The Ninth Killer

[Blurb] The past never truly disappears. It is only buried beneath the dust of time. One day, standing in the depths of the abyss, you witness the darkest sins of the human world. Close your eyes, and severed limbs spin before you as the gravely wounded reach out to you. What do you hear? Screams, sobbing, and someone grinning as they repeat the same words again and again... What can you see here? People who should be dead, yet are still alive; a grotesque father and son, a woman who has gone mad, and countless hands reaching out from a village. [Daily Life] Gu Beicheng has been troubled lately. He has realized that the new, petite woman at work has a crush on him. Why? Because when he goes to get a drink, she's watching him. When he goes to deliver documents, she's still watching him. Doesn't that mean she likes him? He's deeply conflicted and has started thinking about how to turn down his cute coworker. People online say he could invite her to dinner and a movie, then let her down gently. Others say he could secretly leave flowers on her desk, then let her down gently. Gu Beicheng thinks it over and decides the first parts of both suggestions sound pretty good. What can he say? His coworker likes him so much! A 1v1, single-couple story; there may be two or three couples. I'll try to avoid over-the-top drama. No cruel or brainless female or male rivals, no love triangles, and no angst. A light romance in a mystery wrapper. The author has no sense of logic, but is doing their best to make the story cute~ That's that.
