"....."

" What should we do with this dead body?"

"Throw it in the trash for all i care, i told you not to kill the kid here, why do u never listen to me Alen?"

"Who told him to be here at this time?, This is what u get for being at the wrong place at the wrong time."

" Enough, Just put him inside this container and throw his body in the Yellow River. You have to hurry if the petrol team sees us we will be in great trouble."

The two muscular men were dragging a giant container in the dark alley. The alley had houses built back to back with dirt road in the middle. Most of the houses were two storied made with bricks with a wooden roof while some houses were just one storied tall with a wooden roof and chimney. The alley looked like one of the alley of a city in industrial revolution.

The river known as yellow river flowed through the middle of the city all the way from north gate to the south gate. The people from the city used the river as their primary water source but the river itself was little yellow in color hence the name yellow river.

The two men reached at the riverbank carrying the container on the back. They carried the container all the way from inner city to the riverbank deceiving the eyes of patrol guards in a dead silent cover of night with the only source of light being the moon itself.

" Ren how about we throw his body in the middle of river, with your strength it should be piece of cake. The river will wash away the body as well. How about it?" The person named alen spoke in a low tone while carrying the container on his back.

"Mmm....while it certainly is a piece of cake to throw the body onto the river, If the body doesn't float away the guards might get suspicious."

"look at yourself being so cautious, we have done this countless times don't worry"

The person named Alen puts the container down.

"That's exactly why we must be cautious, The patrol head of inner city is already suspicious of us. Why don't we just dig a deep pit and dispose the body there. That way it will take years to even find the body" The person named Ren looked at Alen.

"Alright... i am fine with anything u say"

The two men search around the riverbank to find something that they can dig with. After some time they find a broken shovel disposed near the garbage disposal. In this city people normally disposed their garbage beside the riverbank as there was no proper waste disposal management system. Normally river would take away the waste but sometimes heavy waste would get stuck on riverbanks.

The Two men start digging with the broken shovel. With inhumane strength they had, it did not take too long to dig a pit about five meters deep. Right when they were about to be done with digging they hear a sound coming from above.

Dang Dang Dang

" Did you hear it? "

"it sounded like metal colliding with each other. " Ren spoke in a rough voice.

" Could it be, the guards found out?" Alen paused for a bit with complicated emotions surfacing on his face.

" No it shouldn't be the guards, we were as cautious as possible and it is already midnight there mustn't be that many guards at duty" Ren had expression as if he was remembering something with his hands on his chin

"i will go and check it, if the guards are here i will signal you to run"

" Mmmm...okay, don't absolutely forget to use the signal if there are guards" with the broken shovel Ren continues to dig.

haa

In one jump Alen jumps out of five meters deep pit with his body swaying in the wind like hawk who has set it's sight on its prey He looks around the riverbank before finally laying his eyes at the place where they left the container to start digging but near the container he sees the horrifying sight that he will never forget in his life. The body which was cut horizontally in the abdomen was standing upright with intestines and organs of the gastrointestinal tract spilling all over the ground.

A deep chill ran down Alen's spine. He had never seen such horrifying sight before, The guts and intestines were completely outside the body with just a thread of gastrointestinal organ stopping it from spilling it all over the ground. Blood was oozing out from the disemboweled organs that painted the whole ground with crimson blood. There was something that was even more horrifying, the deep blue eyes that could suck soul out of the body was looking straight at him.

"D...i..d ... y..o...k..i.l.. .. m..e" The body spoke in shrilly voice like the wind howling.

The muscular body of Alen went completely limp, The horrifying sight in front of him made his body paralyzed to the point he could no longer even make a sound. Just pure despair and Fear surrounded his mind with only one thought remaining in his head.

RUN RUN RUN

Alen ran towards the forest like no tomorrow, using his legs that were much faster than normal people due to his training in martial arts he completely forgot about his friend and the reason why he was there for. There was nothing but fear written all over his face while he ran without even looking back. He had the feeling if he looked back at the body even once he would faint just from looking at the disemboweled body. After running straight for one hour his body shriveled up beside a tree. His mind was so overtaken with fear that even the simplest movement of wind felt like a nightmare. Due to sheer amount fear he felt he fainted beside the tree with just the sound of leaves rustling, his mind couldn't handle more.

The riverbank was dead silent while Ren was waiting for Alen's signal. 5 minutes passed but there was no sound. He could only hear the wind howling and splashes made by flowing river.

" Why is he taking so long? Did the guards really came?"

Ren decides to climb out of the pit to see for himself. He was one of the strongest martial arts practitioner of his adventurer party so climbing out of five meters pit with one jump was nothing extraordinary for him. With a jump he gets out of the pit and starts scanning the area.

"Who are you?" Ren hears someone whispering in his ears from behind.

He turns around to see a young teenager of around sixteen/ seventeen years looking at him with a curious gaze around distance of four/five meters between them. The face seemed familiar but due to darkness of the night he couldn't pinpoint the actual facial features.

The young teenager moves towards him ever so slowly, just as his figure draws nearer Ren could somewhat pinpoint facial features of the teenager due to the moonlight shinning brightly on young figure's face.

Ren had sudden enlightenment as the face of young teenager was similar to the one of whom they had just killed. His heart grows cold and his hairs stand at the end.

" What are you????? How can you be alive??" Ren's face distorts with unbelievable expression.

The most horrifying thing was Ren clearly remembered when Alen sliced the Teenager's abdomen and messed up teenager's face to be unrecognizable so that the guards will not find out but the current teenager had no wounds or bruises. His face was clean and The teenager looked as if he never had any injury in first place.

The chilling wind grew even more chilling as the figure starts to get nearer and nearer

" DON'T COME NEAR ME!!!! YOU MONSTER" Ren Shouts on top his lungs with frantic expression.

The young teenager walks slowly towards Ren with carefree expression. The only thing that was different from before when he saw the young teenager was his brown eyes replaced with deep blue eyes which looked like staring at the abyss itself.

The young teenager brings his right hand forward with his lips curled upwards

" STOP!!!!"

Ren couldn't bear it any longer he falls flat on the ground as if his legs lost all of its strength and his limbs went cold.

" Hello my name is Han Xin, Nice to meet ya"
