She kept screaming that she was innocent, that she didn't want to die there but it was too late, they were already taking her to the submarine with her team of 6 other people much more accustomed to the black hadal site, their facial areas showing their cruelty as well as their crimes. They explained her objective, to recover the crystal located at gate 100, her collaborators kept saying "Pendemonium at gates 30" they laughed proudly.She wasn't looking forward to going back, she wanted to go home, even though she had no family or friends, she wanted to go home.Once on board, she knows how to be discreet, her team keeping an eye on her. The journey lasted a long time, a very long time, too long for that to be possible.After a while the sub arrives safely, they all get off, HQ recalls the objective, her team is already in the first room while she looks around.“Hurry up, #404! We have a crystal to reach!” N1 shouts. “Mr. Lopée would be happy to dismember you!”She had to stop herself from joining them in the 4th room, once door 5 opened the lights flashed, her team entered the lockers, a horrible scream approached and you could also hear lights breaking. She looked for a free locker but the scream became very loud and a dark creature attacked her, she screamed in pain devoured and dismembered by this thing, it was complete darkness, the pain faded, she had always wondered what happened after death... now she finally knows that this is what she believes.She was in the dark when a table with objects started to appear and a pair of what she believes to be glowing blue eyes."oh...hello...you're dead...what a pity...but unfortunately it doesn't end there...you'll come back...we haven't met yet because you died prematurely...I hope next time you'll join me, in the meantime, watch your team get killed one by one."Suddenly she could see her team moving forward, it was obvious they were more experienced as they were already at gates 19.
----- CHAPTER BREAK -----
Her teammates died at doors 30 by a creature that killed them as soon as it saw them, without wasting a minute she found herself with them in the submarine. She was terrified of returning so quickly to this hell and especially of being forced there."Guys, I'll take the flash, you, Etienne, a code breaker, Fabrice, a medical kit" said the alleged N1 named Jimmy.once the "journey" is over they return to door 1, her teammates do not waste a minute to recover their objects and the key card, and advance with great speed, they were far ahead of her when the doors close on both sides, music starts, the room was dark fear sets in quickly. A silhouette crossed the wall to approach her, she was very scared. she was teleported with the others but unfortunately she was killed once again by a creature this time purple."well... no luck... that one looked different, wait I haven't shown you what killed you yet, right? with each death by a creature you will know it more and more here is its document with the part of the purple unlocked " the voice said showing her what she died of.the creature is named Angler and the purple pinki, it seems to be a variety of Angler.the document closes with a blue hand scratched on 4 fingers "do better next time idiot!""oh looks like your team died in a ridiculous way" she returns to the submarine.they take the same objects and start again."Guys I have an idea with the flash"said Jimmy. Ester asks what his idea is Jimmy replies by telling her that they will see. They move forward avoiding the two Anglers that she has actually seen so far. in the dark rooms Jimmy puts his idea in place, he flashes it very close which blinds her for a few seconds. Door 20 is the furthest she has been so far. the lights are flashing fortunately there is a secondary room where they are hiding, the Angler who arrives is yellow, he passes twice before moving away but the team does not move then the Angler passes a third time and they continue on their way, the door needed a key card but fortunately Fabrice finds it and they attack the 21st room, large windows overlooking the water devoid of lights,a green light catches their attention as if they were forced to look, Ester screams not to look but it was easier said than done, she stares at it for too long constantly hearing "Look at my eyes, look at them all your dreams will come true" she was not fooled it was obviously a trap but she didn't succeed.
