The Mystery of Black Rabbit Lake
Chapter 33 - Hefasius Comes

After having breakfast with Athena and Robert, Ares immediately moved to his study. Robert immediately stood up, nodding respectfully at Athena, then followed his Young Master.

“How is the case of Lukas Malcom? What do the police think?" ares asked Robert after Robert walked into his study.

“Police stops investigating the murder of three people at once. The murder of an unidentified man a year ago, Satpam Agus (Satpam who worked at the home of Zeus Anthony) and Lukas Malcom. Because the murder case is related and the investigation of this case is considered to be able to disturb the community if it continues to be opened, because the culprit is not a human, but a ghost, sir," replied Robert.

“Disrelated? How can it relate? Explain it!" Ares' orders.

Robert immediately opened his tablet, then gave a report of the forensic results of the first, second and third victims.

 “All the victims were killed in the same way, strangled with ropes and there were bruises and cracks on his shoulders. The rope was never found and there were no fingerprints at all where the victims were found. The first and second victims were found in the Black Rabbit Lake area. Hmm.. Actually recently, the police found a strange sentence written on the wall of the cottage, the scene of the first victim case. Hefasius is the killer, LkM. And when the police wanted to see Lukas Malcom for questioning, the victim was dead in the toilet.”

“Hefasius is the killer? What the fuck? Who would dare to carve such a strange sentence on the walls of the cottage?" ares asked a little angry.

“Police haven't had time to investigate, sir. And now the case is closed. Sir Hefasius is also dead, sir," replied Robert.

“Show photos of the first victim found in the cottage, Robert," Ares ordered.

Robert immediately shifted his tablet screen and then handed the tablet to Ares.

Ares immediately checked the photo of the first victim on Robert's tablet and his eyebrows linked. Robert who saw the reaction of his Master tried to resist his urge to ask further.

“I've seen him. The birthmark is red at the temple. I can't forget it because the birthmark is so unique, it looks like a small hole. And the man was a leech who had come to Indonesia a year ago, met Hefasius to collect all his debts for losing gambling in Macau" Ares said.

Robert was shocked.

“At that time Hefasius came to my office accompanied by the man and Luke Malcom. Hefasius wanted me to help him pay off all his debts, but I refused firmly. And I don't know how they're going" Ares said.

“Master...it seems like the writing on the wall of the cottage is correct," said Robert trembling.

Ares immediately got up from his chair.

“Search Athens right now," Ares orders Robert.

Ares and Robert immediately ran out of the study, towards Athena's bedroom.

Athena decides to go to Ares' study to pick up some reading books, after a walk on the beach.

Now Athena was in front of the glass door that separated Ares's study from the beach.

The study room was empty, Brother Ares and Robert were out of here apparently, the inner Athena.

Athena pulled the glass door.

“Not locked," said Athena then sliding the glass door and into Ares' workspace. Athena took off her footwear before entering fearing that grains of sand would litter the floor of Ares's study.

Athena immediately walked to Ares's bookshelf and read some of the titles of the books on the shelf. All of a sudden, the glass door closed hard, and the moving curtains quickly closed the glass door. The sunlight that entered into the study suddenly disappeared, the darkness came with a terrifying appearance.

“Kyaaa...," Athena shouted loudly because she was so scared.

And suddenly the books that were inside the shelves floated in the air, forming a circle and spinning violently around it. Athena fell on the floor, cowering in fear and crying hysterically. He tried to protect himself from the vortex of thick books that could injure him.

“Athena... quickly open this door," cried Brother Ares from outside the room.

“Kakak, help me.”

Brak... brak..the door of the workspace was pushed hard to open, but the door was too strong and not easily opened forcibly.

“Nona, are you okay?" robert asked worriedly.

“Help me... hurry help me..," cried Athena frightened as she saw a black shadow suddenly in front of her as she raised her face.

The black shadow drew closer and then slowly the black shadow turned into someone he knew.

“Hephasius," cried Athena again.

The face grinned with great horror, making his handsome face look like a murderer. His hands stretched forward and strangled Athena's neck. Strangling very loudly and whispering the word “Dead You..Dead You..

Athena was unable to breathe, her hand trying to repel the hand of Hefasius that was strangling her, but the hand of Hefasius could not be touched by her hand, as it touched empty air.

Hands that can be seen by the eye, but cannot be touched. Hantttuuu.

Athena's mind was re-enacted on the night of the murder. The man who tried to kill him that night had the same face as the ghost in front of him. Athena became increasingly panicked, frightened and she eventually fainted from extreme fear.

All of the books that floated in the air suddenly fell to the floor, giving rise to a rowdy sound.

“Nona... Miss... Are you okay?" robert asked worriedly as he continued to try to get into the room. All his efforts have been done, breaking down the door many times, until his shoulder hurts, but this door is still not open.

Athena's fainted body then lifted slowly from the floor towards the plasterboard of the room.

Prang.

Ares immediately entered his study through the glass door he had broken with a chair in front of his study.

And Ares's eyes saw Athena's body on the plasterboard suddenly fall quickly to the floor. Ares immediately runs to capture Athena's body before touching the floor.

Bruckk…. Ares has captured Athena. Ares felt his hand in great pain as Athena's body fell violently onto his hand. Ares' body became unbalanced, and Ares eventually fell down with Athena.

Dug. Athena's head stumbled onto the floor.

“Sorry..," said Ares slowly, trying to sit down and pull Athena's body into his arms.

“Athena... Athena.. open your eyes, Athena..," said Ares while rubbing Athena's cheeks, but Athena remained unconscious. Ares then puts Athena to the floor and turns her body to see who has injured Athena. A black shadow suddenly moved quickly and then disappeared.

“Mr... Miss.... are you guys okay?" robert asked as he waved the curtains covering the glass door, sunlight immediately entered the room, illuminating the room as well as showing how dirty the porch of this room was. Fragments of glass and books were scattered everywhere. And his Master was sitting in front of the unconscious Nonanya, then carrying Miss and out of her study through the glass door.

“Call Doctor Fefe here, Robert," Ares orders quickly.

Robert immediately contacted Doctor Fefe and asked him to prepare at the Hades Mansion, as helicopters were waiting for him to take Doctor Fefe to the private island of the Hades Group.
