It's dawn.

At some point, the terrifying surroundings and blood-red light returned to normal.

Hannah, who had spent almost the whole night in terror, was a little sleep-deprived, and she got up from the cozy little bed with a vague step.

On the stairs came the sound of my mother's footsteps going upstairs.

She winced for fear of seeing the frightening image of her skinny, skinny, dried corpse mother walking through the door with ten pointed fingers......

The door was pushed open.

It's emaciated Marilyn.

The expected horror did not appear, which made the little girl breathe a sigh of relief, and jumped up from the bed and threw herself into Marilyn's arms.

……

Evening.

A chaotic neighborhood somewhere in New York known as "Hell's Kitchen."

Will drives his beloved Ford, and while it's not a new car, what Will likes is the unpretentiousness of the old-fashioned muscle car.

Turning the last corner, through the windshield, Will saw many flashing police lights and his colleagues who were cordoning off a house......

"What's the situation?" Will grabbed his latte and pushed the door open and got out of the car.

"Hell's Kitchen recipe - slaughter, you have to be prepared, don't be scared to vomit for a while." My colleague Nitz came up and added a mocking.

Will lifted the cordon he had just drawn and gave Netz a middle finger without looking back.

Ten seconds later.

Will looked a little bad, just like those colleagues.

A young trainee has rushed out of the room, and the sound of vomiting can be heard from the lawn outside. The two forensic doctors were the best performers in the crowd, but even these guys, who were used to seeing corpses, were a little stiff at this point.

Jane, a Chinese female forensic doctor who has worked with Will for many years, explained the situation to him......

Judging from the scene, 7 bodies have been found in the entire house, all of them are young people between 20~35 years old, and after identity verification, it can be basically determined that they are a gang of gangsters living in this house.

"Cannibalism? Or is it a gang vendetta? Will asked a question he didn't believe he had.

Because whether it's cannibalism or a premeditated attack by other gangs...... With the police's understanding of these scumbags, it is impossible for this house to be as "clean" as it is now.

After a vicious battle, it is bound to be a mess and scattered bullet casings everywhere.

However it was so clean here.

Nothing was messed up, and even Will saw several of the victims who died on the couch with TV remotes, wine glasses, and cigarettes that had burned between their fingers.

He crouched down and approached the extinguished cigarette butt.

The place where the other person's finger caught the cigarette was already blackened, but that didn't make the black man let go of the cigarette butt.

"He didn't put down his cigarette when he died?"

This discovery made Will a little uneasy.

Although he didn't understand why this was the case for a while, as an elite police detective in the New York police system, his years of experience in handling cases made him very sensitive and vigilant to this unusual phenomenon.

He stood up.

Looking around, he began to put himself in the shoes of the murderer, trying to deduce what happened in reverse based on the information of the surrounding environment......

Soon, the surrounding cops vanished in Will's imaginary world, and like a fast-moving videotape, the corpses sat up again, whether it was a broken head or a severed limb reset, and the blood splattered everywhere returned to the veins with a gravitational force......

Will, in the world he had reworked backwards, watched as a bystander as these reanimated people moved around the house.

In the kitchen and dining room near the door, four young gang members are playing cards at a table, either shirtless or in vests.

They had guns at hand and on their bodies.

These are some cheap second-hand guns circulating on the black market, most of which are lost guns or stolen guns that have been replaced.

But they were all dead, and they didn't pick up the guns they had at hand to return fire until they died, they sat at the table and were suddenly attacked by some kind of weapon, and they died.

There are three people in the living room.

A strong, fierce-looking African-American leader sat on the sofa, smiling proudly and talking to the two people next to him.

The other two sat on the couch on the side, one of them with a loaded shotgun on the coffee table.

This is a very vigilant group of gangsters.

The brutal environment of Hell's Kitchen has created these vigilant and vigilant thugs ready to fight their enemies.

Will could almost have foreseen that if someone burst into the house, they would immediately pull out their pistols, shotguns, and Uzi rifles, and unleash countless inaccurate but equally deadly bullets at the enemy!

But these people died without doing anything.

Some people even lose their lives and ...... without even dropping the cigarette between their fingers The whole brain!

The scene shook in reverse.

Unable to guess how the killer had committed the murder, Will returned to reality when another forensic doctor approached with two sealed bags for small pieces of evidence.

The solemnity on his face barely needed to open his mouth for Will to vaguely perceive something: "Oh no, they found two more ears in the bathroom, and the ears of the corpses at the scene were not missing, and both ears were left ears......"

"Nine victims?" Jane's tone was solemn.

Will looked at the bloodstained and mutilated ears in the evidence bag, but suddenly understood something.

Many of the previously incoherent details are now suddenly much clearer!

"Nine for now." He said.

"For the time being?! You're saying there are still bodies that haven't been found? Jane was incredulous, and the other policemen on the side were all looking at the same thing.

Although 'Hell's Kitchen' is very messy, so chaotic that these cops will not patrol here after dark unless they have the necessary tasks.

But how to say it...... This kind of massacre, which could have exceeded 10 people, is also too appalling.

Will shook his head.

"I mean...... I know the purpose of the murderer's killing, this is not an ordinary gang vendetta or torture. The murderer's purpose of killing is far more terrifying than we think. ”

"Huh?" Everyone was confused by Will's words.

And Will has no intention of selling anything at this time.

He directly stated his speculation: "The murderer's purpose in killing is very simple - that is, he is hungry. If nothing else, the owner of the two ears must be a woman, because only the women are still in basic cleanliness in this environment, and they are much cleaner than the other male gang members. ”

"W-how is it possible?! You're saying the killer ate two women?! How is it possible for a man to eat two people?! ”

Will's eyes were full of solemn gloom: "I never said that the murderer was human...... Inform the above, this case is no longer for us mortals to take over. ”
