"Actually, about a year ago, I had an encounter with this serial killer, who originally committed his crimes on the Northern Continent."
Only after the dishes were served did Aiden hear Deborah continue the topic they had started earlier.
Aiden did not reply, but quietly waited for Deborah to continue speaking.
"During my time on the Northern Continent, he targeted me," Deborah said. "Thanks to the 'God's language' my father taught me, he didn't succeed, but I also failed to catch him…"
"Wait a minute!" Aiden immediately frowned and interrupted Deborah, "How are you so certain that person was the doppelganger serial killer?"
"Because he came to kill me in my own guise," Deborah explained.
"Are you serious?" Aiden asked again for confirmation.
"This... Why would I lie about this matter?" Deborah looked genuinely puzzled; she couldn't understand why Aiden suddenly became dubious about it.
"..." Aiden fell silent.
