He stood as he looked directly into the CCTV camera.
Tension rises in the room among the architects of judgement.
Who is he?asked one of the architects.
He is really lucky surviving the game, replied another architect.
Clement was just busy looking at the masked man.
How did he survive even when he skipped the time just to kill him?he asked himself.
The tension in the room increased as all of them were amazed and surprised. Nobody had ever survived the pit game before since he created it. How come this masked man survived it? How did he survive it? He keeps on asking himself the same question repeatedly.
Meanwhile Nathaniel was just standing and watching the CCTV camera waiting for the system to give the next statement.
He knew that they were surprised that he survived it.
This is not the system he knew,the system he knew was always fast in decision making.
Deadly decisions that will always end someone's life.
But why are they surprised,was it because he wore the gun men uniform and masked he asked himself.
It's unusual,the time is ticking too,and yet the system has not yet made any speech.
His heart started beating fast as he wondered what the system was up to.
Clement monitored him very well and smiled this time around.
What your number and name the system finally speaks out.
Nathaniel knows he can't escape this,he doesn't know the name and number of the person he killed that has the cloth.
Nathaniel kept quiet,he only looked to his left and right.
What your number and name the system repeated again.
I don't remember,I had an issue with my head,I don't normally remember things.
Forgotten your name so easily,who does that?
I had a sickness before you brought me from the village to the game, I usually forget things easily.
Nathaniel knelt down on his feet.
Please spare my life, I promise to use my medication that the doctor gives me.
Clement looked at him again through the CCTV camera, very suspicious.
Who could it be? He asked himself.
What are you suggesting? Bryne asked.
I don't know what you guys are suggesting.
Bryne smiled, he already knew who it was, he knew the man had escaped death plenty of times,so escaping this one was not a surprise.
Should we put fire in the field and see if he can escape it ,the spoke man said.
I want to see his face, I want to know who he is, that's why I don't want to kill him.
The whole architect of judgement began planning what to do with him as they were just studying him and thinking of what to do.
Step forward,the system said.
Nathaniel stepped forward still concentrating his eyes on the CCTV camera.
What is the system planning to do again,what are they up to this time.
The place was becoming cold as he looked around,the table was on the right and the left side of the building was just empty.
The paint on the wall has begun to fade,the color was a rainbow color as it was designed in a marvelous design that can attract anybody.
The color was as if it was someone from the museum that painted the walls.
Everything in the room was old but neat and very creative,full of decorations and designs.
Nathaniel loved the room,as he was attracted to the beauty of the room.
The floor was marble tiles,a very fashionable one that can get your attention.
Nathaniel wondered how the system would be filled with beauty and designs.
Nathaniel looked up again to the CCTV camera as he obeyed what they said he should do.
Last game but this time it will be a question the system said.
Nathaniel bowed his head down as he was wondering what the system was up to again.
Are you ready for the question?
The first time the system asked a question and still asked him if he was ready for the question.
Nathaniel looked surprised and scared at the same time,he was not sure what the system was up to this time.
The room which was cold like ice blocks before begins to heat, Nathaniel can feel the heat even with his mask and the uniform he wore.
I am ready to answer the question Nathaniel replied.
Good,the system said.
Choose one number from number 1 to 5 which number you are choosing.
Nathaniel took a deep breath,as he exhaled and inhaled.
Remember the rule of the game,you are only allowed to choose one number and answer the question if you fail ,you die instantly but if you pass,you survive and join your men.
Nathaniel nodded his head in agreement.
He looked at the number on the system where it was displayed.
I chose number three, Nathaniel said.
Nice choice,the system said.
Now the question goes,if your father and your master was about to be shot on their head with each of the guns pointed on their head while you had a gun with one bullet, who are you going to save.
Nathaniel knew it was an easy question but it was also a test to confirm his ability,he bowed his head on the ground as the system sounded 20 secs to go.
Nathaniel looked up and smiled but the mask is covering his face so the men can't see him.
I save both.
How the system asked.
I will shoot the man holding my master on his forehead and then throw my gun at the hands of the man holding my dad then use speed to grab the man and kill him.
The system rang and waited for 10 seconds to check if it was possible.
Correct you are correct,now you have the answer correct.
Clement smiles as he knows the format the guy used for him.
Pull your mask, the system said.
Nathaniel knew he couldn't survive this one as the tension in his heart raced.
