After Vixen Sature left, Kin Ouren finally opened up to his best friend Shen Seizan.
With trembling excitement in his voice, Kin said,
"Vixen Sature… he's Banja. He's the husband from my past life…"
Shen Seizan stood there stunned, staring at Kin.
He saw the joy glimmering in Kin's eyes—eyes that had been filled with pain for so long.
Shen slowly smiled and said,
"Well, I may not believe in past lives, but I'm happy for you, buddy.
You've finally found your life partner… that's what really matters.
And to be honest, I did get a good vibe from that Vixen guy. He seems… solid."
Then, teasingly, Shen nudged Kin and grinned.
"So when's the wedding, huh?"
Kin blushed deeply, flustered at Shen's teasing.
The rest of the day passed in laughter and light-hearted banter between the two friends—finally, some peace.

That night, while Kin Ouren slept peacefully…
A sound began to whisper.
Faint… cold… cruel.
A raspy voice echoed in Kin's ear:
> "So… you've returned…?
This time, I'll make sure you die… again."
The whispers grew louder, closer, more malicious.
Kin woke up with a start. His body covered in cold sweat.
He looked at the clock. It was 2:30 a.m.
His throat felt dry and tight.
"Why does my throat feel like it's burning?" he thought.
He got up and walked to the kitchen to get some water.
As he stepped into the hallway…
In the pitch darkness of the outer room…
He saw it.
A silhouette.
Sitting still.
Eyes glowing faintly in the dark—locked directly onto him.
Kin froze in terror.
He turned, about to run back into his room—when suddenly…
An invisible force gripped his throat.
Tight. Crushing. Cold.
He couldn't breathe.
He tried to scream Shen's name—
But no sound came out.
His voice was gone.
He struggled, clawed at the air, kicked blindly—
And then— CRASH!
One of the wooden furniture pieces fell loudly on the floor.
The sound jolted Shen Seizan awake.
Shen ran out of his room—Kin wasn't there.
Panicking, he searched the hallway…
And then he saw it.
Kin Ouren—
His body stiff, floating just slightly off the ground,
Possessed.
His eyes unfocused.
His mouth slightly open, but silent.
Something was inside him.
Shen rushed forward and caught Kin just as the force released him.
Kin collapsed in his arms, unconscious.
Without wasting a second, Shen carried him back into the room,
Unlocked Kin's phone using his fingerprint,
And quickly dialed Vixen Sature's number.
His voice shaking, he said:
> "Vixen… something just happened.
Something really wrong.
Kin—he was possessed. You have to come… now."
