I flipped through my books like a madman, every page dragging me closer to the truth. And then, I saw it. The symbol on the box - the one from Babu's room and from my dreams - it matched.
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBZUk8raSRB
It was the seal of an ancient cult, banned centuries ago. Known for their dark magic, they believed that mind control could be enhanced through rituals and child sacrifice. In return, the followers believed they'd be blessed with unimaginable wealth and power. A chill ran down my spine.

Then, Martin called.
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkmKEENL0nQ
> "Yugan! We found him. Babu is alive."
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQjGfMFEHJ2
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8iBrUXEhcN
"No! Don't go yet," I told him. "We don't know if he's mastered that mind control trick. He might be one of them - a true believer."
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXozv0MBwZr
I told Martin to wait. My Trisula pendant had a protective spell, an old charm passed down to counter such dark influence. I wore it and left my flat. This wasn't over. Not even close.

An officer near Ampang Point had spotted a motorcycle that matched Babu's. Martin and I geared up immediately. Two more officers joined for backup.
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsJGHdXdex6
Just as we were leaving, Martin's phone rang.
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOGUlmHgnJS
> "Moli's missing."
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb4ir1gAchc
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk20Ou9SuZJ
It was Ravana.
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEjO6nq8I5h
> "She was supposed to wait outside the school gate, but... she's not there. I can't find her."

My heart dropped. Babu. It had to be him.

📍 Tenby School, Cheras
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDA2FHAAeGT
We questioned the guards and staff. The school's guard said he saw Moli walk out towards the bus stop - her usual routine. That was the last anyone saw her.
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ01nyHrZ69f
We had no time to waste. Babu had Moli. And if the cult's beliefs were true, the child wasn't just in danger - she was a sacrifice.
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOzRUBVkUUK
Ravana promised to check her friend's house, just in case Moli went there.

296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpgzvKSxaDT
After hours of searching every street, alley, and CCTV feed, a breakthrough. An officer called in - he found the same motorcycle parked outside a small, abandoned house.
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpJNV68kv3M
We rushed there.
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9pBF9HkIwc
The front door was locked. Martin didn't hesitate - he kicked it down.
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBQtiKsLbja
And inside... was a scene from a nightmare.
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZojo1mp32F
Babu stood in the center of the room, wearing a yellow raincoat, holding a long, blood-stained knife. Moli was chained to a wooden table, unconscious but breathing. On the nearby table, the Korean mask. The same one we saw from the murders. The same one from Shabana's scene.
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAHlQDBLoYq
Symbols of the cult were painted on the walls in red - some still dripping. In the corner of the room, a small altar, with candles, a mirror, and the same mind control box.
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCGfzE3mzpW
I took one step forward, and Babu lunged at Martin, roaring.
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv8s8gaAk8Y
I tackled him just in time.
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWoPa7PAcYC
In the scuffle, Babu pulled out a gun - and before any of us could react, he put it under his chin and...
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIYh6KG3ZHr
BANG!
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5EBdx0vhdc
It was over.
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy4oHCp07hd
But was it?

We saved Moli. Ravana came and hugged her tight, crying. Her voice shook as she whispered, "Thank you," over and over.
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnimP6JwExO
But for Martin and me, the ending didn't feel like a victory.
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvKJosMCoy7
We had photographs. Proof that Babu killed the missing children from the Penang orphanage. The raincoat, the mask - it all pointed to him.
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDvaNiHjAxS
We assumed he killed Shabana too.
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOwJwgZ2hqb
But the biggest question echoed in our minds:
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrjU4yuiag7
> Why?
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5CEEqyPu0h
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQrcVCc7eYp
Why would a man kill the girl he raised like a daughter?
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ2yN6mwsOQ
Why would he do this after protecting her for years?
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9c8RHzAFPV
Was it madness? Was it the cult's influence? Or was there another truth buried even deeper?
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxSP9Tbs4tw
The game wasn't over.
