Resources and study tips to get you in cyber forensics

Master post • Part1 • part2

let's get you prepped to be a cyber sleuth without spending any cash. Here’s the ultimate tips and resources.

Ps: you can't become one while doing these pointers but you can experience the vibe so you can finally find your career interest

### 1. **Digital Scavenger Hunts**

- **CTF Challenges (Capture The Flag)**: Dive into platforms like [CTFtime](https://ctftime.org/) where you can participate in cyber security challenges. It's like playing *Among Us* but with hackers—find the imposter in the code!

- **Hunt A Killer (Digitally)**: Create your own digital crime scenes. Ask friends to send you files (like images, PDFs) with hidden clues. Your job? Find the Easter eggs and solve the case.

### 2. **YouTube University**

- **Cyber Sleuth Tutorials**: Channels like *HackerSploit* and *The Cyber Mentor* have playlists covering digital forensics, cybersecurity, and more. Binge-watch them like your fave Netflix series, but here you're learning skills to catch bad guys.

- **Live Streams & Q&A**: Jump into live streams on platforms like Twitch where cybersecurity experts solve cases in real-time. Ask questions, get answers, and interact with the pros.

### 3. **Public Libraries & eBook Treasure Hunts**

- **Library eBooks**: Most libraries have eBooks or online resources on digital forensics. Check out titles like *"Hacking Exposed"* or *"Digital Forensics for Dummies"*. You might have to dig through the catalog, but think of it as your first case.

- **LinkedIn Learning via Library**: Some libraries offer free access to LinkedIn Learning. If you can snag that, you've got a goldmine of courses on cybersecurity and forensics.

### 4. **Virtual Study Groups**

- **Discord Servers**: Join cybersecurity and hacking communities on Discord. They often have study groups, challenges, and mentors ready to help out. It's like joining a digital Hogwarts for hackers.

- **Reddit Threads**: Subreddits like r/cybersecurity and r/hacking are packed with resources, advice, and study buddies. Post your questions, and you’ll get a whole thread of answers.

### 5. **DIY Labs at Home**

- **Build Your Own Lab**: Got an old PC or laptop? Turn it into a practice lab. Install virtual machines (VMware, VirtualBox) and play around with different operating systems and security tools. It’s like Minecraft but for hacking.

- **Log Your Own Activity**: Turn on logging on your own devices and then try to trace your own steps later. You’re basically spying on yourself—no NSA required.

Can you give more tips on how to play your Cyber-Controller deck?

Magic the Gathering tip: sure!

First of all, here's the video where I go over the deck:

youtube

My biggest tip for playing this deck is to make use of setup turns. In the early game, you want to play the Cyber-Controller for small amounts, like X equals 2-3, just to get a few Cybermen to begin feeding cards like Blinkmoth Urn and Karn, Legacy Reforged, and get counters on Elementalist's Palette if you have it. I've cast him for X equals 1 on multiple occasions. Don't be discouraged if you hit few or no creatures in these early casts, you can always try again. Once you get the ball rolling on mana production and Cyber-Controller cast consistency, you want to cast him for X equals 5-6 to begin assembling your Cyberman army, and once you have a decent number of them, don't be afraid to do nothing on your turn but cast him for as much mana as you can. If you wiff or he gets countered, you still have Cybermen from the previous turns to keep you safe. If he resolves for a huge amount, I've cast him for X equals 30 before, you can often assemble a boardstate that is extremely hard to attack into and can win you the game quickly.

Casting the Cyber-Controller without a way to put him back into your hand can be risky sometimes. If he gets stuck on the field, you can't cast him again. You could always just block with him to put him back into the command zone, but this isn't ideal because commander tax exists. Usually you want something like Dour Port-Mage or Drafna, Founder of Lat-Nam in play on turn 3-4, or have a solid suite of bounce spells in hand, and then you start casting the Cyber-Controller. If you have Trusted Advisor, you want to play on the same turn you cast the Cyber-Controller so you aren't forced to bounce something else.

The deck is really about knowing how to manage your resources so once you go all-in, you won't be blown away by someone countering the Cyber-Controller. Don't forget that attacking is also a game action, so if you dump all your mana into a Cyber-Controller that gets countered, just swing all at that opponent if you can. That'll teach em.

You don't want to keep a hand that doesn't have any sort of mana dork or rock, you really want one or preferably two cause even the setup of the deck can be mana hungry. Sonic Screwdriver is one of the sneaky best cards, being able to untap a Basalt Monolith or Elementalist's Palette to get double duty out of it can really speed things up. And of course there's the Basalt Monolith combos, if you have something like Forensic Gadgeteer or Forsaken Monument you can make infinite mana with it to cast the Cyber-Controller for X equals a billion and mill everyone out.

🌎But You Will Always Be Searching For An Answer

Pairing: Shang Tsung/Kuai Liang Length: 4855 Words Rating: Mature Warnings: Cyberpunk AU, Cyber Noir, Forensic Pathologist!Kuai Liang, Detective!Shang Tsung, Crime Scenes, Corpses, Minor Character Death, Past Torture, Trauma, Divorce, There’s a BiHanzo divorce arc going on in the background lol, Past Abduction, Found Footage

Meanwhile In Another Universe Masterlist

Notes: I wrote this a couple of months ago, again never quite got around to posting it U_U;; Title is from Digital World by Amaranthe.

The rain was pounding down as Kuai Liang pulled up to the crime scene. He was thankful that the team had already set up a forcefield, to protect the scene from disruption and further contamination. He parked his motorbike up, hopping off and hitting a button on his helmet. Slowly, it morphed and turned into a collar around his throat instead.

He didn’t waste too much time, grabbing his kit and rushing towards the forcefield. He was relieved when it let him in without much resistance. He’d been to one too many crime scenes where they’d forgotten to give him clearance.

“Kuai Liang,” a voice called to him, and Kuai walked over to meet Hanzo half way. “Thank you for coming, I know you’re meant to still be on sick leave, but-”

“Don’t worry about it,” Kuai assured him, trying to give him as big a smile as he could. “I was going stir crazy at home, you’ve done me a favour.” He briefly glanced over his shoulder to where he’d just been. “It’s more Bi-Han you’re probably going to have to convince.”

Hanzo groaned and mumbled, “like I need anything else to fight with him about.” Kuai looked back to him, biting his lip.

“Is he still being awkward about… you know what.” Why was it that Kuai Liang struggled to say the word divorce? Even though Hanzo was his soon to be ex-brother-in-law, when Bi-Han had taken custody of Kuai after Father’s death, Hanzo had become like a second father to him. The fact the pair were now separating felt more like his parents splitting up than his brother and brother-in-law.

“Awkward is not in it. But, it would be unfair of me to put that burden on you.” Hanzo reached a hand forward and placed it on Kuai’s shoulder. “Kuai Liang, you know, no matter what happens with me and Bi-Han, I will always be here for you. Even when everything is over, you will always have a place in my life.”

“Thank you.” He was worried that keeping a close bond with Hanzo would anger Bi-Han. Given that Hanzo was his boss however, he was sure he could use that as an excuse to stay close. He cleared his throat slightly, remembering why they were here in this secluded area of town. “Um, why did you call me out, anyway?”

“Ah, of course.” Hanzo moved over, sliding his hand down slightly to place it on Kuai’s back, using it to guide him. “A body was discovered behind the bus stop, and after a positive identification, Liu Kang wishes for only the best of the best to be on the case. Hence why I’ve had to call you to conduct an examination.”

“They have an identification already?” Kuai questioned. That seemed awfully fast. Combined with Liu Kang wanting all hands on deck for the case, it could only be someone of an extremely high profile.

“A quick DNA scan has flagged him as Prince Xandras of Outworld, nephew of Queen Sindel.” That explained it. Given that relations between Earthrealm and Outworld had been tense lately, it made sense that Liu Kang would throw everything at this. “Outworld are sending a detective of their own to aid the investigation, your brother has gone to collect him now.”

“I see.” He tried to put aside his unease that Bi-Han would flip his lid once he arrived and saw Kuai working. But he supposed Bi-Han would have to take that up with Liu Kang and Hanzo instead, since they both seemed to consider him their best forensic scientist. “Anything I should know going into it?”

“He has multiple stab wounds, so we have an idea how he died. We don’t know how long he’s been here.” They reached a small ditch just behind the bus stop where Kuai could see a body lying lifelessly. “Photographs have been collected, and some of my officers have already begun speaking to the young men who found the body.”

Kuai nodded, reaching into his pocket to put on his gloves, before pressing the button on his collar, once again causing it to morph, although rather than turning back into a helmet, it now became a mask that hugged from his jaw to just below his eyes.

Satisfied, he carefully made his way down the ditch's slope. The body wasn’t in the easiest place to examine it, and he’d get a better idea of everything once he’d got it back to the lab. For now however, seeing how the body was in the ditch and the state of the surrounding area would help give him an idea of how it got here. He’d also probably be able to at least confirm if the stab wounds were indeed how the man died, or if there was something more going on.

Kuai looked at the sides of the ditch, noticing where he’d left a few scuff marks where he’d slid down. When he looked either side of where the body was, there were none. There didn’t seem to be any further down either.

“Hm, well it looks like the body was placed here,” Kuai informed Hanzo, taking a few steps to get closer. “Rather carefully actually, there is no disturbance to the surrounding area, so he wasn’t pushed down. It’s almost like someone placed him here with a crane or something.”

Hanzo opened his mouth to speak, only to be cut off by a distant shout. Even from afar, Kuai recognised his brother’s voice anywhere. Great, shit’s about to go downhill. As he expected Bi-Han appeared at the top of the ditch, followed by a man in a brown trench coat that Kuai did not recognise. He could only assume that he was Outworld’s detective.

As soon as Bi-Han’s eyes landed on Kuai Liang, his eyes narrowed and he snarled at Hanzo “what is he doing here?”

“Liu Kang wants the best of the best on this case,” Hanzo calmly replied, even as Bi-Han’s hands clenched into fists. “And we both know Kuai Liang is the best forensic scientist we have.”

“That doesn’t matter, he’s meant to be recovering at home,” Bi-Han argued, waving his hand around wildly. Kuai wanted to speak up that he was fine, at least physically. It was the mental wounds that still needed to heal. But he didn’t think that was going to happen by shutting himself away from the world. “What the fuck were you thinking?”

“Bi-Han, I’m fine,” Kuai called up, trying to not flinch when Bi-Han shot that venomous glare towards him. “Can we just focus on the case for now and talk about this later?”

Bi-Han hesitated, but after a while huffed in annoyance. This wasn’t the last of it, Kuai Liang knew that well enough, but at least it was over for now.

Outworld’s Detective coughed, loudly and deliberately, clearly hinting that he had not yet been brought up to speed. Kuai grimaced slightly, glad his mouth was covered by his mask. Having a domestic argument in the middle of a crime scene was not exactly a good example of Earthrealm’s police forces professionalism.

“Regardless,” Bi-Han began, shifting on the spot, “gentlemen, this is Detective Shang Tsung of Outworld’s police force. Detective, this is Constable Hanzo Hasashi and Doctor Song Kuai Liang.”

Shang Tsung’s eyes landed immediately on Kuai Liang, and his head tilted. “I take it you are conducting the forensic examination?”

“Correct.” Kuai Liang looked back down at the body, he’d barely been able to examine it yet.

“May I join you down there?” Shang Tsung asked again.

“Um, of course?” Kuai found it strange he even felt the need to ask, usually Detectives didn’t give a shit. “Just, put some gloves and a mask on.”

“Obviously.” Shang Tsung’s hands were in his pockets, pulling out a pair of gloves and a medical grade mask. It wouldn’t be as good as Kuai’s but should be enough to protect him from any potential disease.

Kuai turned his attention back to the body, getting closer as he heard the detective curse as he tried to get down the bank. When Kuai glanced over, he was brushing himself down. Kuai smirked, once more glad it was hidden from view before crouching down to get a closer look at the body. Shang Tsung walked over, looking at the corpse and squinting at it.

“It really is Xandras then. I’d recognise that smug face anywhere,” he grumbled bitterly, and Kuai bit his tongue to stop himself from scolding Shang Tsung for talking so disparagingly about the dead.

“Are you familiar with him then?” It might help establish more about the victim.

“Vaguely. Being the Queen’s favoured detective I tend to be invited to a lot of functions,” he explained, joining Kuai Liang’s side but not getting down to his level. “He barely talked to anyone outside of noble blood. I’m not surprised someone killed him.”

Kuai hummed at that, not entirely sure what to say. He was instead looking at where Xandras clothes were torn revealing the stab wounds underneath. The completely blood free clothes and stab wounds.

“He has multiple stab wounds, but there’s absolutely no blood.” Kuai carefully reached a hand forward, gently pressing around the wounds and counting them. “And given there’s an estimate of around 20 wounds, some near pretty major organs and arteries, there should be a lot of blood.”

“So what does that mean?” Shang Tsung questioned, finally getting down low to get a better look at what Kuai was talking about. “Someone cleaned up his body before dumping it?”

“Maybe, but even then, I’d expect to still see some blood.” Kuai carefully placed a finger at one of the wounds. Even with the gloves on, he could tell it was dry as a desert. There was no blood at all. “It’s… almost like his body was drained of blood before he was stabbed.”

Kuai glanced over the body again, before his eyes trained on a strange mark on Xandras neck, mostly covered by his clothes. Reaching a hand up, he pulled the clothing down just enough to look what was there. It was a circular bruise with a puncture wound in the centre.

“Interesting,” Shang Tsung whispered, leaning against Kuai’s shoulder slightly to get a better look at the wound. “But I do not understand the motive.”

“The blackmarket for blood is surprisingly lucrative.” It had many uses, illegal surgeries, illegal blood transfusions, even some illicit substances were made with blood. Even then however, it was rare for a victim to be completely drained. “It’s unusual that they’d take every last drop, but maybe with his higher standing they thought having it all would turn a higher profit.”

“I meant I do not understand the motive of stabbing him after they’d taken the blood,” Shang Tsung clarified, although it sounded like he was taking Kuai’s theory into consideration. “What was the point? Surely the extreme blood loss would have killed him.”

“It would,” Kuai confirmed, looking back at the stab wounds. “Either the stabbing was a weak attempt at causing law enforcement confusion or they were trying to make sure other criminals couldn’t harvest his organs.” Kuai sighed as he thought of a flaw in that. “But if they were that concerned about that, why wouldn’t they take them for themselves?”

“Anything else you can tell from the body?” Shang Tsung asked, and Kuai hadn’t really realised how close he was until he felt his warm breath against his cheek. “A time of death, maybe?”

“It’s hard to tell but I’d guess it’s been at least 24 hours.” Kuai sat up straighter and looked towards where the bus stop was. “This isn’t the most used bus stop in the city, but it’s used enough that someone should have noticed sooner, meaning the body has likely only been at this location for an hour or two tops.” Kuai pointed at the banks of the ditch. “And like I mentioned earlier, it seems the body was dumped here, but how they did it without disturbing anything I have no idea.”

Shang Tsung hummed, having followed Kuai’s gaze the entire time. He didn’t say anything more.

“I will likely know more when I am able to perform an autopsy.” Kuai finally stood up, deciding he’d seen enough for now. Shang Tsung followed him. “Maybe a search of the surrounding area may provide more clues.”

“Then we should do that.” The use of the word we did make Kuai pause a bit, but he supposed it was only natural the Detective would want to look around too.

Kuai went to try and climb the walls of the ditch again, his foot slipping slightly. He saw both Bi-Han and Hanzo rush forward to grab him and pull him back up. Shang Tsung managed to follow unaided, although raised an eyebrow at how Bi-Han and Hanzo kept their hands on Kuai.

“Thank you,” Kuai quietly said, hating how his tone gave away his embarrassment. He managed to wiggle out of their grips, reaching his hand to the button on his mask, letting it settle around his throat as a collar again. “Myself and Detective Shang are going to do a quick inspection of the surrounding area, see if there’s anything the officers missed.”

“You absolutely are not doing that,” Bi-Han hissed, hand darting forward for Kuai’s bicep. “You are going home to rest, like you shouldhave been doing this entire evening.”

“Bi-Han, I’m fine,” Kuai tried to argue, but winced slightly when it made his brother’s grip tighter.

“If he says he’s fine, then he’s fine,” Hanzo cut in, trying to yank Bi-Han’s hand off Kuai’s arm. “You need to stop treating him like he’s still a child.”

“You would say that given it’s you who brought him he’s here.” Bi-Han glared at Hanzo again. And Kuai felt his skin crawl. Despite the two men doing their best to raise Kuai, they always did argue a lot, and witnessing it always took him back to the worst nights. The ones where he could hear their screaming matches through the thin walls of the apartment.

He loved them both and knew they cared for him and did their best, but sometimes he wondered if it would have been better for him to live with Tomas instead.

Not that Bi-Han would have ever let Tomas have custody of him.

“Once again, he is our best forensic scientist, and the best was requested for this case.” Hanzo pulled on Bi-Han’s arm hard and finally managed to pry it off of Kuai. “And him investigating the surrounding area is basic protocol.”

“You know what else is protocol? Not fucking calling in someone who’s on medical leave,” Bi-Han snapped, and how Hanzo didn’t flinch Kuai would never know.

“He’s been cleared for work and his leave ends in a week anyway, there is no reason for him to not come back early.” This was absolutely the wrong thing for Hanzo to say if the way Bi-Han lunged forward was anything to go by. Kuai darted forward to grab him before he could do anything violent.

“Just because he’s physically fit doesn’t mean he is mentally.” Bi-Han pointed his finger directly in Hanzo’s face. “And let’s not forget whose fault it was he ended up needing medical leave in the first place.”

Hanzo’s face dropped and Kuai himself let go of Bi-Han in shock, swiftly turning away. He didn’t blame Hanzo for what happened to him. It wasn’t his fault. The fact Bi-Han was throwing that in Hanzo’s face made Kuai feel sick. Did he genuinely believe that, or was it just something said in anger to hurt Hanzo?

“Kuai Liang,” Bi-Han said softly, clearly understanding he’d gone too far. Kuai still didn’t turn to look at him.

“We need to talk,” Hanzo growled and even without looking Kuai knew it was directed at Bi-Han. “Now.”

Bi-Han huffed, but given the footsteps, it seemed he was going with Hanzo.

“Do what you need to in the area, Kuai Liang,” was the last thing Hanzo said, before Kuai looked back to see the two walking off.

“Do I want to ask what in Argus' name all that was about?” Shang Tsung questioned, and honestly Kuai had been so caught up in everything, he’d almost forgotten he was there.

“Um, a terrible mix between a divorce and a protective elder brother,” Kuai summarised. He looked over to where his brother and ex-brother-in-law were standing. They’d clearly gotten back into a heated argument if their stances were anything to go by. At least I can’t hear them anymore.

“Ah, that explains a lot.” Shang Tsung lent in close to him. “Although I do have to agree with your brother, if you are on medical leave you shouldn’t be here.”

Kuai held his breath so as not to give an annoyed sigh. He’d had to listen to Bi-Han insisting on him staying at home for months now, he was getting kind of tired of being told what he could and couldn’t do.

“The doctor has cleared me,” Kuai gently argued, tearing his gaze from the arguing ex-couple. “It was Bi-Han who insisted on me having an extra week, and if I take it, he’s just going to keep insisting on adding on more.” He really didn’t want to talk about this anymore. He just wanted to get on and do his job. “We should carry out our inspection.”

He didn’t really give Shang Tsung a chance to argue as he spun around and began to walk in the opposite direction of where his brother and Hanzo were. As worked up as he was, he still wanted to do his best on the case. He owed the victim that much. As he strolled along the edge of the bank, Shang Tsung caught up with him, only slowing down when he was walking in tandem.

“I get the feeling your medical leave is a touchy subject,” Shang Tsung enquired and once more Kuai resisted the urge to respond with a cutting remark.

“It is,” he replied shortly, hoping maybe Shang Tsung would get the message to drop the damn subject.

And the thing was, Shang Tsung didn’t ask anything more. Instead he took to just staring at Kuai Liang, looking like he was trying to figure everything out by himself with what little info he had. Kuai’s stomach twisted slightly as he came to a realisation.

“If I don’t tell you, are you going to go around and ask our colleagues about it?” And god, Kuai knew those colleagues would talk. Earthrealm’s Police Force was a surprisingly gossipy bunch of people, and worse, the majority wouldn’t have the full story. Kuai himself had been asked about details that didn’t happen or happened differently, and he was getting tired of correcting people or telling them to mind their own damned business.

Shang Tsung meanwhile gasped in mock offence, holding his hand to his chest. “I am horrified to know I’ve made such a bad first impression on you.” A small smirk slowly graced his features. “But, I suppose, if people just so happen to start talking to me, it would be rude for me to reject the conversation, wouldn’t it?”

Kuai couldn’t roll his eyes hard enough.

“Of course,” he bitterly whispered, turning his attention to where he was going. Regardless of what they talked about, he still wanted to keep an eye out for anything that was out of place. “A few months back, I was taken hostage by a criminal gang. I was rescued, obviously, but not before they did some serious damage.”

Am I underselling that a little? The Doctors had stated it was a miracle I was even alive.

“And, I assume as your brother is blaming his ex-husband for this series of events, the constable was the one they were targeting?”

“Bi-Han and Hanzo basically raised me. They never had children, but I was the closest Hanzo had, so…” He didn’t like thinking like that though. Hanzo wasn’t to blame for what happened to Kuai. They just saw Kuai as a weakness they could exploit. “Regardless, does that at least sate some of your curiosity?”

“I suppose it does,” Shang Tsung dramatically sighed. “At least for now.”

Kuai was glad that his contact with Shang Tsung would be short-lived after this. They’d probably only interact to go over what was discovered in the autopsy, and after that Kuai wouldn’t have to deal with him anymore. Let him be Bi-Han’s problem. Although knowing that Bi-Han would give a heavily biassed view on everything that happened did worry him a little.

They were approaching the edge of the forcefield, it was frustrating how small an area this seemed to cover, but he supposed they wanted a more concentrated crime scene. So far nothing had stuck out to him, and he just hoped Shang Tsung hadn’t distracted him from some sort of major discovery.

Then, as he glanced down towards the ditch, he saw a red glint in the mud.

He stopped in his tracks, and to his surprise Shang Tsung stopped as well. The way he was trying to peer over Kuai relayed he hadn’t seen what Kuai had.

“What are you looking at?” He enquired.

“I don’t know yet.” Kuai carefully made his way down the bank, looking at the ground. Now closer, he could see what appeared to be a red light, shining between the grass.

Odd.

He carefully crouched down, brushing away the grass to find what looked like an old fashioned film camera. Digital, although extremely primitive, likely from the early 2000’s. No doubt a collectors item, if he remembered right, especially if the red light meant it was working.

He picked it up and climbed back up out of the ditch. Shang Tsung did a double take at what was in his hands.

“Is that a camera?” He questioned, looking strangely disgusted by it. “I did not think anyone still used those things.”

“Some hardcore enthusiasts still use them. I have a friend who knows a lot about it. He loves the history of film, so he collects things like this.” Kuai looked over the camera. It was in pretty good condition for something that had been lying abandoned in a ditch. “I think the red light means it’s recording. I’m honestly impressed it’s still got battery, depending on how long it’s been down there.”

Johnny had shown him enough of his collection that Kuai had some idea of how to use it. He found a button that looked like it would stop the recording. He pressed it, and the light went out almost immediately. A small screen displayed a few options, and even though Kuai wasn’t that confident in his abilities he still managed to find what looked like the camera’s contents.

There were several recordings, the latest was over 5 hours long. That did seem like an oddly long battery life for one of these things. Maybe I should ask Johnny about it, he’ll be able to give more insight. Still, there was no way he was watching a 5 hour long video that could possibly just be a ditch. It was worth going over once they were back at base, it might have caught the dumping of the body.

The other thumbnails looked somewhat mundane. Just people and places that Kuai Liang didn’t recognise. There was only one that really stood out, apparently an hour long and with the thumbnail of what looked like bloody cloth. It might reveal what happened to Xandras.

He clicked it, and on the small screen it began to play. The image shook a bit, and the sound of a group of men laughing loudly came through the speakers.

“Haha, he’s a lot of fuckin’ fun,” a rough voice came through, and Kuai felt his skin crawl because for some reason it was familiar to him. In the background, he could hear what sounded like someone crying. “Kinda hoping they won’t come through for him.”

“Even if they do, who said we have to give him back.” Someone picked up the camera, but didn’t actually point at anyone. “You’ll be happy staying with us, won’t you?”

“P-Please…” Kuai Liang’s head went light at the new voice, the world spinning around him and bile gathering in the back of his throat.. “Please d-don’t…”

He knew that voice.

It was his own.

Whoever had the camera finally pointed it at a figure, and Kuai realised quickly it was himself. He was in a tank top and shorts, revealing many bruises. A blindfold covered his eyes, he remembered they kept it on him the entire time. It was likely the reason he never realised they were recording their crimes. Given he had a large gash down the one side of his face, he realised this had to be sometime after the 2nd day of his captivity.

A hand reached for the stop button, shutting off the video. Kuai looked up towards Shang Tsung. To Kuai’s surprise, the look wasn’t one of pity, like he’d feared, but one of quiet contemplation.

“So,” Shang Tsung hummed, slowly pushing Kuai’s hands to stop him from holding up the camera. “It would seem this case is linked with your recent misfortune.”

“Seems so.” He didn’t really know what else to say. Bi-Han had told him they’d caught all the culprits, but now that he thought about it, he never asked his brother for evidence of that. Why would he? Because his brother wouldn’t lie about something like that. “All these recordings will have to be examined. And-” He took a deep breath. “And I should probably take myself off the case.”

Shang Tsung did a double take, raising an eyebrow and indignantly asking “why?”

“If this case really is related to mine, then it is a conflict of interest for me to be involved.” He didn’t know why he felt so defeated by that. He’d hoped to finally get on with life after what happened.

“Really? You forgo medical leave to take on this case, but this is the line where you stop?” Shang Tsung questioned, his voice sounding oddly annoyed for some reason. “You do not want to figure out how these two things are connected?”

“Well, yes but-” Kuai paused and really stared at Shang Tsung. This didn’t add up, why was he suddenly trying to convince him to continue investigating? “Didn’t you say I shouldn’t be on this case because of the medical leave?”

“I didn’t say that, I merely voiced that your brother is technically correct.” Oh fuck off. That was such a twist of what he actually said it was almost laughable. “But given you are already throwing protocol to the wind, I find it odd that you would start adhering to it now.”

“Wait.” Kuai closed his eyes and shook his head trying to make sense of what he was hearing. “Why is this such a problem for you? Do you want me on the case?”

“Quite simply, yes, I do.” Shang Tsung smirked at him. “Because frankly, you are the first sign of intelligent life I have encountered since I arrived here, and I’d really rather work with someone who is my intellectual equal.”

Kuai didn’t have an answer to that. It was flattering, in a strange way, although he wasn’t sure he agreed with the implication that everyone else was stupid. Granted Bi-Han and Hanzo bickering probably had not given off the best first impression.

“So, with that in mind.” Shang Tsung reached a hand forward and gently patted Kuai’s cheek. “Are you going to give in, or are you going to figure out how these things interconnect?”

Kuai looked down at the camera. He knew that while Bi-Han would argue against it, Hanzo would overlook protocol if this was something Kuai really wanted to do. And, weirdly, it was what he wanted. Maybe it was Shang Tsung’s words getting into his head, or the sense of control the idea brought him, getting his life back into his hands, and empowering him to find his own justice.

Kuai finally nodded, one single but firm movement of his head, confident in what he wanted to do.

“Then we should get this to someone who can analyse the files, and while I wait for them to get the body to my lab, I’ll see what my friend can tell me about these sorts of cameras.” After he’d finished, Shang Tsung gave him an odd smile, one that could only be described as if he’d just won some sort of game.

“I will take your lead,” he cheerfully said, as they began to walk back towards where Hanzo and Bi-Han were clearly still deep in their argument. “I have no doubt we will make an unstoppable team.”

Kuai tried not snort at that. Still, he felt a fire ignited within him now, one that it would take the Elder Gods themselves to extinguish.

He would solve this case, he would get his answers, and he would find himself reborn from the ashes.
