Chapter 40: Rainbow

"You might think I am bullying you so I will allow one person at a time to answer the question I have given you so that you would understand the arrangement!" Spoke again the elderly voice, but they could hear the soft laughter of a clown behind that voice.

"Let's play then..." Spookily said the elderly voice.

The beast-man was shouting but no sound could be heard.

Everyone's hands were formed into a fist.

"First question." Reigan seat lights up, almost blinding him. "Where do you think are you?"

Reigan brain suddenly went blank. "Huh?"

"Oh, we had a fool!" Mock the elderly.

Then a sound of crowd laughter was heard behind the scene, making Reigan's face hot.

The spectacle girl opened her mouth, there were even tears in her eyes. No hiding of insult could be seen in her face. She seemed to laugh but no sound could be heard from him.

The demoness smiled, there was laughter in her eyes.

Even the stupid egg light up twice to join the fray, making the embarrassed Reigan, feeling more ashamed.

"Stop laughing, ah. And you old man stop calling me a fool. I have 20 in intelligence!"

The ninja man, demoness, and armor man all sight was on him. Only the spectacle girl, Roland (laughing because everyone did so, in short just laughing along), and the cute egg who kept on lighting on and off.

Really infuriating ah!

"Okay, okay. So you actually opened the system intelligence, still, you didn't answer my question. Where are you?"

This the spectacle girl closed her mouth and stared at Reigan.

There were questions in their eyes.

Reigan felt that these people were waiting for him to make a fool out of himself, but the truth was far from what he thought. After all, none of them had open the intelligence in their profile status.

Although they didn't know what it uses for, they were certain it would be a big help in the future.

Just like the strength, agility, and luck that made for them easily to find rewards.

All of them, except the egg and Roland, were thinking of how to extract information out of Reigan.

Reigan on the other hand kept on thinking, he didn't notice that his broken soul nor body were not working up to harm him while he searched for the answer.

It was because, in this realm, their bodies health problem was healed for a while, but the memories that were taken wouldn't come back again, not until he was able to amend his soul and spirit.

Reigan kept on searching his memories and remembered what Lilia told her. "The orb where only the chosen by god could enter," Reigan spoke.

"Oh," replied the elderly voice. "Let go to the next person!"

Reigan was about to ask why didn't the voice said if he was right or wrong, but no voice could come out from his mouth just like everyone else.

"Let's go to the next person!" This time it was the voice of the clown that spoke.

Everyone eyed one another then gaze at the light.

Wasn't it just the elderly, how come there was a voice of a male clown?

They were wondering, but none knew the answer except the weird examiner. They just observe, for now, studying who would be next to answer.

"The second question!"

"Ouch! Hey, don't suddenly light up my place! Do you want a fight?! Let just fight this out than doing that stupid question!" Roland roared at the voice.

"Hahaha, no way! Musclehead, hahaha!" The clown laugh like a fool.

"Who are you calling muscle head?! My head not just had a muscle but even my whole body!"

"Oh, so I should call you a muscle body?"

"Yes! Hey, that one was really an easy question. Oh, I could speak now, cool!" Roland grinned making the egg giggled. "Ah, little one, your so cute. Where was your momma? If you want to, I could take care of you. I am very strong and there was a lot of cub in my place. Do you wanna come with me?"

The egg moved and faced Reigan then Roland, it shakes its body showing it didn't want to, making Roland rejected.

"Oh, trying to outsmart someone who was a been stupid since the beginning!" There was a tint of annoyance from his voice.

"Who are you calling stupid?! Ahhhh!" An electric current could see moving around th body of Roland, but what made it horrifying was the fact that even with how high voltage he felt, he was not losing consciousness.

Their face turned sullen.

They were reminded this game was not very friendly at all.

"10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1! Hey!" the clown voice giggled at the same time the electricity that torturing Roland stop, but he was still having a spasm. "So let's go to the question that all of the beastman knew."

Roland glanced at where the sound came but nobody of it could be seen. His brain turned numb but enough to still think.

"Why did the war between humans and beastmen start?"

Hearing this, the spectacle girl opened her lips then closed them, but those did not go unnoticed to those who were observing everyone.

Reigan was also wondering about that. The book he read was that before the humans and beastmen were once on good terms then suddenly the two were at war.

Roland hearing that starting his blood to boil. His eyes turned red while reminiscing something hateful. "Is that even a question?" the once happy-go-lucky voice was gone, this time only ferociously was left. "They betrayed us! They said they wanted to befriend us, but they took our women and did unimaginable things! They took our cubs and sell them to other races, making them slaves! They were traitors! The worst! Scums! They are the monster that should never exist! No matter what, we will eradicate them!" Then he eyed the spectacle girl and ninja man.

"Oh, ding ding ding! Correct!" Then the clown laughed as if getting the result it wants.

"Let's go to the third one." The elderly voice was heard, but the heavy atmosphere that the clown left stayed.

Reigan was silent and then glanced at Roland. 'So that's what the reason was.' He thought to himself.

The book said that beastmen and women were ugly. After all, they had a lot of hair on its body, which he knew because they were just furry.

And the beast woman was somewhat less hairy, just like the one he looks like when he was wearing that mask. They only had tails and ears that sprouting on their head, and their face had whiskeys, some of the females had the nose same as their animal character.

Reigan found them cute, but because the species were different from each other, the fairies found them ugly.

The light shone on the Ninja man this time, "The question was very simple." The elderly man spoke. "How many main camps survive during the apocalypse?"

The Ninja man turned silent. He wanted to answer 5, as he remembers that there were only five empires. The Central, Northern, Southern, Eastern, and the Western but then again who was certain that those five were the only ones that exist.

He remembered what his childhood friend once said, how could you be certain that all empire was seen on the satellite?

Then the Ninja man smirked and viewed directly at the light. "Six."

The elderly voice turned quiet. "Hahaha, and here I thought you would only say 5. Indeed there were Six."

The Ninja man beamed. "Then what was the six one?" He asked.

"Ah, why would I answer?" The elderly man asked, but another voice spoke, it was the clown but its voice was suppressed, still, they heard the word tribe.

The Ninja man turned silent as if thinking something. He then glanced at Reigan, but the next one light up at Roland again, giving everyone a surprise.

They didn't get it. Why was the light went toward Roland again?

They have been trying to deduct things.

Reigan chair was blue, and the floor where he was on the color yellow, but his wrist was red.

Then the second one was Roland, he was seated on a blue chair, the floor he was on was green, and his forehead has red on it.

The next one was the Ninja man whose chair was yellow, on the violet floor. Because you couldn't see the skin only the eye could be seen which was blue, but on the other hand, they had seen his eyes before he came in blue, or were they wrong.

This time it was Roland's turn once more.

The Ninja man knew about the rainbow colors but the last time the rainbow was seen was before the apocalypse.

No, it was before people suddenly gone out of nowhere.

Since then there was no rainbow. It was a reminder that the god abandoned them or maybe a punishment after killing a lot of innocent people during that time.

Still the thing about the rainbow was passed by the parents to their children hoping someday they could see it again.

Many had given up.

For them, they are already abandoned.

Although they were still able to live, the food source was starting to deteriorate, creating a group of hunters, but who knew how long would that last.

So many of the people in the Natural realm knew about the rainbow. Even the Ninja man knew it as he came from that realm, so he knew what color was on the rainbow.

The rainbow was colored from the top was red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet was the last.

"This is the last freebie question, and choosing." Happily said the clown, waking them up from thinking. "The question was this. How many gods are there under the god of species?!"
