Secret Killer

It was almost noon, and the world and its people were busy with their own stuff.

A familiar red car was passing by the highway at the speed of 70 kilometers per hour.

Suddenly, out of nowhere, a body of a young man fell on top of the car and rolled on the street.

The red car stopped soon after, and a pink-haired girl walked out of the car.

The girl rushed to the young man's body and flipped him over to see his face.

The girl was Anna, and the young man was other than Leon.

"Leon!" she shouted with an anxious and concerned look on his face.

Anna glanced around and noticed no cars were stopping by or even paying attention to them. She somehow managed to carry Leon to her car and drove off somewhere.

When Leon opened his eyes, he found himself on the bed of his apartment. He stared at the ceiling for a while before letting out a loud grunt of pain.

"Why… am I feeling the pain?" Leon asked himself. 'It must be because of the healing symbiote.'

Lita's healing symbiote had healed everything inside Leon's body, including his sensory system. So now, he could feel the pain in his body, which would make it hard for Leon to do certain things. Of course, the healing ability also worked on the pain. It helped in subduing it within seconds to minutes, depending on the injury.

Leon sat up and grabbed his head in his head to avoid the pain, but it didn't work.

"How am I here?" he wondered.

Leon was on his way to his apartment after having a fantastic time with Lita. However, as he was jumping around at crazy speed and pushing his limits like never before after getting his healing ability evolved, he suddenly felt dizzy and eventually fell on Anna's car.

Coincidently, Anna was on her way to Leon's apartment because he hadn't shown up at the university. She always saw and read the news about the incident last light, and she was curious to know if Leon did it.

After Leon crashed on top of Anna's car, Anna was going to take Leon to the hospital. However, she noticed that Leon's injury had healed, so she brought him to his apartment.

SNIFF SNIFF!

Leon smelled a pleasant aroma coming to his room. He got up from the bed and followed the scent, only to see Anna cooking in the kitchen.

Leon walked to Anna and remarked, "I really should change my lock."

"No matter what lock you change to, I can break into anyone's house without even letting them know," Anna asserted with a proud look on her face.

Leon sighed and asked, "What are you doing here?"

"A certain someone crashed on top of my car. Now, I have a broken windshield and dented roof," Anna frowned at Leon.

"How could someone crash on top of your car… unless you are talking about monkeys or if you were driving under the pride or something," Leon wondered. He had no idea Anna was talking about him.

Anna raised her brows and asked, "Do you want to know who that was?"

Leon nodded with a curious look on his face.

"Go into the living room, then turn right. Open the door, and you will see that person," Anna said with a forced smile on her face.

"You brought that person here?!" Leon shouted.

Annoyed and furious, Leon went into the living room and turned right to reach the bathroom door. Leon opened the door and saw himself in the mirror.

He was left speechless.

He face-palmed himself and let out a weary sigh: "I hate this girl."

When Leon went back to the kitchen, He saw Anna grinning and laughing out loud.

"I am not paying for the repair cost of your car," Leon uttered nonchalantly.

"I don't need it."

Leon returned to the living room and turned on the television to watch King's game.

However, for some reason, Leon wasn't in the mood to watch King's game. Even he was surprised to realize that he didn't feel like watching it.

King's game was Leon's favorite show, and he would do anything to watch it. He even watched it while having sex with Tania and Layla. So him not wanting to watch the King's game show was like a pregnant woman saying she never had sex.

Leon turned off the television and curled up on the couch until Anna called him for the food.

Leon hated to admit it, but Anna's cooking tasted better than Layla's, and that pissed him off because Layla was his number one in everything.

However, when spat out as soon as he ate one bite.

Anna was baffled to see that, and she thought she messed up while making the food. But, when she ate, it tasted fine. To confirm her concerns, she ate from Leon's plate, and it tasted the same.

"Why did you spat out? Was there something in it?" Anna asked with a curious and concerned look on her face.

"No… the food…" Leon tried to eat again, but he spat it out. "It tastes terrible…"

"What do you mean?! It tastes just fine!" Anna retorted.

"I don't know… everything just seems off. I feel bored and… sad…" Leon curled up and hugged his legs before muttering, "What's happening to me...?"

"..."

"I feel… terrible. My heart hurts, and I am getting frequent strokes… is it the side effect of the serum?" he murmured.

No, it wasn't the side effect of the healing symbiote. It was something serious.

"Leon…" Anna called out to Leon and said, "Look at me."

Leon didn't look at Anna and kept his head lowered under his lap.

"Leon… look at me."

After a few seconds, Leon finally looked up at Anna, but his vision was blurry due to tears in his eyes.

"I think I know what's happening to you…" Anna uttered in a low and calm voice.

"What…?"

"You are feeling depressed."

Leon… was suffering from depression.
