"You..you're still sane right? why make a deal with the devil?"
Asmodeus held Erina's forehead as if examining a sick person, He still could not believe what was happening.
"The important thing is, I have time to find my mother without being disturbed"
"Yes then?"
"So he can take me"
"Aaarrrgghh. I really don't understand your way of thinking", Asmodeus stress.
"Let's rest, if I die in Lucifer's hands, my soul will seek you in the afterlife and we can be together forever"
Asmodeus walked to the glass door, then his head leaned against the glass, He let out a long sigh.
"No, that's not Erina's concept. If you die normally, indeed your soul will be taken to the afterlife, and maybe we can meet, but if annihilated will be different story. To be destroyed means that our soul will be lost forever and like it never was"
Erina covered her mouth with her hands in surprise.
"Sorry.I don't know about that. But let's hope that Lucifer just kills me, doesn't exterminate me, does he?"
"Where possible, you really don't appreciate how I feel"
Asmodeus looks so disappointed by Erina's reckless deeds.
Erina bowed lethargic for feeling so guilty.
"Yes, the important thing is we try to find your mother first, later maybe I can try some way to buy time, how much time is given?"
"One month"
"Yes tuhaan.it's fast!", Asmodeus is getting stressed.
They both look the same - equally frustrated
and be quiet for a moment.
"Okay, I'll slam it....."
"Wait on! there's one more requirement"
"Huh? what else?"
"All the astral who helped me, will lose his powers"
Asmodeus sat in a doldrums, his mind empty, looking for people would be very easy with astral powers, but if he were a human, it could take months or even years.
"I'll be back first to apply for leave and bring some stuff"
Asmodeus disappeared.
Erina thought again, feeling her decision was wrong, but she had no other choice.
...----------------...
The next day Erina went to the cafe where she worked, and she told Clara that she would resign because she would look for her mother. Clara was surprised by his decision, but he had no power to resist it.
From across the street, Damien who was still around noticed Erina but without showing her presence.
...----------------...
In the apartment, Erina prepared all her savings and anything she could carry, even though she did not know where she was going. His mother can be anywhere, can be in the village behind the apartment, or even in other parts of the world that are very far away.
Then Asmodeus came, with shorts, a t-shirt, sunglasses and two large suitcases in his hand.
"You.. want to travel to Bali?"
Erina looked at the astonishment.
"I don't know what clothes to look for missing people. Who knows if he's on the beach"
"Hahh.yasahwe better start looking where? police station? the ordeal? immigration office?"
"Eits, from the smart guy dong"
"Huh?
Erina was quite surprised to hear the answer from Asmodeus.
Why are people smart? because smart people are not astral but have supernatural powers that are expected to help them. At least according to Asmodeus.
"But, you really lost your power?", Erina confirmed.
"Look at this, since I have come back here this sign appears", Asmodeus shows the appearance of the same sign as Erina at the nape of her neck.
...----------------...
Outside the apartment they argue.
"Why not use my car? is it easy to go where?"
"**No, because if you bring a car, we will be bothered, also have to find parking and all sorts"
"But my car is small and practical"
"We took a taxi, a silver bird taxi**"
"What's up? it's expensive to know"
Asmodeus picked up the two suitcases he was carrying and hit them,
"calm down, we're sultans now".
Erina felt dizzy, but she complied with Asmodeus. He wondered why Asmodeus was like a man who forgot himself, but he was just an ordinary man now.
They both boarded after stopping a taxi with metallic black paint and a bird logo, just as Asmodeus wanted.
Asmodeus has been looking into the practice of smart people. After giving an address to the taxi driver, they arrived at a small house on the outskirts of West Jakarta within forty minutes.
Erina looked at the argo, and her argos showed a figure of 750,000.
Erina glared in shock, then whispered to Asmodeus,
"If my car's gasoline, this way can get to foreign countries"
Asmodeus confidently took out a wad of money a hundred thousand, the sum of Kira - roughly ten million
"Here sir, take the change".
The taxi driver was surprised but also very happy. He said a lot of thanks.
Erina was more and more shocked to see Asmodeus' attitude, but because of that money, she did not say anything and could only stroke the chest.
After getting off the taxi, they stood in front of the house which looked quite old and small. The gate is wide open. But there is no sign - the sign of this house is a shamanic practice.
"Are you sure here?", asked Erina who seemed hesitant.
"True, here's the address", Asmodeus confirmed with his smartphone.
Not for long, they entered the house. The interior of the house is mostly made of wood, and many ornaments that look mystical in it. But the house was very quiet.
"Excuse me, good afternoon...Is there a Margonya?", asked Asmodeus.
Suddenly appeared a young boy with glasses and looks shabby, shabby,
"Bak Erinawati huh?"
"Erina doesn't wear wati mas"
"Okay, please wait a minute yes, you are ready - ready first, please drink the water"
Erina and Asmodeus sat on an old teak bench that was already quite worn and smelly.
"Kok he can tell me my name? means this person is trustworthy huh?", Erina began to be enthusiastic.
"Oh.", Erina's expression turned flat.
While waiting, they watched his surroundings, a lot of dust and cobwebs all over the place.
When Erina tried the water in the glass packaging she immediately sprayed it, it felt like water from the colonial era.
"Are you really sure about this place?"
Erina was increasingly unsure of Asmodeus' recommendation.
"Yes, in the five-star review all you know, all the pellets and santetnya succeeded"
Erina could only believe the words of the former h.e.l.l.l officials now were only
mas - a handsome mas who is not good at managing finances.
After waiting for half an hour, they were finally called into the room.
The room was narrow, dark, and very smelled of incense. In front of them was a small wooden table and behind the table was Mbah Margono who was thin and long-haired, complete with blankon and black traditional Javanese clothes that had been slummed.
"So gini mbah..."
Erina hasn't finished talking.
"Eitz! don't talk anymore! I already knew", the shaman moved - moving his hand over the incense.
Erina and Asmodeus looked at each other.
"You're looking for a missing person, right?"
"It's right mbah"
"Actually he's not lost, he's exactly where he wants to be",
the shaman spoke while keeping his eyes closed.
"Yes, but where is it?"
"Hmm.I'm also less clear this look at it"
The shaman made a strange move while looking into a cup of clay in which there was pitch-black coffee.
Then Erina realized that there was an astral figure behind the shaman, a tall black figure and had five eyes.
"What's that five-eye that's used to look for missing people?"
Erina pointed towards the astral.
Mbah Margono was surprised, because he could not see the astral figure that helped him, He was only given instructions through the voice. While Asmodeus could no longer see the astral figure because his vision had become like an ordinary man.
"Hey! I know you can see it, quickly tell me where it is! don't beat around - tele!"
Erina then snapped at the astral.
The astral became angry, too,
"Ngghh, so look, I actually saw it, but I don't know if it's the real person or not"
"How can we be sure?"
"Begging for a strand of hair from her mother", the astral pointed at Erina's hair.
Erina came closer to the astral, pulled out and gave her a strand of hair. Then they are the same - the same looking towards the cup.
The shaman and Asmodeus just kept quiet and paid attention.
The contents of the cup suddenly became boiling, and giving off an orange glow, the astral was startled and moved away from Erina.
"Mmm.. could it be the offspring of a demon king?"
ask him with goosebumps.
"Yes, more or less so"
Erina replied casually.
The astral began to prostrate to Erina, but Erina became annoyed.
"Hey that's not necessary, please quickly see the location of the person!"
When he saw the cup again, he saw nothing.
"Nhggh.anu, sorry but it seems to have suddenly lost my ability", The astral felt very uneasy.
Erina patted her eel, "God.."
"What is it?", asked Asmodeus.
"This abstract says its power is suddenly gone"
"Hmm. It seems that because of that hair, her astral became influenced into the covenant spell"
Asmodeus makes his conclusion.
"Is this so saha, from your previous vision, suppose he's in the same country as us or not?"
"No, very far away"
"What kind of people look like there?"
"All bule people"
"Ah this does not help, the country whose content is bule there are many"
"Hmm. I see bears, lots of big bears, brown feathers"
"Brown bear?"
"Yes"
"Then what else?"
"All white"
"Snow?"
"I don't know what snow is"
"Akh.. then? what else can you describe?"
"I don't know anymore"
They agreed to end their visit.
When it was again - again Asmodeus picked up his suitcase then handed him a wad of cash, the shaman was surprised, Erina was also surprised.
"Hey, they're not much help! just a little!", Erina whispered in an annoyed tone.
Eventually Asmodeus simply gave away some money.
...----------------...
After ending his visit at Margono's house, they visited a fast food restaurant near there to ride on the internet.
After searching the internet, only two countries have a lot of brown bears, America and Russia.
"Ahh..do we have to go abroad?"
"Yes dong, it looks like it's going to be exciting"
Erina squinted her eyes, annoyed at thinking Asmodeus was like playing.
But Asmodeus argues, because maybe this is the last time they can be together, then he hopes for Erina to enjoy the whole journey they will do.
