Update Notice

I have 2 news, bad news and good news. The bad news is that I'm swamped with work and exam this month. January is an important month for me this year so I had to put aside the least important thing. The point is, future update for this month will be pushed to next month. The good news is that, the translation for the whole Black Butterfly novel is almost completed. So, I've decided to reduce the update frequency but in return, I'll increase the word count for each update, meaning you'll get to read a longer chapter. I'm not sure if I've mentioned this before but this novel is not divided by chapter, only the *** if you get what I mean. And the word count for every *** differs a lot. So, the updates before are quite irregular in terms of length.  Anyway, to those who patiently wait for the updates, thank you. This noob translator will now retreats into seclusion for a while 😘

BBDW 45 [Black Butterfly] - Nevereverland

Prev Chap Notice Next Chap Section 39 (UNEDITED) Answering half-heartedly to Tim that he would never drink beer, it has been three hours since Jude returned to his old apartment. Jude shook his head irritably at his still-sounding heart. His voice, which he heard over the monitor, shook his mind like a small earthquake. - You don't know anything about me. Why did the words, among his other words, which were all filled with mockery and laughter, sound so sad? When he said it coldly, with the gravity of just notifying the person who will take his own life, or the anger that his name was stolen, why did it sound so painful? He shook his head roughly and fell on the sofa, and someone knocked on the door. TangTang , a small sound rang in his ears. When he saw the phone time as he was dumbfounded by the sound - It was past 12 o'clock - Jude approached the door. Turning the doorknob, Jude narrowed his eyebrows to a cer...

BBDW 44 [Black Butterfly] - Nevereverland

Prev Chap Next Chap Section 38 (UNEDITED)   Half-mad, the Chief asked for an inspection of the laptop almost in a seizure, but nothing was found in the laptop until the promised time neared. It was unclear whether the product was supplied on a formal route or not, and there was no program to point out the user's clues other than the very basic specifications. Despite the desperate efforts of the Chief and other police officers, - if we don't get anything out of this, we may see hell at nine o'clock tonight! - apparently, there was still no harvest tonight, and eventually, they were forced to sit in front of the turned on laptop around 9 p.m. "I feel so disgusted..." "Damn it, I know something's going to pop out but I'm still watching this..." Perhaps it was hard to bear the heavy silence; small voices of complaints coming from all over the place can be heard. But since there was no other option, they a...

BBDW 43 [Black Butterfly] - Nevereverland

Prev Chap Next Chap Section 37 (UNEDITED)   "-Is this really okay? ” "They told us to do it, what can we do about it." "Oh, my God, I should have opposed it until the end." Biting his lips, Tim jumped up from his couch. Glancing at the restless figure, Jude only managed to take a big sigh. What has been decided after such a long meeting was straightforward, but it made Jude's head throbs. The rationale for the conclusion of the meeting was simple: 'Let's expose the location of Jude.' The copycat chased Jude, and Alvin Jones chased the copycat, so they said, if we release the location of Jude properly, we'll be able to put the two together in the same place. -It was a conventional method, but Tim strongly refuted it, calling it a "false logic." Where is the guarantee that Alvin Jones won't be able to find the copycat until the copycat comes to Jude, and if they gather together in t...

BBDW 42 [Black Butterfly] - Nevereverland

Prev Chap Next Chap Section 36 (UNEDITED) As the Chief expected, as soon as the next morning dawned, New York plunged back into fear. Alvin Jones's name was barely forgotten and the colour was completely faded, and the crime, which was "estimated" to be done by him was happening again. Although the police did not disclose the contents of the letter due to concerns about the possibility of a new copycat emerging and the citizens panicking, the media made it realistic that the terrible serial killer appeared again with the proofs in their hands. The best of all was the news, but other show programs began to make a lot of noise again under the name of Alvin Jones. Why did he come back, and what is he going to do in the future? People's attention has been focused on it. Given the circumstances, it was natural for the Chief to burst into a fit of rage at Jeffrey's insinuating remarks in the conference room. "-Ah yeah, why d...

BBDW 41 [Black Butterfly] - Nevereverland

Prev Chap Next Chap Section 35 (UNEDITED) Everyone was confused. The faces of the police officers who gathered in the middle of the night were quite grim and a little terrified at the same time, seeing that the vivid nightmare of the incident that rocked New York half a year ago is coming back. They’re wondering whether they’re going to have to look at those inconceivable field photos for a while, pondering that they probably can't go home early for a while, thinking why he's been quiet for a while and now he's doing it again in New York, and so on. "So ..." "Huh?" "What's the basis? Why do you believe Alvin Jones killed her?" Because he fell asleep inside Tim's car, Tim lightly narrowed his eyebrows when Jude said that he could not remember a single overview of the incident that Tim passionately explained. No matter how desperate he fights against sleepiness, he was not able to open his ...

BBDW 40 [Black Butterfly] - Nevereverland

Prev Chap Next Chap Section 34 (UNEDITED) The next morning, Jude was a little surprised by the people who showed up outside the hospital door. The mother and son stood where they visited him just yesterday. He was a little nervous wondering if they came to ask for the same favour again, but their faces were embarrassed and appeared a little bit sorry rather than anger and sorrow. "I'm so sorry, Detective. Yesterday, I was like..." "I've already said.... what? What are you talking about all of a sudden?" "I’ve got a call this morning. You haven't been feeling well anyway, and you've gotten worse since we made such a fuss. If you don't mind, may I apologize? The thoughts about Linda have indeed intensified lately, but I didn't mean to bother you." I’m not feeling too well? Who would say that? – Holding back the words that were about to run out of his mouth, Jude carefully took out the latt...
