Victor's Secret
Ethan stared at the screen."The man behind Marcus...""That's Victor."Ethan immediately ran toward the entrance.Sophia followed."Wait!"But he didn't stop.The outer doors opened.Cold air swept through the corridor.Outside, Marcus was already walking toward a black vehicle.Victor stood beside him.His hands weren't tied.He wasn't injured.He wasn't being dragged.He was walking willingly.Ethan shouted,"Victor!"Victor turned.For a moment, their eyes met.Something strange passed across Victor's face.Regret.Fear.Then he looked away.Marcus opened the vehicle door.Ethan rushed forward."Stop!"Marcus turned calmly."I wondered how long it would take you."Ethan stopped several meters away."What is Victor doing with you?"Victor looked at him."I can explain.""Then explain."Victor hesitated.Marcus looked at him."Go ahead."V
The Woman Behind the Door
Chapter 35: "Ethan..." The voice came again. Soft. Faint. Almost like a memory. But Ethan knew it. His mother's voice. He stood frozen before the Guardian Vault. For years, he had convinced himself that he had accepted her death. He had buried the memories. He had learned to live without her. And now, after all these years, that familiar voice had returned. "Ethan..." He stepped toward the door. Sophia immediately caught his arm. "Wait." Ethan looked at her. "That's my mother." "You don't know that." "I know her voice." Sophia didn't release him. "And we just learned that someone may be manipulating the Guardian network." Ethan's expression tightened. She was right. Everything surrounding the Vault was suspicious. M
The Woman in the Photograph
Chapter 34: Ethan didn't sleep. He spent the entire night sitting in the control room. The words continued repeating in his mind. Your mother never died. It was impossible. At least, that's what he had always believed. He remembered the funeral. The flowers. The black clothes. His father's tears. The photograph placed beside the coffin. He remembered being told that she had died from an illness. He had been too young to understand. But now... Everything was suddenly questionable. At six in the morning, Sophia found him. She didn't say anything at first. She simply placed a cup of coffee beside him. Ethan looked up. "You heard." Sophia nodded. "I heard." "What do you think?" She sat beside him. "I think we need evidence." Ethan looked toward the screen. "I know." "Not hope." "Not rumors." "Evidence." He nodded. "You're right." Sophia smiled. "You're learning." Ethan gave her a tired look. "You say that a lot." "Because it's true." Grace entered t
The Door That Should Have Been locked
Chapter 33: Ethan couldn't move. For several seconds, he simply stared. Marcus Vale stood in the dimly lit warehouse as if he belonged there. His black coat was perfectly dry despite the rain outside. His expression was calm. Almost amused. And beside him stood Lily. But it wasn't Lily's presence that frightened Ethan the most. It was the fact that Marcus was standing inside the shelter's outer security zone. A place no outsider should have been able to enter. Sophia immediately stepped in front of Ethan, her spear glowing faintly. "Stay behind me." Marcus smiled. "Still protective, I see." Sophia's expression hardened. "How did you get inside?" Marcus didn't answer. Instead, he loo
The North District
Chapter 32: The city looked completely different at night.Streetlights illuminated empty roads.Most businesses had already closed.Cars moved occasionally through the streets.To anyone watching from a distance...Everything seemed normal.But Ethan knew better.The world was standing on the edge of something it couldn't see.He drove silently.Sophia sat beside him.For several minutes, neither spoke.Then Sophia broke the silence."You've been quiet.""I'm thinking.""About the Vault?""Partly.""And Marcus?""Mostly."Sophia looked out the window."You don't trust him.""No.""Do you trust the voice behind the door?"Ethan shook his head."No."Sophia smiled."Good."He looked at her."You agree with everything I say?""No.""Then why do you keep saying good?""Because you're finally learning not to trust everything you hear."Ethan laughed.
The Voice Behind the Door
Chapter 31: Darkness swallowed the Guardian Shelter.For several seconds, nobody moved.The only sound was the faint hum of the emergency generators struggling to activate.Ethan stood in front of the sealed Guardian Vault, staring at the ancient door.His heart was pounding.He knew that voice.There was no mistake.Kael.The man who had guided him in the other world.The man who had disappeared after their last encounter.The man Ethan believed he would never hear again.But if Kael was inside the Vault...Then what had Ethan been talking to all this time?"Ethan."Sophia's voice pulled him back to reality.He turned."Yes?""Are you certain that was Kael?"Ethan hesitated."No."Sophia frowned."You just said you recognized his voice.""I did.""But..."Ethan looked at the Vault."The Kael I knew was in another world.""That doesn't mean his voice couldn't be copied."
