Chapter 3 - The Mystery of the Headless Body

Hearing that scream, made Angga feel that something was wrong happened from behind there, made Angga finally run towards the source of the sound to make sure that the woman who had shouted was okay, and if it wasn't okay, Angga would help her as best he could.

Angga ran down a path that was only available in front of him. He didn't find a single bend, he could clearly see the passage that stretched out ahead, just as when he walked for more than five hours, he couldn't find a bend at all.

However, when Angga was running and his gaze was focused on the front, a dim light suddenly passed and entered to penetrate him so that his vision was blurred for a moment.

"Ugh-" Angga stopped his footsteps for a moment to rub his eyes which felt shaded, and again he was about to continue his steps to explore the place, and in the end, he was surprised not to play when he found an intersection that at that time just appeared in front of him.

With a confused look on his face, he looked back and looked back at the intersection in front of him. Obviously… he felt that there was something strange in this labyrinth. Because he was sure that a few seconds ago he had not found an intersection like this, but strangely the intersection appeared suddenly when Angga was rubbing his eyes which felt shaded.

However, he couldn't and shouldn't think long, because he had to quickly find the woman who screamed a while ago, which in the end made Angga feel distracted by his decision making which must make him decide which way to turn.

"Huft… Okay, I'll head right first," murmured Angga to himself, he nodded his head after he believed that the source of the sound of the scream was heard from the left side when he walked forward and it was the right side if he turned towards the back, which in the end Angga walked quickly and then turned to the right, according to the instructions he spoke to himself.

Angga's two fast-paced footsteps suddenly stopped when he saw the pool of blood that his left foot had just stepped on, and his gaze was now tracing the pool of blood, which in the end made Angga quite shocked after knowing where the pool of blood came from.

"Huh… hhhh…. hhh…" Angga's breath was now roaring, Angga felt even more awkward after seeing a leg that was now lying on the other corner not far from where Angga was currently standing. Maybe about four to six meters away from where Angga was standing, Angga couldn't see the whole body lying in front of his eyes, because it was blocked by a bend that turned to the left.

He wanted so badly to turn around and not approach the person lying on the corner, but he believed that it was a woman he had heard screaming a while ago.

Angga admits that even though he feels scared like now, he can't help it leave the lying woman alone. Angga knew that the woman needed help, and it was clear from the flowing blood that Angga thought that the woman was injured. That's what made Angga venture to step closer to the corner.

"Good grief!"

Angga screamed when he was surprised when he saw a terrible apparition in front of him. Angga quickly closed his mouth and nausea that emerged from his body finally made Angga vomit, after he witnessed something terrible that made his body react in that way.

The acute stress caused after Angga sees something terrible, eventually temporarily changes the brain's neurochemical system so that it can cause physical symptoms such as nausea and vomiting. That's what Angga feels at this time, he was shocked and became stressed after he saw a body lying without a head.

"Hh ... hhh ..." Angga's breath caught, his body felt very weak and unable to support his weight anymore, so he chose to sit with his back to the body. Reluctant in the slightest to turn his head back or face the headless corpse he had witnessed just a moment ago.

Angga couldn't think clearly at that time, he couldn't even think of anything other than pensive in surprise. His tan-skinned face suddenly turned deathly pale, cold sweat even dripped down Angga's temples and around his forehead.

He really wanted to leave that place, but he didn't have much energy. It was as if his energy had just been drained after he was nauseous and vomited, which in the end he paused for a moment to neutralize his shock at that time.

For a few minutes, after Angga felt that he was able to do other things, Angga finally got up from his seat and looked slowly at the headless body that was still lying behind there. This also made Angga hesitantly step closer to the headless body.

Both of Angga's eyes are currently looking at the body carefully, the body looks so terrible that again makes Angga close his mouth to hold back nausea that attacks him again. However, in the end, Angga was able to deal with it after he stabilized his breath a few times.

The headless body lying in front of Angga is now the body of a woman, and Angga is convinced that this body is the body of the woman he had heard his screams of. Angga also became increasingly convinced that the woman was a woman who screamed after she touched the flowing blood and felt that she was still warm.

All of this indicated that this woman had just died, and a few minutes later she was found by Angga. He took Angga's breath in response to this, this woman died horribly and suddenly a question appeared in Angga's mind, which made Angga feel quite afraid after realizing it.

"H…the head,…where is the head?" asked Angga as he turned to the right and left to find the head that was separated from his body. "Hh ... hhh ..." Angga's breath which was originally normal now became roaring again when he couldn't find the head that was separated from his body around there.

Angga's logic immediately functions when Angga feels panicked like he is now, someone must have killed him sadly and taken his head. That's the logic that came into Angga's head, because it can be seen clearly that the severed neck there looks very neat, which makes Angga feel that the person who killed him was using a weapon such as a knife or sharp sword, realizing that it made himself frozen in place. , "S… who brought it?? who did it??" That's the question that finally came and was mumbled by Angga, followed by a question that became the key in this murder, 'Where did the person who killed this woman go?'.

All of these questions made Angga feel that he too was in a critical situation, he could be the next victim, if true this person is someone who is really sadistic. Both of Angga's eyes looked back at the headless body lying in front of him, Angga looked thoroughly at the headless body and ended up finding a tattoo depicted on his right hand, which made Angga approach the body and saw the tattoo.

A written word, which ultimately stuck in Angga's memory at this time. The tattoo reads 'In the middle of every difficulty lies Opportunity.' as well as another in Spanish 'La vida es una eleccion, hay muchas pistas, solo abre los ojos, los oidos y el corazon.' fortunately Angga mastered many languages and among them were Spanish, and that thing In favor of his current self, he quickly read the inscription of the tattoo and remembered it well.

The first tattoo is a tattoo that reads the wise words of the famous physicist Albert Einstein, the writing means that 'In the midst of adversity there is always opportunity and the other tattoo is a word written in Spanish which means, 'life is a choice,' there are many clues, just open your eyes, ears, and heart' there. You just need to open your eyes, ears, and heart'. After reading the tattoo, Angga felt that he had to remember the two words he had just understood.

Tap… Tap… Tap…

The sound of approaching footsteps, made Angga surprised to hear it. One thing he could think of, he had to run away from that place.
