Reborn In a Murderer’s Embrace

Chapter 407



Dexter and Robin both leaped down, and together, we wriggled into our stretched and distorted clothes, emerging from the ventilation shaft. Fifteenth floor, an entire floor... turned into a massive playground.

But the vibe of the playground was eerie.

"This feels so familiar..." Suddenly, a headache surged through me. I reached up, tugging at my hair, trying to ease the pain.

This playground was an exact replica.

A replica of... the playground donated by Sea City's charity to the Double-Genius Welfare House.

All the amusement facilities were donated, and that playground was located right in the backyard of the orphanage, now long abandoned.

Why would the perpetrator recreate this place?

"Welcome to Double-Genius Playground, a place for everyone to enjoy, beep beep beep..." That creepy voice echoed once more.

I could almost hear laughter in the air, the sound of children from the orphanage fighting over toys.

I vaguely remembered, the playground was the result of my parents' numerous applications and negotiations with the charity organization.

But after an accident occurred, causing a child from the orphanage to get their legs trapped in the roller coaster, leading to amputation, the playground was shut down.

Afterwards, children were forbidden from going to the playground.

"Here..." I approached the carousel, observing the amusement rides that were only present a decade ago, the creepy horses, their bizarre eyes, even the sound of the music felt sinister.

"What does that lunatic want?" Robin frowned, cursing under his breath.

"Who knows what he's up to, the madman..." James sounded panicked, his voice trembling, clearly hiding something.

I eyed him suspiciously. "What do you know?"

"What are you talking about?" James refused to admit anything.

I didn't press further, walking past the carousel.

There were slides, an indoor roller coaster, and a Ferris wheel...

"They should all be on this floor, let's regroup with them first." Robin called out, moving forward to find Colin and the others.

I stood there, numbly looking at the amusement rides.

What was the perpetrator trying to convey?

"Ahh!" A scream came from not too far away.

Dexter, Robin, and James all ran towards it.

I, as if not hearing, continued pondering the perpetrator's intentions.

On the constantly moving roller coaster tracks, I smelled a strong scent of blood.

Back then, the child from the orphanage had their legs crushed on this very children's roller coaster track.

"Foebe, unless you die, they'll never believe I'm the real Phoebe." Suddenly, someone pushed me from behind. Melody really wanted me dead.

"Click click click." The roller coaster roared towards us.

I grabbed Melody and pulled her down with me, flipping over to pin her on the track.

As the roller coaster approached, I let her go.

Melody sat up in terror, the roller coaster brushing past her head, leaving her in shock.

I grabbed Melody by the throat. "You wanted to kill me."

Melody struggled, grabbing at my hand.

"Let me guess, how did you suddenly get so smart?" I leaned in close to Metody's face, observing carefully, and sure enough, I founda clue in her ear. "Hmm... it seems you and the person behind you were prepared, knowing the serial killer would target you, so you placed a hidden wireless earpiece in your ear in advance."

I slapped Melody hard across the face, but the earpiece didn't come out.

Quite hidden.

Melody glared at me fiercely.

I smiled at her, another slap, harder this time, causing her lip to bleed.

Finally, the tiny hidden earpiece fell out.

"Damian, right?" I stood up, stepping on the earpiece. "Anti-detection, anti-jamming, hidden earpiece... Even if the killer blocked the phone signals, they couldn't block your earpiece's signal."

I laughed, looking down at Melody. "If Damian could communicate with

I guessed that Damian didn't want to call the police, he didn't even want the police to know.

Melody was his bait, and he was fishing.

He was after the killer himself.

It seems the serial killer's actions were severely impacting Damian's so-called gic experiments.

The serial killer's purpose in killing 'Phoebe Caldwell' was to demonstrate against madmen like Damian involved in anti-human gics.RêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only

"The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind." I said, my voice deep.
