Lance's gaze drifted towards the gloomy second floor, it was desolate without a single sound of life, his expression marked by uncertainty.
["Any signs of a new victim this time other than Rose Clarit, 007?"] he inquired, his voice laden with confusion.
007 responded promptly, ["Although, It's not the same corpse as before. However, it's another female victim this time."]
Lance furrowed his brow. ["Is it similar to Rose Clarit's demise?"]
The AI system provided further details. ["Yes, her eyes wide open, and no sign of blood. Pearl is here too."]
As they approached the floor, Nicholas kept a vigilant watch. It wasn't long before Pearl and the others emerged from the shadows.
Pearl, her eyes still red from crying, rushed towards Lance and hugged him tightly. "Lance, I finally found you," she said, her voice trembling with relief.
Biting her lower lip, she continued, "We've been stuck on those stairs for what felt like an eternity. How did you manage to get up here?"
