The brownish paper rolled neatly with purple tape has now been opened. There is a puzzle consisting of three sentences. We have to solve this puzzle to get our next clue. The faster the puzzle is solved the faster the prize awaits at the end of the game. The guess is...
"IT'S NOT STUFFED, IT'S NEVER EXHAUSTED, BUT I'M ALWAYS SPILLED."
We started racking our brains to break this puzzle. What is never filled, never exhausted but always spilled? I saw another group, among them had solved the puzzle and started to move. Only a few more groups including our group were still in the front yard of the inn.
"What does that mean?" nic did not understand.
"We have to solve this puzzle to get the next clue" Evan chanted that he got a one-shot reward from Nic.
"Don't start!" nic's bully with clenched hands.
We just shake our heads to see their behavior. Evan still rubbed his aching head.
"Hm... What is never filled, never exhausted but always spilled?" Sofia repeated the sentence while playing her finger on the cheek.
"If it is never filled it will definitely not run out" Nic said in his mind.
"Then how can it spill?" my answer made him scratch his head which I made sure didn't itch.
"It's pretty hard. Ah... I'm not very good at solving puzzles," Kevin starts to get confused looking for answers. She squeezed her hair because she was upset that she could not solve this puzzle.
"Maybe the answer is a waterfall" said Evan suddenly who made us flinch.
"Good work Evan. You're very clever" we said together when we heard Evan's reply.
"Hehe... You guys just found out. I am very smart. You guys should be lucky I'm with your group..." Evan continued to babble boasting until he realized that we were far ahead of him leaving him. "Hey... Wait...!"
20 Minutes walk we finally arrived at the waterfall area. We began to search the area for clues. Seemed ineffective enough, we split up to find him. I went downstream while Nic was downstream of the river. Kevin was downstream and Sofia was down across, to get there they jumped from rock to rock. If Evan was looking at the top of the waterfall.
I watched every branch of the tree in case the clues were caught there, the thickets on the left and the riverbed. I've been walking down this road for a long time I've found nothing. I hope the others find a clue. When I was about to return, there was a dazzling light reflection right into my eyes. The light came from the riverbed.
Tampa thought long I plunged into the river which turned out to be 2 meters deep. Seen from above the surface as if it were shallow. It fooled his name. I reached for something that reflected the light earlier. It was a bottle with paper in it. This bottle is tied with a stone so as not to be carried away by the current and also does not appear on the surface. The teachers really wanted to do it. After removing the rope I swam back to the surface just as the others followed.
"Oh my God, the noni are looking for a hint of swimming," said Nic as he placed both hands on his waist.
"Would you have found the clue?" I'm still in the river.
"No. None of us found anything" Kevin explained after looking at each other.
"Thank you to me for getting it" I got out of the water and handed the bottle to them. I squeezed out my wet clothes from the smudge earlier.
"It's a map" Kevin said as he unrolled the paper.
"But only partially," Sofia said later after taking a closer look at the map.
"Where are some of them?" ask Evan to the others.
"How do we follow this map? It might lead to the next map, "Nic suggested.
"OKAY. Come on," Kevin's leading the way.
"Rin don't you change your clothes first?" taya Sofia to me who's still trying to dry my clothes.
"Could have?"
"You can catch a cold."
"Cannot be. I'm hot anyway" I said as I walked through Sofia.
"...?"
We have been walking down the road for half an hour, but have not yet reached our destination. Is the map right? My clothes are almost dry on my body. It's so hot today. Sweat incessantly flowed from my forehead to my chin, I blocked it with my hands. Although the wind itself was blowing, shady trees with a little sunlight entering through the cracks of the leaves are still not enough to dispel this heat.
"Could... Can we take a break? I'm not strong anymore" I said with intermittent breathing. I was a few meters away from them.
"You look like Rin's messed up" Evan said as he turned to me.
"Who would the weather be so hot here" I woke myself up in the tree. My legs can no longer hold my body.
"Hot?" nic's face looked confused.
"Are you sure it's overheating? It's Rin's mountain range" asked Kevin.
"You see me sweating" I pointed at my forehead. "Is this the characteristic of cold people?"
Evan nodded slowly. "It's weird you said it was hot."
"We should rest first. After all, we've been running for half an hour" said Kevin.
It's a little weird. This heat was different from the heat from the stinging air, as if the heat was overflowing from my body. Something's wrong, instead of disappearing why it's becoming. The pain is now attacking my chest, making me bend a little. When I blocked the sweat from being bent and my neck, I realized that my own clock was ringing.
What's?! Isn't it usually night? Why is it suddenly like this? "Stt.." The pain came up again, I grabbed my shirt with the pain.
"Rin, are you okay? You have a lot of sweat" asked Nic, looking worried.
"No. L'm... Fine," I tried to stand up straight with a trembling body.
"Don't lie to Rin. Your face is very pale."
"Yes, yes, I'm sure I'm fine" I walked slowly away holding onto a tree. My left hand was still clutching my shirt.
"Where are you going?" ask Kevin.
"You guys come first and I'll catch up" I told them. I had to find a place as clean and far away from the possibility of someone approaching.
"I'll catch up with her," I didn't realize that Sofia was following me.
"Sofia too."
I can no longer step. With trembling legs I fell into the grass. The heat became more and more painful as if my body was starting to melt. I grabbed the weeds around me trying to find a handle to endure the pain. Actually I don't know what's going on. But for sure when my watch starts to sound I will experience this suffering. Even if it's only a few minutes but it will have a bad impact around me when I wake up.

"I'll catch up with him."
Sofia immediately runs in search of Rin who quickly disappears. Feeling quite far away and he also lost track of the theme, Sofia stopped for a while under the tree to release the lela. Suddenly Sofia gasped in shock at the sound from behind the bushes that were right behind her, then she turned her head. With fear he ventured closer to the source of the voice.
The figure turned its head when it realized that someone was approaching. The white-haired, wolf-humped creature with shiny canine teeth exposed to the sun, growled ferociously at Sofia. The creature stared intently like seeing prey. Sofia just kept silent to notice that figure. He recognized the hairpin that adorned his head. The same hairpin that Rin wore.
"Rin is that you?" sofia asked carefully but the figure did not reply. He just kept on snarling at Sofia. "I've found something strange about you. Why didn't you tell me?"
Instead of answering or gesturing, Rin mala stood slowly toward Sofia while baring her sharp fangs. Sofia who was looking at it retreated slowly and did not realize the abyss was waiting for her behind. For Sofia's quick response when one lump of land as little as she incandescent fell into the abyss. Sofia just glanced down looking at the ground that was destroyed unceasingly.
"Sherina...!! Its me... Do you recognize me?!"
Rin just kept moving forward growling. Saliva dripped from the cracks of his teeth. Sofia who started shaking could not go anywhere anymore. He just hopes by calling the name of his theme that he can realize it. Unfortunately no. Rin mala is getting violent. Rin's warning tampa suddenly jumps towards Sofia with a gaping mouth trying to poke a stranglehold on her non-pinkling prey.
Sofia tries to avoid the left. Rin, who was unaware of the ravine, fell free to hit the rocks that were waiting for him. Sofia was shocked at what had just happened, with her body still trembling she looked down at the abyss. Right there lies Rin's body that has returned to its original form with his head covered in blood.
"Sherina ! ! ! !" sofia's shout echoed throughout the mountains.
Kevin, Evan and Nic who heard Sofia's cry rushed towards the source of the sound. In addition to them there were also several other groups who rushed over. Until there they only found Sofia lying on the ground looking down at the ravine with a face full of tears.
"Sofia.." call Nic who immediately approaches him and holds Sofia in his arms.
"Everybody turn on your SOS beacon now!!" kevin shouted after seeing the tragic thing.
There is nothing to ask and explain for now. Everyone who numbered around a dozen immediately shot their SOS beacons into the sky. Seeing the beacon signal that appeared so much in one place made the school administrators and lodging employees quickly approach. Kevin, Evan and a few other students try to get down to the ravine to check on Sherina. The reinforcements arrived on time. After 2 hours Rin was finally evacuated and immediately rushed to the hospital.
Sofia was too shocked at what happened, she could not explain anything when the teachers asked. The teacher understood that and let Sofia calm down first. Sofia constantly turns on herself. If only I hadn't come closer maybe Rin wouldn't have ended up like this. At least that's what keeps turning in his head. Sofia didn't tell anyone about the whole incident. He was confused as to what to say until everything passed by itself. When he found out his best friend had been out of the hospital, he was very happy to mix with fear. Afraid that his best friend will be very angry with him because all these events began with him.
