few minutes of walking, Penny found herself standing at the small building behind building three. It looked old and there were still remnants of undergoing construction in some parts of the building. "It's still under renovation, but for some reason, the construction had to stop until some matters were settled," Ray explained, standing a step ahead of her. "It's safe, though. Don't worry. The renovation is on the other side. Though, if you don't like scary stuff, you shouldn't come inside." Penny snapped
