2022-02-02 00:01:39Detective Su saw Ryan's slouching figure from afar. His face is pale, and the bead of sweat covers his forehead. His unhealthy complexion compelled the other man to approach him.
Yohan brought his chief's belonging to his office. He leaves them alone, in some corner.
Ryan strode to the hallway, filled with a row of empty benches. He slumped his back onto a chair, leaning his body against the wall. Exhaustion is evident on his face, and his dull emerald eyes scanned his surrounding before they laid on Detective Su's. His lips arched into a smile, laced with bitterness and despair.
"Hyung-nim..." He said in an aggravated tone.
"You're pale. What happens? Did you find nothing inside that jerk's house?" Detective Su crouched in front of Ryan. He lowered his body so he could make eye contact with him. "Or, is this about the finding of the newest victim?"
Ryan squeezed his eyes shut. He disregarded his senior's inquiry. Right now, his head is hurt.

[A/N: Beware. Read at your own risk. Tee hee, I already informed you guys.] The moon shone with pride. Stars surrounding the moon are glittering brightly with their light. The dead leaves rustled above the ground as they got blown away by the windy breeze. Total darkness is everywhere, spread vastly as far as the eyes could see. There are multiple tints of red glow shimmering in the boundless sky. The glows resembled the falling of meteorites that dropped down on the earth like a rain shower. The sight is beautiful to behold, especially for those stargazing fanatics. However, did you honestly think this rare occurrence was beautiful? You're bound to regret your choice of word. Because, on this supposedly beautiful night, something bizarre is bound to happen. The sinister ambiance and the spine-chilling tranquility of the deserted park are unlocking its own horror story. -------- On this chilly, eerily silent night, somethin

Her eyelids slightly quivered before they fluttered open. A dimly lit room, with a cramp and humid space, greeted her the moment she opened her heavy eyelids. It took a while for her eyes to accustom themselves to the darkness.She blinked her eyes in confusion. Where is this? This room seemed unfamiliar to her. The strong incense smell permeating the air, with a hint of blood inside it, is greatly disturbing her. She lifted her hand to rub the dizziness away.Cling!Her brown eyes widen in shock. What is this? A chain? The young woman is in a dumbfounded state. She slowly processed the information she got from her surrounding. Wait, is this chain real? Not a plaything? There's a chain latched around her wrist?! Oh my god! What is actually happen to her? Did she get kidnapped? She scanned her surroundings again. Yep. She might get kidnapped. She came out with the most plausible answer from the many options barraging her muddleheaded brain.

J flexed his knuckles, slowly but gradually picked his pace, moved steadily, and got ready to hunt his prey. After taking two steps, he abruptly halted. J looked at the departing figure, who soon becomes a blurry and dotted point from a distance, with an indescribable feeling. His heart is heavy. An unknown emotion suddenly erupted, making his restless heartbeat jump in erratic turmoil. A dull throbbing pain pulsed throughout his body and J found it hard to calm down. Countless images flashed in front of his eyes. He squeezed shut his eyelids, opened them again, and beneath the limpid eyes, dangerous red glints flashed. J turned around, glaring discontentedly at the stiff Xavier. "What did you do to my brother? His condition didn't seem good. Did you use your dark magic on him?" Xavier flinched. Shit. Is he able to sense that brat's condition despite being separated by two different dimensions? What kind of connection does he have with that human? Did

The patter of the raindrops distracted Maria's attention from the rustling sound that came from behind the bushes. The sky poured out its resentment on earth and drenched the dry ground. The soil became muddy. Maria choked on her cries. She looked up at the sky while hesitantly holding out her palm and felt the cold water drip over her skin. In a daze, Maria had taken a step forward from under the tree, soaking herself under the drizzling rain. Her damp clothes are stuck on her body, outlining the curves inside, making them an almost see-through outfit. However, this is not her concern. The worst had yet come to torture her. Maria abruptly clutched her head as her knees wobbly dropped onto the wet grass. Agonized expression marred her ashen face. Countless images flashed across her eyes. The images were so vivid. It was like she watched a movie premiere in the front seat and was the only audience. Those unknown images smeared with the sickly smell of

Warning! Read at your own discretion. The gory scene ahead. You have been reminded. "Did you see the memories hidden deep inside your mind? Tell me, my dear. How many people have you killed with your own hands? Ten? Twenty? Hundred? Or maybe, a thousand?" J stroked Maria's hair, trailed along the line until its end, and twirled those strands around his finger. He rubbed her head affectionately while coaxing her to tell him what he wanted to hear the most. "Whether you killed the innocent or guilty, it is not my concern. I didn't hunt you to bestow a judgment on you. I am not a god." Maria's lips were trembling. Her brown eyes glistened with tears. She stood still, letting J pet her head without any desire to move. She clenched and loosened her palms while restraining her cries. "I made a contract with someone to fulfill my wish. I hunted a sinner.

Infirmary on Level Five. Su Tae Hyung had been sitting beside Ryan since an hour ago. He is anxiously waiting for the man to regain his consciousness. Ryan had a fever, and as the temperature spiked up to the point of endangering himself, the doctor in charge gave him an IV drip through an injection needle. She reminded Su Tae Hyung to give the medicine as soon as he awoke. Then, she went out to do her other duty. Su Tae Hyung grabbed the unmoving hand. The palm was too warm to his liking, and he mindlessly kneaded that flesh. Ryan's body emanated warmness. Additionally, the temperature became hotter and hotter as time ticked by, and Su Tae Hyung felt distressed about his worrisome state. It has been two hours. The fever should be gone by now. Yet, Ryan seemed uncomfortable in his sleep, and sometimes, a whimper of pain came out from his parted mouth. Beads of sweats adorned his forehead, and Ryan seemed restless this entire time.

Ryan is sitting crossed-legs on the big bed. With his folded arms and he tilted his head, drowning and musing himself with an endless stream of questions without answers. He lifted his head and once again surveyed this unfamiliar bedroom. Where is this place? Did he transmigrate? Or was this merely a dream, and he was the only premier spectator? Even so, how come the dream setting is so realistic? That he doubted his five senses and kept pinching his thigh to force himself awake. Inevitably, he rubbed his bruise's thigh with a sullen expression. The skin is too delicate and fragile-looking, like a porcelain doll. Judging from his expensive outfit, lavishly furnished bedroom, and his exquisite appearance, he didn't think this original body's identity was a simple one. Was he a young master from a prominent and distinguished family? Also, why couldn't he unlock the hidden memories that lay safely within his mind? The memories are just within his grasp.

*Warning. Read at your own risk. Slight mature content. There were only three people inside the living room. Ryan and Hu Zhi Ming sat side by side on a big sofa while the house's owner sat on a single couch. He invited them for a drink. Two sets of tea were prepared in advance and placed in front of them. The steams were visible to the naked eyes. The sweet aroma of Chamomile tea dispersed in the air inciting saliva to drool. Ryan felt his throat parched. Before he knew it, he had already taken the cup and sipped out the content with gusto, completely forgotten that the tea was hot and steaming. Ryan coughed out and miserably spitting out the liquid. "Ah-Feng!" Hu Zhi Ming was a step too late in stopping him. He never realized that the man was too thirsty. He was oblivious of Feng Zheng's condition and unaware of his need. Hu Zhi Ming and Ryan were constantly moving for two hours, leaping up and down from one tree to another, before reac

They arrived in a secluded village, deep inside the mountain and surrounded by lush bamboo trees. The entry to the village is well-hidden behind the thick blanket of nature as cobwebs hang from one beam to another, creating the illusion of an abandoned city. Wild and long grasses covered the pathway, almost reaching their knees. It is a hassle to cross over the pile of over-grown weeds to step a foot on someone else's house. At first glance, the village seemed forsaken by humans. No sane people wished to stay inside a gloomy and deserted place, particularly one that lacked sunlight. The smell that wafted around was a bit disturbing. The incense smell was not the one that someone put inside the bedroom to help themselves fall asleep. Instead, it was the one used to make an offer to the dead. The thick and hazy smokes made their sight blurry and hazy. The scent induced numbness, causing Ryan to paralyze momentarily. He fell into a trap. He blinked his eyes multiple times, but what h

Ryan's heart was palpitating.The exhilarating feeling made him numb from shock, and he almost let out an excited squeal subconsciously.Ryan enjoyed this blissful moment.The world around him seemed to be in a frozen state, and the time had stopped moving.What kind of dream was this?He mindlessly pinched his cheek and flinched.The pain is real. The possibility of sleepwalking was not feasible. Ryan could no longer differentiate between reality and fantasy.No dream could be as realistic as the one he experienced right now.To think that such an unbelievable thing occurred to him right now had made him doubt himself.For sure, his soul had transmigrated into someone else's body. He also transmigrated into a world different from his modern setting world.Can anyone believe him?He was flying. He was indeed flying!It was memorable to mention such an absurd thing

No way. Is Long Yuan, Jihun? Ryan's clutched over Hu Zhi Ming's arm tightened. He had a war within his mind, redundant messy thoughts overflowed like a broken dam, and he started to doubt his instinct. Impossible. Such a thing is frightening! Hold on. Calm down. You needed to calm down first. He might be imagining it. Ryan tried to appease himself. All of this is an illusion. And a bad one at that. But, how could he accept that hoax when his subconscious reaction had told him otherwise. No matter how he tries to deny it, he cannot lie to himself. It was similar. It was the same feeling he got every time he and Jihun had their moment of encounter. There's no mistake about it. What kind of feeling does he get from this man? The answer is simple. It was the dreadful sensation he frequently felt when he went to stop Jihun's madness. It was so similar that he felt goosebumps all over his body. It was like

"Why did you cry?" Feng Zheng is crying, like a child, his eyes glistened with tears, and there's a trace of grievances within those wet pupils. Seeing him like this caused Hu Zhi Ming's steel heart to soften. "I'm sorry. Please don't cry." He was distressed when he saw Feng Zheng's grief-stricken eyes.He never once saw him cry miserably as this, not even when the late Emperor and Empress passed away. Right now, these heart-wrenching cries sounded very sorrowful, as if the whole world had wronged him.Feng Zheng curled even further, deliberately avoiding any skin contact with him. If he can drill himself into the sofa, bury himself inside it and never come out, he would like to do that. Nevertheless, he couldn't.Hu Zhi Ming felt perturbed. He didn't know where to put his restless hands. Hu Zhi Ming wanted to coax and console him and drive the misery away from Feng Zheng's heart. Yet, he is unable to do that. The victim refused him, evading his touch and affect

The end of the flashback.Ryan wanted to vomit on the spot. He felt dirty. As if his body got covered by the filth that stubbornly stuck on his body no matter how hard he scrubbed it.The original had stayed pure for his fiancee, believing in the beauty prospect of marriage. Yet, his innocence got robbed from him in the hands of a beast disguised in human skin. His dream, ruthlessly shattered to pieces like a broken mirror.For him, sex is nothing because every human has needs and desires. It's a human's basic instinct. But with the consent from both sides. If one side is unwilling, it will result in rape. He despised rape. He had seen many scenes in which all the victims had forced themselves to the verge of insanity. Some even committed suicide.Out of nowhere, Ryan felt something creeping from below to upward, starting from his toes. The unpleasant sensation crawled all over his skin, eliciting goosebumps to erupt. And, the tidal of turbulent emotions

*Mention of rape and suicide. Read with caution. Ryan curled on the sofa, both knees and arms folded in apprehension. He resembled a wounded animal who had been preyed on by a predator and forced to some corner, desperately protecting his dear life. He evaded Hu Zhi Ming's eyes and looked pensively to the floor. For a moment, he gave an impression of a wronged child that just got scolded by his parent. Hu Zhi Ming's eyes darkened. He cornered the petite man until his back hit the back of the sofa, caged in between his two strong arms that heavily pressed onto the armrests. He didn't leave any exit for Feng Zheng to retreat. If he left even one opening, Feng Zheng would treacherously avoid him again, and then, they will face the same stalemate. Feng Zheng su
