Abruptly, a horrible voice full of terror rang out.

It was the man's voice, the one who wore a pair of glasses standing next to the bus stop.

He pressed his head heavily, letting out a roar, as if seeing something fearful.

"Ah!!! Ah!!! Don't come over!! Don't come!!!"

The man squatted down with a pale face, body shivered with fear.

"Sir? Are you ok?"

A kind passer-by came and patted his shoulder. Soon, this place was surrounded by onlookers because of his scream.

"Sir?"

"Don't come over!! Get out here!!"

He shoved the passer-by's arm, rolling and crawling out of the crowd.

The man bumped into pedestrians again and again.

Nobody knew what he witnessed that got him so fearful.

"What happened here?"

While the crowd was still confused, a person with weird clothing came, asking one onlooker.

It turned out it was a person with a man's voice, but that person had long hair and was in female clothes.

A perverted crossdresser?

"Tell me what happened?!"

"Some weird guy who seemed to be in a lot of pain just ran over there."

"Was he wear a pair of glasses with a mole at the corner of his eye?"

"I don't know if there's a mole, but he wears glass.. Oh, man, wait, can I have a photo with you? I don't mind if you are a cross-dressing man.."

But this cross-dressing freak had rushed out of the crowd.

People left gradually.

"What happened here?"

A middle-aged and big-belly man asked one passer-by.

"Tut, I thought it was the cross-dressing man.."

"What are you muttering? Police! Let me ask you, did you see a crossdresser.."

..

..

The man... Cao Yu, was now hiding in a dim alley; he shuddered seriously.

Countless shadows were filled in his sight.. but there was only one shadow in reality.

It turned into a person wearing a black robe.

Black Soul No.18 whispered at Cao Yu's ear, with laughter, "You're not necessary in this world.. I like torturing magicians, especially watching you become crazy in the abyss of desperation, and despair even more.. hahaha.."

"Get out here!! Don't laugh!! don't laugh!!!"

Cao Yu covered his ears hard, but that harsh and terrible laughter resounded clearly in his brain.

Cao Yu then did a crazy thing: he destroyed his eardrums! Just to get rid of the agony brought by the laughter!

Ah---!

He screamed!

"You think you won't hear it that way? No.. It'll get even clearer, until you can even see it. More and more and more!"

The laughter could still be heard distinctly.

Black Soul No. 18 showed a twisted smile, "Magician, are you in pain? Despair?... but it's just less than 1/10000 of what I suffered in old days.. I swear, I will kill all the magicians that I meet! You could have lived longer and if chose to run away that time, I would not be able to catch you because of my task. But now, you put your neck into the noose, so don't blame me, it's all your luck, hehe.."

"Stop laughing!!"

He almost had a mental breakdown. He only wished to get rid of the nightmare.. for this, he was even willing to pay everything he had.

"Oh my god, what a strong wish you have, tut.."

Black Soul No. 18 shook her head, "What a pity. I have countless of merits, but never used my vacations.. I used all my merits to strengthen my ability.. Isolation! As long as I wish, and as long as you're weaker than me.. you'll have no chance to enter the club, tut.. You can only watch yourself die in desperation. Take it easy, I'll take 'care' of you."

"Lunatic!! You are a lunatic!!"

"I'll have you see things that make you even more hopeless.. Magician, are you ready? Tut.."

"I would never let you be..Ah!!!"

Cao Yu laughed.. even if he was in a desperate situation. He knew he couldn't escape from this demon-like witch; and at the same time, he didn't want to continue bearing this hopelessness.

He didn't want her to be satisfied---so he chose to commit suicide!

He stabbed a knife into his heart, sneering while bleeding, "I will..never..let you..be.."

Black Soul No.18 sneered, "Stupid magician, do you think you're completely dead? Look at this!"

Black Soul No.18 opened her black robe, and countless of twisted and despairing faces were filled in it!

Cao Yu lay alongside the wall, slowly falling down. While bleeding, he was approaching the end of his life. However, he didn't understand what those faces meant!

Soul.. all of them were souls!

This horrible and crazy witch was torturing these souls every day and night!

"They..are..all..magicians.." Cao Yu felt extremely cold, with a heavy heart.

"Yes, you're right, your reward is.." Magic light emitted from Black Soul No.18's eyes, "becoming one of them, haha.."

She collected her robes, walking to Cao Yu and stretching her hands, ready to press his forehead.

"Put your hands up!"

Wang Yuechuan held his gun up, appearing behind Black Soul No.18.. He clearly saw Cao Yu on the ground, as well as the weird person wearing a black robe.

He judged the situation.. This black-robe person had probably tortured him seriously!

"Another person that doesn't know death." Black Soul No.18 didn't turn back, because she felt he was not a threat to her.

She didn't want anyone to disturb her 'interest'.

"Put your hands up! And go to the wall!" Wang Yuechuan said calmly, "You'll never escape."

"Do you think you can kill me with a gun? Stupid human!" Black Soul No.18 raised up her arm with head tilted.

A streak of purple light generated on her palm.

At the same time, another pair of footsteps was heard.. It was heavy accompanied by heavy breathing.

"F*ck, I've found you.. what happened here?"

It was Officer Ma.

He looked around, gun pointed at the black-robe guy, "F*ck, hold still! I'm Ma Houde, a policeman! Now I'm arresting you!"

"OK, I won't move. Don't be too agitated.."

The voice shocked him---It was an old woman's voice.

Not only Officer Ma, Wang Yuechuan was stunned too.

She really obeyed.

Black Soul No.18 had to give in.. because of the identity of Ma Houde..

She dared not to hurt Ma Houde.

Black Soul No. 18 glanced at Cao Yu. She couldn't torture him, well, she would just have to let him go after having that meal.

"Go put your hands on the wall!" Ma Houde yowled.

"OK." Black Soul No.18 replied and went to the wall.

But at that moment, she suddenly threw off the robe, and something dropped down. 'Boom!' a mass of smoke appeared.

"F*ck! Aerosol bomb! Officer Wang, don't shoot! Officer Wang, Officer Wang!!"

"Stop shouting, I'm here."

Ma Houde waved to disperse the smoke; he faintly looked at Wang Yuechuan that was kneeling on the ground. After the smoke dispersed, Officer Ma picked up a can.

It was only a common cola can.

"F*ck! Is it the newest smoke screen?" Officer Ma was sure that this was the thing the old woman threw down.

He shook it heavily.. but found nothing special.

"Officer Ma, call an ambulance." Wang Yuechuan said quickly.

Ma Houde nodded, looking at the man with a knife stabbed in his heart.

Cao Yu breath was pretty weak, but still revealed a weird smile.. as if he relieved.

"Cao Yu! You are Cao Yu, right! Answer me!" Wang Yuechuan asked.

He saw his ears bleed, but he had no time to care these, "Did you tempt those people to commit crimes one year ago? What method did you tell them? And what's your purpose? Tell me!!"

Cao Yu opened his eyes slightly, he couldn't listen to his words.. but could guess what Wang Yuechuan said.

"You..found..me.." Cao Yu voice became lower, "The answer..an, swer..You'll.. be...the, the next..I.. you'll fall..the darkness, darkness will..swallow you.."

As he said this, he looked down to his body.

Following his gaze, Wang Yuechuan felt about Cao Yu's clothes.. he found a book.

"What do you mean? What's this? Tell me!" Wang Yuechuan was shocked.. at the moment he took this book, his heart beat faster.

"Tell me!!"

He shook Cao Yu's shoulder heavily, but he didn't hear his voice again.

"He's gone."

Ma Houde squatted down and check his breath, and touched his pulse. He shook his head, "Totally dead."

Officer Ma shuddered suddenly.

Because of the evil smile on this fellow. He might have done some villainous deed before dying.

..

..

The alley was cordoned off; the policeman needed to obtain evidence from Cao Yu's dead body.

Officer Ma took a smoke break before going to Wang Yuechuan. He probably didn't feel too good after hunting that man for more than one year.

Wang Yuechuan was leaning against the wall.

"This is Cao Yu, dead of reason unknown." Ma Houde took this as the subject and opened his mouth, "Who's that old woman? Why did she kill Cao Yu? Do you have any idea? Is there anything that you didn't tell me before?"

It was reasonable for Officer Ma to suspect, because he never knew about such a weird old woman.

After investigating, no neighbors said they ever saw such a black-robe person.

"I have no idea about her." Wang Yuechuan shook his head, "Maybe she was the enemy of Cao Yu. He died from torture. But I'm not sure.. Since he is dead, I cannot ask him any longer."

"Oh.." Ma Houde shrugged, and asked suddenly, "What's this?"

In Wang Yuechuan's hand, there was a thick book which was taken from Cao Yu.

"I don't know." Wang Yuechuan shook head as opened this book, "Do you know this language?"

"I only know the 26 alphabets." Ma Houde opened it, "They are like earthworm words.. give me some time, I know several university professors!"

"Then let me do it myself." Wang Yuechuan took it back.

Officer Ma couldn't help but shrug.

Cao Yu was Wang Yuechuan's target, and Zhao Ru's case was under Officer Ma. Now that Zhao Ru had been arrested and was laying in the hospital, Officer Ma had finished his task.

And finally had time to drink the soup his wife cooked.

While Officer Ma was immersing himself in such a wonderful thought, his phone rang.

"What? Zhao Ru disappeared again??"
