174 Fourth Day - Mbah Jambrong (1/2)
Randy perplexed by what the old man doing. Also, Randy could hear the old man was murmuring unclear words which he could not understand.
The old man's eyes closed and his hand moved around the top big bowl. The more he looked at the old man's action the weirder it became.
Looking at the old man's face which was full of wrinkle, Randy estimated the old man was in his mid fifty. Not only the old man's action made him weird, what the old man wore also weird. The old man didn't wear clothes but beast hide.
Two beast hides crossed an old man's body from his shoulders. The beast hide didn't cover the entire body as Randy could see the old man's stomach and both side of the old man's body.
The old man was so thin. From the side his body and stomach, only skin and bone could be seen from his body. As for the lower body, the old man also used beast hide. He used the beast hide like a skirt.
Looking at this old man, Randy felt sympathy for this old man also wondered how this old man could survive in the wilderness.
'Nah, I will ask that later. For now, I will give a lunchbox for this old man,'
Just as Randy wanted to take out a lunchbox from his Storage System, the old man opened his eyes. The old man's eyes were lackluster, devoid, lack of emotion.
The old man looked at Randy, his lips moved, and spoke with his raspy voice, ”Are you hunting Kuntilanak and Pocong in Bandung Territory?”
”Yes, I hunt them down. Is there something wrong? Also, who are you?” Randy puzzled why the old man asked him that, but he still answered truthfully.
”I CURSED YOU!!!” Suddenly the old man let out an angry roar which shocked Randy.
He immediately backed for a few steps. Lately, the spirits were freaking him out, now an old man also tried to scare him too. But compared to the scare by Kuntilanak and Pocong, the roar of the old man only shocked him.
”Hey! What's wrong with you?” Randy began suspecting this old man was crazy because of the Battle of Ascension. But it was less likely as this old man could even survive in Bandung Territory.
But the old man ignored him and mumbled with unclear words, his hands also began moving in a certain pattern on top of the big bowl.
”Shana, what this old man is doing?” Randy could not get any clue what this old man wanted to do, so he asked Shana.
”Who knows! I don't know too. Maybe this old man is crazy?” Shana was in Randy's shoulder since he found the old man. She looked at the old man with a great interest.
The old man ignored Randy and kept chanting, ”... HORAAAA!!”
Finally, the old man finished his chant. In the last chant, he raised his two hands. After that, the old man stood up. He walked five steps forward before halting his steps. His sight was never left from Randy.
”Foolish young'un, how dare you to kill my pet!” The old man roared toward Randy.
Randy stunned by the sudden outburst of the old man. Now, he had the same thought as Shana, 'This old man is crazy,'
”Ahem old man, you might be wrong,” Randy tried to reason with the old man. Also, he only killed spi...
A sudden thought came into Randy's mind as he looked at the old man with a shocked face.
”I'm not an old man, call me Mbah Jambrong, foolish young'un!” The old man kept shouting at Randy, ”You are right, my pet is Kuntilanak and Pocong. You killed them and you won't admit it? You think you can lie in front of me, Mbah Jambrong?”
Randy: ”...”
”Foolish young'un. RECEIVE MY WRATH!!!” Mbah Jambrong raised his hands up while shouting with all his might.
”Shana, what is this? How can those spirits become his pets? It this one kind of skill?” Randy didn't know if this old man crazy or he had a skill could tame those spirits.
Since the Battle of Ascension began, there was nothing impossible. Maybe this old man really could control the spirit with a skill he didn't know.
”No, it's impossible. You could not find combat skill until then…” Shana denied Randy's conjecture.
”Until then?” Randy cut Shana off. Looked like she knew something about skill, so Randy asked her.
But Shana only shook her head, unwilling to give confirmation to him.
”There is a skill like that, but it's impossible. I'm sure this is...” Crazy. But before she could finish her words, she heard a creepy laugh. It was the creepy laugh of Kuntilanak, also the laugh was not only from one Kuntilanak.
”Hihihihi…”
”Hihihihi…”
”Hihihihi…”
...
Randy looked at his surrounding, there were many Kuntilanaks were hovering on the air and around Black Kamboja Tree.
Meanwhile, Pocongs were capering around him. Randy estimated there were over two hundred Pocong and over two hundred Kuntilanak, or maybe even more.
”You said it was impossible, but look now. He is really calling these spirits,” Randy said in a low voice, his expression was solemn. If Mbah Jambrong had a skill, then maybe he was strong so he must be cautious against him.
