Chapter 283 – Fest

Fest

The male gallery staff wore printed shirts and the pants with several random colors. Same went with the female staff wearing colored printed overall. They seemed representing their exibition hall with the help of their dressing.

It was suggested by the owner. He wanted to know how many were dishonest among several halls.

The people of script hall wore dim brown shirts with printed slogans of unknown language. The color of the shirts represented the old and rusted paper form. The staff from the script hall served tea on the tables. Duties were divided in the tea invitation.

There was staff from antique hall, Ancient Hall, History hall and several other halls respectively. Their appearance represented the identity of the Hall that which they belong.

Third team entered in the hall with the identity of the staff. Their weapons were taken for the time being. Those who possessed secret weapons like daggers and guns could still keep them.

Orin casted his eyes at the dress which clearly showed that he was a character come alive right from some painting. "The characters in other games buy gowns to show off while here we get what the developers wants us to get. I thank my ancestors that the developers didn't want me to pay tribute for this favor." He shrugged his shoulder.

Team members were randomly given identity of the halls. However there was no restriction that the particular hall staff should sit around the same tables reserved for them. They could walk leisurely and enjoy tea along with snacks.

Junan saw the entrance, few more staff members entered in the hall, it was clear that they were other two teams. There was no use of glaring them or following behind them. Junan would love to kill those dishonest staff members then get the Golden clue instead of troubling the troubled.

Junan gestured his players to listen carefully, "You should go in the circle staff of the respective halls, gossip with them, chat to collect information. If you notice any staff member with suspicious background, you should confirm your suspicion first before killing." He guided. "I do not want you to dispose off our hard earned quest perks. The opponent team members have entered in the hall, beware of them. You can easily recognize opponent team members by looking at their hands. They cannot hold tea like the other staff." Junan gave explanation before they set for the fest.

Any careless action could make them regret. It was necessary to not loss what they earned.

Team members nodded. They would like to remain neutral instead of damaging their reputation. Team members separated. They were heading toward the reserved tables. Junan went toward the script hall table. There were three tables for the script hall staff. The wooden tables were covered with the slogan printed dim brown cloth.

Few of the chairs were empty because the staff members were having conversation with the neighboring table staff. There was old caretaker of the staff. He was supposed to retire soon. The wrinkles on his face were evidence of his worn out years in the museum. Junan was attracted by his steady smile. He seemed carrying lot of burden on his heart. According to Junan, people those who keep steady smile wanted to hide something in real.

Following this theory, he wanted to know the hidden secret from the old staff member. The staff worked in three shifts so many of them cannot recognize each other apart from the uniform.

The old man laughed at some joke. The internee was talking about the event where the school organized the ending year party. The school owner exposed his meanness by disclosing several secrets in the middle of the party. It happened because a senior student happened to hypnotize him on his request.

Everyone around the table laughed out loud. They were getting acquainted with the internee although they met him today. Junan also joined in the conversation. "I met someone recently. He showed me two sides of the coin and asked which is the true side…" Junan waved his hand while speaking and got the attention of others.

They noticed his silence. Junan intentionally left the conversation unfinished. This grabbed their interest. "What were the two sides?" the same internee asked.

Others listened carefully. Junan relaxed on the chair, "The first side showed dark and the other side bear light." Junan put his hand on the table. Someone placed tea in front of him nonetheless he was not supposed to pick it up. He expressed through his actions that he was more interested in the conversation rather than the tea.

The internee slammed his hand on the table, of course the light side is true. What do you say good old man?" He added old man in the conversation. The old man nodded his head with the steady smile. "The light is true side just like the happiness is true side." He added his comment.

Other nodded. They also agreed. Then they looked at Junan, "What you answered him?" The internee asked. All of them wanted to know his answer because Junan didn't show any expression, not he agreed with them earlier.

"I answered the particular man that the dark side is true in my opinion. It shows the reality." Junan shook his shoulders knowing that others would disagree.

They were indeed looking at him with disbelief. The old man sitting beside turned his head to look at him, "I heard that those who says dark side is true are the followers of evil. Can you explain your reason?" The old man lost his steady smile for a moment then resume it in the next instant.

Junan nodded his head, "In my opinion the hidden and the secret is dark. So if I explain without beating words, the hidden secrets are the truths. One cannot blame them dark and untrue because they are after all true. Same goes with light. You cannot say it true because it shining bright, it can be a lie.. Do you dare disagree?" Junan asked the internee.
