Chapter 2: (02. Sky Blue City)
The BLUE SAPPHIRE
(02. Sky Blue City)
20 YEARS LATER.
Matcha District, the center of Sky Blue City.
"Today I'm reporting from The King Hunter Museum, which is located in the Matcha district of Downtown Sky Blue City. As viewers can see, the surge in visitors wanting to enter the museum is overwhelming...."
A young reporter is broadcasting amidst the enthusiasm of the public waiting for The King Hunter Museum to open.
"They are eager to see the museum's newest collection, namely the Blue Sapphire which is so rare for the first time. It is rumored that this Gem was given by a gem collector whose identity is very secret. The King Hunter Museum has limited its first visit. That's why only 1000 people are lucky, who can see this Gem in person."
He seemed very enthusiastic and enthusiastic when doing his coverage. How happy he was to be one of the lucky 1000 people.
The King Hunter Museum, a building that has existed for around fifty years in the Downtown Sky Blue City. Standing on a land area of nearly one and a half hectares, the Museum has many valuable collections from various parts of the country. Such as paintings, sculptures and so forth.
Every year, The King Hunter Museum will receive valuable items, which will later become collections there. This year, The King Hunter Museum will introduce the Blue Sapphire Gem.
The gem is around 100 years old and is predicted to be the most expensive gem in the world. The reason why, The King Hunter Museum, was so crowded with citizens of Sky Blue City and its surroundings. Even though only 1,000 people are required to enter the Museum. However, the public can wait outside the museum to enjoy the bazaar that has been provided by the museum.
Reporters from all over the country flocked to The King Hunter Museum to do live coverage. One of them journalists from a local TV station (ABC), was interviewing the lucky visitors.
"How do you feel because you can see firsthand the latest collection from this museum?" asked the reporter to three visitors, who happened to be standing not far from him.
"Wow... this event is really amazing! Of course we are very happy because we are three out of a thousand lucky people who are here!" all three shouted almost simultaneously.
The reporter smiled faintly, also happy. However, it must remain elegant in front of the camera that is on.
"What kind of person do you think the Gem Collector is?" asked the reporter again, in order to enliven the atmosphere there.
"Of course the Collector is very wealthy. There's no way he could own the most expensive gems in the world. Certainly no one can match his wealth. I'm sure of that," answered one of the girls, who was being interviewed.
Next, the reporter pointed his mic at the other visitors.
"I don't know what kind of person the Gem Collector is, but according to the news I got, that collector is a Prince from a distant land. That's why he gave that Blue Sapphire Jewel to this museum!" he explained, suddenly making the reporter blink his eyes and raise an eyebrow.
However, the pretty Reporter's reaction didn't match the two girls who were being asked her opinion.
"Where did you get the news from?" he asked clearly curious.
"You can see it on The King Hunter Museum's fan page on the internet. Someone has made a statement that the collector is a Prince from a faraway land. Visitors who follow the fan page should know about this news."
The girl wearing navy blue contact lenses showed her cell phone to the reporter. The article was skimmed by the Reporter. He was completely gasped and lost for words. It seems a bit strange that information of this magnitude is disseminated from an unofficial site. What else is just a fan page? Think Report is like that.
"Indeed, the details of his identity are not yet known, but if true. Then I really want to meet that Prince!" the girl continued while screaming incoherently. Two of his colleagues followed.
"Okay, thank you for the information. Enjoy this event," said the reporter with a faint smile. While the three visitors immediately left after being satisfied mejeng in front of the camera.
The beautiful reporter, who is in her thirties, at least feels uncomfortable because the news circulating on the internet has not been proven 100% true. However, the visitors already believe it.
However, soon he focused on his reporting again. He looked at the camera which was still focused on him. Put on the best smile and calm back.
He saw a beautiful circular watch on his left arm as a mere preamble. "The museum will open in about five minutes. That means, viewers at home don't go anywhere because we will broadcast live, the latest collection from the museum will be introduced to the public..." he said, still focusing on the camera.
DWAAARRRRR ...
At almost the same time, a large explosion occurred, originating from inside the museum. The visitors who were in the area around the museum immediately scattered, including journalists who were broadcasting.
****
Fifteen minutes earlier. Someone dressed all in black, wearing a black hat as well, is infiltrating the museum.
He entered through the gaps in the windows on the museum balcony. From there he jumped into an empty room with no guards.
Because there is a new collection that enters the museum, the security there is tightened again. About five hundred security guards, from the police and bodyguards, were deployed to guard the museum.
The man took something out of his jacket. A small flat black object with a small light sensor above it.
The man grinned through the hat covering his eyes. "In a moment, this museum will become a museum of death!" he muttered, before finally sticking the black object on the wall.
He not only placed one, but there were two black objects there. After that he left the room. Look left and right first, to make sure none of the guards notices his presence.
He walked quickly south. He saw the first floor where the Blue Sapphire was placed in a transparent glass case. He grinned one more time.
The guards looked very serious. They have been equipped with sharp weapons, in the form of knives, pistols, stun devices and equipped with qualified self-defense as well.
"Is it safe there?"
"Yes. So far safe."
"Hmm, good. Stay alert and don't let your guard down, we have to stay alert for all possibilities. That's what Boss said."
"Okay. I'll go back to my place. You also have to guard your post again!"
The two security officers chatted for a while, before finally returning to their respective places.
One of them is guarding the back area, a location that is a bit weak guard. There were five people on guard.
BROUGHT ...
One guard collapsed to the floor without being covered in blood. Her eyes widened and her mouth opened wide, as if she wanted to say something, but didn't get to.
"Hey, what's wrong with you?!" The officer screamed, but before he realized what was going on, at the same time someone pushed him from behind.
Then, strong hands wrapped around his neck. As a result, he was unconscious with wide eyes too.
A smirk from the Assailant. He managed to paralyze five guards there. Eliminate them, at least for the next few minutes.
There are five black objects already stuck to the wall. He immediately ran back. As much as possible the entire room of the museum plastered with black objects.
Ahead there is a guard. The man in the hat immediately rolled over, then pulled the guard's body there and smothered him, until he was unconscious.
Another guard realizes his partner is missing. At the same time, the man in black grabbed her from behind as well. In two breaths he managed to incapacitate the two guards without much resistance.
He had installed three large objects in the area. Now there's only one place left to go.
He ran fast, but when he stopped a guard caught him.
"Hey, you!"
The man didn't panic at all. He ran towards the officer who was already pointing a gun at him. With a twisting leg in the air, he kicked the weapon out of the guard's hand.
he grinned, as the guard started to fight back. The guard's punching technique was still very weak. His movements were slow in the black clothed man's eyes.
BROUGHT ...
He hit the guard with his elbow. Once hit immediately unconscious.
"It's time." The man muttered while looking at his watch. Immediately he took out a small object like a remote, but it only had one big button on it.
He pressed the remote with his thumb. Instantly the whole room went dark.
The guards and museum staff fell into a panic. Because it was dark, they had difficulty walking properly.
"Quickly turn the light back on!" someone shouted.
They immediately turned on the flashlights on their cell phones.
BRAAAK ...
The sound of breaking glass was audible. The situation was getting panicked because bad possibilities could happen in a situation like this.
A few seconds later the light came back on by itself. However, the museum's newest collection is no longer in place.
The transparent glass case that protected him shattered into pieces. It's strange, why the sensors that surround the Latest Collection, don't sound.
"The museum's newest collection has been stolen. Quickly find the culprit!" shouted the bald-headed, stocky man to all the guards.
DWAAARRRRR ...
Before they could act a huge explosion occurred from the second floor.
DWAAARRRRR ...
Not long after, a second explosion occurred. Still coming from the second floor.
"Everyone get out quickly! The museum has been rigged with bombs!" shouted the bald-headed man again.
The First Disappearance of the Blue Sapphire is no longer an issue, the most important thing is now get out of the building, saving the life that is only one.
DWAAARRRRR ...
A third explosion occurred. Then, followed by the fourth, fifth to sixth explosions at almost the same time.
Those who happened to be on guard outside could still survive. While inside, must be trapped between the ruins of the museum.
The entire valuable museum collection was also engulfed by the red fire. The famous 'The King Hunter Museum' museum is now out of shape.
Intense black smoke billowed up high to make the Sky Blue City's sky dark. The visitors scattered, away from the area.
Not a few also became victims because the explosion was not once, but many times in close time.
While Sky Blue City was panic-stricken, there was one person who was casually walking around as if nothing had happened.
He walked leisurely past people who kept screaming for help, while juggling a small jewel-like object in his hand.
The same gem, which was in The King Hunter museum twenty minutes ago.
Could he be the thief? The mastermind behind the mess of The King Hunter museum?
