The video took it's time to load which only increased our anxiety. Von kept glancing at me as if asking what to do next? And I had no idea over what really needs to done.

It was a video of Akira's mom and dad. They were briefing the experiment that took place. The video made no sense to use but then it pointed towards something which we understood.

The ceiling had a drive in which the all the information regarding the experiment was stored. But in order to receive that we would have to break a part of the ceiling which may or may not cause the entire roof to collapse on us, considering the condition of the rooms.

We replayed the video in case we heard something wrong but it was needed to be done in order retrieve the true process of the experiment. I don't know if Akira would be happy about it or not but that we will deal after moving out of this forest.

"So, what needs to be done next?" Von asked with his voice laced with fear of something I am not quite aware about.

"Do you have a depth detector or something that can detect where something is different?"

"No, I don't have one now because I never knew that we would even ever need it here but there is a different way in which we can find out the correct spot."

"And what is that?"

" We will have to go on the roof for that."

"And why is that because I definitely don't want to climb those stairs which would crumble beneath any moment."

"Either we do it or we don't get we want. Exception if you want to collapse the whole room and possibly lose the drive

"Fine."

I made my way out of the room as Von followed behind me. We decided that only one person will climb at a time and then the other.

I went first. The stairs creaked more with every step. Call me weird but I hate climbing stairs which are on verge on collapsing and creak with every step that you take.

Von followed after me and in no time we were on the roof.

"So,how are we supposed to detect that?"

" Tap and listen to the sound. It will have a even sound with literally no resonance but if the roof is hollow at some point that it will create a different. Like the sound when you strike something hollow from within."

I nodded my head in understanding. "And who is supposed to do that?"

"Of course you will do it Hardy because I am not in mood to break my knuckles by tapping it continually on the floor."

"Such a softie." I teased him but he just ignored me.

I always thought that guys who have their fingers running over a keyboard for the whole day can do nothing in form of physical exercise but after seeing Akira my opinion changed drastically and I realised that I was very wrong.

It took whole twenty minutes before I finally found the sound similar to tapping at something hollow. My knuckles we red from all the tapping along the hard surface but I will take full advantage of what I found. I won't let Akira have it before I and Von understand each and every part of it.

The surface wasn't too hard to break. There was a box in the hollow space. Von peeked over my shoulder as if there was a bomb placed in it.

I opened the box and as per my expectations there was only a pen drive in it. Which,to my great disappointment, we currently were in no situation to go through it's contents.

Von took the drive from my hands and fumbled with it as if it was something which didn't belonged to this world.

"I bet that it have a password on it because there is no way that they would have left it to be accessed it by any random person who finds it."

"That's for sure but I think that it again will have something to do with the concept of 'The mysterious nine'. It's something with which two generations are obsessed with."

"This really is something. I once hacked in the data center to find what the hell was that but the results were completely shocking."

"And what was the outcome?"

" There were many files and videos regarding it a few decades back. It was something that every person knew but, a two decades  ago a person with no identity, or probably his identity wasn't found removed each and every trace of it.

No matter the information was online, in papers, videos or even in anyone's mind, the information was removed. There was no trace of who the person was but I have a feeling that it had something to with this family only. I know it's weird but I feel that way for it."

"But why would anyone do so? What could it be that they removed its name from the whole Earth?"

"If we knew than why would we be using logics instead of the truth. But one thing is for sure, that everything in this family revolves around the notin of The Mysterious Nine. There are so many passwords used on this island and nearly ninety percent of them we related to this."

" So, basically if we got a hold of the book Suzy mentioned earlier then we could access everything we want. Just one book and all the truth can be in front of us."

" But I don't think so that Akira would have left the book in the library after what Suzy did. I don't know if we will be able to access it. I think Andy knows about it but he is the same as Akira on issues like this.

Earlier he told us what we needed but after we have directly started working for Akira, everytime I ask him something, there is only one reply, ask form Akira and Akira is never going to answer us anything.

I don't know what she is expecting from us considering the fact that she tells us nothing."

"I think we should start moving from here before it gets dark and more importantly the only sense of direction we have now is the castle and after we head out of the clearing we will lose that too."
