Chapter 10: Double Life of a Devil

For am, the killer age na 45–55. E get wife and children, e childhood sad and lonely, e no fit enjoy normal married life—na only when e see im victims dey suffer, e dey feel pleasure.

E dey live double life. For day, e be like ordinary person, but for night, devil dey borrow im face.

The wicked killing process na im own way to do wetin e no fit do—the deeper the wound, the more pleasure e get.

Olawale explain say, "The more pain e cause, the more e dey happy. Na so e take manage im own problem."

Personality wise, the killer dey proud, feel say e too sabi, but e no really get sense like that. E dey kill with plan, but e no get creative mind.

E dey act like say e dey control everybody, but e dey repeat pattern. No be real genius, just careful.

Why e dey remove eyes? Maybe na frustration because e no fit perform, or e believe say dead person eyes dey keep last thing dem see. For Naija belief, dem dey talk say dead person eyes fit show wetin dem see last.

For village, elders dey warn say, "No let eye open for dead body, e fit show the killer." Maybe na why e dey comot eye.

"So why e dey remove organs?"

Musa dey reason say maybe na ritual, but Olawale get another idea.

"Na im own way to show say e get power, to cover up for wetin e no fit do for normal life."

E dey try use evil to cover im own weakness. E believe say if e dey control life and death, nobody fit touch am.

Musa reason, "We never see these organs for scene, e mean..."

E dey suspect say maybe killer dey keep am for house, or dey sell for ritual.

Olawale nod. "Either e throw dem away, or e chop dem. For me, I believe say e dey eat dem."

That one shock Musa. E shout, "Blood of Jesus!"

Wetin! This na real wicked, heartless, perverse devil.

E mean say the killer fit dey waka for street, dey chop suya, but e dey eat human part for inside house. Na so evil reach.

To catch devil, Musa gats reason like devil.

E dey read all serial killer book. E no dey sleep. Wife dey beg am, "No let devil enter your mind o!"

But as Musa dey reason the case for midnight, e no know say devil dey plan next move just two streets away.
