The Fragrant Soul

Chapter 21: Ghost

Raka has lost her appetite. But to touch the food in front of him is very risky. The famous Four Thorny Flower is capable of anything. They are great in poison, silat, kanuragan science, also they have the science of relieving the body that cannot be underestimated.

He saw that the girls had grabbed the horses and left from there. Soon he came out. Not afraid of

they, he was just worried that they had changed their mind to leave, then came back to ask for marriage. Countless women who asked her to marry, funny thing is, the woman she married instead went missing.

“Corpse! The bodies! There's a corpse!” I heard a scream from one direction. The feeling of Fragrant Sukma is not good. Soon it is

hurrying towards the origin of the sound. There were some people there who were crowding the bodies.

The corpse of Ranggasoma, the Sword of Thunder.

His neck was slit by people. Of course by using a kujang. Because I was left stuck in his throat.

So fast the guy moves.

It was so hot that his hand was lowered.

It is barbaric that his crimes are carried out.

Soon Sukma Harum realized something. Four beautiful girls who were riding, he saw it had turned

entering the small forest. Sukma Harum quickly darted there!

Horse without rider.

The riders were scattered on the wet ground.

 Blood pooling.

Of course there are also kujang in stuck on their necks.

Sukma Harum sighed. In this kind of atmosphere he can turn out to be so calm. His heart beats very regularly. His body was silent trying to feel the surroundings.

The more dangerous the situation, the more he calmed down. The more she becomes graceful. The more it looks

handsome and full of dignity. He was born for things like this. To challenge the danger directly right at the center.

There's a trail on the wet ground!

Sukma Harum followed that trail. His body moved quickly as if it were disappearing. In this world, who has knowledge

lightening the body like this can only be counted with fingers.

One finger.

But there's no one there. The trail just disappeared.

Will he be able to enter through the earth and ascend through the heavens?

Sukma Harum knew the injuries of the ladies were still wet. Still new. If the perpetrator is pursued, of course it can still be

pecked. But that person can disappear!

Ghosts. It must be a ghost.

Sukma Harum examined the place carefully. A vast meadow, outside the forest. A meadow hidden behind a small hill.

How did the trail get lost here?

No grass is stepped on. No footprints on wet ground. There is only the scent of the body that is still left carried by the wind.

This scent was a distinctive scent of his own body.

Even the “ghantu” uses the same fragrance as himself!

Earlier when he left Ranggasoma and returned to the store, the “hantu” was certainly coming to Ranggasoma

disguised as himself. Then kill the poor swordsman easily because the swordsman never expected the ferocity.

Si “Hantu” then went stalking Four Thorny Flower. Waiting for the right moment when Sukma Harum had already come out of the tavern and examined the corpse of Ranggasoma.

That's when the “Hantu” moves. Approaching the 4 girls, and disguised as Harum Sukma. I don't know what

what he said, certainly made the four beautiful warriors off guard and did not expect an attack.

Leaving Kujang to every victim. Leaves a distinctive body fragrance.

Raka closed her eyes. He could already guess what would happen later. The people will

congregates. Then there is “saksi” who will say he saw Sukma Harum as the last person who was with the victim. Then there's kujang. Then there is a distinctive fragrance of himself that is attached to the bodies of the victims. Then everyone in the martial world will hate him even more. The competition for his arrest will be more and more in number. The gifts offered will be even more impressive.

What's he supposed to do? Go running from there. Sure is easy. But that will further prove “his involvement” in the murder.

Come face them all bravely? So how does he explain all this? If they did not want to listen to his persecution, would he have to kill them all?

All of these things were thought of in his mind in just a split second. In that split second anyway

he has to make a decision. One small mistake will lead to a very big disaster.

He decided to just leave from there.

He hated being a coward. Still, he hates the mistake of killing people just because he is afraid to be called a coward.

　

***

Raka took a detour. He knew that many people had gathered in the small forest. They have been

the bodies of the four girls. Of course there have been many allegations, and suspicions expressed. Of course it has also been inserted “saksi-saksi” fake and the people who follow to make “bisihan-bisi” that will further corner him.

The horse is still stuck there. Raka chose to hide behind the trees. With one small flick, a flat stone slashed through and broke the mooring. Raka called out the name of the horse, and soon an intelligent riding animal approached her.

He drove his horse carefully. Towards the village of Cipandana. The place where all this happened.

After making sure to get out of the gate, Raka just drove her horse as tight as possible. Not for how long

his horse ran, his year ahead there looks a figure standing right on the side of the road.

He wears office clothes. It appears to be an opas (royal police officer).

“Where do we go in a hurry?” ask the opas politely but fully inquiring.

“Abdi (me) was going to a village in the east,” Sukma Harum replied politely.

“Oh so. But of course we've heard that there's a murder in town just now?”

 “Iya already heard,” replied Sukma Harum.

“Once I heard there was a murder and saw the corpse whose blood and wounds were still so fresh, I came straight here. I think it's best that no one leaves town before the culprit is found.”

“Can the opas master let me go? The situation is very precarious...,” Sukma Harum asked very politely.

The officer looked at Sukma Harum carefully from the tip of the hair to the tip of the foot. Seen men

very very handsome one. His eyes were sharp but warm. Lips that seem to always sing a friendly but haughty smile . His white robe was fluttering and bright like a cloud during the day. The smell has been smelling since far away. His graceful style. His polite speech without underestimation. The mounts look very expensive and dashing.

Then he came to a conclusion.

“Is ki sanak nicknamed Sukma Harum?”

Either Raka should feel relieved or feel worried. Lately the name Sukma Harum has become a fugitive name. He can only nod.

“Last-lately the master became a fugitive of the martial world,” said the opas.

“Now I may be a royal hunt,” murmured with a sigh.

then the law applied is the law of the country and the law of the martial world.

“So master admitted that master is the perpetrator of this murder?” ask the officer again.

Sukma Harum shook his head. He said, “Someone wants to slander me. Right now I'm on my way to dismantle his crimes. I hope the opas master will believe my words.”

If nothing has happened lately, surely the opas will let Sukma Harum through. But times

this he can't do. “Before everything is proved, I cannot release the master. Sorry,” he joked.

Sukma Harum got off his horse. These two people each understood that the fight no longer could

avoidably.

“I tell you, if you attack a state officer, then the punishment will be very heavy.”

Sukma Harum laughed and said, “What if I don't attack sir?”

“Then you will not be able to pass,” the opas said calmly. In his hand was a weapon.

A mermaid with a golden dragon image.

“Ah. Apparently I was dealing with a very famous opas master, Hagung Koswara,” Sukma Harum

menjura raised his hand in salute. He had heard the actions of this opas who was famous for being very honest, can not be bribed, and brilliant in capturing criminals.

“I'm sorry. Sir Sukma Harum better come with me back to the city. There you can explain

everything,” pinta Hagung Koswara.

Raka understood, if he returned to that city, then the chaos would be much greater. The best thing is that he left

far-away. That way the lives of the innocent people in the city can be saved.

“It seems that I should force you, Mr. opas,” Raka said with a wry smile.

“Please!” Hagung Koswara had already drawn her rowing forward with both hands.

Fragrant Sukma floated high into the air, He passed through the opas from above. The officer was shocked to see the movement

Harum Sukma who knew already behind him. He knew the science of lightening his body was very far behind. But he did not expect that he was left behind even that far!

Immediately the oppas moved around his body and ramped his feet. The fur is pushed forward. Know-how the mermaid chain extends very far chasing the feet of Harum Sukma who has not yet touched the ground. The handsome young man did not expect that it turned out that the merfolk chains could be elongated.

If other people certainly panic because there is no footing to avoid the merfolk.

Of course Sukma Harum did not panic, because he was not someone else. He is Sukma Harum.

Hagung Koswara blasted his wobble very quickly and very precisely. The determination of time

it has an amazing snagat. So that the mermaids and feet of Harum Sukma will definitely meet at the point he had expected.

The speed, accuracy, and time calculation that the opas did was indeed very great. Unfortunately that

he faced was a Harum Sukma. The calculation of the time was missed because Sukma Harum landed not in accordance with the opas calculation time.

Because he knew his body that was sliding rapidly to land on that land, he changed

get very slow! It floats, floats like paper. The merfolk darted under his feet.

It can change the movement from the first one so fast to so slow!

No one could have imagined this would happen.

Then with the tip of his foot, he bottled the elongated chain so that the oppress held it

he felt his hands shake violently. He almost let go of the merfolk feeling his hand stung by thousands of wasps!

Fragrant Sukma restored the power of her wadding with only a small totolan of her legs. Even at the time

that handsome man was still in the air. It does not require a footing to require this movement.

All this sounds like something ordinary, but not many people in this world are willing to do it.

Hagung Koswara exerted his strength so that the coil did not come off. His own silat ability

it cannot be made a toy. His great inner power was then able to also change the force of the force coming from the Harum Sukma.

It changed that urge to bend the tip of the vortex!

Know the end of the mermaid that was bottled by Raka turned rapidly and now the end of the mermaid is eyeing his thigh!

In his heart Raka admired Hagung Koswara's cleanliness of heart. If it was someone else, it would certainly direct the attack

that's to his head.

Raka was still sliding down to land. Since the jump was passed through the head of the opas and glided

far away, he had not landed at all. This actually made him lose his footing to defend and attack. He was only intending to escape. He knew the opas had a mature calculation and a very measured attack.

If Sukma Harum wants to attack, of course he can be superior to this opas. But he knows, attacking

an opas is a violation of law. Therefore he chose only to twitch and dodge.

A reynged attack towards his thigh he avoided in the same way. Change the speed of his body. If it had been

slowing down his landing speed, he now even accelerated it. So that the calculation of time made by the opas becomes missed.

The end of the merfolk is already in the grasp of Harum Sukma.

With a single stomp, he pulled the ends of the merfolk, so that the opas who was holding the other end of the merfolk felt a very great attraction!

The movement of the pull even scattered his horses and pulled them towards the Fragrant Sukma who was dozens of spears in front of him.

The body of the oppress bounces into the air. He did not try to resist the pull, instead he stomped his feet

to increase the speed of the slide.

“Good!” puji Sukma Harum's.

While sliding forward the opas threw the end of the mermaid he was holding. The end of the mermaid was sliding profusely in a twisting direction. Apparently he wanted to wrap around Raka's body with his chains.

Raka who just landed immediately did a twisting motion also opposite to the winding direction of the chain.

This whirlwind-like twisting motion lasted not long, just enough for him to break away from the winding of the chain.

Hagung's body that slid swiftly forward did not have anything that could withstand the onslaught, while Sukma Harum was already moving around. With the twisting motion, Harum Sukma had managed to avoid the collision of both their bodies, even able to create new twists.

Unexpectedly, Hagung Koswara's body was already wrapped in its own round!

“Great!” heartfelt praise comes out of the mouth of this famously honest and courageous opas. Now he can no longer

warty. The twists of the chain could not be broken because it was made from the steel of his own teacher's grandfather's choice. After all, he himself did not dare to destroy the weapon given by his teacher's grandfather.

“Since I did not attack the opas master, even the opas master who wrapped around himself. Didn't you?” ask

Smelling Sukma with a friendly smile.

“Stool once.”

Harum Sukma approached the opas and opened the winding of the mermaid chain. He said, “Will the opas lord come with me? On the way I'll explain all these events. Maybe you will be able to help me solve all these hassles.”

If your life has just been forgiven by someone, then if someone asks you for something, then you must give it.

“Of course. Where are we going?”
