On the contrary, Steven appeared quite ordinary. However, as I gripped his hand, I could distinctly sense his strength gradually waning too.

"Click." The door of another room opened, and a figure stumbled out.

I stared at the person before me, my eyes widening in astonishment. It was none other than Howard.

"He claimed to have cancer. After being granted bail, he was swiftly transferred to the hospital for emergency treatment. How did he get here under the nose of the police?" I asked in shock.

Steven didn't respond and passed me off to Joel. "Go grab a bite to eat and select a weapon for self-defense before these people come out."

Steven was aware that the people on the lists were all inherently vicious. With limited food and resources, they might not be able to wait for police rescue and could end up killing each other due to the scarcity of food and resources.

The mastermind sought to witness this phenomenon. His purpose was to make everyone kill each other. Since the very first case of the serial murder case, he had skillfully used the close connection between the killer and the victim to murder.

Howard lay on the ground, clearly unable to stand up due to low blood sugar. As he opened his eyes and caught sight of Steven, fear and survival instinct overwhelmed him, prompting him to flee towards the end of the corridor.

With a resounding "click," another iron door swung open, revealing Callum's wife.

When we went to look for Carol, we found out that she was a woman who had suffered from domestic abuse by Callum.

I stared at Steven in disbelief. "Isn't she innocent? How could she have been caught?"

"She is a victim." Steven frowned.

Taking a deep breath, I couldn't help but wonder if the captured individuals were not only the perpetrators but also the victims.

"Carol... Carol!" She panicked and shouted, displaying a noticeably greater physical strength than Howard.

I took Steven over there and examined her room. She had consumed the nutrient solution. She was also aware that the words on the wall held the key to locating the key. It became evident that she was quite smart.

"Please, I need your help! Carol has also been captured. We were caught together. Please!" She pleaded desperately, urging Steven and me to assist her.

I nervously glanced at Steven. "Carol is actually here too..."

"Joel, take her there," Steven requested of Joel, asking him to take me to eat.

Joel nodded and grabbed my wrist. wanted to stay, but I also knew it would cause trouble for Steven Therefore, I quickly followed doel to replace

some food.

As we reached the end of the corridor, we were met with a tantalizing spread of food and an array of weapons mounted on the wall.

Michael ate slowly, scrutinizing the array of weapons adorning the wall before finally selecting the most handy one.

Although considered traditional, weapons like knives and axes held an undeniable lethality capable of ending a life.

Yasmin wrapped all the leftovers in a tablecloth, clearly intending to keep them for herself.

"What are you doing? You've taken everything away! What about everyone else?" I exclaimed with anger.

Clearly, Yasmin and Michael had no intention of providing a means for others to survive.

Yasmin glanced at me coldly and

ignored me. She made her way to the weapons wall, carefully choosing two extremely sharp knives. Then, she proceeded to remove all the other

apons, planning to hide

Joel saw through her intention and quickly moved forward to grasp her wrist. Michael furrowed his brow and reached out to block Joel Tension crackled in the air between the three of them.

I walked over, squatted down, and carefully selected a dagger for myself. After that, I chose another one for Steven.

Joel reached out to grab the sword that had caught Yasmin's interest, only to be abruptly halted by her.

"Put down the food and weapons." I couldn't comprehend why I pressed the dagger against Yasmin's neck. Quietly approaching her from behind, I firmly stated, "Put it down, or I'll kill you."
