"Hehe, it really brings back memories..." Sara self-mockingly said.

The streets in the city were filled with a putrid smell, the kind of stench that would only come from a corpse that had been rotting for at least a week.

These odors were starting to get unbearable for Sara, and not just for her, even the detective couldn't stand this eerie smell.

Contrary to what she had imagined, there were no malicious entities appearing on the streets. All that was present was endless emptiness and despair.

There was no longer day and night in the city... or rather, the sky no longer had things like the sun and the moon. If it weren't for changes in environmental visibility, Sara would probably not be able to tell the difference between night and day.

Just then, Sara gradually lost consciousness. Before she completely lost awareness, the figure she saw... was it the detective?

She wanted to say something, but her head hurt... all she could do was endure the pain slowly.

"Hehehe... you shouldn't exist in this era, someone burdened with an unfortunate fate."

Who was it... in her mind, a vague face kept appearing, it was the smiling face of a girl.

"Hey, Jeana." The girl happily laughed. "I really like daddy, really! Really like him."

Tears appeared in her smile, making her look helpless.

"No...!"

Sara abruptly opened her eyes, gasping for air, and vigorously shook her head. In an instant, the girl's image became vivid... making Sara feel like she had recalled something.

"It's impossible!"

Finally arriving on the third floor, Sara stood at the end of the west corridor with a worried expression on her face.

But...

She had already searched every corner of the hospital, there was no other place to look.

Where on earth was the man named Yuanhui? Wasn't he in the hospital?

"Come out already, stop hiding!"

Despite Sara shouting loudly, the only response she received was the groans of women.

Helplessly, she had to go back the way she came. It seemed that she could only hope that the detective would have some progress, maybe he would find some valuable clues.

Ding-aling-aling...!

At this moment, the sound of a ringing telephone came from inside the ward.

Sara turned around, her face showing a nervous expression - perhaps the call was from that person!

Or maybe there was something weird in this ward? Thinking that, Sara slowly picked up the receiver placed on the bedside table.

"Lilith?" A man's voice came from the other end of the line.

Sara's spirits, which had been somewhat downcast just now, suddenly regained vitality because it seemed that the person on the other end of the phone knew Lilith. To be able to dial the phone directly to that person's room, it must be right!

"No, I..."

"Don't waste words!"

The man's voice sounded angry, and he didn't intend to let Sara explain any further, he just continued speaking on his own.

"Lilith, you're just deceiving yourself!"

Aren't you going to apologize to me?

Or are you really not concerned about your foolish behavior?

Talking about 'saving everyone,' that worthless desire should really be stopped! Haven't I also thought about... saving everyone!!!

"Just a moment, listen to me."

"I'm tired of hearing your words, I'm not interested... how did you end up like this? Did I say something wrong to him?"

"You've mistaken me! I'm not Lilith!"

"Huh? You... are not... Lilith?"

"My name is Sara!"

"Oh... I'm sorry. I'm Yuanhui, I stayed in this room a few days ago, I thought you were that woman..."

"You're Yuanhui! Lilith's friend?"

"Yeah, do you know Lilith?"

"No! But I'm looking for her! Where is she now?"

"I can sense the anger deep inside you." Yuanhui sighed, "There is obvious hatred in your voice. 'Wanting to kill her'... is that what you're thinking? Although I don't know what she did, she's still my friend no matter what. If there's any misunderstanding between you, I hope you can forgive her, but it seems like it's too late for that now. Sara... it's a good name, can you do me a favor?""Help?"

"I have been locked up and now I must stop Lilith."

"Where are you locked up?"

"I'm not sure! It should be somewhere in this space... To be more specific, it's probably one level below you. Yes, at the end of the corridor! If you can let me out, I should be able to help you a lot... Please!"

The phone suddenly cut off, and when I dialed again, it showed "disconnected."

Although Heather had many questions in her mind, it seemed that she would have to wait until she met Leonard Wolf in person. Regardless, this was a huge discovery.

But what did he mean by "help" at the end?

This unclear statement stimulated Sara intensely, and her temples began to ache faintly.

On the next level, although there was a door at the end, it couldn't be opened.

It should be here. When I came here earlier...

Sara only noticed when she came here again after receiving the call, all the trash that was piled up like a mountain had disappeared!

Not only that, a metal door appeared on the wall at the end, as if deliberately placed there.

Did those malicious beings know that she was coming and tidied up the trash in advance?

It was absurd; such questions were meaningless. What happened today had completely exceeded the comprehension of an ordinary person. There was no need to be surprised or annoyed by such matters.

With her tranquil mood unchanged, Sara opened the metal door.

Accompanied by the screeching sound of the hinges, a yellow-colored passage appeared on the other side of the metal door.

The floor, walls, and ceiling were all stained with a rusty yellow color.

A row of incandescent lights were on one side of the wall, and the rusty color around them looked even more like bloodstains under the dim light.

The ceiling was low, as if she could reach out and touch it, giving Sara a suffocating sense of oppression.

"Oh my, is this another dead end?"

Although the passage continued deeper, a metal blind was blocking the way not far ahead.

Just as Sara stepped forward to see if she could open it, the blind immediately made a roaring sound and retracted into the ceiling.

As she continued forward, when she reached a right turn, a metal blind descended from above and blocked the way, forcing her to take the right fork.

Although this maze-like place had many forks, these automatic blinds selectively opened or closed, as if guiding Sara.

Not far ahead...

A giant, menacing figure with a spiked club slowly walked by.

Sara had seen this thing many times before. Although it was moving slowly now, once it attacked... Hmm, it would be difficult to escape!

Although she found it very strange, without any clues, Sara could only continue forward.

She entered a dim passage without incandescent lights, then passed through the door at the end.

On the other side of the door was a narrow space, like a stairwell, about two stories high, and the bloodstains on the walls became more dense.

There was nothing here except a ladder that was so worn out it could no longer be broken.

Sara began to climb up, but when she was a short distance away from the metal net floor of the upper level, she suddenly stopped.

Howling...!

That sound... appeared!!!

It was hanging on the inner side of the metal net, restless.

Although it might attack, Sara still had to go up.

She calmed her mood as usual, tightly gripping the shotgun with one hand and slowly aiming the muzzle upwards.

The line of sight from above gradually aligned with hers, but... a strange gaze unexpectedly shifted towards her at the wrong time.

As the distance to the malicious being closed, Sara seemed to smell the foul breath from it.

Although she was already nervous to the point of sweating... this time, she still didn't see any signs of the malicious being launching an attack. It just looked at her with a disgusting gaze, like a voyeur. Finally, when Sara reached the upper level, she cast a disdainful look at it under her angry gaze and turned around to leave.After leaving the stairwell-like space, although the place I was in still seemed to be inside the hospital, the surroundings were completely different from when I first arrived.

Blood red!!!

Under the illumination of the lights, the walls, floor, and ceiling that emerged from the darkness were all a very intense deep red.

The surface of the interior walls of this concrete building was all undulating in a bone-chilling and eerie wave-like pattern. It felt as if sulfuric acid was corroding its insides, as if it would crumble at the slightest touch.

Of course, there was something even more terrifying - the evil thoughts crawling on the ground.

Its mouth was sharp like a fierce beast, and its entire body resembled the scars left by burns, easily reminiscent of the demons wandering in hell.

Even if I were to attack it with a gun, all I would see would be a nauseating scene of blood and flesh, right? Sara decided to avoid unnecessary conflicts as much as possible and took a glance at the opponent lying on the ground, planning to go past it.

However…

The movement of the evil thought was astonishingly fast. It immediately grabbed Sara's ankle and forcefully pulled her down to the ground.

Helpless, Sara had no choice but to aim the shotgun directly at its head.

"Don't touch me!"

Boom!

The bullet smashed the evil thought's head into pieces. Along with a painful whimper, a stinky green liquid splattered everywhere, sticking to Sara's face and hair.

For a beautiful girl like her, this was an immense humiliation. Sara lost her previous calmness and became a bit unruly.

"You bastard!!!"
