Chapter 67 - The Ghost of the Empty House Waiter
Chapter 67 PMM
"Yes, Mom! I sent it!" yell Rangga.
The cell phone connection was closed. He looked at Adam and the King.
"Where did anyone commit suicide?" ask Adam.
"Oh, you don't know that in a
Green Apartment has a girl commit suicide because of her?" ask Rangga.
Adam shook his head, King too.
"Ah, not up to date! I even have a video of him falling free. But not in this phone. Entar deh fue kasih," said Rangga then turned to recording equipment that he put in a bag.
King and Adam still looked at the young man with eyes that made Rangga start to feel uncomfortable.
"What the hell, you on! You don't have any other work, what? Come on, he said he was going to the house. We're hunting demons tonight!" bring Rangga.
The king finally smiled, saying to Rangga, "do not get wet, yes!"
"Damn it! You're Bang's bedwetting!" exclamation Rangga.
King and Adam looked at each other and nodded.
"Om Lee didn't come, brother?" whispered King.
"It should come." The king got out of the car and followed two young men behind him.
They entered the two-story house whose rear windows had also been broken a lot. Dull wall paint peeling even mossy. It is true what the king said. The turnstile in the backyard can be opened and entered easily.
They're watching around. Rangga still recorded the picture but promised not to highlight it towards King and Adam. Sometimes also Rangga spoke for himself as if he was touring in a mystical place.
The king managed to open the entrance at the back near the kitchen. The stuffy air and atmosphere that makes the bristling feathers very felt. A lot of dust covers furniture that is not intact.
However, Adam stopped the lights and did not leave while on a bookcase that was partially eaten by termites. There is a journal book that looks intact. Suddenly, his gaze was fixed on a journal lying on the table on the bookshelf.
While the King is still observing around and Rangga is still cool at recording images. Unbeknownst to the King, Adam reaches for the journal. He opened the sheet by sheet that was inside.
In the book, Adam found a lot of torn from old newspaper papers that are pasted like clipping duties of high school children. Whose journal keeps these old pieces of news? Adam tried to observe again to find out the owner.
All the news in the journal was written around the 90s until the early 2000s. Adam again opened the journal sheet until it stopped on one of the pages with the headline "Great Rich People Found Mysteriously Dead" written a lot in the newspaper's headline piece.
Not only that, on another sheet was written as well, "The Massacre of One Family Mysteriously" which increasingly made Adam interested in the chocolate journal.
The king patted his brother on the shoulder after noticing that Adam had not been following him. Adam was shocked and involuntarily dropped the journal in his hand.
"What is that, Dam?" ask King.
"Look, Brother. Among these broken old books, only this intact journal can be read" said Adam.
The king grabbed it, then they continued to open sheet by sheet further and further away. Many strange symbols along with pictures were doodled using random pens. The king stopped in a newspaper picture showing the Narayan Family massacre.
"This isn't Doctor Salma's face?" King frowning.
"Whose doctor Salma, brother?" ask Adam.
"The doctor who succeeded Anta was involved in illegal human organ trafficking. And then Raja Seen there is a sighting of a girl whose face looks like her" whispered the King.
Adam was silent for a moment, his mind was staring far away.He was like he had heard rumors about this empty house.
"This house belongs to the Narayan Family, Brother. Families here died mysteriously. But the case is magical. No suspicious person caught on cctv camera. I also heard that they had dinner and died mysteriously" whispered Adam.
"Maybe they're twins" Adam said.
"But this family photo indicates that Salma is not twins" said the King again.
King and Adam returned, reading the scribbles in the journal, then they gasped when they found Rangga's figure looking at them with fierce eyes.
"Get out of this house!" yells.
"The ladder! Elu why?" adam tried to get closer.
"Get out of this house!" Rangga continued to snarl.
In his hand was something strange. Not the camera go pro like the one Rangga was holding, but a partially rusted kitchen knife.
"The ladder! Throw that knife away!" exclaim King.
"This brat is insolent! He must die!" said it.
"I don't think he's Rangga, brother. I think Rangga is possessed" said Adam.
"It seems so," said the King and tried to approach Rangga.
"Who are you? Can you get into the boy's body?" The king tried to distract the figure of Rangga.
While Adam will try to take the kitchen knife from Rangga's hand.
"I'm Salma. I own the journal, he said.
"Owner of this book? You've died cuddling this clipping?" Adam stared strangely and wonderfully at the ghost that possessed Rangga's body.
"Can't really? There's a tuyul who likes to help me collect newspapers" he said.
"Wait, if you're the real Salma, then who is Doctor Salma who has a face like yours?" ask King.
"That's my body. He changed our souls," he said.
"Him?" ask the King again.
"Yes, that woman you call Doctor Salma" he said.
"Let's tell the story here, I want to be horrified," said the King reassured.
"Hmmm, looks like you're good people. Are you not the good-looking humans that I often hear from the kuntilanak, huh?" ask Salma.
"The trail has a leader, right? Queen Silla's name. That's our favorite aunt, brother?" adam Sahut.
"That's right," said the King.
"Oh, Queen Kuntilanak whose name is Silla. Ummm, okay fine I'll talk to you guys. But, I let go of this stupid kid's body. It was as if he was arrogant and challenged me to appear. And most annoyingly, he peed my painting in the room!" Salma pointed at her room on the second floor.
The female ghost figure then came out of Rangga's body. The young man lay unconscious on the dust-filled floor. Salma even hit Rangga's cheek with the tip of her foot.
"Huuuuu, you weak guy like me, you're a doubt!" salma murmur.
The ghost then invited King and Adam to talk in a dining room. The place where he died with his family and body was taken to be owned by a female devotee of the cult Nyi Ageng.
