My attention sharpened, and I was on high alert again.
That peculiar noise was back, and there had to be some trick to it.
I listened to the noise and then focused on a group of bushes near a tree.
So, it was here?
I tensed up, moving forward cautiously.
But as I neared the spot, the figure seemed to sense my approach and darted from behind the tree.
My eyes focused, and I was eager to chase after it right away.

âThud!â
A heavy sound erupted from behind the tree.
Debraâs POV:
It sounded like someone had fallen to the ground.
I just couldnât ignore it.
Moreover, the figure had just vanished here, and considering all its previous actions, what good could come of it?
So, I quickly looked behind the tree to get a basic idea of what was happening and to understand the situation better.
However, once I saw, I couldnât look away.
What I saw was a man lying on the ground.
Most of his body was hidden by tree, so I couldnât see him well, but I could confirm that the sound of falling had indeed come from him.
Under these circumstances, I couldnât chase the figure anymore.
Instead, I had to check on the man behind the trees to make sure I wasnât ignoring a human life.
With a heavy heart, I walked behind the tree.
When I saw the manâs entire body, I froze, completely rooted to the spot.
When I was in front of the tree, the distance and the tree concealed most of his body, so I had only seen his head and legs.
Now, seeing his entire body, I didnât have to think twice to know he was dead.
He was killed in the same manner as Ole, with his Limbs twisted and his neck marked by two puncture wounds from sharp teeth.
Now I was sure, the culprit was that elusive figure.
From the white cat to Ole, and now this unknown manâ¦
âDamn it, does it kill just for the thrill of it? It kills so easily!â
I clenched my fists, filled with intense anger and sorrow, feeling dizzy for a moment.
