The Player's System

Crow Bone

The direction was bit in the distance. The big pillars welcomed them ever after they passed a hall. The polished tiles of the floor were dusty. It seemed like they were waiting for halls to get cleared one by one.

They witnessed how the gallery and its art pieces were shining clean when they last visited it for the ability. They were sure that someone much have cleaned the mess created by Red Ink.

It was true. The halls those were cleared now resumed their lush condition. The script hall was no more in the mess. The files and the documents were placed in order. The staff was working however they were ordered not to bother the special teams.

The broken glass boxes were replaced in the script hall. The newly released chart of the hall had some changes for the onlookers. When the teams entered in the portal, the spectators saw the halls and their rotten condition. Now the four halls resumed clean and clear appearance. It was evidence that the museum administration was awake.

The developers created this fourth level according to the original settings of the museum. The before and after images were only released for the interest of the spectators.

Team members were thinking about the task. They mostly considered about the introductory term used in the clue. It was natural that made them mull their brains over the clue. Now they were thinking about the name of the Hall.

"Soil Hall has the Crow Bone. Why it seemed fishy? Crow Bone should have placed on the table so that team could get it easily and destroy, why they created hall for bone?" Albert asked. He was connecting two different things in his head. The name Soil Hall already picked his interest.

The team members remained silent. They surveyed the last row of pillars. After this row, there stood the hall.

Junan turned to answer, "It is here. You are free to explore your questions." He gestured half of them to remain alert. It was fifth Task. Third team already occupied four task.

The opponent might not snatch however they were getting desperate with each task. This might lead them for forceful actions. considering this possiblity, Junan ordered Sashi, Jake and Orin to remain alert.

Rest of them entered in the hall. There were signs that opponent didn't reach the hall yet however there was no worry even if they reached.

There were several small mountains of the brown soil. The big and small mountains were irregular. Albert took deep breath. The soil had the freshness of the normal soil however the visible small parts of the bones were strange. All looked similar.

"Apart from the size of the soil heap, The hall seemed the copy of single soil heap. Why all bones appearance is similar?" He walked to grab one bones, the half part of it was visible on the heap of soil.

As he tried to pick the bones, something invisible forced it back. Since Albert wanted to pick it without much effort, he ended up empty handed.

Albert stood speechless. Apparently the Soil Hall was silent and peaceful. Never in his dreams he expected this to happen. Junan saw the situation. It was clear as day that this task would burn the cells of their brain.

Ahram and Clark stood shocked. "There are several half visible bones. All of them planned to hide?" Clark walked toward another bone. His intentions were to forcefully pull out this bone. The situation turned awkward. Clark pulled the bone however it didn't come out. He was afraid to let go.

Sweat appeared on his forehead in the struggle nonetheless he failed in his attempt. He was acting up immense force opposite way that made him fall back miserably.

"Heck. What type of curse is it?" He ranted. He always thought that his bulky stature and big biceps could turn the mountain upside down yet here he was unable to pull a bone from the soil.

It was made him feel ashamed of his workout in the gym. "Rest easy. Since it is haunted hall then the force might not work here. Think a way to solve this problem." Junan could understand his inner thoughts so he suggested.

Clark nodded. They needed to solve the backend problem in order to destroy the bone. "There are many bones, which one is haunted?" Ahram asked simple question that would be tough for answer.

Junan bent slightly to pick some soil, "Perhaps the haunted bone created so many copies in order to confuse players. First of all, it is necessary to find difference among these bones. I am sure there must be the real bone among them." Junan gestured.

He was trying to begin the search in the most simple way. At least it would give them some insight for the task.

They separately walked in the middle of soil hills. Not only the bones looked similar, the appearance of the hills matched as well. The hall was divided in the several subsections. All subsections have same traits. It seemed they ended up in the soil land yet the bones were there to welcome them.

Junan also tried to pick a bone. His intentions were different. He wanted to make sure that the haunted bone has some motives.

In his eyes, it was highly unlikely that the real bone also showed up to create some false assumption. By doing so he got to know that the haunted bone was trying to cook them with the confusion.

After spending some time they gathered to tell that all bones were same without any difference. It confirmed that the haunted bone has some plan. They recently faced this type of experience. The Red Ink tried to fool them. It was fate that he noticed her feet. Or else it was possible that it might have escaped at the same time.

He wished to get some clue how he should proceed with the ultimate search of the haunted object.

"Should we shovel soil in order to search the haunted bone. The apparent bones are fake for sure.." Clark suggested.
