CBS once made a hit science fiction series with a somewhat prophetic bent called "Person of Interest," known to fans as "POI."

Besides its two immensely charismatic middle-aged male leads, the show also had several female supporting characters with their own distinctive appeal. One of them, the ruthless government agent Sameen Shaw, was particularly well written and deeply loved by fans.

In the show, an innate personality disorder not only made Sameen Shaw ruthless toward her enemies but also made it difficult for her to empathize with ordinary people in everyday life. Before meeting the main cast, she had always been a cold-blooded killer.

But she was actually cold on the outside and warm on the inside, and her cool exterior, coupled with her endearingly goofy foodie persona, won her considerable popularity right from her debut.

Later, at fans' urging, the writers of "POI" paired her with another female character, "Root," making them the most popular supporting characters apart from the two male leads.

The stark contrast between Sameen Shaw's characterization and the actress's delicate mixed-race features, her favorite pastimes of eating and gunning people down, and her forceful, brutal, hammer-like approach to things earned her the fan nickname "Xiao Dahammer."

This was not the first time Nick had seen a "familiar" face in this world; he had previously encountered an older version of "Ripley" again in a movie instance.

But when he saw that the female ghost looked exactly like "Xiao Dahammer," a sense of not knowing whether to laugh or cry still quickly diluted his earlier fear.

"I don't have time to take you home. Please get out." Nick still had not figured out why she had come after him despite his having avoided that haunted highway, but he was still trying hard to save himself.
