The Forest Behind the House
18. Wooden case

"Aggghhh." Sacred was shocked while covering her face.

A disintegrated face without skin was behind the Sacred. Sacred was shocked not dumbstruck when he saw that shattered face. A very horrible face. Makes the Sacred heart almost fall off looking at it.

Saints are already familiar with supernatural things like invisible creatures. There are those who appear with a perfect form aka beautiful, there are also those who deliberately show their form with a bad face alias very creepy.

Saints are not afraid of this skinless crushed face. Merely, he was shocked when he suddenly saw that shattered face.

"Take that box out of this room if you want to know what your mother's keeping secret."

A voice that was different from the voice that belonged to the crushed face touched the Holy ear. The saint who had closed his face in shock, immediately opened his eyes to see who was talking to him just now.

The Holy Armpit opened his eyes, not a single creature he saw. The room was empty again. He was alone in this room. Neither the face was destroyed, nor the woman who had the voice telling her to bring the wooden box.

Sacred Eyes wildly tracing every corner of the mother's room. How to know he can find other creatures besides himself in the mother's room. Unfortunately, there was no one but him. He stays alone in this room. Just like before, when he first entered the mother's room.

"Holy Speed. Take the box away if you want to know what your mother's keeping secret." The voice came back again. However, the form of the owner of the voice still could not be seen.

"Who are you?" holy Tanya was curious.

"You don't need to know who I am. Just take the box as soon as possible. Then you'll know what your mother's hiding."

The saint did not repeat the question. He immediately did what the voice said. Because actually, he was very curious to know what exactly mother kept secret all this time.

The saint brought the box to his room. Slowly, Suci opened the wooden box with a pounding heart.

When the box opens, all that is seen in the box is an old book. Saints did not feel that there was anything strange about this old book. The book is like a general book. It's just, it looks so shabby and so bad.

The saint took it and opened the old book. A light appeared when Saints opened the old book. The light seemed to attract the Saints to go inside. The Saints could not help it. He could only close his eyes tightly without a word he could say.

Moments later, Suci heard a familiar voice in her ear. Saints opened their eyes slowly to see what was happening. In front of him was currently sitting the mother with an old man.

Sacred looked around and realized one thing, she was currently not in her room. All he saw now was a wooden wall, not a stone. Saints could deduce one thing, right now, he was in a different realm.

Saints did not pay attention to where he was now when he heard what the mother and the man were talking about. They talk about wealth, success, power, and growth. The thing that attracted the Saints the most was the time when they mentioned about the collision to reach for everything they wanted.

"Sarah, if you want all these pleasures, you must get the most sacred tumbala" said the old man.

"I mean teacher? What is the most sacred thing?"

"How can I get it, teacher?"

"It's easy. Don't you have a daughter?"

"I mean teacher?" sarah was really confused.

"The boy's fisherman is approaching your daughter. Tell your daughter to find out if the boy has a birthmark or not."

"When I see you, what should I do, teacher?"

"Wait for the full moon."

"Then? What are we gonna do about that teacher?"

"We kill him, then take his blood. The blood will be handed over to the forest genie."

"Alright teacher, I'll find the crash as soon as possible."

The saint seemed to be pulled back as quickly as possible after he listened to the last words of the mother. Without being able to touch, or say anything, Saints gaped in shock.

"You already know, don't you? What your mother really wants" said a voice that felt Holy had heard before.

The saint awoke from his daydream. He looks around. Look for the origin of the voice that continues to speak but does not show the appearance.

"Who are you really! Let's show you! Don't keep hiding from me" said Suci as he continued to search for the whereabouts of the voice.

"It's not time you knew who I was, Saints."

"Why? Why isn't it time yet?" holy Tanya was upset.

"You don't need to know why. Obviously, someday, you'll know who I am."

"I don't want one day, I want it now."

There was no answer to that voice. There is only silence. The saint searched all sides of his room. There's no one. The saint also called out that voice many times, still no answer. The voice had already left the Holy room.
