Revenge After Death

Yasmin collapsed onto the ground, her face as white as a sheet. She had no energy to explain.

"I already said that the elevator wasn't safe..."

"It must be her. She's the most suspicious among us," Rachel snarled. She raised a foot as if she was going to kick Yasmin. Yasmin dived into Michael's arms in fear, to which Michael looked at me out of reflex.

I didn't bother to respond. I got up and touched the wall.

"Rachel Qualls, stop trying to stir the pot. You just think that I killed Stephanie Carlson! Why don't you reflect on yourself?

"You and Zion are suspicious too. You were dead, but now you're alive!" Yasmin refuted angrily, clinging to Michael's arm as she spoke. "Michael, don't believe in what she said. It isn't me."

Yasmin seemed to be having an emotional breakdown. She was crying desperately.

I looked at her and said, "You can cry louder. That way, we'll die even sooner."

Yasmin glared at me as if she wished for me to die.

But right now, she simply seemed like a joke to me.

"If the culprit is among us, then it's good news," I said calmly, consoling everyone.

"At the very least, they wouldn't be seeking death. That also means... the mastermind won't let us fall to death in the elevator."

I knew Yasmin wouldn't have taken part in planning the killing game. It was because she didn't have what it took.

My words successfully pacified the group. Quinn quietened down and hugged Rachel.

The elevator went down slowly. It stopped on the seventh floor, which was in pitch-black darkness. There was no light. "Well, none of that was in vain. We skipped quite a few floors, going from the 13th floor to the seventh floor," said Eason. He was trying to lighten the mood, but he dared not be the first to step out.

Joel glanced at Eason, who was clinging to his arm.

Joel said, "You really live up to your name."

Eason paused, then glared at Steven.

"You told the kid that?"

To Eason, Joel was but a high school kid.

Steven habitually ignored Eason.

Joel scoffed, then began to drag Eason out to the seventh floor. He asked, "How scared are you... of Simeon?"

Eason and Simeon had a long history together.

When Eason heard Simeon's name, he felt a chill down his spine.

"You know quite a lot, kid. Now, shut up."

I pulled Steven out of the elevator.

Michael wanted to exit the elevator too, back as she sat on the floor and cried.

She was finally feeling fearful.

out."

Teary-eyed, Quinn nodded and followed behind Rachel, exiting the elevator.

Zion got Eason's help to carry Taylor out while also being wary of their surroundings.

Suddenly, the elevator moved.

I shouted at Michael, "Get out!"

Michael wanted to exit the elevator, but Yasmin couldn't stand up and held him back!

"Michael!"

The elevator began to drop. In the process, Michael pushed Yasmin outside.

He fell downward with the elevator, all alone.

I crouched by the edge of the elevator shaft and watched the elevator fall.

We were on the seventh floor.

Even if we considered the blank floors and the basement floors... Michael would die.

"You're a bad omen!" Rachel snarled. She wanted to beat Yasmin up, but Zion stopped her.

My breath quickened as I stared at the dark pit below. My body began to tremble.

Michael... didn't deserve to die.

I turned around and slapped Yasmin and glared at her.

"You deserve to die..."

Stunned, Yasmin stared blankly at the elevator that dropped downward.

She collapsed onto the floor.

"Michael..."
