And that was the case that would connect questions in their minds. He took a strong and tight grip on the newspaper, Angelic asked if he was all right but William excused for a moment and went inside his bedroom. There was a scene flashing on his mind, a scene he never wanted to see again. Ten years ago, William Smith handled a case about a little girl who was found dead at McLeod’s Medical Institute. The little girl was Marie Anderson, six years of age. She was bathing in blood when his father, Makar Anderson returned in her room after paying the hospital bill he loaned from his friend since he got no money left in his pocket. There was a knife stabbed on Marie's neck. Mr. Anderson checked

The fields were nothing but filled with the remains of the dead men who invaded the Ciphers’ defenses, some got separated from their torsos, some have lost their heads, and some were completely smashed into pieces that one could not recognize anymore. One would be left with trauma seeing this gruesome phenomenon, even I, the author of this book would want to heave. This was indeed a large bloody porridge for anthropophagi, but not for those who would want their tongues clean. Zhackary and the rest of his team spent their night to find Keisha’s body among the fields filled with corpses from tonight’s activity. The stench of death ruined their noses and it drove them sick.

“Mom, come here quickly! Look at brother, look at brother, Ma!!” Nevan glanced at his cynical gaze behind his back which had moved away from the dividing wall himself. At the end of the fence, he cocked a smile and then hurried nimbly to the end of the street. The atmosphere that night became history for the young campus gangster leader who became the target of a sinister and alien creature. No one knew by his depraved act that he had thrown the body with his angry hands. A scream filled the atmosphere. Wiw! Wiw! Wiw!

At least that's what I was told. I was only supposed to sneak in, and take a picture of a few notes from the Encyclopedia of Medical Imaging Keisha had stumbled upon while cleaning the library. She didn't want to sneak it out, so she dressed me in her uniform, handed me cleaning supplies, and sent me in. If there's only one door, how did someone end up on the other side of the shelf? "I saw you moving minutes ago, and suddenly, you're a statue?" the voice says again. "You'll have to move eventually when security gets here."

for the raw materials of the North. Lyra was a whirlwind of violet shadow, her obsidian blade carving a path through the mercury-humans. "They are 'Eating' the script, Silas! They aren't just possessed! They are 'Integrated'!" Silas was a pillar of gold-and-sapphire heresy beside her, his claws leaving deep gashes in the mercury-fire. But for every one they struck down, ten more emerged from the crowd. The "Biological Invasion" was happening in the middle of a busy city street, and the audience was the army.

"It doesn't just want food, Cattleya. It wants the data in your marrow. It wants to know how you feel when you realize you were never a girl. You were an audit log." Sarah shoved her, the force of the strike sending Cattleya sprawling into the pile of desiccated bodies. The corpses shifted with a sickening, brittle crunch, limbs folding like dried kindling. As Cattleya fell, one of the bodies”a man in a shredded velvet waistcoat”rolled toward her, his jaw hanging slack to reveal a throat filled not with blood, but with fine, grey, pulverized circuitry. The dead weren't just starving. They were filling up on the machine”s own detritus.

"She won't be done 'til morning. Jobs are hard to come by these days—she's too scared to step out of line." With that, Mr. Gabelman started tearing at Madison's clothes. "Don't you want to know what it feels like doing it in someone else's home?" Mr. Gabelman's bloated body looked absolutely repulsive on camera. They went from the living room to the master bedroom—didn't even separate to shower. I nearly threw up watching it.

"It’s the people." The paranoia was a thick fog. Aethel-Prime’s "Infiltration-Protocol" was a masterstroke of corporate malice. The "Debt-Collectors" didn't need dragons anymore. They had used the final explosion to "Humanize" their frequencies, shedding their silver skin to slip into the masses of refugees and Scrappers. Anyone could be an Auditor. The woman selling roasted corn on the corner, the guard at the Spire gate, the nurse tending to the wounded—they were all suspects.

The police were busy on the other side while they entered and peeped from the back door. "It stinks like hell. Man. For how long we're all these bodies here?" Max wrapped a piece of cloth on his nose, complaining. Jason didn't close his nose, but the smell was terrible. He peeped and saw almost fifty bodies. A mix of young and older people. Before they could take more steps inside, they were pulled out by a man. He held their necks and pulled them away from there. "What you guys doing here?" it was Mr. Markings, the Janitor, and a vampire.

Images assaulted my mind, scientists swarming the territory, TV crews shoving cameras in everyone's faces, tranquilizer guns and capture nets, gawkers and protesters descending on Killian's peaceful haven. They'd surround the houses, breach the perimeter with brutal efficiency. No resistance, not a sound. Then, the invaders would cautiously enter the eerily silent houses, only to find... bodies. Dead bodies everywhere. Littered across the living rooms, bedrooms, even the game room where the pack used to gather in the evenings. Cold, lifeless bodies staring with vacant eyes at the invaders who'd unwittingly triggered this massacre.
