Chapter 1

The heavy rain had been falling for three days, and the entire city seemed soaked, appearing gray everywhere.When my waterlogged corpse floated out of the stinking ditch, it startled many onlookers.An eight-year-old child was so frightened that he cried loudly and hid in his mother’s arms, who was soothing him softly.I felt my eyes redden at the sight.It had been a long time since I had felt a mother's embrace.Ever since my sister went missing six years ago, my parents had only disdain for me.They hadn’t even given me a smile, let alone a hug.Soon, the scene was cordoned off with police tape. I stood among the crowd, quietly watching my rotting body.A police car stopped in front of me, and when the door opened, my eyes lit up.“Luke, the preliminary estimate is that the body has been submerged in water for three days. Given the heavy rain these days, any evidence at the scene may have been washed away. We’ll need you to put in more effort on the body.”“The forensic d

My broken body was placed in a body bag and sent to my dad’s office.Soon, my severed limbs were discovered and immediately brought to him.Capt. Lister stood at the autopsy table with a frown, pointing at my fingers.“Luke, look, the deceased’s fists are tightly clenched, but her right middle finger was forcibly broken. Could it be because she was wearing an identifiable piece of jewelry there?”“It’s possible,” my dad confirmed with a nod.Capt. Lister hesitated as he looked at him.“I remember Lena always wore a ring on her right middle finger…”My dad raised his eyes, glaring at him with dissatisfaction.“There are so many people who wear rings. It’s not just her. A troublemaker like her wouldn’t die so easily!”Capt. Lister looked anxious, reaching out to grab him without even removing his gloves.“Luke, do you still remember that serial killer from years ago?”My dad trembled all over.That incident had always been his inner demon.Six years ago, my dad was the city’

Chapter 3

My sister went missing for six years, and no one saw her alive or found her body. In the hearts of my parents, she had long been considered dead. They erected a tombstone for her and designated the day she disappeared as her death anniversary. I was only allowed to return home on that day, so I could kneel before her grave to apologize. Last year, I suddenly fainted on my way to the train station. A passerby took me to the hospital, causing me to miss my train home. By the time I rushed back, it was already three days later. My furious father grabbed my hair and dragged me to my sister's grave. He held my head down and forcefully smashed it against the tombstone. I felt dizzy from the impact, but he was still unsatisfied and viciously slapped my face. Again and again, he struck me until my lips split and one of my front teeth was knocked out. But now, he seemed to have forgotten. Perhaps he had never cared. To him, no matter what injuries I suffered—even i

Chapter 4

My soul trembled slightly. Was the truth finally going to be revealed? The scalpel in my father's hand fell to the ground with a crisp sound. I looked up, feeling extremely surprised. I had thought about what expression he would have. Indifferent, unconcerned, perhaps with a hint of pity. I never imagined I would see pain on his face. At that moment, I felt a flicker of emotion. All the suffering I had endured over the years, the resentment born from unfairness towards them, evaporated in an instant. I trembled, wanting to embrace him, but my fingers passed through his chest. Just as tears were about to fall, I heard him murmuring, "Jessica." I froze in place, immediately understanding that the pain in his eyes was not for me. After days of high temperatures and soaking rain, my body was now rotting and emitting a foul stench. Yet my father rushed over without hesitation, collapsing onto the pile of decayed flesh, crying uncontrollably. "Jessica,

Chapter 5

Tears instantly welled up in my eyes; he was the only person in the world who loved me, Alex Rane. I had met him when my parents sent me away to work in another city. Back then, I was broke, the factory dormitory was full, and I had no place to stay. With no options, I could only scavenge some cardboard from a dumpster and hide under a bridge. In the middle of the night, a few ill-intentioned homeless men found me and began to sexually harass me. In my panic and helplessness, I struggled and cried out for help. At that moment, Alex happened to pass by and saved me. Seeing my plight, he let me stay in an empty room at his house. During those lonely days, he was my only comfort. He would let me lean on his shoulder when I received calls from my parents and cried until my eyes were red and swollen. He would hold me and say that he thought I was wonderful when I felt despondent after being scolded. And now, he was the only one anxious about my disappearance.

Chapter 6

My father’s gaze held some reluctance as he gently reassured her, telling her to wait at home for him.After hanging up the phone, my father wiped away his tears and resolutely stepped into the forensic room. This time, he was no longer calm. His hand holding the scalpel trembled uncontrollably. He aimed at my body, hesitating multiple times, but couldn’t bring himself to act. Perhaps it was because I was his beloved daughter. Shaking, he picked up my mangled head and, holding back tears, began to shape it carefully. I also held back tears, watching him cry as he inputted all the data into the computer. He didn’t close his eyes for even a minute throughout the entire night. I lost count of how many cups of strong coffee he drank, his eyes were glued to the computer screen. Outside the window, the sky gradually brightened. Finally, a beep sounded from the computer. My father suddenly looked up, but the next second, his entire body stiffened. He sprang t

Chapter 7

My dad’s eyes reddened. He grabbed my sister's hand and pulled her into his embrace. His hand gently stroked her hair, again and again. I felt envy welling up in my eyes. God knows how much I had longed for his hugs and touches over the past six years. But he and Mom only looked at me with disgust, telling me to get lost. Mom also cried as she stepped forward to hug my sister, their happy appearance stabbed at my heart. It pierced me so much that tears came to my eyes. Mom gently patted my sister's back and pretended to complain, saying, "Jessica, where have you been these years? Your dad and I have been searching for you so hard!" My sister, in their embrace, lowered her head in shame and mumbled, "Mom and Dad, I'm sorry! I got pregnant unexpectedly and was afraid you would scold me, so I didn't dare to come home. I was too selfish, but I was really scared back then and didn’t know what to do." Mom and Dad were stunned, looking at her in surprise. "Then... w

Chapter 8

At that moment, I trembled with anger. For six whole years, I had lived in deep suffering, silently bearing a guilt that didn’t belong to me. And now, she told me it was all just an act. All my unwillingness and grievances transformed into a roar. Unfortunately, no one could hear it. No matter how furious I was, they couldn’t feel it. Mom and Dad were so shocked that they could barely stand. My sister hurriedly supported them, looking at them in confusion. In the midst of this standoff, the doorbell suddenly rang. My sister instantly perked up, running to the door and opening it. A man with gold-rimmed glasses stood outside, looking gentle and refined. My sister took his hand and brought him to our parents, shyly introducing him, "Mom, Dad, this is my boyfriend. I came back to tell you that we’re planning to get married!" Mom forced a smile, while Dad wore a serious expression. No one knew that, out of their sight, I was trembling in fear. I recog

Chapter 9

Dad’s phone suddenly rang.Capt. Lister urgently informed him that the surveillance had captured a scene of me being dragged away.Fortunately, the killer’s face was also recorded.The image quickly arrived on Dad’s phone, and he couldn’t wait to open it. When he saw the face on the screen, his eyes widened slightly.His fingers gripping the phone turned pale from the force.Dad swallowed hard, raised his head with difficulty, and stared intently at my sister’s boyfriend.“It was you. You killed Lena, right?”This sudden turn of events stunned everyone.Except for that demon.A mocking smile appeared at the corners of his lips.“Oh, I didn’t expect the police to be so quick.”He moved his wrist, wrapping my sister in his arms, while the other hand gripped her neck, dragging her to the window and half her body was hanging outside.Dad stared at him with bloodshot eyes and growled softly in anger, “You beast, I’ll kill you!”The other party, however, laughed wildly.“Do you
