It was 8am in the night as it continued to rain heavily.
Inside an upper apartment complex of a high rise apartment building which had its power mysteriously cut off as the city below was the only distant light barely illuminating the destroyed living room for the large windows with open curtains, where a grizzly brawl was ensuing.
The cutting-edge television screen was cracked, the white glass table and expensive white mattress was stained with fresh blood that came from Cha Kyung-Jun, an injured man in his late twenties with above average looks and tall build, wearing white sweatpants and a white sweater that had blood staining it as the deep wound that had pierced into his abdomen was oozing out blood at an incredibly fast pace while he crawled to the phone laying on the corner.
Behind him, standing up from behind the white leather couch that had been flipped over was a figure dressed in all black, picking up the bloody kitchen that dripped with Cha Hyun-Soo's blood!
The figure in black stood up straight with a a grunt of pain as he looked at Cha Hyun-Soo who was slowly wiping off the blood he smeared on his phone while he softly cried with a pool of blood forming on the white tile floor, quickly walking to him with loud footsteps of his boots that made Cha Hyun-Soo flinch and accidentally drop his phone on the floor.
"No, please no." Cha Hyun-Soo cried, finally putting in the last digit number of his pin, when he suddenly felt a heavy object slam and press onto his back which was the figure in black's knee.
The figure forcefully grabbed Cha Hyun-Soo by his long dark brown hair and positioned the sharp edge of the knife by his neck, mercilessly moving the knife left and right as he slit his throat!
Cha Hyun-Soo slowly bled as he tried stop the blood from leaking out of his throat by pressing his hands on it, but failing as the figures knee lifted as he flipped Cha Hyun-Soo over and watched the life drain out of his brown eyes with tears streaming out of and down his cheeks as he passed away.
The room was quiet except for the figure in black's breathing as he silently stared at the body in front of him before he positioned the knife above the dead Cha Hyun-Soo's eye as he gouged it out, subsequently doing the same to the other eye!
The figure then took out eight red spider-lilies that had their petals bent and torn from the scuffle and stuffed four in each eye.
This represented the fourth victim!

Inside a hospital room, wearing white hospital clothes was Jin-Ah as she sat on a chair next to an unconscious Ryu Sun-Jae who hadn't woken up for the past 6 days as he laid on the bed.
Jin-Ah blankly stared at the television mounted on the corner wall that had tuned into a news channel speaking about the recently emerged killer, who was dubbed the "Red Retribution".
"And the killer's victims were those that committed crimes, what does that say about them?" Asked one of the spokeswoman
"It says nothing. Those "criminals" are to be judged by the law, not by people like this maniac who think they can perform disgusting methods like this!" Replied the other spokesman.
"But the law has judged those criminals and with very light sentences at that." The spokeswoman countered back.
"So, you're saying that this killer did the right thing?!" Retorted the spokesman.
"No, what I'm saying is that these criminals should not be walking around so freely after what they've done."
"The law is just and fair, to both criminals and their victims."
Jin-Ah scoffed at that last statement as she turned the television off with the remote on the table.
"Then why is my grandmother dead?" Jin-Ah asked softly.
She turned and stared at Sun-Jae who was still peacefully resting.

Exiting an elevator on the upper floor of a high rise building while putting on her light blue latex gloves as she turned to her right before stopping to look at the trail of bloody boot prints, heading out of the apartment complex with it's door open as NFS was taking photos in the passageway of a man in his late twenties who was wearing white sweatpants and a white sweater stained with dry blood as his neck was slit open and his eyes gouged out, filled with four red spider-lilies in each empty socket.
'Talk about extreme.' Yeon-Hee commented inwardly at the gruesome sight as she took a deep breath and walked to the door and stared at the body.
She knelt down and stared at the trail of bloody thick boot prints leading away from the dead body, before Dae-Bom peeked through the passageway from the living room.
"Over here." He called a bit too enthusiastically as he disappeared from her view.
'Read the tone of the room.' Yeon-Hee said inwardly as she stood up and walked beside the body while walking over the dried puddle of blood on the white tile floor before she entered the wrecked living room brightened by the cloudy sky.
Standing in the destroyed room were Kim Dae-Bom and Kang In-Hyuk who were observing the state of the room in silence.
'Let's begin.' Yeon-Hee said inwardly as she began observing the state of the room.
