Revenge After Death

Chapter 42

Zion threw the cigarette butt in the trash can and spoke again.

“Stephanie’s phone has suffered varying degrees of damage, but it’s not completely irreparable. It’ll Just take time to recover the data, so we’ll wait and see,”

Michael stood numbly in place, looking unusually exhausted for a moment.

I didn’t know when my soul would disappear and when I would truly die. I didn’t understand why I was in my current state. All I could do was wait.
