Chapter 0 Prologue
Creation epoch 506, autumn.
Human Federation, Huaxia District, Handan, the capital of Hebei Province.
‘”This is Handan Television’s HDC report: The Chief Justice of the Handan Intermediate Court today signed a death sentence. Eleven people on death row will be executed at 7 p.m. today. What is striking is that Qin Lun, a serial murderer, is also on the death penalty list …”
On the billboard above the floating driveway, a beautiful hostess of Handan TV News Channel suddenly appeared. At the same time, the constant flow of various maglev vehicles, car radio also sounded the attention of the blockbuster news.
After entering a new epoch, the earth human beings have formed a unified federal country, the productivity has been greatly improved, and the material life is more superior. However, the increase in productivity did not bring about a narrowing of the gap between the rich and the poor, and the lack of spiritual life also contributed to rampant criminal activities.
The reason why the serial killer Qin Lun attracted the attention of the world was not only because his killing methods were cruel and the crime scene was extremely bloody, but also because Qin Lun had once caused great controversy in the world when he degenerated into a killer maniac.
…
Twelve years ago, a horrible bloodbath shocked the entire city in the second slum of Handan.
Only Elaine, a five-year-old stepdaughter in a coma, and Joey, an eight-year-old stepson with a pair of scissors in hand, were killed on Christmas Eve.
After careful investigation by the police, all the evidence in the case points to stepson Joey as the murderer …
Of course, it was too unimaginable to testify against an eight-year-old youth as a murderer. This case quickly caused great controversy throughout China. Child welfare agencies in Handan quickly intervened and produced numerous evidence of the Foster couple’s death and ill-treatment of the siblings.
The Fosters are Europeans, immigrants from North America, and not biological parents of the Joey siblings.
The siblings were Chinese. Brother Qin Lun, sister Qin Mei, and their biological parents had died in a car accident. They were adopted by the Fosters and renamed Joey Foster and Elaine Foster.
Under the pressure of public opinion, Handan police handed over the siblings to a child welfare institution. A month later, her sister Elaine was adopted by another family. As Joey was suspected of murder, no one was willing to adopt him. The teenager returned to Qin Lun’s original name and stayed in the Children’s Welfare Institute.
Four years passed in a hurry. Just as the murder that shook the Federation slowly faded from people’s memories, another murder occurred at Qin Lun’s Children’s Welfare Institute.
A robust man nursed a broken bowel and died tragically in Qin Lun’s room. The twelve-year-old thin youth hugged the scissors again, his entire body covered in blood curled up in a corner …
Afterwards, a director of the Welfare Institute revealed that the male nurse had a criminal record of child abuse and was severely warned by the Welfare Institute once. He was not expelled from the Children’s Welfare Institute because of his kinship with the head of the institution.
Qin Lun killed in self-defense and was not punished by law. However, this incident seemed to have opened a Pandora’s box in Qin Lun’s heart. The teenager who had been diagnosed with schizophrenia by a psychiatrist had embarked on a long-destined path of destiny.
In the next eight years, Qin Lun had killed dozens of people in psychiatric hospitals, juvenile detention centers, and severe punishment prisons with different methods. He had completely turned into a true mad murderer …
