Vicious Circle (English Version)

Sometimes excessive curiosity will lead you to something terrible. There are things on this earth that if you don't know, it would be better for you. You just need to ignore it, even when you can't trust everyone around you. The thing that Gloria regrets most is the moment when her curiosity uncovered something that even she herself had difficulty facing. Events are like puzzle pieces that always arrive like a mystery that must be solved with his twin brother Giovani. Terror where people are continuously killed for no apparent reason and the killer is still roaming around viciously. Every night, maybe you are the next victim. Remember, never trust anyone! "I should have never done this." "Too late to regret, let's play." "Don't be afraid Glo! I'm here!" "Don't run, wherever you go I will find you!" "Gio, there's something under my bed."

Whitney House Tour

After an incident that quite aroused Giovani's emotions, they continued their journey to Whitney's house. Gloria and Giovani just stayed silent in the car, Giovani to be precise while Gloria started babbling incoherently. He started babbling that there would definitely be many sightings of strange figures, whether it be headless ghosts or vampires who would suck their blood the first time they met.

"Hey Gio, will there be a mummy there?" Gloria asked.

Giovani didn't answer, he still remembered the incident where Gloria jumped to block a truck with her body.

"Hey, don't ignore me!" said Gloria again.

"Shut up and sit still or I'll drop you off here!" Giovani replied making Gloria frown in annoyance.

Do you know? There is a point where humans are between the phases of life and death. The moment when all the cells in your body seem to be paralyzed and your brain stops functioning. That is the most vulnerable moment, because your brain will not send a danger radar when something threatens your safety. If you think about it, 'sleeping' does sound dangerous when described in that way. How could it not be, when you close your eyes and enter the world of dreams, something could be trying to enter your house. That doesn't mean you have to stay up all night, but if you have superpowers that can create a shield when you sleep, you're safe.

Likewise, Gloria always thought it would be better if she was born with a super skill, like stopping time or flying. He even tried to get himself bitten by a spider, and tried to expose his body to gamma, alpha, beta, delta rays, or whatever. What is clear is that it all failed, of course! How could flashlight light be called gamma rays? On average, he did all these experiments when he was little, although recently he tried to assemble a robot so it could be like Iron Man by taking apart Giovani's action figure. Among all the silliness, that's roughly the word Giovani uses to describe Gloria's stupidity, the thing Gloria wants most is to have the ability to see ghosts. In her entire life, Gloria had never seen a creature called a ghost. So why does Gloria believe that ghosts exist?

When she was little, Hillary once said that naughty children would be kidnapped by ghosts. At first he didn't believe it, until finally he asked Christ. Christ said, "Ghosts exist because of belief, some people believe in mystical things around them. And, some believe it's just a myth."

"Does daddy believe it?" asked little Gloria.

"Yes."

"Why?!" Gloria asked.

"Because I've seen it Glo, God created humans and invisible creatures to live side by side. They are real," replied Christ.

"What ghost did daddy ever see?" Gloria asked.

"Um, maybe a faceless ghost under your bed. Right Gio?" said Christ to which Gio shrugged his shoulders, don't ask about Gloria's face. The little girl had a pale, frightened face.

"HAHAHAHAHA."

Christ laughed loudly seeing the look on Gloria's face.

"Daddy that's not funny!"

"Sorry, sorry. You're too serious," replied Christ.

Gloria snorted and looked away, "My face is not a joke."

Gloria left Christ and Giovani in the living room to go to her room. Forgetting the fear he felt. And Christ knew that his daughter was in a state of depression. Since then, Gloria has believed in the existence of ghosts, coupled with the books and novels she reads. Everything indicates that ghosts exist. One sentence he believes to this day is, 'You may not see them, but they are really hiding in places where you feel safe.'

"You can really see ghosts?" Giovani asked when Gloria completely disappeared behind the dark purple door.

"No, I'm just retelling what I heard-

The door to the twins Gio and Glo's room opened slowly, revealing the figure of Gloria with a different aura. Carrying a rabbit doll that looked worn out, fingers that had turned into claws, eyes that were white and staring flat, and a smile with long fangs on both sides of his mouth. Gloria is being possessed!

-from you."

After a long time they finally arrived at Whitney's house. The meaning of the long word in question is the incident where Gloria tried to stop a truck, for save a person who was almost hit by a truck. They arrived at a fairly house. The house looks scary when seen from the outside. However, when you enter you will be treated to a room decorated with classic western noble style. So, what amazed Gloria were the various statues and urns that decorated the house.

"Oh hi, are you guys visiting? I heard from my mother that a group of high school students attacked this house," said Whitney approaching the living room where everyone was gathered.

"What is she talking about?" asked Bowie beside Owen.

"She said it was nice of you to visit," Owen replied.

"Your house is very antique, madam," said Matt.

"Oh, I'm sorry, you guys must be uncomfortable in this cramped room."

"You're kidding, I think your house is amazing! Gio, look at that urn. Hey Whitney, does it have a ghost in it?!" said Gloria enthusiastically.

"Ghost?" asked a voice behind them, it was Whitney's mother.

A woman approached them with a tray containing a pot of tea and cookies in it. "Who said ghost?"

"Who is she?" Jane said to Whitney.

"Guys! This is my mother, Clara."

"You look younger than I imagined," Matt added.

"I'm almost half a century old," replied Clara.

"Oh, my turn! You're a ghost hunter?!" Gloria asked.

"Glo, you're rude! I'm sorry, my sister, Mrs. White," said Giovani.

"No problem, yes I'm a ghost hunter," replied Clara.

"Wow, have you ever seen a ghost?!" Owen asked.

"Of course."

"How does it look like?" This time it was David who asked.

"There are various types, they have their own forms. According to the sins they hold," replied Clara.

"Aren't you afraid, when you look them it might be your last moments," said Jane.

"I'm not afraid, as long as there is God. So I take refuge under His word, and God never dies," replied Clara.

"Wow, do you keep the ghosts you catch in jars?" asked Bowie.

"I kept some in a container, not necessarily a jar. Some made it to eternal rest," said Clara.

"Can I see those things?!" said Gloria.

"You dare?" Clara asked.

"That's what she came here for," said Giovani.

"Oh, you like things like this?"

"Yes, although I never saw them," replied Gloria

Clara narrowed her eyes at Gloria, she wasn't lying. "Really? That's impossible, seeing the aura of you and your brother-"

"Sorry to interrupt Mrs. White, but can we start this 'House Tour'? You know, I'm really curious now that I can eat two portions of the monster burger from the RFC shop," said Matt, interrupting Clara. Luckily, now Giovani can breathe a sigh of relief.

"Okay, kids, this way, make yourselves comfortable," said Clara, leading the way.

"You too Whitney, don't go back to your bed before your friends come home."

"Oh, mother, but I'm sick," said Whitney, which Clara ignored. As a result, Whitney followed them from behind.

They arrived at a big door, with iron bars protecting the door. Clara appears to be entering her password and fingerprint, don't forget the face detection she did after the 'Beep' sound came out. The room was really guarded by Clara, so even flies wouldn't dare enter. Inside there are various objects, and each object has a special glass to store it. The first thing Gloria saw was a doll shaped like a human. The doll's clothes were like a princess, with a pink dress and lace all over it. It was great! Gloria has never been this amazed, think she is exaggerating but you will never know what Gloria felt when she saw the doll smiling and blinking at her. Very good, she will tell Hillary about his visit today. About a cute, adorable doll and-WAIT!

"GIO! Did you see that doll smiling at me! She even blinked!" said Gloria, grabbing Giovani by the collar of his uniform. She even shouted and caused them to become the center of attention.

"Hey, calm down, Glo, calm down. What's wrong?!" asked Giovani.

"The doll smiled at me, she even blinked," said Gloria, pointing to a doll with a flat face in a tightly locked glass cupboard.

Giovani sighed, "You just saw wrong, okay?"

"But-"

"Mrs. White, let's continue."

"Gio, don't you believe me?!"

"Yes! Now let's continue, or we can go home and you'll never know anything other than the doll here," replied Giovani.

"What! Hey, why are you so threatening!"

"Guys, don't fight," said Jane interveningly.

"Yeah, stop that, or the ghosts here will come out and put you both in the urn," said Owen.

Giovani glanced at Gloria who was silent, "Okay Mrs. White, continue."

Clara nodded and continued the program that had been postponed just now. Clara actually knew that Gloria couldn't have seen it wrong. Clara was sure the doll was really smiling. But he didn't bother, and went back to explaining the objects in the room. Too much stuff there, not even enough to explain it for days.

"What's this?!" David asked an object in the glass. The object was shaped like a crown, but David didn't know how to wear it.

"That's a crown, Whitney's father's invention," replied Clara.

"That's right, where is Whitney's father now? We haven't seen him before," asked Matt.

"He's in a sand dune now," said Whitney casually.

"Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't know that-"

"Egypt."

"What?!"

"My dad is in Egypt, he's an archaeologist," Whitney replied, making Matt look annoyed. How Whitney could talk was so unclear. It wasn't Matt's fault if he misunderstood.

"Whitney's father got the crown from an excavation in Egypt. He said it belonged to Princess Asenath, the Egyptian Pharaoh's most beloved concubine at that time. However, because Princess Asenath was carrying out a satanic worship ritual, she was arrested while trying to absorb the power given by the devil at that time. Pharaoh forced to punish and mummify Princess Asenath alive. It is said that she was not dead, before running out of breath she managed to give her soul to Satan. She will rise again when she finds a suitable new container. Therefore, this crown is said to carry the curse of Princess Asenath in it because this is the last crown she wore when she was mummified. People affected by the curse will die horribly," said Clara, heard by everyone tensely. Even David was holding back a shudder now. And Bowie felt he needed to go to the toilet.

"Are you okay while keeping this thing?" Jane asked.

"No. I have to do many things to ward off the evil atmosphere that this thing emits and that happens every day," replied Clara.

"It looks like a regular old crown," Owen said.

"Hey, shut your mouth, or she will kill you," said Whitney.

"Who?" Owen asked.

"Asenath," Giovani replied flatly, making Owen silent.

"Why does she perform satanic rituals?" asked Bowie.

"For eternity."

They were all silent, lost in their own thoughts. And let's see if some of them will find it difficult to close their eyes at night.

"Okay, visiting time is over, it's time to go home," said Whitney.

"Oh, come on, this is too short," said Owen.

"I can't, my mother has to go to work."

Finally, with heavy hearts, they all went home. Even though they had to insist with Whitney first, they still went home after Clara allowed them to come again another time.

'Gloria'

'Gloria'

'Gloria'

Gloria stopped her footsteps, did she hear wrong? It was as if someone was calling him, but she couldn't find his form. She tried to turn around to look for the source of the sound, his friends had already left the room. There, she saw a beautiful woman smiling at him. Gloria approached when she saw the woman waving at her. Almost there, but Giovani grabbed his hand.

"Glo, what's wrong?! What are you doing?" asked Giovani who came alone with Clara. From a distance they saw Gloria trying to open the glass cupboard that held Asenath's crown.

Gloria woke up and the woman disappeared, replaced by Princess Asenath's crown, which was shiny different from before.

"Forget it, let's go," said Giovani, pulling Gloria before she said anything.

Clara looked at the crown then followed the children outside. If Clara wasn't mistaken, she felt the aura of the crown stronger than before. Giovani didn't say anything when he left the room. He immediately pulled Gloria, who looked dazed, into the car and went home. Leaving their friends staring in surprise. Bastard! Giovani saw it! It's Asenath! With a terrifying form, it was as if just one pair of eyes could pull out your bones. And Asenath, smiled at him.
