"The killer was arrested half a month ago?"
Su He heard a chilling story from Hou Police Officer.
A cartoonist drew ten comics, themed around terrifying murder cases, each depicting a woman being brutally killed.
The cartoonist uploaded the works onto the internet and started an event called "Ten Comics".
There was no introduction, but beside the comics was a blank box with an upload button.
Until one day, a photo appeared on the website, and the story of Ten Comics began...
The cartoonist was arrested by the police, but the influence of Ten Comics gradually spread across Kunyang.
Was the killer the cartoonist, or someone influenced by the cartoonist?
Who would be the next killer?
Anyone who had seen the comics could potentially become a killer. The first case occurred in Kaohsiung City, and the next in Jiufen. The entire Kunyang had become the murder scene for the cartoonist!
Su He's phone rang. It was Director Yu Qing.
"What? Fan Xiaotong is missing?"
Su He jumped up, causing the coffee cup to roll across the table and smash on the floor.
"Where did she go missing?"
"The hospital..."
Su He and Hou Police Officer exchanged a glance, their eyes fixed on one of the comics.
A murder scene set in a hospital ward!
"I'll drive!" Su He snatched Hou Police Officer's car keys and ran outside.
In the passenger seat, Hou Police Officer contacted the station for backup as they rushed to the hospital.
At 5 AM, with only a few cars on the streets, a police cruiser suddenly roared by, drifting around a corner with a piercing screech.
At the intersection, a street sweeper was taken aback as trash flew everywhere. "What the hell was that? Got my blood pumping..."
Inside the car, Hou Police Officer clung to the door handle for dear life as Su He took several sharp turns before finally relaxing.
"Su He, you drive like a professional racer..." As the car stopped at the hospital entrance, Hou Police Officer couldn't help but remark.
"I know a bit... I'm planning to enroll in a driving school when I return to the capital," Su He said as he got out and headed for the hospital.
No driver's license?
"He must be joking, right?" Hou Police Officer's legs felt weak as he exited the car, but he quickly caught up to Su He.
In the hospital lobby, Director Yu Qing and some crew members were anxiously speaking with the police. Su He went straight up and asked, "Have you checked the security cameras?"
"Su He... we did, but there are no cameras in the ward or hallways... The other cameras didn't catch Fan Xiaotong either, or any sign of her leaving the hospital. We've searched every room, it's like she vanished into thin air..."
Vanished into thin air? Impossible. Su He exchanged a look with Hou Police Officer, who ordered a full lockdown and room-by-room search of the hospital.
Su He was deeply anxious. Though he and Fan Xiaotong had known each other for less than 24 hours, the young girl had already made a profound impression on him. If only he had accompanied her to the hospital, this wouldn't have happened!
In the security room, Su He repeatedly reviewed the footage of Fan Xiaotong's admission until her disappearance was discovered.
Earlier, Su He had a man send Fan Xiaotong to the ambulance. After checking in, that man was seen leaving the hospital.
With it being the early morning hours, there were few people and vehicles entering or leaving, except for one hearse headed to the mortuary.
"The comic!"
Su He looked up at Hou Police Officer, who produced one of the comics. Su He flipped to a panel depicting a coffin lined with ice, a woman's corpse lying atop the ice. Upon closer inspection, her limbs and torso were severed, her head detached and held on by a wooden stake.
Icy bloodied water pooled across the panel, drenching the eerie, blood-red scene.
The killer wasn't in the hospital!
Hou Police Officer's team had searched the entire building without finding Fan Xiaotong.
"Keys!" Su He extended his hand toward Hou Police Officer.
Hou Police Officer hesitated, then placed the keys in Su He's palm. "It'll be daylight soon, drive carefully..."
Hou Police Officer took the passenger seat and guided Su He to the mortuary.
Located in a secluded area, as they neared their destination, Su He turned off the lights and sirens. Arriving at the gate, he scaled the walls to slip inside.
The hearse from the security footage was still parked in the courtyard. Su He and Hou Police Officer split up to search the premises.
"Thump, thump, thump..."
Suddenly, the silence of the mortuary was broken.
Su He dashed toward the source of the sound.
Kicking open a door, he found a scrawny man carrying a large bucket filled with ice cubes.
Their eyes met briefly before the man turned and fled.
Su He didn't give chase. On the floor nearby, Fan Xiaotong lay mumbling, "Su He... ghost..."
A gunshot rang out from outside. Fan Xiaotong rolled over, continuing to sleep.
A piece of paper on the ground caught Su He's eye - it was one of the comics.
Inside the room, a coffin was half-filled with ice. In the corner sat an electric saw.
...
Dawn broke as Su He dozed off in the police cruiser.
Hou Guangyi removed his uniform, draping it over Su He before heading into the station.
Four of the Ten Comics had been realized, the fifth thwarted - but the cases could occur again at any moment.
In the interrogation room, the scrawny man Tan Peng had bandages around his bullet-wounded leg.
"Who is the 'he' in your group chat?"
Police had discovered a group chat titled "Ten Comics" on Tan Peng's phone, filled with disturbing, bloody content. A user nicknamed "he" was live-streaming the killings.
"Don't know him..." Tan Peng glanced defiantly at Hou Police Officer. "You caught one of us, but there are thousands more... We're creating art. Have you ever seen photos this intense?"
"Hahaha, we're everywhere..."
Hou Police Officer approached Tan Peng and pressed down on his leg wound, staring into his eyes as he applied increasing pressure. "You're all just rats crawling out of the sewer. I'll root every one of you out..."
The scrawny man gritted his teeth, refusing to make a sound as he glared back at Hou Police Officer.
"It's just attempted murder, officer... won't be in for too long!"
Leaving the interrogation room, Hou Guangyi could no longer contain his rage. He stormed into the bathroom, shouting at the mirror, "Damn it!"
Hell is empty, and the devils are here on Earth!
lity and could only live as an ordinary mortal. He only wished to live a peaceful life. Yet he didn't know— The dog he adopted, because it ate his food, became a legendary demon king. The kitchen knife he casually forged became a peerless divine weapon, causing numerous experts to fight desperately for it. The young disciple he took in became an immortal lord that led an era, due to cultivating the techniques Ye Feng taught him. Even the skeletons he looked down on the most were ominous demon kings that suppressed countless worlds. Many years later, looking at the void shattered with a punch, Ye Feng murmured to himself: It turns out the peerless kings were myself all along...

ive and Ruthless] Before his transmigration, Ye Xuan was playing a game called "Severing Emotions to Attain the Dao." The game's core wasn't about leveling up by fighting monsters, but about conquering various "bad women" with wicked personalities and cold, fickle natures. There was only one method to conquer them: stay unwaveringly by their side, then die at a critical moment, driving them to madness after losing the protagonist. The higher their level of regret, the higher the player's score. To dominate the server, Ye Xuan conquered all the bad women. In the early stages, he showered them with boundless tenderness, only to choose to sacrifice himself for them later, making them weep bitterly and drown in regret. Among them were: Xia Lengyue, the unfaithful immortal wife who chased after powerful men and discarded her husband like trash. Ye Qingcheng, the Demonic Venerable of the Joyous Union Sect, who appeared pure and innocent but was, in reality, promiscuous. Wu Lingxiao, the Empress of the Great Xia Dynasty, who lusted after men and loved maintaining a harem. Bai Qiangu of the Endless Demonic Sect: a bloodthirsty mass murderer. However, when the protagonist transmigrated into the game world, he made a horrifying discovery. Eight hundred years had already passed. The bad women he had conquered had now each become deities and revered ancestors. Faced with the endless stream of toxic women coming for him, Ye Xuan could only rely on his god-tier acting skills to carve a path of survival through this world of treacherous women.
