Indigo: The Hand of the Demon
Hollow Girl Pt's. 2
#Arc 1: Nightmare
...
After King Lamiel had given up. We returned to the human world, and made a family meeting between the Jordis.
It's been gathered by my grandfather, me, father, mother, and Shinta.
"Dad, I've reported this incident to the central officials. And they said we should take responsibility for the Hollow because it's happening in our family's territory. But they also condition that we continue to have to keep an eye on his development, if in a year he is still a Hollow, with great pity he must be sent to the spirit world, and be considered dead." Obviously my father to grandfather.
"From the secret government committee the metaphysical division also expects that this incident will not undermine the stability of the state in spiritual affairs." Continued the mother who also just finished a meeting with one of the government divisions that take care of spiritual matters in our country.
"We as a Jordis family must not fail like the Walker family 10 years ago. Which means we have to protect this Hollow from becoming a host to the special-level evil spirit that killed it. The whole family will be scattered, and from here, I hope Rey with Shinta can be more dominant in the search. Roy, please take care of Rey's school so she gets a leave of absence for some time. I hope we can find him as soon as possible." Grandpa's orders.
"Good, dad." Said my father.
...***...
After the family meeting was over, I with Shinta prepared ourselves from where Nabilah was buried.
We looked around the area to find traces that Nabilah might have accidentally left behind, for which I opened an ancient book about the characteristics of a Hollow.
From this book it is said that Hollow always wears all-white clothes with a body scent that smells like lily flowers, and footprints are bright indigo.
"That means we have to look for traces of indigo-colored aura, then use our noses to look for the scent of lily flowers." I said to Shinta.
"That means only I can find this trace because I can see the human aura. But... How's the scent of lily?"
"... I don't really understand flowers either."
"I thought so."
I also accompanied Shinta to find footprints around the cemetery, we circled around, tracing all the blocks, streets, starting gate places, to the final gate. But Shinta said she found no trace of indigo-colored aura.
"All the tracks here are white, which means they're ordinary human tracks. How's this, Rey?" Ask.
"Well, if I were Nabilah, where would I go?"
"If you were Nabilah, you would have run home and cried to your mother, hahaha..."
"Damn. Uh but... Come to think of it, there's no harm in checking out the house, right?" My toot.
"Luck you guys, let's go there, it's a good thing you've been quietly following him. Who knows if his tracks here are invisible because they're curbed by other human tracks."
...
Upon arriving, we saw Nabilah's house which was still crowded surrounded by colleagues from his family who were very sad.
Actually just before coming here, I had time to buy a stel all-black suit in a Mall, because I had to blend in among all the big guys. Shit, my heart is pounding in fear of being discovered by them. But there is no other way for me to find the trail of Nabilah.
"Just relax Rey, don't be too flashy. I'll help you look around." Shinta. I just agree with his words.
Finally I entered the house of Nabilah, then saw many types of people here whose attitudes were all beyond my expectations.
There are those who talk about company shares, plans to recruit colleagues who have worked for a long time as one of the candidates for the successor of the company, he said, all these jerks were fighting over the position Nabilah had left without remembering that Nabilah had just died.
"There is no conscience." Chirps Shinta.
Suddenly there was a man about the age of me talking about Nabilah to one of his friends.
"It was fitting that he died, he rejected me that night in a very low way. Cih, she thinks I like her. Whereas if I wanted to, I could get 10 Nabilah easily, the basis of*****fucking."
Words really...
My hands clenched as hard as a rock, my body temperature suddenly rose to beat the cold room temperature. So hot the temperature that I emit, people there to the rage not play.
"Rey calm yourself down! Remember our goal!"
"What kind of house is the air suddenly this hot? Ah shit." Mumbled the man.
"Quite Rey, enough... Our plan could fail if we make a fuss here!"
I exhaled slowly until the air temperature around us returned to normal, I should be able to control myself during this situation. They are just ordinary humans, it could be dangerous if I suddenly woke the Devil from my left hand.
"Rey? Is it calmer?"
"Yes." Yeah."
...
This big house I searched secretly, every room I entered with the help of Shinta who saw the situation around. The electromagnetic pulses that special level ghosts do can easily make the cctv camera in this house error for a while.
The 1st floor was finished I searched, then I was sure that Nabilah's room was on the 2nd floor. I carefully walked slowly so that the people there did not suspect my gurgling.
Long journey short, I arrived in front of a room with a bright white door with a room slightly open. But I had not yet entered the room, Shinta held my hand.
"Wait for Rey, the evil air from this room is so thick. The creature that killed Nabilah is still inside. Let me go in first."
"All right."
A moment later Shinta slowly entered Nabilah's room. But he immediately shouted my name!
"REYS!"
Shocked, and panicked at the same time. I immediately went into Nabilah's room, and I, and Shinta, found the special-level ghost strangling Uncle and Aunt Nabilah's neck.
"There's a guest, hehehe..."
"Take them off right now!" My atonement.
"If not why? What are you guys gonna do, huh?" Threatening, he stared at us.
I walked towards him calmly.
"Well, if you insist, I'd better send you straight to hell. No need to pass sorting again in the afterlife."
His face was approaching towards my face that was upset instead of playing.
"You will soon regret everything you have done to this family."
Once again I raised my left hand towards his face.
"Huh? What's this left hand of yours?"
The ghost sharpened his vision, then he suddenly turned upside down when he looked at something that was inside my palm. He was as if being glared at by a figure whose strength was thousands of times that of him, the ghost was stunned in fear.
The demon from inside my palm smiled, he looked back at the ghost who was already very trembling.
"Boo!"
"YOUTDOOR...!!! THAT CAN'T BE HIM, RIGHT? HAAAA...!!! KEEP YOUR HANDS OFF ME." She screamed in fear, her grip slipped from Uncle's neck, and Aunt Nabilah's.
"Are you looking into both eyes?" Manyaku flat.
"Why j-j-j-j-if a-I was staring at m-m-m-ma-ma-his eye?"
"If you do, you'll go straight to hell. Vip line. Look at the big hole above your head."
The ghost raised his head to the ceiling slowly, then he again shouted as a portal mouth descended engulfing his entire body towards the deepest Hell.
"YOUTDOOR...!!!"
A hot aura spread throughout the room, I instantly covered Uncle, and Aunt Nabilah with a blanket in her room rather they did not feel the heat of the aura from Hell.
The atmosphere instantly turned silent...
"I've saved you 2 times. Are you sure you don't want to give me a little freedom? Hehe..." The heavy voice coming from my left palm.
"Sorry, I was forced to take advantage of your charisma because I didn't have enough power to get rid of the ghost earlier, Shinta's power has also been drained a lot today."
"Rey, if you're ready to share a body with me, I'll be willing to make you as strong as I am. Imagine how good it is to be an Indigo. You want to be an Indigo, right? Hm? When your blood is indigo, your soul will be immortal, and you will be the strongest being in Heaven, Hell." Obviously the Devil.
"Don't listen to him, Rey." Shinta said to hold me.
"Be quiet, Shinta, once let me have a little chat with the people closest to me. Isn't that right, Rey? At least you've been lured by the emotion I channeled earlier, strangely your body accepted my power willingly. Far from the bottom of your heart, you are not at all opposed to my existence here. In other words..."
"You... I want my power too."
"SILENCE!" I said firmly while trying to hold back, I took the glove that my grandfather had smeared from the pocket in my suit. Then I locked my left hand in that glove.
"See, you hypocrite." Say the Devil one last time with a small laugh before being made to fall asleep again.
...
"How are Uncle and Aunt Nabilah, Shinta?" Asking me worried.
Shinta smiles.
"They're fine, I've also erased their memories an hour back. In 10 minutes they will wake up and return to entertain colleagues. The problem is that we didn't find any trace of his foot aura at all." Answer Shinta.
"That's it..."
My eyes looked around Nabilah's room, then accidentally saw a book of novels lying on her dresser.
I looked around at the novel, then I was reminded of something.
"Shinta's..."
"Yes?"
"I think I know where Nabilah is."
"Really?!"
...***...
I ran from Nabilah's house to a place I had never thought of before, with a thump I really wished Nabilah was there, he was no fool! As a person who had passed his own death, it felt very unreasonable that he went home and met the ghost that killed him. He would definitely look for another alternative place where he thought that place was the beginning of all this misfortune befall him.
And that place is...
NO...!!!
"Mother Ron?!"
A gray cat greeted us, ah, I know who he is. "Colonel Thomas, I'm sorry I suddenly slammed the door of your shop, it's just me—" I haven't had time to finish my words, the Colonel who possessed the body of his cat immediately said, "he's inside."
I quickly walked into Mother Ron's shop, but she wasn't in the sales area, she must be in the living room!
"Mother Ron! Ron's mother!"
I kept calling her name until at some point I was looking at her in the dining room together...
"Go."
"Rey?" Ron's mother was astonished.
"Thank God I found you."
My eyes and Nabilah's are intertwined, with a smile, I welcome his return from the dead.
"I found you."
"You?"

Eps. 7: NDE, or Near-Death Experience, or Dead Suri is a condition in which a person has been declared clinically dead before finally coming back to life. In the case of Nabilah, the NDE he experienced led him to a case where he turned into a Hollow, or a creature from the dead who came back to life because it was not time to die. Hollow becomes a struggle between the psychic and King Lamiel the ruler of the spirit world because its existence can make both worlds unstable in spiritual matters. Hollow bodies have a soul vacuum that allows them to be possessed by special-level spirits, or even be the host of super-power beings like Devils, and Angels. In this new case, a Hollow named Shinta appears in the territory of the Yordis family, which will be the responsibility of all members of the Jordis family.
