Time slowly passes by, and I finally return home after a busy day of work.

"Sara, are you here?"

"..."

"Sara...are you sleeping? No no no, my precious daughter must still be playing games!"

"Dad, my teammate is busy, you handle your own things for now."

"Well...if your mother wasn't working far away, would you still dare to play like this?"

"Oh no, look, I died again...it's all your fault, Dad! Look, now I have to start from the beginning."

"Oh, the one who messed up should be me, and you're blaming me?"

I feel so happy, this state makes me somewhat addicted...indeed, sometimes our father-daughter relationship feels more like being friends.

I also think, it would be so good if my daughter could always be with me until I pass away...

...

After who knows how long, Sara, who was squatting on the ground, stands up unsteadily.

When she was wandering around the building just now, she suddenly felt a strong dizziness, and her head throbbed in unbearable pain as if it had been split open by a sharp tool.

"Don't come back...please, don't come back..."

"Dad?!"

In an instant, as her consciousness gradually detached from her body, this voice suddenly emerged.

It sounded like her father's voice, but due to its abstract content, she couldn't grasp its true meaning.

In Sara's memory, her father had never said this before.

But it was indeed her father's voice...it sounded as if he was desperately trying to convey something from a very far away place.

Feeling restless, Sara hurriedly walked forward.

The situation in the building was changing.

Like time had twisted, it suddenly skipped hundreds of years, and the building turned into ruins.

The brown walls and ceilings were covered with mold and dust. The floor, which was under renovation, was now paved with tiles but had started to bulge, crack, and peel due to the excessively humid air.

Another world...

The scene happening before her eyes could only make her think of these words, just like the scenes in the shopping center and subway.

Who on earth is it that my father wants to tell me not to come back...?

Sara bit her lip tightly, as if she forcibly held back the answer that was about to blurt out.

In this already changed building, there were still ugly monsters lurking.

Lying deep in the corridor was a fat monster with a bloated body and pale skin.

Its head was small, making one doubt the capacity of its brain...

Due to its obesity, its facial features were sunk into the flesh, making it impossible to distinguish. Its entire body was covered with skin that seemed to have already decayed, making this giant look like a massive malignant tumor.

"Move aside!" Sara shouted loudly.

The fat monster didn't show any signs of attacking, it just lazily rolled over on the ground. However, its huge body blocked the entire corridor, obstructing the passage of others.

"If you don't move aside, I'll shoot!"

Although Sara drew her gun and threatened, she had no intention of actually shooting. She wanted to save these precious bullets for encounters with violent enemies.

Seeing that her intimidation had no actual effect, Sara reluctantly fired the gun.

To ensure that one bullet would end the creature's life, she carefully aimed at the monster's head.

Bang! Along with the roar of the gun, the monster also let out a roar.

It wasn't a scream, but an angry roar.

The previously obedient monster suddenly rushed towards Sara, moving slowly with its clumsy body and shaking its decaying flesh, approaching aggressively.

However, Sara was frightened by its overwhelming force, so she turned and started running.

No, I can't defeat it with just the remaining bullets.

I don't want to be crushed by it! Sara thought, her feet flying forward as if greased.

Just thinking about touching the decaying flesh that emitted a foul smell and oozed pus and blood from its ruptured skin would give anyone goosebumps.

If touched, it might even infect incurable skin diseases.During her desperate escape, Sara suddenly felt a strange sensation coming from the soles of her feet. The floor was bending unnaturally, and she was thrown forward and slammed heavily onto the debris-covered floor of the hallway. The impact was so strong that she couldn't move her body temporarily. The monster was still closely pursuing her, and it seemed like she was about to be crushed to death!

"No!"

Roar!

Just as Sara shouted, the monster roared as well. This time, it was a scream, and the broken ground collapsed, causing the monster to fall down.

Finally able to move, Sara looked into the hole on the ground and saw the monster lying down in the shape of a "大" character on the floor below, seemingly unconscious.

The sudden changes in the building made Sara feel increasingly confused. It seemed like she couldn't find an exit to the outside world, so she could only wander around, trying to find useful clues in the places she could enter. In this way, she accidentally came to a room that looked like a long-abandoned hospital reception or possibly a counseling room.

There was... a piece of paper on the dusty bench.

"Found that girl, bring her here?"

It looked like a piece of paper, but when she flipped it over, it turned out to be a photograph! The person in the photo was Sara herself, and it looked like it was taken secretly.

"What is this?"

The man who identified himself as a detective suddenly appeared in Sara's mind, and her mood gradually calmed down.

Was it that guy's doing? It must be that guy... There's movement!

From deep inside, someone was there. Could it be that perverted man following her?

Because he was filled with desires, he took that photo...

Sara opened the door deep in the hallway and peered inside quietly. The person in the counseling room was not a detective, but a young man wearing glasses. It seemed like he wasn't... No, even so, she couldn't let her guard down.

"Who are you?"

Sara walked into the room and pointed her gun at the man.

The man who was laying tarot cards on the large desk lifted his head, gave a faint smile, then waved his hand as a greeting.

"What an unexpected encounter. Don't you plan to introduce yourself?"

"Hmph, are you a doctor?"

"Although I am a doctor, but... alright, let's just say that my current occupation is treating humans."

"Don't change the subject! Is this yours?"

Sara handed the photo of her being secretly taken to the man, who candidly nodded.

"Yes, it's mine. But I got it from a meddlesome friend and I discarded it. Because I don't plan on killing you, Sara."

"Do you know me?"

"Yes, but don't worry! Because he is your friend."

"I can't be sure about that yet. Is the friend who gave you this photo a detective?"

"Heh... That guy has nothing to do with me."

"Then, what about the woman named Lilith?"

"Don't mention that damn woman in front of me!!!" The man, who had just acted friendly, angrily stood up and said in a distraught manner, "That mentally unstable woman... Ah, excuse me, no matter what, she is your mother!"

"What do you mean?" Sara furrowed her brow tightly.

Her father had once said that her mother, who had passed away early, was an intelligent and talented woman.

So, does that mean...

"You don't remember anymore." The man slowly approached Sara. "It seems like my good buddy didn't tell you either... Tsk tsk tsk, he concealed the truth to make you obedient and even used many wicked methods."

"I won't allow you to insult my father!" Sara released the safety of her gun.

The man took off his hat, revealing his silver hair, and shrugged his shoulders. "That's not good, calm down!"

"Do you know what happened to my father?"

"Of course, everything."

"Then tell me, what is happening now? What are those monsters?"

"Do you like them? I hope you can enjoy yourself to the fullest. It'll only get more interesting from here on.""Sure enough... that woman is just like him! Both of your minds are not normal!"

Sara pointed her gun at Vincent while slowly stepping back towards the door.

"Wait, I haven't finished speaking yet," the silver-haired man shouted.

Sara chose to ignore him. She didn't want to stay in the same room with this strange man, or even breathe the same air as him.

In any case, she was angry!

The person who requested to find Sara, for some reason, seemed to have found her first. This made the perverted man's job meaningless.

Although he called the client to ask about their true intentions and any further instructions, he couldn't reach them.

But... what is going on exactly?

Although she had considered going home to have a drink and a good sleep, he changed his mind halfway and drove the car back again.

The man laughed and said to himself, "Those who fail to act lack courage."

"Hmph, something strange is happening around that little girl. Don't be afraid, go help her, or else you won't have peace of mind in the future. Do something, she is your current assignment. If she dies, you won't get any reward."

After the conversation, the detective quickly drove towards the apartment where Sara lived.

After a long search, Sara finally reached the entrance of the building.

Pushing the door open and stepping outside, the night wind with its fresh air washed over Heather's respiratory organs, instantly erasing the musty smell that had been lingering in her body.

"Great, my home is still the same as usual."

Looking at the lights on the buildings on both sides of the street, Sara took a long breath and quickly ran towards the apartment.
