As the video got viral the more people came into Kyle's stream it was unbelievable as the more people kept flooding in.
"Is he the guy who sang it? why can't I see his face?"
"Show your face!"
"Show! Show!"
Many people immediately asking for him, because of the cheap laptop Kyle had he can't fit in the camera and if he is too far away, his singing would be weak, so Kyle adjust the camera and showed his face, he smiled and said "Hello Everyone", and just like that the people who just came blew up.
"What the... He is too freaking handsome!"
"He is hawt boii!"
"Too Handsome! help! I'm getting pregnant!"
"How can someone be handsome and talented at the same time? is there still equality in this world?!"
"Do you have a Girlfriend?"
Everyone was exploding, Kyle was a very handsome guy! Kyle turned back the camera after that, he doesn't want to be known as a handsome guy, but also as a talented singer, he then started strumming the guitar.
"We were both young when I first saw you
...
Little did you know, that I was Romeo, as I was throwing pebbles, heard your father stay away from Juliet
...
So I said Julie ill take you somewhere we can be alone, just be patient nothing left to do but run
...
Oh its a love story baby just say yes"
The song that Kyle had just sung is Love story who was sang by Taylor Swift and Kyle just changed the perspective to Romeo, everyone who was watching the stream paused after the song then they exploded again, asking for the title of the song, so Kyle just replied "Love Story" and immediately they searched the music and didn't find anything, Another Original all of them exclaimed!
And just like the, I See Fire, the Love Story also became viral and was garnering views at a great speed, Kyle felt that his first stream was successful not just successful but a great success! after that they made Kyle sang the I See Fire again and then after that he closed his streaming, he checked all of the gifts he received and he had earned over 20,000 WC, the streaming platform deducted some and gave Kyle his money, in just a single stream he had earned over a thousand WC, the moment Kyle received it.

When Kyle saw that he completed the missions he excitedly opened the lottery system, there he saw a Roullete and all of the rewards, but the problem was everything was questioned marked, So Kyle had no idea what he would get, but he didn't care, these things are meant to be used! Spin!
Immediately Kyle spun it and after 5 rounds it finally stopped, and of course, it stopped to a question mark.

Kyle then noticed his laptop moved and turned into a watch, "eh? where is my laptop?" the moment he said that the watch turned into a laptop, "Cool!" Kyle exclaimed, its a multi-purpose gadget!
after playing it for a while, Kyle figured it out, it can basically turn into any type of gadgets, from computer to a hologram computer, it was already night when Kyle noticed it was already late, he ate the leftover food he got from the WcClown and started eating, after that he went to sleep.
...
In a company, a music can be heard playing in a room, A female who looked like in her thirties was listening to a song that came out today which was Love Story, she loved the song so much as she remembered her youth days.
...
On another place, a youth was listening to a song called I See Fire, he found it very good too, it was different from all of the songs he had listened, too bad that the audio was low quality but he still loved it "When are they gonna release the official version?" he was expecting for it
...
Kyle woke up in the next morning and did some light work out, his body was strong and he doesn't want to waste it, after doing some light exercise, he then used his Multi-purpose Gadget and turned it into a phone, he then checked his refrigerator and there was still a leftover burger from last night, he then ate while checking the internet and to his surprise, two of of the song he sang yesterday became extremely famous, that even some famous and influential people were asking for the official release.
He then started to read comments.
"I really liked this song but the audio is very low quality, I demand an official release! what is the music industry doing?"
"I listened to it yesterday many times, the song and the singer were good just the audio ruined it."
"I have heard that the singer was extremely handsome, so I checked his stream and wow, amazing! im speechless!"
Kyle felt happy and awkward at the same time, he can't do anything about the audio as at that time he was only using a cheap laptop with no microphone, he just relied on the performance of the cheap laptop, as he was streaming he received a mail on his streaming channel, Kyle then clicked on it.

“Every great dream begins with a dreamer. Always remember, you have within you the strength, the patience, and the passion to reach for the stars to change the world.”

“I Get up every morning and tell myself,‘I can do this.’”

So many times, people told me I can't do this or can't do that. My nature is that I don't listen very well. I'm very determined, and I believe in myself. My parents brought me up that way. Thank God for that. I don't let anything stand in my way.

I closed my eyes to listened carefully, the claps, the cheers, I finally reached it, I am finally, finally!

I am a World Star!

Then I heard my name being called "Please welcome our Star! Kyle Leon!"

deafening roars and cheers calling out my name rang after that.

She started reading the documents and took pictures of what she thought was important. 
She found out some interesting things. Mitchel had bought three ICBM nuclear missiles. He was also the one who funded for the facility in Chiba, where Alex got the treatment. Jessica kept digging further in. 
She thought it was time to check some of the recordings. She played one of them. There was only audio. Mitchel was talking to what sounded like Dr. Watson. They were discussing about rebuilding the facility. Jessica focused all her attention on the recording when she felt something move.
She ignored it and continued to listen. She played the next video where Dr. Watson was assuring Mitchel that he too will get the surgery once it's completely safe, she again felt something move.
Then she felt something touching her back. Unable to ignore, she looked back to it see Mitchel half-asleep touching her back. The sound had woken him up. 
'Jessica...'
He spoke like a ghost. 
'How are you still awake?'
He wasn't supposed to wake up all night. Him waking up now was troublesome and strange.
'Huh? What do you mean? I feel refreshed and energetic.'
'I can see that.'
Jessica gave a superficial smile. He kept getting close to her. He was one more thing other than being refreshed and energetic, he was aroused.
'Come on, Jessica. Let's make love.'
He suddenly grabbed her shoulders and pushed her underneath. It wasn't that Jessica couldn't react, but she was so grossed out by his appearance, she forgot. He started to take off his vest and felt her chest. 
'I-I can't. Um....I'm on my period.'
'That's great. The bloodier, the better!!'
*What kind of f*cked up fetish is that!?* Never in his life, Jason had thought that maybe one day he would be getting harassed. 
Mitchel leaned closer for a passionate kiss. Jason had had enough of this. He grabbed and pulled his arm, making him fall, simultaneously wrapping his legs around his neck.
'Go to sleep.'
He forced him to blackout. Disturbed by what happened, Jason checked to make sure he was out for good this time. Not risking it anymore, seeing the man's vitality was off the chart, he copied everything he needed and exited the room. 
He couldn't stand being near him anymore. It was 3 in the morning, but Jason didn't care. He left a fake number a notepad. The number belonged to the Las Vegas police **** department.
'I...can't…believe….that really happened.'
Alex wheezed. He couldn't stop laughing. Jason had a small camera in the wig that provided audio and video to Alex. Jason sat on a chair, crossed-arm, fighting his embarrassment.
'You're really attractive, you know. How much for an hour? I'll the play extra for blood because the bloodier the…hahahaha.'
Alex laughed uncontrollably at his own joke. Jason began to doubt if his efforts were worth it. He swore to himself that he will never ever do it again, even at the cost of his life. 
Alex gathered his focus and patted Jason on the back.
'Well, all's well that ends well. You did gather the documents and files.'
Jason didn't feel like he accomplished anything other than successfully defiling himself.
'And with its help, we know that there is something underneath Chiba. It might even be the nuclear missiles or the facility got rebuilt again.'
Something was bothering Alex. He couldn't figure out why Jira was doing this. Rather why is it doing it now? He thought capturing him was their primary goal. 
'We are leaving for Japan.'
 Jason said.
'Can it wait till breakfast? I'm starving.'
Jason preferred not to, but he felt hungry as well. Since they had nothing to do for a while, he thought it was about time he asked Alex.
'Alex, could you tell me what that is?'
By that, Jason pointed to a large bird that was on the bed, pecking itself. It wasn't there when they left the hotel last night.
'Oh, that's Felix. He's a falcon. I bought him last night. He's very chill.' 
'I know that he is a falcon. What made you buy him?'
Jason and Alex were on a secret mission. This wasn't the time to fool around and buy a damn falcon, but Alex took that as an insult.
'He isn't just any falcon. He is a trained falcon. These things cost a fortune. I was lucky to get it cheap!'
'How cheap?'
'Only fifty thousand dollars.'
 Alex threw a V sign making it look like he got a steal. 
Jason thought that maybe he should dump Alex and continue on his own. Whether Alex was a genius or an idiot was ambiguous to him. 
After a hearty breakfast, they head out to the airport with Felix in the cage. They got the tickets and were on their way when something stopped them right in their tracks.  
Jason was skeptical of how things were going too smoothly.
'I was wondering where you two disappeared off to.' 
Who stood there was no other than Vanessa.

When an organization that was created after WWII seeks to create the perfect human and starts experimenting on people who were declared a lost cause by the doctors, a certain teenager is randomly chosen for their incomprehensible experiments and finally after many trial and error, with error resulting in “death”, they succeed with him.
After success, he is immediately dragged into his final gruesome tests. With his life on the line without him even realizing, he sets out into the world now with his new life.
Mixed with adventure, action, cleverness, mystery and a touch of comedy, this book may not be the best story out there but it sure is worth your time.

"Be relieve, Irina. I won't kill you, but──"

I looked down at Irina, whose limbs were crushed and groaning.

"There are two conditions. The first is──Confess what you all hero's party have done."
"Confessions...?"

Irina frowned.

"Explain the event two years ago in detail and save it with audio magic. I will spread it around the world."
"Tha, that is──."

Irina turned pale.

"Isn't there high-level priest magic like that? With the power you have, it can be saved as non-duplicatable audio magic. It's the proof that you've spoken yourself."

I looked at Irina.

"If you don't, I'll kill you. okay?"
"Ye, yes ..."

She had no choice.

If she confessed her sins to all over the world──some might believe, some might not, but Irina's reputation would fall.
~ "(This is a Translation Content of pemudatunawisata.my.id)" ~


──As I ordered, Irina recorded the confession of their sins with audio magic and sealed it in a small orb.

"This, this is it..."

An orb was placed on the side of Irina who crawled.

"Shea, take it."
"Yes, Chrome-sama."

Shea picked up that orb and left it in her pocket.
I supposed that this have to be distributed all over the world at the right time.

"Then, the second condition is."

And here was the actual game.
To completed my revenge.

"Be my subordinate"
"Eh...?"

Irina had a confused face.

"I can make the subject as [Subordinate]. Plainly speaking, You are under my control and a part of my power."

The conditions and the skills that could be given had been checked in advance.
In order to finish my revenge on Irina.

"I am, moreover...?"
"Serving once a betrayed lover as a subordinate──isn't that humiliating, Irina? This is my revenge."

"I, I understand. I'll serve Chrome."

Irina bit her lips and nodded.
She was making a look that looked so sad, but I know.

[What, is this your revenge?]

She sneered inside.

[That was cheap if my life is saved]
[I'll lower my head as much as needed]
[If you are going to violate me, please do as much as you want]
(PTW/N: LonT until the DNA..)

I could hear such a voice.

But I was also sneering inside.

Did you think my revenge was enough with just this, Irina?

"Make this woman my [Subordinate]. So she will be excluded from [Fixed Damage]?"

Checked it out with [Darkness].

["That's right. After you making Irina as [Subordinate], [Fixed Damage] will not hurt her. Also, [Subordinate] cannot hurt you."]

[Darkness] answered.

"So, as just I said, make Irina as my [Subordinate]"
["Confirming the master's will. Authorizes Irina Valim as the master's [Subordinate]."]

At the same time, Irina's forehead glowed pale.

A black-purple pattern emerged slightly.
It was a pattern that looked like a heart-shaped.

"Now you are my [Subordinate]. From then on, pledge your loyalty."
"Yes, Chrome──no, I should call you Chrome-sama from now. Please excuse my rudeness."

Irina spoke reverently.
While crawling, she lowered her head and rubbed his forehead against the ground.

"Please order me what you want. I will do whatever I can with your orders."

What a good woman.

"Well then, Let's empower my subordinate."

I told quietly.

"It would be inconvenient if your limbs stay crushed. I'll make it move freely."
"...! Tha, thank you very much"

Irina raised her face.
Her expression was shining.

I was satisfied.

Once the hope had been raised, then fell it down into despair right in the next moment.
That pleasure was.

"Now, come receive this── My [Subordinate] Irina"


I selected a skill that can be given from [Darkness] and gave it to her.

The name of the skill was──.




[Demonic Beastification], that was it.




"Hyaaaaaaaaaaa... gyaaaaaaaaaaaa...!?"

Irina screamed.

The crushed hand grew creepy, and the feet became insect-like arthropods.
Her white, smooth skin was covered by an armor-like exoskeleton.
Her beautiful face became full of wrinkles, turning into a demon-like appearance with an expression of indignation and sadness.

"No... what, this ... noooooooooooooo ..."

Irina kept screaming of despair.

There should be no pain.
However, she must feel the fear and disgust that her own body was replaced by something other than herself and that was an ugly demonic beast.

The beautiful and neat Saintess disappeared from this world.
All that remained was a horrible bloodthirsty monster.

Due to the skill effect, she remained in this form of a demonic beast until she died.

"This is your end, Irina"

I stared at the demonic beast [Subordinate].

"At least like a 'Saintess', dedicate yourself to mankind until you die──I order you to hunt the remnants of the Demon King's army."
"Giiiiiiiiaaaaaaaaaa~ agghhhhuuooooooooooooo~"

That demonic beast, formerly was Irina, barked.

Her consciousness as a human still remained.
But she couldn't speak mankind's words and I couldn't go against my orders.

Irina's human life was over.

From now on, she would continue to fight against the remnants of the Demon King Army.
Until her life run out, according to the instructions I had given.

Her attack power was low, but the regeneration was set to an unusually high type of monster, so she won't die easily.

Despite being hurt by the remnants of the Demon King's army and continuing to suffer, she did not die.
You have to keep fighting, Irina.

With the appearance of a terrifying monster, while maintaining the reason as human──She lamenting in despair.

Chrome was a magician in the hero’s party. He fought the Demon Lord’s army alongside people like Irina, the lover who vowed to marry him in the future, and the hero, Yuno, who was his close friend. They were all close companions.

However, that was only in Chrome’s mind.

His lover, Irina, became intimate with the hero, Yuno, and Chrome was sacrificed to make the hero stronger.

Chrome’s magic powers were snatched away and he was kicked out of the party.

Demons surrounded him as he was on the verge of death and he was driven to a corner. At that moment, Chrome awakened to a “darkness” within himself. Amidst his despair, he acquired an unrivaled skill. Now with this skill, he could exact revenge.

Chapter 567: people are really scheming!

But now that she had made such a fuss, gu kuangen had cheng li post all the recordings he had made online. he had even posted them on other accounts, and had even posted a few @ videos.

Cheng li felt that zhang xiaochun was just not satisfied. he had received more than ten million dollars, and yet, he wasn't willing to accept it. now that the recording was out, everyone who had been sympathetic to her had gone back to scold her until she was in a mess!

"zhang xiaochun, you're such a slut! so you were only interested in the prince's money in the first place!"

"isn't that right? i'm not wrong, am i? that slut was only with him because she was interested in his money!"

"her men are getting richer and richer each time. she only came out to act like a demon after seeing that he was unwilling to give up!"

"it's not right to secretly record the recording, but this woman is really scheming!"

"don't blame others for dumping her! if she's with a man for money, what if she cheats and runs away?"

Zhang xiaochun had just finished washing his face when his weibo account exploded.

She looked at it, and saw that it was all about scolding her. fans who had been sympathetic to her had also accused her of being cheap, and only had eyes for money, and so on.

She clicked on her account and saw the audio clip. when she clicked on it, zhang xiaochun's face went pale!

However, she took a deep breath. after all, she had already been hacked so badly that she wouldn't mind if the other person played the audio clip again!

She just wanted to bombard cai ning online, to make her feel sick, to make her feel restless!

Zhang xiaochun v: that man is the most despicable. he will use you to throw you off with a kick. don't repeat my tragedy, @ shi cai ning!

Shi cai ning didn't respond for a long time.

That was because she was currently working on a proposal. how could she be in the mood to deal with the storm on the internet?

A lot of insulting and disgusting news about her was out of sight and out of mind.

At 7 pm, gu kuangen came back earlier. shi cai ning had just finished eating when she saw him coming back with a tired face. she quickly went up to greet him.

"you're off work so late, have you eaten yet?"

Gu kuangen hung his suit on the clothes rack by the door. when he saw that small face full of concern, he smiled faintly, "no, didn't i rush home for dinner? however, i ate some bread in the company, so i'm not too hungry."

Shi cai ning was speechless. as a grand president, he had actually fallen to the level of eating bread...

"bread is not junk food. it won't be anything. at least my stomach won't hurt. mmm... the dishes tonight are so delicious!" gu kuangen came to the dining table and took a deep breath.

Wasn't this the smell of shi cai ning's dishes?

Shi cai ning sat beside him with a smile. she reached out her hand to rub his tired face, as if she wanted to rub away all the fatigue.

"i've finished the proposal. although it's not too professional, i'm in a good mood, so i've prepared two dishes for you." her soft and boneless hand landed on his shoulder and pinched it, instantly making his whole body tense up.

"little demoness, don't tease me!" gu kuangen took a deep breath. even if her fingers gently touched him, his entire body could not help but tense up.

Shi cai ning smiled lightly, "eat quickly, don't starve!"

Gu kuangen looked at her and smiled affectionately, his smile was devilish, "didn't you say you've made the proposal? let me take a look!"

Shi cai ning blinked, "can you look at it after you've finished eating!"

"no, i want to see the proposal made by my wife right now!" gu kuangen's dark eyes glistened, "let me have a look and see if there are any surprises!"



I'm not your slave, you bastard! She's furious! She's furious! I'm furious! WE'RE BREAKING UP! She's laughing like crazy! We'll discuss this in a hundred years She was her ex boyfriend, mother hated down and out, but he praised her as treasure, when Tsenin, you want my heart, my life, I can give you at any time

THE northwest wind howled fiercely around the Kuching International Airport, bringing light downpour towards the airport runway. The runway surface look little bit wet, slippery but steady.

The moment after Agent 0069 Stephen Harris safely arrived at Kuching, Sarawak one hour thirty minutes later, he welcomed by a middle-aged age man. A middle-aged age man, look like Donald Sunderland in the Hunger Games series, with white beards wearing cheap black raincoat stand in front of black limousine with government agency logo on it.

"Welcome to Kuching, Sarawak Agent 0069 Stephen Harris. My name is Tony." 

A middle-aged man introduced himself. Both of them shaking hands. Tony's eyes were as brown as sandalwood in the middle of the Borneo tropical jungle and there was strength there, a restless, wild wolf-alike force that was almost physically active  and Agent Stephen aware of this body reacting to it. 

"Mr. Tony? Errr.... Tony Stark in Avengers Infinity War?"
Agent 0069 Stephen Harris try to making jokes. He blushing. The rain soaking through his shoulders of his cheap black raincoat.
"Not funny at all, Agent Stephen Harris. Me, the old and ugly version of wolf-wild of Tony Stark. "

Agent Stephen Harris quite shocked with that reaction, but his eyes still control his emotional.
"Double meaning. Typically government people." He whispered.
"Let's go inside the car. We're late now."
"Where you want to take me, Tony?"
Agent 0069 Stephen Harris curious and start to asking Tony while tied up the back of the limousine leather cushion.
"Please don't asking too much. You'll find soon. Don't worry, your safety is under government responsibility."

Black expensive limousine, with grey leather on the seatback, improved with high-end technology display and audio, enhanced by the bullet proof technology, are speeding up towards the new Pan-Borneo Highway, leaving the city of Kuching, Sarawak.

Their travel duration  from Kuching city to Mulu town estimated around 11 hours and 23 minutes via black expensive limousine. Bintulu and Sibu town completely down by vampirism viruses. Airport and other accommodation cannot be used as recently since 2 days ago as the location became a center of vampirism viruses to spread out. People with the red eyes, messed long hair with bloody sharp teeth filled around public transport location, government buildings and other public accommodation.

Here also, the illegal purchasing activities of a radioactive material Cobalt-60, marijuana and kratom at black market. Day to days, their illegal activity become progressively active especially at Sibu town, attracting other vampire to come here too.

*** 

Finally, after more 11 hours travel, they arrived at Mulu National Park, a famous natural park, protected not only by rainforest department, but also by government military. 

"Okay agent.We've arrived. Welcome to Mulu National Park."
Tony yelled pleasantly with a weird British accent. 

Agent Stephen Harris just enjoy the beautifully natural scenary of the Mulu National Park. He take a deep breath of fresh jungle air and slowly follow the Tony's footsteps.

Gunung Mulu National Park is known for its dramatic peaks and caves, including the huge, bat-filled cave named Deer Cave.

This cave leads to the Garden of Eden, a beautifully hidden valley and limestone waterfall, enclosed by limestone cliff. At the east of the limestone cave, there is a secret door connecting the cave with another cave. A sophisticated-look door with face and eye recognition password.

Tony bring Agent 0069 Stephen Harris to enter the door by using his face and eye password.  

"What? A laboratory? Here at the middle of the jungle?" 
Agent 0069 Stephen Harris curious. He cannot believe there is an advance laboratory, complete with high resolution display, hologram device, big satellite and chemical substance with different colors all over the place.

"Welcome to Vampirism Research Center, an agency under Ministry of Science and Technology."

Tony yelled proudly again. This time with the annoying British accent.

Around year 2070, a severe pneumonia-like illness has infected humankind around the globe. Those who survived transformed whether to became vampire or werewolf. To save the humankind, some cure vaksin was developed by scientists including some selected escape plans that designed as an optional methods but the plans must work accordingly. Good news is, who follow the escape plans can live eternally but the bad news is, all escape plans has it's consequences. And, only one of them will live to see the sunrise.

Mazurka pocketed his phone and scratched at the back of his neck.

"Stretching it a bit, don't you think?" Skye remarked as she watched him from the doorway of her lab.

"Not at all. He's been acting strange since that meeting at the M.E.T. Making bad decisions. I'm hoping this reels him in a bit. Besides, we both saw that thing on the video. We may not know what it is, but it is one hundred percent responsible for killing Makayla Schneider."

"Yeah, that much is certain," she said quietly as she stared down at the floor. "It's horrible on video. No wonder they all died with that look on their faces. That something like that could be real, and out there..." she paused and swallowed, her hands quaking as she tightened them against her arms, "it's terrifying."

Setting his hand upon her shoulder, he spoke quietly, "As disturbing as it is, do your best not to think about it."

"If it were that easy, I'd be doing it!" Skye shouted, harshly throwing his hand from her shoulder and storming back into her lab.

"You think I don't know that?" he questioned as he followed after her. "Look, what I meant was, focus on what you know and not what that thing might be."

Mazurka's voice was shaky, he had been trying to follow his own advice but was failing miserably at it himself.  He felt as if he was coming apart at the seams, unable to wrap his mind around what had happened earlier with Quayleigh, and now having watched an unknown creature, a horror from the darkest fabric of reality take a human life. It was all beginning to feel like too much. The knowledge he had he couldn't even share with those around him for fear that they would think him mad for believing what she had said. He wasn't even entirely sure that he believed it himself.

'She said Death GAVE her HIS eye, as if he was a person. A being. Could that thing be Death? A servant of Death? She said its head was as big as she was when she was a kid, but this thing is much smaller than that. What am I thinking? Death is just something that happens to people. It isn't a living thing! Or is it? She has its eye. She said she had its eye. It could be something else right? A hallucination from lack of blood and the pain could explain what she saw, or thinks she saw, but I SAW her eye. Or did I? It's not like I can remember it. Was I tricked somehow?' He thought as he paced around the room, his hand on his chin.

"Would you stop that?!" Skye shouted out of frustration as she turned and started at him. "You aren't helping anything by wearing out the floor!"

"Sorry. I just…" He sighed. "How much longer is this going to take?"

"VAS is just about half done with the file.  You should probably go and get some air. Better yet," she said as she reached into her pocket and pulled out a twenty, "go across the street and get me a bottle of Bourbon. The cheap stuff's fine." Taking the money, she held out towards him, she grabbed his hand tight, "actually, spend it on the good stuff; blue bottle with a silver label. I don't want to be conscious tonight."

"Yeah, me either." He trembled as her hand slipped away. "I'll be back in a couple of minutes."

As Skye turned back to her computer, he left the lab and closed the door.  Taking a moment, he leaned against the wall of the hallway prying his phone out of his pocket to check the time. It was nearing four thirty. Taking a deep breath to settle his nerves, he left the precinct and ran across the road to the liquor store. Picking up the bottle of Bourbon Skye had requested, along with a twelve pack of beer for himself, he slowed his pace, dropping the beer off in his car on the way back inside where he promptly returned to her lab.

"Here," he said as he placed the paper bag clad bottle down on her desk next to her computer along with her change.

"I don't think that's going to be enough," she quaked as she glanced at the bottle and then back to her screen. "It finished a few minutes ago."

Mazurka breathed uneasy as he stared at the computer screen. "What did VAS find?" He swallowed harshly; his throat having grown dry.

She took a deep breath to calm herself and grabbed her mouse, sliding the cursor across the screen, clicking on the file titled, 'M. Schneider'.

"The nanny cam that was used was triggered by two separate detection methods, audio and video. The audio is stored in separate files and is going to take a lot longer to process, but the video was already broken down into individual files so there wasn't much scrubbing to do. Instead I had VAS reorganize and timestamp the footage by date, and then subdivided all the footage that was recorded in the last twenty-four hours. It looks like there are seven files. A little over three hours of recorded footage. The last file is the longest and was triggered by police, continuing until the camera was discovered. The one before that should be when the body was discovered."

"Then what is this one?" He pointed to the fifth file that was nearly twenty minutes long.  "This is after…"

"I don't know. The camera stops recording after twenty seconds of no detectable motion. This file starts two minutes and seventeen seconds after the fourth file, being the one we don't need to watch again right now."

"Play it."

Skye hesitated turning to look up at him, "Are you certain? I mean I know we have to, but we could wait for Harlowe to get here."

Mazurka nodded motioning to the fourth file, "You're certain that's the one?"

"Yes. Absolutely. I made not of the time so it was easier to find. And I didn't want to watch it again, until I had no choice."

"Any chance you can print the frames without playing the video again?"

Skye smiled and released her pent-up anxiety as she turned back to her computer. "I can let the program run in the background. I usually like to watch the videos frame by frame, but I… I don't know if I can watch that again. At least not this soon. I've seen a lot of horrifying things captured on film, and I've heard more than my fair share of nightmare inducing audio files, but this was one a different level. The video was bad enough but the audio makes it so much worse."

"I know," he said as he pulled up a chair and sat next to her. "In the audio she clearly accusing her husband of sending people to kill her, this fifth file, it might be the people that tossed the house. It's possible that they found her and didn't do anything. It also makes the conversation she was having with herself make some sense."

"Except that she wasn't alone."

"Yeah, that's the terrifying part. She knew. She knew that thing was there with her before it became visible to the camera.  Didn't she say something about 'they deserve this, not me?'"

"To be honest I wasn't really paying much attention to the audio at the time."

"That makes two of us," he replied as he leaned back in the chair and rubbed his face.

"I'm hoping that there might be some low frequency audio that was recorded, something in the range that we can't hear normally. Not that I want to know what that thing sounds like."

"I'm oddly curious about the other side of that conversation though," he admitted as he leaned forward once more. "Think you could do me a favor in return for that bottle?"

"If I give you another twenty will you go and fetch me another?"

"No need for the money. I'll bring you a bottle from my personal stash.  High quality stuff from Cove-Atal. A gift from my Father, or so my mother always says. All I need from you is another copy of the security footage of Piang Lee's crime scene."

"The entire thirteen seconds?"

"Yes, everything with the shadow in it. I want them for comparison and Harlowe and I put markings all over the originals."

"No problem. I'll get them printing as soon as VAS is done with this file."

"Appreciated. I'll bring you that bottle tomorrow," he replied as the door opened and Harlowe marched in, Folsten behind him.

"Show me!" he shouted as Mazurka stood up.

"Wait, Harlowe, you need to prepare yourself for this." He tried to slow his partner's advance.

"Prepare myself? For what? You think this is the first sicko I've seen on tape? Kid, I was watching killers screw tiny corpses while you were still in diapers! Now get out of my way. Skye, play the footage. I want to see this monsters face!"

"Sire, I really think you should listen to Yechiel on this," she replied as she turned and looked at him. "Whatever this thing is that was caught on this video, it isn't human."

"If it's not human that it's some sort of summons. Why are you two acting like there's a fucking alien on this thing? You called me back here to see this killer, so show me the footage. And Yechiel, get your clerk on the phone. I want her to meet us at the M.E.T. tomorrow morning at nine."

"I can't force her…"

"Convince her! I'm done playing games with this lunatic. We need answers and we need someone who no affiliation to the M.E.T., and in return, they want someone who doesn't work for the police. So, unless you know someone else who knows enough about magic to understand what their reading, and you can keep a close eye on, we don't have any other option. We have a small window of opportunity right now before this asshole kills again. I'd like to have answers before our time runs out." 

"I get it, but before anything else, you need to watch the video," Mazurka said as Skye handed Harlowe a headset.

"Can I get a set too?" Folsten asked from behind.

Mazurka handed her the set he had been using and stepped to the side.

"I'll put it on the large monitor," Skye remarked pointing to the 80inch TV mounted to the far wall. "Brace yourselves. This isn't easy to watch."

Harlowe nodded to her as he and Folsten put on their headsets and she pressed play.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Harlowe stood silent as he pulled the headset off and Folsten ran from the room with her hand clasped over her mouth.

"I'll go check on her," Skye said as she left the lab.

Placing the headset onto the desk behind him, Harlowe visibly shook, beads of sweat dripping down his brow.

"That's not any summoned creature I've ever heard of," he uttered, his voice holding back a subtle quake. "It was speaking to her. It's sentient."

"Now you know why I wanted you to see it for yourself. Whatever it is, I don't know if we can stop it."

"You're wrong about that kid. That thing is alive, there's no reason to believe it can't be stopped.  We need to figure out what it is though," Harlowe remarked as he stood up and turned to face Mazurka. "And if someone is controlling it. It could be a puppet, or maybe it's a practitioner who screwed up on a transmutation ritual. It may not be human now, but there's a possibility that it was at one time. Rituals do go wrong and weird things can happen. Officially, that is a human. At least that is how we're going to treat it. It's a practitioner who screwed up his magic. Listen to me Kid, we need someone in those archives. My careers over either way, but if we don't close this case in a years' time, your career is going to die with mine."

"What did you do Harlowe?"

"I traded my freedom so we could get someone in those archives. I can't read the mages books, but she can, can't she."

Mazurka nodded hesitantly. "I think so. She had a decent collection of magic books and she certainly understands how it all works."

"Convince her to come in and speak with Folsten, at the very least. I'll find a way to get her to the M.E.T.  if I have too.  And one more thing, Dylan Kirkwood, I want him to come in with her. I've a few questions for him to answer."

As Harlowe left the room, Mazurka pulled out his phone and looked at the time again. "Shit," he whispered as he glanced up at the monitor.

Grabbing the remote he rewound the footage, pausing it at the moment just before the monster killed Makayla Schneider. He wanted to engrain it into his mind, every visible inch, from the shiny black surface of its skin to the thee rows of needle shaped teeth, to the way its eyes closed when it stretched back its lips to speak, even though no sound emanated from it that they could hear. It was a creature of death and fear, horrifying to look upon, and worst of all, it was real; Alive and breathing. And it could be anywhere.

I sat on my bed, hunched over an assortment of mostly-silver metal. I weighed a piece in my hand, its weight a reminder of the gnawing in my stomach that I had endured over lunch for months now.
"Fifteen dollars and sixty cents…" I counted out loud, arranging the coins into small, neat piles. Each pile represented a dollar. Please let me have saved enough, I prayed to no-one in particular.
On my computer screen was the location of the closest Chase-operated Automated Teller Machine (ATM) in the area. According to Google Maps, it was located twenty minutes away by vehicle. I was not sure when ATMs had begun accepting coin deposits but thank God that they had. I had no notes to deposit. My lunch money came in the form of change.
"Thirty-six dollars and twenty cents…" The disorganized pile of metal was growing precariously small. It did not look like I would have enough left over to take the bus. No matter. I would just walk both ways, then.
The closest Chase ATM was located in Walter E. Washington Convention Center, on the corner of 9th Street and N Street, 6 miles away. That was probably two hours each way by foot, give or take.
"Forty-four dollars and ten cents… YES!" I exclaimed, as I arranged the last of the coins into the dollar piles. I needed at least forty-three dollars and ninety-six cents.
I scooped the coins into the backpack I used for school and bolted out the front door, barely remembering to lock it. No one was at home, and although there was not much to steal in the house, it was all my family had.
The sky was slightly overcast, and a few people on were on the street. I did not recognize them, and they seemed to be hurrying along the sidewalks. They held umbrellas in their hands. It surprised me that there were people on the street at all. I lived directly opposite a cemetery in a poor neighborhood. People did not pass by this area often.
Not exactly a sunny Sunday late-afternoon, I decided. It looked like I would have to hurry I did not want to get drenched. I plugged my earpieces in and began walking, my feet falling into tempo with the beat of my favorite Electronic Dance Music track, 'There's Only You' by Above and Beyond.
In the stillness of an empty room
In the face of every settled moon
In everything that comes apart
You rise and fall in my heart
Candy's broadcasts had become a nightly affair. They had given me something to look forward to throughout the day. In the same way I had craved the warmth of my comforter before her, I now craved the flurry of warm-hearted greetings which came my way upon joining her broadcast. Hers, especially. Environments in which my arrival and existence were widely acknowledged were rare.
During the hours of Candy's broadcasts, I would listen and occasionally contribute to the discussions. At times, this was done in the chat box. At others, she conducted group audio calls. Although I was extremely shy and rarely said much in the audio calls, I particularly enjoyed them. Trudging through the pages of my first novel, it felt like my newfound friends were right there beside me, in my room.
Many repetitions of 'There's Only You' later, Chase's ATM came into view. There was no queue for it, and this gave me an immense sense of relief. I had dreaded people watching the embarrassing spectacle of an autistic schoolboy awkwardly scooping coins from his backpack and plinking them into the coin deposit drawer. I pulled my earpieces out so that I could hear the instructions that the ATM was issuing me. I did not use the ATM often.
The sound of metal on metal rang out loud, breaking the relative silence of a slow Sunday evening. Somewhere in the distance, the sound of raindrops against asphalt was growing louder. When I was done, the ATM spat out a piece of paper. Total balance remaining: forty-four dollars and ten cents.
I slipped the piece of paper into my pocket and turned to head back the way I came. A single raindrop fell on my nose, washing off some of the sweat that had dried up on the way here. The smile on my face stayed.
It was dark by the time I arrived home, drenched to the bone. Shortly after I had left the ATM, it had begun to pour. I had taken off my t-shirt and wrapped it around my earpieces and thrust the bundle deep into my backpack. Then, I had walked for two hours, hunched over my backpack to protect my one prized possession, with nothing but the sound of droplets and the occasional rumble of thunder to punctuate my hurried but cautious footsteps.
My earpieces were the sort that provided noise-cancellation, and they were not cheap. I loved them for how they insulated me from the racket of the world.
Stepping into my front door, I threw my soaking backpack onto the floor and rummaged around for my earpieces. They seemed relatively dry, but I would soon find out if they were dry enough. I plugged them into my mobile phone and the reassuring sounds of 'We're All We Need' by Above and Beyond blasted through the earpieces, strong as ever.
I told you of a place that I had been
It was dark and I was supremely alone
No matter now if the compass fails again
'Cause in your love, I built a home
I heaved a sigh of relief and looked up at the clock hanging on the wall of the living room. Eight twenty-seven p.m. That gave me about half an hour to get showered and ready for Candy's broadcast, which would be starting soon, at nine p.m.
"Eating in my room tonight!", I yelled to my mother, who was still cooking in the kitchen. Then, I ran up the staircase to get cleaned up.

But it soon becomes apparent that the consequences of their connection in youth are still hot on their heels.

"Yeah! Great!"
　　 The moment the fifth warehouse opened, a few people at the door immediately cheered excitedly.
　　 Then, everyone rushed to the door, ready to find out.
　　 Don't ask, this is the goal of many people today, Rockstar Warehouse!
　　 The fiercest competition is here! It's clear who is going to die in this event!
　　 Since Ye Tian had already gained a lot of groundwork, although Ye Tian was also a little excited, he was not as excited as the others and did not rush to check.
　　 He just waited in place, waited for his turn, and then carefully observed the situation in the warehouse.
　　Is this rock star warehouse worth shooting? Whether there are hidden secrets? I can understand it in a moment and make the most accurate judgments. I don't need to squeeze it up now.
　　 But Jason couldn't restrain his curiosity, and walked over quickly, ready to see the situation in the warehouse.
　　 "Steven, don't you go up and have a look? Are you not curious at all?"
　　 Benny asked with a smile, he also stood there waiting.
　　 "Of course I am curious, but there is no need to worry. Naturally, it will be my turn. This warehouse is the battlefield for your predators. I just have to look at the excitement! I don't expect to have a chance to participate in the auction!
　　 Ye Tian smiled and shook his head.
　　 Although he said so, his eyes flashed with energy.
　　 If there are hidden treasures in the warehouse, then buddies are never welcome! At that time, who is the predator may be!
　　While speaking, Wilson had already stood at the door of the warehouse, and said excitedly:
　　 "OK! Gentlemen, you can visit, everyone understands the rules, ten seconds per person, please!"
　　 The voice fell, and he immediately stood on the side of the door, and the tour began.
　　 Everyone started to line up to visit. Many people were already overjoyed and geared up, in a posture like me.
　　 Those senior professional treasure pickers did not show too much excitement, and they still looked calm and calm.
　　"This warehouse is great! Definitely worth the shot! There are two antique jukeboxes, there are many classic records, a few guitar effects, and other things.
　　 Most important thing is a set of 80% new Bose top sound system! The only pity is that I can't see that the warehouse originally belonged to the rock star! Otherwise, the valuation will have more basis! "
　　 Jason came back and stopped, and immediately began to describe what he saw excitedly.
　　 Listening to his explanation, Benny's eyes began to shine, obviously very tempting.
　　 Qin Feng is also irritating, and there are so many good things!
　　 I haven't seen other things and don't understand it temporarily, but he still knows how much the Bose top-of-the-line audio system is worth.
　　 That's a baby that I wanted to have, but I still reluctant to buy it! There is no other reason, too expensive!
　　 No wonder everyone is so excited! It's really tempting!
　　 The visit progressed very quickly, and Ye Tian arrived at the door of the warehouse in a blink of an eye and began to look at the situation inside.
　　 This is a ten-square-meter room, you can see two jukeboxes on the side wall, and the eye-catching Bose top-level audio system in the middle.
　　 There is a shelf on the other side of the wall. There are many records on it. There are hundreds of them. They are basically old records from the 1940s to the 1970s. They are also antiques.
　　 There are four guitar effects thrown on the floor. They are used and not old. They are all top brands and are of great value!
　　 There is something behind the sound system, but it is completely covered by a piece of tarpaulin, so I can't see the specific content.
　　 As Jason said, there is no information about the warehouse owner from these things.
　　 The moment he stood at the door of the warehouse, Ye Tian had white light in his eyes. In addition to the two jukeboxes and the antique records, white light also flashed under the tarpaulin.
　　 There are hidden treasures here, and they must be shot!
　　 He didn't see it right away, but first observed and calculated the value on the surface, and judged the upper limit of other people's quotations.
　　 For two or three seconds, he has already made his mind. The things he has seen so far should be worth about 35,000 US dollars, which is very attractive.
　　 Of course, the premise of the valuation is that these items are intact. If there is something wrong, it will be greatly reduced. Especially the audio system. If there is a problem, the value will definitely shrink sharply.
　　 It's time to see through now, what's the baby under that cloth? Whether there are any problems with these things in the warehouse, this is the biggest basis for oneself to shoot!
　　 Attentive, the perspective starts immediately!
　　 Surprise!
There are two guitars under the tarp cloth, a double-headed guitar and an acoustic guitar, which are housed in a delicate guitar case and placed on a reclining shelf.
　　 In addition, there are four brand new Bose headsets, monitor-grade high-end goods! They are earphones for recording studios, which are absolutely valuable!
　　The white light is the acoustic guitar, the top brand guitar, from the 1940s, with several layers of halo, the artistic value is not low, it is a fine antique in the guitar.
　　 The double-headed guitar is relatively recent, not an antique, but has a high artistic value. This is illustrated by the multilayered halo.
　　 Seeing these two guitars, Ye Tian suddenly moved too fast!
　　 It's not because of that antique guitar, and it's not that he likes these two guitars so much.
　　 But because that double-headed piano is so familiar! This is a custom-made double-headed guitar, which is very famous in American rock music circles.
　　 Ye Tian likes the guitarist who uses this double-headed guitar, and even was a fan of their band at one time, so he recognized this guitar at a glance.
　　 Suppressing the excitement, he quickly scanned the piano body, and the surprise appeared again, he found the musician information on the piano box.
　　 Confirm correct! One hundred percent is the guitar I think!
Awesome!
　　 Ye Tian was so excited that he almost threw a fist to celebrate!
　　 This guitar is extremely valuable, much more expensive than all the other items in the warehouse combined.
　　 Shoot! Be sure to take down this warehouse and use up all the remaining cash!
　　 Then he took a quick look at the audio system, the jukebox, and the effects on the ground. Except for some dust, there was nothing wrong with the rest, and they should all be intact.
　　 In less than ten seconds, Ye Tian had mastered all the contents in the warehouse, he knew better than anyone, and his determination to win was stronger than anyone!
　　 After the tour, he walked aside, stood with Jason and the others, chatting and waiting for the auction to start.
　　 "Steven, are you participating in the bidding for this warehouse? It's not cheap!"
　　 Jason asked excitedly, although this kid was not capable of participating, but the gossip was blazing and he was very excited.
　　 "Let's see the situation then, to be honest, I am very excited! Maybe I will participate in the auction!"
　　 Ye Tian smiled and gave an ambiguous answer.
　　 Hearing this, Benny immediately turned his head and glanced at him, a worried look flashed under his eyes.
　　 This kid, don't really want to participate in the auction, right? This is not good news! If it's as crazy as before, it's in trouble!
　　 Soon everyone's visit was over, and the auction started immediately.
　　 Wilson stood at the door of the warehouse again and exclaimed excitedly:
　　 "OK! Gentlemen, everyone has visited the warehouse, and the auction is now starting. Based on the situation in the warehouse, $2,000 is a very reasonable starting price. Is $2,000, can anyone respond?"
"Wow!"
As soon as Wilson's voice fell, there was an exclamation on the scene.
　　 Although the valuation of this warehouse is relatively high, the starting price still surprised many people, and even a little unacceptable!
　　 The bid starts at US$2,000, and there is no cash base of US$10,000. This warehouse can't even think about it!
　　 Several people at the scene had $10,000 in cash in their pockets. Many people estimated that even including bank deposits, they might not have that much money!
　　 Americans has become accustomed to living in debt, and spending tomorrow's money today, not many have the habit of saving, even middle-class families do not have much cash.
　　 Obviously, the starting price has already made many people desperate and dispelled their covetousness, so the reaction is so big.
　　 There are a lot of people who are well prepared. Many people came to this warehouse, and they are now in front of them. So what are you waiting for! Someone immediately responded loudly.
　　 "2000 USD"
　　 Wilson immediately raised his hand and pointed at this person, speaking quickly and loudly:
　　 "OK! This gentleman should offer $2,000, now it's $2,500, 2,500, does anyone offer it? 2,500,..."
　　 "Here, Wilson!"
　　 Garcia raised his hand in response to the price and joined the bidding ranks, his expression was very excited, his eyes flashed with greed!
　　 Hearing Garcia's voice, Ye Tian didn't bother to look at him again. Just the thousands of dollars they had thrown into this auction, it is estimated that even the water will not splash!
　　 Wilson raised his finger and continued to make a quick quote:
　　 "Mexican cowboys should be priced at US$2500, US$3000, and 3000. Will anyone pick it up?..."
"Yay!"
　　 Someone responds again.
　　 The price began to soar rapidly, and the competition became more and more fierce. In just four or five rounds, it has soared to $8,000.
　　Poor Garcia, they can only be eliminated in despair. Many bidders are the same. The price has reached the bottom of their pockets.
　　 Ye Tian hasn't bid for the price. He understands that it is just a waste of saliva if it is less than 10,000. The real competition starts with 10,000 US dollars.
　　 Two more rounds have passed, and the price has been mentioned at $12,000.
　　 The black big white shot, and once again forcibly cleared the field.
　　 There were a few more bidders immediately, leaving only five or six people, all of whom were experienced treasure hunters and a few second-hand stores from Manhattan.
