Inside the detention center.
Near the early hours of the morning, there was silence all around. During the day, Lauren did not
bother Joyce again, and everyone was at peace for the time being.
Inside the cell, the others had long gone to sleep, and Joyce had also fallen asleep.
Vicki faintly heard the sound of a key turning from the gate, she had always been alert and she never Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.
slept too deeply, so the slightest sound could alarm her. Her eyes snapped open, the surroundings
were extremely dark, but she was used to seeing things in the dark.
Vicki vaguely saw that it was a female prison guard, stout and, on a hunch, not the one who was
normally running this place. The late night visit could only for one purpose, the newcomer Joyce.
During the day, she had her cellmates change beds, and Joyce was moved to the bunk next to her.
Vicki gently rolled over and got up, nudging Joyce in her sleep.
Joyce had been practicing shooting since childhood. Although not as alert as Vicki, she was also very
sensitive to sounds.
She immediately woke up and her body moved slightly.
Vicki put a finger between her lips and makes a "shhh!" sound.
Joyce immediately understood. She also noticed that a female prison guard had just opened the chains
of the iron door and was approaching her.
"It’s quite abnormal. If you're called out, you deal with it first and I'll see what happens." Vicki shut up
and then quickly returned to her bunk and pretended to sleep. There is no shortage of such dark hands
reaching out in the detention center, taking suspects away in the middle of the night, raiding them for
interrogation, or torturing them and sending them back half dead.
The female prison guard came to Joyce's side, lifted her foot and kicked Joyce, saying nonchalantly,
"Wake up."
She hit hard and kicked Joyce in the shoulder.
Joyce pretended to have just woken up, rubbed her eyes, looked around, and asked, "Madam, what's
wrong?"
"Someone wants to see you, come out with me." The female prison guard lowered her voice and said,
"Keep your voice down, don't disturb others."
"Oh." Joyce sat up, put on her coat, and followed the female guard out of the cell.
The female guard locked the cell door back up before she left.
There was only a window on the roof in the gloomy detention center, and not a single beam of light
could get into the darkness of the night. The wind seemed to be blowing outside, whistling around in
the empty detention center wildly, making a gruesome sound.
Joyce followed the female guard all the way forward. She looked around, and found that this was not
the way to the parlor. She went on and on, and Joyce asked alertly, "Where are we going? Who would
ask to see me this late at night?"
The prison guard turned around and revealed a creepy, eerie smile.
"You'll know when you get there."
Joyce felt bad inside her heart, but the prison guard in front of her, except for her stout body, did not
look wrong, her uniform and shoulder patch were alright, it could not be fake. And there is surveillance
all the way, she wondered what she wanted to do?
The prison guard took Joyce to the room at the end of the corner.
Then, the prison guard gave her a sharp push from behind and pushed Joyce inside.
The room was dark inside with no windows, and a pungent musty smell was all around the place. It
looked just like no one had been there for a long time.
Joyce immediately understood that there must be a problem. She turned to run, but the guard’s strong
body blocked the door. She sneered and locked the door behind her.
"You don’t think I would just let you go, right?" The voice was eerie and terrifying.
The prison guard lit a lamp next to her hand. Because no one had ever used it for a long time, the bulb
gave a faint yellowish light and full of dirt. The light cast upon the surrounding rudimentary furniture,
dragging out narrow black shadows on the floor, to the darkness of the chamber, making the whole
thing even more horrifying.
