Traveling to the Unseen Realm
103. Powder Occupant Jin

At that time in the room there was a human-like figure wrapped in a shabby white cloth while bending in the middle of the room while turning his back to the door. The figure slowly began to straighten his body.

And when his body began to stand upright, it was clearly visible if there was a blackish red gaping hole in the back until it penetrated into the stomach. The hole was filled with maggots that wriggled out with dripping blood. Apparently that's what made Amanda scream.

" I.. Is that what Mr...?" ask Amanda nervously.

Feeling disturbed by Amanda's voice, the creature that Ranvier knew as a sundel figure turned towards Amanda while extending his hand which was only a bone with skin and flesh peeled off.

Amanda's heart almost slipped out of place when she saw the sighting of the creature in front of her. Amanda's body stiffened, her face paled and her mouth gaping without a sound. How not, in addition to his disgusting figure, the creature also revealed his face in the form of a skull without eyes and nose. When the creature grinned at Amanda, the girl's body just fell to the floor.

It turns out Amanda's fear has exceeded the threshold to make her fall unconscious.

Instead of helping Amanda, Ranvier simply ignored Amanda and let Amanda sit leaning against the wall in a fainting state.

" gr, ngerepotin. But sorry Amanda, I don't have time to help you." murmured Ranvier then rushed into Mutia's room.

The creature in the form of a broad sundel seemed to welcome the presence of Ranvier with both hands expanded. The stench emanating from his body made Ranvier snort annoyed at the extreme nausea.

Not wanting to waste time, Ranvier immediately threw a grain of salt given Daeng Payau towards the creature. Simultaneously, a silvery white light rushed towards the creature. Ranvier did not know where the silvery-white light came from, but Ranvier felt that with the light, his attack had a strength that was many times greater than usual.

As a result of the unexpected attack, the sundel bolong screamed in pain. The screams screech to make the fur crouch.

" Go away and don't you dare come again...!" ranvier said loudly while continuing to throw salt grains.

The explosion was seen every time the grain of salt about the body of the creature in the form of a hollow sundel.

After a while, the creature in the form of a broad sundel was crouching while crossing both arms above the head. Before it completely vanished he looked at Ranvier with a hateful gaze. But his gaze was as if cut off as the silvery light returned and flashed right in front of him.

After it was quiet, silent, no sound.

The creature in the form of a bitch also left just like that. All that was left was the smell of burnt meat and Ranvier shuddered because he realized that the body of the creature was a burnt sundel.

Ranvier took a long breath. He spread his eyes all over the room. He looked for the silvery light that had helped him get rid of the creature.

" Thank God it's finished too. But that silvery ray came again. And because of him I was able to get rid of that thing faster than usual. Who has sent the light or what it really is" murmured Ranvier as he rubbed his face.

It was then that Erwin barged into Mutia's house. He was shocked to see Amanda sitting unconscious in front of the room. But he smiled as he saw Ranvier coming out of Mutia's room in a fine state.

" Thank God..., Lo gapapa Vier...?" ask Erwin.

" Alhamdulillah, I am gapapa Win..," said Ranvier.

" I heard a loud bang, I panicked so I came here. What the hell exploded Vier...?" asked Erwin curiously.

" No one exploded Win. You're wrong with kali..," said Ranvier.

" Suer Vier. It wasn't just me who heard the sound of the explosion. The mothers who were nolongin Mutia also horrified. They are afraid that there is a gas cylinder or something that explodes, so I was told to come here." said Erwin.

" Nobody exploded here. Most explosive doang..," said Ranvier.

" What exploded...?" ask Erwin.

" It's nothing. Instead of Lo nanya mulu, better help wakein Amanda gih..," pinta Ranvier.

" How come this chick can be here Vier. Why is he here...?" ask Erwin.

" Where do I know. Ask directly the same person later..," said Ranvier reluctantly.

Seeing Ranvier's attitude, Erwin also knew if there was something that made his best friend uncomfortable when he was close to Amanda. After Ranvier exited the house, Erwin crouched down to wake Amanda.

After helping to get rid of the creature in the form of a sundel bolong, Ranvier rushed away without seeing Mutia first.

" Why didn't you say goodbye to Mutia Vier...?" ask Erwin.

" It's not necessary. I don't want to make Mutia ashamed..," said Ranvier.

" Shame why...?" asked Erwin not to understand.

" Sorry, I can't tell you about this same thing as Lo Win. I have to keep Mutia's good name..," Ranvier said as he glanced at Erwin at a glance.

" Oh that. Okay, gapapa. I also don't want to make a story. Especially if the reason is the good name Mutia..," said Erwin with a smile.

Ranvier nodded and looked back out the window. In his heart he hopes that after this Mutia will no longer be involved with mystical things.

Ranvier had just finished cleaning up when his phone rang. He smiled looking at the name Pearl on his phone screen.

" Assalamualaikum..., why Mut...?" ask Ranvier.

" Wa. wa alaikum. Thanks Vier..," said Mutia.

" All together. Where are you now...?" ask Ranvier.

" It doesn't matter where I am. I just want to thank you for helping me. I'm sorry for not believing what you said." Mutia said as she wiped her tears.

" Shortly, where are you going Mutia ?. You are still under contract and you have to take care of Amanda, remember that," Ranvier said.

" I know. I will not run away from responsibility. I just don't want you to worry, so I'm calling you.." Mutia said.

" I wouldn't be worried if you'd promise me one thing Mutia. Never use it again, no matter what. Because it's dangerous for you." Ranvier said solemnly.

" Where do you know if I..," Mutia's speech was interrupted as Ranvier cut off quickly.

" Anyway I know because it's the creature who knows. He came out of the powder you used to wear that was Mutia. When you cast a spell, the powder-dwelling creature is called and it is he who works to make you look attractive in front of others. And without using the powder you've been seen pulling Mutia..," said Ranvier carefully.

Mutia was silent for a moment then continued her words.

" I used it because I needed something to help me 'look' and it worked. Moreover, Nyai powder dwellers often come to visit Me just to comfort Me." said Mutia.

" The person you call Nyai is not actually a Mutia human.", Ranvier said.

" If not a human being then what is dong...?" mutia asked confusedly.

" He. the subtle-creature of Sundel bolong Mutia. If you don't believe me, you can ask Amanda. He was squirming earlier. So seremnya he passed out you know..," said Ranvier.

" Haha..?, sundel bolong. I could have been Vier. Though all this time I knew she was a grandmother...?" tanya Mutia riled up.

" Yes can be. It's their ability to trick the human eye. Hence from now on stop relying on such rich mystic objects. You better pray Mutia. Wudhu water is a natural susuk for the body and face to look attractive..," said Ranvier.

" Yes Vier. Thanks again yes. I'm leaving Good night." said Mutia.

Ranvier nodded then stared at his phone screen for a moment. He then dries his hair using a towel.
