In the darkness there was a very old television on, showing news reports.
(Bzzz) -The TV squeaked.
That Monday afternoon, yet another macabre case was discovered, and the authorities are looking for the culprit.
(Bzzz)
This time the victim had his organs removed and thrown around his body, his eyes were gouged out, and from what we found out, it all happened while the victim was still alive. This is the 3rd case in less than 4 days, the other victims were killed in similar ways, all of them brutally. Everything points to the perpetrator of these three cases being the same person, so we have just one question... who is this monster who did it?
(Click) -The TV has been turned off.
-(Laughs) How cute, they're still looking for me... and quite sadly, so far they haven't found any of the tips I left.
Allow me to explain who I am, my name is Arthur, I don't have a surname, I came into this world two years ago, and I am the murderer who has just been reported on television, let me explain how I came into this world.
Brazil 1987
(Bang)
-What a pain! -Arthur was irritated.
He pulled a pack of cigarettes out of his pocket, took one out and lit it.
- That old bastard, she sends me on these missions knowing that I hate playing at finding "treasure".
Around him were more than 30 bodies.
-You... will burn... in hell!" With his last strength, the bleeding old man warned Arthur.
-(Laughs) Seriously Grandpa, you're wasting your time telling me something I already know. -Arthur mocks the man.
He puts his gun into the man's mouth.
-Now let's make a bet! Am I going to crack your skull or not?
The old man raises his arm and flashes his middle finger at Arthur, who lets out a broad smile watching the scene, then pulls the trigger.
-I like you, old man.
He puts it in his holster and decides to go back to the base. When he gets there, he is escorted underground. A middle-aged woman is sitting there, her hair is black and her eyes are brown, her aura is powerful.
-I'm back, Mom.
-What about the mission?
He takes something out of his pocket and throws it at his mother.
-Perfect! -The woman had a broad smile on her face.
(Bang)
Suddenly my chest burned, without realizing it I fell to my knees on the floor, my mother looked at me with a smile, she didn't even care, she just betrayed me.
-Without you I would never have reached this position, you were unquestionably strong, in all your missions you didn't fail a single one of them! But unfortunately... your usefulness is over, I can finally... finally achieve what I've longed for! O "@(#-$-@".
"What... did she say? Oh, I don't know, it sounded like a hiss going through my ears."
-Mother...
-(She gets up and puts her hand on his neck and starts talking) And sad son, now just rest, okay? Pffff ah really! It's hard to keep from laughing, just die soon and go to hell.
Arthur raises his hands and puts them on his mother's face.
-Mom...
-Oh dear.
-I'm not going to hell alone.
Arthur lets out a big smile and raises his hands, showing a circuit breaker.
-I'll see you in hell.
-NO!
Arthur clicks the button, suddenly bombs all over the building start to detonate, the whole building starts to demolish on top of everyone, Arthur laughs sadistically, it was wonderful, seeing the frightened faces, there was nothing better than the taste of fear of his victims, his mother holds his neck, cursing him, the building finally buried everything, that was the end.
That's what Arthur thought, he woke up, only he woke up and realized that he was alive, however, he was no longer at the base but in a room, he got up and looked around, opening the door he came across a shelf full of wines, beers, whiskies and even champagnes, looking around he found a switch, the lights turned on, this was a tavern, suddenly he falls to the floor, and countless memories flood his mind, he realizes one thing, that body wasn't his, he picks up the bottle of champagne and looks at his reflection, that face didn't have any scars, his hair was black, but his eyes were green, his face was well cared for, that body was very beautiful, his name was the same as mine. "
At that moment I knew I had to disguise myself well, after all the owner of that body had many friendships, knowing this, I observed his memories and molded my personality to be identical to his, and for 2 years I became him, and thus, I became "Arthur" the owner of the sparkling tavern.
