The person came from the bathroom, and she was scared after seeing what was inside.

"There's someone dead inside one of the bathrooms! It-It does not have any blood! It 's like a mummy!" She yelled.

The person had a different type of robe and mask, not looking similar to anyone present in the building.

It was the leader of that cult, the person with the highest authority.

The cultist leader looked at the girl who had just spoken and said, "Can you show me the corpse, please?"
