Revenge After Death



"Don't go down there." Eason pulled me back and shook his head. "Me and Joel will go take a look."

After all, protecting and bringing the children back safe and sound was the police's responsibility.

I shook my head in response. "It's not just for Yara. I keep getting the feeling that... something down there is calling for me."

I didn't know why either, but I felt like taking a look downstairs.

The feeling was overwhelmingly strong. I couldn't explain it, but the attraction was there.

"Let's go." Steven took my hand and led me down the stairs.

"Do you feel it too?" I looked at him nervously.

He nodded.

Joel scratched his head quizzically. He looked toward Eason and asked, "Do you feel it too?"

Eason rolled his eyes. "I just know that it might be dangerous down there. Curiosity kills the cat-I don't have that type of curiosity."

Although well aware of the risks, everyone still went downstairs anyway.

Maverick followed anxiously behind us.

"I'll keep watch," he said softly.

In truth, he was just too afraid to go with us.

The staircase leading downward was extremely narrow. It was a retractable one, and it could be kept away at any time.

I was surprised to find that there was no one guarding the place today.

It was as if... they were luring us down here on purpose.

"Hehe... Big Brother."NôvelDrama.Org holds this content.

"Ball."

Suddenly, the sound of a rolling ball and two young voices rang out from the gloomy cabin.

I looked toward the near distance with a shocked expression.

Were there really children down here?

So far, we could only hear voices.

"Big Brother..."

There was a jingle. Then, a toy ball rolled over to us from the other end of the hallway.

I stopped and looked at the ball on the floor.

Not long after, two small heads popped up from the end of the cabins. They glanced around cautiously. Their eyes were bright and looked like stars.

"Ms. Stephy, there are kids!" Yara abruptly ran over and exclaimed, pointing at the pair of children. I was glued to the ground from shock. I believed her now-there were really kids below the deck.

"You guys..." I swiftly marched forward, but the two children immediately ran off like they were afraid.

When I caught up to them, the hallway was already empty. There was only a flickering light present.

For some reason, I became extremely anxious.

"Kids?" I yelled.

The group of us carefully made our way down the hallway and stared at the cabins as we passed them.

They were all tightly shut rooms. We didn't know what was inside, nor could we get them to open.

When we made our way to the very end, we came across Room 707. The door was slightly ajar. I was just about to push the door open when Steven stopped me.

"I'll do it." He shielded me behind himself and opened it.

Worried about potential dangers on the other side, everyone was on high alert. However, once the door was open, we were met with a surprising sight.

It was just an ordinary room-it looked like a normal three-bedroom unit.

The two children were seated in the living room. The windows were programmed to mimic an outdoor environment. The entire room felt like it was situated in a regular apartment building. You could even see and hear nature from beyond the window.

It was essentially a huge experiment room. It made you think that you were living in the city.

"Dad!" A small boy suddenly ran over and hugged Steven's legs.

Me and Steven simultaneously looked down at the child.

They were so incredibly identical.

The kid looked like an exact replica of Steven. His deep-set eyes were the same shade of the deep sea. His long lashes and chubby cheeks made him look extremely adorable...

My breath hitched in my throat. "Do you think this is your clone?"

How could they put a clone in the cabin? Was this cruise a huge testing ground? Something similar to the one Nancy had?
