Tokyo - Shibuya Crossing - 07:14 PM

There is a young man who is going to attend a new student acceptance event... The young man walks leisurely while looking at his cellphone reading the news about a murder which is right near his house.

"Haa..." He sighed.

"It's really close this time... What exactly are the police doing? It's been almost a year since this case has been going." Said the young man while scratching his head.

The young man continued walking and arrived at the crossing.... Waiting for the light to turn green, he heard two office workers talking about the murder earlier.

"Hey, have you heard the news?"

"Oh, that murder? The news is indeed very widespread, huh..."

"Yes. How about it, first he acted in Akihabara, then in Harajuku and now in Shibuya, the police also estimate that there have been around 300 victims who have died."

"It's really horrific, oh yeah! Have you heard the rumors?"

"Rumors?"

"The police said that all the victims died from only one stab wound to the stomach, and strangely, for every stab wound the victim suffered, there was a very serious burn."

"Ha..? Burns in stab wounds? What are you talking about? That's nonsense."

"I knew that... That's why it's still called a rumor..."

The Young-Man accidentally overheard their conversation

"What a strange rumor... Even the Victims could be up to 300 people, how can this person still be walking around in Tokyo and not get caught?" Said the young man in his heart while looking at his cellphone.

The green light flashed and everyone started to cross.

"How about I kill this person?..." Said The Young Man as he started walking and smiled sarcastically.

He arrived in the middle of the road, but... Suddenly a big man and dressed all in black crashed into his body, as a result, the young man's cellphone fell down.

"Sorry kid." Said the big man without looking at the young-man and continued his journey.

"No problem." Said the young-man as he took his cellphone back.

"May your soul be accepted by his side." Said the big man with a smiling and creepy expression.

When the young man took his cellphone, he felt something strange in his stomach.

"Cough!" The young man suddenly coughed and vomited blood.

He slowly looked at his stomach.

"Why is there a knife in my stomach!" He said while panicking and confused.

"Damn it! It's so hot! How come I didn't notice!" He had a knife stuck in his stomach.

"Bastard! Don't tell me that old man is a serial killer on the news." He slowly stood up and started walking.

"Hospital! That's right, I have to get there right away!" The young man walked slowly towards the nearest hospital.

** 07:22 PM

A few minutes passed, and the young man continued to walk holding his stomach.

"Old man! Don't be happy just yet! I'll hunt you down after this, and I'll make sure you pay for it!" Said the young man.

"Agh! Damn it! Why is this knife so hot! Endure it... I can't die now! There's still someone I need to kill after that bastard!" He said while holding back the pain.

** 07:28 PM

The young man had already arrived in front of the hospital... However... The big man reappeared.

"I appreciate your persistence, young man." Said the big man while standing in front of the young man.

"You! Damn it!" shouted the young man.

While shouting, the young man swung the knife he had hidden in his pocket, and aim it at the head of the big man... But he missed and only scratched his cheek.

"Hoo..." Said the big man while surprised.

"Those eyes... You... have you killed before?" asked the Big Man with a smile.

"Shut up damn it!" Shouted the young man.

The Big Man suffocated the young man and lifted him up.

"You are the first person who can injure me with just an ordinary knife." Said the Big Man as he took the young man's knife and looked at it.

"As a tribute to your pre-death, I'll introduce myself, kekekeke." Said the Big-Man with a chuckle.

"Tabh!..." Said the Big Man with a serious face.

"Remember this is hell, kid, that I was the one who killed you..." Said Tabh.

Tabh then stabbed the knife he took from the young man and stabbed it right in the heart of the young man.

"Ah!" shouted the Young-Man.

The young man began to limp and did not move at all ..., but ..., suddenly the young man smiled horribly.

"Kukuku..." The young man chuckled.

"You!... Still Alive?!" Said Tabh with a serious face.

Suddenly all over the young man body appeared a very dark mist and half of the young man face smiled horribly, the other half had the expression of a dead man.

"Helllooooo!..., Human!... Hahahahaha!..." The young man shouted while laughing.

Tabh reflexively released the young man from his grip and immediately stepped back.

"Who are you?!" Tabh asked warily.

"Haaa....., What a pleasant scene, kukuku..." The young man said with a chuckle.
