Asphalt Edge Empty House

Chapter 16 The Full Ritual

"Cling.. Cling .."

Two messages went to Arjuna's phonsell, but the young man had not yet had time to read the message. He was still preoccupied with the case of Black Rose dragging his name. That day Arjuna was called to be a witness.

"Jun has an incoming message on your phonsell..!"

Tomy called Arjuna who happened to be passing in the hallway to the investigator's room. Arjuna turned his head, then turned towards Tomy.

"Thank you bang."

Arjuna said briefly, then went back to the desk to pick up his phonsell. In a hurry he immediately opened the contents of the message that turned out to be from Wira.

"Jeez this is a message from Mr. Wira bang...!"

"What's Jun about, why does your face look so tense?"

Tomy got up from the seat, then came to Arjuna who looked tense after reading the contents of his diphonsell message.

"Anu. bang Tom, Mr. Wira asked for help, he sent a map of the location where he is currently located. The problem is that the staff is empty. I'm confused, did I report up or how?"

Arjuna hesitates to talk about the contents of the message to Tomy. But he was also worried about the safety of the Hero. It had been since yesterday that his boss had not given any news, and now he had just sent a message asking for help.

"Truely, our personnel are being assigned to search for Revelation, Siska, and Linda. Everyone's busy with the Black Rose case."

Tomy muttered, frowning his forehead, he could understand the confusion of his junior. After weighing up, Tomy finally invited Arjuna to go to the location where Wira was.

Tomy went to the superior room to ask permission first. Shortly after, Tomy returns to meet Arjuna who is waiting in the hallway.

"Let's go Jun alone!"

"Ready.. Bang."

Arjuna immediately prepared the supplies they needed. Guns, food, and drugs were put in Tomy's car. After feeling enough, the two of them immediately rushed to the location sent by Wira.

"This location seems to be around a dense forest, an alternative path to banyuwangi Jun."

"It looks so bang."

Sahut Arjuna is short. Tomy opened the map and marked the point of the location they were going to. While Arjuna is driving like a person who is in a state of anxiety. The young man wanted to arrive at the location immediately in order to quickly find out the fate of all his friends.

"Jun be careful, we are on a mission to provide assistance to Mr. Wira. Don't get because of your ugly driving way, it makes us miserable."

"Yes bang sorry, I'm just being riled up. Honestly, the message from Mr. Wira makes me a little worried."

Arjuna slows down the car, trying to be calmer. Tomy's words are right, they are currently on a mission to find Wira and her friends. He did not want to be careless and add to the problem.

Almost four hours Arjuna drove his car. They started to get into the deserted lane. There was no house along the way, only a large tree tree, and a close-knit tree in front of them.

"Is this the place to be?"

Arjuna stopped the car, and Tomy got off to make sure they were on the right track.

"If I look at this map, we're supposed to go into the forest area five hundred meters ahead there Jun."

Tomy was not sure, because the distance of the trees was too tight, but he had no choice but to believe in the map as their guide.

"Come bang, means a little more we'll find Mr. Wira's car, or at least the car belongs to the perpetrator."

Arjuna was getting impatient, they immediately entered the car and slowly the car moved towards the point according to the map. With Arjuna's heart in the jungle, he could see the tracks of car tires between the grass and the wet ground.

"It looks like we're getting closer to the purpose of the bang."

"Yes Jun, from here we should be more vigilant."

Tomy looked around, but he did not see any sign of the whereabouts of the Wira's car. The more into the forest the quieter the atmosphere, the sunlight began to be minimal.

"Break...!"

Suddenly, something hit their car, while konyong Arjuna slammed the steering wheel, and immediately stopped suddenly in surprise.

Tomy quickly pulled the gun out of the car's dash board. He rushed out, cocked his gun.

"What is that, bang?"

"Either Jun, let me check, you protect me!"

Tomy immediately stepped in front of the car and saw the body of a young woman lying on the ground almost run over by their car. With Tomy's heart, examine the woman's body.

"He's still alive Jun..!"

Arjuna hurried over to Tomy. He saw the body of a young woman who was drooping weakly with a condition full of blood.

There were many wounds on his body. On the woman's right thigh was stuck with an arrow, while on her back, there was a sharp weapon cut deep enough.

"Come on Jun, help me lift this woman to the car."

"Good bang."

After treating the mysterious woman's wounds, Arjuna and Tomy carry her into the car. After that they negotiated. Tomy decides, Arjuna will go to look for a medicine hall in a nearby village, while he will enter the forest to find the whereabouts of Wira.

Tomy picked up some of the gear he needed to survive. The gun, dagger, medicine, rope, and some food were neatly arranged in a large backpack.

Before parting they shake hands, then Tomy embraces his junior while patting him on the shoulder.

"After finding the health center, you go straight to the Jun police station, ask people to keep the woman tight, then come back here immediately."

"Definitely bang, I'll be back, once this woman's business is settled."

Arjuna got into the car, then slowly left Tomy alone walking into the forest.

In a different place Siska opened her eyes, she turned her gaze all over to find out where she was at the moment.

Siska's head still felt heavy, her eyes blurred, the beautiful policewoman, trying to recognize who was nearby.

"Where am I, what is this place, why is it so cold here?"

Siska observed the entire large room, which was lit by only a few torches and dozens of large candles located on the marble table. His hands and feet are tied.

Beside Siska was seen a girl who had also just regained consciousness. She is Linda, the reporter seems confused when she finds herself tied to a table-shaped rock.

"What is this place, why is it so scary?"

The two of them tried to recall the incident two days ago, before they ended up bound in the cold room and the rancid smell of blood like this.

"Siska... Where are we now, what's going on, why is this place so creepy, it smells weird like the scent of blood?"

"I don't know Lin either, after we were sealed in Black Rose, which I remember we were brought here by car, he said, then after that it seemed like they were injecting something that made my whole body harden, and now we're here, tied up, that's all I remember.

Siska and Linda thrashed around trying to escape the shackles that bound their bodies. But all that effort was in vain. The ties in their bodies were too strong, while they were still in a weakened state.

The influence of drugs injected by the men of Leo Hadi Wijaya, making the body of both as if paralyzed.

"Oh the bride-to-be of the queen's kanjeng offering is already aware apparently. Welcome to the Sandikala Temple. May you be at home in the temple, where the goddesses dwell."

"Just calm down, you won't be here long, the queen will soon send you to perpetuity."

"The eternal world in which you no longer experience suffering, there is only pleasure, and happiness."

Suddenly a large masked tall man wearing a red robe was present between Siska and Linda who were trying to escape.

On the neck of the masked man was a necklace with a star-shaped pendulum, exactly the same as Hana's tattoo. The girl found dead dries up in the harbor warehouse area.

"So that star tattoo is the epitome of the Sandikala sect apparently."

Siska whispered in her heart, she began to understand, why Wira was so confident that she would be able to find the evidence behind the mystery of Hana's death.

It turns out that the hero theory of Hana's death proved to be true, having something to do with the Black Rose, and a secret society, or sect called Sandikala.

"Hey coward, if you dare to take off your mask, let me see clearly the face of someone who only dares to torture women."

"Haha...!"

"These polwan's mouth is sharp as well apparently, but it's okay, later on during the full moon ritual you both will definitely have a chance to see our faces."

"Until that time comes, you better take care of your tongue or I'll have to cut it off, miss Polwan."

The masked man left Siska and Linda with a big question on their minds.

"Who is this guy, Sandikala, what organization is this?"

"Are they really a cult, or just a human trafficking syndicate?"

Siska closed her eyes, her heart was pounding, she could imagine, what the Sandikala sect people would do at the full moon ritual.

"Whatever way we have to get out of this place Lin."

Linda was silent resigned, said the masked man really had terrorized her mentally. Linda could not imagine if she would end up in this place to be the victim of a sect called Sandikala.

"I shouldn't have gotten too involved in the police business. Now that it's too late, I'm here bound to wait for death to come."

Linda regrets her courage. He had never once thought of the impact arising from his curiosity, it would be this big.

Now Linda and Siska are at their weathered point. Only a miracle can help both.
