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.
376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYhDcPnaWf5
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
376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhFLgM29sj7
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.
376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuGtU52mXvA
"Let me guess... another case?" he grinned.
376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXRnq1YDgTi
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.
376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEbA2KAsuhD
As we ate, I told Martin about last night's dream.
376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpu68nMICqn
The woman.
The scream.
And the tattoo of a pigeon on her right leg.
376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG78a5MZjYg
He paused. "Have you seen her in real life yet?"
376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnNPqWKeGT1
I shook my head. "Not yet."
376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQIM1Wd0D7P
Martin leaned back. His expression turned serious.
"Then you already know what this means."
376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMKVE30HnN2
We did. After all these years, some things had become clear - and terrifying.
376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6YHgQULF45
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.
376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYhW90vP7v5
If they didn't, something was wrong.
Blocked.
Trapped.
Maybe even attacked by the demons that preyed on lost souls.
376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkkBtoWn0r5
These creatures weren't random. They were sent by someone -
An ancient sorcerer. A being of immense power. A shadow behind the curtain.
376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbX6u6Jl9SY
We only knew him as The Conqueror.
He lived in a mirror world, sealed and cursed, yet his reach slipped into ours.
376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjmEopdlFaV
We still didn't know why he targeted souls here. Why only Malaysians? Or those who died in this country?
376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdKETK5I08I
But we did know how to fight back.
376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJDDeELqBdI
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.
376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡejgX3O07Xp
But there's a catch.
376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSOK0NM0AfM
Every time we do this, we only get seven days.
Seven days to solve the case.
Or the soul is lost forever.
376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY4nM0UiZoR
Until now, we've never let the Conqueror win.
376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVrwIWdwy5N
Martin called the police control room to check if there were any suicidal cases reported yesterday. While we waited for updates, my phone buzzed.
376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMyeQ4aIqXA
It was a call from my sister.

📍Hospital Pantai, Cheras
376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpIynjhdG3Q
Martin and I rushed to the emergency ward.
376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXvFAmdbKUP
My sister was there. So was Kayal.
Her eyes were full of tears.
376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5kXWjJqKyb
She told me what had happened.
376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt9EbEaqDHQ
My father had suffered a heart attack.
Not his first.
He had been a heart patient for years - and we had no idea.
376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa3wgFnJ1yv
He had kept it a secret. Even from me and my sister.
376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4HXRi3CfTD
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.
376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9yhYxjyWnZ
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."
376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡosDXidRUUL
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.
376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ83ENuFJlJR
Kayal offered to stay and take care of everything. My sister agreed to stay with her.
376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7JJmTuf79x
Martin and I prepared to leave. There was still a mission waiting for us.
But just before I stepped out, Kayal pulled me aside.
376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb6waW5GNpD
She apologized for keeping the truth from me.
I told her it was okay. I understood.
376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqvWZxivxxt
Then I told her about the new case.
376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdZ7kkOC93j
She looked into my eyes and whispered,
376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNIgpCzuC5R
> "Go save the world, hero."
376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkp7UZsh5oL
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.
376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVGx6lqn7UJ
We both knew we had feelings for each other.
But we never said it.
Because we both felt... it wasn't the time yet.
376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCLUYDzpiax
I nodded and left with Martin.
376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8PJOdtrwbO
As we walked out of the hospital, my phone ra

ng again.
376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCudD5wF7Ts
It was Jagan.
376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW5wAPPxqI8
His voice was urgent.
