Chapter 417

We landed on the fourteenth floor via the emergency escape, the atmosphere charged with an ominous vibe.

I quickly held back the group, a silent signal to stay alert.

Beside me, Colin was peering down at a laser tripwire, its red beam slicing through the darkness like a beacon of danger.

With a deliberate motion, Colin nudged the beam, and immediately, a click sounded, followed by a tiny steel ball dropping from above. It rolled down its designated path, clattering against the wooden floor tiles which collapsed like a line of dominoes.

As the domino effect continued, the entire fourteenth floor was suddenly bathed in light, revealing an expansive, unobstructed space.

The collapsing tiles eventually spelled out the word "DEATH".

Not far from us, a girl in a red dress was bouncing a rubber ball, seemingly oblivious to our presence.

"Hey, kiddo!" Finn called out.
