The police received a call. A person who claimed to be the Ghost said that he was going to kill someone in three days. What's more, the other party hoped that the police could immediately dispatch officers to protect this person, and he intended to complete the hunt under the police's tight protection.
 
In response to this, the police attached great importance to it and made thorough arrangements. When the three-day period arrived, the result was beyond everyone's belief. The target was dead!
 
However, this was just the beginning.
 
The Ghost's goal was to complete 99 perfect crimes and kill 99 enemies.
 
Thus, one perfect crime after another occurred, and the biggest serial murder case in history came into being!

The Ghost in the Dark Night: The Ultimate Revenge Strategy

**Central London — Saturday Afternoon**

London's heart pulsed with weekend energy. Victor Black and Eric Matthews navigated the Victoria Shopping Centre, bags in hand, before slipping into a cinema for *Transformers 9*.

The theater buzzed with chatter. Neon lights flickered as they squeezed past knees to their seats.

Across the aisle sat Isabella Gray—Alex's sister, coldly elegant—and her friend Lily White, whose baby-faced grin radiated chaos.

"*That's Alex's sister,*" Victor muttered to Eric.

"Damn," Eric whispered. "Alex hid a gem."

**Row 12, Seat 4 — Lily's Disaster Zone**

The screen lit up. Explosions roared. Lily, engrossed, clapped as the hero triumphed—

Her elbow knocked a soda cup. Iced cola drenched Victor's jeans.

"OhmygodI'msosorry!" Lily lunged to help, spilling popcorn and ice cream onto his shirt.

Victor stared, frozen, as she wobbled—

"Waaaaah!" She burst into tears.

Victor sat stiffly across from Isabella and a sniffling Lily. Eric stifled laughter.

"I'll buy you new clothes!" Lily hiccuped.

"But dinner is!" She glared, mascara smudged.

Isabella sighed. "Just… let her."

Lily, now cheerful, dominated the table:

"A priest once said I'm an angel's reincarnation! Dad donated a *fortune* to his church!"

"*Great wisdom in simplicity!*" Lily insisted, waving a fry.

Victor, surprisingly engaged, added: "Medieval abbeys saw nuns as angels—pure, untouched by the world. The priest wasn't wrong."

Lily beamed. "See? *I'm celestial!*"

As they parted, Lily hugged Victor. "Sorry again, Math Wizard!"

Walking away, Eric chuckled. "That girl's a tornado."

Victor glanced back. Lily's laughter echoed.

*Unknowable futures,* he thought. *Even angels fall.*
