Chapter 141
Ewan hesitated for a moment before finally agreeing.
As we made our way to the asylum, my body trembled uncontrollably.
I couldn’t understand why I felt so sad, but the image of that charred room remained
etched in my mind.
The fire, the thick smoke, and the desperate cries replayed vividly in my thoughts.
When Steven and I shared a room, I immediately noticed the grotesque scars from the fire covering his entire back, as well as his hands and legs.
He must have endured so much pain back then.
“That asylum was later shut down, and the director was arrested because of reports of patient abuse,” Ewan said.
During the journey, I looked up the asylum and came across numerous horrifying
scandals.
The doctors derived pleasure from tormenting and abusing the patients, subjecting them to electric shocks, drowning, suffocation, and torture.
The darkest aspects of human nature were amplified within those walls.
As I sat there, a sudden realization washed over me. “Apart from the director’s arrest and sudden death from a heart attack in prison, the other doctors, who weren’t
convicted, seemed to have died one after another over the years,” I muttered.

It felt just as eerie as the orphanage, instantly unsettling me upon arrival.
Recently, a popular livestreamer had explored this place, claiming it was haunted.
“This was Mr. Lincoln’s room. The Lincolns specifically instructed it to be a single room for his comfort,” Evan said.
But instead, it was like hell.
I pushed open the door and froze in place for a moment.
The walls were adorned with formulas and numbers, revealing his attempt to calculate something.
The room was oddly clean. For a moment, I could almost picture a teenager in a white patient gown, diligently scribbling calculations on the wall with a pencil.
I walked along the walls, gently tracing the numbers as I went.
At last, at the end of the room, I saw that formula. He was using calculus to calculate pi, endlessly working out every digit after the decimal point.
“What did he want to do?” I asked skeptically.

The readers' comments on the novel: Revenge After Death (Michael and Stephanie)
A very good thriller in the beginning ruined by unnecessary twist and unrealistic plots. Exaggerating the story just for the sake of it. Totally disappointed...
