Chapter 18 - The Mysterious SMS

Our character asked Anna what these photos were about.

****: Anna, what's in the planned photos?

Anna: Simple photos. Just fake naked pictures of people. Even someone with little experience could do this.

****: Alright.

After hearing this, our character didn't worry much about the matter and continued doing whatever they were doing.

[1-2 Hours Later]

Sophie: Hey, ****. We're going fishing at noon; everyone will be there. Are you coming?

****: Umm, okay. I'll be there. Our character decided to go fishing with the school as promised when noon arrived.

Guidance Teacher: Alright kids, we'll be fishing in groups. Everyone will be in groups of four. You need to find another group with your partner. You'll check on each other; everyone should be careful. Got it?

Sophie: Teacher, will you teach us how to fish? I don't know anything about this.

Guidance Teacher: Of course, Sophie. It would be hard to fish without teaching you. There might be some who know how, but I'll teach you when we get there. But before we arrive, let me tell you, kids, fishing requires patience. Don't forget that.

Savannah: Teacher, we haven't been able to contact our families for a day. When will we be able to communicate? I miss them.

Guidance Teacher: Oh, yes! I forgot to mention, kids. The phone reception is a bit weak there. Try your luck; maybe you can talk to your parents. Thanks, Savannah, for reminding me.

Our character arrived at the pier with the students and teachers and tried to learn how to fish.

(Finally arrived. It was a long journey. While talking, let me tell you this: We found two more people with Anna. One's name is Peter, and the other's name is Alexis. From what I heard, they've known each other for a long time. They must be around 7 or 8 years old. It seems to me that Peter takes on the role of a hunter in their relationship.)

Our character, along with Anna, Peter, and Alexis, fished all day.

(It was a terrible day; we couldn't catch a single decent fish. I got scolded by Anna for no reason. Even though we seemed like a group with Peter and Alexis, we didn't feel like one at all. There was barely any communication between us.)

After fishing, our character and the others started walking back to the camp. At that moment...

Ellie: What the hell! What's going on? Why am I getting so many SMS messages? From brands I don't even know... Plus, what's with Pornhub?!

Michael: Let me see your phone, idiot! You must have clicked on something wrong. I'll fix this.

Ellie: Michael, this has nothing to do with my stupidity!

Michael: What is this?! I don't understand anything; there's nothing I can do. Here, take your stupid phone back, Ellie.

Zoe: Guys, I think the same thing is happening to me. I'm getting weird SMS messages from sites I just heard of. What are these?

Oliver: The same is happening to me!

Lucas: It's happening to me too. What the hell is this? My phone is lagging; I can't access any apps!

Anna: What the hell? It's happening to me too!

Sophie: Guys, let's stay calm, please. I'm going to talk to the teacher.

Our character was unaware of what was happening. They were walking alone at the back of the group and went to ask Peter about what was going on.

***: Hey, Peter. What's happening? Why are people so worried? What's going on?

Peter: ****, I don't know either, but it seems like people are getting too many SMS messages on their phones.

***: What do you mean? From unknown sites and in large amounts? (Yes, this is an SMS bomb; a simple attack that can easily spread among people's phone numbers. It's not even considered an attack. Most likely, the person doing this is new to this because people with little experience tend to do these simple things for fun. But who did this? Everyone thinks it was Jonah from the other school. I think so too; only someone who exposes themselves would do such a simple attack.)

Peter: Why are you staring blankly? What's wrong? What do you have on your phone?

(I don't understand. I haven't given my number to anyone in this class. How did I receive these SMS messages? I'm starting to doubt that Jonah is the one behind this. It must be something else. So, which sites are these SMS messages coming from?)

While our character was checking the SMS messages they received, they saw a very different SMS. This one was unlike the others.

(Well, this isn't from a site or an app. There's nothing written on it; what the fuck is this?)

Our character clicked on the SMS to investigate.

SMS: I know who you are, what you did, everything about you.
