Avelia was thoroughly enjoying herself.

But as she danced, she suddenly sensed that something was off about the people around her.

What first caught her attention were the expressions of the people around her.

The faces that were once beaming with joy gradually became numb and empty.

Even his open eyes were dull and lifeless, like those of a dead person.

Avelia sensed something was wrong, stopped dancing, and gently touched the person next to her.

The young people who were touched stopped dancing.

This gesture seemed to be a signal, and the other dancers stopped their movements and all looked at Avelia.

Their empty, numb eyes had an uncanny valley effect, sending chills down one's spine.

Why did you stop? Why didn't you keep jumping?

The young man who stopped first smiled and asked the stylishly dressed Avelia.

Avelia immediately got goosebumps.

She clearly saw a strange smile on the man's face!
That smile was clearly malicious.

And these people's reactions are so abnormal! What's wrong with them? Why have they suddenly become so dazed?

"Aren't you going to jump? Remember I said before that I was framed and didn't leak any secrets? But you insisted on accusing me of leaking secrets and forced me to stand in that small room for three days and three nights. During that time, you also forced me to run in circles. I twisted my leg, but you still forced me to run, saying that this is the vitality of young people and that I should move. If you like moving so much, why don't you jump?"

The unfamiliar face before Avelia suddenly twisted and turned as if by magic, transforming into a face she knew all too well.

The prisoner, De Leon, is a man forced to confess.

How did he get here? Wasn't he already dead?
Why has everyone around her become the criminals she once interrogated?
Why are all those狰狞 faces staring at her with such hatred?!

Avelia was terrified and frantically shook her head, denying it: "I didn't do it! Please, please let me go!"

De Leon approached step by step, his black, rotting hands pressing on her shoulders, his drooping head almost touching her face.

"What are you afraid of? Jump up! If you don't jump, I'll kill you right now!"

Avelia cried like a helpless child.

"I'll jump, I'll jump right now!"

Under the horrified gazes of the crowd, Avelia began to dance while crying.

For a full half hour, Avelia kept jumping without a chance to rest.

If dancing with others was enjoyable before, it's now pure torture.

The whole bar seemed to become eerie. Everyone surrounded her, staring intently at her, as if they would pounce on her and tear her to pieces the moment she stopped dancing.

"I'm so tired, can I rest for a bit?" Avelia cried and begged for mercy after dancing for three hours straight.

However, De Leon showed no sign of letting her off the hook: "You can't stop now. You have to keep dancing, and you have to dance beautifully. Otherwise, I'll saw off your legs."

De Leon threatened menacingly, pulling out a buzzing chainsaw as his opponent stared in terror. "This chainsaw can easily sever your legs! Good luck trying to save them!"

The roar of the chainsaw echoed in her ears as Avelia cried miserably, "Okay, okay, I'll jump now, I'll definitely jump beautifully!" The night seemed exceptionally long, as if it had no end. Eventually, Avelia could barely keep going.

Before fainting, Avelia was still filled with fear: "Am I going to die here? No!"

When she was exhausted and felt she was about to die, Avelia cried out sadly, "Don't saw off my legs, let me die whole."

The light shone through her eyelids, slightly irritating her eyes. Avelia opened her eyes, staring blankly at the white expanse before her, unsure how to react.

"Where am I? Am I still alive?"

The voice, trembling with sobs, sounded incredibly pitiful.

The nurse who came in to deliver the medicine saw this and gently comforted her: "Don't worry, Ms. Avelia, you are safe now. There are no such terrible things here."

Avelia looked up and saw a gentle face. Noticing the nurse's uniform on the person, she quickly touched her leg.

Both legs were intact and had not been sawed off.

that is really good!
A surprised Avelia blinked and asked, "I'm safe now, right? Who saved me? Was it you?"

If so, this nurse is amazing; she can actually deal with demons and monsters!
Make sure to get along well with this nurse; you can ask her for help if you encounter any problems in the future.

Unhurried footsteps came from outside the door. Before the nurse could answer, Pomley walked in with a sullen face.

His face was ashen, like a powder keg ready to explode at any moment, as if he were barely suppressing his raging anger.

“I gave you the leave to adjust your work routine, not to mess around! And what did you do? Instead of adjusting, you went to those kinds of places to fool around and made a mess of things! What are you going to do about your work now? Have you even thought about your job?”

Avelia shrank back as she was being scolded. This angry boss was really terrifying and difficult to deal with.

“Yesterday... I never expected to encounter something like that, Ponrie. Yesterday I really saw a ghost. In the dance floor, the ghost said he was De Leon and that he wanted to take revenge on me. Then everyone in the bar turned into a ghost. I was really... really held hostage by a ghost and forced to dance until I passed out from exhaustion. I have no idea what happened after that!”

Pontelle sneered, clearly not believing the excuse.

"Stop pretending. I've already had the priest examine you, and there's no evil aura about you. In other words, no ghosts have ever bothered you; it was just a hallucination caused by the use of illegal drugs!"

This explanation stunned Avelia.

How can it be?

The terrifying scene from that night is still vividly imprinted in my mind. The fear was so real, the ghosts were so real, how could it be fake?
"Team leader, are you mistaken? I'm telling the truth. If you don't believe me, you can ask other experts to conduct the test. Don't we have professional psychological research experts?"

Mentioning this made Pontelle's face even more unpleasant.

The nurse next to her sighed and explained the situation to her:

“Your entire task force has been wiped out and is now recuperating in the hospital. It’s impossible to carry out any work right now.”

The doctors and nurses who received them were special staff members, so it's not surprising that they knew some inside information.

But when she heard that all her colleagues had been in trouble, Avelia still found it hard to believe.

"How is this possible? How could something have happened to them? What exactly happened? What's going on?" (End of Chapter)
