The next day, in the afternoon, Jack visits that housing complex. He observes that area from a distance by staying in the woods, like he is spying on the enemy.He even makes a simple map, and then marks each point where they installed the floodlights. He goes around the place, just to find a spot that he could exploit. Until he gets to the area behind Arifin’s house, and finds so many people there.“Is this the spot Raden told before? Seems like they do concentrate their men here. They even make some camps around this area.”He goes a bit further to the uphill, so that he can observe the activity inside that housing complex. There he finds that most of the residents' activities are focused on the south, and the east part where Arifin’s house is located.The gate is on the west with a few armed guards watching over that area. The block in the north part looks so quiet, because indeed the house in that area is mostly unoccupied.He watches people in and out of certain houses. As he kee

The next day, Arifin comes visiting Andini again. However, that girl denies his visit because of that sudden kiss she received last night.Arifin quite considerate, and understands the reason. So he doesn’t push his way and gives her some space.“Don’t worry too much. She looks fine today. Maybe she's just not in a good mood,” says Elma as she escorts Arifin out of the house.“Please, Aunty! Just inform me later if anything serious happens. I’ll stay in the complex doing my training.”Elma nods with her peaceful smile. And Arifin just starts his training right from that house, running around the housing complex to complete his daily training regime.He still wants to try the same thing as before, hunting blood and soul crystal in the night with a higher difficulty.Every time he passes that corner, Andini always observes him intently in secret from behind the curtain. She starts thinking, how great it is if she can join him with that jogging activity.At some point, she feels a bit of

Of course, that evil spirit doesn’t care what would happen to Jack’s body either. It’s not her body, and it seems like she despised humans more than anything.Sadly, the next time Jack tries to slam that metal pole with the only one hand he has, Arifin severs that hand too.“What now?” Arifin smirks by sending an intimidating aura.Jack immediately gets away. That evil spirit thinks that she is still moving faster with Jack’s body. But in less than five seconds after she tries to get Jack’s body away, Arifin already catches up to him, and slams Jack’s temple using his knuckle.That’s the first time Arifin uses his full speed under that condition with the doping effect of consuming two blood crystals, following it with a hit using his full strength. He burns quite a lot of calories for that one move, and notices that his stamina has dropped to 64 %.“Why are you running? Are you no longer interested in my corrupted soul?”He pins him down with one leg, and then takes out his mystical k

On the other hand, Andini is currently sitting on the back of a military truck owned by the mercenary that Dr. Cohen hired. Her face looks so blank like someone has been hypnotized.She keeps getting some soothing whispering, telling her that she is going to be okay as long as she is back to her master. In fact, Dr. Cohen himself is no longer trying to communicate with her. All those words are just the suggestion that he had planted in Andini’s subconscious.“We almost lost her,” whines Dr. Cohen with a pale face before relieving a sigh.“You were too impatient to send her there, while your condition had not fully recovered,” replies Naomi, helping Dr. Cohen to get back to his bed.That man looks so tired after trying his best to completely control Andini’s body.“That’s not what I’m saying. The girl was trying to commit suicide by jumping into a dry river. I thought I had managed to influence her to leave that place. That’s why I believed she was already under my control. But she sud

That morning, Arifin asks Yusuf for Andini’s photo. Thankfully, Yusuf is still keeping one photo of Andini, the one that he used to look for her when she was missing after the tsunami.He goes back to Mr. Natsir’s hut and gives the photo. Mr. Natsir simply shows the photo to the two spirit creatures that hide under his robe, and then gives it back to Arifin.“Is that it? Won’t they forget her face later?” Arifin doubts. “Don’t they need to also show this photo when they ask their friends later.”“Kid, there are so many things you don’t know about these creatures. These two with me might be a bit naive like kids. But they don’t easily forget people. And the way they communicate with each other is different from us. Anyway, why don’t I show you something.”Mr. Natsir then whispers something under his robe. A moment later, he comes closer to Arifin, and then one spirit creature approaches Arifin’s head.Arifin can see it coming, but only in the shape of a small orb. He feels a bit eerie
