Host, Please Be Honest! What Exactly Are You?

Chapter 529  Strange Call

A few minutes later, Hitchcoff was still staring at the duo, too dumbfounded by what he heard. There it is, that ridiculous story again. He has studied psychology and could tell that Harvey was telling the truth. Even Ashaku was secretly nodding to his fantasy tale. Could the duo truly believe what was coming out of their mouths? Are you sure you weren't too hit in the head by something? You said a being similar to a rotting human that was 3 times larger in size appeared like the wind, attacking you all from all directions? Why didn't he notice that Lieutenant Harvey had such an amazing imaginative mind from his resume? The scenes he had just described would win a blockbuster award if out in cinemas. "Ashaku, are you actually agreeing with this bogus story?" Miguel was disappointed with his old friend. This was stage perfect time to come out clean and say what you know without repercussions and you still decide to blatantly lie in their faces? Miguel pressed his lips together, pinching his mouth and shaking his head in disappointment. He never knew his friend was this kind of person. Clearly, people are dying left, right and I'm all directions, yet the two won't just come out and say it. The General wasn't even more infuriated, thinking they were taking this matter as a joke. Likes were at stake and they dared without important information, choosing to blame it on the emergence of some said Monster? "Bastard!" The General was so furious that his head turned tomato red, clenching his fist and launching them toward Harvey's face.

Boom! Harvey didn't bother defending himself, allowing the General to send him falling. He deserved it. People are dead because he didn't come earlier to say it was a monster. Despite no one believing his bogus tale, Harvey blamed himself for not trying his best to make them see what he and Ashaku saw. .

Bubuum~

Harvey's heart was in pieces and his face was white and pale without struggle when The General picked him up by his collar. The General was just about to send another fierce blow to his face when suddenly, his phone rang.

It was his 3rd phone that was in Hitchcoff's pocket. "Answer it." The General spat coldly, permitting Hitchcoff to pick it up. And so, Hitccoff accepted the call on the General's behalf, saying he was indisposed at the moment and couldn't speak now.

Hitccoff stayed silent, listening to the instructions on the other end that made him frown. "What do they want?"

"To pick up a special team… And, they need the 2 survivors from the tomb handed over to that team." Heh. The General sneered, "It seems justice has finally prevailed. And you all will pay for hiding information that could've saved lives!"

Ashaku and Harvey didn't have many expressions on their faces. It seemed even Ashaku was now ready to face whatever it was he was about to face. The guilt in their hearts was so great that they felt they needed to be punished, so they welcomed it with open arms. So be it… This was their time to fall. Ashaku also thought of his glorious time as an archeologist, feeling that the old saying was true that everyone one day comes to an end. This was his time to rest. . n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

"I'm old…" Ashaku murmured, taking a seat down beside Harvey who has now been ruthlessly dropped to the ground. "You did the right thing, even if they can't believe it," Ashuku whispered to him. Their chests and shoulders felt lighter just from saying the truth.

"Heh. Now, I'm sure the special team to arrive will force the truth out of you both by any means possible… You should have told us when you had the chance!"

The General was just about to make his exit when Hitchcoff suddenly coughed. "General… the words used by our superiors were odd.,"

"How so?"

Hitchcoff adjusted his glasses. "Sit, they said they were sending these people to not only help us but also protect these 2."

[The General] l: "_"

[Miguel]: "_"

[Harvey]: "_"

[Ashaku]: "_"

 … Why was the script turned upside down? The General was so very confused and at the same time, enraged. Protect them? Protect them from what? Their delusional brains or their blatant lies that could blow up the planet with laughter? Please, tell him what exactly these 2 bastards needed protection for. The General balled his fists in silence, seemingly trying to calm himself down. "You f***king bastards! Count yourselves lucky that you're still useful to my superiors, or else I would've long thrown you all in Cygypt's prison to rot in there for a while longer until you come back to your senses!"

Hmph! .

Like that, the General left the scene alongside Hitchcoff. Before leaving, Hitchcoff gave them a warning. "Be advised that until the special team arrives, you are not to leave your tents and roam anywhere else without monitoring." Guards will now be stationed outside their tents until further notice. Hitchcoff said nothing more and walked off. As for Miguel, he stayed behind, not recognizing this person he once called his friend. It would be a lie to say he wasn't panicking for Ashaku's sake. Even when it concerned Harvey, he felt the young man was upright and had good moral conduct. So what went wrong? "Old buddy, why are you making things difficult for yourself? Okay, fine, you don't want to tell me. But can you at least consider how Lily, your granddaughter, will feel when she hears the news?"

"Do you want the world to look at her with disgust because of your matter?"

Ashaku's body trembled, but he still continued to thin his lips. Miguel tried to pry open the duo's mouths to no avail. It seemed they wanted to stick with this absurd story of theirs. Miguel was more inclined to believe there was a giant warm animal or insect they had just discovered with its own scientific biological system than to believe there was a monster down there. Anything that revolves around the laws of Science can eat, grow., live and you guessed it… die! This means there's a chance of killing it if they know what they are working with. Bottom line, Science is Law!
