When Ze saw television about an accident on a train track in Klaten Regency, she immediately remembered the existence of the UWe people who often throw tantrums to get human bodies. Does the accident that claimed many victims have something to do with the dark nation which centered in the Bermuda Triangle? There was something unique, the name of the railroad track: "Mbah Ruwet", in english the mean as "Complicated Grandma or Grandma of Complitated". Is that the locals' nickname for the ghost who guard the barred track? The word "complicated" has created a haunted and spooky impression. Of course, the railroad track was barred, but if Lucifer and his men intended to increase the number of UWe people, the death track would be used. They will easily find prey in such a place, without hard work. On TV broadcasts it is said that in the last two years 40 people have died on that track. It's not a small number. Ze thought, maybe, there was a mischievous magical hand involved in the accidents. This becomes a puzzle in Ze's brain.
The Death Well Girl was interested in going directly to the place. Moreover, Klaten is not so far from Yogya, less than two hours away by motorbike. He had been there, while tracing the origins of the Ghost Drum Band. Ze intends to invite Wewek. "Going to Klaten just to see the train tracks?" Wewek asked, as Ze made her point. "Why go all the way? There are a lot of them in Yogya, let's take them. But if I go to Klaten, I don't want to," said Wewek, her voice like a hungry duck: wek-wek-wek! "Moreover, you are also a child, not an official, how can you order PT KAI to install a guardrail in that place."
"All right, sweet lady. But by the way, how many tissues have you spent wiping your fingers?" Ze said. Wewek's disease, which always picks her nose and hooks her feces, seems to be getting worse. "Wek, looks like you should go to a psychiatrist." Wewek was taken aback by her suggestion. Ze is a child with principles. She didn't care whether Wewek would accompany her or not, she had made up her mind to come to the place. Sunday morning, Ze had warmed up her motorbike. Blop roared until H. Bod, her father covered his ears. The next morning, Ze had asked permission not to deliver the chicken to the customer because she was leaving, but didn't say where she was going for fear of being banned. Ze drove Blop eastward. Splitting Solo Street, towards Klaten. The prayer is that there will be no police on the road carrying out an operation. But, approaching Prambanan Temple, from a distance, she saw the motorbikes being stopped by the police. Maybe the cops were after Nordin M. Top, the bomber. Is Ze turning around? No, choose to enter the rice fields.
"The girl really crazy, riding a motorbike in the rice fields!" exclaimed those who saw Ze. After the rice fields were finished she entered the village road. Ze looked for an alternative way to avoid the police investigation. He-he, she doesn't have a driver's license. Ze crossed the road on the east side of Prambanan Temple and entered the highway again and continued to drive east. She had to be on the lookout for reckless Yogya-Solo buses, who liked to race, who thought the roads belonged to their own grandmother. As soon as she arrived at Tegalyoso Hospital, right in front of a crowd of rickshaws, Ze stopped. She asked for directions to Mbah Ruwet's Path. The pedicab driver who was asked answered, "It's still quite far. You just follow the big buses. Later you meet with the Islamic Hospital, you just keep going. So, when you arrive at Jombor Village, you turn right!" Ze says thank you. After Ze gone, the pedicab driver was asked by his friends. The pedicab driver gave information. "Maybe she will take some flowers to the accident victim by train last day at Mbah Ruwet."
"But if she wants to kill herself, we are guilty of telling her."
"There's no sign of the kid trying to kill herself." Ze drove on and followed the big bus that didn't enter the city of Klaten but went through the outer ring road of the city.
"Wow, the bus entered the terminal," Ze whispered. However, another bus left the terminal and Ze followed it. At a red light there is a sign pointing to the Islamic Hospital. She looked to her left, that's right, it was the hospital. So she's not far away. When the light was green, Ze deliberately rided slowly so as not to go too far. There is a monument that reads Jombor Village. Ze turned right. There is a Catholic church with a newly departed congregation. Then there is the tomb and then the rice fields. Just then she heard the sound of a train and saw a train passing by. Ze decided not to cross the rails. She parked Blop by the side of the road, under a shaded mungur tree. Ze look around. She saw a farmer hoeing. Ze locked Blop with a secret key then she walked towards the farmer who was working.
Ze greeted, "Why haven't you rested yet, sir?"
"Oh, yes, just a moment," replied the farmer, kindly. The farmer is harvesting sweet potatoes. Ze sat on a rice field near a pile of sweet potatoes that had been removed from the ground. "It seems that you are a distant person, because I have only seen you once. If the children around here I already know it by heart, because they often pass by."
Ze laughed. "I'm from Yogya, sir. I came here because I wanted to know about Mbah Ruwet's Path."
"Oh, I see. Yes, this trajectory is the Mbah Ruwet Track."
"Why such a spooky name. Isn't there a better name than that?"
The farmer said, "It has a history. Mbah Ruwet is a person's name. Back in the 1950s, the old woman volunteered to look after the barred railroad track. Mbah Ruwet notifies road users when a train will pass. Passersby sometimes give her cake or small money as a thank you. Then, when Mbah Ruwet died, this track was called the Mbah Ruwet Track."
The rail has been built since the Dutch era. At first it was only single rail, but since 2000 it has become double rail, and it is getting more and more dangerous. "That village, which you passed earlier, is Jombor Village. Quite far from this track. To the east is Pokak Village, about 1.5 km away," said the farmer. "The group that was hit by the train the other day came from Sragen Regency, north of Solo. They were going to a wedding ceremony in Sragon Village, that's what the trees looked like from here. At that time the bus was picked up and guided by the relatives of the bride and groom. When crossing the rails, right in the middle of the tracks, the driver's motor stalled, unable to go forward and unable to reverse. Even though from a distance there is a train that will pass on the rail. The guide left his motorbike and told the bus to stop. But the bus had already entered the track. Actually, if the bus wasn't jammed, it wouldn't have been hit."
"Was the bus jammed because it was blocked by the jammed motorbike?"
"Not. The bus was jammed not because it was blocked by a broken motor. The bus engine also died. Finally, you know yourself, dozens of people died. Some survived because they were able to jump out of the bus." The farmer added, "If there is an accident on this track, people say that the watchghost was looking for a friend so they fell victim."
"Motorcycles and buses are both dead, weird," Ze thought. To the north, a little to the east, you can see a tree that is very tall and very shady. "There's a big tree over there, sir."
The farmer said, "Underneath there are two springs that are sacred to the people of Pokak. Its name is Sinongko spring but it is better known as Spring Pokak. Every year there is a "besik sendang" or clean-up event. At that time more than a hundred goats were slaughtered for the feast there. Strangely, when the goat's blood touched the ground, it just disappeared and left no trace. He said, sucked by it's watchghost. That said, the one who was watchghost was named Singodrono. That place is often used for meditation."
"Why didn't The Railway Company think about providing a crossbar?" Ze asked. She got an answer that in the past, an automatic bar was installed, strangely, if a train crossed the bar it didn't close, but when the train was far away the bar just closed. Disgusted by the way the automatic crossbar works, the residents remove it. However, on holidays, during the day, during the week The Railway Company assigned people to guard the Mbah Ruwet Track. After the holiday crowd is over, that's it, the guard is over.
Ze excuse me. She will go to Spring Pokak. In a matter of minutes she was at the spring. It is true that there are two springs. One has been expanded. Because of the dry season, the water is not so much. Towering like giants were two deciduous trees. Each one is not less than 2.5 meters in diameter. When you look up, wow, it looks very high. Very old tree. The roots appear out and protrude by crossing each other to form cliffs. There is a censer, people burn incense. There were some children swimming. Ze looked at her cellphone, looked at the clock, it was one in the afternoon. She decided to go home. Wewek is already on the terrace of the house. "Where were you? I've been waiting for you for hours."
"Since you don't want to take me, I'm going alone."
"So you went to Klaten? What a reckless brat!"
Ze paid no heed to Wewek's words. She thought about how she could ride on the demon barrel drum again. And lately Grandpa TTS has never contacted him. Does she have to wait for the night market to appear in order to become a ghost charmer? Ze remembered the words of the UWe who referred to her as a "girl spinning with smoky iron". Wasn't she able to enter the astral realm when she competed against Koboy in the field on the east side of UGM? If so, the key, she just needs to go round and round with her motorbike. It has to be verified. Ze can't calm down at school. Her only thought was going home. But unlucky because that day there was a sudden assignment, group work so that she had to go home in the afternoon. Failed her plan to conduct the test. It wasn't until the next day that Ze had time to do it. Four in the afternoon. Her house was quiet, her parents went to a relative's house who was having a celebration. Ze prepares in her large yard. She turned on Blop and he circled around with a fairly small diameter, about 2 meters.
A few moments after she turned around she felt a strange atmosphere, heard howling dogs shouted like the atmosphere of the middle of the night. Also heard the sound of rain falling on the roof even though the weather was very sunny. The cats growl for no apparent reason. Such a state was waiting for her, because it proved that he was about to enter the supernatural realm. There are two dark realm creatures roaming around Ze's house. Maybe they are clowns in the demon world. The UWe did continue to target her. To them, Ze was the number one fugitive. It's just that the hunt has failed and failed again.
"Even if UWe-1 descends on its own, it doesn't mean that it will be able to subdue this human child!" said UWe with clenched teeth. UWe-1 means Lucifer, the Emperor.
"Hus, you don't talk carelessly. If we are caught, we will be hurt. The emperor has a lot of spies," said UWe with a toothless middle tooth.
"Look, that kid is about to enter the occult realm. This is the best time to harm her. If we're lucky we can take her body."
"But so far we have failed. The body of this child was never left her spirit. Her body is always carried when she enters the spirit realm," said the barb-tooth, "if other humans have to leave his body when entering the supernatural realm, but this child is so special that she can take her body with her into the astral realm. The only way is to kill her, so that her spirit and body are separated."
"Let's prove that we are better than the other UWe!" exclaimed UWe with a missing middle tooth. "Create smog, then let me do the work!" At that moment Ze saw faint smoke appearing around her, the smoke then grew denser like a mosquito spray of dengue fever. That's not smoke from the Blop exhaust.
"Who burned the trash?" someone asked from behind the fence, when he saw the smoke in the yard of Haji Bod's house. Ze realized that she was on the verge of the gate of the unseen realm in the bowels of the earth. In the dark smoke, the girl was sucked into the earth. She hoped to meet Hidr soon. Two UWe were confused when they didn't find Ze, only her motorbike was lying around.
"We missed out! The child has disappeared!" The two UWe immediately followed by diving into the bowels of the earth. But Ze did not find a man marked alif in his turban. Ze looked around, "Where is Mr. Hidr?" If there is no Mr. Hidr how can she become a Ghost Hunter? She will also be very weak because her weapons will also not exist if there is no Hidr. However, Ze caught a movement. Ze followed it. It turned out to be a ferret with white fur running around while occasionally looking at her. Ze caught the meaning that the white ferret took her somewhere so she kept following it. The white weasel stopped somewhere. Hidr sat on a flat rock like a statue.
When Ze approached, Hidr said, "Now you often take the initiative to enter the occult world. Why?"
Ze replied, "Sorry, Mr. Hidr. Now I'm curious about Lintasan Mbah Ruwet who often eats victims. Does it have something to do with the actions of the dark world, which is controlled by the UWe people?"
"Mbah Ruwet's trajectory…," Hidr hissed, then meditated. After a moment of meditation, Hidr said, "You know that the UWe people take advantage of the competition between the two rulers of the region. Ruler of springs and watchghost of the track. There have been disputes for a long time so that each strengthens his men. The two rulers fought each other for spirits wandering in their territory. Meanwhile, the UWe used it to get the bodies of the victims. The bodies of accident victims who had been buried were taken to be used."
"Are the competing rulers Ki Singodrono and Mbah Ruwet?"
"It's true that there are Ki Singodrono and Mbah Ruwet. But it wasn't them who competed, but the ghosts who had piggybacked on the place's popularity. The ghosts that haunt the place. In every way they scare people and convince that the place is very haunted. Like the blood of a goat that disappears when it hits the ground. It was meant to cause fear. That way people will be sure if the place has a guardian so that every year a ritual is held. Likewise, the ghost in Mbah Ruwet's Trajectory, to ensure that the place is haunted, always look for ways to harm passers-by. For example, if a person is made deaf so as not to hear a train whistle, his eyes are blinded so he does not see a train, or the train is turned so that it appears as a cat or a goat, the next thing you know, the person is hit by a train."
"Isn't the doorstop necessary to prevent casualties?"
"That's right. Doorstop prevents accidents. But as long as evil creatures intentionally cause harm, the doorstop is of little importance. Many barred paths that take victims because of the devil's intention. The driver has been bewitched so that he doesn't think naturally anymore."
"Then what can we do?"
"The ghosts are out of Singodrono and Mbah Ruwet's control. Since the ghosts allied themselves with the UWe people, they rebelled and could not be controlled. We have to separate UWe from the ghosts. Dedemit is a thug of the genie nation, the genie is impudent. It's the same with depraved humans." Ze thought, if she could separate the UWe people with the tides of the spring and the track, there would be no more victims. Forty lives in two years is a very large number. "We catch the demon leader and throw him into space in an immortal balloon."
Hidr asked Ze to go to the area under Sendang Pokak and Mbah Ruwet's Track, of course hundreds of meters underground. It turned out to be a large and crowded village, there was even a market, just like a market in the human world. When someone offered Ze to taste some snacks, Hidr took her by the hand and never accepted. Hidr is looking for Mbah Ruwet. "That's Mbah Ruwet. I've met him several times."
"Coincidentally, Mr. Hidr came to this despicable man," said Mbah Ruwet. Hidr laughed and said, "We are both God's creatures." Mbah Ruwet looked at Ze carefully. Before the woman asked Hidr said, "Ze is a ghost charmer. We're here to get rid of the UWe people who have taken a heavy toll on the world above. They use the evil jinn to harm humans."
"Ever since those thugs conspired with the UWe, they were unmanageable. Ki Singodrono and I couldn't do much. In fact, with the help of the UWe they had rebelled. This village will also be captured. Behold, we have prepared to battle against them. The arrival of Mr. Hidr and the Ghost Handler is very profitable for us." Mbah Ruwet took them around the village and saw the preparations for war.
Mbah Ruwet said to Ze, "We are waiting spirits, waiting for the door to the grave to be opened. They are spirits who used to wander because suddenly separated from their bodies due to accidents or were killed. I myself had studied witchcraft and only converted when I was at the end of the age so that I too became a waiting spirit. In the past, I was alone until the confused spirits wandered around and I had to calm them down. This I consider me to wash away my past sins." Ze did not understand what Mbah Ruwet said.
Suddenly, a spirit figure came panting, it turned out to be a courier from Sendang Pokak who reported that the demons had surrounded Ki Singodrono's fort. "We're asking for help."
"The situation is changing very fast. We have to help Ki Singodrono," said Mbah Ruwet. If the fortress of Ki Singodrono can be captured by the UWe, the position of Mbah Ruwet and his friends will be very difficult. They will be enslaved by the demons and the UWe nation, the victims on the railroad tracks will be increasingly difficult to stop. Mbah Ruwet gave a signal for her men to rush towards the fortress of Ki Singodrono. Ze and Hidr are not left behind. That's right, the fort was surrounded and a battle ensued. The troops inside the fort were defeated by the onslaught of the demons and the UWe.
Apparently, the stooped and toothed UWe were also in the battle arena, taking part in attacking the fort. As soon as they sniffed Ze's whereabouts, they reported it to the other UWe. "That girl is worth more than a million Singodronos! This is a golden opportunity!" shouted UWe barb teeth. Hearing this announcement, the UWe changed their target, no longer aiming for the fort but charging towards Ze. Of course this really surprised Hidr and Mbah Ruwet. For the sake of seeing their allies divert their targets, the demons who had invaded the fort became discouraged. Ki Singodrono and his men did not waste this. The situation is starting to reverse, now it is the demons who are pressed. Ze is in grave danger. Hidr had to focus on Ze's safety, because there were so many UWe ganging up on the Ghost Keepers. "Mbah Ruwet helps Ki Singodrono, when it's finished, help us!" said Hidr.
Mbah Ruwet immediately attacked the demons who were increasingly confused. The UWe really don't care about the battle of the demits, they attack Ze. The Death Well Girl was like a lamp covered in moths. Fortunately, Ki Singodrono and Mbah Ruwet and their men were soon able to subdue the evil genie. Now they are taking part in attacking the UWe. The UWe people who surrounded Ze were attacked from outside by the troops of Ki Singodrono and Mbah Ruwet. But supernatural beings cannot die, they can only feel pain.
"I know the leader!" cried Ki Singodrono, "he wears a bull's horn!"
Hidr heard the words of the leadership of Sendang Pokak so he immediately looked for UWe with the horns of a bull. His face is very scary, the face of a wolf but wearing a bull's horn. Hidr became very worried because Ze was invisible to him. UWe nation very much. Actually what is the fate of Ze? Very critical, because the bull horned UWe was already pointing its horn at Ze and repeatedly butting its horn. If Ze could still survive it was because she was protected by the veil of light that enveloped her. But the shroud of light grew weaker as the attacks continued.
"Hold on Zee!" cried Hidr who was confused about how to help the Demon Tong Girl. That's when he saw Ze's body jump up, Hidr quickly formed a cloud carpet and followed her. Ze's body was carried away from the attacks of the monsters. Of course the UWe didn't want to lose their prey, they were after Hidr.
"We can trap them!" said Ki Singodrono, "let's go this way!" Hidr and Ze followed him. "Jump over the gaping hole in front of us!" They were already across the big hole. "Create a cloud to fool the UWe!" Hidr makes a cloud and closes the hole. Once the UWe invade, get trapped in the hole and sucked down.
"Not every time this hole appears," said Mbah Ruwet.
"What hole is this?" Ze asked, "what if they climb the cliff?"
Hidr said, "Calm down. This is the Demon-Sucking Hole. If they get into it then they can't come back anymore. Whether they will enter into what realm, we do not know. Unfortunately, it wasn't every time this Demon-Sucking Hole appeared. I've only seen it twice. I first saw it three thousand years ago." Ze was stunned to hear that. What about the demons who have been defeated? Instead of being taken prisoner, they flocked to catch up with the UWe by jumping into the Demon-Sucking Hole.
"Once a slave mentality, always a slave mentality," murmured Mbah Ruwet when she saw the genie thugs who plunged into the magic hole. "They don't believe in themselves unless they are ordered by the UWe."
Ze took a breath of relief. "Is this the end of this battle that there will be no more train casualties in Mbah Ruwet Track?" Ze asked.
"Accidents caused by demons may be reduced or non-existent," Hidr said.
"Try to keep the railroad track barred and guarded." Mbah Ruwet chimed in, "And so that my name will not be mentioned again as a bloodthirsty track-watching ghost. It wasn't my doing though." They separated. Ze returns to the human realm by riding the white cloud that Hidr created. When she was in the yard of her house, there were people surrounding the Blop. Her parents looked confused.
"What is it?" Ze asked.
Hajjah Bod exclaimed, "Here comes the girl! We thought you were kidnapped by Nordin M Top to become a terrorist!" Ze was hugged by her mother. But Ze was confused about how to ask The Railway Company to build a guardrail on Mbah Ruwet's track. It was homework for her, and it had to be done. (*)
