“Stay here, don't go anywhere. I've put up a shield so that the negative energy doesn't attack you anymore.”
After Krystal helps people get rid of negative energy in their bodies, she puts a protective barrier around them so that the energy does not penetrate back inside. Then Krystal immediately headed for the house where the energy came from, the air of the house getting colder as Krystal set foot in front of the door. The coldness slowly spread throughout the body, but Krystal could still endure it.
“You're cold?” Lucio embraces Krystal's shoulder.
“Lumayan, but I can still withstand the cold,” replied Krystal.
“Why is the atmosphere of this house so gripping? There are strange noises too,” Julian said.
“I think there is something hidden in this house.”
They entered together into the house, just set foot on the first floor, already felt the impression of horror that pierced me. Plenty of dust was scattered everywhere, plus the house seemed never to be cleaned or tidied up at all. Krystal shook her head in disbelief at the orphanage's condition, much to the dismay of imagining children living in such an unkempt place.
“Sister! Look here!” exclaimed Cleon who had apparently risen to the top level.
Soon they ran to the place Cleon was referring to, currently Cleon was in front of the room where the orphanage child used to sleep in.
“What were they tortured all this time?”
They all froze when they found the mattress lying on the floor full of blood. Then there was also like iron and wood that seemed to be used to hit the children, plus there was not a single blanket there even the mattress where they slept was very thin.
“Austin, have you never heard of those children being tortured during their stay here?” ask Krystal.
“No, Your Grace. The information about the orphanage is minimal, but many say that the children here live comfortably because the Emperor always sends food and clothes to them, as well as the amount of money coming in from donors is also not in a small amount,” said Austin.
Krystal immediately moved towards the wardrobe, she checked the children's clothes there. Krystal was stunned because there was not a single piece of clothing worth wearing, it was inconceivable how hard the children had survived there before. After that, Krystal also checked the remaining foods there, all of which were not worth eating because it was past the expiration time.
“Damn it! Who is the manager of this place? They treat children lower than animals,” umpat Krystal rose apoplexy.
Tap tap tap
The sound of the clattering of little ones' feet flashed around them, they spontaneously turned towards the sound, but there was no one there.
“Hahaha.” The sound of laughter of children accompanied by the pounding of running feet was clearly heard near them, but after checking there was nothing there.
“It looks like they are still here,” Krystal said.
“They? Your Mean—”
“The children did not disappear, their spirits are still in this house.”
At the same time, suddenly Krystal's hand was held by a little girl, when Krystal was about to turn to the little girl, Krystal's hand was pulled firmly by her and taken away at a very fast pace.
“YANG
“KAKAK!”
Panic struck the great remaining of them there, Krystal was taken away somewhere. They searched in Krystal's footsteps, but they lost it when they arrived downstairs, where they had set foot.
“Where is Your Majesty? Why did he suddenly disappear so quickly?” anxious Austin.
“Search throughout this house, lest anyone miss a single one,” Lucio said.
They split up to find Krystal's current whereabouts, each corner of their space tracing one by one. Meanwhile, Krystal is currently in the underground hidden room in the orphanage. The little girl led Krystal to where all the negative energy came from. How surprised Krystal when watching the skull of a small child scattered on the cold ground.
“What really happened here?”
Not only that, there are several large iron cages and inside there are many blood stains. Krystal smothered her heart because she couldn't help her shock.
“Cold, it's very cold here. Please ...”
The sound of some children crying coldly, and the little girl who carried him drew Krystal's hand to where it came from.
“Where will you take me?” krystal asked the girl, but she did not respond to Krystal's question.
Apparently there is one more room there, it is hidden behind the closet wall.
“So, my guess is right. You're not disappeared but murdered.” Krystal saw many of the spirits of the little children there, but the spirits of the children were like evil spirits.
“Kak, help them. Please my friends, they are not wrong. They also do not mean to hurt others, they are only angry because during life they are always tortured by orphanage administrators. Please my friend brother, I beg.”
The little girl started to open her voice, she asked for help with a heavy tone of voice holding back the cries. Krystal understood that negative energy that attacks people around the source of anger of the spirits.
Krystal crouched down and clasped the little girl's shoulders and asked, “I'll help them, can you explain to me what really happened to you?”
Not yet had the little girl to answer, suddenly from the opposite direction there was one spirit attacking Krystal. However, Krystal was able to hold the spirit that looked so angry, Krystal told the little girl's spirit to retreat backwards.
“Cold ... they let us cold, they let us starve and tortured us to death. They gave us expired food, we were not happy at all during life. All the humans who came here no one believed our words, but they witnessed us being beaten with iron rods. Why doesn't anyone care about us? Is it sinful that we were born as orphans? We—”
Krystal hugged the ghostly figure of a young boy who spoke out expressing her anger and pain during her life in the orphanage.
“I trust you guys, I know you guys were tortured, that's why I came here today. I'm sorry I was late to realize this, sorry I didn't save you guys sooner. I'm sorry I let you guys get cold and hungry, I'm sorry I couldn't get you guys to play. I'm sorry.”
“Why are you apologizing? But this is not your fault. Why are you apologizing so sincerely to us?” All this time they had never heard anyone apologize to them, but this time it was different, Krystal apologized to them sincerely.
“Because I feel the need to apologize, I don't want you guys to take too long nurturing anger in your hearts. Didn't you say it was cold? Comehere! I'll hug you, I'll give you warmth you never felt in your life.”
