Recap of the previous chapter.
The meeting between the main character and Zhang Long. What is happening for them to meet in the hotel room? Did Zhang Mian do something improper to her stepbrother, which leads to her miserable ending? And, Ryan mentioned something about drugs. Did Zhang Mian drug him?
Let's turn back the time to ten hours before the predicament took place.
***
Ten hours ago, Zhang Wei's house.
Ryan reads the message given by Jin Wei [in case you forget, Jin Wei is the bodyguard that served Zhang Wei. He is mentioned in chapter 8] for the third time. He looked at the expressionless system. With multiple creases appeared on his forehead, Ryan said in an adamant voice.

*** (Huh!) White Ball looked at its host with a superior feeling. (If you beg me for my forgiveness, I might reconsider myself to help you.) {Okay, okay! White Ball is undoubtedly the most powerful being in this world! No one can rival you, so, please help this helpless host! I beg you, my mighty system!} Ryan pleading the system shamelessly. (Hmph! It's good that you realized those facts sooner, host.) White Ball said in a gloating tone. {Take this pill. Since you beg me earnestly, I will not deduct your measly points. It's free of charge.) {Yes, yes, White Ball. Please forgive this silly host and his rude action before. You are right, and I'm the one on the wrong side.} Ryan tried very hard to appease the system's anger. Who cares about pride? Can you eat that thing? A pill is put in Ryan's mouth. He swallowed the pill unhesitatingly. As expected of the goods from ano
Back to the first scene, everyone.***The incident that happened that night was never disclosed to the public. True to his words, Zhang Long handled the matter privately and quickly. Well, such a piece of news will disgrace the Zhang Group's images after all.Kai gets thrown away into jail because of a completely unrelated matter. He and his subordinates were caught red-handed by the police while doing illegal trading in the same hotel. Drugs and weapons were found in the private hotel room they staying in. The police said a tip by an anonymous informer reported that, Kai is doing unlawful trading and transaction with some influential figure in xxx hotel at xxx time.The weird thing is, when the police arrived at the room, Kai and his subordinates were unconscious and they looked more like corpses than living human. The police concluded that those people got beaten up by someone and we
Today is Sunday. His awaiting holiday. Finally, he could take some rest.Ryan decided to sleep until late in the evening. He felt tired, and mostly, lazy.{White Ball, we have already stayed in this world for a month. Did you able to sense the abnormal energy again?}(No, host. And, it's weird, but the serial killer didn't act for two weeks. Did he get bored?){No. Rather than stopping, he is waiting for a perfect chance to announce his existence to the world. He had a narcissistic personality. I think, he is planning something grandiosely horrible and might already implementing his decision to action.}(The situation is exactly the calm before the storm, right?)Ryan nodded his head.{I felt uneasy. There's a bad feeling in the air. Whatever the man's plans are, we shouldn't drop our vigilance, White Ball.}(For once
Cafe Au Latte In The middle of A city. The weather is humid and chilly after such a heavy downpour. The perfect time to sip coffees or warm milk teas, with some snacks and delicious cookies. If you want to find a relaxing way to spend your time after you experienced a turmoil, then, visiting this cafe is one of the must things you should put on your must-to-do list. The cafe had a simple decoration, the white curtains are paired with fragrance lavender flowers, and the owner hangs some simple, but stylish ornaments on the ceiling. Interesting words, quotes, and funny sentences with exclusive frames are plastered on the walls. Customers love to snap pictures of those words and saved them on their phones. Classical music is softly breezing its way around the cafe, giving a sense of serene and calming atmosphere to the customers. Despite the peaceful atmosphere though, the two men in the corner of the cafe, however, f
J is looking at the window in a daze. Rain is pouring harshly, and sometimes, a flash of lightning will strikeout of the blue. The cafe is still opened even in this kind of weather. The place is still half full with customers. They are still chatting and eating happily without care. (Host, I know the reason you bounded your soul to me is because of the transmigrator. If you wanted for him to keep chasing you, why would you killed his original body?) The black energy ball couldn't help but asked this one question that keeps bugging its mind. J lets out an amused chuckle. {I also wondered about that sometimes. Why did I kill him? Why did I decided to kill him even though I know how blank and boring my world will be after his death?} (You...don't know the reason? You killed him on a whim?) {From the moment I saw him, I would love to see him be painte
"Tell me honestly. Do you transmigrate here? Since when?" Ryan asked. "I am not," Derrick replied. "It's true." "How come you're here, then? And, what about Blacky?" "I made a contract with Blacky. The only thing that transferred to this world is my consciousness. Unlike you who took over this body as a whole, I'm not. I simply cohabit into this body. A mere parasite that could control the body of Derrick Lee in any desirable way I want. And, I stayed in this world for about two years?" Ryan glances at his system while raising his eyebrows. His gesture is indicating for White Ball to explain further about this phenomenal situation that Derrick experienced. {That's because your body is dead, host. Whi
Another person's point of view/flashback. *** She is staring at the morgue with lifeless eyes. Her eyes are puffy and red. It's seemed that she had been crying this entire time. Several footsteps are approaching the morgue in a rush. The two boys then stopped as they saw her standing not too far from that place while staring into the horizon. They shouted something to her, but, like a deaf person, she could never hear their voices and their desperate calling. Her heart is dead alongside the corpse that laying listlessly in the morgue. Something warm is embracing her stiff body, and she finally reacted due to the sudden embrace of the two boys. They are doing group hugging out of nowhere. "Are you...alright?" One of the boys, with black hair and mesmerizing obsidian eyes, asked her in concern. His friend also staring at her with a worried expression.
A big, black, and doe eyes staring at her are the last thing she saw before darkness takes over her body. With a loud thud, Da Kyung bumped her head on something hard. She hissed in pain. "Oww..." Rubbing the bruise on her forehead, she opened her eyes. Bright light is blinding her sight momentarily. Da Kyung blinked her eyes multiple times to adjust herself to the sudden brightness. She felt sore all over her body. "Young lady." Someone approached her. Da Kyung turned her head, to the owner of the timid voice. Beside her, there's standing a female, not older than twenty years old, wearing a full set of maid uniforms. The female averted her eyes when she found her mistress is staring at her unblinkingly. "Who are you?" Da Kyung blurted out. The female is flustered due to her sudden question. "I am Melissa. Your personal maid."
