"Sister, forgive me, I no longer have a way to sit in front of the bed and communicate with you like before, when you see this letter, I may have already gone to hell and be talking to the devil."
"I often tell you that I hope to go to heaven, but when I write this letter, I know that I might only be able to go to hell."
"I'm sorry, you must be very sad now, sad for my Death, but I have to tell you, all of this is worth it, and now, you don't have time to be sad, there is something you must do to make my Death not in vain."
"Our parents have been sending me to this mental hospital for 16 years, and I have lived here for a very long time, understand every brick and every tile here, but just about two years ago, a group of people came here and called themselves geologists, they came here to explore the underground water structure of Metropolis."
"At first, I was very interested in their project, because I didn't have the opportunity to go to school, and they all had received higher education, I liked to talk to them, they could teach me a lot that I didn't know."
"I met a very good friend, her name is Intis, she graduated from Metropolis University, which is the university of my dreams."
"But, I was too familiar with this hospital, to the point where I discovered some flaws, I found out that they were not actually researching the underground water structure of Metropolis, but doing more evil experiments."
"I can't understand, what they are actually doing, but I know they opened a laboratory underground, for conducting some chemical experiments, they might be trying to put the experiment results into the underground water, and then contaminate all the citizens of Metropolis."
"When you see this letter, I should have already died, but what might make you very sad and disappointed is that, yes, I committed suicide, and the purpose is to let you come here, and then expose this terrible conspiracy, and save those innocent citizens."
"The matter still has to be told from about two weeks ago, the researcher who had a very good relationship with me, Intis, suddenly rushed into my hospital room one night, she was very injured, on the verge of death, she told me, she was actually a Soviet Union spy, who had infiltrated this mysterious organization and became one of their members."
"And just on that night, she finally got the Important Research Materials, which contained the formula of that mysterious chemical medicine, she no longer had a way to transmit this intelligence, so she handed the materials to me."
"She didn't ask me to send the intelligence back to the Soviet Union, she only requested me, I must prevent this conspiracy and not let innocent citizens suffer."
"She died in my hospital room, I pretended to sleep, my head buried in the pillow, no one could see my tears, they didn't care about me, so I escaped that calamity."
"The majority of my life has been spent in this mental hospital, I never went to school, nor did I have any friends, I never completed anything, but I know, I must complete this thing."
"But I don't have any other way, I'm not an agent, I haven't received training, I can't leave this mental hospital, and the only way to expose the information is to bring you here..."
"I can't easily communicate with you, even can't call on the phone, they monitor everything in this city, more terrifying than you can imagine, so I can only use this method to tell you everything."
"I know that you are an excellent detective, you will definitely investigate my death scene repeatedly, so you will definitely find this letter."
"My dear sister, if you see this, I must tell you, don't be impulsive, because what you see is just the tip of the iceberg."
"They rule this city, can see every person, hear every word, everyone here is their prey."
"Find enough allies, find enough evidence, and only then can you compete with them. If you feel that you cannot accomplish all of this, then take this letter and leave this place, the farther away you go, the better... Get away from here."
"Always love you, your sister, Isabella Dodge, the end of the letter."
"Pop" came the sound, Bruce folded the letter, placed it back into the envelope, and then put the envelope back into its original position, covering the wooden board again.
"The situation is even worse than we imagined." Bruce, who wrote the letter, understood the situation more than Isabella. He said, "Although this is a suburban area, it is not far from the central district of Metropolis, and it is a regular mental hospital."
"To conduct geological exploration here, even to establish an independent chemical laboratory, requires multiple layers of approval and funding. At the same time, the head of the Central Bank and the boss of Pailocompany are both aware of this. Their business may be to provide funding for this laboratory."
"This means, just as Isabella wrote in the letter, a mysterious organization rules this city, politics, economy, and culture... they are everywhere."
Bruce turned his head to look out the window at the bustling city of Metropolis, with its countless lights, but beneath the surface, the city was not as bright as it seemed. Hidden within it was a deeper darkness. He muttered to himself, "Owls..."
Following his gaze, a car slowly stopped outside the wall of the mental hospital. Constantine and Angela got out of the car and walked away, with Constantine jumping onto the car's engine cover and covering his eyes with one hand, looking towards the mental hospital.
"Are you sure this is the place? I feel like this place looks more like a military district than a mental hospital."
Angela pulled out her handgun and looked towards the courtyard, saying, "That's not right. When I came before, this place was just a regular hospital. There weren't so many guards. Where did these people come from?"
"No matter where they came from, we must cross over them to get into the hospital." Constantine jumped down from the car, checking his windbreaker's breast pocket to make sure all of the exorcism tools were with him. He said, "Go ahead and go in first. I need to see the scene to determine what kind of demon we are dealing with."
But just then, Angela turned around, alert, with her hands raised and her gun pointed at a direction. The headlights illuminated the ivy, casting flickering shadows. Another car arrived, stopped when it saw people ahead, and someone emerged from the driver's seat, also holding a gun.
The two parties faced each other, and Angela quickly recognized the other side. It was a woman, dressed and groomed very sharply, but she didn't look like a police officer. When the person on the other side saw them, they raised their handgun and said, "Who are you? What are you doing here?"
"We were about to ask you the same thing." Angela held her gun with one hand and pulled out her badge with the other, saying, "Metropolis Police Station detective, we are working on a case. Who are you?"
But who would have thought, the other person also pulled out their credentials, shining them, saying, "Federal Investigation Bureau Agent, Kayla, I am also working on a case."
Both parties confirmed the authenticity of the evidence and both sides put away their handguns. Kayla walked up and shook hands with Angela, saying, "Officer Dodge, I have heard of your reputation. What are you investigating here?"
"In the previous serial murder case, there were witnesses who revealed some intelligence related to this place, but the specific details are being kept confidential for now."
"I understand." Kayla replied, then without waiting for Angela to ask, she continued, "We have an Agent who went missing near here, so I came to investigate. The specifics are also confidential."
Angela and Constantine exchanged glances, and Angela asked, "Is the location you are investigating inside the hospital?"
"Correct. The last message from that Agent was sent from a hospital room in this mental hospital." Kayla nodded.
"A missing federal agent? This must be a pretty big deal. Why not simply seal off the place?" Constantine asked with a frown.
"It's a confidential mission." Kayla simply replied. Angela nudged Constantine with her elbow and then said to Kayla, "Since that's the case, we can cooperate. We are also on a secret mission. Where do you need to go?"
"4th or 5th floor." Kayla frowned.
"Alright, we are also going to the 4th floor." Angela turned around and said, "Let's go in and talk."
They arrived at a side gate, and the female agent and female detective climbed over the wall. After a while, Angela's head appeared from over the wall, looking at Constantine on the other side and saying, "What are you doing? Hurry up!"
"I... "Constantine stretched out a hand, comparing the top and bottom of the wall, then drew a line across his forehead. After retreating two steps, he observed the overall structure of the wall.
Angela wore a look of helplessness, and after a while, Kayla also climbed to the top of the wall, looking at Constantine who couldn't jump up and say to Angela, "Your colleague, is he a bit... "
"Hurry up!" Angela said through gritted teeth. Constantine sighed, then glanced at Kayla, and said, "Forget it, you just wait here and cover our rear."
Angela said to Kayla, "Let's go in, don't expect anything from him."
After making sure their two figures had completely disappeared, Constantine used teleportation to get over the wall and then cast a concealment magic on himself. He walked through the guards and also entered the hospital.
He successfully met up with Angela on the 4th floor and Angela said to Constantine, "That Agent went to the 4th floor of another building. I will take you to my sister's hospital room."
After entering the hospital room, Constantine keenly caught a whiff of blood. He tried to stop Angela, but Angela walked straight in, turning back to say to Constantine, "I know, you probably smell the blood here, right? My sister committed suicide by slitting her wrists, so there are some traces of blood left in the hospital room that couldn't be completely removed."
"Grief." Constantine said while he began investigating the corners of the room, Angela, who was immersed in the sorrowful atmosphere, tried to find something to do and started to investigate the site of the discovery.
When Angela came to investigate for the first time, she was too overcome with grief to concentrate, only taking a cursory look before getting in the car with her sister's body and leaving.
This time, when she re-investigated, she turned over every corner and discovered the letter hidden under the bottom of the cabinet.
The letter that had been re-glued had lost most of its adhesive, and when Angela found it, the envelope had already fallen to the bottom of the cabinet. Angela bent down and looked under the cabinet, and just as she saw the envelope, she picked it up.
She took out the letter and then stood there, then like a madwoman, she tore open the envelope and began to read its contents. Then, she covered her mouth and began crying uncontrollably.
Constantine noticed her abnormal behavior and came over, also looking towards the letter. After reading the contents, his face changed.
"Wait a minute, did your sister really commit suicide or was she taken away by the Demon?!" Constantine raised his voice.
Angela was grief-stricken, crying helplessly on the ground, but Constantine used an extremely hard attitude to pull her up and then dragged her to the center of the room. Angela looked at him, and Constantine's expression was very serious, he said,
"I told you before, I am also the other half of a twin, so I know that the Demon will give the same curse to twins, and then choose one of their souls to take away, just when they turn 27."
Then, he turned his head to look at Angela and said, "But there is one other scenario. If the chosen soul leaves prematurely, that is, if they die before they are 27...
"Then, the curse on them will be transferred to their brother or sister, which means that you and I are now equally burdened with a double curse."
"Then... what will happen?" Angela asked in a choked voice.
Constantine didn't need to answer, as Angela had already seen it. The walls of the entire room suddenly began to distort.
Countless shadows crawled up from the roots of the walls, the cabinets, tables, and bed all began to shake. Constantine pulled a Bible out of his pocket, and Angela pulled out her gun, the two of them stood back to back in the center of the room, and Constantine growled in a low voice,
"Get ready! They're coming!
