David was tired from taking orders from Carlo. The only reason he accepted his command like the rest of them is because of these firearms in his hands. Once he lost them he would be no different than a defenceless monkey, it's a bit better now that the first person to check unknown is these two clowns not him. Running around the port and losing his men and seeing things that shouldn't have taken a huge toll on him, he needs a little bit of rest and a little bit of sleep but he also knows there's no rest for the devil.
He should have quit this job a long time ago, even if the pay is good but he doesn't even know if his family is still alive or fallen prey to these monsters outside. Or what James and these girls said about being in different world or realm is true but that's possibility is far more scarier than the first, but getting out of here is also another depressing question none of them any clue how to or what do to escape from here outside or to their world without getting detected by these monsters.
David hands the torch over to Johnson for the moment he felt the same as him as if Johnson could understand his inner struggles but that was a bit weird to him but he shakes off these thoughts as Carlo moves his firearms indicating to move inside with them. Carlo looks at James and the girls along with sea port workers as it's their turn to move inside.
James looks at all the girls' faces, he can tell that they don't want to move inside the hidden basement again after that bubble monster attack and everything that happened so far with them, as they are traumatized by the monster as how it devours humans. Even he is scared of seeing that monster again and even thinking about it, shivers run down his spine. No matter what happens he's not going to follow behind them inside when he doesn't even know where it would lead them too. As he saw many monsters beyond human wildest imagination.
"I won't go inside this hidden basement, no matter what you say." James said with a heavy heart and strong resolve to stand up against the this fucker, his not easy to bully target. He is pretty sure whatever they will find inside isn't going to be worth it.
"Oh, is that so no matter what happens." Carlo with a disappointed expression on his face as he aims his firearms muzzle at him then at the girls, he keeps moving his fingers around the trigger delicately as if it would pain him to pull the trigger.
'This fucking clown thinking his is hard-core gangster but he always been asshole clown, I hope he fucking die first by whatever fucking monster is hiding inside.' James keeps cursing with all the slurs he knows to Carlo, because despite already seeing monsters outside that wouldn't even die with the bullets, he is still leading them towards death again and again.
"To be honest, you should have listened to me. It's on you now."
BANG!!!
Thuddd!!!
Silence returned to the room after sharp gun fire sound resounded in the room with body falling on to the floor, As James looked at the corpse on the floor with wide opened eyes as the one who died wasn't defying Carlo order. David ran back upstairs as he heard the sound of gun fire, only to see Adrian dead with a bloody hole in his forehead.
"Why did you kill him?" David didn't move his eyes away from the corpses of his men, throughout working all this year many of them passed away but that was because they did something they were not meant to do but killing their men because they just felt like it wasn't something they could swallow down their throat.
"Oh, one of your dogs was breaking out loudly and forgot his place. I had to make an example, what happens when something like this happens in the future. Now he must bear the weight of guilt and regret all his life for what he has done." Carlo said as he looked straight into James eyes with a mocking smile on his lips, since the beginning he had his mind made up to kill one of them to make his position strong leader without being feared isn't a leader its just empty show off.
"Better start moving, if you don't want to see more dogs being put down." Carlo said out loud anger visible in his voice as he starts walking downstairs as he looked one last time at James and turning his around to see a shadowy figure of blond boy from the group sitting inside the darkness of the hidden room opening. Just as this little bitch walked inside the room he will fucking kill him with his own hands and ripped out his heart as he disobeyed his first command.
Yui placed her hand on James shoulder as he couldn't come out of the guilt of some being killed because of him, He didn't even realise as when Yui was standing beside him as he kept staring at the Adrian's lifeless face.
"We better start moving down stairs in the basement, if none of us want to lose their heads anymore." Yui looks at everyone's facial expression, none of them wants to follow behind these people into darkness again vivid memories of all the death they have seen flashback into their mind but the only difference this time was it was done by the humans.
Hillary stood up on her feet and walked down stairs inside the trap door followed by the remaining sea port worker, as the source of light started to disappear other girls also followed them behind as light is the one last thing they don't want to see disappear in this cursed world. Yui, James and Noah are the last three people left outside the trapdoor. Yui could feel the presence of a person still sitting on the floor just like James, both of them share different emotions at the moment but both of them aren't going to follow behind others.
As she starts to walk Yui lowers her gaze as she didn't know these two boys but still hoped that none of them would die here. "I hope, James you and Noah both of you, don't give up on yourself now. It must be really hard on you James to watch someone you know die because you defy the order of someone but given opportunity you can still get your revenge on him and remember his death is not on you."
James heard her words but didn't said anything but he made up his mind to kill Carlo. James looks at Adrian's face and closes his eyes with his hand and starts to follow behind the other, as the hidden room falls into complete darkness again. Seeing James disappear, a shadowy figure stood up from the ground and starts walking inside the hidden room with the loud sound of footsteps echoing inside.
As Johnson and Jaxon look at the big open cave it would be wrong to call it cave as its large hall carves out of the large rock, Jaxon aims the torch light around the walls. Inside the hall they saw one wooden shelf with different objects placed inside, unlike the room above this place, mostly empty except for one book on the floor. Jaxon picks up the book and looks at its cover that seems to be made from a human face. He was disgusted by the book but he has seen far share of objects made from human skin that rich bastards likes but this book is different.
Unlike the others book this book, the top edge, front edge and bottom edge are sewn by the old grey hair. It feels disgusting when they come in contact with your skin. Jaxon had enough of this weird ass aliens and cult shit in just one night, he was just here to make a big deal with his white powder supplies. "Johnson looked at this shit man, a book made from the man's skin and sewed the old ass hair. Who would have thought that we would be this deep inside the rabbit hole?"
"It's women's skin and hair." Johnson said with a soft smile on his lips.
"Dude, that's fucked up. I bet it's some poor virgin soul." Jaxon said while shaking his head as throughout the history most common human sacrifices have all been young virgin girls, and it still happens from time to time as cops caught these psycho cult leaders.
David stood behind them and saw the cover of the book, just as his eyes fell upon it, he felt extreme cold on the back of his neck and creepy and anxious in his heart. Jaxon kept on talking to himself like a madman as if he finally lost his shit in this nightmare and it would be their turn sooner or later as they lose their hope and become madman.
Carlo aims his torch light at Jaxon, Johnson and David as they explore the hall but it's just empty, Carlo walks into the centre of the hall and picks up the book thrown on the ground by Jaxon. He also felt disgusted just by holding the book but he didn't throw it away as it might be an important part of history. As he walks around the hall and notice the strange patter on the floor as made by a stonemason every single one of them seems to connect one another.
"Everyone gets in the corner and aims the torch light at the floor." Carlo said as he stood alone in one corner of the hall and aimed the light at the floor and just as he thought there's patterns are indeed connected as they make a big magic circle type pattern.
'Who on earth would believe in this stuff and make a magic circle or summon circle like this here, there's never been a case of a cult being present inside Promaxima before.'
