Murder In The Old Castle
XCVII. Fighting for Life
The dark still covered the entire castle. Some residents are still in the middle room with feelings of anxiety. Ammar and Reno fell silent, but remained vigilant. The atmosphere was silent, only the sound of crickets creaking out there. The clock sounds obvious too. They await the efforts of Dimas and Hans who carry out an important mission.
Dimas and Hans had walked down a dark hallway armed with a match for lighting. Hans held the match in hand trembling, while Dimas walked behind him in an alert manner. They entered the dark dining room.
Hans approached the dining table just as the match in his hand was dead.
“Ah, shit!” muttered.
Back he lit a match immediately in hand, but unfortunately a bit stuck, so it takes time many times. Before the match lit up, a black shadow flashed in the darkness, pushing Hans' body to the floor. The match in his hand went off somewhere. The black shadow wrestled on the floor with Hans, trying to paralyze the cold-faced writer.
Meanwhile, Dimas was in an extraordinary state of confusion. He pointed a gun at the two men who were struggling on the floor, but he could not shoot. The dark blinded his eyes, so he feared his shot would hurt Hans.
“Shoot only! Just shoot this guy!” hans' orders.
“I ... I can't see clearly, Hans!” said Dimas.
Hans fought that indistinct figure with a single slap kick in his stomach.
“Aaahh!” scream that figure.
“Jeez, she's female!” said Hans.
The figure was pushed, hitting a small table with a display of Chinese urns, so that the urn fell to pieces. The opportunity was not wasted by Dimas.
“Door!”
He fired a gun at Hans's attacker. Unfortunately due to the darkness, the shot only hit the attacker's arm. Feeling cornered, the assailant immediately took a thousand steps into the castle towards the reading room.
The door! The door!
Dimas again fired a shot towards the cloaked figure, unfortunately only hitting empty space. That figure disappeared into the darkness of the castle!
“Hans ... Hans! Are you okay?” ask Dimas.
“I'm okay. Why don't you go after him?”
“I don't know the ins and outs of this castle. Obviously I lost the field. But I made sure he got hurt. He's not going anywhere!” said Dimas.
“OK. Okay. Let's get moving!”
Hans immediately picked up the candle on the table, lighting it with a matchstick that was there. A glimmer of light now illuminated the dining room.
“Now we go to the next mission, take the flashlight in Ammar's room. I know where the room is, but we have to stay careful,” Hans said.
“Hmm. You have an idea who attacked you?”
“She's a woman, but very strong. I feel such a great energy. It was so dark that I wasn't sure who it was. Better that we discuss later, we immediately to the room Ammar!”
The two of them immediately walked into Ammar's room. However, their steps came to a halt when they met a black shadow figure who was also walking vigilantly along the passage.
“Thank you! Don't move!” dimas commanded while pointing the gun at the black shadow.
“Who is that person?” hans asked trying to sharpen the vision.

Dimas's gunshot was heard in the central room. Everyone held their breath, afraid that something bad had happened.
“I think it was the sound of a Dimas gun shot. Three eruptions,” Reno murmurs.
“Down, I hope they'll be okay. I have a lot to finish. Dimas told me that in the basement there were two people who had to be rescued, but so far their conditions were safe, so Dimas let them take shelter there,” Reno said.
“Captives in the basement? Who?” ask Ammar curious.
“A doctor and a girl. Only Dimas did not mention his name,” Reno said.
“Gosh! That must be dr. Dwi. I know he must be alive. Elina once found a photo of dr. Dwi is being held captive. I'm sure it must be him!” ammar.
“Who is the girl? What's Elina?” ask Aldo.
“Sayang Dimas did not say. After this I'll check into the basement. I think they're safe.” Reno tried to calm down.
“After this I will be home soon. This is a nightmare! I want to go home!” arvan said nervously. He began to be depressed with the chaotic condition of the castle.
“You'll be home, just relax!” Reno pats Arvan on the shoulder
Everyone went back to silence. The feelings they still feel. They want the night to pass. The darkness made them gripped with fear.

Doctor Dwi and Elina walk into an unlocked room, crouching behind an old table. The doctor hinted that Elina would not make a sound. They peeked, who's going into the basement.
Before long, they saw a flashlight. The feet are getting closer. From the hiding place, they saw a black-robed man holding a tall woman covered in her mouth, while she was also held in a sharp object.
“Jeez, won't it be Adrianna,” whispered Elina
“Iya. That was Adrianna. The psychopath managed to catch him,” said dr. Dwi.
“What do we do, Doctor?” ask Elina.
“You stay here first. I'll ambush from behind before the psychopath wakes up. After that, you please Adrianna, take it away from here. Can you?”
Elina hesitated to answer. To be honest he's scared, let alone face an insanely armed psychopath. He has no other choice. He must fight, or die! He nodded.
“Alright! Don't make the slightest sound. I'll sneak from behind!”
The cloaked figure walked down the hall slowly. Doctor Dwi made use of the darkness of the passageway, so that he was not easily noticed. He walked as slowly as he could, so as not to make a sound. So close, he immediately ambushed, making a curling motion. Suddenly the black-robed figure was shocked, he turned around, kicking dr. Dwi right in the stomach.
Buuk!
Doctor Dwi took a few steps back. While Adrianna was glued to see the incident. He doesn't know what to do.
“Run fast!” dr's orders. Dwi on Adrianna.
The woman immediately got into action, half running away from the cloaked figure and dr. The two now face each other. Adrianna was greeted by Elina who had been on standby. They moved away, despite the dark atmosphere.
“Oh, it's lucky that you're here right now, Doctor. I'm gonna make a calculation for my mother's death. Apparently you're here to usher in death!” grin that figure.
“Don't jumawa! I'm here to stop all your crimes. This is the end of all your brutal actions!”
The figure laughed cackling. He played a sharp weapon in his hand, alert to dr movements. Dwi. The doctor was aware that while he was unarmed, a misstep could mean fatal. He was looking for a way to paralyze the cloaked figure in front of him.
The atmosphere is still very dark. Dr. Dwi saw the flash of a sharp object that the figure carried in his right hand, while his left hand was still holding a flashlight. Suddenly, with a quick movement the figure aimed the flashlight at the dr's eyes. Dwi, so for a moment the doctor lost concentration.
The figure lunged forward, plunging his sharp weapon right into the chest of dr. Dwi!
