Chapter 71. The Underground Room

Chapter 71 Pocong Baper

Anan asks Arya and Anta to head to another room accompanied by Queen Sanca. While he, Dita, and the King headed in the opposite direction. They split up to speed up time in finding Dira.

Anta opens door after door of a key she finds in a cabinet at the behest of Queen Sanca. It had been a long time since it seemed like someone was storing worn-out objects around the lock.

"Can, Nta?" ask Arya.

"Anta dizzy this is a lot of key. Try to open it!" anta's Word.

Anta felt the nausea that erupted at that time. A lot of dust that he breathed and had made it feel crowded.

"You just sit there, huh. Let me go around" said Arya.

"No ah, Anta still wants to be next to Arya" he said.

"Towards here!" take Queen Sanca to a staircase leading to the basement.

Suddenly, Anta saw a shadow of a passing woman. Curiosity that always disturbed his feelings managed to make him look and approach.

"Honey, where are you going?" ask Arya.

"Look at something, right there," said Anta.

"Don't be chased!" exclaim Queen Sanca.

However, it seems usual Anta was curious and did not listen to the snake queen.

Meanwhile, Adam and Tania dissolve in boredom. They are always visited by astral beings. Until finally some herds of tuyul come and want to scare. However, they were even invited to play hide and seek to drive away boredom.

The night was getting late, Adam's watch showed exactly twelve nights. In fact, Adam had heard stories about the creepy Villa Mahardika. According to one tuyul, there is a closer path through the gate that has been closed and the road that has not been listed in the google map.

"Where, Tan? I'm afraid they're why-why, you know," said Adam.

"So you want to drive? Instead I became afraid of you who why-why later," said Tania.

"But I was once taught to drive with King" said Adam.

"It's up to you!" tania Sudang.

"Okay, I tried."

The growing desire to catch up with his family did not even relax Adam's desire to go to Villa Mahardika. It felt like it had just happened yesterday afternoon, Adam never again stepped on the pedal of his father's car.

Although there are some of him who is somewhat afraid if scolded by the mother, but did not dampen his steps to recklessly drive a car. Adam didn't feel like he had much time left. There was an unpleasant feeling that he felt at that time.

"Sister, I want to come, okay?" ask one of the tuyul.

"Come on, come on, load it too! Get in the car if you need to" said Adam.

"Asiii! Horeee!" The tuyul continued to rush up the car that Adam was about to drive.

Together with Anan and Raja, Dita walks down a long dark passageway. After most of the doors she expected kept what she was looking for, Dita never found her daughter. she was really like someone lost in the house. They did not find the room where her daughter was held.

"Please burn this house down" asked Mr. Mahardika.

"Well, I'll burn it. But, I want to find my daughter first" said Dita.

"Seek into the basement. But, the place is covered with a magical fence," he said.

"Pantes from earlier did not nemu," said Anan.

"We're looking for Queen Sanca to open her magical fence" said the King.

"Mother agrees, let's go find him. Queen Sanca is again the same Anta," said Dita.

Dita also knows the history of how the alliance of the followers of Queen Masako was built. Meanwhile the King was stunned, feeling called by a familiar voice from somewhere.

The king turned around, he walked alone, step by step, through the open old doors. The shadow of the bald-headed boys stood looking at him.

"Oh, this is not a place where tuyul is bred," muttered the King.

The king did not even pay attention to the figures of the little children added as tuyul who showed his form. This time his heart felt firm, that who was calling him was leading him to a place he had been looking for with his family.

Until finally, the King saw a door with stairs leading down. The shape of this staircase resembles a spiral, it looks exactly the same as the old house residence he once went to.

"Mother, Yanda! I think this is the way to the basement!" the king shouted while looking at his parents but there was no one there.

The king was stunned for a moment, at the base of the stairs there is a large wall with old photos displayed on the wall. Most of the photos were filled by men with thick whiskers wearing blangkons with long tails. His face was the same as that of Lord Mahardika whom he had seen earlier.

The king then saw one by one the faces of the photos. Surprisingly most of the photos were torn right in the eye area as if to show a message to anyone who came to this place. Just like the sighting of Mr. Mahardika who has a transverse incision from a sharp weapon. One of his eyes was also missing.

"Ja, that's you, right?" Anta's voice echoed to her surprise.

"Astagfirullah, Brother Anta! So that's the brother who called me?" The king turned to his older brother who was still on top of the early steps.

"Sir Anta did not follow the woman here, did you see?" tanyakanya.

"I heard the voice of women calling me. Uh, I know I found this place. Though earlier if not wrong Mother said the basement there is a magical fence, loh," said the King.

"You can always open a magical fence without you knowing" said Anta.

Meanwhile, Arya observes every detail in the photo before she turns to a different looking photo. The photo is in the last row. Arya felt sure if she had ever seen the person inside. The man remembered the figure because it was still clearly depicted in his head, while remembering the glimpses of life while in Japan.

Arya said in a soft voice, "This is Hanako, Nta."

Suddenly Arya dropped the picture frame to cause an echoing sound. He's so upset. Shortly after, Arya was distracted by another series of photos on the wall. If true as he expected, then all these frames were members of the heretical sects of Hanako and the Mahardika Family.

"It's customary, brother!" said the king in Arya when slamming the figure.

"I think I brought it if I see Hanako," Arya said grumbling.

"We go to the corner there, who knows Dira is there," said Anta pointed to a room in the last corner.
