Ghost Hunt: Panic in the Country
Vol. 1: Destiny | 26. Mistakes in the Past

Thousands of years ago, a great war took place on an island. The cause began with a man who was adventuring, but they were not welcomed by the island's elders. They had to leave the island. After the departure of the adventurers, a long white-haired girl ran up the mountains. Arriving at home, the girl told her grandfather. About the adventurous arrival and the coolness of the elder in driving them away.

"When I grow up, I'll be like an elder. That's really cool" said the girl happily.

"Are you serious, Nariti?" ask the grandfather.

"Yes. I'll be a good and firm elder." Nariti replied with a face exclaiming. They continued the conversation.

After a long chat, Nariti always practiced magic every day. Even he was blessed by the gods by having other abilities. Between light and darkness, a very rare ability is possessed by everyone. Nariti was also the first person to have both abilities at once.

Exactly 30 years later, Nariti has become a highly respected elder to all her people. Nariti lived happily with her people, until one day. One of his subjects found an unconscious man on the beach. With generosity, Nariti along with several people treated her. Letting the man stay for a long time makes Nariti feel comfortable and fall in love. With a mature mind Nariti decides to marry him. However, the marriage brought a terrible tragedy.

After one year of marriage, the day Nariti was putting her baby to sleep. There were mass killings and the taking of power by the husband, along with several ships coming from other lands. This made Nariti very angry. There was a very intense fight, but Nariti's husband was able to finish it. One word came out of Nariti's mouth, before she left, "Don't kill my son, please take care of him." That was the last word my husband heard.

The man walked to the light blue bed. In clothes full of blood, she carried a daughter. Who was only two months old. Leaving the island, allowing his subordinates to take care of the corpses. After the man got the island that is very difficult to penetrate. There are many rumors about the islanders. According to rumors, there are some who are still alive and will continue to hold grudges. It affects his daughter, the result of which he marries Nariti.

The rumors continued for several hundred years. In fact, ridicule and insults continued to be obtained. A descendant with white hair would bring havoc, according to the story that was hereditary in the Kingdom of Marhara. One day, a white-haired male wanderer came. After his arrival many bad things happened endlessly. This makes the people of Marhara very hate and trauma to the Paua tribe who live on Peolani Island. For months and even years, the Marhara Kingdom searched for the tribe and their wish was achieved.

It is a short history that is being read by Astan and some of his friends.

"Well, they're so cruel. They should have been looking for a way out. Instead of killing them all, or they could be angry with the Gods. Everyone wants to live, why is it like that?" babble Seya with an unstoppable annoyance.

"This historical book is very rare. If found out, it will be punished and the book will also be burned. I got it with a lot of struggle" said one blond man and his thick glasses.

"Are the people who wrote this so trustworthy?" ask Seya again.

"Of course, even I met the person who wrote it. He was a survivor of the island. Now, the island is home to descendants of those with white hair. They seem to be forcibly isolated" said the man.

"There's one thing I want to ask you. Is Synta their offspring?" ask Astan.

"Actually, this is no longer an open secret. He continued to rebel and did not want to be exiled. Inside here he dares to show his original appearance, but when out. She's gonna use fake hair, so, no one's gonna know. Because you're new members for a year. So, it's only natural that you don't know yet. It's like an unwritten rule, if caught. We will all be affected, too" replied the man so long. Astan just nodded in understanding hearing the man's explanation.

"Then, have you ever protested? Like, asking him to leave or asking the chairman to turn him down?" ask Seya again.

"It happened once, but after we heard the explanation and knew the information about the dark history. We feel pity" replied Gabe.

While engrossed in the conversation, Endra approached their table. Ask permission to borrow Astan and Gabe. Now Endra, Gabe, and Astan are in the headroom, along with one white-haired woman. Adli briefly explains the case at the first job for Astan. After understanding the situation of the case, they immediately went to the scene. A dormitory for students, they always got terror, like white hair scattered in every hallway. Not to be left behind anyway, the sound of crying and laughing simultaneously. In the dormitory there is also often the loss of male students.

Over a month, the dorm became even more terrifying. Even all of the dormitory residents had left and chosen to look for another rental place. Arriving in front of the entrance gate of the dormitory, they had sensed a terrifying aura. With the night air that makes my feathers stand up.

"Why so quiet? I've got all my hair on my feet, this place looks scary." Gabe spoke in the middle of the silence by hugging himself.

"Are you scared?" ask Astan.

"Me, scared? No, I'm not scared. I'm brave, things like this are very common to me. Where it may be ...." Gabe shouted when he heard the sound of the gate opening and did not continue his words.

A male guard walked up to them and allowed them to enter. After that, the gate closed again. Making Gabe rant was upset because of his loud voice.

"You don't get me wrong, I'm a very easy person to be surprised. It's not because I'm afraid" Gabe said, trying to explain. However, they did not listen to him at all and Astan with a small smile invited Gabe to catch up with his two teammates who had left first.

They had been in the corridor of the dormitory with bright lighting. However, a sinister and terrifying aura was still felt. Endra who is believed to be the team leader gave a direction to split. Checking each floor carefully, they did have the ability to see things invisible. However, their vision could not penetrate the wall.
