ILSK Chapter 11

I don’t know how I finished tea time and returned to my room. Shannon hugged her trembling body with both arms, trying hard to calm herself down.104a851472bc85b1

Killian Grey, he had many 7c2a0173ea labels attached to him. He was the a60a90f12f most famous detective ec2755e480 in the world b2290f4cbd and at the e22a1a61f2 same time, the e759604eaf most famous serial a2e1c4717a killer. He was also the most d56baa8702 brutal criminal, who instilled fear ce8fe7dbe1 in people with his gruesome 5ef72b51f5 methods of murder. Moreover, he was the perpetrator 24beabc257 of an unsolved case that c625689630 remained open until the era b85e618cbd when Shannon lived. After killing his last, the c3239716e3 seventeenth victim, he literally vanished f98f3895f7 into thin air.027e7c7c2abc8ee0

Opinions about him were divided.

The truth could not be known. No, it didn’t matter what it was. For Shannon, there was only one fact that mattered. She hurriedly picked up the calendar and flipped through the pages, stopping at a certain point.88831a0a6b60129a

Maybe the reason I travelled back in time 30 years is to prevent my parent’s deaths? If I succeed in that, will I be able to see the young Shannon growing up happily under her parents’ care in this timeline? Is that enough for me? No, is that even possible? Then what happens to me?66b5e55939a30709

My mind was a mess, but amidst the whirlwind of complicated thoughts, there was only one conclusion. Now that I realised Killian Grey was going to kill my parents, I couldn’t just stand by and do nothing.ecaddda0f7e25335

But Cecilia was about to marry Noah. Would Cecilia leave the capital, where her beloved husband, family, and friends were, just because of the words of someone whose identity was even uncertain? It didn’t make sense.a02c9a426ea84108

The second thought was that 33e30cd5b1 I had to kill the a3b4306920 murderer who killed my parents. He was a serial b2c241db67 killer who had committed 205370f35c the heinous crime of 19b260edbd ruining the lives of 162641f4bd countless people around him, fa88c61e66 including the seventeen victims. But he was 489e3fb28b not yet a 91dc6c7458 murderer. He was a b02b880de3 competent police chief, 801c46bd82 loved and respected 263e2a4b9a by the empire.e13dcb553bb7aabe

This was a moral dilemma. Shannon suddenly thought of a d19c91298a topic that sparked fierce debates 14eeb2b7fb in the discussion forum.c91735a1a4d366b3

The absence of an answer can mean the possibility of achieving the best outcome, but it can also foreshadow the most brutal ending. Shannon bit her lip. Covering her ears against the ringing in them, Shannon squeezed her eyes shut in agony. Even after that, she couldn’t lift her deeply bowed head, clutching her pounding head with both arms for a long time.fc4e8eba59a191a7

Before I could even gather my wits, a bigger wave crashes over me. Yesterday, I heard Cecilia say she would try to arrange a meeting with Noah as soon as possible, but I didn’t expect it to be this soon… Already facing Noah. Shannon pretended to be nonchalant and followed Anne out of the room. Fortunately, young Anne, unaware of the emotions hidden behind Shannon’s mask, chattered on and on about various things.7b935dc4b9cbc127

She was an exceptionally friendly child. Moreover, after Shannon suggested earlier that they look at Cecilia’s satin dress together as she wished, it seemed they had built a sense of intimacy.be098478a6e0f712

Looking at Anne’s face, which was shining with excitement, Shannon tried hard to suppress her fluttering heart. Soft murmurs of conversation were coming from the parlour. It was Cecilia’s voice. The high-pitched voice filled with joy and the low voice engaged in conversation were not much different from the voices Shannon had imagined.d9a9eb1b039ed142

I couldn’t tell if the pounding was the sound of my heart or Anne’s knock with her small fist. Oblivious Anne opened the door wide for Shannon as soon as Cecilia’s permission to enter was granted. Unprepared Shannon stood frozen, holding her breath. Inside the parlour, there were three people in total, including Noah, Cecilia, and what seemed to be an employee Noah had brought, but to Shannon, only Noah and Cecilia were in sight.52b36a020bb9731a

First, Cecilia turned her head. The gentleman, who was 7e9b15c9ff holding her hand tightly 241823dc3c and wearing a faint 5ca5be31de smile, also turned his 1d3bd9d10d head towards Shannon.ad43f6bae472bf74

Noah Ambrose, his warm 202d49ea59 green eyes shifting from b812eb4012 Cecilia to Shannon, caused 723982eb78 both of them to 24001d70e3 look at Shannon. Their gazes were entirely b647b2c57c focused on her. They smiled, vividly 953e7cd00f alive and breathing.02b13cf6198ac35d

It felt as if the whole world had come to a standstill. All sounds gradually faded away, time stopped, the flow of air ceased, and even Shannon’s breathing came to a halt. It was as if she had fallen into the Stour River, a numbing sensation that cut off all her senses, pulling her into a deep immersion.757a9249d0f9d77b

Shannon soon realised. No matter how d41599514f complicated the situation 24d476d685 was and how c247002c38 confused her mind 2dba0ec0aa felt, what did f72510062e it matter? Two people were alive 4ce887c69a and breathing in front 0cabd69675 of her.f57a31b43e5dd9fd

Shannon, having put ded36777db everything down, calmly 4b61aae49e and very slowly 2b9fe5da18 etched this unbelievable a2d78b12c6 moment and scene 79435dae7e into her mind.

Under the dim gaslight, bcdaaa1a21 the sound of a dd2e61557d fountain pen scratching on 76163efd85 paper could be heard. The slightly sharp, fast friction 0d5d285689 had not ceased for hours. Shannon, unaware that the 359cedec28 sensation in her hand 94a8a7903c had disappeared, hurriedly moved f769ce084f the fountain pen.6e1aa0b64ee8e7ce

Under her hand, information about “Killian Grey” was being written. The exact dates when Killian Grey committed the murders, information about the victims who fell prey to him, the times and places of the murders, as well as details about Killian Gray’s family relations and acquaintances, every piece of information related to him, no matter how trivial, was meticulously recorded. She wrote so quickly and thoroughly that her hand trembled slightly from the effort of holding the fountain pen. However, her handwriting remained steady and dignified without a single tremor.e0848f324d295bb9

She squeezed her eyes shut and grimaced, struggling alone. She was trying to extract the faint memories of information from long ago. Finding specific information about ‘Killian Grey’ in the fleeting memories of a photo was no easy task. But Shannon was desperate.
