But just at this moment, the figure of the air marshal running came to a sudden halt as if something had seized him from behind with brute force.
He had only gotten halfway through his sentence when a blood-curdling scream pierced the air. The flashlight in his hand dropped to the ground, and the man was dragged back into the darkness, without a sound following thereafter.
Soon after, the flashlight lying on the ground flickered off, never to light up again.
"Ah... Ah... Ah..."
In the darkness, a series of hoarse, strange noises emerged, as though something was obstructing the throat from which they came.
Then the entire cargo hold fell into silence.
About three minutes later, the indicator light at the elevator began to show an ascent.
Shortly after the letter "A" appeared, the indicator changed to show the elevator descending, quickly transitioning to "B" level.
