Chapter 4 - Looking for Clues

I went alone to check the snack wrapper that Agung had dropped. Passing through many trees in the dark of a very cold night.

I felt the air in the forest at night was very cold and stinging. "Hu...! Tonight is very cold, this is the first time I have experienced a night this cold."

As I was walking, suddenly I heard a rustling sound in one of the trees right in front of me.

"What sound is that?" I circled the entire area around me, but I didn't find any clues.

but after 15 seconds the sound appeared again and I heard it very clearly this time in my ears.

It seemed that the sound came from on the tree that was in front of there. Feeling something was wrong with the tree, I immediately approached it and checked.

With fairly slow steps, approach the tree, so you can reach the source of the sound you are looking for.

After being near the tree, I only found a tree that was blowing in the wind and tried to circle it, but all that was there was the trunk of the tree which he heard as a strange sound.

Hhhmm..... turns out it's just a small tree trunk.

"There doesn't seem to be anything here, I'd better continue on my way."

I continued my journey which had been delayed, because I heard strange noises just now.

I quickly turned to my original goal of checking the snack packs that could be a clue to getting out of this forest.

Currently the weather in the forest looks drizzly, even so I was able to reach that place.

Finally here! Now I have to quickly look for the last snack wrapper that Agung threw away.

I kept trying to look around where I was standing, to find the snack wrapper that Agung had thrown away earlier.

until I didn't realize that I was in a big tree where Angga and my other friends were taking shelter.

After 30 minutes I looked around where I was and didn't find anything there, suddenly I saw Agung moving from his current sitting position, then I saw a bunch of plastic scattered right where Agung was sitting.

Haaa... That's the one I was looking for, it turns out he's been keeping it under where he sits.

I managed to find what I was looking for for about 30 minutes. I paid attention to the direction of the path taken by the scattered snack packets one by one.

Found it, that's the one snack wrapper, luckily it's not far from the snack wrapper he previously threw away. Could this be a clue for me to get out of this forest?

I found the third one, which turned out to be quite far from the big tree occupied by Angga and my other friends.

lucky! It turns out the third snack pack is far from Angga and the others, so now I can get it.

I checked the snack wrapper, then immediately tried to find another snack wrapper. It seems that this snack wrapper has been washed away by the rainwater, at least I have to find another one to strengthen this clue I found?

I started trying again to find clues from other snack wrappers which might be located not far from the snack wrappers I found now.

My eyes don't stop to see everything around me

so as not to miss a single thing that is there. Because I didn't see anything I wanted to look for, I decided to look elsewhere.

Not long after walking quite a distance, I felt something strange, I felt I was being followed by something unusual. I also speeded up my walking steps a little.

His voice seemed to become clearer to my ears, then the sound suddenly changed to the sound of someone moaning in pain as if he was asking for help.

Along with the groaning sound, the air in this place turned very cold. Suddenly I was shocked by the change in the sound of the moaning which suddenly became a very loud scream which I was sure was a woman's voice.

I was curious about the sound, rushed towards the source of the sound.

I'm curious, who is the person who screams so loudly at night in the middle of a forest like this?

I approached the sound not without reason, it was because I remembered the friend I left alone in the hut, namely Felix, so I felt worried and decided to check the source of the sound.

After I arrived at the place where the sound came from, I was shocked by what I saw. I saw the figure of a woman who resembled Felix standing facing a very shady tree right in front of me, I tried to communicate with her but she didn't respond to me at all.

"Felix, what are you doing standing there alone?"

I said the same thing several times, but there was no response from him. Because there was no response at all, I decided to approach him. However, after I stood with my back to him, Felix suddenly turned his head 360% backwards without changing his body position.

so only his head turned towards me while his body was still facing away from me.

When I saw this, I was not afraid but felt very surprised and surprised by the shape of the figure, because this was the first time in my life seeing a ghost.

I believed that what was in front of me was a ghost who imitated Felix's physical form. It was impossible for Felix to walk from the hut which was located far from this place very quickly.

Surprisingly, the ghost suddenly spoke to me in a hoarse voice.

"Aren't you afraid to see me at all?"

"Why should I be afraid of you? After all, your form is similar to my friend."

I talked to the ghost in a fairly relaxed tone of voice, even though I saw a ghost with a scary shape.

"You are the first person who dares to look at me like this and you are also the first person to behave politely in this place!"

"Why can I be the first person, then what about the others before I came here?"

"The people who come here, all have evil intentions. They behaved rudely when they came to this place, because of that they all died as sacrifices or got lost and will never return from this place."

I became curious about the ghost's response to my friends who came to this forest, whether the ghost also hated it or liked it the same as my current situation.

"For my friends, what do you think?"

"I think they are all the same, none of them behave well towards this forest except you."

After he finished talking about this, the ghostly figure suddenly disappeared by flying through some trees next to him.
