"We think we should take action."

It is the voice of the supernatural photographer William Wilson speaking to the images of the supernatural undeads.

For days, William had stalked the Thai Bl boys online, but only 20 minutes daily. He spent most of his days not sleeping thanks to his undead physiology, therefore he went on active sports and research on how to bring entities from photographs into life. Like other undead members of the Iscariot Army Corps, William was well-informed of COVID-19 and was more than willing to take precautions against the disease. In fact, the Spanish flu pandemic in 1918 was the time he had experienced, and it was a disaster for humanity while undeads like him weren't affected due to their immunity to diseases. In fact, he was quite troubled with the widespread COVID-19 affecting the health of the members who were reverted to humans after their undead powers were removed. 

"Sometimes Depression means turning on all the lights because it's too scary to face darkness, turning off all the lights because darkness resonates with your thoughts; talking a lot, suddenly someone listens, talking nothing, 'cause what if they hear the emptiness behind your words; cleaning your room, it keeps your mind occupied, having a huge mess in your room, because the last thing you could find the strength to would be cleaning it; shutting yourself out because you don't feel worthy of relationships, spending time with people because you feel safer than when you're alone; pushing away help because you don't want to be a burden, screaming for help but it seems your screams are silent; running away because if people would actually know how dark it is inside you they would be the one's running, people leaving you because they don't understand it's not you; leaving everything the way it is because you are afraid of speaking up, speaking more like screaming up because with time it got too much to handle; getting weaker, getting stronger; being alone because you hate being with people, being with people because you hate being alone; being really tired, being not able to sleep; wanting to get out of here, not wanting to leave; feeling Depression leaving, feeling Depression coming back; wanting to die, wanting to live; trusting others, not trusting yourself; loving life, hating life; understanding other people, wishing you wouldn't understand; knowing how much power behind "how are you?" is, not knowing how much power behind "how are you?" is; knowing people care, knowing people don't care; robbing your breathwhich sounds good to me, trusting peopleyou shouldn't have trusted, running from peopleyou shouldn't have run from, regretting not fighting it earlieralthough you know you wouldn't have had the strength, knowing how to smile when you feel the oppositecherishing every smile that you can feel in your heart, standing tallwhilst falling apart; a fight between death and life, a fight that's already been won." This speech was spoken by William himself.

"Fear is the natural instinct of a human being, because of fear of his life-threatening threats, mankind is still alive today. In the face of the widespread COVID-19 epidemic, we are afraid that naturally. But do not let fear make us panic and no longer able to reason properly, leading to the belief in baseless rumors and non-scientific preventive measures which are rampant online. Reputable scientists have provided information to help us better understand the dangers of the COVID-19 disease and why we should not be so scared, that being infected with the SARS-CoV virus -2 does not mean holding a fatal death." This speech was also spoken by William himself.

"In 81% of COVID-19 infections, the infected person did not show any signs of illness or had a fairly mild illness and then recovered on its own because the body's immune system killed the virus. In the remaining 14% of cases, people suffering from very serious pneumonia infections require supportive treatment, the remaining 5% are very serious and can be fatal, especially those aged 60 and older or have a history of respiratory and cardiovascular illnesses, diabetes... People in their 20s are the least likely to be affected, only 3% are infected. People under 40 years old are infected, only 0.2% will die. Children are the least likely to be infected and the condition is quite mild. Most cases of infection are cured. The proportion of infected people who have recovered is 13 times higher than the number of infected people who died. Thanks to technological advances in medical devices, computers and artificial intelligence, the study of a new vaccine and medicine no longer takes years. Currently, there are 8 vaccine research projects in some countries with advanced medicine."

And at the same time, Zon launched a new teen novel series called Fanfictasia Four. Despite being caught in the rising point of the epidemic, Zon remained healthy and not infected. The Fanfictasia Four series remained viral and was searched online and offline by readers. The main protagonist of this story was a fictionalized version of Zon himself, with Saifah, Tutor, Fighter as his companions. The main antagonist in the story was William Wilson, the supernatural photographer with the ability to control spacetime. This William Wilson was the greatest dragon among the equally powerful dragons he was leading, as depicted in the story. 

As for Saifah, he had been holding a concert on campus since March 14, 2020, but only on an internal scale among his group of friends, Zon, Tutor, Fighter as well as students living in the college dorm. As Saifah played his guitar and sang, Zon went along as well.

In the case of Pete Pichaya, the COVID-19 disease was on a surge of infection and he had returned to Thailand before the disease went worse in Germany. At the very same time, Ernst Kirchgessner reclaimed his undead powers and became the Headless Horseman once more. Holding the ax and the sword, Ernst continued to roam with a new hunt in Thailand. This time he went with the Japanese oni Sengoku Senjiro, who was also back for the game. The fiery fireman Gerald Burns was also present, completely restored to power as an undead. He also went on a trip to Thailand to solve the mystery of reincarnation, so that he could explain why he could gain immense powers.

"Now let's go back to 30 years ago, when In and Korn were young, not the Korn who is Knock's boyfriend now. As far as we know, Pharm and Dean's year is 2020, so 30 years ago it was 1990. At that time, it was a full year after the fall of the Berlin Wall (1989), at that time Natasha Astakhova was only 35 years old and had a loving family with a mortal husband and two beautiful sons. Vasily Belousov has also been a snow zombie for 20 years since 1969, right on the year of the 1969 Tet Operations in Vietnam." Ernst told Senjiro and Gerald when he arrived in Thailand on March 16, 2020, 11 o'clock noon, GMT + 7.

"I wasn't born in 1969. It was my brother's day. My brother didn't join the army." Gerald said.

"Thirty years ago, which was 1990, Korn and Intouch were university students in Bangkok. Intouch entered Korn's life despite knowing that he was the son of one of the most influential people in Bangkok, the mafia. At first, Korn kept pushing Intouch away, but in the end, he couldn't resist the boy who was so full of life where he was the exact opposite and decided to let him into his heart. However, in a time where homosexuality was unacceptable and having parents that were against their relationship and each other, Korn and In's love was bound to be doomed. Midst the chaos, while Intouch kept on fighting for their future, Korn could not deal with all the suffering his lover was facing and decided to give up. That day, two sounds of a gunshot rang through the air. Their story ended with tragedy, but something had already tied itself between them, bounding them together even after they were dead." William Wilson emerged from behind Ernst's group as they gathered at the university where Pharm and Dean were studying.

"That sounds like a gay version of Romeo and Juliet." Gerald said.

"As for the Romeo and the Juliet we Iscariots had sworn enemies with, they're actually bisexuals. Nobody including Judas Iscariot knows that. But now we've made peace with Romeo and let him go to the United States." William said.

"It's such a wise thing to do to spare them and let them go. We feel so relieved." Jasper emerged.

"As for Pharm and Dean, we know very well that they were reincarnated from In and Korn. We know about the phenomenon of deja vu, that is, in a new body but a soul has the memory of an old body about a place or action that the new body never even comes or does." William said.

"It's just a brain-racking thing." Jasper nodded.

"Hey, I have researched on In and Korn, the previous lives of Pharm and Dean. It's a case of the deja vu phenomenon. Applying the characteristics of deja vu to our case, we know that even after becoming monstrous entities of evil, we still have the memories of our previous lives and can still transform into human forms before becoming monsters, so from that, we can deduce that even when deprived of evil powers, people possessing them may remember what they did when they were devils, or would likely regain evil power." William said.

"So you are the one who returned my evil powers to me." Ernst said.

"Sure. I can take it, and I can give it back. That's my power." William answered.
