I went to meet Jagan at his house, bringing along my latest drawings. He had a class to attend, but he promised to join us later. Before I left, I asked him about a project he had been working on.
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ZGfB4TJej
Jagan always believed that science could be just as powerful as spirituality in our missions. Inspired by movies like Ghostbusters, he had built all kinds of gadgets. Some worked. Some didn't. But more than once, his inventions had saved our lives.
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgWidlCatZF
Even if his methods were a little crazy, I trusted his heart.

📍 Restoran Nasi Kandar Di Naina, KL
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgS8geLfM8M
I met Martin at his usual breakfast spot - a humble Nasi Kandar joint tucked between shoplots. He was halfway through his roti canai banjir with teh tarik when he saw me walk in.
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMxkfW37Ep4
"Let me guess... another case?" he grinned.
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIhzLdcFBTu
I ordered the same and sat down beside him, unrolling my sketchbook.
I had recently mastered realistic portrait drawing - a skill that helped me capture my dreams exactly as I saw them. Every line told a story. Every shadow whispered something hidden.
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ94QxqivXPw
As we ate, I told Martin about last night's dream.
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgrbKUFQq7v
The woman.
The scream.
And the tattoo of a pigeon on her right leg.
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9icwI9UotR
He paused. "Have you seen her in real life yet?"
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ41dmFB4kFn
I shook my head. "Not yet."
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdsrRVARcUQ
Martin leaned back. His expression turned serious.
"Then you already know what this means."
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrKYFf8Q8K7
We did. After all these years, some things had become clear - and terrifying.
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRMFlX5z41B
The people I saw in my dreams were real.
They were going to die exactly the way I saw.
And once they died, they'd come looking for me... within six hours.
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz7IyxUXD29
If they didn't, something was wrong.
Blocked.
Trapped.
Maybe even attacked by the demons that preyed on lost souls.
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0UcvCeX4T1
These creatures weren't random. They were sent by someone -
An ancient sorcerer. A being of immense power. A shadow behind the curtain.
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG4GEDG11kr
We only knew him as The Conqueror.
He lived in a mirror world, sealed and cursed, yet his reach slipped into ours.
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa0wKd6SGzG
We still didn't know why he targeted souls here. Why only Malaysians? Or those who died in this country?
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpDYWkenjEK
But we did know how to fight back.
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkABl28Aksc
When a soul is blocked, I must use the Chakran - a magical mask that allows me to meditate and see their most important personal object. Once we track it within 24 hours, I can use my Thrisula pendant to call them back from the demon's grip.
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR6o57rgrKP
But there's a catch.
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyoP3xIpmId
Every time we do this, we only get seven days.
Seven days to solve the case.
Or the soul is lost forever.
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5iphEyIdDm
Until now, we've never let the Conqueror win.
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKsAHoyunKH
Martin called the police control room to check if there were any suicidal cases reported yesterday. While we waited for updates, my phone buzzed.
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNV9fEC9B8G
It was a call from my sister.

📍Hospital Pantai, Cheras
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4GMKTvCaTa
Martin and I rushed to the emergency ward.
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM4V3TN6GVA
My sister was there. So was Kayal.
Her eyes were full of tears.
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE40MR5Qfbp
She told me what had happened.
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1cMNsygIES
My father had suffered a heart attack.
Not his first.
He had been a heart patient for years - and we had no idea.
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeMgTThyf0N
He had kept it a secret. Even from me and my sister.
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1laUfdt9Vr
Kayal explained that he had made her promise not to tell us until he chose to.
I couldn't believe it. We thought we knew our father... but somehow, we didn't.
Not the way our mother did.
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaWpgUpkZ34
Dr. Agilan stepped out of the ward, his voice stern but caring.
"He's safe now. Stable. But that idiot didn't even tell me about his condition either."
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxeTCw27FMN
He told us our father needed to rest for a few hours before being moved to the ward. We could visit after that. A little relief washed over me. At least he was safe.
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ21GIJ1EjLi
Kayal offered to stay and take care of everything. My sister agreed to stay with her.
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD64mNVbysZ
Martin and I prepared to leave. There was still a mission waiting for us.
But just before I stepped out, Kayal pulled me aside.
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Wag3HIvBe
She apologized for keeping the truth from me.
I told her it was okay. I understood.
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbqKs6d9e3R
Then I told her about the new case.
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8BzlPkhHZy
She looked into my eyes and whispered,
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAcHyt7uvbe
> "Go save the world, hero."
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9UZhrrVLn4
She hugged me tightly. And in that moment, I realized how much I owed her.
Since Amma's passing... she had been my anchor. She took care of our family while I ran around chasing shadows and saving souls.
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5OeD8wvlIg
We both knew we had feelings for each other.
But we never said it.
Because we both felt... it wasn't the time yet.
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDmfTOnF5Mx
I nodded and left with Martin.
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ789O8rDKCv
As we walked out of the hospital, my phone ra

ng again.
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ06YLFn6PeV
It was Jagan.
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVBgqr0JEkq
His voice was urgent.
