I've Been Here Before

Facing the smiling man's interrogation, the doctor appeared surprisingly calm like he had considered this question already. He nudged to stand behind Chen Ge and pulled the scarf to cover even more of his face. "It was a friend who told me the news about you."

"Then how did your friend come to know about it?" After his secret had been exposed, the smile on the man's face bloomed like a spring flower. Both his tone and demeanor were different from before; it felt as if the man would only experience true joy when he was murdering.

"You only killed the people on the bus. At the time, my friend was outside the bus, and he witnessed everything."

"Is that so? Then, where is this friend now?"

"He's dead now. He never returned after entering the ghost apartment." When he heard that the doctor's friend was dead, there was a slight shift to the smiling man's expression. It felt like regret.
