Katelyn had always known the world held darkness, but seeing this firsthand made her hands tremble.
The cruelty of humans could often surpass that of demons.
Vincent glanced at her, rose from his seat, and poured her a glass of warm water from the bedside table.
“These organizations will eventually be dismantled.” His words, though simple, carried a soothing reassurance.
Katelyn took the warm water from him, sipping it slowly, feeling the coldness inside her gradually melt away. She met Vincent’s gaze, her eyes filled with resolve, and said firmly, “They will be.”
Though she knew there was little she could do at that moment, soon she would put an end to such vile organizations.
Vincent placed a comforting hand on her shoulder.
“Let’s begin.”
Katelyn nodded, refocusing on her task. Her fingers flew across the keyboard with remarkable precision. A faint smile tugged at her lips as she said in a measured tone, “Found it.”
On the screen, a black progress bar inched forward. In just a few seconds, the precise location would be revealed.
Three, two, one!
But just as the bar was about to complete, a sudden flash of white light blinked across the screen.
The progress bar on the screen disappeared in an instant, dragging the entire website down with it.
.com hosts great stories
Katelyn’s expression shifted dramatically. Her fingers flew across the keyboard, desperately clinging to the last shred of hope.
Yet, the website crumbled right before her eyes, vanishing as if it had never existed.
Katelyn explored the entire network. There was no trace left!
Despite her relentless search, the perpetrators had completely hidden their tracks, clearly having prepared thoroughly. It was no surprise that such a website had managed to exist for so long. They had orchestrated everything meticulously to destroy it without a trace.
Leaning back against the hospital bed, Katelyn covered her forehead with a hand, a sense of defeat washing over her.
“It’s gone.”
Had she been just a bit faster, she would have claimed all the information she needed.
Vincent’s eyes flickered with concern, and he instinctively reached out to caress Katelyn’s head gently, his voice soft.
