Just like that, the monster made its silent reappearance.
Without a single hint of warning, no one had time to react.
Its terrifying silhouette exceeded anyone's wildest nightmares, leaving everyone present rooted to the spot, briefly forgetting how to even function.
"Heh... heh... heh..."
A rasping sound, like sandpaper grinding against concrete, emanated straight from the creature.
Suzy and Mark were the first to recover their senses, backing away from the dark barrier.
Cold sweat stood out densely across Suzy's forehead.
This was her very first time seeing the monster in its complete form. Truth be told, it wasn't bloody or gory, but the thing looked far too human.
An overly humanoid entity naturally triggered the uncanny valley effect; just a single glance sent a violent chill running through Suzy's entire body.
She forced herself to avert her gaze.
Mark was considerably more composed, his eyes remaining locked on the creature ahead.
