Chapter 38 The Ancient Book

The hero still bowed lethargic his hands clenched in anger. Still remembered in his mind while on an astral journey to seize Linda's soul which was brought to the astral dimension.

"I didn't expect Sandikala to be this complicated, if only we had snatched Linda from the snake."

Wira muttered softly almost without a sound. The atmosphere in the astral dimension still affected his mind, the sound of sound without form ringing in the ear. The heroes who used to be rational and skeptical of mystical things, are now very close to them.

The hero's plan starts to be sensitive to occult things. But he always refused it. This is a bad experience that he wants to forget. Immediately after rescuing Linda, Wira retreats from the police force and forgets everything about Sandikala.

"Actually what happened there, sirde, what did you find in the supernatural?"

"Did you meet Siska's friend?"

"How are things going, is there still a loophole to save Linda Pakde?"

Siska wants to know the full story of the journey of Wira and Pakde Jarwo as he enters the astral dimension. He was very curious to see the look on the face of the Wira who was so disappointed.

"Actually sirde has already made it through the astral dimensional gate of Sis, and although it is faintly faint, but we are sure to have found your friend."

"The girl was in a daze to find a way out, if the old snake had not stopped us, we would have brought her back to her body."

Pakde Jarwo told Siska everything they experienced. The girl became disappointed to hear what was happening in the astral realm. There was a sense of regret that plagued his heart.

"I didn't expect this to be so weird. If it had been that time, I wouldn't have left Linda alone."

Siska went back to blaming herself, if only she had been braver then, it was possible that they would have escaped death together, or else they would have died together, so there was no regret in Siska's heart now.

"Actually we still have a chance, but we have to meet the person who opened the astral dimensional portal."

"Whoever he is, he must be a noble figure, his knowledge must be high, so he is able to open an inter-dimensional portal."

Pakde Jarwo tells them that they still have a chance to save Linda, as long as the hero wants to meet the person who opened the astral dimensional portal, and persuade him to cancel the agreement that has been made.

Of course this will not be easy to do because, the risk for people who make a pact with the devil will lose their lives if they cancel it.

Hearing the words of Mr. Jarwo, Wira asked himself. Will Anton Wijaya be willing to cancel the deal with the devil. If not, then the hero must force it.

If Mr. Jarwo's speech is correct about the ability of people who open the portal of astral dimensions, then Anton Wijaya is not an arbitrary figure. He must be a powerful and highly-educated man, as has been described by Mr. Jarwo.

"But is Anton Wijaya really as strong, and as great as Mrde Jarwo described?"

The hero still hesitates with his own mind, but of course he must be prepared with all the worst possibilities.

"If indeed I have to face Anton Wijaya, then I must have a strategy to deal with him."

"But what kind of strategy can I use to deal with black magic?"

"It's wrong that I first die before fighting."

Busy Hero struggling with his own mind, while pakde Jarwo still not sure there are people in the present day, who are able to perform the ancient ritual.

"Actually I know who the person who has performed the ritual of opening the dimensional gate was sirde."

"Here's Anton Wijaya."

"He was a prominent businessman, and also the chairman of a heretical sect called Sandikala."

Pakde Jarwo was surprised, his forehead wrinkled, he was a bit hesitant with the words of the Hero. After decades he had only heard again, there were people who dared to make a blood covenant with the demons.

"If your words are true, that person must have a forbidden book."

"The ancient lost book. It's really serious, whatever way you have to be able to force that person to close the portal, or the earth's order will be broken."

Pakde Jarwo's face suddenly tense, he immediately headed out and raised his face to the sky. There was something in the sky that made him really worried.

"You better go home now, force the man Anton, to stop this madness, or there will be a great disaster going on."

"This rain is not normal, hurry up and prevent that man."

Pakde Jarwo quickly rebuked Siska and Wira. The old man told the two of them to immediately return to Surabaya. I don't know what omen Pakde Jarwo saw in the sky, but it seems clear he was worried about something.

Without asking again Wira immediately invited Siska back to the car. They say goodbye and then immediately leave the yard of Jarwo's house.

It was late at night, when Wira drove Siska to his house, the rain had not yet subsided, but Wira still broke through the rain so that he could quickly get home.

At exactly twenty-three p.m., the hero arrived at the door, his eyes suddenly interrupted by a letter tucked under the door.

"Letter?"

"The time is modern but there are still people who take the time to write a letter."

The hero shook his head then picked up the letter. Shortly after, he went in and turned on all the lights. Tiredness that whack makes Wira want to quickly go to sleep.

Unknowingly the Hero placed the letter on the dining table, after drinking a glass of water, he went straight to the room and immediately fell asleep.

In the morning when the sun was high, Wira woke up from her sleep, with her eyes still half closed, she stepped towards the bathroom. After doing some routine activities, Wira sat at the dinner table preparing to be ready for breakfast.

Long enough for Wira to realize there was a letter lying near her elbow. The hero does not remember that greeting he put the letter on the dinner table, without having time to read it.

The hero grabs the envelope near the elbow, while ******* the omlet in his mouth. Slowly he opened the envelope, then began to read the contents.

"Honourable AKP Wira Raditya."

"Include me Ronggo Joyo, Wijaya's family lawyer. The purpose of this letter is to invite you to meet at the Royal Reatorant."

"You should come by eleven tomorrow afternoon, because we need to talk."

The hero was stunned after reading the message on the piece of paper he held. For a few seconds Wira thought, about the invitation that seemed strange to him.

"Ronggo Joyo?"

"Why did this man come to see me?"

"Did he know that I was investigating his employer?"

The hero guessed the meaning of Ronggo Joyo's invitation. He slowly folded the letter in his hand, then immediately went to the room. Before long, Wira had changed clothes and was in front of the wheel.

A moment later the red sedan was already driving down the road in the city of Surabaya. Wira deliberately play his favorite rock music just want to divert the curiosity in his mind.

"What do you think Ronggo Joyo is going to talk about?"

The question sank in his mind. The hero drove his car a little faster, impatiently looking for answers to questions that plagued his mind.
