"Morning,"
Reta greeted me when she passed me at the office lobby door. I saw that the girl looked as usual, friendly and sometimes looked awkward in front of me. However, what happened last night was a reality, not a dream. I dare to take a pocong oath to guarantee it.
"Where are you going?"
I blocked her steps for a moment. She lowered his face briefly, then looked up for a while, "Going to the cafeteria, have breakfast,"
Her face was slightly red, accompanied by a smile that emerged from her lips.
"Want to come along?"
I noticed her expression which looked normal as usual. There's nothing strange about it. Unlike yesterday, she looks very brave. Ah, but surely this girl has a secret.
Suddenly someone pushed my back behind me, so I lost my balance and almost crushed the girl in front of me.
"Ouch, sorry on purpose!"
Rita's face was getting redder. I stood up straight again. The bastard Erwin looked grinning. I want to smack his head.
"Kamvret!"
It's been a mess in the morning.
.
Today, I have quite a lot of work, you could say piled up in fact. However, the damn brain in my head lacked focus, as if lazy to compromise. Lazy. Damn. I don't want to pile up work, let alone until tomorrow, just to finish it today. If necessary, just overtime, folks. Or don't go home at all. After all, no one is waiting for me at home, I'm single. Uh.
Want to know what made my brain lose focus today? Yep, that's of course regarding last night's events which I feel like a dream. Even I half didn't believe it, even though I experienced it myself.
Just imagine, people who are used to living a normal life-yes, just pretend my life is normal-without ever seeing strange things related to demons, demons, kamvret, bastards and the like, except recently, suddenly had to experience a crazy event now i seeing demons devour humans, in front of one's own eyes?
And the strange thing is, I dared to fight the demon when the girl who I thought was weak all this time, accompanied me, even though after that I was like a person in deep shock too.
Whereas, before, I was afraid and immediately ran away. I can't help people who want to be eaten by the devil.
Just looking at the demon had made my guts shrivel like crackers dipped in coffee.
But last night, I really couldn't believe it.
Haha...
Because my brain isn't focused today, I'm getting dizzy. There's still a lot of work to do until it's almost time to go home. It's certain, I have to work overtime again today. Work like a horse.
Let it be, at least it's not forced labor or romusha like in the colonial era.
"Overtime again?"
Erwin approached me who was still busy at my desk, until it was time to go home. My friend looks like he's ready to leave the office. He's good, his job is done. As for me, there's still some left. But I don't want to put it off until tomorrow. Tonight too, if necessary, I do not have to go home.
"My work is still piling up because my brain is blank. It's really bad luck."
I answered. Erwin approached, looked at my desk for a moment.
"That's right. You really have to work overtime. Thank goodness, just enjoy it!"
Even mocked him.
"Idiot. Instead of laughing, you better buy me some food, Win..I'm hungry. There are many, I'm afraid I'll want to stay here for a year."
"You're stupid, staying for a year. Where are you?"
Luckily, Erwin is fine. See, even though he was about to leave the office, he still wanted to help me.
I reached into my wallet and took out one red note, then handed it to Erwin.
"Buy how much?"
He asked.
"Whatever. The important thing is a little more,"
I said, returning to focus on work. Erwin nodded and immediately left for the nearest minimarket.
I did have lunch today, but still, if it's been a few hours, I'll be hungry again. Moreover, the weather is now cold, and soon it will rain.
Well, right. Right after five minutes I thought about the rain that was about to fall, finally the sound of water droplets falling from the sky, appeared as well. The sky outside was dark, accompanied by the occasional sound of thunder.
Moreover, the day was already starting to turn to night. This is like yesterday, made me lazy to go home because of the heavy rain, then met Reta who I was about to take to her house, and then in the middle of the road we saw...
The sound of a large thunderbolt made me jump slightly in surprise. That's because suddenly I was daydreaming in front of the computer, even though I was completing an assignment. Good grief. I remembered what happened yesterday.
Several colleagues who were about to go home, greeted me.
Before long, Erwin came while jogging towards the point where I was. .His hand threw the plastic wrap at me.
"Why is it?"
I immediately turned around, somewhat irritated by his behavior. How can you not be irritated, if you suddenly get thrown at something?
I looked at his panting face and looked shocked.
"I saw a dead person across from the mini market! Someone saw it, it's scary! His body looks like it was almost mutilated!"
I swallowed. What happened again?
Oops, could this be the doing of the...
"Just look, it's busy on the street!"
Erwin still shuddered. He wiped the raindrops on his face.
Why did it happen near where we work?
It just makes me restless. Damn, that demon managed to eat humans again.
Too cruel. Couldn't he have changed his food menu with nasi padang, fried rice, or bread?
Of the many foods in this world, why eat humans?
"I'm not going home ah, never mind with you,"
Erwin dragged a plastic chair and sat next to me. His backpack was placed on my desk.
"Why are you scared?"
I'm still busy speeding work even though my concentration has been dispersed.
"Yeah, I'm horrified to see that!"
Who would not be horrified, seeing people die with horrific brutal bodily injuries. Except for psychopaths or people with mental disorders. .maybe that group of people will actually be happy when they see a crazy scene, for a normal human mind to be sane.
"I'm horrified, where are you really looking at it, hi!"
Erwin had already rubbed one of the jumbo-sized packets of potato chips and ate it. I also ate it, after all, even though my mind was scattered, the hunger in my stomach did not decrease.
However, my guess would be to stay at the office tonight, it turned out to be wrong. Because an hour later, my work is done too.
Thank goodness, if I could come home tonight.
The atmosphere in the office was getting quiet. There were several fellow employees who were still there, they were also talking about the same thing that Erwin had just said. What if it wasn't about the gruesome death near this office site?
Tomorrow there will be more people talking about it. And I can guess that the victim who died by the devil's mischief, must be a man.
"Let's go back, Erwin. I want to rest,"
I woke up my friend who had been asleep since half an hour ago. The boy squirmed and got up.
"Oh? Have you done your job? Aren't you going to stay?"
He asked. I'm disgusted, there's a drool on one side of his mouth.
"No."
I quickly cleared my desk. Then walked to the parking lot with Erwin. We didn't go home by car, because we brought our own cars. But, if Erwin wants to ride my car, that's fine. I don't mind, even though the direction of where we live is different.
When our car came out of the office parking area, there were crowds of people on the left, right across from the mini market as Erwin said. Two of our cars drove down the street and, gee...
The rancid smell of blood smelled quite pungent in the area. I accelerated my car, ahead of Erwin's car in front of me. He honked because he thought I was overtaking him on purpose. Though of course not. I just want to get away from the annoying smell that pierces my hide, or I'll throw up if I inhale the nauseating scent for too long.
Erwin should understand that, because I'm sure he smelled rancid too. Unless his nose sucks.
Then after a few meters, the damn smell no longer smelled. I can breathe easier and better. I'm grateful.
The rain has also started to lessen. Erwin and I parted ways one kilometer later.
Huft, luckily I didn't throw up because I smelled the scent just now.
However, that doesn't mean my trip to the apartment went smoothly without a hitch. In the drizzle, as my car turned the corner to a rather deserted apartment, I saw a woman standing at the end of a dimly lit street.
A woman whose stature I recognized quite well. Yes, I'm pretty sure, from a distance of five meters, my eyes can still see clearly even though there are a few dewdrops stuck to the windshield of the car.
That... Lydia?
Good grief! Is that true?!
When the light of my car headlights hit her, the woman walked behind the building of a small shop that had closed. I parked my car right in front of the shop. Then, immediately get out of the car.
I walked slowly towards the back right of the shop building, where the woman who looked like Lidia had disappeared, and...
That's right, I saw that woman standing there, quite a distance away. Her body turned to me.
"Lydia! What are you doing there?!"
Good grief. A second later, I regretted what I just did. How come I always call that person, just because she looks like Lidia?
It could be, she's not Lydia. Or worse, not human?
I swallowed. Perhaps...
Suddenly I was surprised because the woman in front there, did things that could not possibly be done by common humans.
That woman, definitely not human. Yes, I'm absolutely sure!
How can a human be able to climb the walls on either side of the building alternately? The movement is fast too.
Uh, I remember superhero movies on television. But, of course that person is not a superhero. Because she looks scary, even though his face can't be seen by me.
The woman, having arrived at the end of the walls of the two buildings, jumped into the air and simply disappeared, accompanied by droplets of liquid that might have come from her body. Like drizzle drops with a rather large size.
This is not right.
One drop of the liquid hit the left shoulder of my shirt. I turned and rubbed the part.
The liquid is thick in color, the texture is a bit thick. And when it smells holy...
Damn disgusting..
