Aretha dared to look ahead. Radit's words are true, because now there is no more terrible creature. The closet is empty. Aretha immediately swept a glance around. The room was dark, and the creature was not found anywhere. Aretha was finally able to breathe a sigh of relief.
He lowered his head, setting an irregular rhythm of breathing. Radit immediately embraced her.
"Already, Already. It's okay. You calm down, yes," persuaded her husband.
"I really saw the creature, Dit. He was in the closet" Aretha said quietly in Radit's arms.
"Yes, I believe. But now he is no more. What if we get out of here? Maybe Dedi's the same Danu found something in the back" Radit said.
"Yes. Ja. Come on, let's get out of here" Aretha asked.
As they left, the closet made a sound again. They both automatically looked at the place. Nothing has been seen so far. Although Radit and Aretha seemed tense when staring at the object.
"Come, get out," Radit invited back to disperse Aretha's daydreams. Radit painstakingly beat his wife who seemed to still be in a state of shock from the previous incident. They walked back to the door. However, Aretha suddenly stopped walking, as she felt something strange pressing down on her nape.
"You hear that, Dit?" ask Aretha.
"Sound what?" radit was confused.
"Someone called my name."
"Hem? Call you? Any timing? How come I didn't hear what, huh, honey?"
"Eum, is that just my feeling, huh?" Aretha asked who was beginning to doubt what she heard.
"Yes, maybe I just misheard. Just the wind. Yuk," take Radit back to pull Aretha's hand out of the room.
"ARETHA!" the screams of someone who now his voice was loud were heard.
Aretha looked back, and suddenly the figure of the pocong she had just seen reappeared and crashed into her body. His body experienced a very strange taste, while his eyes seemed to be drawn into the body and experienced irritation. In addition, the lips, mouth and throat become very dry. His eyes that were initially closed, immediately opened. Suddenly the surrounding room changed. Radit wasn't in the room with him either. The room that initially looked messy and chaotic with uninhabitable conditions turned into a neat bedroom even though the classic impression is still attached. The old wooden bed is now covered in mats. Actually, the bed does not resemble a bed in general. Because it looks more like a simple cot typical home in the colonial era. There was not much luxury that he could find in the room. Everything is just simple furniture that is still neatly arranged in its place.
"Come in! Coming in!" screams a man outside.
Areta, who was curious, rushed outside. He was no longer astonished by what happened because all the strange things could of course have happened while he was in another realm like now. The supernatural realm usually has several layers. It's just that everything that happens must be interconnected, and it's Areta's job to figure out what really happened.
When Areta opened the room door she again found the house with a neat position like an inhabited house.
"Where else am I now? Do I not-don't I go again to the other dimension of time?" his mumbling speaks for itself.
Areta who was still confused by what was in front of her then went to find the source of the voice earlier. From where he stood there were several people heard talking to each other. Apparently there were two people in the living room of the house. The existence of Areta who would not be seen by the people made Areta freely move. He sat down on one of the chairs to listen to the conversation of the two men before him.
"The male guest is Sukarta, and the guest must be a patient who wants to use his services" Aretha said.
From the chat it was very clear that the arrival of the guest to the house of Sukarta was to ask for help. Of course, his help was desired by the man in the form of something mystical and mystical.
"could. Lt could. Surely I can do that. But everything certainly has conditions that you must meet," said Sukarta.
"What's the signal, Ki?"
Sukarta informed him of some conditions that must be met by the customer. The conditions given are not too complicated and usually it is often asked by shaman experts for customers. Like a cemani chicken, a variety of flowers of seven forms, water from several springs, and the last one a goat.
Discussions about what Sukarta would do ended and the customers immediately returned home to wait for the next results.
The situation that Orita saw now suddenly turned dark and the atmosphere was different from what she had seen earlier in the day. Apparently he was thrown straight to the time where that terrible event was about to happen.
In the evening Sukarta continued the ritual to do what her customers had asked her to do this afternoon. But in the middle of the ritual he was about to perform suddenly there was a noise outside his house. His voice was more like those who were angry and cursing Sukarta. The old man was finally disturbed by this. He also decided to leave the house and stop the new ritual that will begin earlier. Areta followed Sukarta and saw that outside Sukarta's house there were now many villagers with torches and angry expressions. Some even pointed sharp weapons at Sukarta.
"Basar evil shaman! Just die you!"
"Dead!"
"Dead!"
"We don't want you in our village!"
Sukarta who was confused by what happened to the citizens seemed calmer. But he knew that what would happen would hurt himself.
"What do you want?" ask Sukarta in a high tone.
One of the residents who allegedly is the leader of the group signaled that the other residents are silent.
"We got information from a few people. If you practice witchcraft! Is true?" tanyanya was still trying to calm down.
"Yes, it's true. Why why?"
"So it's true that the deaths of some citizens that have happened lately are you?"
" I'm sorry I couldn't tell you who the victim was or who the customer paid me. It's not like you know what my profession has been all along. Why are you just getting angry and wanting to kill me?"
"You've caused the deaths of many people here in a heinous way. We agreed to take you away from this place so that in this village it could be calmer."
"Haha. What can you do to me? Can you beat me?"
"certainly could. Moreover, the evil science that you've done has killed sir who once innocent lives. So you better repent soon!"
"Ah, fuck!"
"Already, Mr. Rt. We'd better just go get him and kill him so we don't do anything bad to our villagers!" screams of other citizens.
"Rubber, Mr. Rt. Already, just arrest him!"
As the head of RT, Parmin certainly can not casually give orders. He just kept quiet while thinking about all the consequences if he agreed to the request of the other citizens. But it turns out the anger of the citizens is already out of bounds. Even without Parmin's consent they immediately attacked Sukarta's house. Even if Sukarta is a witch doctor who has high knowledge but he is still an ordinary human who if attacked by dozens of people like now he will definitely be overwhelmed.
As a result Sukarta in the arak by the residents out of his house around the village and they stopped in a forest that was a bit far from the settlement residents. Kalimati villagers rarely roam the forest because the forest has many mystical stories that make the feathers stand. Sukarta was tied up in a tree, and she was pelted with a lot of wood. Until the wood is now surrounding Sukarta. It did not stop until there some residents poured liquid. Then the angry others lit a match and managed to burn the wood around Sukarta in just seconds.
"Damn you! You guys just wait. I will take my revenge on all of you Kalimati villagers. You will all live miserable to death!" sukarta's swearing was heard almost to the entire forest.
Some residents who heard began to fear even though some did not care about the words of Sukarta.
The carriage that witnessed the event was quite dumbfounded as he actually saw the old man's death before his own eyes. Suddenly his shoulder was patted from behind. When he looked over there was the face of someone he had known all along.
"Sir de!" peekot Aretha's.
Areta's view. He felt a cold sensation creeping all over his body. Finally the voices of some people were heard rubbing his ears.
"Aretha! Wake up!"
"Darling! Wake, Honey!"
Is then open his eyes and apparently this he is surrounded by his friends. Among them was Joseph who looked at him with one end of his lips drawn to the side.
"There's enough roads, Aretha!" yusuf.
Areta immediately grew up knowing that she had woken up and her other friends had returned.
"That was... What is it, Pakde?" ask Aretha.
"That's a picture of the events that have happened in this place."
"Why am I shown something like that, Mr De?"
"Well, of course he wants to outwit you. This time it won't be easy. So you should all just wait here, let Pakde enter alone with a friend of Pakde's friend," said Yusuf.
As soon as he looked behind Joseph, it turned out that there were already some people wearing white turban and sarong. Although they looked young, but the emanated aura seemed powerful.
There were about 10 men brought by Joseph. They all started to enter the courtyard of Mr. Yodi's house without any burden. It even seemed once that they could still laugh with a simple chatter upon entering the place.
"Well, it's been a long time since I've been in a place like this" Ahsan said.
"really. Your great niece too, Suf, can find a place like this."
"What do you think of this place?"
"Dark" said Ghafar.
"Full negative air" said Fatan
"Just entering the village gate, I've been goosebumps," added Amirul
"It seems there have been many negative things in this place" said Fajri.
"Well, that's for sure. I feel like this village is cursed. Huft, you guys just look around. They seem ashamed to welcome us" Hamdan said.
"They're just keroco. Don't be fooled" said Zulham.
The tall meadows, originally stood upright and did not move at all. But suddenly all the grass suddenly fell like stepped on something big. Surprisingly, all the grasses experienced the same thing in unison as they passed through the courtyard.
"Well, is this a welcoming ceremony?" asked Lukman while watching around.
"Take that, Man," said Rashad.
"Then it's an honor dong."
They also arrived at the terrace of the rickety house. Not directly going inside, they actually stood in front while paying attention to the condition of the house.
"Hem, quite another," murmured Zulham.
"Well, don't be surprised after I open the door, yeah," Yusuf said.
"alright. Come on, get ready." Ahsan rubbed his hands together with an enthusiastic face.
Joseph had already come to this place. But it was a long time ago. At the time of the initial incident Arden and Aretha were in the village.
"What's wrong with this house?" amirul asked for more explanation.
The door of the house was opened by Joseph. The distinctive creak of the old door sounds deafening. The smell of dust and stuffy room makes them directly cover the nose with the palm of the hand. As soon as the door was opened, there was a black aura coming out from there. Some of them flicked their hands into the air. Maybe if the person sees ordinary humans, it will be considered as an effort to repel the dust that appears. But what really happened was not so.
"Wow, how thick! Bismilbornrahmanirrahim!" fajri.
They started to slowly step inside. They followed Joseph who walked first who also served as a mystical tour guide this time. There was nothing strange about entering the living room, but when they opened the connecting curtains of the next room, the one seen in front made them all gap.
"Subhanallah."
"Astagfirulloh!"
"Oh God!"
They arrived at the cursed forest. Where the place is the headquarters of a creature named Merihim. The atmosphere around suddenly darkened. Outside the house it was still noon. But this forest displays the surrounding night conditions. They are not surprised by this phenomenon.
The PMerihim is a demonic figure who has been gnawing at the village for a long time. He inhabited the place decades ago, in fact it has been almost 1 century.
"I've studied this place before. The creature we will face now is Merihim. He is a very old creature. At first he was just an ordinary genie, but since the people of the past worshiped him and even gave him regular offerings, the land of Merihim slowly became stronger. Until now. He could even destroy this village many times. The soul of the human soul inhabiting this place was taken by him."
"Do you know where, Suf?" ask Imran.
"My father. It turns out my father was in this place when he was young. He did kkn here with his college friends. My father was also surprised to learn that his granddaughter actually returned to this place. A place he no longer wanted to remember. But thanks to my father, we're getting to know who our enemy is now, right?"
"Well, of course. That information is very helpful" Hamdan said.
"So there's only one creature, right?" ask Zulham.
"Yes, just the strongest one. I don't think you're gonna be taking issue with the other creatures underneath, are you?"
"It looks like your nephew can handle the rest later," Rasyad added.
"We'll handle the boss first. Come on, find the creature. I'm sure he must be hiding somewhere!" joseph looked around seriously.
The eleven men scattered around each corner of the forest. Finding a creature called Merihim is not easy. Because he can manipulate the situation and hide very neatly so as not to be found.
Every corner of the forest is covered. They keep thinking about every step they take. Eventually one of them found the cave.
"I found a strange place" cried Imran.
Some of those who were near Imran then approached. The rest are still searching the place carefully.
"Do we just go inside?" ask Rashad.
"heart. It seems a bit dangerous" Ghafar said.
"Let me go first" Lukman said.
Lukman, Rashad, and Ghafar entered the dark cave. No lighting at all. Their steps are very careful, because they must be vigilant if something dangerous awaits them inside.
"What's this?" rasyad asked as he stepped on the ground below. The originally dry soil suddenly turned sticky and wet. Although the atmosphere was dark, but the strange feeling could be felt by them.
"heart. This seems... Saliva!" ghafar said after he squatted down and examined the concentrated liquid under their feet.
Suddenly their bodies were thrown out. Something hit their chest. The three of them rolled out of the cave while coughing cough with a chest grip. There was a hot sensation they felt. Even their clothes let out a thin smoke and smelled very high.
Their other friend friend ran over when they saw what had happened to the three people.
"You guys okay?" joseph asked worriedly.
Some helped the three men wake up.
"Wow, that's fine too. It's hot on my chest" Ghafar said.
"What's inside?" ask Ahsan.
"The creature's saliva. We stepped on it" Rashad said, watching his legs.
It turns out that the condition of the shoes they wear also experience the same thing. Their shoes are on fire. Like having stepped on a hot asphalt that had just matured. Forced them to take their shoes off their feet. Although the burns did not hurt the soles of the feet, but still their feet felt a little painful.
"We are fine" Lukman said.
"It looks like he's inside" Yusuf said.
"Then, let's just go in, Suf!" bring Fajri.
Six people entered the cave. The rest are waiting outside. Even if there are people outside, they will still help friends who enter the cave by praying.
"Come, we should also prepare," Hamdan said.
Five people were outside, sitting cross-legged on the ground. They closed their eyes while thinking. But their sound deliberately hardened can even be heard up to the front porch of the house.
Joseph walked with a heart. This time they brought a flashlight to ease their limited vision. Once in the pool of black liquid, they stopped. The light from the flashlight panned the ground below. The black liquid was like boiling water, as it burst into flames. It looks like a crater in a volcano. The smell is not good either. Until they close their nose so that the air they breathe is much better.
"Suf, put this on," said Fatan, giving the wide wooden board that was on the right side of the cave.
They used the board to pass so as not to step on the black liquid.
"His saliva alone was already that much. Wow, that's amazing!" amirul hatch.
The more it enters the cave, the air around them is getting thinner. Their breaths began short as if they had climbed a high mountain.
"Actually where does it end?" ask Ahsan.
"Yes, right. Why don't we get there!" added Fatan.
"Something seems wrong here! Look down" said Yusuf pointing before them.
The wooden board that they had previously used passed through the black liquid was again visible in the front. This proves one thing.
"Focus!" clever Yusuf.
They lowered their heads and closed their eyes. Our committed mouth reads prayer out loud and out loud. Until finally the atmosphere that had been dark and stuffy, changed.
The air gets cooler. As soon as their eyes opened, the narrow cave just now turned big and bright. But one thing surprised them. The sight of someone hanging upside down in the middle of the cave.
"That's the creature" whispered Ghafar.
"Prepare! Don't let your guard down!" pinta Yusuf's.
"Ohihihihihi! It's been a long time since I've had a special guest." The voice of the creature echoed around the cave.
"You Merihim?" ask Yusuf.
"Well, and you're Hermawan's son! The world is so narrow. But this is my luck, for taking my revenge on Hermawan through his sons and grandsons! Ahahaha!"
"Haha. You're so confident!"
"of course. Because you guys are nothing. Even your father almost died in my hands first!"
"And you're gonna die in my hands now!"
"Come," whispered Ghafar taking out both of his hands which moved in a strange motion, like he was pulling a rope that he had made himself. His other friends did the same.
They made a gesture that resembled one playing a rubber band, then tossed it to another and was caught by the others again. The movement is like forming a long rope and connected to each other. When they finished, they moved forward to approach Merihim. Joseph who was in the middle of the lead took a step first. Suddenly he ran towards Merihim then jumped up to hit the body of the creature. Apparently Joseph thrust a knife into Merihim's heart. The grimace screamed in pain. Simultaneously a strong wind blew against the six of them. Their bodies rolled because they could not hold the wind. Now the roots of the plant begin to move on their own and slide quickly snaring their legs and hands.
