Chapter 46: Mysteries in the hometown (1)



It was the day Rachel met Arqan's family at her brother Amir Kencana's birthday party.


Members of the extended family who attended the birthday party include female cousins from the mother's family and aunts from the father's family. There were no grandparents because they were gone.


The little birthday party was attended by several neighbors and Arqan and Rachel as an extra.


Rachel put more than one kind of gift into her card to melt the heart of her future sister-in-law. While his mother asked who the woman Arqan brought, of course after the birthday party was over and the neighbors came home.


The mother has strong instincts and has memorized the habits of her child. Arqan will not bring women home unless he is familiar with her. His mother knew Marry, she was Arqan's only female friend.


"later mother asked. This is Ananda Rachel, my future wife. "


Rachel hid a little of her face with a veil in shame of being called that way.


Arqan's mother and sister immediately greeted Rachel. As if not care about when and how Arqan met Rachel, the mother immediately filed a wedding date for the two of them.


The mother has money from her retired husband as well as money from Arqan. Arqan has also often told about Rachel to her mother, but the mother never expected Rachel to be her child's partner.


"so you already know about our relationship? " ask Rachel with a beaming face.


"of course I know. I didn't expect you to convert to marry my son. "


"it should have been Lina and Astrid didn't come home just now. " Lina is Arqan's cousin. And Astrid is her aunt, they both go straight home after the birthday party is over.


Mother was very happy with the news of the engagement that Arqan told her the other day. Rachel can keep her speech and can think of the topic of conversation that pleases Arqan's mother. Arqan was also happy to see the familiarity of his mother with Rachel.


Amidst the joyful atmosphere, Nein's instincts in Arqan rose and a shaman passed in front of Arqan's house. Arqan's parents' house is located in a village on the edge of the forest. If the house of Ortu Rachel with the forest is still separated by fields and empty land, Arqan house is directly adjacent to the forest.


Not infrequently residents around see the appearance of the forest. While shamans were never seen in the village.


"open your inner eye, the human eye will not be able to see one's true nature. Dressed, but with exceptional ability, playing with fire in stealth."


Arqan's attention was fixated entirely on the man across the street. The man looked down under the pine tree, his hand doing something like he was planting something.


"what did he do Nein? "


"from his aura he learned black magic. You better check under that tree after this. "


After the man left, Arqan went directly under the tree with the excuse of wanting to breathe fresh air.


Looks former excavation and a ledge plugged in there.


"what day is this? " Arqan asked Nein again.


"on Friday. You should know better than me." replied Nein.


Arqan laughed amusedly. The stick that the man stuck in was not a talisman or any other magic item, but he was following the advice of old people. Remember the word old man first, measure the tail of the cat on Friday and then plug it into the ground, surely your cat will not litter anymore.


Arqan's theory was immediately proven when a black cat pooped under the tree.


"we were too prejudiced against that man. Duh, where have I memorized his face..." Arqan underestimated Nein's instincts. Nein was very sure that the person was a shaman and was a dangerous person.


"i'm sure he's a shaman. My judgment on the aura of a witch is never wrong! It may just be a coincidence that he carried out the myth. I'm sure he'll do something bad to the villagers! "


Arqan just accept the wishes of his partner. It just so happened that his mother wanted them to stay the night. Her heart was so kind, she listened to Rachel's story and felt compassion for her. Really a good mother, even if not a biological parent.


Rachel loaned her brother Arqan's room. The house actually has 2 empty rooms but both are converted into warehouses and goods that Arqan made when Junior High School.


Rachel saw the item, Arqan himself called the items made during Junior High as a failed product.


"why fail? Is your assembling ability not yet qualified?" Rachel guessed Arqan's answer.


"no.. I always fail because I don't have decent material. About the ability I believe the ability of the past is not much different from the present" explained Arqan while turning on the AC.


"so arrogant of you. What do you usually do at night in your parents' house? " Rachel wants to compare the excitement of the night with Arqan. Rachel used to love playing at night because the village was very crowded, and the people did not know the time. Including Rachel herself.


Arqan replied "if you mean hanging out at the patrol post I never did that. The patrol post fell off and I didn't like the unimportant crowd." replied Arqan with a bit of scathing.


**


The night is getting late.


Arqan waited until everyone fell asleep. After all the slumber came the time for Arqan to go out of the house.


Nein's real body left in the hamlet woke up with her eyes closed alias guarding while sleeping. Nein divided her soul into 3, as did her strength. One in Rachel, another in Arqan, another in the hamlet.


"sit on the porch of your house." ordered Nein.


Arqan obeyed Nein's orders. Though frightening, Arqan is forced to do this to prove Nein's accusation against the young man that was just this afternoon.


"it is sad to see that young man has such a dirty aura in him. My guess is he adheres to black magic type of assignment. It felt clear from his gloomy and foul-smelling aura ", Nein said.


Arqan can't smell like Nein. But he could see the gloomy aura that enveloped the man.


Specifically ordinary humans have white aura or if the human is depressed the aura will turn into ash. While the man was black during the day, which indicates that there are foreign creatures hitchhiking in his body.


Arqan's eyes widened when he saw a human figure in white clothes walking among the trees beside his house. Immediately Arqan hid and followed the white figure which turned out to be 2 figures.


The crow's voice sounded. There are usually no crows in the village of Arqan.


Nein asked Arqan to remain vigilant and not follow the two white figures. There did not appear any strange aura from the bodies of the two people. They were just humans in creepy white clothes on the edge of the forest.


The more Arqan noticed them the more it became clear that they were holding each other.


"i'll follow him. They could be cult followers or something."
