A small town installs an emergency underground communication system after a mysterious earthquake. Every house receives a special phone that connects to a central underground line for disasters.
One night at 3:17 AM, Arif's phone rings.
When he answers, a whisper says:
"Please… don't let them know you picked up."
Arif thinks it's a prank. But then the voice continues:
"They live in the tunnels under your town… and they hear every phone call."
The call suddenly cuts.
The next morning, Arif learns something terrifying:
The underground communication center was destroyed 20 years ago… and no one has been able to call from it since.
That night the phone rings again.
This time the voice says:
"They know you answered the first call."
And slowly… footsteps begin echoing from beneath his floor.
