Chapter 134: Today (10)
Everly took Mark’s phone and tried it a few times, only to find that it was already blacked out and broken. There was no way to tell what he had been trying to do with it before he died.
She tossed the brick-like phone aside, still hopeful, and searched Mark’s body again. In the end, aside from a set of keys, she found nothing.
“I’ve entered Mark’s house now. The power is out, so it’s pretty dark inside. I’m about to start searching the basement. Everything is normal so far,” she reported to the group through her Bluetooth earpiece.
Considering that in American horror movies, nine out of ten villains do their dirty work in basements or underground facilities, the first thing Everly did after examining the body was to explore the basement.
She searched very carefully—tapping on the walls, looking for hidden mechanisms, even closely inspecting the floor—afraid there might be some concealed space hidden within. But after a thorough search, she found absolutely nothing.
It was just an ordinary basement, filled with all sorts of clutter, with nothing suspicious at all.
Just as Everly was focused on her search, Misha, who was monitoring from outside the police station, suddenly spoke up:
“Everly, something’s happened at the station! The Dumpsy you told me to watch suddenly acted like he was possessed while working—he stood up, started shouting, even drew his gun and fired a few shots into the air. Then his head exploded, and he dropped dead.”
“After Dumpsy died, more screams quickly came from inside the station. I heard several people shouting Charlie’s name—I think Charlie may have also been attacked by a monster.”
