As expected, it was a morgue. The air-conditioning was on full blast in the room full of tables and freezers, and the place was around two hundred to three hundred square feet. A dull blue light illuminated the area.
"Oh, it really is a morgue. Are we... going in?" Renee grabbed Stefan's clothes and asked, trying and failing to sound brave.
"Of course! We're already here. Maybe... Jayla is in there?" Stefan smiled and entered the room. "You seem to be enjoying yourself, Stefan. I always knew you had a twisted mind!" Renee hid in his arms and criticized him.
Thank you, but my mind is perfectly fine." Stefan rolled his eyes, then explained seriously, "I think everything in this world is a medium, be it humans, animals, or spiritual beings. Their existence is natural. You're afraid of them, but maybe they're afraid of you too. So, just calm down and take things as they are. You don't have to be scared at all."
"Hmm.... you're right. We're all on Earth anyway. At most, our latitude is different. I don't have to be afraid.” Renee nodded, sounding enlightened. She stopped clinging to him like a koala, and slowly let go of Stefan's hand. "Let's go! I feel brave now; I can even talk to the ghosts!" Renee patted her chest confidently.
That's good." Gratified, Stefan nodded. "Take my advice-the most important thing is your attitude. If you're calm, you'll be unstoppable.”
That makes sense...” Renee agreed and nodded. "You're calm, so no one can hurt you. It's always you hurting others." Despite her resentment of him, Renee sincerely admired Stefan. At such a young age, he had achieved so much, and created so many business opportunities while managing Hunt Enterprise. He was a strong person; other people his age couldn't compare to him. Of course, someone with such a strong mind would never get scared from something like this.
Suddenly, a white figure dropped down in front of them, swaying back and forth eerily.
"Ah!" Terrified screams resonated in the morgue, echoing throughout the hallways and rooms. The ‘white figure eventually stopped swaying, but the screaming remained.
"Can you stop yelling? My ears hurt!" Renee covered her ears and snapped at Stefan, who k ept screaming. "You were just lecturing me about being calm! If you ke ep this up, the owner of this place might call an ambulance for you."
Finally, Stefan stopped screaming, but didn't dare look at the white figure. He stared at Renee intently and acted like nothing happened. "Are you alright?"

Hence, they temporarily forgot about their resentment and focused on clearing the levels. They were currently in the hospital's basement, and the lighting was dim and there were
many comers. A ghost or monster could rush out at any point.
"Did you find any clues in the lobby just now? Stefan turned around to ask Renee.
"An iron hook." Renee held onto that iron hook and walked behind Stefan. "Did you find anything strange just now?"
Stefan had been standing outside the hospital and had es caped being trapped under the net. Logically, he should have found a lot of clues. "No, I didn't," Stefan answered honestly, "I just went to buy drinks, and when I came back, I saw that dark figure chasing you. I didn't have the time to find any clues.”
"How useless!" Renee scoffed, "I thought you stayed behind to do something useful, but I got more clues than you."
Tell me what clues you got.” Stefan paused and looked at her calmly.
"Didn't I tell you? This iron hook is the clue. Plus, it's the main clue!" Renee sounded confident, not giving that iron hook up.
"Let me see it," Stefan said finally, holding his hand out with a frown.
"Go ahead. Let's see if you can figure anything out." Renee handed the iron hook to Stefan.
Stefan held the hook and studied it under the dim lights, then sniffed it. It smelled like blood. "Maybe this iron hook is what caused Jayla's death."
"I think so too!" Renee's eyes gleamed with excitement. She was happy to have finally found someone who shared her thoughts. "I'm sure it's Jayla's blood on it. If we find out who killed Jayla, ‘we can win the game... I think the murderer must be the doctor in this hospital!"
Stefan asked, "Why do you say that?"
"Didn't the handbook tell us that the
doctors were in volved in selling organs? Jayla might have discovered their crimes, so they killed her. Or... maybe Jayla was caught up in their dealings?" Renee said firmly, "That must be it. After all, no one else had the motive to kill!"
Stefan stared at the iron hook and shook his head. "If it were a doctor, they could use something cleaner and smoother to do it. Why would they use a rusty hook?"
"That's right..." Renee agreed, then thought about it for a while. "But if
they used scalpels or medicine, m people might find them out easily. No one would be able to link an iron hook to them, so maybe that's why they used it."
"Regardless, we've got to find things related to Jayla.' Stefan figured they needed more evidence. He scanned the basement and found two large closed doors ahead of him. It was a mysterious and eerie sight.
