Chapter 8

Penulis: Rabbit King
Linda clenched the blood‑soaked knife, her entire body shaking as she stared at the twisted face identical to her own. Her voice came out hoarse, almost a growl.

“You… who are you, really?”

The suspect studied Linda’s distorted expression, then suddenly split into a cold grin.

“Who am I? Don’t you already have the answer in your heart, Chief?”

Linda’s eyes burned red. Gripping the knife, she lunged toward the suspect… only to be hauled back by Gregory, who grabbed her arm with all his strength.

“Linda, don’t be reckless! Ruining your future over a killer isn’t worth it!”

The suspect stared at Linda’s contorted face and burst into manic laughter.

“Why? Why do we have the same face, yet you get to be the police chief while I live like a sewer rat?

“Those old fools deserved it! Why did they always protect you? I’m their daughter too! They’d rather adopt some outsider’s child than give their money to me! They deserved to die!”

The victims’ family members, eyes bloodshot, roared an

  • If You Didn't Kill Your In-laws, Who Did?   Chapter 9

    The memory froze on the moment Linda took me away.She collapsed to her knees, screaming in despair.I hovered in the air, watching her face twist with agony. A dull ache rose from the depths of my soul.“Finn… I’m sorry… I didn’t know… I really didn’t know…”She crawled to my corpse, but there was no longer a single intact piece of flesh left on my body.Her tears fell onto me. Yet I could no longer soothe her the way I once had.Gregory grabbed Linda, trying to pull her to her feet.“Linda, these memories are all fake! Don’t let him fool you—he and the killer were working together!”At that moment, the director of the psychiatric hospital spoke in a grave voice.“Linda did suffer from dissociative identity disorder in the past. During an episode years ago, she set fire to someone’s home. Because she was mentally unstable and still a minor at the time, the court did not sentence her, ordering compulsory treatment instead. Her parents chose to bury the truth forever in order t

  • If You Didn't Kill Your In-laws, Who Did?   Chapter 7

    A heart‑rending scream from my mother‑in‑law echoed through the screen.My soul shuddered instinctively, tears sliding down from the corners of my eyes.The killer’s face emerged clearly before everyone watching.Linda staggered backward, nearly knocking over the machine.On the screen, the figure wielding the knife and carving into her mother slowly lifted her head—revealing a twisted face identical to Linda’s own.The room went deathly pale.“How is this possible? The killer is the police chief?”“No… it can’t be her…”“Run! The killer is the police chief!”Linda stared at her blood‑stained hands, trembling, exactly the same as in the image.“No… impossible… How could it be me? It can’t be me!”Gregory froze for a moment, then forced himself to sound calm.“This… this must be a tampered memory! The killer deliberately disguised herself as you!”His fingers shook as he swept a cold smile across the crowd.“The memory decoder is a new product. Data misalignment is normal.

    I… I seemed dead.Linda was determined to dig out the truth.It felt as if I could no longer keep it hidden.I stared at the screen before me, watching my father-in-law collapse into a pool of blood, my eyes burning with a heat I couldn’t contain.I shook my head.Soon… I would be seeing him again, wouldn’t I?But I couldn’t keep the promise I had made to him.A wave of guilt rose within me.I remembered the moment my tongue had been cut out—the raw, searing pain.Despite it, there was a strange sense of relief. I had thought that if I could not speak, the truth could remain buried forever.Linda’s tears fell on me, mixing with the blood still flowing from my wounds.The screen froze on the gruesome scene of my father-in-law being stabbed repeatedly by the figure with the knife.He screamed as he fell, yet clamped his mouth shut, letting no sound escape, even as blade after blade tore into his flesh.Even in his final moments, he used his eyes to send me a message.I unde

    The crowd’s eyes were glued to the figure on the screen, horror written across every face.Linda collapsed to the ground, utterly drained. The knife slipped from her hand, clattering against the floor.“No… no, this can’t be…” she murmured, her voice trembling.There was something eerily familiar about the figure on the screen that unsettled her.The spectators whispered among themselves, trying to make sense of what they saw.“Just now, the screen picked up the scream of the police chief’s father, but her mother never appeared. Could it be… the person who killed her father was her mother?”“If that’s true, it would explain why Finn never spoke of it to the very end.”"So does that mean we’ve been falsely accusing him all along? If her mother killed her father, then the one committing the current murders must be someone else entirely.”Pale and shaking, the crowd’s eyes were filled with regret and self-reproach.“If Finn did nothing wrong, then what’s the difference between th

    My body convulsed violently, blood and tears mingling as I watched my parents struggle in the inferno.Pain and despair crashed over me like tidal waves, drowning the last remnants of reason.I trembled uncontrollably, broken sobs spilling from my throat.The onlookers pointed at me, sneering.“He suffered, so he wants others to suffer even more!”“He’s already twisted into a monster!”The electric current hissed, and the images on the screen shattered abruptly.Gregory moved to Linda’s side, his gaze icy.“Not enough! He has to relive the pain of that day to break the memory block! Otherwise, the truth will never be revealed!”Linda’s eyes reddened. Her trembling hand hovered in midair. She looked at me—shriveled, slumped in the chair, a husk of my former self—her eyes a tangle of pain and conflict.Her quivering fingers couldn’t even grasp the silver needles.A subordinate grabbed her clothing, shouting urgently, “Chief, if you push any further, the needles will pierce his
