Reborn in the Enemy's Embrace - Chapter 210

Chapter 210: CHAPTER 210 Chapter 210: CHAPTER 210 It was surprising how quickly Juliet found a way out.

“Follow us.” Juliet cast a warning glance toward Zion and me.

I followed Juliet closely and observed her every move.

How did she manage to pull it off?

Did she raise her IQ to convincingly impersonate Sophia?

“This way.” Juliet could always find the mechanism quickly and lead us through each room with ease.

“Why did you get separated?” Zion asked Damien tentatively.

Damien glanced at me.

“I was concerned that they might struggle to find their way out.” Juliet snorted coldly and remained silent.

Eventually, she led us to the vent in a short time.

“The wooden floor isn’t strong enough.

If we destroy it, we might be able to reach the 15th floor,” Juliet said as she stamped on the floor.

It was clearly a later addition, not a solid floor slab.

Damien and Zion dug a hole in the ground that was just big enough for one person.

It was completely dark down there, and they were unsure what was inside.

“This is the elevator shaft.

Let’s tie our clothes together and use them to descend to the 15th floor.” Damien threw a lightning rod down.

It seemed like they found new equipment on this floor.

It took quite a while for the lightning rod to finally touch the ground.

However, it became clear that there was an exit on the 15th floor, which could be reached by jumping.

“Who will go down first?” Damien inquired.

Then, he looked at me nervously.

“Do you dare to go down?” “Trash!” Juliet cursed sarcastically.

She defiantly removed her shirt and boldly stood before everyone in just her undergarments.

She handed her shirt to Damien.

Damien also removed his shirt and tied it securely.

Zion understood his intention and also removed his shirt.

Meanwhile, Howard looked at me slyly.

He refused to remove his clothes.

I moved forward and pressed the dagger against his neck.

“Take it off.

It’ll be long enough with yours.” “How pretentious.” Howard reluctantly took off his shirt.

Damien tied the clothes securely and gazed at Zion.

“I’ll hold on here.

You all go first.” Juliet glanced at me with a hint of expectation for me to be the first one to go down.

Coupled with Quinn’s comments, I certainly did not trust Juliet.

“You should go down first and provide a demonstration.” Juliet noticed my lack of trust in her.

With a determined sneer, she grabbed hold of the makeshift rope’s end and braced herself to go down.

Lacking agility and too fearful to attempt a leap to the 15th floor, she clung to the rope with an intense desire to survive.

I was on the verge of laughter.

One could conceal one’s personality, but courage could not be concealed.

Juliet was not a courageous individual, and it seemed her legs had weakened.

But she didn’t dare to cry, so she had no choice but to jump.

With one foot in the air, she almost lost her balance.

She breathed heavily and stood on the 15th floor for a long time before regaining her composure and saying, “You all can come down now.” Damien said quietly behind me, “Sophia, trust me.

Don’t be afraid.” He wanted to assure me that he could hold on to me.

He urged me to not be scared.

I gazed at Howard with indifference.

“You, get down.” Trembling in fear, Howard declared, “I won’t go down…

Even if you kill me, I won’t go down.” “Okay, then you stay on this floor and wait for your own death.

When the time is up, the entire floor will be destroyed, including you,” I warned in a commanding voice.

Feeling a surge of fear, Howard turned pale and stammered, “I…

I’ll try.” After all, Howard was a strong man.

He forcefully pulled the rope down, yelling and screaming.

The clothes were ripped by him, creating a loud snapping sound.

“Hurry, jump!” Juliet urged Howard, pulling his leg and urging him to jump boldly.

With a scream, he ended up lying on the 15th floor in shock.

He was in a daze, breathing rapidly.

“These clothes are no longer strong enough to withstand the weight of both of us,” Zion exclaimed, frowning as he noted that the rope had significantly weakened.

With a sneer, I confidently gripped the floor with one hand and jumped down.

“Sofia!” “Sophia!” Both Damien and Zion were frightened.

I confidently landed on the 15th floor and addressed Juliet with a touch of provocation, “You know, the floor is only ten inches thick, so there’s really no need for any ropes.” Juliet’s expression darkened, and she instinctively raised her hands to cover her exposed upper body.

“No need to cover up.

There’s nothing attractive about your figure.” I looked at her mockingly.

Filled with anger, she was determined to attack me.

However, I swiftly outmaneuvered her, positioning the dagger firmly against her neck.

“I could kill you easily.” Suddenly, at the lights on the 15th floor came on with a click, flooding our location with an extremely bright light.

The sound of a carousel filled the air.

The entire floor was a giant amusement park.

Both Damien and Zion jumped down, emerging from the vent clad in clothes that were disheveled and distorted.

The entire 15th floor was a vast amusement park.

However, the atmosphere in the amusement park was rather eerie.

“This feeling is so familiar…” In an instant, a sharp headache shot through me.

I instinctively raised my hand to grasp at my hair, seeking relief from the pain.

This amusement park was a replica of the one donated by Huma Charity to Double Stars Welfare Home.

All of the amusement facilities were donated.

The amusement park, which had long been abandoned, was located in the backyard of the orphanage.

Why did the murderer want to recreate this place?

“Welcome to Double Stars Amusement Park, a place for everyone to enjoy!” The eerie voice echoed once again.

I seemed to hear laughter in the air and the sound of children at the orphanage playing with toys.

I faintly recalled that my parents applied for the amusement park several times and tirelessly negotiated with the charity to make it happen.

However, there was an accident at the amusement park.

A child from the orphanage had his legs trapped in the roller coaster, resulting in amputation and paralysis.

Consequently, the park was closed.

Subsequently, the orphanage prohibited the children from visiting the amusement park.

“This…” I walked to the carousel and saw the old-fashioned ride from ten years ago.

The wooden horses looked strange with their weird eyes.

Even the music sounded odd.

“What in the world does that lunatic want to do?” Zion furrowed his brows and cursed.

“Who knows what he wants to do?

He’s a lunatic…” Howard’s voice was trembling in his panic, and it was clear that he was trying to hide something.

I looked at him suspiciously.

“What do you know?” “What nonsense are you talking about?” Howard refused to admit it.

I walked forward along the carousel without asking any questions.

There were slides, indoor roller coasters, and swing rides…

“They should all be on this floor.

Let’s go meet them first,” Zion exclaimed, walking forward to locate Dexter and the rest.

I stood there, gazing blankly at the rides.

What was the message the killer sought to convey?

A sudden scream echoed nearby.

Damien, Zion, and Howard all rushed over.

I couldn’t seem to hear it.

I was lost deep in contemplation of the murderer’s intentions.

I detected the powerful smell of blood on the roller coaster track as it continuously passed through.

Back then, a child at the orphanage had his legs crushed by the track of this children’s roller coaster.

“Sofia, unless you die, they’ll never believe that I’m Sophia.” Suddenly, someone forcefully pushed me from behind.

Juliet truly desired to kill me.

The roller coaster made a loud noise.

Instantly, I reached out to grab Juliet.

I pulled her down and then turned her over before pressing her onto the track.

Before the roller coaster came over us, I released her.

Juliet sat up straight in fear.

The roller coaster whizzed past her head, her expression filled with fright.

Strangling Juliet, I asked, “Were you trying to kill me?” She grabbed my hand in agony.

I moved closer to her face and observed with great attention.

Indeed, I discovered valuable clues within her cochlea.

“Let me guess why you suddenly became smart.

Ah…

It appears that you and the person behind you are well-prepared.

He anticipated the serial killer’s attack and covertly placed an invisible wireless earpiece in your ear ahead of time.” I delivered a powerful slap to her face.

Yet, I failed to dislodge the earpiece that was well hidden in her ears.

Juliet glared at me intensely.

I grinned at her and delivered another firm slap, this time with a bit more force.

It caused her mouth to bleed from the corners.

In the end, the tiny, imperceptible earpiece finally dislodged itself.

I stood up and crushed the earpiece.

“Is it Peter?

Anti-detection and anti-shielding invisible earpiece?

Even if the murderer blocks the phone signal, he won’t be able to block the signal of your earpiece.” I smiled and glanced down at Juliet.

“Peter could contact you through the intercom, so he should be nearby, right?

Instead of calling the police for help, he let you continue.

What’s his intention?” I inferred that Peter was unwilling to involve the police or even inform them.

Juliet was his bait.

He was setting a trap.

He aimed to apprehend the murderer himself.
