The Groaning From Behind the Grave
chapter 24: The danger before the eyes
Aryo ran after Laksmi to another room in the corner of the house, while the air was getting colder.it was as if this room was filled with ice blocks.
Arriving at the aryo in the room that I was headed earlier, he was slightly amazed when he saw something astonishing in the room.
Laksmi was seen waking up one by one small figures who were curled up on the floor. turns out this room was filled with small children who numbered quite a lot. maybe about eight or ten children.
Unbeknownst to him, the house hides some children. But who are they? and why are they here. about so that is triggered in the inner aryo.
" laksmi, who are they? " appoint aryo to each of the awakened children.
laksmi did not answer, but the woman remained focused on waking the children who were still asleep.
Aryo saw their faces still resisting drowsiness.May relax tired and confused suddenly awakened by laksmi.
" what's wrong with this laksmi? Why are we awakened? " said a fat boy on laksmi.His eyes looked at laksmi in wonder.
Among the children, the fat boy looks the biggest among them.
" sttts.already vishnu don't ask much. Now we go from this house, "a short answer laksmi to the child who turned out to be named Vishnu.
Vishnu frowned, increasingly astonished by the attitude of the person who had helped him.
" you know why mbak.not that this house is safe compared to other places, "this time a little girl in pigtails who stood next to Vishnu asked laksmi.
Laksmi turned to the little girl, then replied with a great trembling voice.
" this house is no longer safe dela. The occult fence has been successfully penetrated by the demit sent by the person, " said laksmi with a worried tone.
Unexpectedly the woman's speech could have a tremendous effect on the children.they were surprised and seemed to not believe hearing the explanation of the woman who was commonly called mbak laksmi.
" W-what's mbak? Just be right! How could it possibly happen, "reject the vishnu with a face of fear and resist horror.
Anxiety felt by Vishnu, seems to also spread to other children.Those who have been awake from sleep, do not stop feeling fear and the atmosphere becomes gripping.
" quickly hurry up and pack up. We don't have much time! That person managed to send one of the most evil demit figures..., "
" sengkuni, "whether by whom his lips were moved, aryo no wind and rain, suddenly by itself called that name.
All the children turned towards aryo.they stared with confused faces when they realized there was someone other than mbak laksmi in this room.
" who is he mbak? " ask the little girl a.k.a dela while pointing at aryo.
" his name is aryo, he is a friend of deket mbak first.now he is here because he also fared the same as mbak.he became the target of the sulastri sect, "answer laksmi on dela.
Dela nodded while trying to smile kindly, but not with vishnu. The fat boy instead looked at aryo with a probing look.
" wait om aryo..what is the son of kliwon as said by Mbah puloh? " ask vishnu to aryo.
Although a little hesitant, Aryo nodded in agreement.
Vishnu mangosteen even though the probing gaze is still firmly attached in his view.
" don't talk much! you know if all the demons make it into this house, what bad things will happen, " said Laksmi.
All the children nodded slowly.they knew the danger that was targeting their lives one by one. The same danger that befell their other friends, who are now lost without a trace.
BRAKKK!!! BRAKKK!!!
the slings on the door sounded louder.
" fast! We go through the back door, "send laksmi to rush herding the children to step up.
the children ran towards the back of the house, led by the vishnu in front.
Aryo and Laksmi followed from behind. They both ran with sweat equally dripping from behind the forehead.
" wait laksmi! What about juno? " aryo stopped his steps when he remembered the friend who was still lying in the room.
" just ignore him. It's free that we help him, his tribe has been successfully taken dukuh.he will not realize before his tribe was saved in the dimension of darkness, "laksmi explained slowly.
Aryo was shocked to death.
" then how? What are we supposed to do? " ask aryo growing restless.
" we must quickly find the heirloom mas. In addition to functioning to ward off evil forces, the heirloom is also actually the key to open the magical gate, "laksmi light back.
" with the opening of the occult gate, there is a possibility that we can free the tribes who have been kidnapped by the dukuh, including your friend's tribe, juno.
Aryo nodded.Him and Laksmi again ran through the funnel and the wooden dividers of this house.
Arriving at the back door, there the children gathered. Their faces were sweating with fear and panic. Vishnu first spoke to lakshmi when the woman had arrived.
" bak laksmi, where are we going after this. I don't think there's any safe place anymore. This hamlet has been controlled by the sulastri sects assisted by peteng demits. How is this mbak! " the fifteen-year-old shouted anxiously.
" we go and hide in the basement of om aryo's house. There is a safe place because the house was once the home of the incumbent Candidates from sulastri. The members of the sect as well as the gentlest will not dare to enter because of reluctance, " said Laksmi.
Aryo was surprised as he turned his head towards Laksmi. What did the candidate of the manten say that woman?
How much do these women know about the things they are dealing with? Aryo whispers in his heart.
" but mbak.how about solid. The figure of the kuntilanak will certainly not allow us, prospective prey to enter the residence of the queen.
Laksmi's voice again broke the increasingly gripping atmosphere.
" the solid business leave it to mbak also mas aryo.you stay hidden and no one comes out, " said Laksmi to the children.
BRAKKK!!!
The sound of a loud break was heard again, but this time with a strong intensity. slowly the cold mixed with foul smell poisoned this room. one by one the children began to lay weak. some of them vomit.
" dangerous, the last defense of this house has collapsed.Sengkuni and the demits must have entered this house, " said laksmi panicked.
Aryo also did not panic. The man was trying to help the children who were becoming such exhausted.
" the negative influence of the softeners made the children tired.Sengkuni from the beginning was a nightmare for the village children, "laksmi also helped the children to rise up. Not to forget his mouth is still incessantly attacking.
After all the children were successfully awakened, aryo quickly opened the back door of the house.a place directly opposite the cassava garden.a dark place without light.as well as the road that will take them out.
KRIET!!!
The sound of the door creaking sounded loud.aryo opened the door handle in a hurry.
" Let's all go out–" Aryo's words to the children were interrupted instantly, as her eyes saw something startling standing in the backyard.
Right in the backyard of the house, unfamiliar faces in all-red clothes, greeted them all.
A clumsy voice as well as laughter that broke the silence of the silent night came out from behind the cold looking faces towards aryo and the children behind him.
Aryo so even laksmi held her breath looking at those red-robed people.
" Meet.., "a plontos man with a sinister grin expression, hissing softly at them. His eyes glared happily like he had just found free prey. His red robe fluttered in the cold wind. Next to her hand was a long machete and the other was carrying...
Aryo was shocked to death. Slowly there was a flurry of nausea from his stomach as his eyes involuntarily saw what the mysterious man was carrying.
Some children were screaming hysterically. Vishnu closed both his eyes. And dela hid behind laksmi's back.
It turned out that the man was carrying a severed head.
" members of the sect, " whispered lirih laksmi.
