📍 Sri Hartamas Shoplots, Kuala Lumpur
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtnAPiiNrsm
Martin and I reached the room upstairs, tucked between old shoplots. The place looked abandoned, but the door was locked from inside.
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAvYGEz4pwq
We broke in.
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa2GNJfpwtE
The air inside was stale, but not old. There were traces that someone had lived here recently-pillows slightly warm, a cup with dried tea stains, and footsteps on the dusty floor. The room was empty... but not silent. It whispered secrets.
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6X6ugfstjJ
We searched every corner, every creaking drawer and loose floorboard. That's when I found it-a hidden drawer beneath a rusty table.
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGgbtKKc7rA
Inside it, we found:
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbvqq5UJOL2
A stack of old photographs
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH56ILP0nnt
A small wooden box - the very one I had seen in my dreams
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ39h6ediuPW
An aged diary with "Mohanbabu" written on the inner page
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr6pGrTaspQ
The logo on the box made my heart stop. I had seen it before-but I couldn't place where. Not yet. Not here. Something was pulling at the back of my mind.
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZBq65UVr5z
Martin opened the diary and we both sat on the cold floor, reading page by page.

📓 Babu's Diary
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4sv70E3Js6
Inside the first few pages was a photo-The Slayer.
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQgTj0kx5Nf
But he wasn't alone.
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx7RyqfZ2gL
Beside him stood Babu, and a smiling pregnant woman - Lakshmi, The Slayer's wife.
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGF0bXCOrJB
We read on.
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrK99uFGAxS
Babu was once a car mechanic in Kedah. Anand, later known as The Slayer, was a cheerful driver who worked at the same workshop. They were more than friends-brothers by choice, bonded after losing their parents in a tragic accident.
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuWNMAUpI8c
Then came Lakshmi.
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvO6YV745WO
A kind factory cleaner. She loved Anand. They got married. And for the first time in years, both Anand and Babu felt like they had a family again. Lakshmi loved them both equally, like her own.
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqEtT4AuOMW
Later, Lakshmi gave birth to twin girls - Shabana and Ravana.
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQnnsClcPGc
To support the family, she worked part-time in rich homes as a maid. Anand dreamed of starting his own transport business, but money was always tight. Still, their small world was beautiful.
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWgBkWyULOx
Until it shattered.
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnyL3SuOTCf
One day, Lakshmi went to pick up the girls from school. On the way, she noticed Anand's car parked outside a rich woman's house. Curious and confused, she walked in.
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvMYnlldmAg
What she saw broke her soul.
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoUHHa7pBpZ
Anand. In bed. With another woman. A wealthy one.
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ152lP4mXb2
Lakshmi didn't scream. She didn't fight. She just went home, packed, and left with the girls. She never told Anand what she saw. She just filed for divorce and refused to explain anything to him.
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEB1M56K5dj
The court gave one child to each parent - Shabana to Anand, Ravana to Lakshmi.
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPUxkkmYJfh
Months passed. Babu and Anand finally discovered the truth. The rich woman wasn't just a seductress.
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0WMHmCEzLE
She was a magician - skilled in mind control.
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAc4wkva4Sb
She used a sinister trick: a mirror ritual that calmed the mind and planted trigger words deep inside the subconscious. Anand was a victim. She'd used him. Controlled him.
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS8LtuWUrTG
Anand snapped.
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw6yvRpOP3Z
One night, enraged, he stormed into the woman's house and stabbed her to death with a long knife.
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPlQbpi6Eua
That moment, Anand was no more.
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0BYCbQ6zvt
The Slayer was born.
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9jduk9s7Lb

252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSXc4sJ0YjR
He found the woman's mirror. Her book of hypnosis rituals. Her secrets.
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf71kLjrUqw
He studied them. Practiced them. Mastered them.
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXf9Z87C9C1
And when he saw her face on the newspaper's front page, glorified in death, something twisted in him. Every time he saw a rich person's face on a newspaper, he became enraged.
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQU4aZjdg1d
And so began the murders. One by one.
Eleven victims. Three years. All rich. All powerful. All dead.
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoKGAakEftR
All by The Slayer.
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYe2nPHPd10

252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAo2oLBBn2K
Babu stayed silent. He knew something was wrong, but he didn't dare interfere. Until Lakshmi died from illness. And Ravana was sent to live with Anand.
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwtDnI4u6RT
Soon after, Babu discovered the truth.
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBPAB2wXxK5
Anand was abusing the girls.
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjLpTDsNkOt
That broke him.
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXDMa4tZ8je
He approached Detective Kannan, shared everything. Anand was arrested.
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdTKhMduffd
That night, Babu saw only a monster inside the police van-not the brother he once loved.
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNXRk8GJoUf
Babu wanted to protect the girls. He believed Ravana was better off with her aunt, but he feared for Shabana.
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUi7MaI4gOU
He saw her being slapped. Ignored. Treated like a stranger.
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrhFvGlt18L
So Babu made a choice.
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTxboIode0C
He rescued Shabana, and raised her like his own daughter.
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBwPLXilyGO
He helped her become a teacher in an orphanage, and used political connections to get a job as a school security guard-just to stay close and protect her.
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfXB6CAuCrA
Everything he did... was for her.
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4t6mZiEMt9
But then... the diary ended.
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDsfFB5yzKj
The final pages were torn out.
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdyWGHgQpNi
And the small wooden box-still sealed. No key. No way in.
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3iCPS6guna
I held the box tightly. The logo burned into my memory again.
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDWzmYpH2n3
I needed answers. I needed to check my old books back at home.
Martin decided to head to the police station to begin tracking Babu.
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWL0I0ElXlR
We both agreed on one thing:
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN8Pdrm1NU1
Whoever killed Shabana...
Babu knows something.
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh5jlcsdnYt
And now, we were running out of time.
