The Curse of Janggala Sukma Village

The Curse of the Manggala Sukma Village: Chapter 6

"This is all in the case file about the murder that happened to Bagas Mantari. Bagas Mantari was murdered in his hotel room, by one of his own men. And what I don't like the most is, Bagas Mantari is a member of a cult, which used to be very hostile towards people who sided with the first President."

".....This cult was created by the invaders of this country. Their goal is to master as many resources as they can. And this cult is centered in a village that is not on the map. The name of the village is Janggal Sukma. There was never a single survivor, when he had entered the village. Including those confidants I sent."

"They're all dead?" Ask Iwan.

"Most likely, yes. But it still can't be proven. I'm asking you guys for help. Gather as much evidence as possible from the Bagas Mantari murder case. I still doubt that Bagas Mantari has been killed by his own men." Reply Hermanto.

"Then what's our plan?" Ask Yati.

Iwan actually does not like the way Yati responds to a problem. Yati often makes her own decisions, without asking her for approval first. They both have to work together on everything they do. However, Yati already could not doubt his ability. He has a keen instinct, having already gotten used to things like this. Even the supernatural.

"You must leave the village of Janggala Sukma. And become part of that culture. Remember, once you two get there, all the stuff you have will be thrown away. Including the camera and also the stationery you often carry."

"Then how do we report all the articles that are there?" Ask Iwan.

"You just need to gather as much information as possible. The smallest amount of information will be very useful to all of us. Never let your guard down. Regarding the report, there will be people who pick you up in time. Remember that! This isn't for fooling around. Understood?"

I don't know how many people Hermanto sent to the village. Obviously, none of them made it out alive. In fact, not a few of them are actually loyal followers of the cult. Hermanto advised Iwan and Yati, so as not to fall into the cult that is in the village of Janggala Sukma. Once they are trapped, they will be trapped forever. Mr. Bandri initially doubted Iwan and Yati. Because there have been many police officers who disappeared in the village of Janggala Sukma, mysteriously.

When Hermanto and the other policemen headed for the village, they found no evidence. So it is difficult for Hermanto to investigate mysterious cases committed by the residents of Janggala Sukma Village. The name of the leader of the Sukma Janggala Village is Mbah Bengkut. Mbah Bengkut is a 75-year-old woman. He was also suspected of being the leader of the perverted culture. But there is no definitive proof as to who Mbah Bengkut really is. Hermanto said based on his suspicions, because Mbah Bengkut really likes mystical things.

Once, when Hermanto Tanjung police was there, Mbah Bengkut also gave an amulet in the form of a necklace, which is said to be able to protect Hermanto, anywhere and anytime. Hermanto really doesn't believe in that much. But the necklace she wore around her neck, had brushed aside all the doubts that were within her. Hermanto then gave the necklace to Yati. As a sign, if Yati and Iwan are not dangerous people for the residents of Janggala Sukma Village. The necklace was also a sign, losing Yati and Iwan really wanted to join the cult that was there.

In fact, Hermanto is arguably also one of the members of the cult. But, Hermanto can get out of there because he's a cop. All residents of Janggala Sukma Village can understand how his position as a person is considered important. Yati and Iwan are journalists. Which for the residents of Janggala Sukma Village, the profession is not too familiar. A journalist's profession would be considered a joke. There would be no one who would give more views to Yati and Iwan. They will be considered ordinary people. It will be hard for them to get out of there.

"You're leaving today too. My men will take you there. Again, do not do anything stupid that makes the people of Janggala Sukma Village suspicious of you. Be friendly to everyone who is there. Mbah Bengkut will call you with pleasure. Because you two are smart people. Mbah Bengkut likes people like you. Hopefully, I can pick you up in time." Hermanto.

With the situation still very exhausted, Iwan and Yati must immediately prepare themselves. They were required to wear all black clothes, to convince Mbah Bengkut, if they were both sent by Hermanto to the place. Mbah Bengkut is very close to Hermanto. But unfortunately, Hermanto never got any information in Janggala Sukma Village. Mbah Bengkut impressed cover up every thing in Janggala Sukma Village. It was as if he had indeed wanted Hermanto to leave the village. Of course it was very troublesome for Hermanto. Because he would never get the information he needed all this time.

As a person who entered into the cult, Hermanto is very rarely invited to conduct gatherings in Sukma Janggala Village. Of course, only Mbah Bengkut can give his trust to Hermanto. As for the citizens who were there, they did not believe in Hermanto at all. Hermanto said, Sanggala Sukma Village has a strange traditional ritual. Which, everyone must drink the blood of goats, raw. By biting the goat's neck directly. In a situation, the goat is still alive.

If Hermanto refused, Hermanto would face severe punishment. Hermanto still does not know what kind of punishment he will get, if until he rejects it. That's why he needs others, who are expected to gain more trust from Mbah Bengkut. In order for Hermanto to know for sure, what really happened in Janggala Sukma Village. Then Hermanto can dismantle all cases that occur to residents of Janggala Sukma Village. During this time, Hermanto only relied on word of mouth information, without any clear evidence. Although impressed that Iwan and Yati were sacrificed, but it still has to be done. Because if this is constantly left unchecked, more and more victims will fall.
