The Yu Brothers’ Case Book

“The deceased is undeniably the missing Lin Ya Qing.”

Yu Xia placed the report down on the table and glanced around at the people who had discovered the body. “Ah Yin…didn’t I tell you to stop messing with these things in your free time!”

A heavy bang onto the table accompanied the terrifying voice that echoed through the office.

Yu Yin and Jiu Shen were both scared, simultaneously running backwards to hug their chairs [from behind] as they frightfully watched the boss who was already on the verge of going mad after pulling an all-nighter.

After about three seconds, Jiu Shen belatedly realised that his fear was unwarranted as the other person was not actually yelling at him. As a result, he coughed and sat back down properly.

Li Zi Hong was sitting in the centre, expressionlessly flipping open the preliminary report. “The identity was confirmed?”

“Yan Si received teeth moulds from the dentist, and the comparison has already confirmed the person.” Yu Xia fiercely glared at the child who had run away from his home in the middle of the night to go looking for dead bodies. He restrained his anger as he replied, “The cause of death was excessive bleeding. According to Yan Si’s analysis, the deceased’s wound was in the stomach, although it wasn’t fatal. If emergency treatment had been performed at the time, she would likely not have been at risk. The reason she died was because she had been bleeding for around two hours.”

“Wait, Uncle, you’re saying that she died from bleeding out in that place for two hours?” Yu Yin was stunned, as an indescribable feeling rose up in his heart.

“To be more accurate, she was unconscious for the two hours up until she died. Aside from that cut, Yan Si also discovered a blunt force injury on her head. After comparison with weapons, it was determined to likely be that broken chair. With the body’s condition, there were signs of the deceased having fought back, so she must have been conscious when getting wounded. Judging from the object fallen on the ground and the scene of the crime being relatively tidy, she collapsed onto the table after the strike on the head left its mark and did not move again. That means she died from blood loss after falling unconscious.” Yu Xia pressed his temples that were beginning to ache after consecutive days of overwork as he paced around the office. “That little girl still hasn’t spoken anything yet.”

“What about Su Tong Shuang’s father?” Li Zi Hong put down the simple, preliminary report as he directly pointed out another main point.

“The officers found him unconscious in the bathroom. We are not sure if he fell while wheeling himself in or not…but the wheelchair had been pulled outside of the room, which we are still investigating.” Yu Xia stopped pacing and glanced around at the others. “Moreover, we found incense at the scene.”

“Incense?” Li Zi Hong narrowed his eyes.

“Mm, quite a lot of it. However, there were several different types of packages, and each package had contained more than one bag.” Yu Xia had only heard this from the report back of the scene, and he was planning on making a trip later in the afternoon to get a clearer picture. “They were all placed up in the ceiling. There was also a small shrine inside the room, although the incense used there was another type.”

“…Inventory. Either that female victim or Su Tong Shuang’s father might have been selling the incense.”

The large amounts of different packages had been stocked up in the ceiling – a place that was hard to retrieve from. Moreover, the ones they used daily and the ones they stored were different. This was not something that any kind of buyer would have a reason to do. It was very possible that they were middle dealers, selling the different packages with different prices and amounts to meet various peoples’ demands.

Li Zi Hong crossed his arms as he wondered just how many other people and households like this used such things.

Su Tong Shuang, who had been arranged to stay in another room, had already showed clear signs of aggression. Evidently, they had been using [the incense] for a period of time already. The wounds on her body may or may not have also been due to this.

He just could not understand why such a small child would harbour such strong hostility towards her father and her step-mother.

“Is it possible that the little girl killed Li Ya Qing?” Li Zi Hong asked, as he glanced at Yu Xia with a feeling of something like regret.

“No, probably not. Yan Si said the cut in the stomach was extremely deep, and the blade had penetrated cleanly through. Based on the amount of force needed, we are looking to capture an adult.” Yu Xia glanced at the notes and voiced a scenario. “The two people were standing face-to-face when the other person abruptly sent the attack towards her stomach area.”

Li Zi Hong nodded in understanding. “That Mèimei absolutely refuses to cooperate; she will not answer any questions,” Jiu Shen swallowed and voiced this with a raised hand.

Several people simultaneously shifted their gazes towards Yu Yin, who was just about to grab drinks.

“Eh, me again?” Yu Yin pointed at himself with the feeling that he really did end up doing things as if he had nothing better to do…

“Since coming back, she’s been crying this whole time and looking for you. Exactly what did you do to that little girl?” Yu Xia narrowed his eyes at his troublemaker child while asking the question in a frigid tone.

“I didn’t do anything at all, I only met her three days ago…” At worst, I just dragged her over to a friend who might’ve taken off a layer of her skin? Yu Yin was also extremely mystified by the little girl’s attachment to him.

Ah, it can’t be that…she plans on slaughtering me when it’s time or anything like that, right?

“If it’s alright with you, could you go see her again?” Li Zi Hong asked as he looked at the only person that could appease the little girl. “She might have clues.”

Yu Yin scratched his head and nodded. “I can’t do anything if she doesn’t answer.”

“Of course.”

Li Zi Hong watched Jiu Shen and Yu Yin leave before turning his gaze back onto the officer that was sitting in the chair next to him.

Yu Xia, who was still somewhat annoyed, grabbed the report and flipped through it again.

“A bit similar.”

“What?” Yu Xia turned to look at the prosecutor and responded with a single word, completely lost.

“…I heard that Shaodi Yu had been this way back then as well. He was only willing to grab onto you and Yu Tong, and nobody else was able to deal with him.” Back then, Li Zi Hong had not yet been here. He had heard of this matter from the previous prosecutor during the handover.

“Oh, that? It’s pretty normal. After all, in that kind of situation, Xiao Yu would naturally grab the first person he saw. Kind of like a cry for help.” Yu Xia waved his hand. Now that it was mentioned, he also recalled the scene back then. Since Xiao Yu had refused to let anyone else touch him, the social workers had not been able to bring him away. As a result, they had been forced to break the rules and bring him home. Now a year had already passed. Time really flies. “But now he’s more attached to Ah Yin. The two often go out and back together.”

“Powerful sense of attachment…?”

“What?” Yu Xia suddenly jerked his head up, having not quite heard the words just now.

Li Zi Hong shook his head. “Nothing.”

***

He stared at the clock. It was nine in the morning.

Yu Yin, Yu Xia, and the others had not returned since last night.

Xiao Yu stirred the pot, somewhat spaced out as he focused on the little clock. Only when the contents of the pot were boiling over did he snap out of his thoughts.

Since he had run out to do things the past two days without telling anyone, he had raised their suspicions. He knew that Yu Tong had wanted to bring him to the station today, so he had purposely feigned oversleeping due to playing video games too late, not responding even after the person outside the room had knocked on the door several times.

Yu Tong later gave up, and only left a piece of paper that said he would return at noon, and to stay put.

Xiao Yu lowered the stove’s flame and crouched down to open the cabinet filled with finished products from yesterday…He wasn’t sure if the empty bottles left from yesterday would fit it all…

He calculated the time. He had received a message from Shen Shu Ning this morning, inviting them over again. Since they had hit it off together so well, she wanted to chat with them some more.

This actually worked well, as they could possibly find something out…

Xiao Yu turned around, then froze for a moment. He had clearly touched something in the air, but he could not see it.

He had been like this since very long ago, occasionally bumping into or touching something when turning around. He could no longer remember exactly when it had started. Every time the incense sellers came to his home, the feeling would increase significantly, as if a different type of visitor would enter the home together.

Even when underneath the water, he could still sense their gazes.

However, he could not see anything.

He had once tried feeling it around in attempt to figure out what exactly it was. However, he would always give up midway, as the icy cold was not something of this world. The odour he could not smell and the object he could not see sent chills through his entire body every time.

Since arriving at this home, he would occasionally see those things. Yu Yin claimed to see them very clearly, while Xiao Yu could only see a blurry mess.

When the time came, would he maybe also become such an existence?

“That time…” Might be very soon.

He felt inside his pocket, the utility knife that never left his side carried a slight chilliness.

His heart that had frozen underneath the water had recovered much of its emotions over this period of time. He could feel sad, happy, and want, things that he had nearly forgotten. The sense of pain also slowly returned to his memories.

He knew why he had not died back then.

The man that had harbored so much hatred to the point of murdering even his friends to be buried with his family had not been willing to touch Xiao Yu.

He clearly remembered every single sentence, every single word spoken through that door, causing him to hate his own memory. If he could forget it, he would probably be so relaxed that he would’ve let himself disappear from this world on the very first day.

However, he could not die.

The man had not killed him because he was not part of their family. So the man refused to murder him or even touch him. It was all due to the reason of him not belonging to their household.

“But I am…”

He felt something wet on his face as he unconsciously spoke these words.

His home – his already destroyed home – had rejected him, refused to love him, and even refused to let him die with them. Even up to the very end, he had not been able to see them.

He only wanted to hear their voices again.

It was fine if they resented him, or if he was not part of them. All he wanted was to hear them just one more time.

As he thought this, the space next to him felt empty and desolate.

Just one more time…

Nothing else mattered if he could just hear those hateful words once more.

Consequently, he understood where his final destination was.

Until he punished those that deserved punishment, he would…

“Why can’t you love me?”

He felt both warmth and cold. The warmth was from others, while the longing from the other half had never been satisfied.

As he had gradually recovered his emotions from his memories, he had also slowly awoken other things. The honeyed words the incense seller had said to swindle his father into buying the drugs, every single word spoken to him from outside that door, the chilling laughter after bringing someone to drag his Zǐzǐ away to repay the debt, the pained crying from his brother being hurt – slowly, everything was aroused.

The screams that passed through the water.

The sorrowful noises that never stopped in that house.

The tears that merged with the ice-cold water, mixed with the blood, never ceasing.

“Shuang Shuang heard Āyí tell Daddy: ‘Who told you to go out during the car accident? Our plan was just to hit that woman. You set out too late, so I’ll help you.’”

Shuang Shuang was sitting on a chair, swinging her feet as she wore a sparkling smile. She touched Yu Yin’s face as she said, “So Shuang Shuang just felt that Daddy should also go say sorry to Mommy in Heaven, forever and ever.”

Nobody inside the large room made a sound.

A few female officers had inhaled sharply behind covered mouths, unable to believe an innocent child could speak such twisted words.

Yu Yin crouched down in front of the chair to look at the grinning little girl, unable to bring himself to speak no matter how he tried.

Shuang Shuang was more cooperative with him than others. As long as he asked something, the little girl would pour out all her secrets without restraint while smiling.

“Shuang Shuang was dirty, so dirty, but Dàgēgē was still very nice to Shuang Shuang. Aside from Mommy, Dàgēgē is my most favourite person in the world.” The little girl tugged at the blood-stained dress on her body. She was extremely happy as she continued, “In that secret base, Shuang Shuang is Mommy and Dàgēgē is Daddy. Only the two of us can be in the secret base together. So Shuang Shuang only needs Dàgēgē.”

Yu Yin opened his mouth, but no sounds came out of it. He restrained the feeling of pain that rose in his heart as he took a deep breath to ask more. “Why was Āyí there? Did you see anything?”

“Mhm, I did. Because Shuang Shuang tricked her over there. She wanted Shuang Shuang’s treasure. Because the purple is so pretty, she said she could get a lot of money for it. So Shuang Shuang told her the treasure was in the secret base. She went in, then a big Shūshu when in too. The two of them talked in the room and got very mad. Then, Shūshu left.” The little girl used her hands to shape out a very large circular shape [in the air] as she earnestly described how large the other person was. “Then Shuang Shuang went in and saw Āyí lying on the table with her stomach bleeding. She seemed to be hurting a lot, so Shuang Shuang used a chair to make her faint and locked her inside so she hurt until she died. Just like how Mommy had been hurting when she died.”

The little girl gripped Yu Yin’s now cold hands as she giggled softly like she was telling a children’s story and continued to tell him more. Since her mother had passed away, her father had become very violent. She did not know when it had started, but at some point, her home had always been filled with a sweet scent.

It seemed to be after the car accident.

That Āyí has frequently visited before, bringing that sweet smell with her. After her Mommy died, Āyí lived with them. The smell in her home also grew stronger every day.

When she watched her father and her Āyí laughing together, they would see her as an eyesore. They did not let her go to class, did not give her food to eat aside from the occasional cold, unwanted bread.

She often wandered around near the university since the shops around the school would give her warm foods to eat.

“After Āyí cleaned Shuang Shuang, she would bring me to a bunch of Shūshu that I didn’t know. They would always say Shuang Shuang was very cute, and always touched me. Even when Shuang Shuang said it hurt, they wouldn’t stop.” The little girl lifted up her clothes to show the bruises underneath, touching them as she said, “Some of them would hit me just like this, right here. They never hit the hands, feet, or face, since Āyí would make them pay money.”

She said that each Shūshu looked different. However, all of them had the same sweet scent in their rooms, just like her home. When her Āyí brought her to a hotel, she would also light the incense to make it smell good.

“The Shūshu would only hug Shuang Shuang when Shuang Shuang was clean, but Ah Yin-dàgēgē didn’t care that I was dirty. Shuang Shuang likes you the best.”

Yu Yin rubbed the little girl’s head and exhaled as he turned to glance at the other officers.

The person recording pressed the button to stop the tape. He wiped his face and gestured to Yu Yin that it was enough.

When Yu Yin stood up, his feet were a bit numb.

However, he did not pay it any mind. All he wanted to do was get out and get some fresh air, then quickly go home. He wanted to go back home and look at Xiao Yu as soon as possible. The two of them had not played games or gone outside together for a while now.

The unshakeable feeling of grief and pain was extremely heavy.

He wasn’t sure when it had started, but he was already so used to his brother’s existence. It was as if he had always had that other brother from the very beginning.

Every morning after waking up, and every night after returning home, there would always be someone to turn on the lights and the TV and sit next to it. Thinking back to it now, it was a scene that could not feel more natural.

Ah, it seemed that he had truly already accepted the reality of having a brother.

[A feeling existing] from the very beginning, when he had found his brother annoying, all the way up until now. Habits are truly very amazing.

“Ah Yin, you can go home first.” Someone walked over and patted his shoulder, telling him that he had done very well and that the police would sort out the rest.

He glanced at the little girl and, for a moment, her small and slim figure overlapped with another youth’s.

As if knowing it was her fate and that it would be good-bye, the little girl did not kick up a large fuss like before. She just silently gripped his hands. “Shuang Shuang will give her treasure to Dàgēgē. I like Dàgēgē the best.”

Yu Yin bent over to hug the little girl. “Be good. If I get the chance, I’ll come back and visit you.” He figured that the little girl would be transferred to a protection centre and eventually be transferred to a new household when the time was right. She would then have beautiful parents again, ones that would help her forget her pain.

“Mm.” The little girl nodded firmly and stretched out her arms to wrap them around his neck. Her pink, soft lips slowly spoke words so soft that nobody else could hear:

“You can’t run away. Shuang Shuang will come find you.”

Because the secret base had her as the Mommy, and Dàgēgē as the Daddy.

Neither could be missing.

As the little girl was led away, she was still smiling.

***

He was extremely exhausted.

After his hitchhiked ride stopped before his front door and Yu Yin thanked the patrol driver who had brought him back, it was already almost noon. The others had originally invited him to eat at the station before going home, but he had tactfully turned them down.

When he opened the door, he found nobody inside. There was still the aroma of something delicious in the air, perhaps from food that had been cooked not long ago. The smell had not yet faded.

For some reason, Yu Yin suddenly felt a stab of fear in his heart.

They might have just missed each other.

“Not picking up his phone again…” Yu Yin called several times, fury growing as he looked down at the number on his screen that had not been answered.

He grabbed his jacket and turned to leave. But the instant he opened his front door, he saw someone completely unexpected standing outside. “Little Class President?” His eyes widened. He never would have imagined seeing this child standing in front of his house at such a time.

“You can’t go out.” Ji You Lun was still panting from running all the way as he blocked Yu Yin’s path. “Don’t leave.”

“Did something happen?” Yu Yin asked as he hurriedly helped pat the other’s back. Seeing how rushed the child was, it was unlikely to be a prank of some sort.

“I don’t know. But…” Ji You Lun patted his chest, unable to explain the reason. “But she….” He had heard that familiar voice tell him, but he did not know what was going on.

Yu Yin lifted his head to see the girl next to Ji You Lun’s side shake her head.

“…You know where he went?” Yu Yin questioned while staring straight at the girl that was already starting to vanish into the air.

For some reason, his eyelid began to twitch. He had been feeling somewhat restless ever since leaving the station, as if something unknown was quietly unfolding at the moment.

Ji You Lun turned around and did not see anyone there. However, he knew Yu Yin was not talking to him.

“Tell me.” Yu Yin stared straight at the hesitant girl.

The girl looked at him with a somewhat foreboding expression. After a while, she slowly pointed at the other side of the street.

Yu Yin quickly turned back to start his motorbike’s engine. Just as he was about to charge out, he saw his friend start to walk over from across the road. “Help me look after them!” After shouting this out, he immediately raced away.

“Another kid!” Li Lin Yue glanced at the so-called “them”…but she only saw one person. She shouted back, “Do you think I’m some kind of nanny, you bastard!”

Yu Yin let his friend’s words fly in one ear and out the other, urgently pressing down on the accelerator as he sped out to the end of the road.

He had a nagging feeling that something was wrong.

Cars drove back and forth on the street. Yu Yin stopped at the red light, completely at a loss on which direction to head in. He had acted on a bizarre type of impulse, with absolutely no idea where to go.

Then, he saw the figures of two children appear across the street. As usual, they waved at him and giggled.

One of them asked if he wanted to come before they both turned and vanished. Their small silhouettes re-appeared on a further asphalt road that they began to run down while clapping their hands together.

Without any hesitation, Yu Yin followed behind the two shadows.

He knew that they no longer harbored any ill intent, although it was extremely hard to forget the events that had occurred on the rooftop not long ago. However, he could already see that the children that were slightly transparent looked extremely clean, the opposite from the pitch-black colour they had been back then. Perhaps they were about to leave this place and move onto another.

He felt deep in his gut that this would be the last time he would see them again.

Their final destination was the place he had just been last night.

He stared at the house in front of him. There were still police officers wandering around inside.

“Ah Yin? Why did you run over here again?” The investigation officer named Ah Liu was very surprised to see Yu Yin. He had just been about to pack up and leave when he spotted the other person. “Boss even warned you not to enter again. Hurry up and go home now before Boss returns to the site…Or did you drop something inside? Do you want me to help you look for it?”

“…There’s a box that should be on the second floor dressing table. It contains a violet necklace inside that belongs to Xiao Yu.” Yu Yin glanced around the absolutely quiet house under the sunlight. He could no longer see the children that had led him here.

“Oh, I can help you look out for it then.” Ah Liu noticed Yu Yin’s expression was somewhat frantic, so he took his hat off and also began to survey the area. “Are you looking for Boss? He just headed out from the station and won’t be here for another twenty minutes or so. If you’re afraid of getting beaten, you should quickly head back and get some sleep.”

“Did Xiao Yu show up around here?”

“Huh? No.”

Then they called me here because…

Yu Yin stopped in his tracks as he spotted a black humanoid shadow standing over a section of blackened dirt in the yard. It was scorched and warped from being burned; the whole body was twisted to one side as it seemed to be walking back and forth on top of the completely empty flowerbed.

“Ah Liu-Gē, go check if there’s anything buried underneath that flowerbed.” Yu Yin grabbed the investigation officer and pointed at the spot the shadow stood over. Then, when he turned around, he saw feet walk past him and slowly pass through the alley on the other side.

Without thinking much of it, Yu Yin directly turned his bike and chased after it.

Abandoned, Ah Liu just blankly stood there unmoving as he stared at the person now getting further away.

“Is Ah Yin trying to make a reincarnation cycle or something? Why is he in such a hurry?” Another officer nearby who also knew Yu Yin asked in a puzzled tone, “I don’t think I’ve ever seen him so anxious before; should we call Boss?”

Ah Liu continued to watch the figure disappearing into the distance as he nodded. “Let’s call. Also, find some people to come over and dig up that flowerbed later.” He figured that Yu Yin had likely seen something again. Although Boss did not allow Yu Yin to wander around crime scenes, there was pretty much a 90% chance of him being right whenever he did say there was something somewhere.

There was just some kind of strange force in the deep darkness. Although most people believed it could only be used as a reference, trusting it would not hurt either.

Maybe that force is pushing that person off into the distance to continue onto the next spot?

Ah Liu shrugged. With this guess, he put his hat back on his head.

***

The feet led him to another house.

To be more precise, it was multiple pairs of feet.

Mid-way there, Yu Yin had noticed that the feet were constantly being replaced by others. Sometimes they seemed to belong to an adult, while sometimes they seemed to belong to a child, as well as males and females. They all pointed him to this last destination before him.

As he stopped the motorbike in front of the house, the feet that had guided him here disappeared. Then, he spotted a woman standing in front of the house. Her clean face was flushed, as if she had just been crying. Her white apron was dotted with tea stains and drops of blood.

“What did you do to him!” Yu Yin instantly felt himself grow cold when he saw the blood. He leapt off his bike and grabbed the stranger by her shoulders, shaking her forcefully.

Floating out from the veranda was a strong scent, the kind that was inauspiciously sweet and unctuous.

It took a long time for the woman to snap out of her daze. The first thing that came out of her was a low laugh. “So it’s you…Ah Tang said you would come looking here…murderer!”

Yu Yin was stunned by the woman’s shout. “Who are you?” He warily backed away and watched the woman slowly, very slowly, pull out a sharp knife from her apron. The blade was clean, which made him feel slightly relieved. However, his nerves were still stretched taut.

“You killed Wang Hong…You killed him? He was my only son…You killed him?” Her body swayed, and the crying woman let out a miserable chuckle. “My son, my son that I raised with my own hands…has already been dead for almost a year. Why must everyone deceive me?”

“I didn’t kill him!” Yu Yin noticed that the woman’s mental state was abnormal. He gripped his helmet to protect himself as the glinting tip of the blade slid against the helmet’s surface and brushed past his body. The woman continued to stumble forwards a few steps before collapsing on the flowerbed.

Yu Yin noticed a section of this flowerbed had also turned black, and he instinctively knew that there was something off. However, he did not have much time to discern what it was, as the woman had already staggered back up from the ground and relentlessly swung her blade at him again.

“Why lie to me…You were all so disobedient. Mommy was just doing what was best for you!” The woman screamed, her whole body trembling uncontrollably as she tightly clutched the handle of the knife, not even feeling the bruises on her palm. “That man brought me so much disaster. Why did you all follow him? Why did you all lie to me?!”

Yu Yin used all his strength to grab onto the woman’s wrist, forcing her knife to drop onto the ground. He immediately kicked it off to the other side of the road. “Listen to me…I’m not lying to you. I did not kill Wang Hong.” He could sense the woman’s tremors and her uncontrollable pain, her ceaseless sense of helplessness and grief.

“I can’t anymore…I hurt so much…” The woman tightly clutched onto the warm human being in front of her as she broke down wailing. “I know I can’t touch that thing, but I can’t stop…It’s all his fault…I have no way of leaving him…I don’t want me and my children to continue living with these circumstances forever…”

Yu Yin held the woman who had now lost all her strength. He wormed out one hand to call the two officers outside the street to request for their help. He then supported her as he lowered her to sit down. “Could you please tell me where Xiao Yu is?” He gently patted the woman’s face and wiped away her tears.

She needed help.

Shen Shu Ning blankly looked at the person in front of her. Being on the verge of falling apart, she had no idea who the other person was. All she remembered were the words another man had told her. “An iron shack…next to the ocean. The two children are there…”

“Which ocean?”

The woman absent-mindedly gave him an address. Based on its more remote location, Yu Yin estimated it would take him a while to get there. Moreover, he was not completely certain if he knew where this place was.

A few minutes later, the police officers quickly rushed over.

After informing them of the woman’s identity and situation, Yu Yin sighed.

Just as he retrieved his helmet and was about to head out, he heard a large commotion come from behind him. The sharp scream did not sound human.

When he turned around, he saw the woman pull out another, shorter blade from her apron to slash at the officers next to her, causing them to bend over with twisted expressions. “I’ll kill you, you murderer—”

Yu Yin had barely any time to react. All he could do was dumbly watch the blade being stabbed towards his chest.

Just like in movies, time seemed to stall as the surroundings were moving in slow-motion. He felt as if he was a spectator standing outside to watch rather than the main character in the scene.

The woman instantly flew over.

The glinting blade cut through Yu Yin’s jacket before being reflected backwards along with the woman. The woman that had fallen off to one side rolled around the ground with her hands holding her head, screaming as if her hair was being pulled…Moreover, it really did look as if someone was pulling her hair, as the relatively long black hair had all been gathered and was stretching towards one direction. The woman’s pale scalp was completely exposed, nearly ripping as it was pulled towards a bizarre angle.

The officers crawled up from the ground while clutching at their wounds, staring dumbly at the horrifying scene before them.

Yu Yin looked upwards to see another woman pulling on the hair. Next to her transparent, slender feet was a very large cat letting out low howls.

He finally knew why she had been pacing back and forth at the electronic games centre back then to wait for her boyfriend, refusing to leave no matter what.

Perhaps she had already gotten used to the drugs in the air conditioning back then.

Lin Xiu Jing directed a faint, sorrowful smile at him.

“Go.”

No sound came out from the young girl’s open mouth. However, the shape of her mouth was so clear that it was as if the words were passed straight through his brain.

The leopard cat cried out and leapt out onto the street to bound forwards, as if taking the lead.

Yu Yin did not hesitate any longer. He put on his safety helmet and floored the accelerator as he rushed out behind the leopard cat.

They had stayed this whole time.

Finally, they would witness the events all come to a close.

The girl loosened her grip, smiling as she vanished into thin air.
