X Chapter 376 Testing the Waters Chapter 376 Testing the Waters "Hmun?" Elain responded casually. 15 Fue Coles Samantha's tone sharpened. "The cave is huge. How did you manage to fall straight into the underground chamber beneath it? A location that remote-you wouldn't have just stumbled on it by chance unless..." Elain shifted uncomfortably under Samantha's gaze, a nervous flicker crossing her face. "Unless what?" "Unless you stepped right into the entrance connected to the basement." Elain let out a breath, as if relieved. "You're right. The moment I stepped inside, I hit the entrance. I couldn't believe my luck-of all things, I had to step into that hidden doorway." Samantha, however, wasn't convinced. Her voice took on a sterner edge. "But I told you not to go in there, didn't I? Why didn't you listen? If you hadn't gone in, none of this would have happened.
Elain sighed, trying to explain herself. "I thought the killer might have hidden body parts inside the cave- it was so secluded, after all. And it was getting late.

Samantha's mind raced with questions.
First, how did Elain fall into the basement without a single injury? Given the killer's twisted nature, he wouldn't have just tied her up without leaving a mark.
Second, how does Elain know exactly where every body part is located? As we walked together, she found nearly all of them. How could she pinpoint the locations of the remains the police missed? It's like she had prior knowledge, which makeswonder if she was involved in their disposal.
Third, and this is the most troubling part, how did the killer reach such a high entrance of the cave without a ladder to knockunconscious? The more Samantha thought about it, the more unsettling it became..
Perhaps something has been off about her from the very beginning. While all my classmates are scared, she's completely fearless. Then, because of her, I start searching for body parts with her and end up finding so many.
