Fani's Leap of Faith and a Bloody Encounter

Fani flew towards Lombok Island, next to Bali. She was determined to prove whether her powers would work outside the island, as this decision would determine if she could leave the island or not.

"I'll try going to Mataram... I hope I don't fall into the sea, I can't swim," Fani muttered to herself.

Though reckless, she felt nervous because it was her first time flying a long distance and heading to another place. Moreover, if her powers didn't work, she would automatically fall into the sea and there would be no way to survive, so for Fani, this was her first and last attempt. After flying for 15 minutes, Fani could already see the border of Bali Island. She immediately sped up her flight to overcome the fear that was starting to creep into her heart.

Fani reached the coast. She took a deep breath and closed her eyes while increasing her flying speed. A minute passed, five minutes passed, fifteen minutes passed. Fani slowly dared to open one eye. She saw herself already above the ocean. She opened both eyes. Her heart felt like it was truly about to burst when she saw herself hovering above the water. Slowly, she turned to look behind her.

"It's already far, I'm really in the middle of the sea... I can't celebrate yet, can I?... keep going," Fani said, trying to strengthen herself because she was still half-believing the results.

Another fifteen minutes passed, and the coastline of Mataram began to appear. Impatient, she accelerated her flight again to arrive quickly. Her heart was truly pounding, almost painfully. Finally, Fani flew over the city of Mataram. She immediately headed to the largest mall in the city center. Upon arrival, she immediately landed on its roof and sat on the floor, panting.

"Crazy, it worked, hehe... it worked... I can celebrate now, right, hehehehehe," Fani said.

She took a deep breath and exhaled multiple times while sitting on the roof. After resting, she stood up. Then she walked to the edge of the roof and looked down. It turned out she was on a fairly high roof. Fani raised both her hands and started jumping with joy, a wide smile on her happy face with sparkling eyes. But suddenly she remembered something.

"Hmm, just a little test,"

"Plop," Fani detached her head, which immediately floated in the air. Then she spun around on the roof.

"Hehehehe, it worked... it worked... I can use my power outside the island... I'm going to collegeeeee!" Fani exclaimed excitedly.

She immediately returned to her body, but she instantly felt weak. It turned out that the flight had truly drained her energy. Her skin, which was originally light yellow, turned pale again, and her black eyes turned red. Fani sat leaning against the wall at the edge of the roof. She began to think about how she would go home or where she could get blood to replenish her energy. Initially, she stopped at the mall because she wanted to walk around downstairs, but now she couldn't because she looked like a zombie.

"Ugh, what now? Let me check my smartphone, where can I get blood here? Can I go to a hospital?" Fani asked.

Her hand reached for her smartphone from her pocket, and she began searching for hospitals near the mall where she was currently located. While her head was spinning trying to find a way out, "Tratat." The sound of machine gun fire was heard below, and "Kyaaaaa!" screams erupted downstairs. Fani stood up and peeked down. She saw three minibuses stop, and from each car, five masked men emerged, carrying weapons, then immediately ran into the mall.

"Wow... criminals? Hmm, it's okay to use their blood, right?" Fani thought to herself.

She continued to look down. A moment later, "Bang!" The rooftop door was flung open. A man with a cloth mask passed through the open door, pointing a rifle in all directions, looking for anyone on the roof. The man saw Fani perched on the edge of the roof.

"Hey!" the man called out.

Fani turned and spun around, then she walked towards the man who was pointing a rifle at her.

"Why is a high school student here? What are you doing here?" the man asked.

Fani didn't answer. She smiled and slowly walked towards the man. Of course, the man who saw Fani became a little scared. He backed away.

"Hey, answer me!" the man replied, backing away.

"Blehh..." Fani opened her mouth, her long tongue extending out, making the man even more terrified. And "Drat... drat... drat... drat," he immediately shot Fani with his rifle. As if there was a shield in front of her, all the bullets fired seemed to stop in front of Fani, and "Crackle!" they all fell to the floor.

"Hiiiii... ghost!" the man shrieked, turning and running.

But as he ran, suddenly his shoulder felt heavy. The man turned, and Fani's head was already attached to his shoulder.

"Waaaaaa ghost!" the man shrieked.

"Wrong... not a ghost... but a corpse, hehehehe... glug," Fani replied with a terrifying voice.

The man's neck was bitten and drained by Fani until all his blood was gone. Immediately, the man fell, his body withered. Fani's head returned to her body.

"Ugh, this guy hasn't showered in how many days... so gross... okay, so there are three cars, and one car has five people, so the total is fifteen, and now only fourteen, hehe, I'm full," Fani muttered to herself.

Without further delay, Fani walked down the stairs to survey the conditions inside the mall. When she reached the bottom, she saw about four people on the ground floor pointing weapons at mall employees, shopkeepers, visitors, and security guards whom they had gathered on the ground floor. While engrossed in looking down, suddenly her shoulder was touched by someone.

"Hey... what are you doing here?" a man behind her admonished.

"Looking for a meal... hehehe," Fani replied, her head spinning 180 degrees to look at the man's face.

"Waaaaa gho..." Before the man could finish speaking, his shoulder was bitten and drained by Fani, but his rifle fired at the ceiling, attracting everyone inside to turn to where Fani was. After finishing draining, with blood splattered around her mouth, Fani finally floated and jumped directly to the ground floor. She landed lightly in front of the people.

"Who are you...?" a masked man yelled, pointing a weapon.

"Corpse..." Fani replied.

"Damn it!... Dieeee!"

All the criminals immediately gathered and shot at Fani. Of course, Fani's head immediately detached, and her body twitched as if being shot. Fani's head above emitted many red rays from her mouth like ribbons entering the crowns of the masked men's heads. Of course, the men immediately dropped their rifles and screamed in pain. The reason was that Fani was sucking all their blood until they were dry. After the men collapsed and none were left, Fani's head reattached to her body.

She turned and saw the hostages looking at her with terrified faces, some of them already unconscious.

"You are safe now, I'll be going now..." Fani said casually in a terrifying voice.

Immediately, Fani floated up and darted out of the mall. Then she flew straight back to Bali to go home. While flying over the sea, she took out her smartphone and entered her game. Then she immediately wrote a message to Diaz and Amanda.

"Hey, I'm also going to college in Jakarta, which university are you guys going to, I'll just follow..." Fani said.

"Wow, great! Seriously?" Diaz said.

"Yes, of course... we'll meet up later, okay?" Fani replied.

"Alright, more occupants for my dorm, awesome!" Amanda replied.

After that, news spread on social media that there was a ghost or undead person who helped hostages in a mall and killed criminals, complete with a video recorded by one of the hostages inside the mall. Netizens nicknamed Fani The Undead.
