The ceiling turned like a television screen showing sadistic scenes.
“You’re going to regret doing this to me, Bitch!” That pitiful voice came from the gruesome scene up there, where a girl is skinned alive by someone of the same gender.
Dev’s eyes bulged in anger, wanting to say something, but all she could hear were bubbles of water coming in and out of her mouth.
In the following seconds, Dev’s entire head sinks completely. The cannibal scene above her head slowly dimmed as her consciousness slowly faded away.
Subconsciously, several human figures flashed through her brain like a photo album. In the darkness of her eyes, Dev sees the little devil laughing, then the figure changes to a tribe of assassins, then changes to a fire dragon, then changes to ….
“Elfara!” Dev gasps when the last face she sees is that of her own sister.
She tried to get up and looked around. The water that had drowned her had receded.
“Are they all related to Elfara?” She suddenly remembered the fight in the forest that time when Nick was forced to confess his love for Masma.
“That cry is very similar to Elfara’s voice. Everything that’s happened makes my head hurt so much.” She straightened the bones of her body that felt weak and sore. Armed with high emotions and curiosity, she decided to go to a place where the assassin tribes received prison confinement.
To the old and ugly woman Dev’s eyes pierced cruelly. She would not spare anyone proven to have a connection with Elfara’s disappearance.
“How does it feel to be isolated in a blind and pathetic state?” Dev taunts the former beautiful woman who is said to be the lord of the forbidden forest.
“What do you want?” The blind woman asked as if she knew who the owner of the voice was.
“What does your tribe have to do with that white demon?”
“Who do you mean?”
“The little girl who blinded your eyes!”
“So … her?”
“Don’t you really know?”
“Go! You’ve got what you wanted. Don’t bother me anymore!” The assassin said with a heavy breath.
“No! Before you say everything,” forced Dev.
“I don’t want to!” This answer made Dev laugh out loud.
“Do you want to protect the demon that has taken away your beauty? In fact, you are blind because of her. You did a pointless thing. Anyway, where are your two crazy friends? Are they dead?” Dev pouts.
“Enough!” snapped the woman.
“My name is Yerin Kang.”
“I didn’t ask your name,” said Dev. The woman replied with an irritated expression.
“Our ancestors were victims of human trafficking who were lured in by high-paying jobs here. One of the civilians who saw their plight had released them on the harsh conditions of joining the sect she led. They worshiped King Asmodeus who with his blessings, they are not only able to take revenge, but also gain eternal beauty and magic that is feared by all tribes in the forest, including the Huaorani and Yanomami tribes who are known as the most powerful tribes in the forest. All these gifts are passed on to their descendants with consistent rituals. You asked about the white demon, right?”
“I don’t have to do it again!” said Dev.
“She is a powerful spirit in the forest. She can change shape into any form she wants and act as she pleases. The spirit will terrorize any target that has anything to do with the deal ….”
Argh!
Suddenly, Yerin Kang screamed while holding her neck. Dev is shocked, and she doesn’t understand what is going on with that Asian woman.
Yerin Kang’s eyeball almost popped out. Dev notices something moving in Yerin Kang’s throat. A circle that gets bigger and bigger until the wrinkled skin tightens.
“What happened to you?” Yerin Kang couldn’t answer. She groaned and groaned in pain. After a while, the woman’s neck finally erupted.
The splattered blood made Dev’s tongue numb. Everything just happened. She couldn’t stop it and now the moaning was gone. Yerin Kang died for no reason.
“Hey, what are you doing?” A female warden catches Dev who is on the verge of confusion.
“Die?” The warden glared sharply at Dev as she checked Yerin Kang’s pulse.
“What happened?” The warden asked again.
“I don’t know!”
“You don’t know?”
“This place has surveillance cameras, right?”
“Don’t go anywhere! Wait until I prove you don’t know anything.” The silver-haired warden confirmed.
She takes Dev to the surveillance room after evacuating Yerin Kang’s body. On the monitor screen, she could see the conversation between Dev and Yerin Kang. Dev is proven innocent.
“Satisfied?” One word was enough to make the officer lose her expression. Dev immediately lifts foot from there.
***
Dev gets very annoyed that again, she has to solve the puzzle herself. Where else and to whom should she find the many pieces of the puzzle?
“Yerin Kang couldn’t have died suddenly. It must have been the little devil who did it. I have to find Elfara as soon as possible. Nania … yes, Nania. Could it be that what I saw while drowning in that house really did it to Elfara? ” Dev quickens her pace.
“I won’t find Nania easily. There is no other way, but to use that method.”
“Uncle, come home!” Dev asks Michele and Mehmet when they get home.
“Are you okay?” asked Michelle.
“Yes. Is my mother all right?”
“Jess is safe with us. She’s not awake yet,” said Michele.
“Thank you, you guys have helped.”
“Forget it! Well I’ll excuse myself!” goodbye Michele. Dev just nodded slightly.
“Uncle Mehmet thank you,” Dev said sincerely.
“No problem! Dev, you have to be careful. Drink this to your mother when she wakes up.” Mehmet held out a 1. 5 liter bottle of mineral water.
“What’s this?”
“Just plain water, but I put prayer on it. It is useful for removing all diseases. You can drink it too,” explained Mehmet.
“Thank you.” Mehmet nods, then leaves after lightly tapping Dev’s shoulder.
After checking Jess, Dev Sasaka went to the room. Lighted only by the dim yellow light, she crossed her legs at the side of the bed. She imagined Nania’s face in her eyes. For half an hour, her efforts ended in failure. Suddenly, pain strikes the head and throat. Dev feels tired and thirsty.
“Shit! Shit!” Dev curses incessantly.
She decided to postpone her intentions. An unhealthy physique led her to lie down. Dev staggers towards the table where she puts the water bottle given by Mehmet. The water that was supposed to be for Jess, she had to gulp down a little. Just to relieve the heat and soreness in the throat.
A few minutes after drinking the water, things got worse. Cold sweat dripped from the pores. Dev rummaged in the drawer, then took the tablets and drank it shaking violently. Next, she just collapsed.
