River Suburbs Village
dark hallway

In the hallway, Subhan and Sutikno didn't say much. Besides the atmosphere in the hallway was cold, Subhan was like he was in a different world.

"Sutikno, the atmosphere is very cold" I was cold" Subhan said as he sat on the raft.

"Are you not feeling cold?" subhan asked Sutikno

"I don't feel cold at all because I've gotten used to Subhan" Sutikno replied casually. He kept rowing his raft.

"Oh yes yes" Subhan replied without asking much more

When the cold hit, Subhan remembered the white robe given by the grandfather. But Subhan did not dare to wear it because the grandfather ordered to wear the white robe when Subhan had reached the river bank.

"Oh, I have a cloak given by the grandfather" I want to wear it because it's cold" Subhan murmured inwardly

The feeling of wanting to wear the robe was still held by Subhan so that Subhan's body was really cold like ice.

Sutikno who saw it immediately approached Subhan and hugged his best friend

"Subhan, let us hug each other" In a moment we will arrive, you must be happy to see the village next door" Sutikno said

Subhan and Sutikno hugged each other and it made Subhan's body gradually feel warm.

In the middle of the hallway, there appeared some strange-looking people. Subhan could see them clearly because the person was wearing a candle and placed it over their head. Most of them had bald heads and most of them were male and were about the same age as Subhan and Sutikno.

Sutikno, who are they?" it seems they all want to get in the way of our journey huh?" subhan asked a little scared.

"Ehm, no, they're just waiting for this hallway" You just shut up and don't move" Sutikno warned Subhan.

"Oh, it looks like you know Sutikno a lot, Ah yasudah" I don't want to ask again because it's useless I ask because the answer will remain the same" said Subhan while sitting quietly in accordance with Sutikno's direction

As Subhan passed by those few people, there were some people with strange faces holding onto Subhan's body. Yet strangely they did not hold Sutikno's body.

Subhan looked a little amused by what the strange creature was doing. Their faces became increasingly visible in Subhan's eyes and Subhan did not dare to shout out in fear.

Subhan remembered correctly and saw their faces very clearly. The creature's face had no hair and a lantern appeared above their heads. Their mouths are wide and their eyes are narrow. It is almost like an alien in the modern world.

Subhan closed his eyes because he could not face the creature for long. The creature is seen holding Subhan's hand and body.

It felt like Subhan wanted to vomit because as the creature approached Subhan, a pungent smell appeared on their bodies. Like a stench. Sutikno who was beside Subhan seemed to continue rowing his raft away from the strange creature.

Unfortunately, there is one strange creature that still survives on the raft belonging to Subhan and Sutikno. The creature's saliva dripped and wet Subhan's clothes.
