Chapter 272: Hospital (6)
Everly was very angry.
Most of the time, she was a person with stable emotions who preferred peace. As long as others did not actively provoke trouble, she was quite tolerant of other people’s mistakes.
But if someone insisted on pushing their luck, she did not hesitate to respond in the most ruthless way possible.
She was angry now because, after spending a long time feeling tense, suspicious, and on edge, she had accidentally spotted something familiar through a crack in the wall tile—a miniature camera.
She had bought many such devices before during a ski trip in the snowy mountains, and she was so familiar with the appearance of various brands on the market that she recognized it at a glance.
An artificially caused elevator malfunction, fake “ghostly phenomena,” and hidden pinhole cameras embedded in the walls—once all these elements were put together, she immediately realized she was likely dealing with some kind of prank.
Recently, with the rise of livestreaming, such prank broadcasts had become quite common. Not long ago, for example, someone had disguised themselves as an infected patient on a crowded street, randomly lunging at passersby and filming their panicked reactions to upload online for public amusement.
What made it even more unpleasant was that the organizers of that prank were minors. Even though the incident caused a major disturbance and several people were injured in the ensuing chaos, the perpetrators ultimately only had to pay some compensation and perform 100 hours of community service. They faced no real punishment.
Everly suspected she was dealing with something similar.
