As I stood in the control room, a shiver ran down my spine. It enveloped my entire body. An excruciating headache gripped me, and a piercing ring echoed in my ears.
The overwhelming dizziness caused me to lose my balance, and I tumbled to the ground.
I noticed a switch on the control room floor, and Benjamin had placed a note on it that read "Exit". He placed the actual exit in his control room, revealing that he never intended to keep himself alive from the start.
I lay on the ground, my heart heavy with an indescribable feeling. Was it sadness or simply discomfort? It was as if something was on the verge of bursting out of my heart…
...
The secret room also fell into silence. After ten minutes had passed and the light came on for three seconds, Steven swiftly pressed the mechanism inside. The door to the secret room reopened, allowing them to climb out through the exit under the roller coaster.
Everyone lay on the ground, feeling fortunate to have survived. They were breathing rapidly. Zion quickly counted the remaining people and forcefully pulled the killer from inside to the ground.
The man appeared disoriented, his entire being trembling. It was evident that he had endured a prolonged period of confinement, rendering him somewhat deranged. "I was wrong. I shouldn't have treated you like that, I shouldn't have done that..."
He appeared to be unhinged, repeatedly insisting that he was aware of his wrongdoing.
I exited the control room, feeling a slight weakness in my legs. I said in a hoarse voice. "Benjamin is dead. The exit is in the control room..."
Zion glanced at me, a wave of relief washing over his face. "Howard has passed away."
Nearly everyone on the orphanage's list had died, except Yasmin and the man named Taylor. Honestly, this man named Taylor was seemingly invisible. He was so fortunate to still be alive. It was sheer luck.
His complexion was deathly pale, an indication that he had perhaps sensed that his death was coming. I remembered that on the murderer's Death List, Taylor was second only to Yasmin. In other words, after Yasmin died, Taylor was next in line.

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...
