File #0001:... more>>

Suspect: Erika Guruh

Alias: Omen

Character Profile: sinister-looking, extremely rude, notorious

Deduction: No doubt she’s the perpetrator. Besides, all evidence found points straight at her.

Facts: It’s an open secret that the accused and the victim have been at each other’s throats and that the beef between them worsened after speculations of the suspect desiring to snatch the victim’s boyfriend came to light. No wonder when the victim was found at death’s doors on the premises of a construction site, the suspicion was immediately pointed towards the suspect.

However, the situation is even more convoluted than it seems due to the suspect running away with her thug-like motorcycle-taxi-driver, despite being under house arrest. This act by the suspect only stands to further strengthen the suspicions towards her. The suspect was also the first person to arrive at the crime scene of the following victims.

My Mission: Prove that the accused is, in fact, innocent. And to find the actual perpetrator. <<less

But still, I comforted myself that as long I don’t run into Kid the Killer, I should be able to live somehow.

As if laughing at my thoughts,

Kid came to see me on the first night.

“Is that what they call pretending to be asleep? Your acting is pretty good. Now, if you don’t wake up in the count of three—”

“Eek, I’m awake!”

He said that if I wanted to live, I needed to seduce his other personality, the high priest “Seniel”. He said Seniel would keep me alive as long as I became his most prized thing and his weakness.

But once I’ve become his weakness, will he spare me? Kid said he would kill me in due course to step on Seniel.

In the end, it’s a matter of dying now or dying later.

***

In the morning, Seniel was in tears.

“It’s all my fault.”

I kind of comforted him in order to survive. The only way I could live was to pretend to get close to him and run away while he was off guard. <<less

“How does it feel to be the one to be deceived?”... more>>

Sei flinched and shrinked away from him. The man she saw up close had an unrealistic appearance beyond her imagination. With his features, it was hard to guess his age.

“So, what if the food was mixed with something? You shouldn’t have eaten it without knowing what was in it.”

“What are you…”

“If you were hungry, you should have rather ordered room service. If you had, we wouldn’t have met like this.”

Gulping nervously, Sei recalled a plate of high-end cookies on a mini bar. The man was looking down at her with a strange smile as if it was all fun for him.

No matter how handsome and angel-like he looked, she didn’t want to deal with anything that wasn’t normal. She just hoped he was not some crazy psycho.

“I’d love to put it in your mouth, but I’m sure it’ll ruin this pretty face. So let’s stop here. In return…”

The man while saying the vulgar words grabbed her wrist and let her hold his manhood. Surprised by his thickness that couldn’t be held in one hand, she tried to pull her hand out of his grasp, but it was futile. His cold grayish-blue eyes held her body immobile.

“Sei.”

She snapped out of her reverie when she heard his low voice calling out her name.

“I’ll repeat it only once. Don’t you dare think Giulio Parenti is above me. Because if I won't kill you, that means Parenti too would not be able to kill you. Do you understand?” <<less
