In fact, a single scream wouldn't have shocked them that much. All the employees and patients of Aisa Hospital, as well as all the people of the city, were aware of the strange and heartbreaking events that happened all over the city during the past month. Therefore, this kind of reaction was normal, they tried to observe the side of caution.
The story was that since the incident at the Dragon's Legacy Castle, there had been brutal assaults that were generally accompanied by gruesome murders. Even though a month had passed since the beginning of this series of incidents, even the identity of the criminals behind these cruel actions had not been determined yet.
The remarkable point was that these events were taking place in a military city where most of its citizens were either adventurers or serving in the army. Normally, with a large number of skilled and trained people, these crimes should have been stopped and the criminals caught or killed quickly.
Among the people in the hospital, Simon was the only one who could fight skillfully. Aisa and Melwa knew a little martial arts, but they knew very well that they could not resist these criminal rioters.
Simon bravely held his sword in front of him and slowly walked towards the staircase; Not only was he not afraid of murderers and rioters, but he was also afraid of an opportunity to face them. Aisa also took the dagger she always carried and moved behind Simon the swordsman; In addition to worrying about Lena, he also felt responsible as the head of the hospital. Melwa was also busy arranging the situation and pushing back other nurses and patients present on the scene.
Since that scream, not even the slightest sound had been heard from upstairs, but when Simon and Aisa reached the threshold of the staircase, they heard the sharp sound of someone's footsteps from above. Both took a defensive posture and waited for the enemy's attack in the same place.
As the footsteps came closer to the stairway, the atmosphere became more tense until Simon and Aisa's eyes fell on someone coming down. That person panicked and quickly jumped into Aisa's arms, and Aisa could feel his shaking well.
Aisa separated her from her arms and asked her face to face: "Are you okay? is something wrong What was that scream, Lena?"
Lena, who had tasted fear well and was speechless, was unable to answer. He just looked at Aisa with wide eyes and dry lips and pointed with his hand to the upper floor and where he came from.
Simon motioned for Aisa to go back with Lena. Then he decided to go up the stairs when he suddenly stopped in his place.
From the highest point of his vision, where the ceiling no longer allowed him to see above, a hanging white cloth descended. With more precision, it could be understood that there are human feet in the middle of the white cloth, and the cloth covers the body of that person.
Simon was paralyzed and could not move. The man in white slowly descended lower and lower. First, the legs, then the middle part of the body, and finally the head were visible.
When Simon's eyes fell on the face of the man, who was no more than a teenage boy, fear crept into him for a moment. What scared him was not his behavior, what he was wearing, or his disheveled hair, but...
The eyes of that boy, i.e. Lenus, were red like a pool full of blood and stagnant without any other color or design.
Simon couldn't take his eyes off Lenus' deep, terrifying eyes as he held his sword tremblingly forward. Although he flinched a little at the first moment, he tried with all his might to resist the crazy invisible waves that were emanating from Lenus' eyes.
Lenus walked down the steps until he was standing in front of Simon. Until then, Simon had not been able to show even the slightest movement. The other people present were also unable to see Lenus completely due to Simon's large size.
Aisa was surprised by Simon's procrastination, so she handed Lena over to Melva and went near Simon, but when her gaze met Lenus' gaze, she froze where she was standing. He and Simon felt that if they made even the slightest move, they would die instantly.
A few tense seconds passed. Seeing Simon the swordsman and Isa the healer stop, the others didn't dare to go forward either. During this time, Lenus did not show any movement among the white sheets and with his scary looks; He did not say anything and his body was shaking.
Suddenly, a strange headache came to Lenus' mind and made him hold his head tightly with his hands. The contraction of the muscles in his head and hands clearly indicated how much pressure he was under. After that, he fell on the ground and pressed his head with his hands. However, there was still no sound from him.
Now that Lenus's terrifying and piercing gaze was cut off, Simon and Aisa could move on. They went to Lenus in a daze, not knowing what was happening, but as soon as they brought him back to normal, they realized that Lenus had passed out.
Aisa looked at Simon and said, "Put it up!" In the light of his eyes, it was clear that he had noticed something that he had been unaware of until now.
Simon immediately did the same. He lifted Lenus in the same position and went upstairs. Aisa also, after ordering the others to disperse, went to the corridor on the right and entered her own room. He hurriedly looked for a particular book among the books in his closet.
After searching for a while, she finally found the book, which was obviously very old. While she was in a hurry, she flipped through the pages carefully until she reached the desired page. By reading what was on that page, doubt turned into certainty; "What happened to you, Lenus?" she muttered with wide eyes, trembling lips, and worried looks.
