At this moment, the medium also turned her gaze towards Jonas and realized that he was the one who had interrogated her earlier. She slowly advanced toward where Jonas was standing and issued a warning, “Be careful if you don’t want to be the next one.”Faced with her words, Jonas remained silent. He was curious about what the medium would do next.The medium gave Jonas a cold, piercing look, then turned away directly, returning to Karl’s location. She continued ringing the bell, and the sound grew increasingly eerie.The onlookers, despite finding her frightening, were reluctant to intervene. They didn’t believe her unfounded claims, but they knew matters related to the supernatural were incredibly unsettling. No matter how skilled or developed they were, they couldn’t truly comprehend it. Sometimes, the living could be more frightening than the dead, and the medium served as the link between the living and the deceased.Karl’s mental state was deteriorating with each toll of the bel

Etham and Liliana continued to argue relentlessly, each holding their own opinion, refusing to yield. Those around them couldn’t contain themselves any longer, and they split into two factions, engaging in heated disputes.“I think what Etham said makes sense. We don’t need to be responsible for anyone!” A woman walked up to Etham and spoke assertively.However, many others were displeased with their views. Clearly, everyone in this place had received the village’s hospitality. Now, when they had the chance to leave, were they willing to discard all those favors? Regardless of what was said, it was extremely hard to accept!“Bringing Karl onto the boat, how should we do it? We have so many people. Can’t we control him if he goes mad? Miss Liliana mentioned it earlier. Karl needs to get out for treatment.”“That’s right. We owe them, and now we need to repay. Not to mention, we can’t stand by while someone dies. I still believe in science; Karl is ill and needs to be taken out for trea

This left Jonas in shock. At first, Jonas believed that the paper left behind by Mrs. Laura was a clue leading him to the culprit. But it turned out to be a warning, a hastily written warning. Now Jonas could understand why this paper was under his bed and not somewhere in Mrs. Laura’s room. It was meant for him. Perhaps Mrs. Laura had foreseen that something would happen to her, so, before her death, she left this note as a desperate message. Mrs. Laura had no children, but subconsciously, she might have seen Jonas as her own, not wanting him to stay here, in a place that could kill him at any time.Invisible to others, the paper left by Mrs. Laura had become a heavy burden on Jonas. First, he felt a profound sense of sorrow. Mrs. Laura had protected him before her death and hid this warning under his bed. Yet, Jonas couldn’t protect her and could only stare at her body hanging in the air. Until now, he still couldn’t find out who had caused her death. There was something else that m

“Jonas, is there any noise outside?” Karl asked anxiously, looking over at Jonas.“Yeah, it sounds like someone shouting,” Jonas replied. He immediately got up, picked up a walking stick next to him, and rushed outside. A sense of unease was creeping in.Karl didn’t hesitate and followed Jonas.Outside, everyone had already rushed to the street. The narrow road was packed with people.Jonas stood to the side, quietly observing the situation. Karl’s house was made of sturdy wood and designed to be soundproof, which had allowed both Jonas and Karl to remain oblivious to what was happening outside. When they opened the living room, they were shocked to hear the commotion. The weather outside had taken a turn for the worse, and it was now extremely severe. The strong winds were blowing relentlessly, causing several thorny trees to uproot and lie on the ground. The snow was steadily accumulating in thick layers, covering the ground. Occasionally, in the distance, tornadoes appeared, and a

The waves grew larger, and the wind showed no mercy, directly striking Jonas in the face. Jonas kept swimming, struggling against the waves. Naturally, he encountered many difficulties, but he had expected this. He clung to the lifeline, fearing that any moment of distraction might cause him to lose it, and the waves would sweep away the boat. Jonas bobbed up and down as he continued to swim against the turbulent water. The river’s water level had dropped by now.People on the shore watched Jonas as he swam closer, their eyes wide with astonishment. They couldn’t believe that Jonas was still alive, let alone swimming back to them. It was beyond the imagination of everyone present. They couldn’t believe that a human could contend with the forces of nature. The scene before them was truly ferocious.“Look, it’s Jonas, isn’t it?” Seventh shouted.“Do you see it too? I thought I was seeing things!”“Yes, Jonas is alive, he’s still alive, he’s swimming towards us!”Karl also looked in the
