What's that?

At first glance, I was sure that it was an empty magazine of a gun, let me be more precise...

It was the magazine of Beretta 90two. Its origin was in Italy in the year 2006. It uses a cartridge of 9x19mm Parabellum.

Huh? How do I know that?

It just popped at the top of my head. It happened before. When I first entered the island I felt this same strange feeling earlier also.

What is happening to me?

Not only that, I don't want to say it, but a pair of fingers' are attached to it and a sole finger is lying apart from them.

Oh, fuck! That is not something I believed I would see here.

I can't remember it completely but periodically I would have this dream where I am talking with a person, not just any person. It has that unique aura, just by talking to him in my dreams I felt inferior to him.

The only thing I could heed attention to was a ring he wore in his left hand. To be more precise I couldn't even see his face, only his hands.

The ring had that peculiar design. The body of a dragon is attached to a blue background.

And now, most probably the same ring with the same design was lying here.

That's weird...

I picked up the empty magazine.

One thing that is bugging me is that it's empty... it's not that why there is a magazine at all. I already guessed that there would be something like that since they have already announced on those special conditioned tasks that there is a reward of arms and ammunition in one of them.

The problem is that why is it empty? If someone would have used it, it should have been loud enough for anyone to hear it on the whole island. But not a single loud noise was heard the entire time.

Is it possible that they would have used a silencer?

Again? How come I know about guns even though I haven't read or researched about them my entire life.

"Maybe I am thinking about it too much..."

I hid the magazine inside my shirt and returned to my new hotspot.

"Ehh... you got so many this early?" a certain girl called out to me.

"Why do you care?"

"Yes, you are right. I don't care, just wondering since I have so much free time." What free time? Even if she has a tent does she not want to eat food?

"Good for you," I said.

But I wonder where her tent is?

She is bare handed all this time so did she hide it somewhere near before coming here?

"So, where is your tent?" I had this little urge to know.

"Hmm... why do you care?" ha... she said the same line I said earlier.

"If you don't want to tell then it's okay. I was just wondering since I can be just fine in the wild at night without a tent."

"Hey, don't copy what I said earlier."

"Wasn't it you who started it first?"

"Argh...!"

"What? Got irritated with this much?"

"Fine. Why don't we just call it off?"

"... sure"

She was right. We might need to work together for two weeks if the situation doesn't change.

...

I set out the fire beside her tent.

Where did she find the tent? It was quite amusing if I could say so.

She earned the tent during the first task for completing the special conditioned task.

When they announced that everyone has to change their location they gave a special option only for them that they can store their tent inside the machine and later it would be available only after registering in a machine.

It has its advantages and disadvantages.

For transport purposes, it was beneficial for them since carrying such a big thing around would be tiresome. On the other hand, it was a problem for those who would not be able to acquire a hotspot. One could lose his asset easily.

"Don't you dare come inside you understand?"

"Yes, I understand. I will not come inside or even come near your tent without asking you. Is that okay?"

"I would never allow it but still... okay fine."

"What a troublesome girl..."

"What did you say?" did she hear me? I am sure I said it quite softly.

"Nothing. Maybe it's just your imagination."

"... is that so..." at least she is easy to fool.

...

Gradually the last ray of sunlight disappeared behind the leaf of a tree and it was again completely dark. But thankfully I had already prepared a fire so it made my surroundings more evident.

"So are you gonna sit here alone all night?"

"Do I have a choice?"

"If you plead enough I might let you in."

"No thank you." I have my dignity. It still hasn't stooped so low to plead for someone's favor.

"What's your problem? I was helping you."

"Is that what you call help then it's way off the mark, lady."

"Hmph...!" why does she look angry? I don't think I said something rude, on the other hand, she is the one who is rude, right?

...

Fortunately, nothing much happened last night. It was almost too quiet if I compare it to my earlier nights.

Maybe it's the first night of the task so they are hinting that something worse is going to come to be prepared and rest as much as possible.

"~HELLO EVERYONE! GOOD MORNING~" there it is, Mr. X.

Maybe I was right about the rest of the things I mentioned earlier...
