Saturday, June 11th...
10 PM...

The small pebbles that once hindered their progress were successfully cleared. Uncle Pritchett's van only suffered damage to the battery. Now they were on their way to the planned location from yesterday. The silver Peugeot Van led the way.
101Please respect copyright.PENANAR6aiBvp8kn
"You're not sleepy, right, Bevans?" Purcell glanced to the right, looking at the driver with a hint of concern.
101Please respect copyright.PENANAN9KzbcPXRN
"Huh? How many times do you think I've driven?" The man with a top knot blew cigarette smoke out of the slightly open window. "One cigarette and the espresso I had earlier feels like a robot battery that lasts all day."
101Please respect copyright.PENANAKPne1XY7Ia
"Well, that's good then," Purcell looked back. "So, what about the layout Hedlych sent yesterday? Do you have any suggested plans, BMM?"
101Please respect copyright.PENANAJfyWHTyF3d
Upon hearing that abbreviation, the girl with Cleopatra-like straight shoulder-length hair looked up from her phone screen spontaneously. "What does BMM mean?"
101Please respect copyright.PENANAi5jbq9xjM2
"Bierce, Morgaine, Morvud? I thought it was practical,"
101Please respect copyright.PENANAsA8eSuTiv5
"Don't abbreviate it, it's not cute at all!" Bierce said disappointedly, with fluctuating tones.
101Please respect copyright.PENANAyjVP9SDSv2
"Okay, okay, sorry. So, what's your suggestion?"
101Please respect copyright.PENANAKHeN9RtYoW
"Well, I was a bit surprised. It looks like a cabin or haunted complex. I thought it was just one big piece of cake, but turns out there are a few other pieces. By the way, it's not specifically written here, but what kind of building is that house-like structure?" She handed her phone screen over and pointed to the layout.
101Please respect copyright.PENANAGCe4f5NVZ8
"I can't remember specifically because honestly, the place is quite run-down, and it took me a while to realize what kind of place it is. But based on our visits, there's a morgue, an incinerator, a room for electrical supplies or generators, a medication storage area, and two or three other houses without any indications of what they are."
101Please respect copyright.PENANA8vAxpJfA88
"Incinerator?" She looked up, Morgaine's pupils dilated and gleaming.
101Please respect copyright.PENANApQoF4XhQXT
Purcell explained that an incinerator is a place for burning bodies commonly used by mental hospitals to reduce the cost of coffins and land. It may sound disrespectful to the souls about to merge with the earth, but cremation was very effective in its time.
101Please respect copyright.PENANArO2KmRZI1a
"Um, Senior Purcell, is the morgue like the lockers in horror movies and games?" Morvud asked.
101Please respect copyright.PENANACVAyh8vkuH
"Yeah, but there aren't too many lockers. When Hedlych tried to turn something like a pipe valve, his guess was that it's a device to control the temperature of the bodies when they're placed in the lockers."
101Please respect copyright.PENANAUiys6c0GDH
#Whistle~
Bevans whistled suddenly.
101Please respect copyright.PENANAYfEVoDcQ4l
"That's the most important part, folks!" His tone sounded confident, but his facial expression showed otherwise.
101Please respect copyright.PENANAkqjXbydBXb
A few seconds later, the sound of an owl came from Morgaine's phone. A new message had arrived, and she quickly checked it.
101Please respect copyright.PENANATOYqWpyFud
"Senior Eiriol asks, what if the distribution is focused on the cabin-like buildings for the second-grade students? The rest can go to the main building," she added. "I'm fine with it, what about you, Morvud?"
101Please respect copyright.PENANArnYuEqCmrn
Morvud nodded without any issues, and so did Bierce, Purcell, and the driver, Bevans. They sent a reply message, and everyone agreed.
101Please respect copyright.PENANAbfG1k9dzpr
"Well, one is done. Now only one remains, let me see." Bierce scrolled through her phone screen, her eyebrows furrowing with confusion. "Hey, but what does this procedure mean, Purcell? Drawing a pentagram, lighting five red candles, and placing the Dybbuk box? What is it about-"
101Please respect copyright.PENANA7IVMq6hwsi
Before the driver could respond, Cleopatra woman interrupted, unable to hold back her protest.
101Please respect copyright.PENANAiZb1mjI8EW
"Wow, wow, wow! Wait a minute, wait a minute! I heard Dybbuk box, tell me if I'm wrong, am I wrong?" Bevans interjected, surprised. "Are you insane, Purcell?"
101Please respect copyright.PENANAbvyGtO88hi
"Don't tell me it's that Dybbuk box?!" Morgaine leaned forward eagerly in the middle of the front car seat.
101Please respect copyright.PENANAxkpIRUDLXs
"Calm down, everyone. We've been on ghost-hunting journeys for a long time, haven't we? Not everything turns out well. Just imagine, physical and mental preparations and all the equipment we've gathered, they should pay off with satisfying results, right? This is a new method I want to try, maybe it can replace the old ways. Think it through," Purcell explained.
101Please respect copyright.PENANA79n1YCjKwh
"But... we've never dealt with demons before, have we?"
101Please respect copyright.PENANATdTpaqB8x1
"Well, the first time is always tense!" Purcell smiled widely but with a hint of nervousness.
101Please respect copyright.PENANABadu5ikRoJ
After that, everyone except the driver leaned back, closed their eyes, and entered a dream.
101Please respect copyright.PENANAlAhSfMhFKE
--------------------------- 2 HOURS LATER ------------------------
101Please respect copyright.PENANAdt5ef5mojA
Three cars followed one another, driving on the asphalt with no other vehicles in sight. The passengers held their breaths as they entered Liandegla. The area was dense with trees, and the whispering of leaves accompanied the constant breeze, enveloping the silent darkness of the night. The tall trees acted as umbrellas, blocking the moonlight and leaving only the car's headlights as a source of illumination. While the mouths of the passengers uttered prayers and chants, their worried expressions revealed their hope that nothing would appear.

101Please respect copyright.PENANAMB2oVpmXf8
"Let's hope nothing crosses our path."
101Please respect copyright.PENANA6VyBSV7hb7
The car accelerated as fast as possible until they successfully bid farewell to the wilderness-like area.
101Please respect copyright.PENANAMeYwQyMrZy
Now their breathing returned to normal as they entered a residential area in Ruthin, northern Wales, if only for a moment. Although Ruthin was known for its market town, they had a pleasant camping site as well. Camping ambiance required nature, trees, and the sounds of animals, offering cool and calming experiences during the day. But when that reality flipped at night, it turned into an eerie silence.
101Please respect copyright.PENANAIYjBsiAbnP
In front of them, a dimly lit narrow road meandered through branches of trees, and their car cautiously maneuvered. Within five minutes, the car turned and stopped right next to a small gate.
101Please respect copyright.PENANAbVDNlQ9adO
"Do you have the key?" Bevans applied the brakes but kept the engine running.
101Please respect copyright.PENANAKJYtsHGoIm
"Of course, Hedlych has requested permission." Purcell opened the car door and quickly unlocked the easily surmountable padlock.
101Please respect copyright.PENANAWWTlTcmpo5
She push the gate after unlock, and the car accelerated to enter. They parked right in front of the complex of the abandoned building. Getting out of the car, they huddled briefly near the front door.
101Please respect copyright.PENANAvizy6VbHQv
Pool Park Asylum, or the mental hospital near Pool Park, stood magnificently in front of the cottage complex. The two-story Mock Tudor-style building dated back to the 19th century. It had steep triangular roofs, tall chimneys, white brick walls combined with half-timbered woodwork, and window walls as high as a person.
101Please respect copyright.PENANAyYCL6ggSc9
The facade still retains an aesthetic appeal and appears to be of high value, with dormer windows providing ventilation in the attic. However, in reality, being abandoned since the 1900s is not a sign of the building being in prime condition. The history swiftly transformed the luxurious sanctuary for souls into an empty and haunted, even cursed, structure.
101Please respect copyright.PENANAqzgJZwOhh0
"Alright, everyone, we have arrived. The group assignments were clearly communicated in the group. Well, I know it's repetitive, but procedures are procedures. First, turn on your EMF detectors and search for specific locations where the EMF radar might sound," Purcell instructed.
101Please respect copyright.PENANA682LunK6Mm
Purcell demonstrated by touching the EMF antenna, and the radar beeped, resembling the sound of a doorbell. The device physically resembled a handheld radio with several indicator lights.
101Please respect copyright.PENANAJCrvufFmkh
The twelve individuals, divided into two groups, each from Class 3 and Class 2, followed Purcell's instructions.
101Please respect copyright.PENANAPofpXiYLTL
"Great, okay, EMF readings are good. Next, securely place the static cameras in positions that provide a wide view. Most importantly, ensure they are well-mounted to avoid any accidents. We only have four cameras with tripods, so use the camera mounts for safety. Understood, LD? Danog?" she added. "Any questions, Luned? Bierce?"
101Please respect copyright.PENANAsBJn86Eu9V
The individuals addressed shook their heads.
101Please respect copyright.PENANAKnHn5LB7nC
"Okay, moving on, I'm sure you all understand how to operate the flashlights. Adjust them according to your preferences. And now, onto the video section. Hmm... Who was the driver earlier?"
101Please respect copyright.PENANAVOuEkZZUZa
Three people raised their hands—Bevans for Bierce's Peugeot van, Pritchett for his uncle's van, and Gethin for the sedan. Purcell then decided that one of the three would be responsible for recording.101Please respect copyright.PENANAI5sgGaPGfT
101Please respect copyright.PENANAYtuFDYoxgg
"Alright, in my group, Hedlych will handle it. And Morgaine, what about you?"
101Please respect copyright.PENANAxj45Az2eSN
The short-haired girl named Morgaine pondered for a moment.
101Please respect copyright.PENANAaABoq4LR72
"I'll leave it to Morvud," she replied.
101Please respect copyright.PENANAjC6reTiPjo
They divided the cameras among their respective groups, with each person wearing a head-mounted flashlight. The rest was up to execution.
101Please respect copyright.PENANAzCR42JGqwG
"Any further questions?" Purcell asked.
101Please respect copyright.PENANA90cDe3lRpc
LD, the individual with reggae-style braided hair, raised his voice.
101Please respect copyright.PENANAY1zctqZlll
"Yow~, yow~, Senior Purcell! I don't understand the Dybbuk box. Is it similar to a loudspeaker box?"
101Please respect copyright.PENANA4Ju7qyGH7n
His joke didn't match the eerie atmosphere of the place, and his friends ignored it. However, Purcell explained that it was a box containing a demon, to be used as a last resort if they didn't capture good footage.
101Please respect copyright.PENANAzqbIoemkWN
"Lastly..." Purcell took a deep breath. "Pay attention to your steps and safety. Don't forget your belongings."
101Please respect copyright.PENANAMgUobOG6ka
...
101Please respect copyright.PENANA8QzeOXMo0E
"We'll meet again at the dining club," she concluded.
101Please respect copyright.PENANAL7O4O1DNWe
They dispersed according to their assigned locations. Morgaine and her group found themselves in the asylum's cabin, while Purcell's team had to go around to the back entrance.
101Please respect copyright.PENANA56PFfjdiXs
#Krru< kruuww~ krru< Kruuuw~
101Please respect copyright.PENANAWSgHWFmPm5
The sound of an owl echoed from Morgaine's phone, startling them and causing them to pause.
101Please respect copyright.PENANAtn5HKRjOZc
"Hehe, sorry," she added, quoting the message.
101Please respect copyright.PENANAC5nc1rMXL8
Sender: A.D. Purcell
Phone Number: +44-8442015666
Message: Beloved juniors, I forgot a few things >.<
101Please respect copyright.PENANAto2X3XRjvR
- Don't be too afraid of Poltergeist occurrences if they're not too disruptive. The footage can be very useful, as it's one of the factors that helped us win many championships.
101Please respect copyright.PENANAcB2cosGlki
- Apparitions, shadows, and things peeking are normal, so don't be afraid.
101Please respect copyright.PENANAGi2j9RQVy2
- I forgot about the Spirit Box. Remember to turn it on and ask politely. If there's no response, try subtly provoking or find another spot.
101Please respect copyright.PENANANnLHP5M7wq
- Try to have conversations instead of staying silent. We didn't bring any paranormal mediums.
101Please respect copyright.PENANAxIkFizD7Pv
"Huh? Why is she stating the obvious?" Morgaine asked, glancing at her friends. They also raised their eyebrows. "Wait, the message isn't finished."
101Please respect copyright.PENANA3BLiiOlIM7
The message appeared to be incomplete and written in bold letters from a considerable distance.
101Please respect copyright.PENANA0edxbNNlB7
- If you hear a woman crying or screaming, run immediately and prioritize your own safety. Don't worry about the equipment, save yourselves first.
101Please respect copyright.PENANA74XeX1mWFG
A banshee is not a good omen.
101Please respect copyright.PENANArDLpjXPCnU
An hour after the message was sent, the sound of a woman's cry mixed with a faint scream could be heard not far from Morgaine's group. Their minds were in turmoil, and they quickly returned to the vicinity of the parked van.
101Please respect copyright.PENANAco0YEt0ES6
As they didn't encounter the seniors after a few minutes, they collectively decided to proceed toward the back entrance. They walked along a path surrounded by bushes and turned left.
101Please respect copyright.PENANAg6nafTUXPF
One of their seniors lay unconscious on the ground. There was a small trace of blood near the back of their head.
101Please respect copyright.PENANA2O22Rwcoz0
"Sen-senior…Bevans?" Morgaine called out.
101Please respect copyright.PENANAOExzRA1bEJ
When the body was turned over, they discovered the back of their head smeared with red jam, emitting a panic-inducing odor.
