Digital Starlight. Inc is the name of Natha's advertising agency. Danesh's day-to-day work place. An advertising agency (Advertising Agency) is a professional organization that creates advertisements and advertises them through appropriate media. They offer marketing services such as promotions, sales, events and newsletters. Aimed at clients who want their products to be marketed globally.

Natha's agency included in one of the full services agencies— is one that handles all advertising processes for its clients. Like planning, creating, and producing. Projects that had previously failed, have now been replaced with equitable rewards. Her father's agency collaboration with one of the beauty brands managed to achieve success.

Thanks to a proposal from one of his strategy teams by recruiting K-Pop idols as a new face for the product, managed to succeed the cooperation. Because the Korean Wave phenomenon has spread to various countries, maybe fans have the desire to use the same product as their idols. Thus their goal is to make idols as brand ambassadors to promote the product to reach more customers.

"Thank you for your cooperation." Danesh shakes the hand of Irene Red Velvet (the new face of beauty products).

The beautiful idol smiled sweetly while replying to Danesh. They just held a press conference to introduce the beauty products. Everything is going well and full of joy. As an account manager, of course, the responsibilities and duties are quite large. Such as building long-term relationships with clients to maintain a high retention rate. And also address any issues that may arise.

"I hope that in the future we will be able to establish this cooperative relationship for the better. I, as the representative of the president director of Sanatha, thank you for all of your hard work" Danesh said.

Decitan door hinge woke Deline's sleep. Class was over 2 hours ago, but because she could not resist sleepiness, Deline decided to take a short nap in class until the evening like this. Oh, shit, the main gate must have been locked by security.

Walk out of the room. Tracing the campus corridor accompanied by dim lighting. It's pretty awful to be in a university this size alone. The groaning sound penetrated his sense of hearing. Deline paused for a moment to ascertain where the voice came from—from the Science room.

"Sa—kit, to—long."

Deline looked at the shadow of someone from inside the room. The door opened slightly, he peeked. Surprisingly—a woman is being raped in a position on the table. He held a knife and stabbed her several times. Deline trembled, her body hot coldly looking at the incident.

The offender realizes the presence of someone. He looked at the door, and their eyes met. Degup his heart uncontrollable, without lingering Deline immediately away because it had been discovered. The man slammed the door hard—lifted the knife he was holding. Run fast to chase him. The situation gets more tense when Deline wrongly takes the road. Stupid, he should have run the other way, not turned right.

Deline stuck to the wall while staring at the shadow of the perpetrator who was getting closer. There is only one way left, a small window up there. The steps of the man were becoming more and more clear. Deline on her tiptoes tried to open the window, but unfortunately she was not enough time. The perpetrator pushed him to hit the wall.

"Well, you're the one." He grinned, then crouched down while gripping the girl's chin.

"A-arlo?"

Yes ... not wrong anymore. The psychopath under the guise of the journalist who raped and tried to kill the woman in the Science room earlier. The moonlight that entered through the clear glass highlighted his face clearly. Deline was terrified, her heart pounding even faster. Ever since the incident a few days ago, the girl desperately shies away from Arlo. However, now they were even met in this kind of situation.

"Is this my lucky day?" He took off his grip. "By the way why are you still here?"

Deline hush. He's stepping back. Arlo approached him again, with one action the man grabbed Deline's hair until his head looked up. Not staying still, his left hand strangled the girl's neck. Deline was almost out of breath— tried to rebel as hard as she could, but her strength was not comparable to that bastard's men.

"Ar-lo, loose. I-I beg you,"

"Well," she pulled her hair, then slammed Deline into hitting the pillar.

"Because you've learned the secret of my life, so I'd better teach you a little lesson on how to treat loved ones sweetly." Arlo grabbed his knife lying on the floor.

Even a sharp flat iron pierced Deline's arm. The girl shouted loudly in great pain. Arlo stuck his knife to the ground to tear the meat. Not only that, he pulled it down to cause incision marks. Blood poured out profusely, Deline was completely powerless to endure the unmitigated pain of attacking her. Arlo laughed in satisfaction while licking the blood attached to his knife.

Really, that crazy young man was as terrifying as a beast. Deline doesn't want to stay silent— doesn't want to die in vain in the hands of that bastard. Trying to stand up and run, but Arlo manages to catch him. The young man tried to harass her, but Deline did not run out of ways to escape her foul intentions. Ride the phone, then hit Arlo's head using the hard object. Don't forget to kick ********** to buy time for him to escape or hide.

With the rest of the energy trying to find a way out to ask for help. The blood pouring from his right arm slowly drained his energy. Her condition was getting weaker, and Deline lost a lot of blood. The situation gets worse when the rain falls rapidly. And another one, Arlo yells calling his name. There was no time to lament the pain, Deline had to run away.

"Hey! Damn woman, come here!" pekik Arlo from the end of the corridor. He ran after seeing the presence of Deline who was standing rigidly in front there.

"Deline!"

The girl screamed when Arlo managed to catch her again. The man kicked him with all his might until his body fell on the ground. The tears that had soaked his cheeks were now mixed with blood. Arlo approaches, intending to finish him off right now. Understanding the bad intentions of the man, Deline grabbed a stone not far from her reach. And smack it into Arlo's face. The psychopath's eyes were bleeding from Deline's violent impact. He grimaced with the pain.

Deline pushed him, then escaped by sneaking out through the sidelines of the gate. Tried down the sidewalk while holding his arms that were getting less and less. Rain water that goes into his wound causes pain— very sore. Deline screamed for help from anyone, but the streets looked deserted. While back there Arlo came back after him.

"Please!"

"Deline!" pekik Arlo is accelerating his run.

The girl turned into a narrow alley, she was trying to find a hiding place. However, it was futile. Arlo knows very well the intricacies of this territory. Wherever you're hiding, that psychopath must know where you are.

"Honey .. want to play hide and seek huh?"

"Miline ...,"

"Where is that little girl,"

Deline. He doesn't know what else to do. The pain that attacked him was already unbearable. If he did not love his life, he chose to give up and close his eyes in that place as well. However, now that it was over, he gave up. Oh, what a terrible day. It might have been his destiny to die in the hands of that crazy bastard.

"One ... Two ...."

"THREE!" A red-haired man hits Arlo on the head and manages to knock him unconscious.

The man approached Deline who was hiding behind a trash can. The girl was weak and unconscious. He took Deline to the hospital.

Kevin's hands are itching, he wants a more complicated case to deal with than sitting still like this. The case of theft of corpses, Kevin intends to end it. It is clear that this problem is related to the occult, of course the police cannot act further. They are not psychics who understand conspiracies or agreements with demons and the like. The most important thing now was that he already knew what the bodies were being stolen for. However, still the real perpetrator must be arrested because it will be troublesome if it continues to be left.

"The perpetrator's fingerprints were only found on the handle of the knife, but the victim's body was not found at all. Oh~ I've been trying to solve this case for days, but until now-,"

"Wait,"

Martino, one of the members of the satreskrim. Tasked with investigating the death of Ricky (a University of Exact student). When he first met the perpetrator, he felt that something was strange. From the look of his eyes and his guts it could be read that he was under pressure, maybe he was threatened by someone. Martino feels the real culprit is still gray, and not Henry (a close friend of the victim).

"What's? There's another murder at Exact University?"

Tino just got a report from his colleague. He immediately grabbed his jacket and rushed towards the scene. When he got into the car, he was surprised with someone lying in the back seat—he was Kevin. The strange intelligence smiled widely as Tino looked at him with a look of surprise.

"Hey?" Kevin moved next to the satreskrim.

"Sir Kevin, are you here?"

"Can't it?"

"No, I'm just surprised."

"I'm not your birthday present, so there's no need to be surprised." her cerocos.

Tino was nervous to be near her boss. In the office where he works, Kevin is the Police Commissioner. This was the most shocking moment for him.

"I heard that there's a new case going on at Exact— University and you're wondering why I'm here, aren't you?"

Tino nodded.

"I want to come with you to investigate the case. Know it? I got tired of sitting quietly in my office. My hands are so itchy, it feels like I want to solve a case."

"But sir, this job-,"

"Run the car." His orders interrupted Tino's words.

Kevin crossed his hands, then closed his eyes. While the man next to her looked confused and did not know what to reject her in. Her boss was really weird. All right, if that's Kevin's will, he'll obey. However, why would the great commissioner help him in this case? Hey, this is gonna be a problem you know? They will question why and why. Wanting to refuse even Tino did not dare to do so.

"Are you a new member?" ask Kevin. "I just saw you today,"

"Actually it's not new, it's just transferred to this town."

While in the car, only a light conversation is all they talk about. The rest of Kevin went back to silence and closed his eyes. Not sleep, just to calm the mind. No, actually Kevin's head is smoking thinking about various things that reside. His goal is to join Tino in conducting this investigation because he wants to distract him from the case of theft of corpses.

Arriving at the scene, the victim's body was under the table in a messy shirt and his stomach left a stab scar. No sharp weapons found in the killing area, and fingerprints? Don't ask, there's no trace of anything in there. Looks like the psychopath is playing well using his tricks to confuse the investigators.

"Again?"

Kevin looked over when Tino said that. He's cheering.

"It's almost the same as Ricky's murder, but this woman wasn't mutilated. It's clear the real culprit is still hanging around this campus,"

"Who's Ricky—and what's happened before?" Kevin chimed in on that satreskrim speech.

Tino nodded. "There was a murder at this university. The perpetrator mutilated the victim, then placed his body in a cardboard box. However, I think the perpetrator of this murder-,"

"Not him?" saith.

"Yes, Sir. His attitude during the interrogation showed that he was depressed. I suspect he was threatened by the real culprit,"

The satreskrim explained from the beginning of Ricky's death case to continue to the woman named Lexa. The equation of the case found no fingerprints, very clean. One more thing the team found, they found blood stains on the floor and the wall in front of the chemical laboratory room. Kevin and Tino immediately saw it, the stain dripping out of the building. The ground at the end of the corridor looked messy, like a former person had just wrestled there. Even the stagnant water was red, could there be any other casualties besides Lexa?

"Yes, Dan?" Kevin got a call from Danesh. "Well, I'm going there now."

He ended the conversation, then patted Tino on the shoulder. "I must go, and continue this investigation carefully."

"Good, sir."

"And yes, there's no need to worry if people question why I'm meddling in this business. I'll take care of it, you know?"

"Good, Sir. Thank you very much" Tino bowed, then stood up straight and saluted. After that Kevin rushed to meet his best friend.
