PLIERS RING

54. Det city

"But there were no people, and there was no TV or music from the houses here." Intan.

Intan further lowers the car glass. Trying to catch the voice of a living human. The roar of the wind that blew sounded faintly in the ears. Until long both Nanang and Intan heard nothing and just circled around the complex block by block.

Something faint suddenly smelled in their noses.

"It smells of carrion flowers.. " Kata Intan.

"Why are there carrion flowers growing in housing? It's impossible to grow here." Nanang.

The smell suddenly changed, "Brother, the smell changed, this is the smell of roasted chicken! Someone must have been grilling chicken not long ago. Finally we find the human activities of this deserted housing!" Intan said with passion.

After advancing his car forward, Nanang and Intan saw an old man sleeping on a chair in front on the porch of his house.

Nanang stopped his car, he and Intan got out of the car and greeted the grandfather who fell asleep in the chair on the front porch of his house.

"Alola Grandpa." Nanang.

The grandfather slowly opened his eyes and looked towards Nanang and Intan, judging with s.e.k.s.ama.

Long enough the grandfather looked at Nanang and Intan, his expression was flat and his eyes looked as if he saw nothing. It was hard to guess what this grandfather was thinking.

Nanang finally broke the deadlock, "Alola, Grandpa. Um, we want to ask exactly where this city is located, what is the name of this place grandpa?"

The grandfather remained silent for a few seconds before replying.

"Alola, this is Kampung Daying Ded Kota Det. Who are you two? You're not residents here." Said the Grandfather calmly, his voice hoarse and heavy, while his expression remained blank.

"We're from Tang City and somehow we suddenly got lost here. Does grandfather know how to go to Tang City from here?" Ask Nanang.

"Tang City well.it's very far from here, even if you drive by car, after a day of driving you won't reach the edge of Tang City." Answer the Grandpa.

Nanang and Intan : "...."

"You better stay here first. But it won't be free!"

"Alright, we will give you the cost of staying here. Is a million belly enough grandpa?" Ask Intan.

The grandfather nodded, "Ehm, enough."

Intan put his hand in his bag, then handed the money from his bag to the grandfather.

When Intan put his hand in his bag to take the money, the grandfather's eyes narrowed. A hostile aura suddenly shot out from his body. But quickly the grandfather pulled out his aura, hiding it.

Nanang and Intan sensed the danger coming from the grandfather, but only for a moment.

"Come, come in, follow me home. Just taro your car in the front yard."

"Good Grandpa." Nanang.

Nanang and Intan followed Grandpa into the house, Grandfather showed his room to the two.

"There's only one room left, the other room is occupied by my other family."

Intan Nanang simply nodded and the two of them entered the room together. Then the grandfather left them.

After the Grandfather came out and closed the door, the two discussed.

"Intan, something's wrong with Grandpa."

"True Brother Nanang, although faint and thin I can feel his hostility. We need to be careful!"

"I've never heard of this Det Town on a map in geography, in addition Kampung Daying is a homonym of Dying and Ded District is dead (already dead) and the City of Det is a homonym of the Word of Death. I suspect we're still in the Other World." Nanang.
