After the incident, Ismail leaned toward Inspector Hashim and whispered:
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmAlxCULFFU
"Why did you make a convict like him a police officer?"
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpMBmznX3x8
Hashim let out a deep sigh.
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFqiFkuw4uy
"Because he has an extraordinary intellect, Ismail. It would be a waste to let his talents go unused."
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeLrPqV3vrT
Then the inspector added:
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeCX9oDGiJJ
"And starting today, he’s your investigation partner for the Kampung Mesra case."
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLYL7i6E6z3
Once again, the station erupted with noise.
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZRHVyMjlDD
"Why pair Detective Ismail with a murderer? What if that convict causes trouble in the village?"
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrbX5h9v3Eh
Inspector Hashim shouted over the chaos:
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSjIzXRKss8
"Enough! Calm down!"
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTmT8x0ayDl
He stared at each one of them.
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhKfJy4KN7U
"Asaad is human... just like us. Don’t judge him solely by his past."
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgnyDoXAHes
Silence filled the room.
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9MAWGiF1mE
Hashim then led Ismail and Asaad into his office. There, speaking in a quiet voice, he whispered to Ismail:
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqELYteGsCw
"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."
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwPCpeS4OZz
Ismail was shocked to hear that.
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrN1UYa8geE
"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."
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyQbmdPF1Ag
Ismail fell silent at those words.
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq3EtZUSwfC
After that, Inspector Hashim began explaining what had been happening in Kampung Mesra.
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb53uDYMgPh
“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.”
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpjP3lzgEcW
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.
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXDwDb9p2hq
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.
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkvfJnzHzZO
Hashim nodded.
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4JB8dziRtU
“That’s what’s bothering me. All these bodies were sent by the same person — the anonymous sender, ‘Anonym’.”
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSjXCM5abOx
Asaad remained silent, quietly watching, a faint smile still on his face.
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCQOSa6jPUb
Hashim continued, “I want both of you to head down to Kampung Mesra. Gather information. Talk to the villagers. But one thing…”
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiJcbPPMXwN
He looked directly at Asaad.
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU6HI3ffvb9
“Don’t let him see too much blood.”
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB8HjIvqb3e
Asaad simply shrugged.
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTtEvVi78KA
Ismail remained silent. In his mind, questions twisted and tangled.
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiAINQpYqxS
Who really is Asaad?
What exactly is happening in Kampung Mesra?
And how could he help me find who killed my wife and child?
