They all agreed, but Abhay interjected, "Do you all forget who my father is?"

Their expressions shifted as they started laughing. This young man in front of them was the only son of Dhanush Kashyp, the Director of the CBI.

Gouri felt a growing unease about the plan to enter the building. She protested, "It's not a good idea. It's a crime scene. Why even bother going there?"

Abhay retorted, "Don't you get it? That guy spread a story about a lady ghost flying through the corridor, and I want to hunt down that ghost!"

Gouri responded, "Abhay, my parents won't let me go out at night."

"Don't worry," Abhay reassured her. "It's only 6:00 PM now. We'll be entering the building around 2:00 AM. Sneak out of your house, and we'll come pick you up."

Yamini muttered to herself, "It's absurd to think someone would commit mass murder in a hospital using black magic. None of this makes sense anymore." Exhaustion was evident in her voice.

She received a call from Akshat, who asked her to come to his room next door. Feeling a mix of curiosity and fatigue, she went to see him.

"Oh, you're here, Rashi. Come and look at this report from the blood samples we collected this morning," Akshat said as Yamini walked into his room. She settled into a chair, her curiosity piqued.
