throwing a kick to the reception desk, the Revetment of Nuvlierz Energy along his reinforced boots plus his physical strength, proves to be enough to shatter a part from the furniture made of solid wood.

"Do it, now… , and you…"; Say Dackör aiming his Pistol to the young lady "Bring tape and make sure that no air gets in through any of the grooves".

The young lady nods with hastiness, turning around and entering the back room of the reception, Likewise, the young man moves to the entrance to seal the locks.

"Hey, I haven't been able to connect to the internet for a while in the UVIP Lounge, Can you go and check it?"; The person speaking is a robust fit young man that Dackör recalls seeing during his time in the strange environment.

Said young man looks almost oblivious of the ongoing situation, this changes as he observes the pink stain on the wall "Wow!, that looks identical to the blood of that arrogant Alien!".

{He remembers!}

"First Place!, And Forth Place!, Do any of you remember me?!, My friend Layneth and Zedyar, who is the Guy she has to marry with, they don't remember what happened, neither Zyrellia, the muscular blonde!".

The silence of Dulladnne and Dackör is misinterpreted by the young man with dark eyes and short hair "Oh No!, No!, Don't tell me you two don't know anything about what I just said!".

At that moment, the chubby young lady returns from the back room, showing two thick tapes.

"I remember"; Says Dackör flatly "Assist me to isolate this area, we are in danger and if you know of another air vent that isn't filtered, it should be covered too".

"Understood First Place!, leave it to me!".

The enthusiastic young man takes one of the tapes and rapidly departs to do his work, similarly, the yellow young man seals the entrance.

Meanwhile, Dackör approachs the chubby young lady, instructing her to show him the location of all security cameras, because he has a clear idea in mind, destroying them.

{I don't know if the surveillance transmission can be intercepted by others, Still, whoever took over the Surveillance Room of the Mall, must be aware of the advantages of such strategic location, especially the capacity of monitoring the majority of the Mall}

Once there are no more active cameras in the establishment, Dackör proceeds to bashing harshly into the private Karaoke rooms, ordering and threatening all the people to go to the UVIP Lounge.

They obey, being in total about 45 people, all sitting on the sofas and chairs available in the chamber, or directly staying on the floor.

{Incredible, Zedyar really is here, Was he forced to come by his fiancée?, Or does he really care enough for her to come on his own accord to a noisy place like this?}

"For better or for worse, all of you are trapped here"; Says Dackör calmly, almost with unfazed contempt "And that will give you the chance to survive a little longer… , So shut up and don't make anything stupid".

The short young man give a feral stare as a warning to the people present in the UVIP Lounge "I don't care if anyone here is an Alien or not, But if you threaten the safety of my peaceful and libidinous life, I will purge you from Karmdaris, the same goes for the legitimate residents of this Planet".

{No changes in their behavior}

"Things will be easier if everyone can grasp their minds about our situation and be more cooperative… , So, I will start this relationship with something counterintuitive, Think on Myself, not me, obviously, I am talking about your own selfs in a metaphysical way".

Confusion is spread among the people, yet, some have surprised faces, which turns out to be contagious, as others start to see floating interfaces in front of their faces.

{Their reaction appear to be truthful, I don't think is doable, but it seems like there are only three people here who remember the strange environment}
