Chapter 28: Chapter 28

DECODE ME!

[XIAN]

We are still here in the living room. I am still restless because a few hours have passed and we are still here busy with the last CHALLENGE. I can only really see that man, he will be erased from the face of the earth immediately.

“Are you okay, dude? Just calm down first. We are here to help you. You can press that blue button so that we know the REAL CHALLENGE, ”said Shawn.

“I just can't be bothered, dude. You know, don't you? Hays. But thank you? This is what I pressed. ” it's a serious response while the aura is really unpaintable.

We have already seen what he has prepared on the screen. Letters and words, numbers, and even symbols come up that I don't know what the meanings are unless you really think and understand.

Because Mr. Klein is in good condition, the case has been closed because it was found that everything happened by accident. We decided to take him to the hospital first so that he would be better. But everyone has been careful and of course, we have now paid attention to what we have to do, to answer Maskib's Challenges.

When I press that blue button the WELCOME comes out there! Then strange numbers, letters, and symbols came out.

Instruction: From the first, to the first four numbers you must decode. Those underlines and spacing are where you put your answer and that's also one of the clues so you know how many letters and words you need. Be watchful and observe! Time is gold. Enjoy!

And what is written here is this;

I was almost quick to repeat the reading. Shawn and I were both really looking at that so we could really understand but it was too weird and really took time.

"What? I'm not I don't get it. Too many words, letters and symbols pre, ”said Shawn.

“Yes pre, but I think its time is limited. Did you understand the first post? That sounds like a warning. ” I said in surprise while he was also staring at the tablet screen. We’re really trying to figure out how to do it.

Shawn frowned and went on one by one. “Familiar before eh. Wait, let's try to get rid of what shouldn't be. ” its suggestion. While the police were guarding the outside we were already doing everything we could. I noticed that each word seemed to have G words per vowels. I tried to remove that first.

Are you ready? I'm giving you 5 minutes. Starts now! This is exactly the answer I got. At the same time as I was decoding it was the beginning of time. It started 5:00 down and down. I was almost winded because we were really on time.

“Sh*t pre! His speed, on the other hand. We're starting the clock right away, but at first we haven't been able to decode it. ” disappointed Shawn.

“We really need to focus, pre. We need to try before 5 mins we're done. ” my serious answer to Shawn.

As time goes on we are quick to think. Because based on the first number he entered is 8 letters, it is based on the underlined he intended for answering. I struggled to think about what Shawn and I had learned before. It's like we're answering a math problem that's hard to solve, and hard to do the solution.

It's been almost 40 seconds for us to eat up our time. Until I noticed that he seems to be related to DNA because it has this letter, about three. I tried to do that I took my cellphone and there I just typed the answer I could think of until I came up with the answer I HATE YOU.

“I hate you, pre!” I shouted.

“H-ha? You don't want to s-me pre? Why? ” Shawn asked me.

“Not before! I mean the answer is I hate you. He used DNA CODE. ” when I was clear about what I was saying to her.

Before he spoke I just tried to put my answer because time was wasted because it was only 4 mins and 35 seconds.

And before the time ran out we were right. I was happy to see that 'You are correct!' on the tablet screen.

We proceeded immediately to #2 so that the time would not be wasted because it was only 5 minutes.

I immediately noticed that only pure words are written and when you read him in vertical form you will form something. I tried that first, I didn't base it on the underlined answer provided.

The word I formed was ENEMY OF YOURS and 12 letters in all. I didn't make a mistake because it matched the answer provided, although the important thing is that I have already thought of an answer. I put that on right away and yes, I was right.

You are correct! The tablet screen flashed again.

“Ow, he used a null cipher before. Your speed, don! You seem to really remember everything we learned, right? ” Shawn said in amazement. I smiled at his compliment. I don't know, my brain just really agrees now.

Before the two of us could talk, we proceeded immediately

third number. I read it twice because I was wondering if it was Acrostic or not?

“What is this? Is that just a misspelling pre? ” I said to Shawn. He looked at her and wondered as well. Strangely enough it is not an Acrostic Cipher.

"Let's try to correct the misspelled words, let's just speed up Xian because it's only 3 mins and 20 seconds," Shawn told me. I nodded and made his suggestion.

I did so and when we corrected it we took each letter and I tried to build the ones that were there. And when I did and of course with Shawn's help, we formed like this;

I am Maskib. Your siblings Elle is in my room, she is in the 8th-floor building in Marina Hotel.

The third answer disappears from the screen and You are correct! Signs that Shawn and I are right.

I can almost stand what I find out. "Shit! It's so far from us! Wtf!" annoyed I said. I can't help being sarcastic because the Marina Hotel is so far from Elle's house. How and why?

Before I say anything else, I type the answer first because there are only 2 minutes left. I need to answer the last one. He used Wrong Letter Cipher. I remember this because he would use the wrong letter at first but it should sound like that word.

Shawn and I easily understood the last number. This is #4. He used brackets. I try to remember them because I'm not that small yet but I'm sure he uses brackets code based on the symbols on the tablet screen.

“Pre? Do you still remember the brackets code? I feel like that's the last one. ” I wonder here. He thought and tried to remember. And while he was thinking I watched it first until Shawn was typing on his phone.

I looked at it first and as he formed I put the answer as well, and what he formed was; Faster! Your time is limit.

Exactly 1 minute later, Shawn and I finished. Maskib suddenly blacked out and came out again. The man in a red mask seemed to automatically flash the screen.

“Hi! What a great job Xian with your partner Shawn ha? It looks like the ones I posted are just basic to you. How nice ?! I don't want to praise you too much when your head is big. You need to come here at 2 pm sharp. Just follow my instructions and you will know the way to it. Hurry up, Xian! Good bye! ” long detailing it. The video is already dead.

I almost broke the tablet I was holding but I couldn't because it was 1:00 pm. I have 1 hour left to prepare myself.

“I can only really see that. I killed him! That Maskib is already full! ” I shouted.

“Chill bro. It is important that we have already answered. We should be hurry because it might still be a fun time. ” said Shawn. It's good that my bestfriend is here. He is really awesome and really reliable. It's good that Vince is here at home to take care of and be with Thea. We need to act.

We have already prepared and before we leave, I make it sure that everything is gonna be okay. I know they can do their job well — The bodyguards and maids. I also kept an eye on them with the rest of the cops here at home. I know it is too much but I'm doing this for them.

"What's your plan, dude?" he asked. I thought a little first. It's only 2:10 pm and I'm still waiting for Maskib's message with the address.

“We need to go. I'm just waiting for the address. ” I said. Until suddenly a message popped up on the screen of the tablet.

"There you go dude!" Shawn said cheerfully. I hit that right away and there was the detail of where the Marina Hotel.

Details: 066, 8th-floor building Marina Hotel.

In-room 164. The door is color red. Only you and Shawn will be here at exactly 2 pm Hurry up, Elle is waiting.

From: Maskib

Shawn and I acted quickly. He was the one who drove and fortunately after Maskib sent the detail, it automatically appeared on the tablet's screen

map. The map that appeared was Shawn and I's guide. I don't want to trust but I have no choice because the Marina Hotel is not familiar to me.

I forced myself to calm down because I needed to be prepared and able to think. Our first direction was straight, right and left this is what Shawn did driving. We also took about 30 minutes to drive until we arrived.

The Marina Hotel building is tall. If you look, it seems that the rich stayed here. Just wondering why it seems so social? I still expected it to be a secluded place or maybe an old house.

“Elle's kidnapper is weird, isn't it? Rich, ”Shawn said while laughing a little.

“Yeah dude! It's weird but we have to be careful. ” I said. Shawn and I were about to get out of the car but suddenly the tablet turned on and a video came out.

“Hi! I know you have reached my Morina Hotel. Hurry up, maybe when you arrive Elle will be unconscious. ” said the man wearing the mask and still laughing.

“F*ck! Let's go Shawn, ”I said and he parked the car quickly.

He got my point right away. We only have 15 minutes more to find the 8th floor. We are looking for that quickly. We immediately used the elevator to get to our destination quickly.

The elevator door also opened and we tried to find the room indicated by what Maskib had left.

Surprising because nobody really just Shawn and I are here. The surroundings are clean and tidy because we are at the Morina Hotel.

"We're only 7 minutes more Xian," Shawn said as we continued walking and looking for room 164 whose door was red. Until we also see the red door.

"Bro here it is!" Shawn shouted.

I quickly opened the said door but I could not open it because it was locked and needed a key.

“Sh*t! Don't have the key? Where is that! ” I said annoyed and we tried to find where we could hide. Until I saw a doormat and it said HERE. I tried to look at that and so many keys popped up in front of me.

“What the heck! What is this? The quantity, on the other hand. We have 3 minutes more Xian, ”said Shawn.

“We have no choice. Let's just go through it one by one. ” my suggestion. We hold almost 10 keys. We went one by one until we opened the last key.

As soon as we opened the door, Shawn and I fell into nowhere.
