Chapter 391 Buried Voices

The police had arrived.

Lily knew she was about to be saved.

“What’s going on?”

Their village was so remote, police never came around. Hearing sirens outside made both men wary and confused.

Soon after, they heard the heavy thud of a door being kicked open.

Clearly, the officers had forced their way through the front gate.

Realizing what was happening, their expressions turned grim.

From the basement, sounds from above could still be faintly–heard.

Footsteps grew closer. Lily wasn’t about to waste this chance to scream for help.

She no longer pretended she was still restrained. Instead, she leapt up and rushed toward the basement stairs.

As she ran, she shouted, “Help! I’m Lily! I’m in the basement! Mmph-!”

Ben lunged forward and clamped a hand over her mouth and nose.

From below, they could hear the movements above, but it was almost impossible for surface to hear what was happening in the basement.

The officers outside didn’t hear Lily’s cries.

They searched every room, but of course, they found no trace of her.

“The signal clearly says this yard. Why isn’t Lily here?”

The basement entrance was far too well–hidden, too expertly camouflaged.

The officers never noticed it. And since they were assuming she must be on the ground floor, their faces were full of confusion.

“Maybe the signal’s a bit off. Could she be in another villager’s house?”

“Possible.”

I’m in the basement! Please help me!

The footsteps were growing faint. Lily was shaking with panic.

Ben’s grip over her face was too tight–she could only let out muffled whimpers.

Ben and Jerry were wiry and lean, but clearly very strong.

She knew the utility knife in her hand wouldn’t be enough against either of them.

Worse, if she provoked them too much, they’d punish her even more brutally.

But if the police left and didn’t find her in any other house, they might assume the tracking signal was wrong–and leave the village entirely.

If that happened, she’d never escape these mountains for the rest of her life.

This was her only chance. Even if it killed her, she had to try.

She seized a moment of distraction and plunged the knife hard into Ben’s stomach.

Before he could react, she stabbed him again.

“Bitch!”

Ben had never suffered a hit like that in his life.

He slapped her hard across the face.

But in doing so, he let go–giving her back her freedom.

Lily screamed at the top of her lungs. “Help! I—”

Jerry lunged like a mad dog and clamped his hand over her face.

Lily struggled wildly, raising the knife to slash at him.

But Jerry was far more agile than Ben. She only managed to cut his arm before he ripped the knife from her hands and flung it away.

“You bitch! You hurt my brother–I’ll kill you!”

Jerry tightened one hand over her mouth and the other around her throat.

He hissed through gritted teeth, “You see that skeleton in the corner? That’s what happens when you don’t behave.”
