Anatomy of a Killer

Chapter 127 - Live

On the fifth day of investigation, the special police force formed to capture the Judge of Death achieved a major breakthrough in their investigation.

According to the investigation, the hospital closest to the crime scene had recently lost a vial of muscle-dissolving medication. That night, the pharmacy where the medication was stored suffered a sudden power outage. After the power supply was restored, the medical st...

Anatomy of a Killer

Chapter 126 - Attack Again

"Is the next victim a high school girl?

"Why is the sin rate so high for a high school student?" Larry was a little bewildered. Generally, crimes like theft, shoplifting, and prostitution were not of his importance. Only crimes like murder or belonging to a criminal organization barely warranted entering his sight, and yet, this girl he was supposed to kill was special when he received the full report.

When Rick heard these words, his Colt was instantly drawn from his waist, but soon the sound of guns being cocked filled the ears of Rick’s trio, followed by the calm voice of Gareth.

“Haha, you’re truly a cautious man. There are only three of you out in the open while the rest hide in the woods. Do you think we’re stupid?”

Seeing that he was surrounded, Rick steadied himself...

City of Atlanta.

"These people acted against the organization, deliberately trying to steal food and weapons in a plan to escape! Their crimes are irreparable, and therefore their sentence has been decided!"

At that moment, many people were gathered in an open space. Everyone looked with resentful expressions at those kneeling on the ground, who now trembled with fear. Their bodies bore...

Chapter 298 - Crossing

Jason immediately ran to the back of the modified RV, looked back through the firing port, and saw some shadows moving vaguely at the far end of the road in the distance.

A convoy!

Are they the Saviors?

Judging by the current situation, there was a high probability the Saviors would catch up with them.

Seeing this, Jason knew he couldn't let it continue like this.

In the end, these people accepted the proposal to go to Atlanta, which included Hilltop, Alexandria, the Kingdom, and Negan’s group.

As for the more than one hundred remaining people, they were a bit special. These people had been under the abuse of the Saviors. They all belonged to the same faction. Victor and Daryl had conducted an investigation, and the information they obtained was su...

Chapter 54 - Paralysis

Jonathan drove quickly to the Jericho police station, where he expected to have a brief meeting with Sheriff Galpin.

The dark entity that had been summoned was very powerful, similar to the greatest opponents he had faced, and that was why a more veteran team was being sent by what he intuited was The Order, the organization created by his family.

That was why his current priority was to have fu...

Chapter 53 - Energy

A few days had passed since Enid had set aside her investigation that led nowhere and focused on her team to win the Poe Cup.

Meanwhile, Wednesday sought guidance from Jonathan about dark entities and how she could use her ability to help him.

Since then, Jonathan practiced with her, using his skill to see if she was capable of glimpsing the future he so desperately wanted to uncover.

Chapter 52 - Enid’s Investigation

"Do you know where they are?" Enid was thinking about leaving the academy somehow to look for those who wanted to summon Slenderman.

She didn’t want to wait for Jonathan to have a very big reason to act, since she believed she could prevent it much earlier. She wouldn’t have to worry about a hunter anymore if she became the helper of one.

Wednesday, intrigued by what they would ...

Chapter 51 - It’s Different

Jonathan did not take very seriously the problems that Enid had mentioned. This was one of his best attitudes; he wouldn’t go crazy eliminating dark entities since he felt no guilt or debt.

People had to take care of their own problems for a few days, that was truly the meaning of living life. Many of those who make mistakes again and again expect that someone else will always solve their pro...

Bang! Bang! Bang!

With the combined intervention of several organized groups, the intruders in Alexandeia were finally dwindling, and the remaining wolves showed signs of wanting to retreat. There were more than fifty corpses, and with Liam’s continuous and furious attacks only a few of the enemies escaped.

Many of the guards standing in the square fell silent, looking at the ground at...

Negan, who was watching him, also showed a smile, but his eyes gave off a strong murderous intent.

At the same time the long-haired man looked at him provocatively, Negan also smiled, then swung the bat in his hand and slammed the wolf’s head into the ground once more.

Blood streamed from Negan’s bat, and pieces of skin could be seen stuck to the metal fence wrapped around the bat.

Nevermore Academy

Enid kept thinking deeply about what had happened that night with the hunter and the monster. The truth was, it had been a traumatic experience.

“Tell me, what happened with what you said you would investigate?” Wednesday approached Enid, trying to find a reason to keep digging.

“Nothing yet.” Enid seemed discouraged; she had hoped to find somethi...

A few hours later, Jonathan received an emergency call. A man sent by his private contacts was going to inform him about new discoveries from an investigation he had started, and Jonathan had to attend that meeting before deciding what he would do next.

Jonathan sped up his vehicle along the lonely roads, the wind whipping harshly as he headed toward the café where the meeting would take place. The ...

[Report successfully sent, thank you for sharing the information about the multiple murder case in Jericho.]

Jonathan sighed softly when he saw that the information he shared was not questioned by the higher-ups of The Healing Church. “I won’t trust you until I know that the leaders actually care about people.”

The truth was that things had changed a lot since he learned that an organizatio...

“Unlike those of other classes, when a human is bitten by a lycanthrope, they begin to manifest some strange symptoms over time, thus affirming their lycanthropy, eventually turning into a man/woman wolf. The transformation phase usually lasts fifteen days, but depending on the bitten person, it can take up to two months.”

Jonathan didn’t seem to be joking as the class went on. Everyone became i...

“I’ve already found the answer.” In the hallway, Enid, who had recently gotten closer to Wednesday, shouted with excitement.

“The answer to how to evade the hunters of this academy and be able to go to town in search of answers to the questions that are eating away at our brains?” Wednesday stopped, turned her rigid head, and stared at Enid, who wore a bright smile.

“No, that’s not im...

Time rolled back to the night before the rescue operation outside the factory led by Jason, in the community of Alexandria.

Because of recent problems, a group was tasked with leading an emergency operation to the nearest S.C.T. base, where at least one hundred and fifty people were safely and quietly relocated.

Jason and the others knew it wasn’t at all beneficial to have so many people in this...

Following Jason’s roar, the modified RV with its thick layers of armor pulled up diagonally in the middle of the road. There were numerous firing ports and a great many gun barrels protruded from all of them, and everyone — at least those in the front of the convoy — launched a counterattack.

Bang Bang Bang Bang!

With the order given, the t...

Hearing what the other side said, Jason frowned slightly, vaguely guessing what they intended to do, but he asked anyway. He still remembered when he visited Oceanside; the leader of those people practically didn’t want anything to do with his people.

"Yes, it’s too dangerous for my people to remain here."

The girl beside him couldn't stand it any longer and stepped forward to stand before her group....

Around an abandoned factory, the perimeter fences had been destroyed by Jason’s people and the horde of walkers invaded the entire place. The dense crowds of the undead were enormous, much larger than any other horde Jason had been in.

"Ahhh!"

From time to time, the walkers in the square emitted unconscious growls; at that moment the people inside the building didn’t know whether they were aw...

Claire looked up at the stars and said, “There are several refugee communities in this country, some larger than others. We are above them, but there is one that can match us — that’s FEDRA.”

“Now that we’re expanding our territory, our border soldiers ran into a FEDRA squad that was wiping out a community.” Alan lit a c...

“You don’t have to do this, Alan.” Lee didn’t want Alan to get upset over the words of an angry kid, but from the look on Alan’s face it seemed he couldn’t do anything to calm the situation.

Alan wiped his mouth with a napkin, looked at Kai and said, “How d...

As was well known, the world had collapsed completely: more than seventy percent of the population had become infected, and those who did not had...

I am Dexter Morgan. Forensic expert by day, monster by night. And now… a friend?

Such a simple word.

So human.

So foreign to me.

“Have you ever had personal problems with the pressure you face at work?” In the living room of Larry’s apartment, Jane, sipping a glass of wine, asked curiously.

After saying that, Larry glanced at his drink and added, “Everyone has problems. Even agents like you question their work. The truth is, in this world we don’t make it a better place—we’re just container...

Max froze and quickly pulled his hand back. They say curiosity kills the cat, and during his years as a forensic examiner, that saying had stuck with him.

Larry stepped up beside Max with a solemn expression. The four large green-painted crates were old iron boxes.

Together, they were about the size of a standard double bed, only a bit taller.

That was what struck him as odd.

The world was cruel and dark, the outcasts were seen as worse than a...

“I’ll take care of this.” Jonathan underestimated how much interest Wednesday could have in certain things.

Her words might say she didn’t care, but her thoughts could really mean something else.

“Come on, big man, are you going to answer my question?” Jonathan’s voice was growing so impatient that he was about to kill this man and leave the place.
