📍 Sri Hartamas Shoplots, Kuala Lumpur
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0JTgk71Ky2
Martin and I reached the room upstairs, tucked between old shoplots. The place looked abandoned, but the door was locked from inside.
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiRwZUKp8BW
We broke in.
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhgmMYeFiss
The air inside was stale, but not old. There were traces that someone had lived here recently-pillows slightly warm, a cup with dried tea stains, and footsteps on the dusty floor. The room was empty... but not silent. It whispered secrets.
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5afROAaeUd
We searched every corner, every creaking drawer and loose floorboard. That's when I found it-a hidden drawer beneath a rusty table.
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTx1cEbiU2y
Inside it, we found:
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPfCsnYQAfI
A stack of old photographs
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr2vSh7bVDt
A small wooden box - the very one I had seen in my dreams
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwi3E1d8UFQ
An aged diary with "Mohanbabu" written on the inner page
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWp0p7WIRo2
The logo on the box made my heart stop. I had seen it before-but I couldn't place where. Not yet. Not here. Something was pulling at the back of my mind.
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ33IIedHo52
Martin opened the diary and we both sat on the cold floor, reading page by page.

📓 Babu's Diary
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ54nII04ASc
Inside the first few pages was a photo-The Slayer.
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOI7zAUmqNn
But he wasn't alone.
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHS6TYHNd9N
Beside him stood Babu, and a smiling pregnant woman - Lakshmi, The Slayer's wife.
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBmV6vgdQtg
We read on.
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKvw6zc6E63
Babu was once a car mechanic in Kedah. Anand, later known as The Slayer, was a cheerful driver who worked at the same workshop. They were more than friends-brothers by choice, bonded after losing their parents in a tragic accident.
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5H6xKv0p5o
Then came Lakshmi.
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQvtRNl2dDs
A kind factory cleaner. She loved Anand. They got married. And for the first time in years, both Anand and Babu felt like they had a family again. Lakshmi loved them both equally, like her own.
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ8vPs2xFbA
Later, Lakshmi gave birth to twin girls - Shabana and Ravana.
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqaCQaFdnur
To support the family, she worked part-time in rich homes as a maid. Anand dreamed of starting his own transport business, but money was always tight. Still, their small world was beautiful.
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4P9KDTNVGR
Until it shattered.
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOH6ccmdTZb
One day, Lakshmi went to pick up the girls from school. On the way, she noticed Anand's car parked outside a rich woman's house. Curious and confused, she walked in.
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHaalXwn3Y7
What she saw broke her soul.
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHP4QwgWrYX
Anand. In bed. With another woman. A wealthy one.
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMjxMGEu8dr
Lakshmi didn't scream. She didn't fight. She just went home, packed, and left with the girls. She never told Anand what she saw. She just filed for divorce and refused to explain anything to him.
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqNUlulRhvS
The court gave one child to each parent - Shabana to Anand, Ravana to Lakshmi.
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1TcKw8QYJR
Months passed. Babu and Anand finally discovered the truth. The rich woman wasn't just a seductress.
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7BjRODRZPc
She was a magician - skilled in mind control.
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡat9UaG9t17
She used a sinister trick: a mirror ritual that calmed the mind and planted trigger words deep inside the subconscious. Anand was a victim. She'd used him. Controlled him.
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVV5EHEEbQi
Anand snapped.
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrhRx8MEAqE
One night, enraged, he stormed into the woman's house and stabbed her to death with a long knife.
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtaeqYeYNxn
That moment, Anand was no more.
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3wZvoOJxXY
The Slayer was born.
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKccwi89SXP

33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaKYNSorlSz
He found the woman's mirror. Her book of hypnosis rituals. Her secrets.
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnSKd94vAmf
He studied them. Practiced them. Mastered them.
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS6xDQ4f1HR
And when he saw her face on the newspaper's front page, glorified in death, something twisted in him. Every time he saw a rich person's face on a newspaper, he became enraged.
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEgQktmywB3
And so began the murders. One by one.
Eleven victims. Three years. All rich. All powerful. All dead.
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF6QaShM2bk
All by The Slayer.
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1JrJBFQCtd

33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3lsS3AgL67
Babu stayed silent. He knew something was wrong, but he didn't dare interfere. Until Lakshmi died from illness. And Ravana was sent to live with Anand.
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYTfswHTBjA
Soon after, Babu discovered the truth.
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs0ZSYcCCT9
Anand was abusing the girls.
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5tGdF53PLd
That broke him.
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp1KCbOJlFD
He approached Detective Kannan, shared everything. Anand was arrested.
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp7hw1fOWDt
That night, Babu saw only a monster inside the police van-not the brother he once loved.
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2T4N5NyQFc
Babu wanted to protect the girls. He believed Ravana was better off with her aunt, but he feared for Shabana.
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw4r3d1mFlu
He saw her being slapped. Ignored. Treated like a stranger.
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0tjGjsPCcq
So Babu made a choice.
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMpQiFkNcgI
He rescued Shabana, and raised her like his own daughter.
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUP4G4AdgAt
He helped her become a teacher in an orphanage, and used political connections to get a job as a school security guard-just to stay close and protect her.
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVXxE3QBz0n
Everything he did... was for her.
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡny8TIeuYVO
But then... the diary ended.
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT2uMaw0lMe
The final pages were torn out.
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrIgIrZFMGu
And the small wooden box-still sealed. No key. No way in.
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1zibiYRhJH
I held the box tightly. The logo burned into my memory again.
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRE4XBVau2o
I needed answers. I needed to check my old books back at home.
Martin decided to head to the police station to begin tracking Babu.
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlj26odafmB
We both agreed on one thing:
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg3YYH5ECdh
Whoever killed Shabana...
Babu knows something.
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7v8q56nPCK
And now, we were running out of time.
