The cabin door was swinging, emitting creaking and groaning sounds, and the abyss leading downstairs was pitch-black, with the inside lights flickering on and off, truly terrifying.
Laura hid near the door, wanting to accompany Chen Ke to the fish hold to investigate, but Chen Ke refused her, not wanting to be distracted during a fight with the eerie creature.
His clothes had dried out a bit, and Chen Ke handed his cell phone to Laura for safekeeping, taking only his wallet full of Holy Relics and his pistol.
He left a wet footprint with every step, like a deep diver, dragging a scent of the sea as he walked into the cabin.
The severed limbs and body parts on the ground had been cleaned up, but on the staircase below, a corpse was facing Chen Ke, kneeling on the last step, one arm stretched into the adjacent railing, its expression grotesquely distorted.
"Hey... what happened?" Chen Ke asked.
