side character transmigration: the final boss is no joke

27

Xia Xuan hadn't made the attempt on her life; Someone else had. The one who attempted the murder was Zhou Yi. He was the son of a civil servant and was the one who Shi Sheng 'obtained' the photos and videos from.

After that case that year, Zhou Yi brought these with him when he went overseas. Though he had never come back into the country, he was just that kind of person in his bones; He couldn't help the dark and demented thoughts that popped up. At first, he only used those photos and videos to relieve his desire.

But as time went on, these were no longer enough to satisfy his cravings. In the end, he could not resist those dark impulses any longer. After his first sweet taste, he couldn't help but fall into an irredeemable abyss.

All these years he had never gotten caught. He had even managed to find several like-minded people to join him in his 'pursuits'. Yet not long ago, he started receiving some inexplicable curses from people online. Only after he saw the name 'Xia Xuan' in their words and search it up online did he know the secret was out.

Even he himself didn't know why he wanted to kill Xia Xuan. It was as if there was a voice in his head telling him to do it.

When Zhou Yi was arrested, he confessed to everything. He even had several videos in his possession documenting the mutilation of the bodies from back then. It was very bloody and cruel.

He testified that everyone had been high on drugs back then. They had discovered the couple in that old building and relied on their superior numbers to subdue them. However, just as they were about to begin their torture session, those two struggled fiercely and the girl had been pushed by someone in the chaos. Her head rammed onto a sharp object, causing instant death.

Seeing this, the boy fought even harder. Everyone back then had been stoned to the point they didn't even notice someone had died. Instead, they began torturing the boy, causing to have been tormented to death.

Zhou Yi couldn't remember who it was who suggested mutilating the bodies. With videos and plenty of evidence, Xia Xuan was sentenced to jail amidst much clamour. Everyone who participated in this matter back then was arrested.

This matter had been blown so big even those influential families didn't dare to make any obvious moves. They just hired lawyers and followed procedures.

Under the guidance of their respective families, all the people claimed they were under the influence of drugs and so it could only count as manslaughter.

However, from the video evidence gathered, the police determined that they had been sound of mind back then. They were clearly thinking straight as they even disposed of the evidence after splitting up the bodies. Hence, the police deemed it to be an intentional homicide case.

The police also approached the victims of abuse and attempted to persuade them to testify in court. Perhaps the others were afraid of being retaliated against for only one person stood out.

Yet even like this, these people had still been charged with deliberate harm and intentional homicide. Because of the special circumstances surrounding this case as well, their sentence was quite heavy. However, not long after they were sentenced, Xia Xuan and Zhou Yi were sent to a mental asylum.

When Shi Sheng saw the report, she laughed soundlessly. 'Did you guys think you could get off easy by entering an asylum? In that kind of place, even if you weren't sick before, you'd turn crazy after a while. How long will you be able to last, Xia Xuan?'

It was really thanks to Zhou Yi that Xia Xuan was brought down so quickly. Had it not been for him ensuring that Xia Xuan stayed for such a long time in the hospital, things would've been made slightly more difficult.
