He just broke up with his girlfriend and is already living with the devilish rich girl.

"Boom—!"

A pale bolt of lightning tore through the pitch-black night, illuminating the entire world as if it were daytime.

Then came a deafening clap of thunder, as if it were about to shatter people's eardrums.

The torrential rain poured down, pounding hard against the glass windows of the Special Administration building.

It made a series of crackling sounds.

Female agent Li Na closed the window of the last archive room and carefully checked the lock.

"Alright, the inspection is complete here."

She spoke into the walkie-talkie.

"Received. I've also checked the flood control equipment, and everything is normal."

My colleague's voice came through the walkie-talkie.

"Okay, I'll go downstairs to get some late-night snacks then."

Li Na hung up the call and turned to leave.

As she walked down the long corridor, she suddenly heard some kind of singing.

The singing was very soft.

Like a wisp of smoke drifting aimlessly, it lingered in the silent corridor.

"Sleep, sleep, my dear baby..."

"Mommy's hands are gently rocking you..."

Li Na's steps froze instantly.

Her blood seemed to freeze at that moment.

This song...

This song!

Her pupils suddenly contracted, and a bloody scene, buried deep in her memory, flashed before her eyes.

It suddenly popped into her mind.

That was also a rainy night like that.

Her mother was also an agent of the Special Administration Bureau, and she received numerous commendations for her combat skills.

But in the end, he died in a retaliatory operation against the Special Administration.

Right in their home.

She witnessed firsthand how the monster slowly gnawed away at her mother's lower body.

She hid in the closet, covering her mouth tightly, not daring to make a sound.

And her mother, on her deathbed, tried to keep her from being scared and from crying out loud.

She kept humming this lullaby that she had heard since she was a child.

Until finally, the sound completely disappeared.

That was the shadow of her life, a nightmare she could never escape.

"Clatter".

The light at the end of the corridor suddenly went out.

"Clatter".

The second one.

One by one, the lights went out in her direction.

Darkness engulfed her like a tidal wave.

Finally, at the end of the corridor, in that impenetrable darkness.

Something slowly crawled out.

It was a woman who only had half a body.

She dragged her bloodied lower body, leaving a long trail of blood on the ground.

She looked up, revealing a face that looked exactly like Li Na's mother's.

"Nana...Mom...is here to pick you up..."

"ah--!"

Just as Li Na was about to have a mental breakdown and was about to scream in a frenzy,

A figure appeared silently behind her.

A hand moved with lightning speed, delivering a precise chop to the back of her neck.

Li Na's vision went black, and she collapsed limply to the ground.

Bai Ziheng steadily supported her body, letting her lean against the wall.

He stared indifferently at the "woman" who was still crawling in front of him.

The "woman's" body began to twist and deform, and finally, it turned back into the monster with long, thin limbs and a canine head.

"Every wrong has its perpetrator, every debt its debtor; don't take action against innocent people."

Bai Ziheng's voice was like it had been chilled to the bone.

"Human fear is not only the fear of monsters, but also the longing and guilt towards one's loved ones."

"Don't toy with their memories."

"I will clear the way for you so you can find the person you're looking for."

"Did you understand?"

The monster nodded slightly.

Then it quietly crawled past Bai Ziheng.

...

...

It's 2 p.m. at night.

The torrential rain showed no signs of stopping.

After inspecting the flood control equipment, the male officer returned to the lobby, took off his soaking wet coat, and casually tossed it onto a chair.

He wiped the rain off his face and looked around in confusion.

"Strange, where's Li Na?"

He remembered that Li Na was in charge of checking the windows inside the building, so she should have returned before him.

The other people who were still having late-night snacks said they hadn't seen Li Na come back.

So he picked up the walkie-talkie.

"Li Na, Li Na, please respond."

There was only a hissing sound from the walkie-talkie.

He tried several more times, but the result was the same.

"What the hell...?"

The male operator frowned, a bad feeling rising in his heart.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the hall, Fu Yang and Zheng Xingguang were still talking with Father Constantine.

Sister Arya has gone to the medical department without her sister's knowledge; she has suffered a mental breakdown and requires special treatment.

"So, you mean that just as you were about to subdue that monster, a huge white wolf suddenly appeared, not only stopping you but also taking the monster and another... well, a woman who seemed to be an alien, away with it?"

Fu Yang rubbed his temples, feeling like his head was about to explode.

"That's right."

Father Constantine looked serious.

"That white wolf was incredibly powerful, and... I could sense that it didn't have any evil aura."

"On the contrary, it seems to be preventing a much larger massacre."

Zheng Xingguang and Fu Yang exchanged a glance, both seeing a hint of understanding in each other's eyes.

They were all certain that the white wolf the priest spoke of was the same white wolf that had helped them on several occasions.

Now, Zheng Xingguang has learned its true identity.

It was her brother-in-law, Bai Ziheng.

What exactly does my brother-in-law want to do?

Zheng Xingguang was filled with doubt.

Just then, the male officer who had gone to inspect the flood control equipment earlier ran over anxiously.

"Captain Fu, have you seen Li Na?"

"No, what's wrong? Didn't she go to close the window?"

"Yeah, she just told me she was done with work and was going down for a late-night snack, but I can't get in touch with her at all!"

Fu Yang frowned deeply.

He keenly sensed that something was amiss.

He immediately stood up and called out to the operators who were chatting around the table.

"Everyone who's still eating late-night snacks, stop! Conduct a floor-by-floor inspection of the building immediately!"

"Work in pairs, keep communication open! Report any problems immediately!"

Then he looked at Zheng Xingguang.

"Xiao Guang, go to the guest room section on the fifth floor and check on Kang Zhengyuan's condition."

"Damn it, I have a feeling something's about to happen."

...

...

At this moment, in a guest room on the fifth floor.

Kang Zhengyuan was sitting on the edge of the bed, holding his daughter tightly in his arms.

My daughter is asleep, breathing evenly.

But he just couldn't fall asleep.

Thunder rumbled outside the window, and lightning flashed intermittently, illuminating his face, which was etched with fear and unease.

Is it really safe to stay here?

He looked at his sleeping daughter's face in his arms and felt a pang of pain in his heart.

in case……

If only we had done it back then, when we were conducting that damned experiment...

I need to be more determined to report and expose these things...

Would that have prevented the subsequent events from happening?

If that's the case, her daughter won't turn out like that.

He closed his eyes in anguish, unable to bear thinking any further.
