After the incident, Ismail leaned toward Inspector Hashim and whispered:
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpbzibMHNqo
"Why did you make a convict like him a police officer?"
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2tzeiAWadb
Hashim let out a deep sigh.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTxLjhcT6v1
"Because he has an extraordinary intellect, Ismail. It would be a waste to let his talents go unused."
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMG9ZFbxiIR
Then the inspector added:
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy5u8C8Ys6M
"And starting today, he’s your investigation partner for the Kampung Mesra case."
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJCgttrrMzB
Once again, the station erupted with noise.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTHaIzEmjv1
"Why pair Detective Ismail with a murderer? What if that convict causes trouble in the village?"
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdvkKyyNxv0
Inspector Hashim shouted over the chaos:
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAQVHX9TuLd
"Enough! Calm down!"
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZRo9Z5QfpZ
He stared at each one of them.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNZ9D015Tw6
"Asaad is human... just like us. Don’t judge him solely by his past."
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyYmzOOeyUK
Silence filled the room.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYW3aLadj0j
Hashim then led Ismail and Asaad into his office. There, speaking in a quiet voice, he whispered to Ismail:
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOAMvrTBwEs
"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."
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9C2TKFBY64
Ismail was shocked to hear that.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAbmOKUdLPY
"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."
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3XHaCTEUGk
Ismail fell silent at those words.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTwGVKLxcew
After that, Inspector Hashim began explaining what had been happening in Kampung Mesra.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIwVbph9XjX
“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.”
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo6TnRLNH8U
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.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwGIton1OT2
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.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjkBWWJrjde
Hashim nodded.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEcikESluhb
“That’s what’s bothering me. All these bodies were sent by the same person — the anonymous sender, ‘Anonym’.”
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtsLZO5lcun
Asaad remained silent, quietly watching, a faint smile still on his face.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTmL14KnGvw
Hashim continued, “I want both of you to head down to Kampung Mesra. Gather information. Talk to the villagers. But one thing…”
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKiia6gu4bB
He looked directly at Asaad.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIZ2i8l5Gee
“Don’t let him see too much blood.”
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxPw1ZWGpjN
Asaad simply shrugged.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl8pqhjgmXA
Ismail remained silent. In his mind, questions twisted and tangled.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkvJJTqonMz
Who really is Asaad?
What exactly is happening in Kampung Mesra?
And how could he help me find who killed my wife and child?
