It seemed like a long time had passed, and I didn't know how many times the tea in my cup had been refilled, when Officer Foster returned in a hurry.

He looked serious and sat on the chair for a while before speaking. "We dug out a highly decomposed body of a boy by the white bridge behind the library.

"The time of death is about a month ago, and the specific cause of death cannot be determined.

"But through preliminary examination, no obvious fatal injuries were found."

As Caleb said this, he looked at me meaningfully and said, "Jovie, tell us everything you know."

I struggled for a moment and asked him in a complicated tone, "Did Chloe next door say anything?"

Caleb unexpectedly fell silent, and after a while, he spoke, "The strange thing is, what Chloe said is exactly the same as what you said."

I was instantly stunned, as if a bucket of cold water was poured over me from head to toe.

"But I think what you said is more credible!"

"Why?" I asked Caleb in surprise.

"Because there is fear in your eyes, as if you have truly witnessed something unimaginable."

I looked at Caleb in confusion. This reason seemed too hasty for the police.

However, Caleb didn't think so and changed the subject, saying, "That completely disfigured body is the boy who went missing a few days ago, named Enzo Jones. You should have seen him, right?"

Before he disappeared, I had met Enzo twice. He was a clean and pleasant-looking boy.

I nodded and said, "He was Chloe's first love."

"So, it was Chloe who killed Enzo that night and buried him on the spot, right?"

I nodded again, but Caleb suddenly burst into laughter and said, "How did you two manage to say exactly the same thing in every sentence?"

I helplessly lowered my head, knowing well in advance that Chloe would be the first to complain.

Fortunately, I was well prepared in advance!

After all, since the day I discovered her abnormality, I had been following her.

I took out my phone and handed it to Caleb. "Officer Foster, this is my evidence."

There was a video secretly recorded in my phone.

It was a full moon that day, and the moon was particularly round.

Although the image quality of the video was a bit blurry, you could tell at a glance that they were Chloe and Enzo.

They were sitting on the armchair by the white bridge, chatting happily.

But suddenly, the smile on Enzo's face froze instantly. His eyes widened, as if he was about to fall out in the next second.

He covered his chest in pain, watching the girl's body in front of him being torn apart.

In the video, Chloe was holding her own head, braiding her hair into a twisted braid.

I remembered Chloe said before that Enzo loved to watch her braid her hair into a twisted braid the most!

Caleb watched the video incredulously, his face suddenly turned pale with shock, and he could hardly speak.

I spoke first, "Officer Foster, if you think the video is fake, you can take it for authentication."

"Could it be that Enzo was scared to death?" Caleb's voice sounded a bit trembling.

"Enzo has congenital heart disease, and only Chloe knows about it."

Caleb gasped heavily, his eyes panicked as he kept scratching his head.

I stared at him motionlessly, feeling the shattered worldview that I had experienced before.

"Why did Chloe kill Enzo? And is she a human or a ghost?" After a moment of confusion, Caleb finally asked me.

Instead of directly answering Caleb's question, I told him a true and bizarre story.

I explained to Caleb in advance, "That this story is beyond reason. If you don't believe it, just treat it as a story."

The protagonists of the story were Chloe, Jovie, and Enzo.

Chloe had a first love boyfriend named Enzo.

They had been in love for six years, and just when everyone thought they were going to settle down, something unexpected happened.

Chloe got pregnant.

She eagerly went to find Enzo, thinking that this would accelerate their progress.

But she didn't expect that this sudden news would completely unmask Enzo.

Yes, Enzo had fallen out of love long ago.

He asked Chloe to have an abortion, saying that he already had someone else in his heart.

As a hopeless romantic, Chloe naturally disagreed.

She kept it a secret from her parents and took a long leave from her mentor, renting a room outside of school.

And so, her belly grew day by day.

She told Jovie that as long as she gave birth to this child, she could keep Enzo.

Jovie couldn't stand it anymore and went to find Enzo, hoping he would change his mind.

That day, Enzo went to Chloe's rental house.

It was also that day that Chloe seemed like a different person.

She crazily pounded her own stomach, and the child she had been longing for suddenly became a demon that wanted to kill her.

Jovie desperately tried to stop her and kept asking her why.

"Because Enzo is a pervert! He's not human!" Chloe lay on the bed, crying and shouting at Jovie.

Jovie stood still, not knowing what had happened, and could only silently accompany her roommate.

Chloe cried heavily, and it was a long time before she spoke with a lifeless face, "The child in my stomach is not Enzo's!"

That night, Jovie learned the truth. This devil Enzo actually took advantage of his girlfriend being drunk and offered her to someone else.

It was a disgusting transaction. It was fun for them to swap girlfriends and seek excitement.

It was that night that Chloe received a strange message on a dark forum.

Chloe and Jovie shared a common hobby, which was to like strange stories and some ancient legends.

That dark forum was specifically for discussing these things.

The message was sent by a stranger. Because everyone had hidden their real identities, there was no way to find any information about each other.

There was a strange link in the dialogue box.

Chloe clicked on it and looked at it repeatedly for a long time.

She felt that this was a compensation from heaven, because the link contained the occult arts to regain a new life.

As long as she recited the spell at midnight, she could regain a new life.

Chloe actually believed such an outrageous statement.

She regarded it as a life-saving straw and practiced the spell every day.

Until one day, Jovie came to the rental house and found that Chloe's big belly had deflated...

Chloe was bouncing and jumping, looking completely unlike someone who had been pregnant.

At that moment, Jovie suddenly realized that the occult arts might be real.

Chloe actually used the child in her belly as a price to exchange for her own rebirth...

"So, Chloe became like this because of the occult arts?" Caleb asked me incredulously.

I nodded and said, "I don't know if she's human or a ghost... She killed Enzo... Actually, I can understand.

"But slowly, she became more and more out of control... She became more and more irritable, and she would kill anyone who made her angry.

"The two girls in the opposite dormitory were too noisy and disturbed her rest, so she had the intention to kill them.

"I'm really afraid that one day... she will lose control and kill me."
