Chapter 26 - when the night falls

The hand almost dragged the officer into the bush. At this movement a spark appeared, and the hand started burning and it let go of the officer and he flanged into nearby bushes and fainted. All other officers are approached that officer. Subhamoy ordered "everyone move away from the place". All of them moved away from the place and dragged the unconscienced constable by leg.as they are looking consciously from the other end of the bush an agonizing unearthly scream resounded throughout the village. Everyone shuttered like they are petrified in fear no exception for onsite officers. Subhamoy also trying to move but to avail in this movement a blackish looking creature extended two hands from the bushes to grab nearby constables but again the hands started to burn the creature is screaming but still trying to lunge with all his might almost reaching the constable. Everyone at the scene trying to move at best of there might but unable to just watched in horror as those burning hand gets closer inch by inch. When hands almost reached the constable and all almost lost hope and started to pray to their gods to save them. A crow landed on the shoulder of Subhamoy and let out a scream instantly all the officers freed from the trance, and some ran others rolled over on the ground from the Inasia and muscle soreness but each one of them gotten away from the danger. The constable who was about to be grabbed crawled on the floor to get away. When they looked back the creature was still trying to get in and screaming but no sound could be heard. After Brojomurti was freed from the trance he rushed to Subhamoy's location. When he reached the location and saw the creature, he couldn't fantom what he was seeing and any knowledge he had applied previously didn't match up. After thinking for some time, he doesn't get to any conclusion and approaches Subhamoy. He placed a hand on Subhamoy's shoulder and inquires "what's going on what is this thing?" "i don't know buddy i don't know what's going on, but one thing is clear if we step out of the village we will die, but how do we explain this to HQ we don't even know what is even is this". Brojomurti lost in thought and asked, "are all our men safe?". Subhamoy instantly remembered and replied "no one constable is mostly dead he gone out of the village. We are also going to follow him a voice stopped us, but we didn't find the owner of the voice". Brojomurti then fell silent and looked around and contemplated that thing did attack the village last night with no hindrance but today it can't able to enter in village that means someone is protecting the villagers and them, that person also warned them so he or she don't have an ill intension towards them and knows a lot about the situation. He looked at the sky and shouted " sir i dont who you are but i want to thank you for saving all of us." no reply came and every officer is looking at Brojomurti and trying to understand what is happening in this movement Brojomurti shouted again "sir we don't know what we are dealing with we can't asked for help in such a short time for an un justified reason, so can i have an audience with you?". Again silence when Brojomurti just thought it didn't work an crow enveloped with lilac violet radiance flew and sat in Brojomurti"s shoulder in blink of an eye and started to speck "ok you have the brain to survive in the situation so you can help me , say what you wants to know?". Everyone including Brojomurti is stunned and speechless for a second when a talking crow saves them? The voice bloomed again "why are you silent is how i look really matters in this situation?". Brojomurti indirectly replied "no sir we are sorry we are too stunted to see a crow speak". The crow again specks "no matters what important the situation is and how to resolve it. At first i thought its work of a pisah group but it's much more sinister i won't be able to kill it without any extra help you people have to stay alert for tonight it will try to lur you out of the village at any cost if any one sees any women calling them or here's any voice asking for protection from outside of the village don't go or else they will die". Brojomurti nodded and continued "ok sir but what is that thing?". The crow hung his head low as if in a deep thought then replied "its summoned being some one deliberately summoned it and drew a death ark in the whole village so that it can complete its reanimation to this world. In simple words it's a hired gun from different plan of existence, don't worry i will deal with it tomorrow night and don't transfer any villager's or police force anywhere else all of you have been marked if you people move it will follow and I can't protect everyone individually". Brojomurti nodded and asked, "what kind of help we can provide to sir?". Crow laughed and continued "tomorrow morning come to Kali mandir and bring a map of the village i will mark some locations you people will go there and collect some specific things and take care of my crows they are the ones who are protecting you people fed them with boneless fish and rice without salt and get some sleep tomorrow will be hectic, I will protect you only if you listen to my advice." then flew off and disappeared. After they are left alone Subhamoy questioned Brojomurti "are we really Gona listens to that being?". Brojomurti replied "i think we should because he doesn't have any ill intention to words us and he protected all our lives plus how you plan to explain this to HQ, even if we explain this to HQ in somehow and they send forces we will be discharged so if what he says is right we will die. But if we listen to his orders, we might be alive, and my gut chooses to listen to this person". After hearing this Subhamoy can't decide and replied, "let's wait till tomorrow we will decide tomorrow". Then nodded and retreated from the scene unaware that the crow was still watching their every move. In Rohit's house he is sitting in a meditative pose. After some time he opens his eyes and shied he don't want the officers to know his real identity. If the main officer didn't listen to his advice saving them will become too difficult for him.
