"Don't worry, I won't harm him like you did. He only behaves when he's unconscious... " the voice assured, though distorted, still carrying a hint of affection and attachment. Who could this person be... Simeon? But Simeon was already dead.

"Don't play tricks!" Just as I was about to discreetly message Zion and Eason, the voice on the other end suddenly snapped sharply.

Startled, I froze and began heading out of the neighborhood.

"Don't go!" Before I could reach the minivan, Joel suddenly emerged and grabbed me from behind, his breath ragged.

"Don't go... He told me to tell you not to go anywhere. Trust him, he'll come back for you," Joel said nervously, sighing with relief after stopping me from getting in the minivan. He took my phone and, through gritted teeth, addressed the person on the other end.

"I don't care who you are, stop playing games with me! If you're really that capable, show me what you've got, and go kill Yasmin and all the people on your Death List!"

I quivered as I stared at Joel, bewildered by this fearless teenager.

The killer fell silent on the other end of the phone.

Frightened to death, I tried to snatch my phone back from Joel. "Steve is still in his hands..."

"Stay out of this!" Joel pointed at me and continued to talk on the phone, "Well? Say something!"

After a long silence, the killer suddenly laughed maniacally, as if truly gone mad.
