“Do you think that I’m interested in the wizarding world?” Elfara looks angrily at Dev.
“I didn’t ask that, right? I found it in your room.”
“It’s up to you, I don’t care.” Elfara said coldly and Dev chose silence. Not wanting to make Elfara’s mood worse.
When they got home, the two of them stayed silent until nightfall. Strangeness happened again. Dev in her room several times heard dragon groans, but couldn’t see the form.
In desperation, Dev covers her ears. For some reason, suddenly a feeling of heat began to flow throughout her body. Sweat begins to escape from the pores. Suddenly, Dev hates the audio that Mehmet autoplays every morning, noon, and night.
“Argh!” Dev starts to roll and starts to feel electricity stinging her leg.
“Asmodeus!” She muttered. She saw the three-headed creature in the mirror reflection with a very angry face.
“Mehmet é um inimigo em um cobertor! Você tem que mata-lo!” Asmodeus in his blanket of darkness ordered firmly. Dev just shook her head and shouted.
After the Dark Lord disappeared, Dev ransacked the late Nick’s study. Looking for the player Mehmet is using. However, the strange sensation she felt had taken control of her body. In fact, her thoughts.
“Qul ‘audzu birabbinnas ….” The verses kept echoing. Dev immediately came out of the room, then heard her sister screaming.
“Elfara!”
Arriving at Elfara’s room, Dev is shocked by her sister’s terrible condition. Dev doesn’t know what happened so that the girl’s skin was covered with burns. Elfara was cornered against the wall and it looked like something was strangling her neck.
“Elfara!” Dev wants to stop the forces attacking her sister, but she is powerless so what is happening can’t be stopped. They fainted.
At the hospital, Jess’ condition worsened. The woman had anoxic anoxia. Such conditions put Jess between life and death. Subconsciously, Jess was suddenly trapped in a strange place, in an old building lit only by candlelight.
“Hello! Hello!” shouted Jess. No one answered. Only the sound of the night birds was enough to make the back of her neck goosebumps.
“What place is this?” Jess looked around. The room lit only by a few candles in the room contained a resin statue of a beautiful goddess whose body was crawled by a snake.
At a glance, Jess saw the statue move. Out of curiosity, she approached the statue, then touched several parts of the statue’s body. First, she touched the face, then down to the head of the snake hanging from the chest. When it touched that part, suddenly the snake came alive. Jess yelped as the back of her hand was pecked.
This made her go into a state of shock. Jess ran, but the snake chased after her. In fact, managed to wrap around her body. The longer the time, the tighter the loop. Jess stammered and couldn’t scream. Especially when the snake’s head reaches her face.
The sound of bones rang out from within her body. Jess saw that the statue of the naked goddess she had touched was also alive and slowly approached it. Jess tried to free herself, but her body was already overrun by the snake. Jess’ face went pale from the decreased oxygen supply.
“Go away from me!” Jess exclaimed, but her voice was stuttering and very weak.
Squeezed by the situation, Jess tried her best to walk towards the door. Struggling to pick up the broken window strut she saw around there. When she managed to retrieve it, Jess stabbed the snake’s body repeatedly with the iron. For a moment, She was able to be released from the shackles because she still had to deal with the statue of the beautiful woman in front of her.
The living statue’s eyes turned black, then its body emitted black smoke that floated gently in the air. Two fangs were clearly visible as her mouth opened. Before long, a long tongue stuck out, then tied Jess’ neck.
Unprepared for the attack, Jess was thrown against the glass window causing the glass to shatter. Instantly Jess felt the painful tightness again. The tears represent the words stuck in the throat.
However, Jess didn’t want to give up
just like that. She should at least know what caused the living statue to attack her. Silently, she picked up the shards of glass that hurt several parts of her body, then she quickly used the pieces of glass to stab the tongue that entangled her. She did this over and over again without pause until finally the tongue of the demon statue broke off, and she was free.
Jess sat up coughing. She saw that her hands were covered in mucus and bloodstains. The woman who attacked her was gone. Jess caught her ragged breath. For a moment, she could breathe a sigh of relief.
“I’m getting out of this damn place,” Jess muttered after hearing the strange sound of the night birds.
As Jess stood up, the woman felt something strange on the back of her hand. Like something moving in the snake bite. Jess immediately checked. She was surprised to see the wound widening and rotting. All the muscles of the hand began to look black and it continued to spread throughout the body.
Jess’ lips trembled, she saw something moving in the back of her hand start to pop out. Moments after that, large maggots burst out from there in great numbers. Jess screamed and suddenly her body was covered in maggots. Jess fell in a pathetic condition.
Immediately with that, the medical team in the ICU shook their heads in resignation. The doctor checks the patient’s pulse, then removes all medical devices attached to the patient’s body.
“Patient is dead. Call Mrs. Jessy’s family quickly.” The doctor called.
***
Ring!
The ringing of the phone broke the silence of Erhan’s residence.
“Deva!”
“Deva!”
“Elfara!”
A man looked left and right, then walked into the living room and picked up the phone. “Hello,” he said. The conversation then flowed. The man just listened to the caller without a word. A few seconds later, the man’s face turned pale.
In another room, in Elfara’s room, Dev starts to open her eyes. The deafening audio was no longer heard. Dev moves her aching hand. She groaned a little. Seeing that Elfara had not yet regained consciousness, a whisper suddenly buzzed in her ear.
“Mate seu inimigo!” Dev gets up and takes the knife in the fruit basket on Elfara’s table, then walks lightly into the living room.
Right behind the man who was still daydreaming at the telephone table, Dev stopped, then planted her stainless rod on the man’s back. Suddenly, the man turned around before finally falling to the floor in a pool of blood. Dev is transfixed for a while.
“Dev, what are you doing?” The man stammered. His shattered face makes Dev instantly realize and regret her actions.
“Uncle Mehmet ….” Dev gets to her knees and can hardly believe her actions.
“Uncle ….”
“Dev, your mother ….”
“Mommy? What’s wrong with her, Uncle?” Dev asks worriedly. However, before she could get an answer, Mehmet had already turned a blind eye.
Dev’s body shakes, she is at a loss for words. Very confused about what happened. Guilt stabbed her conscience. At that time, the telephone line had not been disconnected. Faintly, she heard the caller’s voice.
“I’m sorry, Uncle. I’m sorry, Elfara. At least they’ll help you. I have to pay for what I did.” After saying that, Dev leaves Mehmet and Elfara.
Thirty minutes passed Erhan’s house filled with police. Dev is furious with herself. The devil’s whisper managed to snatch her senses. To make amends, Dev decides to self-isolate in the forest. However, before doing that, Dev goes to the hospital changing her appearance to Devada.
“Mommy! Ners, what happened to mo— um … I mean Mrs. Jessy?” Dev asked when she caught a nurse covering Jess’ whole body with something else and was about to take her somewhere.
“Who are you?” Ners asked back.
“I’m her relative.”
“Mrs. Jess is dead. I’m moving her to the morgue.” Dev is wide open, the pain strikes her chest again. She looked sadly at her mother’s face before the nurses took her to the morgue.
Dev notices strange a symbol on her mother’s chest. It was the same symbol she got from Elfara’s room. Her suspicions grew stronger that someone was deliberately cooperating with the devil to destroy her family.
Not being strong anymore, Dev rushed out of the hospital building and walked unsteadily towards the city park which was very quiet. Dev sits in a daze on a worn wooden chair. Drowning in deep pain. Thinking of her mother’s death, her crimes against Mehmet, and the fate of Elfara.
“I’m sorry. I really am a coward. I can only avoid their suffering.” Dev said regretfully.
“Este é o verdadeiro você. Satanás do inferno.” A three-headed creature suddenly appeared riding a serpent dragon.
“No, Asmodeus. You are the demon!”
“Você é meu descendente. Meu sangue corre em seu corpo. Você não pode negar.” King Asmodeus said with a laugh, then disappeared into the pitch black night.
Dev growls angrily. Such a condition changed her physique into a half-human half-monster. The dragon scales that grow on some of her skin make Dev look scary.
“I’m not a demon child!” Denies Dev with chest heaving.
“It’s the devil’s fault that terrorized my family. I won’t spare whoever is behind all this chaos.” Dev gets excited. She took out the sigil which she still kept well.
After thinking carefully, Dev goes to the place where Nania lives. She stopped in front of the hut. From there, she heard clearly the voices of Nania and Elios. Dev clenched her fists as if anger was wracking her heart.
“How can you rejoice in my misery.” Dev moves forward. However, she stopped when she heard Nania sobbing.
“Hey, why are you crying? Am I not cute?” Elios’ voice was heard.
“No! I just feel like this is all too soon to end. I’ve been waiting for this for a long time. Your tenderness and love even though your heart is only for Devada.” Nania’s sad voice inevitably makes Dev sliced.
“Don’t say that again Nania. In my heart you have your own place as well as Devada. Nania, I love you more than anything. You are my best friend since childhood. You have always protected me all this time. You even almost died many times because of me. To me, you are the incarnation of an angel from heaven. You are very kind to anyone. Even to people you don’t know.” Elios sobbed a little.
“Elios, promise me, you’ll always take care of Devada. Find her, she’s a good girl. She’s just a little grumpy. That’s my last request.” Dev takes a step back. Unknowingly, tears welled up in her eyes.
“Why do I feel sick hearing every word Nania says? What kind of feeling is this? No! I can’t be influenced.” Dev strengthens the heart by denying all feelings. Immediately with that, someone with a silver mask came breaking down Nania’s door.
“Who are you?” Elios asked.
“It’s not in your interest to know. You just need to tell me where Mehmet is.” Dev is shocked when the masked man mentions her father’s best friend’s name.
“I don’t know! I’ve told you many times, I don’t know. It’s been a long time since I’ve seen my uncle?” Elios said casually.
“So, Elios is uncle Mehmet’s nephew?” mumbled Dev.
“You’re still lying?” Then the sound of hitting was heard. Looks like they’re fighting.
“Don’t! Don’t hurt Nania!” Elios shouted. Hearing that, Dev spontaneously goes inside.
“Stop it, bastard!” Dev kicks the man from behind. The man fell and was injured.
Feeling insulted, the masked man retaliates against Dev. The two finally got into a fight. After all, Dev is a half demon. She could easily defeat an ordinary human. The fight ends with the fractured bones of the masked man. Dev quickly removes the silver mask.
“It’s easy to recognize who you are. Now, tell me where Doctor Michele is!” The man was silent, then died.
“Huh, damn it!” Dev swears. Along with that Nania suddenly came to hug her. As it goes on, Dev’s face turns calm.
“Devada, where have you been all this time? Why was it so hard to see you? You know, I missed you. I’m sorry I got mad at you.” Dev reflexively returns Nania’s hug. She just remembered that she was playing Devada.
“Devada ….” Elios exclaimed, awakening Dev who was almost tempted by Nania. Dev suddenly let go of Nania’s embrace and only glanced briefly at Elios, then walked away from them.
“My heart says that Nania is not the culprit.” Dev finally listens more to her heart.
Since Dev cannot return to Paranoa, she finally chooses to return to her other luxury home in Lago Sul. The house is a little unkempt, but still comfortable to live in. After what happened, Dev is unable to sleep. Ever since her encounter with the masked man, she had been thinking about him constantly.
“I have to save Doctor Michele and find out what their relationship with Uncle Mehmet is.”
Running with super strength, she can get there fast. Dev is scouting the headquarters of the silver masked human group. Dodging the guards with her machinations, Dev manages to sneak in. Their room looked clean. There are many statues of naked women crawling with snakes as well as sigils ….
“Bastard!” Dev suddenly curses.
