Addicted To The Genius Lady With A Thousand Faces

Chapter 776:

Neil hadn’t expected the phone number to still work after all these years.

The ringtone chosen by the mysterious person was notably unique—a sound Neil had never encountered on any other phone. Thus, when it chimed, he instantly knew it had to be the mysterious person on the line.

Despite the passage of years, the mysterious person had never altered the number. Was it preserved just for him?

As he listened to the chilling ringtone, vivid images of the horrors he had inflicted upon his family burst forth unbidden—each bloody detail replaying before his eyes. The intensity of the memories flooded him with an almost unbearable terror.

Succumbing to his fear, Neil decided he couldn’t bear to hear the mysterious person’s voice. The phone had barely rung three times when he hastily ended the call.

He breathed heavily after hanging up, his face flushed, and large beads of sweat dripped from his brow.

But before he could find his composure, his phone rang.
