(Part 1) Awakening of Superpowers
Rain trickled down the glass windows of the police station's interrogation room. Seventeen-year-old Mo Lingxiao stared at the pearl earrings in the evidence bag. The bloodstains on the hook had oxidized and turned black, forming strange spiral patterns under the cold light.

"Confirm one last time." Forensic doctor Chen Ming pushed his glasses up and tapped his pen on the notebook in a rhythmic pattern. "The bureau needs a final report."
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡksF2zFE6xC
The boy's fingertips hovered over the evidence bag. The memory of three months ago suddenly came to life - that rainy night when he came home from school and found his mother slumped in front of the dressing table, and all the clocks were strangely stopped at 3:17. The police report said "suicide", but the blood splattered from the mirror...
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhBhZijhxFr
"The hook is bent in the wrong direction." Mo Lingxiao's voice was hoarse, "My mother is used to wearing it with the opening facing inwards."
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr5cPWfpWmi
Forensic Doctor Chen's pen suddenly stopped on the notebook, and the ink spread out to form a small dot.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ07jLVe0F6v
At the moment when the boy's fingertips touched the metal hook, the fluorescent lights in the interrogation room flickered violently. Mo Lingxiao's vision seemed to be torn open by a crack——
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz85ufHYZlP
**First memory**: My mother is sitting at her dressing table, her pearl earrings swaying gently to the rhythm of the song she is humming. The clock in the mirror showed 3:05, and the second hand was moving regularly.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9H1xHtv4gJ
**Second mutation**: Ripples appeared on the mirror surface. The mother's movements in reality were frozen, but the reflection in the mirror continued to move - the hand in the black glove was slowly taking off the pearl earring from her left ear.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkVW2utTihn
**The third truth**: A pitch-black claw stretched out from the mirror, and the moment the canine teeth pierced the neck, blood splattered on the mirror surface into the shape of a bat. The real earrings were swapped, and the replacements had tiny runes engraved on the inside of the hooks.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ69TIfmue9
"It's not suicide!" Mo Lingxiao leaned back suddenly, and warm liquid flowed out of his nasal cavity. He pointed to the evidence bag and said tremblingly: "The murderer put this earring there!"
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7RyfBFeYUH
Forensic Doctor Chen suddenly closed the file book, and the sound of metal buckles clashing exploded in the room. "Case closed. Suicide." When he stood up, Mo Lingxiao clearly saw a trace of silver powder on the cuffs of the other party's white coat - exactly the same as the one found on his mother's dressing table.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd2Fx2FQbif
No one noticed that the bloodstains on the evidence bag were wriggling strangely and gradually condensing into the shape of a miniature bat.

(Chinese) Nightclub Mystery
On a rainy night seven years later, 29-year-old Mo Lingxiao woke up from a nightmare. The front page of the Morning Post on the desk read: "The fifth bizarre death from blood loss, experts say it may be related to medical devices."
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDFTwgpplH1
"They're still using the same excuses."
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9SQTdkgwoB
A clear female voice wafted in along with the aroma of coffee. Su Rui placed the mug next to the detector, rain water dripping from the ends of her ponytail. The former chief assistant forensic doctor of the police department is now his partner and the only person who knows his secret.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtDhDfVF1N5
"All the dead have the same features." She called up the holographic projection, and close-ups of the necks of five corpses were suspended in the air. "Puncture wounds with a spacing of 2.5 centimeters. Silver ion residue was detected at the edges of the wounds."
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdXopAgmbqu
Mo Lingxiao touched the image of the third victim, and suddenly felt a sharp pain in his fingertips——
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI2bv3MQnQS
**Empathetic picture**:
- From a bird's-eye view, the woman in the red dress staggered into the alley.
- The silver bat brooch on her chest was vibrating at a high frequency, and dark red liquid was oozing from the edges of its wings.
- When the attacker's nails scratched her neck, Mo Lingxiao saw that they were not nails, but micro-injection needles!
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ30qvhDPzE1
"It's not a medical accident." He pulled his hand back, blood oozing from his fingertips. "It was a syringe hidden in the brooch."
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWzqDHbD30S
Su Rui suddenly grabbed his wrist. Her light brown pupils shrank slightly under the lamp: "Your earrings."
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7QlPLD6Usl
Only then did Mo Lingxiao realize that the silver earring on his left ear was getting hot, and a bat pattern exactly the same as that on the deceased's neck appeared on its surface. This was a relic left to him by his mother, but now it was pulsating like a living thing.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeHthKW206K
"Blood Moon nightclub." Su Rui checked the surveillance video and saw the blonde manager Vivian putting a brooch on the deceased. "All the victims ended up going here."
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGqVGayPXII
Thunder exploded outside the window. In the reflection of the glass, the seventeen-year-old boy seemed to still be sitting in the police station's interrogation room, staring at the blood-stained pearl earring.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmGPmk4jicw
(Next) Bloody Judgment**
The neon sign of Blood Moon turned into a bloody puddle in the heavy rain. Mo Lingxiao adjusted the in-ear communicator: "Remember, as long as you confirm the brooch..."
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoZj1DKBroG
"I'm not a rookie." Su Rui's voice came, "The E3 entrance monitoring has been replaced."
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHy5MXc8909
The nightclub was filled with the sweet smell of perfume and alcohol. Mo Lingxiao pretended to be a drunk and bumped into the bartender, touching his badge while he was being supported.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGV8W0nmfUy
**Forced empathy**:
- The basement scene came flooding in: dozens of glass capsules arranged in a ring.
- The central crystal coffin is connected to a blood vessel-like tube, and the young man in the coffin suddenly opens his eyes—that face is clearly himself thirty years later!
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgpS9Br5e0J
"Sir?" The blonde manager Vivian supported him, her red lips raised in a dangerous arc, "The VIP area is upstairs."
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡskCyCckkAJ
Her canine teeth flashed a cold light, and her nails accidentally scratched the back of Mo Lingxiao's neck. The old scar under my collarbone suddenly began to burn, as if being pressed by a branding iron.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5z1cZHJ8pa
"Don't look into her eyes!" Su Rui's warning sounded at the same time as the sound of glass breaking. Vivian's nails suddenly grew three inches long, and the metallic luster shone coldly in the dark.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJS2zn5OKSt
Mo Lingxiao knocked over the wine cabinet, and broken bottles flew everywhere. When the liquid splashed onto Vivian's arm, her skin immediately corroded and smoked - it was not alcohol, but Su Rui's specially made holy water concentrate.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6X2RJJrGvC
"A trick of the Night Watch." Vivian tore off the human skin mask, revealing her true face covered with silver veins. "Do you think Lord Dracula would allow..."
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ73fIbBd8dG
The silver knife pierced through her chest, and the runes on the blade emitted a blazing white light.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIqMisHppKr
"You talk too much." The woman in black walked out from the shadows, drew her sword and dropped drops of blood. The silver scar under her left eye stood out against the neon lights: "Nice to meet you, Detective Mo. I'm Lin Ye."
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡExcYFiFcE1
(Final) The truth in the ashes
Inside the safe house, Su Rui used tweezers to remove metal fragments from Vivian's ashes.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKIKNaIXM0i
"Microchip, part number 42." She placed the fragment into the analyzer. "And this..."
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOy1UOfQo9t
An incomplete list appeared on the projection screen, with the first line clearly visible: [Prototype No. 13: Empath (Status: Active)]
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYN1QBGt5qh
Lin Ye suddenly put the tip of his knife against Su Rui's back: "L-07, how long have you been hiding this from him?"
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJOY5uaj9kV
The air froze instantly. The sleeves of Su Rui's white coat slipped down, revealing the barcode on the inside of her wrist - exactly the same as the number on the list.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjfJ8bHMQOf
"Seven years and four months," she said, her voice terribly calm. "Since the first day he hired me."
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUQsbhjAdOD
Lin Ye sneered and put away the knife, then threw a metal box to Mo Lingxiao: "Take a look at your mother's true last words."
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtB7OJ4X7J6
The holographic projection in the box unfolded, and a young woman stood in the laboratory, holding a baby in her arms: "If you see this record, it means the experiment was successful. Ling Xiao, you are not a monster, you are the key..."
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp4mHmuSEKa
Mo Lingxiao's earrings suddenly exploded, and the fragments formed a holographic image of Dracula in the air: "Welcome home, Experiment No. 13."
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVqBjzVxcJc
The heavy rain outside the window continued. The final words of the mother's hologram echoed in the room:
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOL2MRnEQ9z
"Don't ever let Him have your tears."
