Chapter 31: Chapter 31
UNLOCKED ME FIRST, BEFORE YOU ENTER
[XIAN]
Even though I felt nervous, I was still encouraged. We have already reached the outside but have not yet come close to the truth. Since I still have Elle I don't know when she will wake up, I hope she will wake up later.
Please, Elle wakes up!"Where are we, Xian?" wondered its question.
I looked around and I knew we were on the fifth floor based on what I could see on the 5th floor above the wall."We're on the 5th floor," I answered quickly.
"How did you know?" he said. I didn't answer yet, instead even though I was having a hard time I just pointed to the 5th floor I saw written above.
He nodded and scratched his head. We were still walking and trying to find the exit. Why are we here? We didn't see an elevator.
We keep groping. But, I was more concerned with my work Elle. It hasn't woken up yet. I hope he's just really sleeping.
I can't really forgive you, Maskib! As Shawn and I walked that way Elle’s movement.
"K-Kuya?" she says weakly. "She!" I said happily so I calmed down and hugged him.
"Finally, Elle you're awake," Shawn said happily. I smiled a little as if I had forgotten my worries and our plan to get stuck in this pest hotel. "Where are we?" Elle asked. I'm taking him down because he's okay.
“Morina Hotel, Elle. How are you? What happened and you were in that room and you were unconscious? ” I asked here while looking at her.
“Someone’s brought me here. But what I remember is that I was in the garden 'non and after' non, I don't remember anything, ”he whispered.
“But I remembered a guy. In case I don't know his name. ” It adds.
I'm really out of breath because there's nothing else to do then. Only Maskib abducted him. “Sure, Elle. Let's talk later, we need to get out of here first, ”I promised.
"Sure brother." I also told him to hold on to my left arm because maybe later someone will take him again. I won’t let that happen. We walked again in the long space of this hotel. It seems like there is no end because we just walk. What kind of hotel is this?
I'm really disgusted because there seems to be no end. "Are you okay, Elle?" he asked my sister while we were still walking and looking for where we are now. "Yes, brother. I just remember what happened. The case is blank. Where are we now? ”
“Don’t even think about it, Elle. We need to get out of here first. ” I said softly. She nodded in agreement. I also noticed Shawn's excessive frown. “Hey, dude! You alright?" I call once pat on its shoulder.
"Y-yes men!" he stammered. "Are you sure?" I promise again.“ I'm just nervous, Xian. But let it be. Let's find the stairs first. ” he said.
I just nodded because even I was nervous. But it's important that my brother is with me. I just hope that before dark we can go home and I hope that Maskib shows up first so that I can at least get a crunchy one. We have passed almost ten rooms. What kind of hotel is this? Hunted Hotel? But he's not creepy, he's attractive, there's just no one. Until I noticed that we seemed to be close and Shawn shouted. He was the first to walk with Elle and me.
“X-Xian! We are close! ” Shawn shouted. My eyes almost lit up but just imagine, we looked at the red door. We saw the door with the black padlock. That was the exit but before that we had to open it. “Oh, my! What is this again? ” said Shawn.
The door has a chain and padlock whose color is black and it has a number on the side that we should know. Supposedly a password for us to stay away forever. I saw the bottom of the envelope. I took that. And inside that was paper and something was written.
Hi, Xian. I know you'll get to the exit but of course, it's not over yet. Have you got Elle yet? How is he? Let me tell you, I miss him. Enjoy the last trip. I hope that's the last. Keef safe, friend.

After I read the letter my blood almost boiled. Just now my sister woke up and she still doesn't remember how to say hello? A crazy ma! I was so annoyed that I crumpled his role.
I HATE HIM! DAMN!
“What, Xian? Why did you throw it away? ” Shawn asked. It's because I'm busy looking at the password on the chain.
“Just look dude, he is a damn coward. He is trying to make us in trouble and do this kind of mysterious stuff that he did, but he can't confront me! ” I said angry.
She just picked up the paper and read it while Elle just looked around.
“Yes, men! The thickness of this fool's face! ” It adds.
“Let's just focus on Shawn. Let's find out what the password is when we get away from the hotel he hunted, ”I said.
"Sure!" he replied and let go of his hold first.
Shawn and I were already staring at the door with the blockchain. The chain is medium size so it's not a hassle to look at the number on the side.
I looked behind me first, I just checked Elle because she might disappear again later. Especially since I can’t keep an eye on him.
I pulled him and pulled him aside next to me. “Elle, are you just here? Don't go away, will you? ” I say this seriously.
"Yes brother, I'm just here." she answered me seriously.
I nodded and smiled. I also turned my attention back to the padlock that needed a password. On the side of it, there are two or five columns supposedly by a partner. This is their position; 12345678910
We looked at the whole thing first. It's just a simple padlock with a password so it looks like nothing. But the pressure is because it is chained and really closed.
What could this mean? And why is the door red again? I was again filled with questions in my mind. It's a good thing that no time was given because otherwise, it would just add pressure. It's because he owns the clock.
But how do we know the password without any clue? That's amazing. I looked at my watch first and it was past four in the afternoon. "What Xian do you have a clue? I feel like when this chain of up to four numbers or more can be used as a password. Shawn's attitude.
I was taken aback by what he said. "Because I can't think of anything yet dude. We need to find any clue because it's hard like this, we're groping in emptiness." my suggestion. I turned to Elle and she was holding what looked like a black box.
“Bro, look there is something here. Check this one. Maybe it helps. I just saw it on the side, ”Elle said while pointing to where she saw it and taking the small box she was holding. I just picked it up and opened it. And I did see two pieces of paper there. I just frowned because I was feeling weird and I felt it would really help.
“Thank you, Elle, for these clues, ”I said and Shawn approached us. "What's that men?"
“These are the clues one for you and another one is mine. So that we can be fast and we can finish and know the answer. He nodded and took the paper I handed him. We have already started to find out the password. When I opened the paper, it almost immediately grabbed my attention. Those are just numbers. Jumble letters. And I also found inside the box the extra paper and 2 ballpens.
Is this another exam? I ignored that at first. I paid more attention to the paper I was holding. I read the sentence above first.
You should fix first the jumbled letters by the clues mine given.
RDOOTXENHETINMAI- JUMBLE LETTERS
CLUES Be ready! (1)See you! (2)6 words (3)
What it is?_ __ __ ___ ____ ____. This is the pattern. I'm not using any codes here just use this as your guidelines.
Be watchful and aware because I already give the answers. Maybe in this paper or the other one. Be wise and enjoy!
-Handsome Maskib
I almost never lost my eyes on the lines he gave to be our pattern.
Elle is also currently looking at me while Shawn is busy. We are one by one to do and we will finish immediately.
I noticed that there was a number but before I could be sure of that I needed to know what his Jumbled letters were.
I tried to understand and because of the clues in' 6 words, I try to look for every single letter. I get the paper included with the pen. I wrote there first and then I based his clues.
I just called Shawn so we could teamwork faster. “Hey, maybe you need paper and a ballpen? What is wrong with you Shawn? ” I asked here while he was still busy looking at the paper.
"Shawn!" I shouted because I didn't notice that he was too busy. “Sorry, yes I really need to. Can I have one? This is mine, Xian. ” he told me to hand over extra paper and ballpen at the same time. I looked at him too and he held it harder. “Do you have any idea, Shawn? It's harder for you to hold on. This is mine, check this maybe you know. I'll try that too, ”I said. It was like we were in the class that the project had done. I then remembered our high school life that we always give and take in this thing and never lose teamwork with each other.His content is pure numbers and symbols. I try to analyze but need to understand the given clues so we can connect with each other. This is the content of Shawn’s paper.
Are you tired? Please don't. You are already in the middle part of our game. Just decode the given provided and good luck!

(CLUES: There are 4 numbers, the 2 odd numbers, and 2 even numbers.)
2-1 =? 1x2 =? 6-3 =? 1x2 =? +4 =? ----> Answer this math equation so that you may know the password.
Good luck! -Handsome Maskib
I'm almost amazed at what we're being asked to do. But if the latter will be our basis, we will already know the answer. “Shawn, let's try the math equation first. It might be easier for us to know the password right away and what others mean. ” my suggestion here.
"Yes, it's okay, Xian," he answered. We did what I thought. We solved the math equation. We sum up the answers; 1, 2, 3, and 6. And I noticed it was already on my paper earlier. But before we put that in the chain we solved the other problems.
We tried to figure out the meaning of the Jumbled letters and we went through them one by one. I also noticed that each letter was out of order so Shawn and I were almost able to apt trial, Elle also helped with thinking.

I AM IN THE NEXT DOOR
The three of us were glad we got the answer right because it matched the provided lines. Then we tried to find out the last paper.
We base it on clues and we find out that it is only connected to the given answer. We just wondered what kind of codes that was. He's more on numbers and I noticed that he's just a partner.
I write on the paper the spelling of numbers. ONE, TWO, THREE, SIX
I showed that to Shawn and there we tried to figure out the codes. I remember that in Latin they start with 01 until the last number 26 in the alphabet.
I did write and I was not mistaken. “Shawn, it is the Latin code that was used. 'Didn't it start in 01 to 26?' I wondered.
"Yes, that's it!" It says happily. “Finally! Let's try to put the password on the padlock, ”I said.
Xian did what I said and I was right. The answer is 1,2,3,6, this is the password. The padlock has opened and we have long held the chain. The three of us entered at once. At the same time, a man I know spoke.
