They are living things that have lived together with humans for a long time in the deep forests. It is a hunter that not many people know about. Until I thought it didn't exist.

Prommit Village

Today is another day of my father's life journey to this village. Before taking the car to travel to Wai Fai Village It is a village that has mysterious stories worth discovering. Whether it was the matter of lighting up lights from the village pond in the "Fire Dance" ceremony, which was something that Dad was interested in. Today's journal is like a travel map in case one day your child I want to follow in my father's footsteps.

The child will come safely. It's like having a father sit and tell his child about his adventures. Because father knows that the child also likes it. The look in your child's eyes when his father tells him about his adventures tells him so. This year, my own age will not be young anymore...Sastra!!

Forgot to tell you. Dad found news from the newspaper in town about the discovery of a fossil site. It's a dinosaur tooth in Kalasin. It's very exciting. Do you remember the stories your father used to tell you? It's about an adventure where a father gets lost in a dimension and encounters a strange city where people live with dinosaurs. That time, Dad almost didn't survive. I'm not bragging. You'll get bored soon! Continue with the story. This friendly village

When we arrived, we said the weather was good. Covered with mountains and forests Fortunately, before coming here My father's friend has relatives in this village so he recommended me to stay. He is the headman of this place and he is a very kind person. His father's friend left something to come visit in lieu of accommodation fees! After packing up his things, following his father's habit, he immediately went out to explore.

The village headman said that on the hill behind the house there was an abandoned temple from the ancient era of the village because it had been ruled by the ancient Khmer Empire before. Interesting, right?

“If you hear strange cries, don't go look, run away quickly, don't pay attention! Or not at all,” the village headman warned before his father left the house.

“Why, what is that sound?” Father looked into his eyes suspiciously.

“It is an ancient animal. In the deep forest near the village Some say it comes from the sky. Most importantly, it eats ferocious people.”

“Let's say that if you go You don't have to mess with it.”

After hearing the warning Dad found it even more interesting. It might be an ancient species. So he hurried out to explore. It was around 3:00 p.m. Dad went with his trusty rucksack and walked towards the hill. Beyond the mystery The forest here is still very rich. There are many rare birds flying around. Dad stopped to look at their behavior with a telescope.

before remembering to hurry and put his things in his backpack to continue walking The weather right now is afternoon but not hot. Maybe because the dense, tall trees stood so the sunlight couldn't reach the ground below. This makes the soil quite soft and moist. The sounds of insects in the forest were loud throughout, like we had company for about 45 minutes.

There will be a path created by the way that wild animals walk, leading up to a low hill. Above is an abandoned temple. It's beautiful, but Art is more unusual than ever. I think it probably isn't directly from ancient Khmer. I know that even though my father's Asian archeology subject received only a 'pass' grade, I am sure that what he thought was not wrong!

“Help!!” A woman's voice sounded from inside the abandoned temple.

" stop! "Yom," Luangta grabbed Father's shoulder. while moving forward following the sound

“Hello, Luangta.” Father raised his hand in greeting. With shock and half surprise

“Oh, don't follow that voice. They are not people. I have come to pilgrimage around here many nights,” the old monk explained briefly.

“Luangta, come quietly, I'm having a heart attack like this.” Father raised his hand to wipe away the sweat that was dripping from his face.

“What are you doing around here? It's dangerous. The villagers haven't even walked all the way here yet. ” His voice asked, shaking with age.

“ My name is Decha and I am a biologist. Just passed by and connected with a car at this village. Tonight, I'm staying here and I have free time, so I'm going to walk around and explore." Father smiled at Luangta.

“Father, I have been searching for a long time.” Another young monk Slim walked towards me.

“I talk with Yomdecha. When finished, I plan to walk back to the palace.” Luangta looked at the young monk's face. Ready to walk the alley with short feet frequently

“Luang Ta, are you sick?” Father looked at Luang Ta's condition. It was assessed that he probably had "Parkinson's disease" which is related to abnormal functioning of the brain and nervous system. Often found in elderly people Initial symptoms that are not yet severe include speaking slowly, thinking for a long time, shaking, walking frequently.

“Yes, Khun Yom, I have Parkinson's and am being treated. When I took the medicine, my symptoms improved. When the effect of the medicine wore off, the symptoms disappeared. Those who came to the pilgrimage were worried about the monks. His son was ordained at the same time, so he came as well.” Luangta walked back to the monk and was waiting to support him. Before walking away

After a simple dinner Dad carried his backpack and sneaked out to investigate again. Dad wants to know who the owner of the mysterious voice is? According to the nature of scientists, "find evidence and reason that can be proven." Father said there must be something more to the abandoned temple. Around 8 p.m. Father hurriedly walked out of the elder's house again.

Shine lights along the walking path in the afternoon. Soon they stopped in front of an abandoned temple. For Father, a 'ghost' is a form of energy. They are not afraid, but they are not disrespectful. The air on the hill was very cold. There was light from the torches in the abandoned temple. Or were two monks moving in and setting up a place in an abandoned temple? Father thought, as fast as he could think, he turned off his flashlight and walked slowly closer to the abandoned temple, peeking into the corner of the stone pillar to observe. The lights flicker back and forth. Reflecting mysterious figures of people as if they were digging for something.

“Kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk The light from the torch was bright enough to reveal an eerie image. The figure was covered in a dirty robe. Standing and floating on the ground, not very high. The neck is distorted and folded to the side. Eyes wide and white staring at father Wide torn lips smeared with black blood

There was a sound of sharp teeth grinding, "Kunk...Kunk" all the time.

“Help!!” The cry sounded again. This time it was a man's voice. Dad turned and looked around. Found that the mysterious shadow had disappeared. The floating Buddha statue also disappeared. Father hurriedly came out from his hiding place, dug out the pistol in his pocket and put it in the gun's chamber. He slowly walked towards the abandoned temple. Dim light from a torch Enough to see the internal condition dimly

The stone carvings are likely to be art before the time of the ancient Khmer Empire. Some pictures tell the story. Those who come from the skies outside our solar system. It gave birth to an animal with strange characteristics. Its head had large, bulging eyes on the sides of its head. It had spider-like legs but were like dry branches, and it had long, sharp teeth that filled its wide mouth.

“It shows that these animals that the villagers talk about Probably came from extraterrestrials. Not of our world, um! Interesting, but where are they?” Dad thought.

“Kukkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk” Father turned his gun and fired bullets at it without stopping in shock. Until the body that was floating nearby fell to the ground. Dad immediately opened the flashlight to take a look. The corpse's condition was that of a thin human being. His neck was slanted and folded in the wrong shape, his eyes wide and white and clouded with blood. His mouth was torn almost to his ears.

There was a mouth full of sharp teeth. It was the young monk I met today. What happened? Dad was completely confused. It means that the other picture I saw earlier was probably Luangta's body....Oh! Not at all.

The young monk's body in the form of an alien animal rose and floated to the ground again. It leapt towards Father. Dad flipped over to avoid being hit by another creature floating behind him unexpectedly. A strange figure clung to Father's shoulder. Tries to bend the abnormally folded neck to bite the nape.

At that moment, Father reached for a pocket knife that was attached to a spring and stabbed backwards into the whites of its eyes. The body that was clinging to it immediately fell down. The skinny monk leapt towards his father again. Dad grabbed the pistol that had fallen next to him. Shoot but the bullets run out, leaving an empty gun holster!!

“Bang..!” The mysterious sound of a gun sent a bullet through his head that shattered his brain and fell to the ground. Father looked at the light shining in from the front of the temple. There were dozens of people holding flashlights rushing in.

" How are you I told you not to come, but you didn't believe me.” The village chief rushed over and pulled Father's hand from where he was lying down.

“I'm sorry, old man.” Father apologized for his recklessness and recklessness.

“Never mind, it's good to be safe. Here, if you will Don't follow you into your room. I don't know what you'll be like.”

“And what should I do with those two monks? Both of them are dead.” Father looked at the corpses on the ground next to him.

“It's not a monk. There were villagers who reported that There was a thief dressed as a monk who secretly came to dig up treasure near the village. We secretly spied for several days before realizing that they were here. But they don't know that this place is very scary. While the villagers still didn't dare come up, we had to come together.”

“Another matter. And what are the people I encountered?”

“Like I told you. It is an ancient animal. I live here, not sure if it's at the old well behind the abandoned temple or not. Let's hurry back. Before they flock to eat us We won't be able to fight.”

After that night Father talked with the village headman until almost dawn and learned that the 'hidden corpse' was a mysterious animal. Its appearance was as Father understood, with an ugly head and spider-like legs that resembled dry branches. It will eat living things and inhabit that body to lay eggs. They lived in such a large place that a father and son disguised as monks would probably be eaten by them.

Adults emphasize that if you find any remains, you should set them on fire. Otherwise, it will recover like Dad did. Importantly, the hidden body moves shaky and jerky slowly, similar to a person with Parkinson's disease. and uses the sound of the body it catches to lure prey into food and laying eggs The cycle of life is interesting, but Dad doesn't have time. When I return from Wai Fai, I will stop by to study and collect biopsy samples for further study.

From this event Father is of the opinion that 'Humans' and 'Hidden Ruins' are living things that should be able to depend on each other. If there is no aggression against each other, it is peaceful. This village, just passing through, is still thrilling. Father said at Wai Fai Village There must be something exciting waiting for Dad.
