The elevator descends to the basement. After a soft chime, the elevator doors open. Kris Cooper steps out, glancing down the corridors on both sides, and frowns slightly.
"Where's my basement?"
He has only lived in this place a few times, so naturally, he's never been to the basement.
"This way!"
Luckily, the Property Manager is familiar with the layout and immediately leads the way.
Just after passing a section of the corridor, Kris Cooper vaguely picks up some sound.
"Wait!"
Raising his hand to signal everyone to stop, he turns his head slightly, listening closely.
Indeed, this time the sound is very clear, like a knocking sound coming from somewhere.
His heart tightens, and he shoves the Property Manager aside, striding quickly toward the source of the sound. The closer he gets, the clearer the sound becomes, with faint traces of a hoarse voice.
"I want to go home... go home..."
