Chapter 260

The space beneath had been hollowed out. Inside the square storage compartment lay a notebook. Its cover was completely worn away, and its pattern was unrecognizable. Years of being buried underground had even left traces of mold on it. "Did you bring me here for this?" Elara asked. No.17 looked up at her, his round, green eyes brimming with affection. Elara fell silent. What exactly was he trying to tell her? She flipped open the notebook, only to realize it was a diary. "July 17th. School was locked down for a day because of the tsunami. Days of heavy rain finally caused the bridge to collapse just as people were crossing it. Many travelers' cars are now trapped inside." "July 18th. The crimson moon. It's the crimson moon again…" "July 19th. I saw that person take Anna away. What should I do? Who can I turn to for help?" "July 21st. Anna… Anna, she…" "July 23rd. … I think I've discovered the basement's secrets." Elara skimmed through a few pages before closing the diary.
