Asphalt Edge Empty House

55 Mirror Spell

The black sky slowly began to turn orange, dawn was about to rise, Pakde Jarwo rushed to help mbah Wongso to sit cross-legged, the old man's eyes closed and recited a spell. The two of them immediately completed the final ritual to attract the black energy that enveloped the village.

After that, Mbah Wongso made a seal spell, then with the rest of the last remaining energy, he removed the corin in the body. Korin was out to separate himself from raga mbah wongso. Then sit down next to him.

They looked like identical twins, but then the Wongso corin mbah took longer to form a very large black silhouette, then with a single grip, Wongso, the Korin attracted evil energy that penetrated the bodies of Anton Wijaya, and members of the Sandikala sect.

The sound of roars could be heard breaking the silence. Korin Mbah Wongso withdraws the entity that has been bound by the spell by Pakde Jarwo. He forced them into the crater pit of hell. Then along with that, Pakde Jarwo immediately recited the spell to close the gate.

The earthquake returned, the ground closed, and the two old men collapsed afterwards. From the mouth of Mbah Wongso flowed fresh blood. They both fainted right when the ritual was over.

The common hero with mystical things does not know what to do at that time. He simply checked their pulse, and their heart, then brought the two old bodies into the house, then laid them in different rooms.

After being helped by Siska, Wira came back out to tidy up the page. The home garden is very chaotic. The bodies of members of the Sandikala sect scattered where. The hero immediately went to the garden area, he dug a few holes and buried them.

"Hopefully no one else imitates their tracks. This sect has sacrificed many innocent lives."

The hero planted a stone as a marker on each tomb. He gave a special sign for the tomb of Anton Wijaya to make it easier to recognize, if one day there will be a family who asked or want to move the tomb.

Without feeling the sun was getting higher, Wira decided to clean herself, then immediately fill her stomach which began to feel hungry. Siska immediately cooked food for them. After bathing and lunch, Wira rushed into the room to check the condition of Jarwo and Wingso's mbah.

It was unexpected that Pakde Jarwo had come to his senses from fainting and was currently sitting in meditation to recover his depleted inner strength from opening the gates of hell.

Wira did not want to disturb the concentration of Jarwo Pakde, so Wira immediately went to the room where Wongso lay. It turned out that the old man was still unconscious, Wira checked his pulse, and heaved a sigh of relief, Wongso's condition was better, even though he was not yet conscious.

"It seems like the ritual of opening the gates of hell, it is not a random ritual, only people with great guts and abilities like them, who can do it."

"It should be forbidden for this ritual to be performed, because if it fails they will also die swallowed."

Siska approached the dreamy Wira, talking to herself. The beautiful policewoman was curious to see the attitude of her commander who Siska thought was quite strange.

"See what, how did I notice just standing daydreaming in front of Wongso's altar?"

Wira was surprised then turned towards Siska, she beckoned him to come out of the room. After that they sat in the living room to discuss what they had passed last night.

"This situation honestly makes me stun, should we not back down first Sis?"

"I don't feel good for both of them. They're so badly hurt that they're involved in this."

Wira asked Siska's opinion, about the fight against Asih. Today is the night of the blood full moon, ordinary people call it the Red moon phenomenon.

Right at midnight, the strength of Asih and Sitarasmi will reach its peak, but the condition of Pakde Jarwo and Mbah Wongso actually reversed, they are at their lowest point at this time.

Seeing this fact, Wira became worried, she no longer wanted to fall victim, therefore Wira decided to withdraw, while looking for another way to kill Asih. But Siska refused for some reason.

"If we retreat now, the demon slingshot creature, will terrorize the citizens, and what happens here, it is not impossible to spread to the city sir."

"So we'd better go ahead with the mission, whatever the risk. Anyway, Linda's time will be narrower, just one more month, before she's really gone."

Siska insisted on continuing the mission, even though the current condition of his uncle was not in prime condition to continue the battle. The hero thought back, on the one hand Siska's words were indeed true, but on the other hand, he did not want to impose their conditions.

At this time the condition of Pakde Jarwo and Mbah Wongso is clearly too tired, even mbah Wongso is injured, although Wira does not know how severe the condition is, he said, but what was clear was that at this time the village elder was weakly unconscious.

The hero could not possibly rely on them at this time, therefore he could step back, while looking for the best way out. But not until Wira emphasized his words arrived just pakde Jarwo out of the room and said something that made Wira was in the lema.

"We will continue this struggle, the war is already being sown, it is not the time to be daunted now. Although we must die, we must win this war!"

The words of Mr. Jarwo made Wira really touched, although he felt he was a bit selfish, but eventually Wira had to agree with Mr. Jarwo. He doesn't want to be labeled a coward.

The hero tries to analyze, but Pakde Jarwo only answers it with a pinky gesture, which means their chances of winning will remain even though as small as a little finger.

Pakde Jarwo went into the room where Mbah Wongso was lying, it turned out that the old man was also conscious and was meditating. Wira smiled in relief, the two old men were indeed very tough.

Pakde Jarwo sits behind Mbah Wongso to channel his inner energy. After that Mr. Jarwo gave medicine to drink. Slowly Wongso began to fresh, Siska gave them porridge.

"We're not Siska's boy, why don't you just cook rice, if this is how you can be full."

Mr. Jarwo protested, but Siska only smiled, bringing two glasses of water. He took a seat on the edge of the bed and said something that made them all laugh.

"People who are old, will return as a boy sirde. This porridge is good for digestion, after all if you continue to eat hard later tooth tooth tooth tooth tooth tooth tooth toothless you know."

"Have not protested anymore, just eat the porridge until it runs out!"

"Later if not run out in gondol wewe you know.."

Smiling, Siska jokingly mocks his pakdenya teeth which are some fruits already dated. Pakde Jarwo chuckled, remembering the word Siska.

In the past when Siska was a child, Pakde Jarwo often said similar sentences to Siska. He often scares his nephew, when Siska is lazy to eat or sulk to buy sugar.

"The boy still remembers it, even though it's been decades."

Pakde Jarwo wiped his glass eyes. After spending lunch, and resting to recover, he invited them to continue the journey.

Just two hours walk away, they will arrive at the old house known as the empty house edge of asphalt.

As expected, exactly fifteen o'clock they reached the end of the paved road, meaning only five hundred meters more they will arrive at the house that is known haunted by the surrounding residents.

The hero invited them to rest before entering the empty house page at the end of the asphalt. Mbah Wongso and Pakde Jarwo used the opportunity to re-read the contents of the ancient book relics of Ronggo Joyo. After that, they discussed the four.

They think of a backup plan if later the plan they have compiled turns out to be a failure. Pakde Jarwo found a way to defeat Asih. He intended to lock Asih in the space dimension, if their attempt to kill Asih failed.

"We have used the gates of hell, and Ki Wongso has released the corin companion to drag the evil forces back to the lower realms, it is no longer possible to perform the same ritual twice."

"So in my opinion, the only way to defeat Asih is to confine the demon in the empty space of the boundary between two dimensions."

The hero is still confused by the explanation of Mr. Jarwo. What empty space he meant, then how to do all that, while he and Siska did not understand the meaning of the symbol of the Javanese script read pakde Jarwo.

"In this book there is a mantra commonly used to confine the spirit in a mirror. They will be imprisoned in the empty space of the inter-dimensional boundary, after the spell ritual is successful."

"In my opinion, this spell is the most appropriate way as a backup plan if later we do not succeed in killing Asih."

"There's only one weakness here. After we lock him up, all the mirrors in the house must be destroyed, otherwise he will be able to be free from the mirror with the other person's intermediary.

"The devil will easily manipulate the mind, especially to people whose souls are weak. Usually people like to linger long in front of the mirror, and Asih will utilize it to switch places."

"So after we managed to lock it up, we had to destroy all the mirrors in the house, then cast a spell to seal the house so that no one would find the place again."

The explanation of Mr. Jarwo, it makes sense for Wira, but he does not want to choose that option, because it is too risky. The hero is worried that someday there will be people who accidentally find a house and damage the seal.

"I don't think I'd dare, what if it really came true?"

"No. no, this must not happen, I must succeed in killing Asih and Sitarasmi no matter what."

Wira strengthened his resolve. He intended to kill Asih even though his life would be a bet.
