The Angkara Murka

The Angkara Murka
The Book of Tri Deshi Chapter Thirty Three


Bodies and crabs walk down from the graveyard on the hill behind the village of Pancasona in the rain. They dragged along with broken, crushed and rotten parts of the body but still stuck to the body.


Wong Ayu stood on the roof of the inn, looking at everything with her inner eyes, including all kinds of delicate creatures that slowly appeared. The living corpse that had just died and was still on the back rose, while the spirit gathered with the other pocongs that were lined up behind the trees and old buildings. Kuntilanak and sundel bolong various types of kikik sahut-muruh. The stench of rotten scum like a comb and waste discharge gushed from the body of buto ijo, a giant green spirit that soared high and large behind a house of citizens. His pair of lips seemed unable to hold the fangs sticking out of his mouth. This wild look was exactly the same as his behavior that could not stand still. He stood unsettled and disheveled as if waiting for the order to move.


Wong Ayu also saw clearly in various corners of the village, from ancient cemeteries, or points that were abandoned for tens or even hundreds of years, there appeared various types of jinn that took odd forms. A human-headed dog, snake or monkey. There are also humans like snakes or crocodiles. There are some other figures that more closely resemble animals or creatures with animal characteristics than human tailed and horned or even scaly slowly out of the pond or well. Banaspati and banaswati in the form of long-haired and fanged heads covered in flames with bluish ends flying. They were like waiting for an order to invade the human world.


Wong Ayu's face hardened. Slowly his body floated from above the roof of the inn. The dark color of the clothes covered the dark sky, almost like night because of the gray clouds and heavy rain.


...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...


Residents from the village of Kaliabang gathered at the Village Hall along with the officials and elders of the village of Pancasona. Other Pancasona residents who are curious about what happened to this group are scattered around the Village Hall building in the form of a large pendopo, which is, without walls so people have a chance to see what's going on inside. Despite the heavy rain, residents are still trying to survive by covering their heads using umbrellas, banana leaves or anything that might be used.


"We can't help you all. First, we don't really understand what's going on. Second, we also have our own lives. Not everyone can accommodate Kaliabang residents. Maybe tonight you can stay here, we will try our best to meet your needs. But tomorrow, we will report to the authorities to investigate what really happened in your village" said one of the residents who was being held in Pancasona.


"slowly. Tonight we all have to get ready for what's coming. We are not just asking for help, we are also warning you. Your life is also in danger," said Lutfi, speaking on behalf of the Kaliabang people, as she is also an important witness to the emergence of female demons in her village.


The village chief tried to take over the conversation when the elder citizen was about to answer Lutfi. "Look, mas Lutfi. Our village has been closely connected since hundreds of years ago, mas Lutfi certainly understand we never refuse the arrival of citizens all. What the citizens experienced must have been truly frightening. We ourselves certainly become aware and alert with all the possibilities that occur. Moreover, indeed some of this time, the three villages from Praguritan to Kalibang experienced many misfortunes, the death of residents with symptoms that are quite unsettling," the village chief cleared his throat. "But, my father and mothers, please understand us as well. It's not a trivial matter. We cannot suddenly decide a matter of being hounded, or hearing mere rumors. What will be our village, especially for our people."


The atmosphere also became boisterous. Each person seems to try to give opinions and refutations. Not to mention the residents of Pancasona themselves who do not believe or participate in worrying at least with what is experienced by the villagers of Kaliabang and if true, may be scouting their village.


"You forgot the reason behind the name of your village? A pancasona? People with legendary strength and courage who dare to take risks come from this village. It has been hundreds of years of historical events with witch doctors and black people from Obong village where the people of Pancasona split, but they still make a decision. Then, what about you guys? Have you ever dared to make a decision or wait for something bad to happen to you?" lutfi continued as the voice of the community slowly subsided.


One citizen spoke. From his stature and appearance indicates that this man is an educated person, perhaps his work background which affects the way he dresses including the way he thinks. "History needs to be remembered to understand self-identity. But it is time for us to move forward and pay attention to the times." He smiled wryly. "It's time we left behind superstitious and mythical things. For these kinds of things, panic can even make us worse off in lostness."


Lutfi looked at the man sharply. "I'm not asking you to understand the situation. Maybe you've abandoned the ancient mindset of this village along with the past, but not a few people still believe in supernatural forces that can endanger our lives."


...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...


Marsudi kept all his men, including Affandi's men, from doing anything, but he asked them to get ready. The rain was quite heavy, while the sky could be said to be completely dark, like evening.


Previously, he had explained to Affandi and Kardiman Setil that their decision to call for reinforcements was not to blame. He even felt that all this was necessary. Even before Affandi explained that Kardiman Setil saw someone carrying a kris on his back waist, and the two witnessed a red kuntilanak figure terrorizing them, Marsudi admitted that his semedics provide some kind of information even there is something big going to happen this Pancasona village. With the presence of Kaliabang villagers in large numbers and suddenly, showing that the big event was indeed happening, it's just that honestly he did not really understand what it was.


So, one way that can be done is to wait for the right time to continue to carry out Affandi's initial plan, which is to attack the innkeeper on the top floor and seize the keris. For the supernatural and supernatural forces that might occur, at least there will be many witnesses and assistance so that the horror may be resisted together.
