Reborn In a Murderer’s Embrace

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.

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

Finn rolled his eyes. "Dramatic much?"

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.

The girl kept playing, ignoring Finn completely.
