The Devil's Circle of Deception
Blood flesh Tumbals

“I like to live again, the shadow of the appearance of a terrible creature is still visible when I open and close my eyes” said Karjo.

He leaned against the side of a bench made of bamboo. The society of citizens discussed their unrest in facing Transo and his black magic that royals lela. Yesterday they heard from one of the villagers who had just returned to shopping from the city about the shaman who killed several people there.

“I heard it myself, the name of the mad shaman Transo killed the doctors of Wijaya who often stop to this village” said Mamang while whispering.

“Are you sure? As I remember a few days ago one of the women who was bathing in the river had screamed running without a thread was chasing Transo like crazy. The woman was his wife Partim, as if she had been hit by the madman's pellet” said Ujang explained in a style of wiping his beard.

...----------------...

The house was very quiet, after the bloody tragedy in the house there was only a worker who cleaned the yard and guarded the security guard post. He did not dare to spend the night and entered the house that now looks haunted by death due to the work of the mad shaman. The sound of a motorcycle stopping and small footsteps ustadz Hendra now stands in front of the gate of Wijaya house. He deliberately did not tell the news of his arrival to his sidekick. However, who would have thought the figure of a gentle-hearted man and once very devout in worship was now an apostate and a heretic?

Hendra felt a strong evil supernatural air envelop the house. The premonition within the inner eyes caught the shadow of a black-furred demonic demon figure staring at him from above the tile. Instantly he disappeared when Ustadz Hendra finished reciting Surah An-nas. The wind blew fiercely, the changing nature in between the lightning without letting out rain.

That night, Hendra felt a huge black magic air in the air. The scent of human blood pierced the hydunga cavity. After knowing that no one was home, Ustadz Hendra returned home while releasing dhikr with a small gust to the front area of the house.

“Arggh! aghh! ” the scream sound of a supernatural creature.

“Go back to where you came from and don't disturb this family!” murmured ustadz Hendra went by.

In the corner of the kitchen, Kasim was busy treating his wounds. She was surprised to see Ijah's arrival with a look of confusion at her husband. He crouched down and put down the luxurious sling bag and took over the cotton and antiseptic liquid from his hands. Ijah shook his head while raising all sorts of questions.

“Before mom wants to tell you about the results of health check-ups are getting better sir. But I do not think why the father can be battered like this? you didn't end up fighting, did you?” ask Ijah.

“No ma'am, I just slipped at work” said Kasim looking for an excuse.

He thrust a bar of gold into Ijah's hand, but the woman's eyes seemed to light up and her hand quickly accepted it. Ijah stopped the movement of treating Kasim's wounds, he was already impatient to exchange the thing for a pile of money. Until also forgot his four children, especially Dana who was very sick.

“Bapak, let's city to city. Let the children in the care of the caregivers only, the mother has brought a special worker to look after our four children at home” said Ijah smiling cheerfully.

Abundant money and possessions have turned a second heart to the thought of their child. Eunuchs are like babu and pets for Transo but live suddenly rich and viewed by residents as the richest people in his village. Each vehicle passed through the border area of the village, many residents waiting for him with their hands up. From inside the car Kasim scattered the money for nothing with a proud and haughty attitude looking at them with a smile and laughter.

He is not aware now of the fate of one of his children Dana. When she finished returning from the city with all sorts of jewelry and money in some suitcases, a yellow flag was placed in front of the entrance.

“Don't know ma'am, usually if there is a flag there must be a dead and many mourners who come. Maybe this flag is just a prankster who installed it on the front tree branch of our house” Kasim said.

Their legs were limp helpless, in his house were crowded neighbors who were present were sitting around Danu who had been asleep forever. A meaningless cry, they initially thought that the illness Dana was suffering had gradually improved and had entrusted the caregivers to their children. In front of all the mourners, Ijah who had been filled with satanic air slapped the nanny who was carrying early. Three very hard slaps to the point of drawing blood from his nose.

“Huaaaahh. Hiks” cries Early frightened to see his mother.

Similarly, Dina and Danu hide behind the body of the nanny is reluctant to accept Ijah's hand when going to ask them in his direction.

“Come here with Mami son. She is a useless babysitter, Quickly do not approach her or mom will punish you” said Ijah in a slightly loud tone.

The babysitter was expelled without feeling humane and humiliated in public. Ijah threw the bag and took out the contents in front of the door. Those who saw his actions could only shake their heads. The other mourners who had just watched also turned around did not so visit the funeral home.

“Has Kasim's wife gone mad? His son has just died but his attitude is like a possessed person” whispered one of the residents.

“Yak you're absolutely right. Not only you and I are aware of it, especially on his wealth which suddenly must have its own story about the pesugihan” jawan Ujang.

“Let's just go back to the siskamling post to continue the conversation” invite Mamang.

As their journey to the post passed through the banana trees, the figure of Transo ran with a scream while holding his head. They immediately ran to the edge until one of the sandals tripped on a stone.

“Woy wait! The endang! Eno!” yelled Mamang trying to get up and run.

...----------------...

“You are like public transportation that does not sit at home even if only briefly” said Karjo.

“Begin sir, let me tell you everything__”

After hearing Ujang's story, Karjo decided to gather the citizens to look for Transo and immediately eliminate it. He hit a very hard kangungan, Karjo along with other residents brought torches down the gorge.

While Transo was still busy removing the bullet stuck in his head. He pierced the skin through the skull bone with his own keris. Stabbing deeper and then gouging the bullet that stuck hard. Transo grimaced in pain, though no blood should have flooded his face. After successfully removing the bullets, he heard the sound of the citizens getting closer to the bottom of the abyss.
