Ghost Hunt: Panic in the Country
Vol. 0: I Lost | 21. A Glimmer of Truth

However, the man just kept quiet and walked towards the reception desk. Sitting at the table quietly with no concern for Endra at all. Endra who saw it just held back the annoyance, pulling and exhaling slowly.

“Not this is disrespectful, letting guests stand. Even you didn't answer my question,” said Endra. But again, there was no reply from the master. It's not Endra just giving up.

“Can I guess your age? Silence means yes, all right. According to my estimation, you are 40 years old. You look old,” Endra said with his thinking face.

“I'm not that old, I'm 32. Not 40 years,” said the man. Replying to Endra's words with his upset face. Not giving up on trying to kill the man. Endra continued to chatter so long, that Astan had arrived at the apartment. His breath sounded so breathless.

Astan gave a gaze to the man who had now descended from the reception desk, he also tried to normalize his breathing and heartbeat. Astan also saw a brown-haired woman who was two parts away. His sharp eyes continued to be directed at the two of them.

“Where are they? My friends,” ask Astan.

“Ha, no need to rush. Before discussing that, do you remember me?” ask the man. However, Astan just kept quiet and did not answer at all.

“Alright, it looks like you between remember and no. I want to make a deal, if you want to come with me. They will I release, I am serious,” said the man.

“Don't want to, it's just her wits. Rei died and now wants Astan. What are you planning?” ask Endra.

“We are a double agent, so, we can't tell you. That is the customer's secret, let's mutually benefit each other. I just need to get you to where the organization is, nothing more. So, there is no need to extend this problem,” he said.

“Did you kill my mother?” tanya Astan, chimed in on the words of the man.

“Ha, the. I can't answer if you come with me. I'll tell you all and take off your invisible friend. In addition, you can also meet someone there. That could tell you about Rei and your parents' deaths. Rarely do I give so many advantages like this,” said the man at length.

Astan thought for a while, then agreed on what the man wanted. Although Endra continued to try to ban him, Astan remained to the final decision. Upon hearing Astan's reply, the man releases Yeni, Hugo, Riano, and Emily.

“Calm down, I'll be fine. Please take care of them while I'm gone, I promise, I'll be back.” Astan spoke with a small smile on his face. Astan also gave them a few words. After that, Astan went with the man without a fight.

Along the way by car, Astan just sat in silence until the vehicle stopped. They are now in the A-4 District of Abagon City. A coastal city that only has two central districts, District A is a place of population, government and so on. District B covers only the city's ports.

They walked in the middle of the night until they were in front of the house. Astan simply followed them, walking through the vast grounds. A tall wooden door opened along with two servants. After entering the house, they sat quietly. Not long after, a man, along with a younger man, walked up to them and sat on the opposite sofa. The man gave one medium-size pouch containing coins.

“That's your pay. Now you can go,” said the man.

“Ah, before I leave. What if you let this boy ask you a few questions? I have already given some promises,” said another man who sat on the left side of Astan.

“That's not in the work agreement, Lusya.” The younger man replied to Lusya's words by putting on his upset face.

“I know, but I promised. I'm sure, he's very curious about some things. Just tell me that I got an extra job too. He'll pay me this much, won't you feel sorry. Ah, you are a tribe that has no feelings at all. I forgot,” replied Lusya with a big smile on the face. When the young man would reply to Lusya's words, the owner of the house immediately stopped him and remained silent.

“May I know the reason, why you asked him to take me? Do you know what happened 11 years ago? I don't really remember, those memories are still very biased. Is it true that my mother and father died by suicide? Or were they killed? ” ask Astan.

“My reason is for you to join us. For what happened 11 years ago. That's right, your father and mother were murdered, but do you know who got the job killing them? He's right here. You can ask him for certainty. And also, about your brother. Isn't that so, Lusya.” The man replied with a thin smile.

“Didn't your intention also to kill him. Join your organization? Very funny,” Lusya.

The two of them were silent for a few seconds, but then. The aura around turned into extremely tense. With each of their assistants standing up to protect the master. While Astan can only see it with a face that shows fear and nervousness.

“It seems, you get another request. Ha, what other request is to keep this brat?” ask the man.

“This is my job, I can have some job and request. I don't care if anyone says I play a lot of feet. All I needed was money and work,” Lusya replied, making the man laugh out loud for a few minutes.

“Sorry, sorry. I forgot for a while, so, what do you want for now?” tanyakanya.

“Take it again,” replied Lusya quickly. Hearing Lusya's reply, Astan could only put on a confused face.

Unlike his serious-faced interlocutor. It happened to give each other an enormous aura, but moments later. The owner relented and allowed Lusya to take Astan away. After that long tense conversation. They left the man's residence. The good news is that Astan doesn't have to join forces and be killed. But the facts he just heard. Make Astan silent a thousand words and still digest again.

Along the way to the apartment, Astan was silent and silent. When they arrived at the apartment. Astan stood his ground by giving a cold look to the two people who were making him emotional. However, Astan was also grateful for his help.

However, in the end Astan sat beside Endra who was putting on an annoyed face.

“Sorry, it has pissed you off. But, this is our job. We become a double agent, so, you guys don't need to get angry.” Lusya spoke in a calm voice.

“My name is Ai, I have also met you, Astan. Back then, I was only asked to confirm whether you remembered it or not. Sorry, it has surprised you at that time,” said Ai with a regretful face.

“I know, now you must be very emotional and angry. I'll just explain what the old man said. The Bhirya. First, it's true, I have orders to take you and your mother. But I didn't kill both of your parents. Second, your brother's problem. It was my fault. I'm so late in watching my assistant, I'm really sorry.” Lusya told me and pleaded with his head lowered deeply. So did Ai who pleaded so deeply.

“You who killed Bena, as we tried to look after Astan and his mother,” assault Emily with anger. While the master, aka Bena. He stood quietly, leaning his body against the wall.

“I'm also sorry for that incident. All because of my negligence as team leader and their supervisor,” Lusya said again.

Astan who listened to the words of Lusya, again remembered the events of 11 years ago. Some shards accidentally came and Astan just put on his surprised face. Those who saw Astan were also astonished. Several times they called out his name, but there were no words at all. Astan ignored the voices that kept calling him, until the loud voice of Cakara greeting made him realize.

“Why do you keep daydreaming and put on a surprised face? Do you not feel that I am going home? Ah, very funny.” Cakara said with an embrace of Astan, but his big smile was gone. While getting sharp glances from all of them who were in the apartment.
