The Devil's Circle of Deception
Gnawing faith

Although Ali's state of ustadz has not gradually improved, his body has never left the prayer. His skin was always wet with ablution water. To this day his longing to chant the sound of the Adhan made him walk to Surau despite the limped steps.

He was surprised to see the situation inside Surau that seemed empty and unkempt. Only the front was washed away. A man puts down a broom handle when he sees his presence. A big smile, greeting the hand department.

“Assalamualaikum ustadz, how is the state of ustadz now?” ask the man.

“”Walaikumsalam, I am still in recovery time. Sir, now it is almost time to pray zuhur but surau still looks lonely” said ustadz Ali.

“Actually the residents are frightened by the black magic of Transo. What's more after ustadz got sick, they got more scared and did not dare to leave the house when it started in the afternoon.”

“Astagfirullah al’adzim.”

The chanting of Adzan voices echoed in the village which is now a frightening specter with magic and pain. The sound is like breaking the ears of the demons near Surau who often haunt the residents when performing worship. The branches and branches of the tree fell without any wind.

One by one the citizens flocked to enter Surau.

After performing the prayer, they gathered to talk about the public's unrest in Transo's black magic and all its appearance. Ustadz Ali suggested that they would tonight perform the hajat prayer, reciting the Quran and long recitation in the hope that they would have protection and salvation from Allah the Most One.

Behind the curtain of darkness, as usual, the devil shaman plays the role of disturbing the people who will get closer to the Khalik. He cast a spell on the burning incense then blew the magic in the air. Disturbances from astral beings, tree trunks stick to the roof of Surau until the ruins almost hit the person inside. Those who were shocked and frightened immediately ran out to go home without wearing footwear.

“Awas no black magic Transo!” people shouted in fear.

Ustadz Ali tried to appease the other worshippers. They cleared away the wreckage and the destroyed roof. Despite being attacked by supernatural disturbances, Ustadz Ali suggested that they continue to worship in order to fight the attacks of science.

“Bigger! Why do they still dare to fight me!” pekik Transo's.

He again attacked the dagger to the ground, as the wind blew fiercely hit Surau with the sound of crows flying above him. In Surau, ustadz Ali never stop chanting the holy verse of the Quran with other worshipers.

“Allahuakbar!” said the ustadz.

Instantly Transo science crashed down the defense of his body. He let out blood vomit, his followers helped him to his feet but Transo's thunderous rage made him beat them to pieces.

“Go! Don't bother me meditating!” pekik Transo's.

The nightmare of Lisa.

A tired night for exhausted souls, the world of hell never felt as thin as a smile at the corner of his lips. In the subconscious, Lisa stands among the crowd of people passing by. It was as if no one had seen him even his body could be penetrated by one of the pedestrians.

“What's with me?” his murmur moved the body touching one of the women who stopped nearby.

“Mother, carry me!” the sound of a monstrous baby figure crawling pulled his clothes.

His legs were forced to pull until he could not move, from the back came the sound of Transo's laughter and touched his shoulders. Lisa stomped, kicked the terrible baby and ran down a dark path. He was so frightened that he stumbled and slipped into the abyss.

“Argghh! Please!”

The atmosphere inside the abyss was no stranger to him. A cursed place that always haunts his life. The gorge where the tree is gigantic, the roots look as if they seem alive moving around its body. Lisa was brought right in front of the tree, there was Transo who had been waiting for her with the baby figure that was bothering her earlier.

“Lisa, he is your son! ahahah!” transo.

“No! He's not my son!” lisa rebelled trying to break away.

Slowly the figure of the baby stood smirking looking at him. The fishy aroma stung, the mucus endlessly dripped, he pierced Lisa's eyeball with his sharp fingertips. With a loud laugh. Lisa in pain groaned between her body which was still tied to the roots getting stronger as if it had broken her bones.

“Arrghh! Arghh!”

...🔥🔥🔥...

“Money's awake! Lady Lisa!” sen said.

Lisa woke up from her dream, she was in pain very hard to move. Sen ran to the doctor to check on her condition. Lisa looks much calmer, the woman asks Sen not to wake Wijaya or tell her about her condition. Wijaya's accomplices nodded in agreement and asked for permission to leave.

In the room he daydreams of a dream that feels real to him. In the mind of thinking it turns out the figure of the baby he gave birth to is a baby demon who wants to kill him. Lisa is now worried about Jaka's fate. Lisa's temperature terrace was hot as if there were living roots inside. The root movement protruded on the second part of his hand arm.

“What's with me?” murmured Lisa rubbed her arms with a quick movement.

He forcibly removed the infusion then slowly walked while holding his stomach which still felt very painful. In the bathroom, he reflected on seeing the roots of the living tree spread all over his hands. Lisa rubbed, scratched and even slashed the skin of her own hand trying to pull out the root.

A nurse who knew about it ran for help to the other medics. Lisa was brought in an ER room in the damping by doctors Pram and Sen. The news about Lisa has not been heard by Wijaya, he seemed to disappear after the last time chatting with Sen in his office. Lisa's handling for two hours successfully passed the critical period. Doctor Pram scrunched his forehead asking for information about Lisa with a cynical look.

“Mr Sen, what is Miss Lisa's relationship with doctor Wijaya? Why did I see him treat her specifically?” ask Dr. Pram.

“Sorry doc, but I can't tell anyone else about the personal affairs of doctor Wijaya. Please the doctor ask him directly on his” Sen said.

“Yes well then, I hope that all the things that befall mistress Lisa can be finished soon. To be honest I saw chaos after his presence here.”

“What does the doctor mean?” ask Sen.

“I know everything. Ironically again I get information on the death of the sisters due to the black magic they brought. Mr. Sen, if this continues then the possibility of this hospital will be closed” said Pram and then went by.

Sen observed the highly suspicious attitude of Doctor Pram. She remembered sister Cindi as her confidant. Sen called Toni so that he and the two executioners were on guard of the house, especially Jaka and Sister Sese.
