On a quiet Tuesday morning, Victor leisurely sipped his tea and browsed through the newspaper when his phone began to vibrate. Checking it, he saw Alex's name flash across the screen. He quickly picked up, only to be bombarded by Alex's frantic questions. "Where are you, Victor? Are you safe? How many times must I call you?"
"What's going on, Alex? Why all the worry? I'm just here drinking my tea," Victor responded, puzzled by the urgency in Alex's voice, which relaxed slightly upon hearing Victor's calm.
"Just get over here and I'll explain everything," Alex pressed, his voice still tense.
Sensing the gravity of the situation, Victor hurried to the office. As he entered, his friends immediately enveloped him in a concerned embrace. "What's going on?" Victor asked. Han stepped forward, holding a chilling photograph—Victor's face crossed out, splattered with blood, and a stark warning scrawled on the back not to dig deeper.
"Did you encounter anyone suspicious on your way here?" Han asked anxiously.
Victor shook his head, his mind racing with the implications of the grim warning.
After a grueling two-hour work session, the team wrapped up their tasks. Tom, looking to lighten the mood, suggested, "Hey, why don't we check out Victor's basement now that we're done?"
Soon, the group found themselves at Victor's house, descending into the basement that they had last explored with Ava, who was noticeably absent this time. Victor let out a sad chuckle, recalling their previous visit together. Sensing Victor's discomfort, Han quickly suggested, "Why don't we start with that room over there?"
As they moved to the indicated room, Alex suddenly exclaimed with excitement, waving a book in the air. "Guys, look at this!" He held up a journal emblazoned with the words "My Diary." Everyone gathered around, intrigued by what secrets it might hold.
Alex flipped open the diary, revealing the name Eliz Hansleigh inscribed on the first page. The entries detailed various aspects of her life. "Looks like she was really into journaling," remarked Han, scanning the neatly penned pages.
As they delved deeper, the group found that the diary contained more than just daily reflections; it narrated a story, one so harrowing and incomprehensible that it seemed beyond human understanding. They were the first to unearth this chilling tale, standing on the brink of disturbing revelations that Eliz had left behind.
