(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."
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt2LgDydABh
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...
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhTBu0UlNX5
"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."
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpIlPTMrctu
Forensic Doctor Chen's pen suddenly stopped on the notebook, and the ink spread out to form a small dot.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5iVmKCOKsE
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——
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHLrzNLJNP1
**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.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡacqkenpX3q
**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.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmtk7jc841d
**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.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡivJVI7PEEx
"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!"
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMcipJ4DQ9l
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.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0pqKuihQFC
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."
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7VzRdwH8YG
"They're still using the same excuses."
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUhzRWQcvNp
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.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOuLLXJCNiG
"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."
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOcdMWS4SbF
Mo Lingxiao touched the image of the third victim, and suddenly felt a sharp pain in his fingertips——
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD8H0WQwCVc
**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!
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZJRZp20v2h
"It's not a medical accident." He pulled his hand back, blood oozing from his fingertips. "It was a syringe hidden in the brooch."
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWh7eJdMVKT
Su Rui suddenly grabbed his wrist. Her light brown pupils shrank slightly under the lamp: "Your earrings."
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwW3IeWAYo1
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.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrhmgQjn74T
"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."
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsxr4tfCzcO
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.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvxcdVCfjjM
(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..."
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK1YZPzFiWr
"I'm not a rookie." Su Rui's voice came, "The E3 entrance monitoring has been replaced."
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVtbFBFYWnu
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.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtfBD3tPSPP
**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!
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhpxITrhhpX
"Sir?" The blonde manager Vivian supported him, her red lips raised in a dangerous arc, "The VIP area is upstairs."
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdLvHlIyATv
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.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVwKr0rHC4X
"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.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5iTk1Et2eO
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.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡINmMaUdrIW
"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..."
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIUCjcW2hqa
The silver knife pierced through her chest, and the runes on the blade emitted a blazing white light.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP6SiEpddGa
"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."
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF33meXWAAT
(Final) The truth in the ashes
Inside the safe house, Su Rui used tweezers to remove metal fragments from Vivian's ashes.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVpnDLz0YbV
"Microchip, part number 42." She placed the fragment into the analyzer. "And this..."
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwMLjVl4JfD
An incomplete list appeared on the projection screen, with the first line clearly visible: [Prototype No. 13: Empath (Status: Active)]
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡujqBEJmehi
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?"
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc3N0OkbPEk
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.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd0Q9Vtw4do
"Seven years and four months," she said, her voice terribly calm. "Since the first day he hired me."
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN4jz8oMcH3
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."
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡORR4bvgsJC
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..."
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9avUQr2gOK
Mo Lingxiao's earrings suddenly exploded, and the fragments formed a holographic image of Dracula in the air: "Welcome home, Experiment No. 13."
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP94A309HAh
The heavy rain outside the window continued. The final words of the mother's hologram echoed in the room:
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCbYLKQr0gY
"Don't ever let Him have your tears."
