Original story by: Chris Van Olberg

A notification sound from a mobile phone chat message sounds.

“Hey, are you ready? ”

Spencer let out a sigh and typed a reply.

“Well, I think we're probably ready now.”

“Okay, then let's meet at the meeting point in ten minutes.”

“OK, but what about Marta? Shall we go together? ”

“Oh, so you haven't talked to her yet? ”

“Um, I guess I'm in a hurry.”

“We thought we were talking already, Spencer. You and Marta are together. Don't forget, it's not good to act too cold. I talked to Marta last night. And she didn't deny anything. If there's anything, it's better to talk. It's not just hiding your face like this.”

“Okay, see you at the meeting point.”

“See you later.”

At the park near Brantford High School, well, it's actually not even close to walking a few steps to anything like that. It's just about two or three blocks away. At this place, Spencer always invites Marta to take a walk together. Ever since the two started dating each other as lovers As the sun shines down and there is a gentle breeze, two young women are sitting on a long bench, talking with each other, with bright smiles on their faces.

“It's almost time. Why hasn't Spencer arrived yet?”

“He is like this. I like to come late regularly.”

“Martha, don't blame us for being busy. Are you two having some problems? ”

Marta didn't immediately reply, she just lowered her head slightly, her eyes staring at the green grass surrounding her.

"There's nothing here. We're still dating normally. Just.."

I didn't even get to say it until the end. Spencer had already greeted me first.

“Hi, sorry, I had to prepare a lot of things so I'm a little late.”

The two women stared at the body of the voice almost at the same time. Seeing the surprised looks on their faces

“Is there something wrong? Are you going yet? ”

“Go, if you come a little later, I think I'll go out with Marta and the two of you.”

“Oh, that's mean.”

The three of them then walked out of the park. They walked and talked until they stopped at a bus stop to wait to get on the bus. And so the summer trip began at eleven thirty. There was nothing unusual along the way except for an apartment. Convenience stores to Fast food restaurant

The place Bethany chose to go on vacation this time was a small rural town which had the charm of beautiful scenery and nature suitable for recreation. Until the three of them arrived at their destination. It was already late afternoon, and since the departure time was close to noon, the three of them had not prepared any ready-to-eat food with them. They only had different types.

Only small packets of snacks. When they arrived, they didn't hesitate to find a restaurant first.

“Look, it's peaceful here too.”

Spencer said, clutching burgers in both hands.

“Yes, I came here when I was a child.”

Bethany added.

“Then you must know this place very well.”

Marta said.

“Well, it's not that much. Just knowing him has been there before and likes things like that.”

“So can you tell me where the first place I want to take you is?”

“If I tell you, it won't be a surprise. You'll know when you get there.”

Both Spencer and Marta looked at each other and had confused looks on their faces. After finding something to eat, the three of them continued their journey, but this time they had to walk among themselves along the path of treading on the red brick floor that stretched along this stretch. Marta's eyes suddenly stumbled upon an antique shop called Richer Antiques One Nine Six Zero.

“Is there something wrong? ”

Spencer asked as the two stood shoulder to shoulder. Marta was silent for a while before answering.

“If you don't mind, can I stop by the antique shop over there first? ”

Both Spencer and Bethany looked where Marta's finger was pointing. The appearance of this antique shop is decorated in Western style from the 1960s, mainly using muted tones, but it's not too dull. In front of the shop, in the right corner, is a large glass cabinet and there is an entrance door on the left, in front of which hangs an open sign. hold

“Alright, what's the matter? Let's go on a vacation today.”

Bethany spoke loudly.

The three of them then walked into the store. A number of strange items were placed in an orderly manner, just as the shop owner walked out to the counter and greeted the three of them in a friendly tone.

“I didn't know that you liked collecting these old things too.”

"No, my mom likes it. Every time I come to travel, I want to find something to take back and give to her in case it's a surprise."

Marta said with a difficult expression on her face. before exclaiming

“Eh! this "

“Is there something wrong? ”

“Look at this.”

In front of where Marta stood, there was a long rectangular table that looked more like a storage locker or something like that, but this wasn't what made her exclaim, but rather the item that was placed there. On the table that belonged to the owner of this thing, it was shaped like a wooden chest the size of two thick books joined together. On top of it was a carving that looked like a map or something, divided in half by a long-handled spear on the top half. The bottom half is an erupting volcano with overlapping leaves. There are also symbols carved around the four corners, which include a man wearing a hunter's hat in the upper left corner, a Lingkha image. A crab in the upper right corner, a rhino in the lower left, an elephant in the lower right, and

The most striking thing about the chest is the letters Jumanji that run across the center of the chest.

“Jumanji”

Spencer was the first to utter these words. Before the three of them looked into each other's eyes as memories slowly surfaced.

“Hey, are you guys interested in anything in particular? The price is negotiable.”

The voice of the shop owner walking outside the counter asked.

“Uh, I was looking for a souvenir that was a surprise and something like that.”

“Oh, then follow me. Let's take a look over there. There are many souvenirs to choose from. I'm sure you'll like them when you see them.”

As Spencer stood looking at the wooden chest, his memories of his jungle adventures in the game Jumanji surfaced again. Deep inside, he still wanted to be like Bravestone, who was brave, agile, and a powerful hero, which was completely different from his real life.

“Spencer, Spencer.”

Bethany, who kept calling his name over and over. This caused Spencer to wake up from his trance.

“What?”

“I saw you staring at that wooden chest without blinking. I thought something else had happened.”

“When I saw the name Jumanji again, I thought about the game from that time, but..”

“But what!? ”

“The Jumanji we played at that time was not like this. It was a cartridge game, like outdated Nintendo games. But this looks like an old board game. I was wondering how many kinds of games there are called Jumanji.”

“No matter how many kinds, it doesn't matter. Let's go look over there. I think what you need to do now is help Marta find souvenirs.”

“Okay, go.”

The two turned around to walk. But he had to stop suddenly because he heard the sound of mysterious drums coming from somewhere.

“Tum, tum, tum, tum.”

“Do you hear me like this? ”

“Yes, I think so.”

“How is it? ”

“Come on, if we don't start it, there won't be anything, right? Let's go.”

After selecting souvenirs until they were all to their liking, the three of them walked out of the store to go to the first destination that Bethany had prepared for Marta. She chose a locket to hang around her neck that looked good. They are quite old and still have handmade patterns that make them valuable for collecting. While walking and talking

Suddenly a strong wind blew, causing the three of them to stagger in different directions. Then the weather gradually changed from clear to gloomy. The sound of thunder could be heard in the distance.

“Really, it was still bright just now. This is really bad.”

Bethany said, annoyed.

“I guess today's travel plans will have to be folded for now.”

spencer said

“So what do we do now? ”

Marta asked.

“Can't help it, let's go check into the accommodation first.”

The accommodations that the three were staying at were complimentary of Bethany's mother. It was a four-star hotel with few rooms that were clean and safe. They all stayed in separate rooms, choosing their rooms in order.

“Okay, here we have the room you chose. So have a good dream. meet tomorrow "

" meet tomorrow "

After successfully separating In room number two zero one, Spencer was sitting at the foot of the bed watching TV, but because of exhaustion from traveling or the drowsy atmosphere, he fell asleep without realizing it.

“Spencer! help! Spencer! ”

Spencer was startled when he heard someone screaming for help. which was the voice of Marta Spencer, who immediately stood up.

In front of room number two zero two

“Knock, knock, knock.”

“Who? ”

“It's me, Spencer.”

Marta opened the door.

" hi "

“What's the matter? ”

Spencer looked up into the room before speaking.

“Well, I came to check to make sure. She is nothing.”

Marta smiled.

“I'm fine, thank you.”

“Okay, then nothing. Good night.”

" sweet dreams "

Just as Marta was about to close the door

“Wait, actually I want to tell you. Just now, while watching TV, I fell asleep and heard someone screaming for help.”

Marta looked suspicious.

“And that voice…it was her voice.”

“So?”

“Maybe I'm dreaming it myself, that's all.”

On the way back to the room, Spencer crossed paths with a man. The two exchanged glances for a moment, and Spencer felt that this man's face was familiar. But before he could do anything further

“Hey! Wait a minute, it's you.”

" yes "

“If I remember correctly, you and your friend, right? who went to buy collectibles at my store this afternoon.”

“Yes, yes, I feel familiar with your face too.”

“I have one thing to give you. Come to my room.”

Spencer looked confused but followed him. The room where the antique shop owner stayed was almost at the end of the hallway. The room number is two zero nine. The owner of the collectibles shop introduced himself as Brian, and Richer's name was his uncle's name. He was away from town for a few days on important work, so he gave him the keys to the shop to take care of him.

“Sit down, wait a moment.”

After saying that, Brian disappeared inside before walking back out with a leather bag in hand. He placed it on the coffee table in front of the sofa and slowly unzipped the bag. Spencer's expression looked a bit surprised to see what was inside.

“What is this? ”

“I don't know much about it. But today at the shop I saw that she was especially interested in it. So I thought she might know something.”

“A chest like this is something I have just seen before. But what I'm interested in is the name carved on this chest.”

“A name? You mean Jumanji, right? ”

" yes "

While the two were talking, the phone suddenly rang. Brian got up and walked over to pick it up. He spoke and responded to the voice on the phone for a moment. Spencer didn't care, so he sat and waited until Brian hung up.

“I have urgent business, so take this and try it out first to see if you like it.”

“Is it good? It looks like it's an old item. If I break it, I probably won't have the money to pay for the damages.”

“Come on, let's talk about that later.”

It turns out that Spencer now has a wooden chest named Jumanji to keep with him. Whether it's by chance or whatever you want to call it, it depends. It was already in his hands. It only depends on what he does with it. Jumanji is a game for those who find a way to leave the world behind. At Room Two Zero One, Spencer

Place the old wooden chest on the book table and slowly open the chest lid. But before I could open it, the chat message notification sound from my mobile phone sounded.

“Yo, how was your trip? ”

It was a message from Fridge.

"Uh, that's okay. It's a pity you didn't come with us."

“Sorry, I just happened to get tickets for an important match. If I miss this time, I don't know when I'll have another chance.”

“It's okay, I understand, but you won't believe what I found here.”

“What? A grizzly bear with big fangs? ”

“No, it's just an old board game.”

“Oh, what do you think? It's just an old game. To me it's just a game. But for a genius gamer like you, it would look amazing.”

“Probably yes. And don't you want to know what game it is?”

“How do you know? You tell me.”

“Jumanji”

" what! Are you kidding me? ”

“A little bit of forest.”

“But wait a minute. You said board games just now, right? Then maybe it's a really old game. Coincidentally, the name is the same as a game we used to play. and already destroyed it.”

" that is what I think But when I found it, I heard a strange noise. It sounded exactly like the sound of a drum.”

“And you…”

Fridd had just sent this message and suddenly the signal suddenly disappeared. Then everything returned to silence. Spencer looked down at the time on his phone. But at that moment, his ears picked up the sound of drummers as if it were all around him. Followed by a knock on the door.

“Knock, knock, knock.”

Spencer was startled and walked towards the door.

“Who? ”

“Spencer, it's us.”

Just hearing the sound, he hurriedly opened the door. Immediately, Bethany and Marta, who had been waiting, walked in almost at the same time. They told him they heard someone playing drums in the bedroom. Before the two of them saw a wooden chest on a book table. And it surprised them both.

“How did he come to live with you? ”

Bethany asked quickly.

“How should I tell you? Things happened so quickly that I still don't know how to begin. And I hate to say we have to do something about it.”

“Do something, you mean do something with this chest, right? ”

“I don't think it's just a chest. From the looks of it, there was a carving that looked like it was a story on top. And I thought maybe this would be a board game.”

“Board game!! ”

Both Bethany and Marta exclaimed at the same time.

Spencer walked over to the study table and then picked up the wooden chest and placed it on the floor. He looked up at his two female friends.

“Let's try it out, shall we? ”

“Will it be good? ”

“Yes, I think like Marta.”

“Come on, just try it for a laugh.”

“Damn, you said this last time. And then it was like…Boom.”

The three of them sat in a circle as Spencer opened the lid of the chest. Inside the chest, there was a spiraling passageway that was covered with intricate leaf sculptures, and this passageway seemed to connect to a circle in the center that looked like glass or mirrors, except it was opaque. When Spencer flipped the trunk the other way.

On the left side of the chest is written Jumanji, a game for those who find a way to leave the world behind. Next, write: Roll your friend's dice and roll a pair and get another turn. Whoever reaches the finish line first wins.

“Make no mistake, it's actually a board game.”

spencer

“I have never seen a game look like this before.”

Bethany

“Now what next? ”

Marta

"We have to find something to play with. Wait a minute."

Spencer said, looking around and he found that on the right side of the chest there seemed to be a hole covered by a lid. When he opened it, he found that inside there was There were three small statues: a rhinoceros, an elephant, and a lion. He slowly picked them up, but then he accidentally dropped them. Immediately, the three statues that fell onto the board rolled to their starting points together before Can turn back up on its own.

“Look, it's unbelievable.”

“I think maybe there's a magnet hidden at the bottom of the chest.”

“Try rolling the dice.”

Spencer was the first to play and he rolled a six on the dice. before the lion statue slowly moved down the corridor on its own.

“Cool, just like that.”

And at the same time, the circle in the center of the chest began to show some kind of reaction.

“Look! ”

Bethany, who had been focused from the beginning, spoke up. Both Spencer and Marta looked down together.

In the center of the circle, the glass slowly revealed letters. In the night when they fly, you should quickly fly away from those winged creatures. Then suddenly there was the sound of something like a bird flapping its wings, and it wasn't the only one.

“What is that sound!? ”

"I think this isn't going well. Stop playing."

“It's okay. We're in a hotel. Something could get in there. The door was all closed as well. Okay, whose turn is it next? ”

Bethany sighed first.

“Alright, how are you?”

This time her dice showed three points. Then the rhino statue slowly moved along the corridor. As the letters in the center of the circle appear the words The bite was like a needle poke, but it was painful and itchy. But this time, what happened was not just a sound, but a whole swarm of them, their bodies black. Dozens of mosquitoes suddenly flew out from in front of the fireplace and rushed towards the three of them without warning.

The three of them swung their hands back and forth. Marta and Bethany both shrieked, and Spencer, who had grabbed a stick, started fighting each other. When he looked around again, it seemed like everything had happened. What happened just now was just an illusion.

“Are you going yet? Are they all gone yet? ”

Both girls spoke in one voice.

“It's all gone, or should I say it's gone?”

“If I knew this, I'd rather stay home.”

“Why do we have to go through something like this?”

“I don't know why.”

“So you will continue playing? If you throw these dice away, you can't play them, right?”

Finished speaking, Marta picked up the dice and threw them out the window. But as soon as the dice fell out of his hand, they suddenly bounced back and fell onto the board by themselves, as if being attracted by a magnet. This created amazement for the three people who saw it. The dice that fell on the board rolled for a while before coming to rest and on the face of the dice was a five-pointer, Marta.

You swallowed hard as a circle slowly appeared. You must wait in the forest. Until you find the seal seal cave.

“What is a Seal Cave? ”

Marta said, and at that moment something happened to her body. Both of her hands slowly became deformed.

“Martha! ”

Both Spencer and Bethany exclaimed together

“What happened here!? ”

Marta's body was slowly sucked into the glass circle as Spencer quickly reached out and grabbed her, causing him to be sucked in as well. Bethany, of course, would not let go. Having his best friend disappear in front of his eyes without doing anything, and then the three of them were quickly sucked into the glass circle.

“Spencer! help! Spencer! ”

Within the quiet darkness, however, this cry for help resounded over and over. Spencer woke up and looked around at the lush green trees and above him, the clear blue sky. before helping himself up from the bamboo bed

“Where is this? So how did we get here? ”

“Have you recovered? She was unconscious for several hours.”

A man's voice came from behind. causing Spencer to look back. And the image he saw in front of him was a muscular man with a bald head. He was wearing a khaki shirt, green pants with a leather belt, and brown hiking boots. Spencer's mouth dropped open for a moment.

“Are you the one who helped me? ”

“It can be like that. But what is she doing here? ”

The bald-headed man said as he walked over. before handing a glass of water to Spencer

"Thank you. I just came to hang out with a friend."

“Come visit! Is it here? ”

“Listen, you may not believe it. Actually, I had been here once before. In this Jumanji forest.”

“Jumanji, what is Jumanji? ”

“Well, here. Right where we're standing is Jumanji. Don't you know? ”

“Such a strange name. I just recently heard this.”

Spencer had a look of bewilderment and surprise on his face.

“If it's not the Jumanji Forest, then this is it. Where? ”

“ Bosque Canonchillo in Peru ”

Spencer accidentally squirted water out of his mouth.

“What..what!? This is really Peru.”

The bald-headed man did not reply. He just raised his eyebrows in response.

“What about you? What are you doing here? ”

“Well, let's explore the traces of ancient civilization. Something like that?”

“Then you are…?”

“Oh, I'm sorry I forgot to introduce myself. I'm Bravestone, Doctor Smolder Bravestone, and you? ”

“Spencer Gilpin.”

The two men reached out and touched each other. Immediately, a feeling rushed through Spencer's heart, and it was a feeling that was difficult to put into words at this time.

“Then you must be infatuated with your friend. Did I guess correctly? ”

“Yes, I don't know how they are doing now.”

“True, when I found you unconscious, I found something next to you… Here it is.”

Spencer reached out to take it. It was a lion sculpture. Upon seeing it, he immediately remembered that this sculpture was the same one he had used in the previous Jumanji board game, and it made him nervous because this time it was different. From the last time they were sucked into the game and were put together as a group.

“Is there something wrong? ”

“No, I'm worried about two friends who have gotten lost.”

Spencer actually wanted to tell Dr. Bravestone the entire incident. But in a story like that, who would believe in a game and get sucked in?

“Don't worry. Although I don't come here often, I know some of the trails in this forest. I'll help you find your friend for me.”

Bravestone smiled.

“Thank you, Doctor.”

The place where the two of them met and talked was a simple makeshift shack that was used as a temporary residence. Still, it is strong enough to provide some protection from the sun and rain. Once the two had finished preparing, they were ready to travel.

“Okay, are we going yet? ”

Spencer nodded in response.

“I can't believe it. This is a real jungle in Peru.”

Spencer muttered as he followed Bravestone out. Next to the other side of the deep forest. There is a medium sized building. On the outside, its appearance looked like a hideout for drug dealers or the like. Around the area, men wearing military camouflage uniforms walked around in tight patrols.

“Keep working, don't delay, do you hear that? ”

A young man's voice shouted. He seems to be in charge here. And he was speaking to a number of other people, including men and women who were shabbily dressed, with their heads bowed down, carrying large stones as they walked along the road. If someone dropped a stone from their hand, they would use a whip to beat them without restraint, whether they were children, adults, elderly people, or women. In fact, these people were once villagers who lived peacefully. come first

But after General Killer's visit, everything was no longer the same. General Killer originally acted as a friend in order to trick people into trusting him. and was not careful But in the end, he revealed his true nature: he was a power-hungry person. and likes fighting a war that never ends until he secretly found out that at

This village has hidden powerful wonders. From that moment on, he tried everything in his power to acquire it. This results in innocent people being oppressed and becoming victims of this madness.

“Oh!”

The voice of a woman exclaiming as she tripped over a stone and fell face down on the ground. while another woman stepped forward to help support him.

“Hey! Stop it, you don't have to, I'll take care of it myself. Go back to your work.”

People who were captured for labor were kept in fairly sturdy steel cages and were given only two meals a day, breakfast and lunch. In the evening, they were reunited in a rather dirty and cramped cell.

“Martha, how are you? I'm sorry I couldn't do anything during the day.”

“It's okay, I know you're having just as much trouble. Why do we have to go through something bad like this? I don't know where Spencer is right now.”

The two young women sat with their arms crossed and their shoulders touching each other. The wound on Marta's knee appeared to have received some initial healing. Their condition looked almost disheveled.

“Spencer, where exactly are you right now? ”

Bethany said in a soft voice. He looked up and looked up at the small gap between the iron bars until the night came. For the two of you, it really was a very long time.

The next morning

“Are you tired? You can sit in front and rest first.”

“The weather here is really hot as well. It's good that this time I brought medicine with me.”

“Does she have a congenital disease? ”

“Yes, I am allergic to almost everything.”

“Then it would not be appropriate to travel in the forest like this. From here there is a village not too far away. She went to stay there first. As for finding friends, that's my responsibility."

“Is that good? It's like that...”

“Trust me, I will find your friend. What is her friend's name and what does she look like? ”

“There are two women. Their age is about the same as mine. One's name is Marta, and the other's name is Bethany. I say give it to me….”

“Spencer, I can understand your feelings. But if you really want to help your friend, it's better to do as I say.”

The expression on Spencer's face at this time clearly showed his dilemma. If he could be as strong as Bravestone, it would be great.

“Spencer, you're not a weak person. In my eyes ”

The two men's eyes met, showing friendship, strength, and true manliness. Spencer clenched his jaw until it was visible, before nodding. After getting enough rest to recover from their tiredness, they continued their journey. Not long after the winding path finally led them to a place.

There were buildings spread out in rows. Bravestone walked in front of him with a smile on his face. But then, his expression suddenly changed to the opposite because of the picture he got. See next to the foreground It was an image that was not memorable at all. houses which were destroyed by fire

Various items were thrown away and strewn all over the place. Bravestone hurriedly stepped in to investigate what had happened here. Meanwhile, in another corner of the house, there was a shadow of someone hiding. When Bravestone was seen walking towards him, the person hiding jumped out and swung his fist without warning. one

But because of his adventurer's instincts, Bravestone was able to retreat in time, causing the incoming fist to narrowly miss the target. Spencer, who was following behind, saw him and accidentally let out a gasp.

“That's… Ruby Roundhouse!!”

A sharp-looking woman with shoulder-length dark brown hair, wearing a sleeveless blood red leather shirt with a diagonal leather strap, similar to the gun straps police often use, and green shorts tied around the waist with a belt. They wore leather and high brown boots, both fists covered with cut-off knuckle gloves. She looked over for a moment.

Then proceeded to show off his skills at full speed with Bravestone, including punches, kicks, and kicks, all complete.

“Wait, wait, wait, what is this? Who are you? ”

“And who are you? ”

The two fought like one was attacking. One person kept avoiding and defending.

“I am Doctor..”

“You are the same as those people, right? ”

“Those? Where are they? ”

“You better not lie. It's the bandit soldiers who came to rob this village.”

“I misunderstood. I just came here too.”

“Then prove it. That you are not one of them.”

“I can guarantee that. That he definitely isn't."

Spencer said, causing the woman to pause for a moment, but still narrowing her eyes. After the truce was settled, the young woman introduced herself as Ruby Roundhouse. She had come to the village to see her brother, who was working as a field medic here. But when it arrived, everything was almost completely destroyed. As she was walking around, she happened to come across a few men in military uniforms walking around, and from what they told her, she learned that people in the village were being taken to do work. Served as a servant to a general.

“So you think your brother was one of the people who were captured.”

“What else can I think of? Umm, and please forgive me for what happened just now.”

"Oh, it's okay, we just misunderstood each other."

Bravestone said with a smile, while Ruby showed a bright look in her eyes.

“But what about you guys? What are we doing here? ”

“We are looking for friends. You mean this young man's friend. It just happened that they got lost in the forest.”

“I heard that this forest is the area of ​​a general named Killer. I don't want to think like this. But maybe her friends will be captured by them as well as the people in the village.”

“General Killer This name doesn't sound familiar to me at all. Do you know who he is? ”

" do not know So what should we do next?”

“After all, we are in the same boat. She went to help my brother and we went to help our friends. If so, should we go together? ”

“Okay, then that's fine.”

At General Killer's hideout This is the same place where Martha and Bethany were captured and kept for forced labor.

“This has been a long time coming. Haven't you found that cave yet, Professor?"

“I am fully engaged. But it is very complicated and will take some time.”

“Don't make me lose my patience first. By then, you should know what the outcome will be.”

Professor Oberon swallowed hard before nodding. The man he was talking to was named Eliot Well Killer, a tall, slightly stocky, bearded man. He wore a black and gray military uniform and black leather boots. From the surface, he was not a fierce person, which was completely different from the spirit hidden within.

After traversing the forest for quite a distance, Spencer's expression began to show signs of exhaustion, but he didn't say anything, and several times Bravestone noticed.

“Let's take a break, okay? ”

Bravestone said, and Ruby didn't say anything, just turned her head and looked.

“It's better not. I'm worried about my friend not knowing how to live or die. As tired as this is, I can still endure it. Also, according to that woman, General Killer's hiding place. It's right next to us."

“Looks like you two are very close. Then let's go.”

"My name is Ruby Roundhouse. I don't think that's her name."

Ruby muttered before following after him. Until the three of them stood on the ridge of a mound, in front of them there were buildings surrounded by small brick walls, lined up in a long line. At various entrances and exits, there were still three or four men in military uniforms patrolling around with guns in their hands.

“I took care of the guards myself. As for the two of you, they waited to find the right moment to pass inside. I'll join later.”

Bravestone issued a firm and decisive command.

“Okay, here's the deal.”

Ruby replied before the three of them looked at each other.

“Be careful.”

This would be the first time that Spencer had seen the real Bravestone's fighting skills, which were different from the previous Bravestone himself. As the three of them crept in silently, Spencer followed Ruby as if she were her shadow. It didn't take long for the Bravestones who had split up in the other direction to close in on the soldiers. The guards then proceeded to deal with them until they were defeated. Seeing that the way was convenient, Ruby Roudhouse and Spencer

So he quickly stepped inside. The two walked along the path carefully. But then three men suddenly appeared from the corner of the roadside post and immediately attacked the two of them. When faced with an assassin of the greatest level like Ruby Roodhouse, everyone had to be knocked over one after the other.

“Let's continue.”

But at that moment, up at the top of the building, a guard was pointing his gun at Ruby's head, his finger ready to pull the trigger.

“Scorching! ”

However, it had to narrowly miss the target. The deadly bullet hit the wall only a few centimeters above Ruby's head. This moment of life and death caused her to look up. It was Bravestone who had blocked the barrel of the gun, and near where he stood there were three or four men lying unconscious.

It was unknown how many of General Killer's minions there were, while Bravestone raised his right thumb to signal that the passage was clear. before the three of them joined together again.

“The sound of the gun just now. It must have made them aware. We have to hurry.”

Bravestone said

“The cell is probably around here somewhere. Let's hurry and go.”

Ruby said

“Spencer, are you okay? ”

“It should be okay, I think.”

At General Killer's room

“General, someone unknown has broken into our camp.”

“Who is this brave?”

“How should I do it?”

“Then go and capture him. And what did you just do? I want to know first what kind they are.”

“I know.”

Every distance that the Bravestones had passed were guards stationed almost all along the line. Breaking through those soldiers was not an easy task. Until they reached a level area that sloped downwards, and Ruby was sure that this place was the prison room for the people in the village who had been captured.

“The cell is down here.”

"Are you sure it's not wrong?"

“The path we passed was full of guards. If this isn't a prison cell then it must be something very important.”

“Spencer, all you have to do is stay close to me. Do you think you can do it? ”

“Yes, I will try.”

“Alright, let's go.”

After stepping down the stairs for a while, what appeared in front of the three people was a deep open hall, flanked by iron cages on both sides, and within the iron cages were a number of people sitting lined up. Their faces looked dull and their clothes looked disheveled.

“Who are you guys!? You dare to break in here?”

The voice of a young man walked out from a dark corner and he had a gun in his hand.

“Listen guys, we're just here to help those who were captured. It's better not to make things difficult, believe me.”

“Who do you think you are, a powerful hero? ”

Finishing his words, the barrel of the gun in his hand was pointed with his finger ready to pull the trigger. But it was already too late, because Bravestone had thrown something a fraction of a second earlier. And that immediately caused the gun to fly out of the owner's hand. Then the real battle began. As for the win and loss, there is probably no need to talk about Bravestone.

Handing the cell key to Ruby, Spencer looked around, hoping to find his two female friends. People after people walked out of the room, all of them villagers and unfamiliar faces. On the other side, Bravestone had gone deeper inside, almost to the end. Until he stopped and stood in front of another cell.

“Spencer! Spencer! It's really you, I'm not blind, am I? Damn it, how did you get here? ”

Bethany said in a tone that was half happy, half surprised.

Bravestone's side still stood with a confused expression. Suddenly, someone called his name: Spencer.

“Spencer, you really have come to help us.”

Marta said.

Meanwhile, Spencer slowly stepped out of Bravestone's shadow from behind, and what happened caused the two friends to be shocked. Isn't Spencer Bravestone? And why? There's both Spencer and Bravestone here. Why are they together?

“Martha Bethany! Thank God They are still safe.”

“Spencer! ”

Both Marta and Bethany exclaimed at the same time.

“Yes, it's me.”

“If you are Spencer, then that man? ”

"He's Doctor Smolder Bravestone. Er, I mean the real Bravestone."

" what!? ”

On the other hand, Ruby was helping people while also looking for her brother, but still couldn't find any. The locked up people were slowly coming out until almost all of them were gone. There was only one man standing behind him. It was her brother. Ruby let out a sigh of relief before the two talked for a while.

“Spencer, I don't want to interrupt you guys. But we have to hurry.”

“Yes, Marta Bettany. I'll tell you later. Now let's hurry and get out of here.”

After careful inspection that no one was left behind, Bravestone, Ruby and her brothers, Spencer, Marta, and Bethany, and the other captured people carefully walked out of the dungeon.

“What's that noise outside? ”

“An intruder warning sound.”

“Die! So, is it safe for us to stay here? ”

“Don't worry, Professor, the soldiers outside will take care of it themselves.”

“Like that? ...Oh, oh.”

“What's going on?”

“Suddenly I felt pain in my chest. Please take me to the infirmary.”

“Oh, just wait a moment.”

When the guard at the front of the room unlocked the door, Professor Oberon took advantage of the guard's timing and took the piece of wood he had hidden and smashed it into the back of his neck with full force, causing the guard to fall to the ground and die. Go unconscious

“I have been waiting to do this for a long time.”

In fact, Professor Oberon was also one of the people who were kidnapped and held captive in General Killer's camp, and he himself knows that he survived until this day. Because he was still useful to General Killer. But if there was a day when he was no longer useful, would General Killer be willing to let him breathe?

Cut to Brentstone, returning to the same path they took in the beginning. It seemed like it was the only way out where there were no more guards left.

“Alright, the way is convenient, Ruby. Please help get these people out of here as quickly as possible.”

“I know, everyone, follow me.”

Then the group of villagers all moved out to the other side. Professor Oberon, who had secretly escaped, took this opportunity to smoothly blend into the group of villagers. As for Spencer, Marta, and Beth. Tani followed later. Bravestone was last, and as the four people walked past one corner of the building, One person's applause sounded three times.

“Who do you think it is? It's actually a familiar person.”

These words caused Bravestone, who was walking behind, to turn and look back at the source of the voice.

“Well? Eliot Wells"

“Do you still remember that name? ”

Before General Killer stepped out of the shadows The figure that appeared in the distance in front of Bravestone at this time was a man in his thirties wearing a full sand-colored military uniform with a black leather belt and tall military boots. His face was rather rough and he wore a thin beard. Considered to be a person whose appearance is more good than bad. This was in stark contrast to his innermost spirit.

“We haven't seen each other for a long time. You are still the same, haven't changed at all.”

“I'm an idealist, and you're still studying gravel and all that?”

“He is called an archaeologist.”

“So what is an archaeologist like you doing in my camp? Let me guess, you probably didn't come to visit your old friend, right? ”

“To be honest, no. I'm here to help the people you captured. Besides, I didn't even know that. that you are here.”

“Without asking me a single question.”

“Listen, Wells, this is my…”

“Speak no further, Eliot Wells, the person you are talking about. I killed it myself two years ago. As for the person standing in front of you right now, is General Killer.”

“Don't be crazy, the war ended a long time ago. What we need right now is peace.”

" no! It's not over yet. The strong rise above the weak. And only the strong will lead. As for the word peace, it doesn't last. Only war can make us stronger.”

“So you took innocent bystanders captive to satisfy your own needs. Stop it, friend.”

“Yes, but you have to do one thing for me.”

" what!? ”

“Return those people back.”

“I can do everything. Except for this matter.”

"If that's the case, then don't accuse me of being mean."

At the end of his speech, General Killer raised one hand as if to signal something. Before they were even ready, his minions stepped out and grabbed Spencer and his two friends from behind. And at that moment, the carved stone that was in Spencer's bag came out and fell to the ground.

General Killer, who had sharp eyesight, saw it. His eyes shone brightly as if he had seen something valuable. Bravestone thought of going to help, but in this situation, he would definitely be at a disadvantage because there were three hostages there.

“They have nothing to do with it. Can you let him go and take me instead?”

“At first I thought of doing that. But I've changed my mind. Because I became interested in them.”

“Come on, Well, what happened to you? You weren't like this before.”

“Do I have to repeat that again? I am General Killer. Now take them and lock them in my room.”

General Killer Stern orders were given to his minions before the Spencers were taken away. Meanwhile, Bravestone could only look on.

“Bravestone, if you want those three back, it won't be difficult at all. Just hand over my captives. Oh, and don't keep me waiting too long. Because my patience is quite limited.”

Bravestone's expression now revealed concern, but only for a moment.

“I hope Ruby was able to get the villagers back out safely.”

Bravestone said to himself.

On the way the Spencers were taken to the prison cell. They walked along, chatting and gossiping along the way.

“What? At first I thought I was getting out of here. But has it become necessary to come back again?”

Bethany said hopelessly.

“Doctor Bravestone probably won't be able to help us. What should I do, Spencer?”

Marta added,

“Don't give up yet. Last time because I was in the body of Doctor Bravestone. I have become strong But this time is different. I am who I am, and I think it's time for us to rely on ourselves.”

“Alright then, how is it?”

Bethany said

“But you must be the leader.”

Marta added.

Spencer could only nod in response. On the other hand, Ruby, who had successfully led the captured people out of General Killer's camp, entrusted her brother with her. After that, Ruby rejoined Bravestone once again. Knowing that all the villagers had escaped safely, Bravestone felt relieved, but there was still one more burden. The task he had to do was to help Spencer and his friends, and this time it wouldn't be as easy as the first because they were taken to General Killer's room.

“It looks like the Doctor is close to that kid, you mean Spencer?”

“Not really, we just met not long ago. I found him lying unconscious in the forest and later found out that he had become separated from his friends.”

“So I volunteered to find a friend for him. Is that so? ”

“Yes, maybe I saw something in that boy.”

“See… see something? ”

“I can't tell you the same thing, Ruby. Actually, you don't have to go with me. Well, the person I knew is no longer the same. What plans does he have now? and thinking about what to do I still don't know. But what I know for sure is He has turned into a war nut who likes to kill people.”

“If you hadn't saved my life then. I probably wouldn't have the chance to stand here. We're in the same boat, don't forget.”

Bravestone didn't say anything. He only turned to meet Ruby's eyes and nodded. Next, General Killer's private quarters, which might not look very large, but still had room for holding important prisoners and captives. This room was used to hold many important prisoners, most of whom have since died. As General Killer walked towards his room with an object in his hand, he looked at it with satisfaction.

“Lion carved stone I had been searching for so long, I didn't think it would be this easy. Wait a minute, then maybe the remaining two carved stones might also be with that young man. Huh, losing the captives but getting something valuable. Until you come to replace me?”

General Killer, who wanted to possess the power of the ancient legendary carved stone, had gone to great lengths to acquire it, and now that he had one in his hands, what would he do from now on? was to find the remaining two carved stones, which he thought would definitely be in Spencer's hands. However, the answer he got from Spencer's mouth was

" what! Just pieces used for playing games? I understand this well. Can't you tell it's a carved stone? Listen carefully, boy, if you still won't tell me the truth, I'm going to show you what real pain is like. Tell me! ”

Not long after, Spencer was carried into the cell by General Killer's lackeys, completely battered, before being placed on the ground as his two friends watched in horror. Bethany and Marta rushed over to check on him while Spencer was gasping for air.

“General Killer's new victims, you guys? ”

Someone's low hoarse voice came from a corner of the cell. This caused the three of them to turn their heads to look at the source of the sound. No more than ten paces away, there was a person sitting calmly. His body was covered with a dull-colored cloth that looked like an old sack of rice before he slowly raised his head. His face had a dark complexion, thick eyebrows, a mustache, and a thick beard. A red cloth was tied around his neck. He said before standing up and walking over, and at this moment the Spencers could clearly see the identity of this man. He was a black man wearing a walker's clothing. Pa wore a short-sleeved t-shirt and a vest over white shorts and leather shoes.

“Here, eat this. Even though it won't help much, it will be enough to relieve the pain.”

" thank you "

Marta held out her hand before turning to meet Bethany's eyes, and the expressions on both of their faces showed that they had known this man before.

“Uh.. well, what do you want to say? If you want to ask me your name.”

Bethany said.

“Yes, but I think that even if I knew, it wouldn't be of any use because I would soon be executed. My name is Franklin Finbar.”

“Executed! ”

Both Bethany and Marta exclaimed in a single voice. Meanwhile, Spencer's condition gradually improved after taking the trauma medicine that Finbar gave him.

“Mr. Finbarr was also held captive here by General Killer? And why do you have to be sentenced to death?”

“Here, anyone who is no longer useful must be eliminated.”

“What should I do now? I don't want to waste my life here.”

“We must find a way to escape from here. And I believe there must be a channel somewhere.”

“That matter can be forgotten. Because I've tried it before. Apart from the front door, there was no way to escape here. In the past, there used to be a prisoner who was able to break out of this prison and escape. But at that time, this room still had a passage behind it, which was not very strong, and because of this, General Killer made some modifications, making this room into a closed room with only one entrance and exit. ”

While the four people were talking, Suddenly, a piece of dust flew down, and Spencer noticed it before he looked up. There was a square grille that was neither big nor small, probably for ventilation or something. But at that moment, a face appeared from outside: Bravestone.

“Doctor Bravestone”

Spencer said, his voice almost husky.

“Are you still expecting him to help us? I think he probably secretly ran away to survive by himself.”

“Bettany, look at that.”

The remaining three then looked where Spencer's finger was pointing. Seeing Bravestone Bettany's face What are you about to shout out? But Marta put her hand over her mouth first. Next to the outside of the room, the guards in front of the door were about to change their shifts and

Every time there is a change of duty, what the new guard must do is come in and check the orderliness of the room to make sure that the captive is still there and has not secretly escaped.

“And who is that man!? ”

“He is our friend.”

" friend!? ”

Above the building, Bravestone was using his tools to unscrew the iron bars while below, three new guards were getting ready and making their way to the quarters. General Killer with a gun in hand

“Isn't it finished yet? ”

Ruby, who was watching over me, said this.

“Almost just a little more.”

And then the last lock was released. Bravestone did not hesitate to pull the iron bars open. However, on the inside of the bars there was another layer of iron plates covering it, which was a transparent type of bars that could You can only insert your hand, or to put it simply, it looks like a crossed cross and

The only way to get the Spencers out of here was to use their hands to pull them free.

“What else is going on!? ”

Bravestone even cursed. Amidst the anxious watch of the four people looking up from below

“Is there something wrong? ”

Ruby asked.

“I think we have a problem.”

“Do you want me to help you!? ”

Bravestone let out a soft sigh before answering.

"It's okay, I'll take care of it myself."

Meanwhile, Bravestone was thinking of a way to remove the steel plate blocking the exit. His eyes caught a small groove in one corner of the steel plate, and when he looked closely he could see that the steel plate was actually not nailed to the ceiling of the building at all. It was just made to fit the gap, using the density of the steel plate as a fastener to the gap. Bravestone

A smile appeared at the corner of his mouth before he used both palms to grab the iron plate and slowly pulled it out. Since this iron plate was quite old, pulling it out once and for all would be impossible. It required quite a bit of strength. Bravestone tried to pull it a few times.

He used his full strength. And finally, the steel plate, which was six millimeters thick, was finally torn open. at the same time The new guards on their way were getting closer and closer to General Killer's quarters. Inside the room, Bravestone lowered a rope for four people to climb up, starting with Marta first, then Bethany, Spencer, and Finbar.

In order, everyone seemed to be doing quite well. The Spencers were finally on the roof of the building. The only thing left is Finbar, which is a little slow.

“Hurry up, hurry up.”

Bravestone said.

Finbar tried to hurry but it didn't seem to help much and at one point during the climb one of his small fanny packs fell off his waist. It collided with another object placed on the table, causing that object to immediately roll and fall to the floor.

When the guard in front of the room heard a loud noise from inside, he quickly turned the key in. What appeared next in front of the guards was A black man was dangling in mid-air from a rope.

“Hey! It's about to escape.”

As soon as his words were finished, one of the guards pulled out his gun and took aim and fired. But whether it was because of the suddenness or how, it is unknown, causing the first bullet to narrowly miss its target. while the second and third shots followed closely behind.

“Take my hand! ”

Finbarr, who had been keeping his eyes closed, regained consciousness. He reached out and touched Bravestone's hand as firmly as he could, and his body was pulled up out of the way of the bullet and escaped. It was a success.

“I thought I wouldn't survive, my heart and soul were gone...Thank you.”

“It's okay. Okay, everyone's okay, right? ”

“Yes, it's very comfortable, although I'm still dizzy.”

Bethany answered immediately.

The new guards heard the sound of gunfire and immediately rushed to General Killer's room.

" What's up!? ”

“The captives managed to escape.”

“Then you two let him escape, right? ”

The two guards, whose faces were now ashen, exchanged glances with each other before being able to answer. One of the newly arrived guards used a gun and shot each person in the head with one shot until he fell down and died right there.

“Useless man. Why live? You two, hurry and report to the general! ”

The other two guards, who were shocked by what was happening before their eyes, swallowed hard before answering the order. When General Killer learned that the captive had escaped, he ordered soldiers to guard Professor Oberon's room, but learned that another Professor Oberon had disappeared. This made General Killer very angry. He thought that all of this had definitely been Bravestone's work. He shouted out in rage.

“ Bravestone ”

Before he ordered the group to hunt down Bravestone and all the prisoners who had escaped, the Bravestone faction had now escaped from General Killer's camp. tidy Along the way, Bethany asked Spencer about the whole incident.

" TRUE ! So now we're in Peru? ”

“I'm still not quite sure. But Doctor Bravestone told me this.”

“If that's the case. So how do we get home? ”

Marta asked.

“ It's easy, just use your mobile phone. Who has a mobile phone with them? ”

Both Spencer and Marta turned to look at each other and shook their heads.

“Let it be like this. When we want to use it, it's not always with us.”

“We didn't bring it, but Dr. Bravestone might. Try asking him.”

Marta said.

“Um, excuse me, Doctor, do you have your cell phone with you? I'd like to borrow some, please."

Bravestone was walking alongside Ruby, followed closely by Finbar, who kept looking left and looking back.

“Is it a mobile phone? ”

“Yes, do you have a mobile phone? ”

" What is it? ”

“Ah! Don't tell me that Doctor doesn't know cell phones.”

“I guess it's some kind of communication device, right? But I don't have anything like that. And is there a Ruby? ”

Ruby turned around and shook her head, her eyes narrowing.

“As for you, it's probably the same, right? ”

Bravestone turned to ask Finbar, who received the same answer as Ruby. As Bethany stood there confused, not knowing what to do, Spencer reached out and gently tugged on her arm.

“I think right now we're in a game where the backdrop is the jungle in Peru. And if I'm not mistaken, that means Everyone we see here is just a game character so they don't know their phones.”

“Actually, we were sucked in while playing board games.”

Marta added.

“Oh, great. Now we'll definitely be stuck in here for a long time.”

“But it doesn't mean there's no way.”

Spencer said.

“Oh, yes, last time we had to take back the jewel and lift the curse. But this time it's not the same. Because we don't even know anything.”

“Wait a minute, do you remember before we were sucked into the game screen there were letters that said something… written: You must wait in the forest. Until you find the seal seal cave.”

Marta said.

“Hey, is there something wrong? ”

Bravestone, seeing that Bethany was yelling and crying, asked.

“No, Doctor. I suspect it's because the weather here is quite hot. My friend lost his mind a bit.”

“So? Hold on a little longer. In front of you is a small stream. We can go rest there first.”

“Very good.”

“Now listen, all we have to do is... Find that cave.”

“Oh, the forest is so wide. If we're talking about caves, there probably isn't just one cave that you can easily find.”

“Then we'll have to rely on another character.”

“Who else is there? ”

“Did you forget Professor Oberon?”

“Uncle Tuta studies fossils that don't have that toughness? ”

“And he's also an expert at reading maps.”

Meanwhile, Bravestone's group was walking through the forest to reach the water source ahead. Not far away, in the shadow of a bush, a pair of eyes were staring at them. It was actually General Killer's soldiers who were secretly following him. Meanwhile, General Killer was following behind in a camouflage military jeep.

The scouts were ordered to observe only from a distance. Not long after, Bravestone, who had walked in front of him, stopped on a long ridge of high and low rocks before he turned around.

“Alright, let's take a break here first.”

And what is not far from this point is a stream which is quite wide. The clear water flowing slowly and the gentle breeze creating a truly relaxing atmosphere. As everyone dispersed to find temporary places to rest in various places, Bravestone lowered his head and scooped out water with his hands to wash his face and eyes.

But then his eyes caught sight of a dome-shaped camping tent on the other side of the stream, and if it was General Killer's soldier's tent, then it must not be good, so he walked. go explore Once he had crossed the shallow stream, he noticed that the tent was empty except for the neatly placed supplies and luggage.

Behind him, the shadow of a person was silently approaching with a thick piece of wood in hand. Meanwhile, the owner of the log lifted up the stick in hopes of hitting him on the head, but I don't know if he was careless or not, causing him to accidentally step on a dry leaf, causing a loud noise. This caused Bravestone to shake and he turned around before he was able to use both hands to block the stick from the other person's hand.

“Ah! Doctor Bravestone Is it you? ”

"Professor Oberon"

“I'm sorry. I thought it was them.”

“You mean General Killer's soldiers? ”

“Yes, almost gone? But what are you doing here? ”

"Come and work."

“Really, I forgot.”

“Professor, since when did you know General Killer? ”

“Don't call it knowing, call it being forced to know. Two months ago, while I was studying the geography of South America at the time, I was invited to a seminar with two other colleagues, and there I met a very friendly person. He also has a leadership personality. It didn't take long for us to get to know each other. He invited me to work with him. I asked what kind of work.

It's a job related to preserving old places so that no one can destroy them, like this, he answered.

“And after that? ”

“When I worked with him for a while, I realized that he really wasn't the person I thought. He is a very cold person. cruel heart Seeing human life like a vegetable, like a fish If you think of killing someone, you can kill them immediately. When I thought of separating myself, it was already too late.”

“Then Professor, how did you escape? Or do you have someone to help you?”

“Someone didn't know how to break in there. I'm still confused about this because it happened so quickly and I took advantage of the moment when the chaos was happening and secretly escaped by mixing with the released captives, causing me to escape. You can come here.”

“Oh, just like this.”

Afterwards, Spencer told Bravestone that he and his friends were searching for a way home, which was very far from here, and the only way to get them home was in a cave called the Seal Cave. Symbol: When Bravestone listened, although he was confused by the story that Spencer had told, he volunteered to find such a cave. Therefore, there needed to be an expert in this area besides himself. And Professor Oberon was another person who was invited to join this journey of discovery, and

Meeting Professor Oberon again makes Spencer, Martha, and Bethany feel even more hopeful. As for Professor Oberon, who heard about the cave It surprised him because he thought he was the only one who knew about this. To him, it was like an important discovery. The professor revealed to everyone the information he had studied along with the map he had hidden, clearly indicating the location of the cave. Seal Symbol Cave or Phayakkha Cave.

It is rumored that many secrets are hidden in this cave. And one of the secrets is the enormous power that General Killer desires. To enter this cave, one must pass through a bamboo forest with a complicated mechanism. But this problem didn't seem too difficult for Professor Oberon, who had studied the map before.

Therefore, he volunteered to lead Bravestone's group there, and in a short time they were able to break through the bamboo forest, but everyone in the group didn't know that another group was secretly following them. Came quietly after passing the winding path for some time. Finally, what Spencer and his two friends were looking for appeared in front of them. Next to it was a cave entrance, which had the appearance of a vertical rectangular stone archway, and at the top of the archway was a figure. There is also a half-length serpent carved into it.

“Is that what you are looking for? ”

Professor Oberon asked as he stood in front of everyone. Spencer slowly followed along with Marta and Bethany. They weren't sure what it was but the tiger sculpture at the top of the cave entrance had something to do with it. It was somewhat similar to the time they had to put the jewel back in.

“I think it is, Professor.”

Spencer said, taking Marta's hand and walking closer to her. Professor Oberon looked back with a smile on his lips.

“Okay, what does the game say? You must wait in the forest until you find the Seal Cave. If that's a real cave. So what do we have to do next? ”

Bethany said.

“A game? What game? ”

Professor Oberon asked while Bravestone and Ruby just shrugged.

“I think all the answers lie in the cave. And the only way for us to know is to go inside.”

spencer said

“Are you kidding? It's a dark cave like that. Besides, we don't know what's inside. And I bet there must be ten bats.”

“Even if that's the case, we have to go in anyway. As for bats, I am also afraid, but this time we are not the only ones here.”

“Oh, right, I forgot, we're accompanied by a powerful hero and another female fighter.”

“Don't worry. If there's anything, I'll be there to help you.”

Marta added, and her words brought Bethany some comfort.

“Alright, everyone ready? ”

Bravestone asked, and the answer he got was a nod from the Spencers.

“Then let's go in.”

Then everyone walked through with Brave Stone leading the way. The atmosphere inside this cave was quite humid, combined with the low and high cave ceiling, making walking in not very convenient. How much time had passed was unknown until they all came to a stop in a wide open space. If you looked around, you could see that the inside of this cave was curved, almost circular in shape. The three walls also have symbols of lions, rhinos, and elephants.

“Look, why do I feel familiar with the carvings on the cave wall?”

Bethany said

Spencer suddenly walked away from the group, heading towards the cave wall with the symbol.

“Spencer, what are you doing!? ”

Marta's voice asked, almost a whisper.

“It is not strange that she is used to it. Because we had the same thing in our hands before.”

“Can you explain it a little more easily? ”

“The characters, these symbols are like the carved stones we use in the Jumanji board game. And maybe it has something to do with it.”

“The lion, rhinoceros and elephant are three animals that are both leaders and powerful. When we come together, wonderful things will happen. There are characters written here.”

Professor Oberon said while standing in another corner of the cave.

“Eh! Really, Professor? And did he write anything else?”

Bethany said before hurrying forward. As for Bravestone and Ruby, they could only observe their surroundings. As for Finbar, he was no different from the two of them.

“I'm not quite sure. But there seemed to be letters written faintly on it. Place the three carved stones on the platform to open the way.”

“A carved stone, that's right, it must be.”

“You already know? ”

Marta asked.

“When we first started playing board games, each person had a different character, mine being a lion. Bethany is a rhino and Marta is an elephant. I think it might be a key or something that can take us home. Wait a minute.”

Then Spencer reached into his pocket.

“It should be in here. Or will you drop it?”

“Is there something wrong? ”

“Well, my character, I don't know where it's gone. I remember I put it in my pocket.”

“Then take mine instead first. Here it is.”

“Great, Marta. Now we just need to find a place to put the carved stone.”

“Wait a minute, where did you get this carved stone? ”

Professor Oberon asked.

“It came from the game we played. I also have one. And Marta and Spencer have one each.”

Professor Oberon looked puzzled and surprised. Far away from where Bravestone's group stood, another group of people was hiding in a dark corner.

“Remember, those kids actually know about the legend of this cave as well.”

“Do you want me to go arrest them? ”

“Don't wait for them to find the location where the seal was used first.”

“I know.”

“Where are you? ”

Spencer tried to observe the surrounding area of ​​the symbol. But they still couldn't find a place where they could place the carved stone. Meanwhile, Marta, who was standing on the other side, said something.

“Uh, you take a look over here. I think it's strange.”

Spencer heard this and hurriedly walked over to where Marta was standing. It looks similar to a rectangular altar. At first glance, it doesn't look any different from stalagmites and stalactites that occur naturally, but if you look closely, it's probably created by humans. Because the corners around the stone base looked smooth, and the top area was also carved into a criss-crossing circle, and what made Marta feel annoyed was that In the center of the circle there was a rock sticking out as if it were some kind of mechanism.

“I think it looks like a latch that opens some kind of mechanism.”

“Um, it's true what you said.”

Professor Oberon added. Walking over, he stood nearby along with Bravestone, Ruby, and Finbar.

“Then we have to try pressing it.”

Before anyone could say anything, Spencer reached out with one hand and touched the stone, and with the touch of his finger, the stone suddenly reacted, slowly collapsing into the socket along with the person. Cave that shakes

“Look at that! ”

Bethany said.

A lion, a rhinoceros, an elephant, the three stone sculptures were initially motionless. At this time, it had begun to split open as if it had been cut through by a sharp object, until small pieces of stone had fallen and scattered. Deep within the sculpture, there was a narrow path that was only for one person to walk on, and it was right. Bordered by a reasonably wide hole, the path leading into the end had one slender stone platform, or that is, a lion had one platform, a rhinoceros had one platform, and an elephant had one platform.

“Let's go in and have a look.”

As Bravestone's group was about to head towards the iconic statue, they were blocked by General Killer's soldiers who had hidden themselves. along with holding Marta hostage General Killer, who had appeared, declared that this was his victory and ordered Spencer to hand over the remaining two stones, but Spencer replied that even if he had the stones, he still would not. It was complete because there was still another lion stone missing. General Killer laughed loudly and said, "Don't worry, the stone was already in my hands." The Bravestone side tried to convince General Killer. Ler turned around and repented.

But his request seemed to be completely in vain. When the situation reaches a critical level Plus Marta's life is at stake. Spencer was forced to give the rhinoceros and elephant carved stones to General Killer. But what were General Killer's tactics like? Bravestone could guess because they had once fought together. Whenever Eliotwell got what he wanted and whatever else he didn't want, he had to be discarded. General Killer was gazing at the three carved stones with delight.

Bravestone gestured to Ruby to take action against General Killer's soldiers. Until finally being able to save Marta But the big problem still lies with General Killer. who now possessed an engraved stone that would grant him unfathomable power. And the only way to get the three stones back is

It depends on one person: Dr. Smolder Bravestone.

“You haven't won, Wells, as long as I'm standing here.”

“Oh, not yet? Have your eyes gone completely blind? Can't you see that I have all the carved stones in my hand?”

“That stone is not important at all. Do you know why? Because I'm on the opposite side of you. And I still haven't been wiped out. Even if you get that stone You still haven't won.”

“Fine, if that's what you want. I will use this cave as your grave.”

The two then fought with the three carved stones not far away and the only way to take them back. That is, only to cross General Killer's corpse. How much time would pass is unknown as the two men's battle continued amid the Spensers' anxious watch.

This time it seems that Bravestone is Having an advantage over General Killer in strength, he advanced, driving the other party into the heart of the narrow and dangerous passageway, which was surrounded by a deep pit that was like a chasm.

“Stop it, friend. I can accept defeat.”

“There is no way unless I die first.”

“But those kids need that sculpture more than you.”

“And who cares about those kids? If I gained power, I would be able to raise my army to tens of thousands, even hundreds of thousands of men. And this time, no one will be able to stop me.”

The longer the two fought, the more fragile the ground they stood on. At one point in the fight, one of General Killer's legs slipped, causing him to slip and fall off the ground. Standing, Bravestone was able to hold his arm in time even though Bravestone wanted to help. But the arrogant General Killer didn't want to accept help this time. He let his body fall into the bottomless pit while shouting out that he would come back and take revenge on Brave. Please stone me.

This made Bravestone heartbroken at the loss of his friends. When General Killer was defeated, the soldiers under his command were leaderless and dispersed. Spencer and his two friends, who now had their own tombstones in hand, were ready to return home. They took the tombstones and placed them on the stone pedestals in different places. And as soon as the carved stone was placed on the pedestal, it emitted a glow of its own. Then the figures of Martha and Bethany faded away until they disappeared, leaving only Spencer standing.

“Thank you, Doctor, for everything you have done to help me.”

“It's okay, this isn't because I did it alone. She also participated. Just let us all work together.”

“Goodbye, Doctor.”

" goodbye "

Bravestone and Spencer shook hands in farewell. Spencer then stepped onto the stone platform and placed the lion-shaped stone into the socket. He turned his head and looked at Bravestone again. Bravestone smiled before speaking.

" meet later "

Those were the last words Spencer heard before his body slowly disintegrated.

Spencer, Marta, and Bethany returned to the time ten minutes before they had encountered the antique store, and the three of them didn't even bother to step inside the store. While the sky was still clear and a gentle breeze was blowing, the three of them went on a happy vacation with Bethany as their tour guide. As for the feud between Spencer and Marta, I don't know what happened before.

But now that they both understood each other well, Spencer no longer thought of himself as a sickly weak person. He just wanted to be a nerd like Marta liked. And the best is Being ourselves is who we are.

(finish)

When the first day of school arrived, Spencer was as flustered as ever and made an appointment with Fridge to travel to school together. The two walked and talked like close friends, or you could say they were starting to get close, and at that moment, a red Lamborghini passed them before suddenly stopping. Then he slowly backed up until he reached the point where the two were standing.

“Excuse me, do you guys know this school? ”

The driver rolled down the window just enough to free his hand before holding out a piece of paper. Spencer, who was confused at first, reached out to take it and unfolded it.

“Oh, I know. It's right here in front. Drive another two blocks and you're there."

“Thank you.”

This time, the driver lowered the window almost all the way down, and the face that Spencer saw was A bald man wearing tinted sunglasses smiled before he got out of the car.

"Uh, wait a minute, I have something I'd like to ask."

That's all he said and then he stopped as if he was hesitating. The bald man who was in a hurry spoke up.

“If you have anything you want to ask me. I'm in a hurry. Here's my business card. If you have anything, please contact me at any time."

Finishing his speech, he handed his business card to Spencer and smiled again before the car drove off. Spencer received it. On the business card there was a message: The professor of archeology at the university . . . and the name on the business card was Dr. Smolder Bravestone. Spencer looked up and looked at the car. Until it's out of sight
