The silence did not last long, as screams of pain could be heard.
*ARGHHHH!!*
At the place where the statue's sword landed, fresh blood was splattered everywhere.
Marzuki, who had previously run to save the three head researchers, however, he only managed to save Agus. However, it seed like Agus would not last long because almost half of his body was cut off.
"... SIR! SIR!! STAY WITH !!"
*Grab*
Agus, who seed unable to bear the pain he felt, held Taufik's hand.
"... Y-you Know It's Impossible for "
Agus said, then moved his other hand, which was holding his notes, to Marzuki.
"Here... Take... This, I have interpreted what is on the stone inscription, take this and bring it back to Mahesa... if you manage to get out of here"
Agus said once again; Marzuki then took the notebook, which was already full of blood splatters.
*Crack!*
Marzuki did not have ti to peek at the contents of the notebook, because the statue moved again.
Seeing this, Marzuki began to feel tense, he then looked up and saw that the spear the statue was holding was pointing at him.
"... Shit"
Marzuki then hurriedly moved, leaving Agus' body.
*Thrust!*
*BOOMM!*
The spear landed right where Marzuki was, Agus' body was nowhere to be seen, and there was only blood everywhere.
Silence filled the Great Hall again; however, suddenly, panicked screams began to be heard everywhere, mostly from the researchers.

Panicked screams and calls for help began to be heard, and so researchers even tried to push the stone gate, which was an impossible task.
Not having ti to recover from the previous Spear attack, now, Marzuki saw the Statue raise its hand holding the Sword again and imdiately point it at Alan who was frozen in place while staring at the blood splattered from the head of the researcher from the United States and Chile, as if he couldn't believe what he had just seen.
Seeing this, Marzuki imdiately shouted as loud as he could.
"ALAN!! MOVE!!!"
Hearing Marzuki's scream, Alan looked at Marzuki, then looked at the large sword that was heading towards him, but Alan didn't move at all, as if he had accepted the fate that was about to befall him.
*Swoosh!*
The sword slashed sideways straight at Alan, but even with this Alan still didn't move, which he had to be able to avoid.
*Splurt~*
"..."
With Alan's quick death, Marzuki could only stare silently at the remains of Alan's body lying on the ground.
The soldiers who saw Alan's death imdiately pointed their weapons at the statue and then shot at the statue.
With the screams from the researchers coupled with the sound of gunshots, the atmosphere beca even more tense, but none of the shots managed to do anything to the statue, not even a scratch.
Seeing this, everyone in the hall only thought about one thing, that all that awaited them was death.
Even Marzuki is no exception.
-------------
What happened next was nothing but carnage; the Statue went crazy; it used the sword and spear it held to charge blindly toward them, and with every slash of its sword and thrust of its spear, several lives were lost.
Blood was everywhere, and body parts were scattered everywhere.
Now only a few of them remain, and the Head of the Special Unique Unit from Chile is also among those few.
But during the attack, Marzuki realized sothing, that is, during the Statue's attack, he never moved from his position at all; seeing this, Marzuki shouted again.
"EVERYONE!! GET CLOSER TO THE WALL!!!"
Hearing Marzuki's scream, all the soldiers and several remaining researchers imdiately ran towards the wall.
And sure enough, after they all reached the walls, the statue's attacks stopped, and it returned to its original gesture.
Seeing this, they all imdiately took a breath of relief, which was also accompanied by cries from several people.
"... We shouldn't have done this research in the first place. That century was removed from history for a reason, and look now, we're stuck here waiting for our deaths and with no way out... This research is not even approved by the state... however, Sir Ivan is determined to do this, look at his fate now, he has beco a blood clot"
Said one of the researchers who is close to the head researcher from the United States, amidst his tears.
"... This is just a nightmare... This is just a nightmare"
A soldier muttered while holding his head with both of his hands.
It wasn't just the soldier who acted like that, Marzuki who looked left and right, encountered the sa sight.
This was completely unlike the Special Unit Soldiers that Marzuki knew; the Special Unit Soldiers that he knew were those who had strong ntalities and always remained calm no matter what the situation was because of the training they had gone through, but not like these. They look more like ordinary people who have received only minimal training.
There are even so people who seem to want to give up.
Actually, Marzuki also felt the sa way, however, rembering that there were people waiting for him to co ho, he remained firm in his belief that he would survive and would succeed in getting out of this place.
Marzuki looked at the statue and saw the inscription that the statue was holding, this made Marzuki rember the notebook that Agus gave him.
Marzuki then reached into his shirt pocket to take out the notebook, but before he could take it out, Marzuki heard soone's footsteps walking towards him, which made him imdiately turn his head towards the source of the sound.
And the person walking towards him was the Chief of the special unit from Chile.
"... Thank you for earlier, being able to find a chanism like that amid such a chaotic situation is truly an extraordinary thing... I rember we haven't introduced ourselves, my na is Lukas, can I sit next to you?"
Lukas asked, which was then only answered with a nod from Marzuki.
Seeing the cold treatnt given by Marzuki, Lukas only smiled faintly and then imdiately sat next to Marzuki.
After Lukas sat next to him, Marzuki didn't say anything and just took out the notes that Agus had given him.
"... You know, This research actually shouldn't have happened, Alan and I are actually forr Special Forces, we are all just people who have no goals, we ca here only because we were promised that if this research produces satisfactory results, we will be given a satisfying reward...
it was just an empty promise without any definite guarantee, but we did it anyway because we had nothing else to do... Are you in the sa situation too?"
"No"
Marzuki answered briefly while reading Agus' notes.
"ahaha~ I see, so the head researcher from your country must have high-ranking acquaintances in the military, considering he can move soone like you"
Hearing this, Marzuki stopped reading for a mont and then looked at Lukas to say sothing, but before they could open their mouths, they both heard gunshots.
*Bang!*
They both then looked towards the sound of the gunshot; there, Marzuki saw the soldier who had been muttering that all of this was just a nightmare lying on the ground with blood flowing out of his head, lifeless.
However, seeing this, none of them overreacted; they all just looked at the person with a normal gaze; perhaps their ntality was so damaged that they thought that this was a normal thing.
Marzuki did not look at the person who took his own life for a long ti, then went back to reading Agus' notebook, he also did not say what he wanted to say to Lukas earlier, and Lukas also didn't have a problem with it, then they both sat there silently, with Lukas leaning against the wall of the hall while closing his eyes and Marzuki who was still busy reading the notebook.
When Marzuki arrived at the page where Agus wrote the translation of the inscription, Marzuki then read it seriously.
What is written in the book is "He who reads this inscription is he who wants to know... curiosity is a curse and ignorance is a blessing, this note was left by him who wanted freedom, but he who "restrains" is too arbitrary... I wait for the chosen one, I give my all to the chosen one, including myself... for him who wants to know, when the conditions are t, he will know everything"
"..."
After reading the fragnts of words, Marzuki showed confusion about the aning behind the words.
'... the chosen one? Condition? what conditions?'
Marzuki asked in his mind, but instead of receiving an answer, he received a scream from soone.
"... IT'S MOVE! THAT THING IS MOVING AGAIN"
Hearing this, Marzuki and Lukas imdiately looked at the statue, and sure enough, the statue moved again.
*CRASHH!*
The statue dropped the shield it was holding onto the ground, making a thunderous sound.
He then moved one hand that was holding the bow and pointed it toward them, and the other hand that had dropped the shield moved to pull the bowstring that had no arrows.
But what happened next made them even more surprised.
