SALOKA RESIDENCE
CHAPTRE 016

In front of the building, John is still in his car and tries to contact Wick.

“Gosh. Where is this hooligan?”

Before John starts the engine, from the back of the passenger seat, Han, who had gone into hiding, appears and strangles John from behind.

With an umbilical cord, Han tied John's neck and pulled him from behind. Making John unable to speak and thrashing, trying to release himself.

“Halo, Mr. Police. Do you want to play around, or want to die?” said Han who kept pulling the rope hard.

Han took a knife from his pocket, then stuck it into John's neck.

Blood poured heavily from his neck, making John look like a chicken being slaughtered.

John died at Han's hands slowly and horribly.

From outside the car, a well-dressed man came to John's car. The man was wearing a black suit and a white shirt.

He walked up to the car, and as he opened the car door, John fell out with blood soaking around him.

The atmosphere in front of the deserted building was so quiet that no one was aware of the incident.

The neatly dressed mysterious man looked at Han who was also looking at him with a smile.

He moved in the back seat, then stabbed Han with a syringe filled with deadly drugs.

As soon as Han's body went limp, it couldn't do anything.

“You have failed to do everything. I make art, not just kill someone like you,” said the mysterious Man.

“Why.. Why are you doing this?” said Han stammering.

The mysterious man strangled Han and said,

“You're right. Wh why? Why are you doing this without my consent? We have rules to play. Don't you remember it?”

The mysterious man is named Rocky. A man who helped Eli take care of his orphanage first.

Rocky has a thin and tall body, with a height of 189 cm which makes him look tall.

Rocky is also one of the residents in SALOKA RESIDENT who rarely go home because they have to work and have another place to live.

All the boarding house residents learn of his crimes, but they instead help Rocky, for fear of being killed by him, including Han himself who is now his victim.

Rocky is also one of the psychopaths who worship demons. There were many victims he killed.

Some who have been made a god's material, he will kill the man, because he has considered useless.

“Thank you for your hard work, Friend,” Rocky said casually when Han was completely lifeless.

On the roof of the boarding house, Jack was chatting with Jane through his cell phone.

The two of them exchanged stories and joked from the phone. Jack also told me that, all the residents in his new boarding house are very strange and very suspicious.

“Gosh. Really?” jane asks to hear Jack's story about all the occupants of his boarding house from a phone call.

“Which is clear, they are all out of their minds. I even saw one of them perform a devil worship ritual inside one of the rooms.”

“Ritual satan worshipers? Well, I guess I only saw it in movies, but, you even said the same.”

“Yes that's how it is. Looks like they also set up their own sect among the residents.”

“Darling, you must be so tired, you don't have to think too deeply and take a quick break.”

“Honey! I'm so tired today. I work from the morning and have to be late after that. Let's continue tomorrow. It doesn't matter to you, does it?” jane said in a lethargic voice.

Jane is so tired and tired of hearing Jack's story about all the neighbors of his new boarding house, that he wants to end the conversation on the phone.

“Hmm. All right, then. Good night, Jane,”

“Ya, Baby. You should rest too. Don't keep staying up late and thinking about something excessive.”

The phone connection was cut off, Jack took a deep breath, then exhaled again.

He's still thinking, why doesn't Jane trust what she says, about all those weird-looking boarding houses.

“Hei! You must be a new resident.”

Rocky comes from the stairs and greets Jack who sees the outside of the building from the roof. Walk towards Jack slowly.

Jack turned his body. First time he saw Rocky at that boarding house. He also doesn't know that Rocky is the psychopath who controls the boarding house.

“Ya,” answer Rocky briefly.

“Aunt Eli said, there is a new occupant in room 313. You seem to be that guy?” continued Rocky.

“Yes,” Jack nodded his head.

Jack turned his face. Looking at the beautiful sky, without asking back, who Rocky is. He was very reluctant to meet and meet new people.

“Wah! The view is beautiful here, isn't it? When you were in the room, it felt as tight as it was in a coffin.”

“However, when you are here enjoying the scenery and drinking beer, it will taste very different,” said Rocky who also saw the view from the roof.

“Yes, you're right,” replied Jack briefly.

Rocky smiled and looked at Jack who was standing next to him. It makes Jack feel uncomfortable, with Rocky's smile and gaze.

“Mong-by the way, why are you smiling and looking at me like that?” jack looked back at Rocky because he felt uncomfortable.

“Gosh. Sorry if I offended or made you feel uncomfortable,” Rocky said. “Tak what. I just find it strange that you see me like that,” Jack turned back his face.

“That's all because... because I like you,” Rocky said. “What? What do you mean?” jack asked in surprise, looking back at Rocky.

“There was something that came to my mind the first time I saw you. Are you also a person like me?”

Rocky said it looked like he saw a psychopathic soul from inside Jack, but Jack just kept quiet because he did not know what Rocky said.

“Forget.” Rocky picked up some of the beer he had brought in a plastic bag. Offering it to Jack. “Do you want to drink with me? I just bought it, so, it's still very cold.”

Jack finally receives the beer and sees some scars on Rocky's left hand.

“Apparently your hand is hurt,” Jack said opening a bottle of beer cans.

“Oh, this.” Rocky saw a wound on his left hand. “This happened while I was working,” he continued.

Rocky says casually, so Jack doesn't feel that the wound was the mark he killed Han.

“Oh. You must have worked so hard that your hands were hurt,” Jack said, enjoying a cold beer.

Rocky was silent for a moment and looked into Jack's hands.

“I'm so envious of you. Your fingers look smooth and you have a handsome face. Are you a writer?” ask Rocky spontaneously.

“Hh. How do you know?” ask Jack. Rocky smiled slightly and said, “Everyone has a unique aura emanating from his face and I can see that from you.”

Jack just nodded occasionally sipping a beer. Jack is quite connected when talking to Rocky because he speaks clearly, unlike other boarding residents.
