《Professional Killer's Death Was Temporarily Postponed》Chapter 10:Holiday's Decision
Advertisement
[11:00 A.M.,april 6,2031 in Unite of Armed and Forces Main Basement]
I finally settle things with Thinker,but this is not the conclusion I expected.
Right now,I have to make a my choice here.
Thinker said that there are some bomb around this place,though I don't know how many exactly or where it is exactly.
He said that this bombs is a test to see if I really have changed or not.
So you're telling if I will gonna stop the time bomb or not huh?.
What should I do here?.I could just escape here and and to live a normal life outside.Yes,I promise that I will never kill again but I didn't said that I will not save people.
Or,I could stop the time bomb and become a 'hero',just like in some fiction movies.
Should I choose to escape here,the most practical option or should I save these people here which is not really the usual things I do.
In the middle of my deep thoughts,someone spoke up:
"So what is your condition,Mr Holiday?."
I search up where it comes and I found out that the words come from Head Chief.
I thought that he was unconcious,but I guess the effects of that 'medicine' already fade out.
"Are you aware of the situation right now?"
"Yeah.You see,I'm already awake when you are fighting that man named 'Thinker'.I thought that you will the one who will finish him but it turns out that he killed himself."
So he already awake from the start.So he also finds out our conversation.
"We will all die here,you know?."
"Yes.But I guess this is someone who can stop this time bomb.You know what I mean right,Mr.Holiday?."
He's right.There is someone who can stop that.
Obviously,that's me.
"Did you really trust me,Head Chief?."
"I would be lying If I said I 100% trust you.But there is one thing I'm sure.That you will gonna SAVE us in this predicament."
Yeah,that's right.I have been thinking to escape here
and forget what happen here.But I will not do that.Since I have 'new goal' right now.

I walk towards to the Head Chief and started to inspect the time bomb around his body.I look to the time.We still have 5 minutes left.
"I actually to help you earlier with you fight,but that Thinker probably also inject me a 'paralization' medicine so I couldn't move,until now.He also get all my weapons from me."
I pulled out that knife that was stuck in my shoulder to use this as a 'screwdrive'.But of course when I do that,blood started to flow in my arms.
"You have a small clipper,Head Chief?."
"Wait,I think I have one here."
He searched up to his pocket and he found one.He give it to me since I will gonna use to stope this time bomb.
I think it's been 4 years since the last I do this.I'm still remember how to stop a time bomb,but it is still depends on the built to of it.
I used the knife to release the screws in the 'clock'.Luckily,the tip of it exactly fits with the screws.
When I opened the 'clock',I was shocked on what I saw.
"What the hell..."
There are so many wires inside.And all of them are jumbled.I observed how many wires is nneeded to cut to stop this.One,two....five.Five wires.I needed to cut those and we will be safe.
The problem here is that the wires are really jumbled.I couldn't really tell where it was connected.Another problem is that we only have 4 minutes left.I need to act now.
First,I observed the wires,and it really connected.I focus.Then after some thought,I tried to cut one.
I slowly cut a 'blue wire'.Nothing happens.However,I noticed that the time immediately turn down to 3 minutes and 30 seconds.
"So that's how it is."
I found out that if you cut a wrong wire,it will not explode immediately.Instead,it will just reduced that time.Still,that was very risky move.
6-7 more wrong wires to cut and we will be done here.
While in the middle of my operation.Someone spoke up.

"What in the world is happening here?"
I don't need to turn my head to see who is it.From the voice itself,I can already tell that it was George.So he already recover from unconciousness.
"Mr.Holiday is trying to stop this time bomb curl up in my body.If he failed,we all die here."
"Whaaat!?"
George was surprised when the Head Chief said that.Meanwhile,I manage to cut one wire without affecting the time on the clock.4 wires and 3 minutes left.
"Not only that,there are some bombs that was planted around this place.If I failed to this time bomb,that will also explode."
I added with that statement.Again,I managed to cut one more wire safely.3 wires and 2 minutes and 50 seconds left.
"Did you perhaps know how to stop a time bomb,George?."
I asked George,hoping that he can.
"No.My specialty is knives and guns.Stopping a time bomb or any kind of bomb is not my thing."
"Also,fist fight."
I added that.George was kinda surprised when I said that.Probably he remember how he lose to Thinker earlier.
While we are talking,someone had arrived to where we was.
"Head Chief,why there are bombs around your body?And why that 'prisoner's is here,trying to.....wait, is that a time bomb?And that killer is trying to stop it. "
"Yeah you're right,Johnson.But first,don't panic.And why you arrived here late?."
"I'm sorry my late coming,but I needed first to defeat those 'masked' man first.Also I would like to say that I saw some of them putting some bombs in some places around this basement.Could those bombs probably connected to that?."
"Yeah.For now,please be quite and trust Mr.Holiday skills."
"Could you really stop it,Criminal?."
"I will do my best,but please be quite for a while now."
After saying that,I cut two wires.One wire is safe,nut the other one turn down the clock by 30 seconds.So 2 wires and 1 minute and 30 seconds.
Meanwhile,Johnnson spoke up.
"If I know how to stop it,you don't need to rely with criminal."
"Please Mr.Johnson,please shut your mouth for a while now."
George said that to Johnson.Right,I need to focus here.Our lives is in the line here.
I cut again a wire.Luckily,it was a 'safe' one.So 1 more wire and 1 minute and 10 seconds left.
For the one who made this bomb,props to you.You are giving me a headache right now.
Since it I only have 1 minute left,I observed carefully the wires.If I cut 2 wrong wires,we will all die here.
Meanwhile,George,Johnson and Head Chief are just looking at me.They are probably hoping that I would succeed here.
Then I cut wire.Unfortunately,it was a wrong one.So the clock,which was at 50 seconds turn down to 20 seconds.
"Oi,oi,what the hell are you doing?Just cut the correct one!!."
"Calm down,Mr.Johnson."
Johnson burst out from the silence.I couldn't help,since in 20 seconds,we will know what fate we will facing.
Then the Head Chief spoke to me.
"Just cut a wire you think is safe,Mr.Holiday."
"Hmmmm."
I looked up again to wires.And I found out a blue.Earlier,when I cut a blue wire,it reduced the time in the clock.
But even with that,I think this will be a safe one.
There are 10 seconds remaining.I guess I have npo choice now but to go with this one.
I closed my eyes.Sweat is flowing in my face.Blood is flowing in my arms.
I moved the clippers.
Five,four,three.
I cut the wire.
"....."
So our fate to be alive huh?
The clock stopped at 2 seconds.No explosion happened.I short,no tragic ending happened.
George and Johnson heavily sighed.
Meanwhile,Head Chief spoke up to me.
"Didn't I tell you just cut a wire you think is safe."
"Hmmm.For starters how about called your emergency team to treat us already?."
