The Urban Legend of L River Part III
According to the story of the elders, there is a fairy that lives in the L River, and whoever sees it will surely die because the fairy does not want to show its ugly face. But Edward does not believe in those things because, to him, all those are just fictions. Inspector Salazar approached him quietly with his arms crossed. "Have you found some evidence?" asked the inspector, because they couldn't get any CCTV footage from this part because it was damaged, and it was also quite dark where Myrus Kang's body was found.
Edward just shook his head. "It's not like it's clean to always work with a killer; have they found some marks on his body too?" The detective asked her, and Inspector Salazar nodded in response; they both released a deep sigh because this time their suspicion grew even stronger. "This is surely not a coincidence, Detective Yoon." "My gut feeling was telling me that only one person is behind what is happening," the woman started, "if they really think that the killer has a pattern and it just so happens that the victims attended the same high school." "And we know that," she added, causing the detective to take a step back.
That person won't probably get up from his grave, do these things, and get his revenge. "If he's the one you're referring to, maybe we need to be careful, especially since we don't know who's next," he said. He shouldn't think about himself first because if that demon is real, Sirius will be the first to be affected by it. "Looks like you're busy," Julius muttered because, to surprise the two, the reporter was wearing his usual attire for work as he wore gloves so he couldn't move inside the crime scene.
With a smile painted on his lips as he approached them, Inspector Gwendolyn Salazar rolled her eyes when she saw him. "Juls, what are you doing here?" Edward asked his friend because he didn't even send a message that he was coming here, while the inspector excused herself to continue looking for evidence. "News flash, this scoop was given to me so I could get ahead of Custudio," he joked, then gave the woman next to Edward a little look; nothing changed at all. "Come help us investigate here." The detective said nothing, and the reporter approached the inspector.
"Hi Gweny, How are you?" He asked, and the girl looked at him. "I'm fine; we're here at work, so you should cut down on your tantrums." He said then left; Julius scratched his head. "That's right," he whispered, but followed the girl where she was going. Edward shook his friend at the foolishness. "Hey, you're really silly, Juls," he continued on finding some clues that will lead them to the killer, while on the other side, Sirius yawned after writing new chapters of the novel and put off his alarm.
He made it a habit that every time he wrote, he would set an alarm so he could limit himself and not get tired of writing. He leaned on the swivel chair to rest for a while before cooking his dinner. He realized that he had been in his apartment all week and immersed himself in writing his new novel; maybe his refrigerator was empty, so he first looked at the calendar near the entrance, where there was a big window. When he gets his salary next week, maybe the remaining food will be enough.
He looked at the mirror at the bottom of the calendar and almost fell from his seat when he saw an unfamiliar man standing next to him. He tried to look at him again, and when he saw that he was not there, he breathed a sigh of relief. Maybe he just lost his sight because of hunger. The young man laughed, then, when he was about to stand up suddenly, someone pulled him back into his swivel chair, and a man suddenly appeared to him. "Hello, my dear."
(Note: Another Chapter for Sirius Novel)
After hours of work as a call center agent, finally, Helios could go home. He will just walk home today because his studio is close to where he works. Even at midnight, there are a few people hanging out at L Public Park because it is said that it is better to go for a walk at night and also see the beauty of the wide L River because of the reflection of the moon here. Helios just walks slowly because he wants to make the most of the night, especially since he doesn't have work tomorrow either.
He arrived at a party in L River where it was quite dark and empty. Helios halted on his tracks and released a deep sigh. Sometimes he wonders why he is working as a BPO agent, and he knows that it is difficult, but he has no choice. Even though he is a four-year college graduate, it is difficult to find a job now. He has tried to find work that suits his college degree, but nothing has come of it. His gaze landed on the L River, a beautiful but mysterious being.
He remembered the news that happened here before: the river is known for taking lives, so the government can't do anything but the barricade, but there are people who are just stubborn, and of course they also don't want to lose the beautiful attraction in L Public Park, so it's small, so they just put grills around the river. Helios remembered back then that his father was always here to catch fish and that his father lost his life in this same river. It's because the elders are said there some spirit are watching here in the L River and hunting it down; the moment you see them, you will surely die. Helios shook his head because his father's death was announced as murder and the killer was his own blood relative.
He sighed and took out his phone to capture a photo to post on his SNS. Helios was trying to focus the phone on the river when suddenly a silhouette appeared in the screen. He frowned then asked if there was someone, so he put the phone down, just shook his head, then raised it again, and he was about to let go of some kind of monster that suddenly appeared in front of him. He didn't continue what he was about to do earlier and decided to leave the place. Helios turned and was about to walk away, but he felt a sharp pain on his back, and then blood came out of his mouth. The next day, the local found his body floating around the river; once again, the Guardian of the L River took another life.
