Revenge After Death

I regained my senses and walked over.

After going through the hole, I could see the entire floor covered with bodies of savage dogs.

These dogs... had to have been there to tear us to shreds. But why were they all dead? Unable to stand the stench of blood, someone climbed out of the hole and threw up.

"There's a switch here. Once the timer is up, the door would open. Then, these starved, savage dogs would rush out and bite everything they see." Eason glanced at the mechanism. The wall wouldve open when it was time.

"How are they dead?" Zion was confused.

"Someone killed them." He analyzed the bodies on the floor and their knife wounds. "It's hard to imagine that this was done by one person."

Twenty plus dogs in a room were all killed by a singular person.

That person was even scarier than these dogs.

"It's Steve..." My voice was trembling slightly. I kneeled down on the floor and retrieved a piece of cloth from one of the dead dog's mouth.

It's the same uniform they were wearing. Who else could it be if not him?

He's not the killer....

He left before us to deal with the dangers and obstacles ahead.

"That lunatic... did he make his way to the first floor alone?" Joel said in disdain.

"Is he planning to find the guy before we all get killed?" Eason furrowed his brows. "He's definitely hurt. We can't let him move alone, we need to find him immediately!"

"There's a marking here!" Quinn found an arrow drawn from blood in a corner.

"Stephon... You're not gonna die, I won't let you die. You'll get out of here alive..."

I stood at the same place and stared at the blood on the floor. My body slowly stiffened.

I suddenly remembered what I asked Steven when I first got to this place.

"Will we die here?"

He stared at me with determination and said no.

He said, "Stephie... I won't let you die."

Is that why he's pushing forward even though it's incredibly dangerous?

"Countdown: 10, 9, 8..."

All of a sudden, the eerie voice rang out again. The voice of echoed across the entire floor.

"3, 2, 1..."

The countdown ended and the wall opened as expected.

But the starving dogs that were supposed to run out were all dead.

"Ha..." Yasmin walked over to Michael and took his arm. "The person behind all of this isn't that smart after all."

"Follow Steve's clues," Eason told us to do.

Michael glanced at me. Upon seeing how I'm glued to the floor, he

dranted away by Yasmin. Content to say something, butel.ne

"You don't need to care about her," She said. "She's with Steven, he won't leave her behind."

I didn't move an inch. Quinn and Carol wanted to tug me, but gave up after I didn't budge.

"Stephie?" Rachel called.

"This isn't right..." I shook my head.

Steven was also trying to find his way around. He wouldn't just leave clues on the wall. Besides, a lot of the walls on this floor can be moved. It was like a moving maze S

Even if you left behind clues, they wouldn't be accurate. Steven wouldn't make a mistake like this.

I swiftly marched over and looked at the arrow carefully.

The arrow was made of blood. It was sticky and wasn't fully dried. Someone had drew it on when we weren't looking earlier.

Steven was helping us solve problems, but someone among us was trying to create new problems.

There was a loud snap.

As expected, the wall slammed shut after everyone followed Eason into the other room.

"Rachel!"

"Stephanie!"

Michael and Zion wanted to run over

I was trapped on the other side with Rachel while the rest of them were inside.

I laughed coldly. "They're the ones in danger, it's useless to be concerned about us."

Rachel's hand that was on the door stilled. She turned her head nervously and looked at me.

"What's wrong, Stephie? Why are you suddenly so cold?"

She looked at me with a foreign expression.
