~~ Wang Yibo ~~

My bike passes the countryside road which is a remote land. Only grass fields and woods spread on the road side. Not a lot vehicles take this route in this kind of time which is crawl down to the nightfalls. The road is surrounded by the darkness, despite it's only 7 in the evening .

I saw a reed cat walks across the road. It walks elegantly like a model. I scoffs see its behavior. And I'm in shock when suddenly there is a van comes from the other direction driven in a high speed. The cat stunned in the middle of the road and looked at the van's direction. I think it's meowing at the van as if telling the driver "Hey! I'm crossing the road! Slow down, dude!"

But the van never slows down, neither stops. It still runs at high speed and finally runs over the cat.

"Fuck!!!" I shout.

I immediately pull the brake and stand my bike on the roadside.

"Heyy!!" I shout at the van which keeps running fast and never stops.

"Fuck you!!" I shout again, raising a middle finger at them.

I walk to the dead cat. It lays on the street in a pool of blood. I squatting to see the cat's condition. It's dead. I stroke its head with my gloved hand.

"Poor you...." I mumble, keep stroking the cat.

I flip the cat's head that lays helplessly, examine it, and then I pick it up by holding its neck. It doesn't move at all. Its eyes closed tight. I turn it to the left and to the right, rub its face. Then I get up and walk into the forest. After I take a quite distance from the road, I laid the cat on the ground, examine it again.

I take out my folded knife from my cargo pants' pocket, left hand holding the cat's head on the ground. I unfold my knife and bring it down to the cat's body. I put the knife on its neck, search for its vein with another hand, then I press the knife down through the cat's furry skin. Crimson red oozing out from its neck. I smirk behind my helmet, enjoying the bloody scene in front of me. I continue to cut off the cat's neck until it's almost falls from its body. And I see more blood.

I move my knife to its stomach, and make another cut, a long one. I cut all the way down its belly until I can see the organs inside it. And this sight is kind of turns me on.

"Zhan ge...." I hiss.

I get up. Throw my knife into the thick bush and remove my bloody gloves and keep it into my jacket's pocket. Then I quickly walk out of the forest, go back to my bike and run home. To my Zhan Ge...

~~ Xiao Zhan ~~

I finished broadcasting my podcast. Zhuo Cheng helps me to do the broadcast again. Now we are sitting side by side on the couch. Zhuo Cheng puts his head on my shoulder.

"Why don't you bring up about your story and your boyfriend, instead of keep digging in the old cases?" Asks Zhuo Cheng.

"I think not now...." I sigh. "I don't know if he won't snap if I bring up his story to the world. This case is very sensitive. I'm the one who experience it...!"

"Don't you feel aware of him? Mentally, he's not normal, Zhan. Are you not afraid if one day he will attack you?" Zhuo Cheng asks with a serious expression.

I glance at him and darted my eyes on him.

"He'll be fine. He'll gets heal. I'm sure...." I mutter. Honestly, I, myself isn't so sure.

"Is he at home now? Where is he?" He asks again.

"He said this morning, he wants to meet his old friend from Shanghai....!" I reply.
