Violette hid fearfully behind Zion, not daring to look.
Dexter was the first to enter. He limped slowly. I felt like he was trembling. It was unclear if this trembling stemmed from fear or excitement.
"Sophia…" His voice was hoarse and unpleasant. The ruined tone felt suffocating.
"Sophia?" Zion echoed.
He furrowed his brow as he activated his phone's flashlight.
There was a dull thud. The woman standing before us fell straight to the ground.
Zion's expression darkened. He quickly grabbed a nearby stick and surveyed the surroundings cautiously.
It was a dead body.
Violette was just an ordinary medical student. Despite her strong character, she had never seen a body like this.
She screamed as she covered her eyes and crouched on the ground. It took her a moment to slowly lower her hands.
She cried as she asked Zion, "Zion, my legs are numb. I can't look. Please check for me. Please, see if it's Sophia."
