After Lu Sha was arrested, her case was declared closed. Rumors circulated that she had been transformed into a killing machine by the Viper organization. As she was being transported from the courthouse to prison, countless journalists captured and published images of her online.
In the video, Lu Sha appeared pale and haggard, walking with her head down towards the transport vehicle. At that moment, she had no thoughts other than one question for the heavens: Am I the most unfairly treated person in this world?
Fearing her Chain Spear, the police sealed its firing mechanism and placed a metal casing over it. With solid evidence against her, the People's Procuratorate directly filed charges against Lu Sha for murder in court. Within a month, she was convicted of intentional homicide—sentenced to death and deprived of political rights for life.
The death penalty seemed like a satisfying outcome for punishing a murderer, but for Jiao An, it might not be good news. This meant that Jiao An's time to use Lu Sha to solve the case was very limited; death sentences were typically carried out within a week.
Jiao An tried many ways to gain access to the prison for an interview with Lu Sha, but the Caretaker repeatedly refused her on the grounds that Lu Sha was a death row inmate. Out of desperation, Jiao An resorted to drastic measures—she took advantage of the Caretaker stepping out for tea, sneaked up behind him, and knocked him unconscious. Only then did Jiao An feel secure enough to approach Gate 17 to meet Lu Sha.
Jiao An gently walked up to the prison gate and peered inside. In the dim corner, Lu Sha was curled up against the wall, her body trembling as if she were crying. Seeing how young she was, Jiao An found it hard to imagine how a girl could have killed nine people.
"Little sister?" Jiao An called softly.
Lu Sha lifted her head; her large eyes were red and swollen, indicating she had been crying for a long time.
"Try not to cry too much; it's not good for your health," Jiao An said.
"Hmph." Lu Sha scoffed coldly. "I'm about to go into a coffin; why should I care about my health? You brought me here to get a raise; are you happy? I don't care either way."
"I want to ask you a few questions and hope you can cooperate," Jiao An said calmly. "You and Lin Weixing—are you both part of the Viper organization…"
"I'm not like him!"
An enraged Lu Sha shouted, "I am innocent! Do you understand?! I didn't want to become like this! He is the real monster! Why is he free while I end up here just after turning eighteen? I haven't even held my lover's hand! Why is that fair?!"
Her voice was so loud that Director of D City Police Department and several officers rushed over, fearing something had happened to Jiao An.
Looking at this frenzied girl in prison, Jiao An felt somewhat intimidated and quickly reassured her: "Calm down. You are indeed an innocent victim of transformation, but the fact that you committed murder cannot be erased. Moreover, Lin Weixing is also an innocent victim of transformation; you cannot deny that."
"Then…" Lu Sha kicked the wall forcefully, making loud thuds. "Why was I arrested first? I want to live like a normal person! Did you ever give me a chance?!"
As another woman, Jiao An could feel Lu Sha's intense anger that was chilling.
"Alright, Lu Sha. I have two questions. First, since you say Lin Weixing is the real monster, do you have any evidence? Can you describe it for us?"
Lu Sha wiped her tears and reluctantly complied: "Lin… he looks like a normal person, but in reality, he is a beast—a monster unlike anything I've ever seen! When he underwent feralization, it was terrifying. That day he underwent transformation but something went wrong. Everyone thought he was dead; unexpectedly, he opened his eyes! After waking up, he easily killed a squad of soldiers and just left."
Lu Sha raised her head as she recalled Lin Weixing's feralization state.
"He has an extremely strong healing ability; his arms… can even grow long and sharp bone spikes."
That concluded what Lu Sha had to say.
Jiao An thought for a moment and then asked, "So, ordinary bullets can't hurt him, can they? What about you?"
Lu Sha nodded. "For the past month, I've been thinking of ways to commit suicide. The only method I could come up with is to cut off my head, to separate my body from my head. Maybe that would be beneficial for both me and Lin Weixing."
Jiao An nodded. "A woman's intuition is usually accurate. I believe you. I have one more question: do you know where he is now?"
Upon hearing this, Lu Sha shook her head and glared at Jiao An. "I don't know that. All I know is that you ended the happiness I finally found a month ago! Do you know what it feels like to be separated by life and death? You all just captured me! The people I killed were nothing but corrupt thugs who harmed the country; why?!"
"Because it's the law!" Jiao An said sternly. "The law comes first; everyone is equal! Have you ever considered that the nine people you killed also had human rights? They may have had poor character, but they could have been educated to become good citizens, yet you directly deprived them of their lives. You are executing judgment on behalf of the law without authority; this is not only a contempt for the law and a violation of its dignity but also an infringement on the rights of others! You need to understand this!"
With no other choice, Jiao An scolded her like this.
"......"
Lu Sha lowered her eyes and said, "Anyway, you won't understand the feeling of being separated from a loved one."
"No, I understand," Jiao An replied. "I understand better than you what it feels like to watch a loved one taken away by death."
Lu Sha looked up at Jiao An, whose eyes were filled with strength and tenderness.
After leaving the prison, the Director accompanied Jiao An to the door and asked, "So, does she know Lin Weixing's whereabouts?"
Jiao An shook her head and said, "It's clear they are not acting together."
Thinking about Lu Sha's eyes that were torn apart by blood and tears just moments ago, Jiao An picked up a water bottle and gulped down some water.
"To be honest, from this girl’s words, I sensed humanity. I, Jiao An, want to believe she can still become a good person in the future. I hope the law can give her a chance... It's a pity; she's just turned eighteen... That Lin Weixing might be our real enemy."
In the commercial street of E County
Wearing a hat and sunglasses, Lin Weixing casually put his hands in his pockets and walked down the street with his head down. He didn't look at anyone ahead because he knew everyone was avoiding him.
Reaching into his pants pocket, he fiddled with the five hundred yuan he planned to use today as he walked toward a self-service hot pot restaurant at the corner.
However, just as Lin Weixing pushed open the door, it was pushed open from inside by two men in black suits! The three collided directly without yielding to each other.
Lin Weixing didn't use much force and stumbled back onto the ground. He stood up and shouted at the two men in black who were walking past him, "Hey, you don't say sorry after knocking someone down?"
"Sorry? Sorry doesn't exist in our dictionary," one of the men replied dismissively.
These two men completely ignored Lin Weixing's accusation and turned around to throw punches at him.
"Well, looks like I bumped into the right people."
Rolling his eyes, Lin Weixing extended his hands to lightly catch their punches and casually pushed them down to the ground.
"You two scum," Lin Weixing cursed as he turned around but found four more men in black coming out of the store!
"Alright, young man, impressive strength! Where did you learn that?"
The leader among them was a short man in blue clothing who slowly clapped his hands a few times with a sneer as he stepped forward.
"Heh, self-taught; just a homeless guy." Not wanting to cause any more trouble, Lin Weixing turned to leave.
"A homeless guy... not bad." The greasy short man snapped his fingers and pulled out a bamboo tube from his pocket. He took a deep breath and blew out a poisoned dart that pierced Lin Weixing's neck!
Although Lin Weixing had already sensed danger when he heard the whistle, he didn't turn around in time. In the end, he staggered before collapsing as two men caught him.
"Take him back," the short man commanded quietly, then explained to the people looking into the store, "Sorry, this is a patient from my private clinic. It seems like an old illness has relapsed! Don't worry!"
When Lin Weixing woke up, he found himself tied to the wall, wearing nothing but his underwear.
The short man was sitting in a chair, casually smoking with his legs crossed. Seeing Lin Weixing awake, he flicked the ash from his cigarette and said, "Let me introduce myself. My name is Li Yue, and welcome to Petrus Casino. I am the owner here."
"What do you want?" Lin Weixing asked irritably.
"Nothing much. You see how dangerous it is for you to be wandering around all day. Why not work for me? I'll pay you a salary. What do you say?"
"I've killed before, and I'm wanted by the police."
"Oh come on, what's that?" Li Yue seemed somewhat unfazed as he patted a big man beside him and said, "I have plenty of people here who have killed. Don't worry; you're absolutely safe with me. This is an underground casino. If you refuse..."
"I refuse."
"Haha, fair enough!" Li Yue replied without hesitation. "Then let me give you a little welcome gift."
Li Yue signaled for a big man to step forward. The man held a dagger and plunged it straight into Lin Weixing's stomach, making a deep cut—he intended to disembowel Lin Weixing.
However! Before much blood could flow, Lin Weixing's stomach quickly sealed up the wound as if nothing had happened!
The big man stared wide-eyed in shock.
"Oh my god!" Li Yue also stood up in surprise, adjusting his glasses to scrutinize Lin Weixing. "What kind of Pokémon are you?"
"Is this it? A welcome gift?" Lin Weixing rolled his eyes. "Okay, then I'll give you one too."
With that, Lin Weixing began to exert force, breaking free from the thin iron chains that bound him and landing on the ground. With a wicked smile, he tensed his body and prepared to attack Li Yue!
Seeing Lin Weixing turn towards his employer, seven big men quickly surrounded him, blocking Li Yue.
"You are quite the rare talent," Li Yue said from behind the men. "How about this: young man, become my personal bodyguard. I'll pay you fifty thousand a month as salary, and you can choose your accommodation and women. What do you think?"
"This seems somewhat advantageous," Lin Weixing thought, hesitating. Although he had three hundred thousand saved up, he had hidden that money away; in other words, he was essentially broke now.
"Is this safe?" Lin Weixing felt tempted.
"Of course! This is an underground casino; only people from the black market know about it," Li Yue said eagerly.
"I..."
Lin Weixing pretended to ponder for a moment, scratching his face dismissively.
"Think it over."
With that, Lin Weixing crouched down on the ground, ready to pounce at any moment.
