[Prohibited entry | Police line]

"The team is still in the process of investigating the scene of the crime."

"The victim is 25 years old, it is known that the victim is a student. The police are still investigating the case."

"Recovered a man's body with a very painful wound. The police are still in the investigation phase …"

Journalists from various television media covered the incident that has been troubling Seoul city residents for months. Many people came to see the scene where a man's body was found lying near the dump site of a restaurant.

The police are identifying and taking some photos as evidence of the crime scene. The forensics team was so careful to take samples that could possibly find traces of the killer.

"It seems this is going to be a big deal."

"This has been the sixth victim in the last two years, but we can't find ready to do it yet? People are already feeling uneasy about this?"

The detectives responsible for the recent faceless death case seem so uneasy.

Not long before a forensic doctor approached them.

"What about the time of his death, Doctor Lee?" asked the team captain.

"The time of death was about three hours ago. The wound on the victim's body is the same as the previous victim. I'll look into it further and I'll send you the results soon."

Doctor Lee seemed so worried to see his friend who was so restless in the face of a large case that had taken many victims. Captain Steven Park feels very sorry for the victims. Because of his inability to catch a criminal who's still out there, to take another victim back.

Doctor Lee approached and embraced and said, "Don't worry. I'll work on it as soon as I can."

Steven tried to draw a smile even as an asshole. "Thank you,"

"By the way, where's Anna? She disappeared again?"

"That boy, it's so hard to listen to me!!" upset Steven trying to stay calm and call someone. 

"Suho!!"

"Yup, captain!"

Then a young man named Suho, who was interviewing an eyewitness, immediately rushed to Steven.

"Do you know where Anna is?"

"Senior Anna? I called him. It seems that he went to the forest, because he found an eyewitness who saw the perpetrator figure there." Suho replied casually. Maybe because he's the youngest of his coworkers, so he still looks like a kid.

"Instead of doing the right job, she always wandering around!!" muttered Steven, picking up his phone to call Anna

***

The sound of a phone ringing broke Anna's focus, which is currently checking the CCTV footage of a witness. Anna is shocked to death, because the place she is currently in seems a little scary.

"Shit! Surprised, damn it! Who's calling?"

Anna was upset while taking her phone. Both eyes were perfectly rounded when they saw the call from Captain Steven. Anna's been convinced that she's going to get a scolding for not being on the scene right now.

"Yup! Capten …!"

"ANNA!" Where are you going?! Now soon you come!!"

Steven snapped and made Anna have to keep her phone out of her ear because it hurts. She just breathed a sigh, as if she were used to the captain's arrogance.

"All right … I'll be right there."

The phone line broke. It's very annoying to have a captain who's very contrary to his thinking. In the end Anna chose to ignore the call and went on to see CCTV footage leading to a wilderness in Mount Jiri.

"Why so many cameras aren't on," Anna murmured.

Suddenly Anna was shocked by the voice of a middle-aged man who appeared from behind the entrance of the room.

"We have repeatedly submitted requests for CCTV repair but until now there is still no answer."

A middle-aged man who is one of the guards of Mount Jiri who has been working for almost 20 years. However, the middle-aged man's figure slightly made people who saw him misunderstand him, because his face had a fairly long incision scar, crossing from his forehead to past his left eye. Mr. Byeon gave Anna a bottle of mineral water.

"Thank you. But... Mr. Byeon, I heard some climbers have been seeing strange things in the woods lately? Is that just a rumor?" Anna asked.

That may sound like a rumor to people who just hear it. But it's so real to people who are watching it for themselves.

Some climbers say that they see a white cat with blue eyes, always showing the way home for the lost climbers.

Some also say that they saw a cat transformed into a human. But everyone who sees it will be unconscious and will wake up when the sun comes up.

After hearing the story, Anna hurried into the woods alone. Anna also borrowed climbing gear from Mr. Byeon for his safety. She's only allowed in until the first resting place.

"This is so troublesome!! Good thing I've climbed before …," murmured Anna, who was getting tired.

It'll take 30 minutes to get to the rest area. During her journey he found absolutely nothing strange, apparently she had mischosen the time. The time has come to 11 p.m. and it looks like it's starting to rain a little.

"Is there anyone inside? Why is the light on?" asked Anna looking toward the hut 10 meters away from where she was standing.

But suddenly she heard the sound of someone screaming so loudly from the direction of the hut.

"HAAAA!!!"

Anna was shocked to death to the extent that she had goosebumps to hear a woman screaming. Worried if anything happened inside the hut, with careful steps, Anna began to walk.

"Who's there? Is there anyone?" Anna sighed with anxiety.

Anna's step stopped immediately, the hand holding the flashlight trembled and her eyes widened when she saw a strange human figure coming out of the hut. The figure in black looks so strange because he has a tail like a cat and a mouth filled with blood.

Damn it. Anna's eyes met that strange human figure. 

"Shit! What is that thing? He saw me!"

Her body reacted like it was telling him to run away immediately. Before the figure approached, Anna immediately ran as fast as she could, without seeing where she was running.

"Shit! What the hell is that thing?! Why is this a horror movie …!!"
