I went to meet Jagan at his house, bringing along my latest drawings. He had a class to attend, but he promised to join us later. Before I left, I asked him about a project he had been working on.
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv19dZI10js
Jagan always believed that science could be just as powerful as spirituality in our missions. Inspired by movies like Ghostbusters, he had built all kinds of gadgets. Some worked. Some didn't. But more than once, his inventions had saved our lives.

Even if his methods were a little crazy, I trusted his heart.

📍 Restoran Nasi Kandar Di Naina, KL
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyWcxH6zyqr
I met Martin at his usual breakfast spot - a humble Nasi Kandar joint tucked between shoplots. He was halfway through his roti canai banjir with teh tarik when he saw me walk in.
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwFe7YEXl5S
"Let me guess... another case?" he grinned.
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIh9Wfs4cvM
I ordered the same and sat down beside him, unrolling my sketchbook.
I had recently mastered realistic portrait drawing - a skill that helped me capture my dreams exactly as I saw them. Every line told a story. Every shadow whispered something hidden.
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIkzrgHvGk4
As we ate, I told Martin about last night's dream.
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlMAeupJ9XN
The woman.
The scream.
And the tattoo of a pigeon on her right leg.
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡETj7zd8hE8
He paused. "Have you seen her in real life yet?"
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIOkZjRcJF3
I shook my head. "Not yet."
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr3vJ3dsRGo
Martin leaned back. His expression turned serious.
"Then you already know what this means."
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM9s4alRNBd
We did. After all these years, some things had become clear - and terrifying.
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMfzKMJFvv1
The people I saw in my dreams were real.
They were going to die exactly the way I saw.
And once they died, they'd come looking for me... within six hours.
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiSZGZ3RSYQ
If they didn't, something was wrong.
Blocked.
Trapped.
Maybe even attacked by the demons that preyed on lost souls.
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTey0Elw2XF
These creatures weren't random. They were sent by someone -
An ancient sorcerer. A being of immense power. A shadow behind the curtain.
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyO5y7KszNQ
We only knew him as The Conqueror.
He lived in a mirror world, sealed and cursed, yet his reach slipped into ours.
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwrwNMnuChQ
We still didn't know why he targeted souls here. Why only Malaysians? Or those who died in this country?
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1MJ90QeSB1
But we did know how to fight back.
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6GBys8ZuN9
When a soul is blocked, I must use the Chakran - a magical mask that allows me to meditate and see their most important personal object. Once we track it within 24 hours, I can use my Thrisula pendant to call them back from the demon's grip.
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKTtroxAufN
But there's a catch.
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoD85lhJSJH
Every time we do this, we only get seven days.
Seven days to solve the case.
Or the soul is lost forever.
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcv5ZsDrmnu
Until now, we've never let the Conqueror win.
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGbgX8LyaLl
Martin called the police control room to check if there were any suicidal cases reported yesterday. While we waited for updates, my phone buzzed.
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1q0Sk0FUF7
It was a call from my sister.

📍Hospital Pantai, Cheras
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcWsHuEnvdc
Martin and I rushed to the emergency ward.
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKD8FpczVmc
My sister was there. So was Kayal.
Her eyes were full of tears.
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCSzJvIqzpt
She told me what had happened.
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1nyUd4Jh9N
My father had suffered a heart attack.
Not his first.
He had been a heart patient for years - and we had no idea.
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy2PwY1kbd4
He had kept it a secret. Even from me and my sister.
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFdVNLYERa4
Kayal explained that he had made her promise not to tell us until he chose to.
I couldn't believe it. We thought we knew our father... but somehow, we didn't.
Not the way our mother did.
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2DiczHvCrd
Dr. Agilan stepped out of the ward, his voice stern but caring.
"He's safe now. Stable. But that idiot didn't even tell me about his condition either."
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJPqcPgXdVR
He told us our father needed to rest for a few hours before being moved to the ward. We could visit after that. A little relief washed over me. At least he was safe.
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVAOfurlDL0
Kayal offered to stay and take care of everything. My sister agreed to stay with her.
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnoBy5n9AwN
Martin and I prepared to leave. There was still a mission waiting for us.
But just before I stepped out, Kayal pulled me aside.
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCpqnhYLAK3
She apologized for keeping the truth from me.
I told her it was okay. I understood.
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKhK56T7LdS
Then I told her about the new case.
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrhdwmfrKq4
She looked into my eyes and whispered,
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXYfpxlj4AC
> "Go save the world, hero."
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0p9HGSVQMr
She hugged me tightly. And in that moment, I realized how much I owed her.
Since Amma's passing... she had been my anchor. She took care of our family while I ran around chasing shadows and saving souls.
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8tXJnwlCs3
We both knew we had feelings for each other.
But we never said it.
Because we both felt... it wasn't the time yet.
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiIWtnsY79h
I nodded and left with Martin.
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcbPKEnZZT5
As we walked out of the hospital, my phone ra

ng again.
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAVTwTqBQN0
It was Jagan.
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJg1GBAAK7G
His voice was urgent.
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs7VSxnENRF
