Rania's Invisible Search
PART 147 SACRIFICE?
I went back to see Beny and Silvia, both of whom were still standing not far from the main door. As soon as I saw him coming, the two of them immediately ran towards me. And asked if I had made it inside the police station. I nodded my head without saying anything.
"How come you're on Ran anyway? Definitely the same dong we are what you see in there!" Persuade Silvia by tugging at my hand.
"There's a lot of bodies inside, but I haven't seen anyone's body that I want to see."
Beny immediately interrupted the conversation, asking if the body of someone wearing a silver necklace I was looking for.
"Lu know where Ben is? Don't-don't you be their member too huh?" Ask me by rounding both eyes.
"Eh, you're not so beautiful! I'll see your footage last night. I also edited the video. You can accuse me of being part of that sect!" Beny replied with a look of annoyance.
"Haha. Maybe your face is filled with Ben's gloomy aura, so Rania says that." Sahut Silvia.
"Shhh. Don't fuss, I'm from nyeplos. You are still in working time right, there please wait your turn to cover. I want to sit under that shady tree."
Silvia grumbled to see me in annoyance. "His arrogance, the mentang-matang can be free of duty. If Mr. Boss gave me privilege like you, I would be relaxing in my room right now."
Beny immediately pulled Silvia's hand to invite her to join other journalists. While I take a sitting position under the tree. I sent a short message to Mbak Ayu, telling him about what happened at the police station. Before long Ma'am Ayu immediately called me, he sounded very surprised and did not believe what I said.
"Lu's sure Ran, all of them died together?" Pungkas Mbak Ayu across the phone there.
"Gue is not sure, Ma'am, this is still confusing news. Mas Adit can't give me an explanation. But from what I saw earlier, there were a lot of sect members who were killed."
"So they chose to end their lives with a sacrificial alibi?"
"It seems so anyway Ma'am. But I still haven't seen Nek Colored. Either he's dead or he's not!"
Out of curiosity Mbak Ayu wants to catch up with me, but I forbid it and ask her to stay with Om Dewa. Because he is still under the supervision of the spy Aunty Ajeng.
"If we let our guard down a little bit, the sect members will take Om Dewa away again Ma'am!"
"But Ran, I want to know what's really going on there!" Sahut Mbak Ayu across the phone there.
How do I explain to Mbak Ayu, if conditions are not possible. I don't even know anything about what really happened.
"Let me hang up the phone first, there's a police commander who will give an explanation to the journalist!" I said as I ended the phone call.
I mingled with the media, they were covering a police officer who was giving information about what happened at the police station. According to him, the investigation is still being conducted, and it is not yet clear what caused the mass death of the members of the cult.
It turns out that everything is still unclear. I decided to wait for Mas Adit to come. And it was seen that some officers helped bring the bodies into the ambulance, because all the bodies had to be autopsied at the police hospital.
"Raniaa!" Shouted Mas Adit while waving his hand to me.
He asked me to come to him, Mas Adit stood in front of the building in front of which a lot of used cars collided. I approached her there, but I instead saw various invisible ghost sightings. Looking from the shape, they must be the victims of accidents. Aah I'd rather pretend I didn't see them, than they'd ask me for help.
"Why Ran? There's a demit, right?"
"Well, if you know what to tell me to come here?"
"Only in this place can we talk freely. If it's somewhere else, there's gonna be a journalist who's gonna ask me for information."
"OKAY. Now explain to me, what exactly happened to all the members of that heretical sect?"
Mas Adit said, if at first everything was okay. Everyone in custody just sat down without talking to each other.
"But all of a sudden everyone has a seizure at the same time, and his mouth spits out foam. It just so happened that there was a media crew who wanted to cover. And he was terrified to see all the prisoners convulsing. The condition did not last long, because a few minutes later they were exposed to a stiff body. There are people who die in a sitting position, and some are glaring at his eyes with spit out. Anyway fuck around. And at that moment we realized that they were trying to end their lives by drinking something. You know that Grandma who wears a silver necklace? At that time, he was saying kamit read a mantra. And it seemed like he was also about to end his life, we found some medicinal grains in his hand. When some officers tried to stop the action. The grandmother had taken some medicine, and the officer stopped her from taking any medicine left in her hand. Only Grandma was the one we saved. He is currently being treated in a hospital ICU, critically ill because his breathing is weak. I don't know what drugs they're taking, the officers are still investigating." Mas Adit's explanation left me dumbfounded.
I'm still analyzing what really happened. Didn't they believe that their souls would live eternally as jenglots. Or maybe it is a form of sacrifice to occupy another soul.
"Kok diem the hell Ran?" Mas Adit looked at me while wiping the sweat on my forehead.
"Hmm I'm fine. Can I see the condition of Nek Sejah?"
"It could be, but the doctor has not allowed anyone to see the patient. Who are still curious, why they choose to end their lives. Though it could be, they were just witnesses of the case of the perverted ritual." Mas Adit said by massaging the base of his nose.
"Because their goal was to end his life. They believe that by making such a sacrifice, their souls will be immortal elsewhere."
"I mean Ran?"
"Jenglot doll! They will occupy a new place. And they will be the pets of the shamans of black magic, and get food from the blood offerings that the shamans give." I said by hooking both eyebrows.
"You know where that kind of thing Ran comes from?"
"The Seized Grandmother admitted it herself."
I took a deep breath while shaking my head. It turns out that the black magic they use during their lives, will continue even though their body is lifeless. In the form of such a small puppet, the members of that heretical sect could still practice their heresy.
