It was so dark that nobody could even see their fingers in front of them.
Everybody started talking at once... many even screamed out loud.
Overwhelmed with fear once again, a strange force suddenly lifted Xyla Quest, her body flying forward rapidly.
It happened so fast that she couldn’t react in time.
She could not even cry for help, even if she wanted to.
It felt as if there was a restriction in her throat that stopped her from making any sound.
Her body floated in the air and moved forward as if she was in outer space where gravity no longer existed.
The darkness intensified feelings of fear, and at this very moment, Xyla had never been more scared.
Her heart was also beating faster and faster as if it would soon leap out of her chest.
The strong sense of fear caused her mind to go blank.
Right then, Xyla felt that she had lost complete control of her body, where a strange force was whirling her around like a spinning top in the air.
And then, her body stopped mid-air.
When Xyla opened her eyes, it was still pitch black.
She tried to speak, but she still couldn’t.
At that moment, she could already feel Satan approaching her.
The fear of the unknown continued to spread, and it made her feel clueless as to what to do next.
This was the second time she felt this close to death. The snowy night when Tom Sullivan dumped her was the other time.
Just as her fear rose to the extreme, the surroundings suddenly became bright.
The seventh room in the underground palace came into sight.
Xyla’s body dangled a few meters above the white jade coffin.
She continued to shift her gaze around. Soon, her attention returned to the coffin.
At that moment, she could see a beautiful woman with a crown over her head lying in the coffin, smiling at Xyla.
She even winked at her.
The scene had appeared so suddenly that Xyla suddenly found it hard to process in her mind.
Utter fear devoured Xyla completely.
Her scalp felt even more numb now.
“Ahh!”
Xyla screamed before carefully turning to look at the woman.
The woman’s clothes and accessories were the same ones initially worn by the skeletal remains in the coffin.
