Chapter: Chapter 46Every nerve in my body was charged as I hopped onto Visnu’s car. I was eager to talk to Aminah again. I owe her an apology after my rash act. More importantly, she is key to unlocking information that may help the investigation. The journey to the hospital was swift with Visnu behind the wheel. Kelly sat at the back, anticipation written on her radiant face. She has that dauntless vibes that infects you and gives you that boost. Her strength and independent streak can be attributed to her upbringing and training. At the hospital, we found Aminah warded in a single ward on the twelfth floor. It was a thoughtful arrangement knowing the trauma Aminah has experienced. There was a policeman stationed outside the ward to assist, and he swiftly snapped to attention upon seeing Visnu.As we were about to enter, Visnu held onto the doorknob, looked at me and asked.“How do you want to do this?”I sensed his reservation and immediately understood his concerns."I promised I will be careful i

Chapter: Chapter 45“You promise.” Visnu’s stern look made me uncomfortable and I repeated my promise“Thanks, Adam. We know you are working hard to uncover the truth.”"Let me share my findings?” I said looking down at the pad in front of me. “My transition last night yielded two key findings. Let’s talk about Mavis Chua. I had planned to start with her because I needed a family member to assess the predisposition of the spirit. It was a correct decision as the spirit did not attack her.”“Only you?" May askedI nodded “I suspected the spirit could be a member of the family who is long deceased.""This is sounding ridiculous," May remarked as she eyeballed Visnu. I bit my lips."Who are you suspecting?" Visnu asked"The most likely one would be the deceased Mrs Chua," I replied"The mother?” May added, skeptical and continued “Mother? You suspect the mother is unhappy with Claudia and came back to attack her?”Visnu asked. “Looked there may be some animosity or can you provide some causes for that nas

Chapter: Chapter 44We never found a satisfactory answer. The best way to find out is to visit the columbarium. Though it was past midnight, every cell in my body called for action. However, I knew that was not possible.After we wrapped up our discussion, I headed to the showers. There was a certain humidity from the action and I felt sticky on my back and arms. As I stood under the showers, thoughts of the mansion flowed into my mind. I worked out the possible scenarios when there is an attack by a supernatural entity. A resident spirit in the residence or neighbourhood? Or it could be a spirit sent by a family that was unfriendly to the Chuas? Could there be another spirit that is deeply unhappy with the Chuas?As I turned off the tap, the steam from the hot water bath cleared but my mind remained cluttered. After I dried myself, and walked out to the corridor, I was treated to a symphony of whistles and snorts. Kelly has fallen asleep. She told me she had a hard day. What had she been up to in the

Chapter: Chapter 43I rubbed my forehead as I recollected “She mentioned a scratching sound that could be heard from time to time but she can't see the creator of the sound. There is an eerie feel to it.“It could be anything - the sharp fingers of a woman spirit or toe nails of a limping man spirit.”“You have seen it all ya?" I said"Is that a praise." Kelly retorted and then giggled"In this case, I am not sure. I wished I can be sure.”“Maybe Aminah already knew.”“This is how I would construct the timeline of events. Aminah heard some noises in the living room, she checked but may have missed out on seeing something in that house. She thought it was a cat and in the dark of the night but she did not check further.”“Nobody would be walking around in that huge mansion at 3am.”“Probably. Now, let me continue. After finding nothing, she went back to sleep. John Chua mentioned Claudia woke up in the middle of the night, likely after Aminah returned to her room. She did not check on the source of the so

Chapter: Chapter 42I switched on my laptop which is connected to the mounted wide screen and began to scribble“I had another transition.”“So soon?” Kelly eyes widened like bulbs of burning light. “You must be exhausted. Remember Master Sato advised us never to conduct more than 2 transitions in 7 days. You will hurt your 元气 Yuan Qi.”“I will take rest tomorrow to construct my logic.”“Please. I don’t want to watch you broken. Don’t die before me”“We will both scale Mount Fuji again.”“Deal!” Kelly unleashed her naughty giggles.“Now flood me with your facts”“In our second transition, I encountered the same spirit again.”“The same spirit. That makes the investigation interesting. Probably a restless soul that is causing disturbances”“ Tt is stronger.”“You were beaten again?” Kelly asked“ I had a better chance this time but a strange thing happened. The dark spirit has attempted to engage me.”“Engage?”“Communicate.""What's the message?""I am trying to figure out.""Was it that tough?""It did

Chapter: Chapter 41“What else did you see?” Mavis asked, her eyes widened with curiosity. “I saw a girl. Perhaps you? The girl was running around the swimming pool and playing a game of catching with a lady.”“My mum?“I nodded"She called you 小宝宝 - the little dear one."”Mavis shook her head, looking lost. “You looked confused.”She smiled nervously “My mum never called me that. Or at least my memory does not register such a term.”“She did not?”“My mother does not call me that. I do not remember she ever does.” She winced “She calls me Ah Girl or Sayang which is Malay for darling.”I felt my senses were stroked. I pressed on with my questions.“My gut feeling was that I was back to a time set at least twenty years ago? The Chua Mansion of the year 2000? Mavis, can you remember what happened in those days?”“Year 2000? I have no idea. I am probably five years ago. Too young to remember but I can ask my father.”“I am silly. You are too young." I shook my head "Dont ask him now. He is exhausted from
