H-22: ASSASSIN

H22A - 29

7 YEARS LATER...

　

　

A beautiful girl in a black suit was fiddling with her computer. Someone knocked on the parapet. The girl looked.

　

　

"Xylona, there's someone who wants to see you."

　

　

Xylona was confused. He pointed to himself as if asking, 'I?'

　

　

The woman nodded. "He's in the boss's room."

　

　

Xylona was shocked. The girl went to the boss's room. The girl knocked on the door.

　

　

"Lake in!"

　

　

Xylona came in. He saw two men in the room. One was his boss and the other was a stranger he had never met.

　

　

"Xylona, come here."

　

　

"Yes, Boss?"

　

　

"Do you know him?"

　

　

Xylona looked at the man who was a guest of her Boss. The two eyes of the man were also staring at him. Xylona turned to her boss.

　

　

"He was an old friend of mine in college. Said he was your friend at High School in Amrita Village."

　

　

The deg!

　

　

Xylona was shocked when the name of Amrita Village was called. That place was a very horrible place for him. A place that gives a lot of bad memories.

　

　

"Erfrain, say something," said the Boss.

　

　

"Xylo," said Erfrain.

　

　

"Rain."

　

　

After explaining many things, the two went to the nearest cafe to have a chat. But in fact, they both remained silent. The situation is dominated by silence.

　

　

Erfrain chose to speak first, "It turns out you're lying. You said you would come to Amrita Village often to see me. You haven't been here for 4 years, why?"

　

　

Xylona. "Sorry...."

　

　

Erfrain. "I want to hear your excuses, not your apologies."

　

　

Xylona looked at Erfrain's face with trembling eyes. "My reason? The reason I. I don't know who you are."

　

　

Erfrain listen.

　

　

"I don't know why I had to go back to that village to see you, while I didn't know you."

　

　

Xylona's reasoning doesn't sound reasonable. Erfrain again asked, "You mean?"

　

　

"You're the killer. You killed them all" said Xylona.

　

　

Erfrain was still silent and looked at the girl in front of him.

　

　

"On that CCTV. My brother has CCTV installed in every corner of the house. I saw someone who looked like me being raped by Enzo and Kris. Change of day.I saw you standing in front of my house with someone I didn't recognize. Then, almost every day, you come and stand in front of my house after my brother's death. Besides, you showed your true self after you took off your glasses. Every 23rd, you're gonna look weird, not even going to school. Do you still want to deny?" Xylona ended with a question.

　

　

Erfrain could not answer.

　

　

"I don't know what you are and who, I'm really confused thinking about this. Every time you're with you, strange, senseless things always happen. I shouldn't have met you in the first place or been friends with you. I'm disappointed to learn this.. and... You killed my brother too, right?"

　

　

Erfrain. "I didn't kill him."

　

　

"Maybe you think killing those who make mistakes is a form of punishment so that no one else does that, but it's not an option. You can't take their lives at will. That's God's job. Besides, you also can't kill innocent people like my brother and his comrades." Xylona moved from her seat and passed.

　

　

　

　

The girl continued her steps leaving Erfrain speechless. The man reached into something from his pocket, apparently a velvet red box. He's unlocked. It was a very beautiful ring.

　

　

Erfrain rented a hotel room. He was thinking about what had happened to him. There was a sense of pleasure when Xylona said that the girl had loved her, but maybe not anymore, because Xylona already knew about it.

　

　

Meanwhile, Xylona is also daydreaming in her apartment. He misses Erfrain a lot, but he's scared too. After thinking that Erfrain was the serial killer in Amrita Village, the girl was terrified. She is afraid of being the next victim. But on the other hand, Xylona was also happy, because she and Erfrain had met after all this time. Erfrain looks fine.

　

　

The next day, Xylona went to the office as usual. He saw some employees huddling around talking about something. Out of curiosity, Xylona joined in.

　

　

"What's up, huh?" Ask Xylona.

　

　

"Did you know? The serial killer in Amrita Village has been caught!"

　

　

Xylona. He started to panic and thought about the worst that could have happened to Erfrain because yesterday he hurt the man's feelings.

　

　

"Who's the killer?" Ask Xylona.

　

　

"A young man. He killed the bad guys and the guy took it as a punishment they deserved. You can find it on YouTube or Google."

　

　

"How did he get caught?" Ask the others.

　

　

"He confessed that he wanted to stop killing for the girl he loved."

　

　

Xylona's panicking. Is Erfrain the one? Is he really?

　

　

"It's just that he gave himself up for the girl. In the end he'll be put to death, right?"

　

　

Death penalty? Xylona picked up her phone and started looking at Youtube.

　

　

"Hus! It doesn't matter what the reason is. What matters is that the 22nd murder ends with the killer's arrest."

　

　

"I'll excuse you." Xylona went away.

　

　

Boss called. "Xylone?! Where are you going?!"

　

　

"Boss, I'm on leave!" Xylona ran and entered her car. The girl was looking for news about the killer on YouTube. While driving, he listened to the news.

　

　

"... the local police station forbade the media from covering the killer, but we were given an audio recording of the killer...."

　

　

Xylona increased the volume.

　

　

A disguised voice began to speak, "Yes, I killed them all. There's too much I should mention. I don't remember everything. They deserve it. They did bad things to others and I only returned what they had done. I only kill the guilty. I also want to say something to someone very valuable in my life. I love you, my girl. I love you so much. I'm willing to turn myself in to the police, because I know you hate me after finding out that I'm a serial killer. Thank you for being with me all this time, being my friend, and always protecting me without you knowing, I was a murderer. Sorry disappointed you. This is my last day to see the world. See you soon."

　

　

Xylona crying.

　

　

The news anchor took over, "Those were the last words recorded by the police. Tomorrow morning, the suspect will be shot dead as punishment for what he has been doing all this time."

　

　

Xylona stepped on the gas. He arrived at the police station and charged in.

　

　

"Miss, you can't just go in."

　

　

"Where are the suspected serial killers you just arrested? I have to see it!" Xylona cannot control herself.

　

　

"I'm here. What's looking for me?"

　

　

Xylona turned to the source of the voice. Both of his eyes were wide.
