Revenge After Death (Michael and Stephanie) novel Chapter 414

As the light went out and the secret room plunged back into darkness, they had to proceed with caution. They were afraid that any careless move could harm their companions unintentionally.

"Place your hand on each other's shoulders and declare your name!" Steven's voice echoed through the dark, inviting them to step forward and reveal their name through the connection of their hands on his shoulders.

"Zion."

"Rachel," said Rachel, her voice trembling with fear.

Rachel gently placed her hand on the shoulder of the person standing in front of her. The other person uttered, "Michael."

"Yasmin."

"Eason..."

"Howard..." Howard's voice was forbearing, probably because he was injured.

Amid the darkness, Howard's voice resurfaced. His hand rested on the shoulder of the person in front of him. "Reveal your name! Speak up!"

In an instant, the entire secret room was engulfed in darkness once more. "Ugh!"

Howard was unlucky as he encountered the murderer. Perhaps, in the mere three seconds when the light flickered on, the murderer had set his sights on Howard as his target victim.

I believed that Howard should be been dead by now. His death would have exposed the murderer, allowing Zion and Steven to take control.

But the interior was too dark, and the hidden room felt like Schrödinger's cat. I couldn't anticipate what would happen next until the light was turned on.
