Chapter 303

"Help..." The woman next door let out a blood-curdling scream, accompanied by the sickening crunch of breaking bones, sending a jolt of terror through me. Even if I had to die, as someone terrified of pain, I didn't want it to be like that! Soon, the sounds from next door subsided, leaving a deathly silence as if the entire ordeal had been a hallucination. At the same time, the neighboring door creaked open, and the sound of shambling footsteps suggested someone had emerged. But the footsteps vanished just as quickly, disappearing into the void.
