Wanara Project

Chaptre 40. Julia and the Five Pandavas.

“First Pandawa, Yasa Dameswara is ready to face.”

“Second Bandawa, Barata Sujiwa ready to face.”

“Third Pandawa, Arya Jayagiri is ready to face.”

“Fourth Pandawa, Nara Winayasa ready to face.”

“Fifth Pandawa, Sarwa Palaka ready to face.”

The Pandavas kneeled respectfully before Julia.

“Thank you for your welcome. Stand up, there are a few things we need to talk about.” Julia.

Julia walked towards the discussion area in the room followed by the Pandavas behind her. It turned out that six seats in the place were reserved for Julia and Lima Pandawa.

“Sarwa, continue your explanation earlier that was delayed.” Julia told Sarwa. It turns out that the janitor who helped Julia find the information was one of the Five Pandavas. Now he looks neat in black formal clothes.

“The 30th person who should have received our invitation is a subsidiary of the Director of Bintang Jaya Company. But due to psychiatric issues, he was unable to follow this project.”

“The person began to show signs of psychiatric disorders about one week before the deadline for the acceptance of project.” members

“According to the description data we took from the Mental Hospital where the person was treated, the disorder experienced was hallucinations and delusions. Often this person screams in his sleep. It seemed like he was also having such a terrible nightmare that he had not slept for a few days and had accidentally fallen asleep from being too tired. As he fell asleep, the screams returned he let out.”

“Physiologically, this person looks easily anxious. His paranoid level is very high. Never once has he been seen talking to another psychiatric patient. In general, every patient will try to find friends to tell stories, although the topic of conversation is very abstract. But this guy prefers to lock himself up.” Sarwa concluded his explanation.

“Please tell us more about the hallucinations and delusions he experienced.” Julia Pinta.

“This part is indeed the most interesting, miss.”

“This man heard the cries of those who were being tortured in hell. Not just one or two people, but he heard the voices of millions of people screaming in pain. He also told me about the Demon King. He said that one of the Demon King's emissaries approached and asked him to throw away the invitation to participate in the project. Surprisingly, the Demon King's envoy also ordered him to dispose of the invitation in the predetermined place and time.”

“The beginning of this person did not care and assumed that the hallucination appeared because of his condition is very tired. Moreover, he was really looking forward to the invitation to participate this project. But the more he ignored it, the more intense the disturbance he received. Now not only the sound of screams and the voice of the messenger of the demon king that he heard, but the appearance of some terrible creatures also suddenly appeared to disturb him.”

“The disturbance he received was getting more intense, not only while he was awake, but also in his dreams. Horrifying creatures come in their dreams in turn every night. Along with those disturbances, the voice of the Demon King's envoy was also always heard. ‘You will continue to be tormented if you do not comply. We will disturb you even to the crust of hell though’.  Such is the sentence conveyed by the messenger of the Demon King.”

“This guy is still trying to survive. He sought the help of some religious leaders. He has met religious leaders of all religions he knows, but the disturbance he experienced has not disappeared.”

“Just the night Rama found an invitation to join the project, the man was found washed up in the city river. Fortunately, someone saw him and immediately helped him. Thank goodness this man's life can still be saved. When he woke up, this person immediately trembled in fear and curled up in a corner of the room. He keeps raving the same words.”

“What did he say?” Ask Nara curiously.

“ ’I obey Ifrit and The Demon King.’ That's what he said.”

Julia and the other Pandavas looked very surprised by the sentence.

“Badness…. How dare that lowly creature interfere in our affairs.” Shouted Yasa with a red face in annoyance.

“Relax Yasa.” Julia.

“I'm sorry, Miss. I really hate hearing the name of the creature.” Answer Yasa.

“Do you have any information about Rama?” Julia asked Sarwa.

“Let me explain the information you asked, Miss. Sarwa asked for my help to find the information.” Nara.

“Thank you. Try telling...” Julia Pinta.

“Alright Miss...” Nara Sahut.

“Rama Ghuntara is an orphan raised in the Morning Star Orphanage. One morning, orphanage officials found him asleep in a small bed right in front of the door of the orphanage. Inside the bed was a piece of paper bearing his current name.”

“In the orphanage Rama did not have any friends because the children there were afraid of Rama. It began when Rama and one of the children were fighting over a toy, and accidentally Rama pushed the child. The energy that Rama has is not like a child his age. The encouragement made by Rama made the child was bounced and hit the wall quite hard. The child was seriously injured and had to be rushed to the hospital. Fortunately, the boy's life was still being helped. From then on, the other children looked at Rama with a sharp gaze filled with fear mixed with anger. Not a single child is willing to be his friend.”

“Although ostracized, little Rama does not necessarily become a moody and quiet child. He was cheerful and always excited. Even he had excellent achievement scores compared to the other children. Because of his character and cognitive abilities, one of the famous company owners who did not have any children wanted to adopt Rama. From then on he became the son and sole heir of the man.”

“What company?” Ask Julia.

“Owner of the company that is our main partner and becomes the sole investor of the project that we are currently running, miss.” Answer Nara.

“Kertarajasa Group?” Ask Julia.

“That's right, miss. Rama is the adopted son of Kertarajasa.” Answer Nara.

“Continue your story.” Pinta Julia is very serious.

“A few years ago, Kertarajasa Group experienced internal conflicts and made the leadership map change. Kertarajasa is no longer the owner of the company. Since then the life of the Kertarajasa family was destroyed. Not long after Kertarajasa himself died of a heart attack.”

“Is there any other story related to Rama's ability?” Ask Julia.

“No, miss. Rama lived a life like people in general.” Answer Nara.

“Thank you for the information.” Julia.

“The reason I searched for information earlier was because of the strange power in Rama's body. It has to do with the CORE energy it has.”

“Do you guys know something about the enormous energy and can absorb the power of Black Onyx Stone?” Ask Julia.

“Black Onyx Stone is a precious stone that we can only get from the world there. There can't be a human being who can absorb the energy of Black Onyx Stone, miss.” Answer Arya.

“That once, ordinary humans would not be able to absorb the energy power of the Black Onyx Stone. But what if that person is not an ordinary human being?” Spark that makes all Pandavas jerk.

“If not human, then what? We can only use the power of the stone to improve the ability of CORE that we have.” Arya answered Bara's question.

Bara did not respond to Arya's question. He just stared intently at Arya's eyes. A look that implies something. Bara's gaze made Arya aware of something that was very difficult to believe.

“Cannot.” Arya lirih.

It seems that the entire Pandavas also know the intent of the talks conducted by Bara and Arya. The Pandavas lowered their heads and looked very anxious.

“What kind of situation is this? I don't understand at all?” Ask Julia.

“We may know what is going on, miss. But we can't tell you now. We need to conduct further investigations to confirm this. We hope you understand, miss.” Yasa said very politely.

“Well if so. I trust this to you.” Julia said with a little disappointment.

“Meeting we end. I have to get back to Mandalawangi Peak immediately. If there is any recent information or something urgent, please do not hesitate to contact me. Thank you for your help today. I go first.” Julia said as she stood, lowered her head and left the Pandavas' room.

“Goodbye, miss.” Say the Pandavas while paying their respects.

The moment Julia walked out the door, the secretary had been waiting for her anxiously.

“How long was Julia? What the hell's going on? Are you okay?” Ask the secretary anxiously.

“Quiet, miss. Thank goodness I'm fine.” Julia answered with a smile.

“Thank God, next time you have to be more careful Julia. I can't imagine how the Pandavas scolded you earlier.”

“Thank you for worrying about me. I go first yes.” Answer Julia.

After that Julia returned to Mandalawangi Peak. Darma is thrilled to see Julia return safely. Realize earlier Darma was very worried about Julia's situation. Julia has her consider her own sister.

“How are you doing?” Ask Darma.

“I'm fine. Thank you.” Answer Julia.

“Do you get something?”

“I found interesting information, but the Pandavas need to do further investigation. So we just have to wait.” Julia.

“You really met the Pandavas? Seeing them alone has made my hair goosebumps, I did not expect that you really dare to meet them.” Darma.

“Of course, our levels are different.” Julia said with a little joke.

“No manners!” Darma's grouse was followed by Julia's little laugh.

“How is the afternoon workout?” Ask Julia.

“Do you doubt me?”

“No. You're the best person I've ever met.” Answer Julia.

“Of course.” Said Darma proudly.

“Prepare yourself for training tonight.” Connect Darma.

“Good. Thank you Darma.” Julia.

Julia leaves Darma to get ready to continue her CORE control training at night.

Darma knows that something has happened in the office of Pandawa Group. Julia's expression on her face revealed a great deal of confusion. Rarely did Darma see Julia like this. It seems that the problems related to Rama are more complicated than imagined.
