The small pebbles that once hindered their progress were successfully cleared. Uncle Pritchett's van only suffered damage to the battery. Now they were on their way to the planned location from yesterday. The silver Peugeot Van led the way.
198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡugjp5RjMpN
"You're not sleepy, right, Bevans?" Purcell glanced to the right, looking at the driver with a hint of concern.
198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKnFJRSexCd
"Huh? How many times do you think I've driven?" The man with a top knot blew cigarette smoke out of the slightly open window. "One cigarette and the espresso I had earlier feels like a robot battery that lasts all day."
198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeGYUkzJsX0
"Well, that's good then," Purcell looked back. "So, what about the layout Hedlych sent yesterday? Do you have any suggested plans, BMM?"
198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa5LEpIcRMC
Upon hearing that abbreviation, the girl with Cleopatra-like straight shoulder-length hair looked up from her phone screen spontaneously. "What does BMM mean?"
198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo6QmSCpKM7
"Bierce, Morgaine, Morvud? I thought it was practical,"
198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCE4Y1J5Xa6
"Don't abbreviate it, it's not cute at all!" Bierce said disappointedly, with fluctuating tones.
198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAB40Tc1rtx
"Okay, okay, sorry. So, what's your suggestion?"
198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVXSvOaqxrc
"Well, I was a bit surprised. It looks like a cabin or haunted complex. I thought it was just one big piece of cake, but turns out there are a few other pieces. By the way, it's not specifically written here, but what kind of building is that house-like structure?" She handed her phone screen over and pointed to the layout.
198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwu6NPjgI5q
"I can't remember specifically because honestly, the place is quite run-down, and it took me a while to realize what kind of place it is. But based on our visits, there's a morgue, an incinerator, a room for electrical supplies or generators, a medication storage area, and two or three other houses without any indications of what they are."
198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSXoQiK9hC1
"Incinerator?" She looked up, Morgaine's pupils dilated and gleaming.
198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiaLCWpJZKr
Purcell explained that an incinerator is a place for burning bodies commonly used by mental hospitals to reduce the cost of coffins and land. It may sound disrespectful to the souls about to merge with the earth, but cremation was very effective in its time.
198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuJiqf7r4sp
"Um, Senior Purcell, is the morgue like the lockers in horror movies and games?" Morvud asked.
198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Ix7ncuYAD
"Yeah, but there aren't too many lockers. When Hedlych tried to turn something like a pipe valve, his guess was that it's a device to control the temperature of the bodies when they're placed in the lockers."
198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCICvD316gx
#Whistle~
Bevans whistled suddenly.
198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS6B8cAC9Eh
"That's the most important part, folks!" His tone sounded confident, but his facial expression showed otherwise.
198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4q5CWK4fAf
A few seconds later, the sound of an owl came from Morgaine's phone. A new message had arrived, and she quickly checked it.
198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCueC76bjaj
"Senior Eiriol asks, what if the distribution is focused on the cabin-like buildings for the second-grade students? The rest can go to the main building," she added. "I'm fine with it, what about you, Morvud?"
198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3KJYt1fdxk
Morvud nodded without any issues, and so did Bierce, Purcell, and the driver, Bevans. They sent a reply message, and everyone agreed.
198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGT28Tu4f5a
"Well, one is done. Now only one remains, let me see." Bierce scrolled through her phone screen, her eyebrows furrowing with confusion. "Hey, but what does this procedure mean, Purcell? Drawing a pentagram, lighting five red candles, and placing the Dybbuk box? What is it about-"
198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS65LGn7AdO
Before the driver could respond, Cleopatra woman interrupted, unable to hold back her protest.
198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjp4QtNKvbS
"Wow, wow, wow! Wait a minute, wait a minute! I heard Dybbuk box, tell me if I'm wrong, am I wrong?" Bevans interjected, surprised. "Are you insane, Purcell?"
198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQSHkMP8xp3
"Don't tell me it's that Dybbuk box?!" Morgaine leaned forward eagerly in the middle of the front car seat.
198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRhTlH7ASxy
"Calm down, everyone. We've been on ghost-hunting journeys for a long time, haven't we? Not everything turns out well. Just imagine, physical and mental preparations and all the equipment we've gathered, they should pay off with satisfying results, right? This is a new method I want to try, maybe it can replace the old ways. Think it through," Purcell explained.
198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡad6SxWe2Me
"But... we've never dealt with demons before, have we?"
198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWfQSck7YKH
"Well, the first time is always tense!" Purcell smiled widely but with a hint of nervousness.
198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY7BDdrzaKX
After that, everyone except the driver leaned back, closed their eyes, and entered a dream.

--------------------------- 2 HOURS LATER ------------------------
198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6hkTXY2Psx
Three cars followed one another, driving on the asphalt with no other vehicles in sight. The passengers held their breaths as they entered Liandegla. The area was dense with trees, and the whispering of leaves accompanied the constant breeze, enveloping the silent darkness of the night. The tall trees acted as umbrellas, blocking the moonlight and leaving only the car's headlights as a source of illumination. While the mouths of the passengers uttered prayers and chants, their worried expressions revealed their hope that nothing would appear.

198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTBp6g17LAV
"Let's hope nothing crosses our path."
198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRsfsctMOKN
The car accelerated as fast as possible until they successfully bid farewell to the wilderness-like area.
198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPcTB86Gxhd
Now their breathing returned to normal as they entered a residential area in Ruthin, northern Wales, if only for a moment. Although Ruthin was known for its market town, they had a pleasant camping site as well. Camping ambiance required nature, trees, and the sounds of animals, offering cool and calming experiences during the day. But when that reality flipped at night, it turned into an eerie silence.
198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUaiALB1Xi3
In front of them, a dimly lit narrow road meandered through branches of trees, and their car cautiously maneuvered. Within five minutes, the car turned and stopped right next to a small gate.
198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBCH0QbGQtx
"Do you have the key?" Bevans applied the brakes but kept the engine running.
198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtDoz625QSn
"Of course, Hedlych has requested permission." Purcell opened the car door and quickly unlocked the easily surmountable padlock.
198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡddMa8EWOTK
She push the gate after unlock, and the car accelerated to enter. They parked right in front of the complex of the abandoned building. Getting out of the car, they huddled briefly near the front door.
198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWBexSELhMc
Pool Park Asylum, or the mental hospital near Pool Park, stood magnificently in front of the cottage complex. The two-story Mock Tudor-style building dated back to the 19th century. It had steep triangular roofs, tall chimneys, white brick walls combined with half-timbered woodwork, and window walls as high as a person.
198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYEAPTg3iCI
The facade still retains an aesthetic appeal and appears to be of high value, with dormer windows providing ventilation in the attic. However, in reality, being abandoned since the 1900s is not a sign of the building being in prime condition. The history swiftly transformed the luxurious sanctuary for souls into an empty and haunted, even cursed, structure.

"Alright, everyone, we have arrived. The group assignments were clearly communicated in the group. Well, I know it's repetitive, but procedures are procedures. First, turn on your EMF detectors and search for specific locations where the EMF radar might sound," Purcell instructed.
198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnQIkT2lBGB
Purcell demonstrated by touching the EMF antenna, and the radar beeped, resembling the sound of a doorbell. The device physically resembled a handheld radio with several indicator lights.
198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ahVC1h96g
The twelve individuals, divided into two groups, each from Class 3 and Class 2, followed Purcell's instructions.
198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5BoJRnc6BW
"Great, okay, EMF readings are good. Next, securely place the static cameras in positions that provide a wide view. Most importantly, ensure they are well-mounted to avoid any accidents. We only have four cameras with tripods, so use the camera mounts for safety. Understood, LD? Danog?" she added. "Any questions, Luned? Bierce?"
198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1qlqs0L4l6
The individuals addressed shook their heads.
198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEPxxdJknQd
"Okay, moving on, I'm sure you all understand how to operate the flashlights. Adjust them according to your preferences. And now, onto the video section. Hmm... Who was the driver earlier?"
198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT98MofLEwv
Three people raised their hands—Bevans for Bierce's Peugeot van, Pritchett for his uncle's van, and Gethin for the sedan. Purcell then decided that one of the three would be responsible for recording.198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7xudl7LAre
198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkmTxAdvx2O
"Alright, in my group, Hedlych will handle it. And Morgaine, what about you?"
198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKhGSM9sL0h
The short-haired girl named Morgaine pondered for a moment.
198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJHqM4LpFxo
"I'll leave it to Morvud," she replied.
198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjwaWFPMngo
They divided the cameras among their respective groups, with each person wearing a head-mounted flashlight. The rest was up to execution.
198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXZQvyEk3Vq
"Any further questions?" Purcell asked.
198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkcZ56rl2Ak
LD, the individual with reggae-style braided hair, raised his voice.
198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPYW1vtMew2
"Yow~, yow~, Senior Purcell! I don't understand the Dybbuk box. Is it similar to a loudspeaker box?"
198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZZljbRW6SS
His joke didn't match the eerie atmosphere of the place, and his friends ignored it. However, Purcell explained that it was a box containing a demon, to be used as a last resort if they didn't capture good footage.
198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzlGJ1Xi4rK
"Lastly..." Purcell took a deep breath. "Pay attention to your steps and safety. Don't forget your belongings."
198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZdVRWrPEHa
...
198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAALOhbRz7X
"We'll meet again at the dining club," she concluded.
198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZt0JLWgB0B
They dispersed according to their assigned locations. Morgaine and her group found themselves in the asylum's cabin, while Purcell's team had to go around to the back entrance.
198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡERrH9NI2dW
#Krru< kruuww~ krru< Kruuuw~
198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhYakeOS2GM
The sound of an owl echoed from Morgaine's phone, startling them and causing them to pause.
198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuxIKg21JMs
"Hehe, sorry," she added, quoting the message.
198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ3GYLnMnJn
Sender: A.D. Purcell
Phone Number: +44-8442015666
Message: Beloved juniors, I forgot a few things >.<
198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXyK6CLv5sr
- Don't be too afraid of Poltergeist occurrences if they're not too disruptive. The footage can be very useful, as it's one of the factors that helped us win many championships.
198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXvCt9pO3oH
- Apparitions, shadows, and things peeking are normal, so don't be afraid.
198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjQSFOP4ggA
- I forgot about the Spirit Box. Remember to turn it on and ask politely. If there's no response, try subtly provoking or find another spot.
198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyILFnlbPlc
- Try to have conversations instead of staying silent. We didn't bring any paranormal mediums.
198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoeyJBhAJR2
"Huh? Why is she stating the obvious?" Morgaine asked, glancing at her friends. They also raised their eyebrows. "Wait, the message isn't finished."
198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡonEPI6nKk4
The message appeared to be incomplete and written in bold letters from a considerable distance.
198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw9m8lIcfjL
- If you hear a woman crying or screaming, run immediately and prioritize your own safety. Don't worry about the equipment, save yourselves first.
198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfaxOU23RD0
A banshee is not a good omen.
198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡroiUtiBxrs
An hour after the message was sent, the sound of a woman's cry mixed with a faint scream could be heard not far from Morgaine's group. Their minds were in turmoil, and they quickly returned to the vicinity of the parked van.
198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡayYDVgPmoy
As they didn't encounter the seniors after a few minutes, they collectively decided to proceed toward the back entrance. They walked along a path surrounded by bushes and turned left.
198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCeaYrczGPP
One of their seniors lay unconscious on the ground. There was a small trace of blood near the back of their head.
198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQi9hTIR0Qt
"Sen-senior…Bevans?" Morgaine called out.
198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFFcJB8NoqZ
When the body was turned over, they discovered the back of their head smeared with red jam, emitting a panic-inducing odor.
