The IT Hunter [Exo Fanfic]

Murder Case

The girl cries in fear as she runs down the snow covered sidewalk in no more than a single layer of clothing. Her life is on the line. If she gets caught again, the consequences will be severe, involving her own life. The girl should never have followed that Hunter, or tried to take her down. Not even her strongest puppet can stand up against that Hunter.

That Hunter is abnormal, she is the most horrid creature the little girl have seen. Her appearance may have looked normal, but a dark aura leaked from her pores. Just a few moments ago, when the Hunter had her throat, the girl can feel the inhumane thoughts radiating around her.

Walking past a local bar, the girl shivers as a gust of cold wind blows against her frozen cheek. She wants help, but there is no one around her. Her powers are weak, and her only puppet has been slaughtered by that Hunter, now, she is truly vulnerable. As she walks down the street, a shadow followed her.

Feeling a little tap on her, she looks back and finds herself staring at an unfamiliar male. He looked no more older than a college boy, which a crooked grin on his handsome face. The girl is scared by the sudden appearance of a stranger, and what scared her even more is that he has the same type of dark aura leaking from him, just like that Hunter she encountered earlier.

Something about this male is off. Her instinct tells her to run, and she does so, but only to be pulled back by an invisible force. She looks back and screams in horror as the male walks closer, and closer, with a knife in his hand.

After a bloodcurdling scream, dark red blood drips and stains the white snow.

I woke up before the sun rose. The room was still dark like night. I sat up from the bed with an uneasy feeling in my heart.

I headed to the washroom to shower, only to find a deep cut on my left index finger. A coat of dried blood covered my wound, and some liquid were smudged on my hand and shirt. I was quite surprised by this incident, I didn't remember ever getting harmed anywhere.

After I finished showering, I headed downstairs to the kitchen to fix myself some instant noodles. I paused as I spotted my dagger on the kitchen counter, along with some horribly cut cucumbers which I had in the fridge. As I examined the area closely, I found a couple drops of dried blood on the kitchen floor as well. Then, I checked all the windows and doors to make sure there was no sign of break and enter.

I found nothing. The only reasonable explanation I could come up with was that I sleepwalked. Without regaining my consciousness, I probably went downstairs and somehow used my dagger to chop up some cucumbers, slicing my finger during the process. It scared me that I was not aware of all this. If it wasn't for my blood drops, I could never have thought this happened. I simply had no memory of any of this.

The simple breakfast was good. I threw away the instant noodle container and proceeded to turn on my laptop where the information about the latest victim would be sent.

Staring at the glowing laptop screen, I opened my mail. Right away, there were loads of reports and information sent to me about the latest murder. I read through all of them, analyzing the pictures of the crime scene and the dead body carefully. It would have been a lot more effective if I was able to go to the crime setting, but to protect my identity, I couldn't possibly risk going to a strange place like that. Plus, there was someone already messing with me and pretending to be Dee.

The victim in the pictures was a young female looking about the age of 14 or so. Her face was twisted in horror as her lifeless eyes were wide open. As I examined the pictures more closely, I realized that she looked familiar. I was shocked when I remembered that I saw her the night when I was caught by Exo. She was the psychic necromancer I was going to eliminate. Although I wasn't able to kill her, something else did. It seemed like she was hunted down after escaping from me.

As I read the reports, some important points showed up, and it seemed to be the pattern behind all the murders during the past years. Just like the other victims slaughtered by IT, the cause of death was hypovolemia from intense loss of blood. The internal organs of the victim were damaged, as well as the skin and flesh on the outside. Once again, there was no sign of fighting back, and finally, the fingers were missing from the body.

The contents on the picture were too graphic for me to describe, but overall, there was a lot of gore.

After a while of deep thinking, I couldn't find think of any suspects around me. There were no previous documented murderer who's killing fit into this description. Since there was a lot of unnecessary harm done to the victim, including multiple stabs in different part of the body, it showed that the suspect was mentally ill. It enjoys torturing people and causing pain. With the stolen fingers, it showed that the killer had a strange fetish.

Today was the first time I had this much access to the information about IT. It was all so crazy to accept, even for me. I needed even information about autopsy which would come out in a few days to do some further investigation. In the meantime, I need to worry about the mission Dee gave me, catching the twelve males of Exo.

I was supposed to find a way to lure them to an appointed area where they'll be captured. I had planned out a general outline yesterday regarding the strategy to lure them to the trap, and it was to first catch Xiumin. After taking control of Xiumin, I could force them to follow my every command. But there was one major problem on my hand, how was I supposed to catch Xiumin?

Fighting just one of them might be easy, but the whole group always stuck together. It would be impossible to fight all twelve males, therefore, I needed to find a way to isolate Xiumin from the group.

Since I would be a school with them, I decided to spy on them today and learn more about their habits, which would hopefully help me in the making of a perfect plan.
