After the incident, Ismail leaned toward Inspector Hashim and whispered:
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGRbv8RHrT9
"Why did you make a convict like him a police officer?"
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiwKRjM5tlt
Hashim let out a deep sigh.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ43XHiGqOwm
"Because he has an extraordinary intellect, Ismail. It would be a waste to let his talents go unused."
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw1IMrGyKNn
Then the inspector added:
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpNFtj737cn
"And starting today, he’s your investigation partner for the Kampung Mesra case."
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnEfkpRC3S7
Once again, the station erupted with noise.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOJHefzIsgM
"Why pair Detective Ismail with a murderer? What if that convict causes trouble in the village?"
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhF7Pes0Okq
Inspector Hashim shouted over the chaos:
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY1m2AKzgQ1
"Enough! Calm down!"
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4HYK4Lc1Aw
He stared at each one of them.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQS1GmTyv4X
"Asaad is human... just like us. Don’t judge him solely by his past."
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSJ0a8AbJvD
Silence filled the room.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ46tvyA9v2Q
Hashim then led Ismail and Asaad into his office. There, speaking in a quiet voice, he whispered to Ismail:
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO1NjMRPggf
"I know he was once a murderer. But he’s still human. It’s just... there’s one problem — he changes when he sees a lot of blood. Asaad has two personalities. And when there’s too much blood, the other one takes over."
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWbif21NskL
Ismail was shocked to hear that.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsHgQfOWTFt
"I only ask one thing from you, Ismail. Watch over him. Don’t let him sink into that other side of himself. Maybe... just maybe, Asaad can help you find out who killed your wife and child."
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGrg1hZ7ej4
Ismail fell silent at those words.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPeoy3MNqJh
After that, Inspector Hashim began explaining what had been happening in Kampung Mesra.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj7vJglAi4w
“Kampung Mesra. Recently, we received messages and photos from an anonymous sender... claiming that many deaths have occurred there. But strangely, not a single official report has been filed by the villagers.”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqjGjrre5Nw
Ismail examined the photos one by one — all appeared to be sudden, unexplained deaths.
But what disturbed him most were the faces of the deceased… all showing an expression of overwhelming terror.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHcn76sb0gp
He looked through the photos again.
An old man lay on the kitchen floor — his eyes wide open, as if he’d seen something horrifying before dying.
A teenage girl was found by the river — her face pale, lips blue, and scratch marks visible on her arm.
The third photo showed a young woman collapsed in her living room, her hands clutching her chest tightly, as if trying to protect herself from something invisible.

“Their faces... it’s like they saw a ghost,” Ismail said quietly.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9rXIZ35XQv
Hashim nodded.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYhaWctiWn1
“That’s what’s bothering me. All these bodies were sent by the same person — the anonymous sender, ‘Anonym’.”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7cDlFbRjEH
Asaad remained silent, quietly watching, a faint smile still on his face.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ03c3DgCIvL
Hashim continued, “I want both of you to head down to Kampung Mesra. Gather information. Talk to the villagers. But one thing…”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSPRx1hRGSv
He looked directly at Asaad.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsAilZ7YOo8
“Don’t let him see too much blood.”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGR0T3qOzur
Asaad simply shrugged.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKnWh2VsFyk
Ismail remained silent. In his mind, questions twisted and tangled.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD9FWIBMB3p
Who really is Asaad?
What exactly is happening in Kampung Mesra?
And how could he help me find who killed my wife and child?
