Ben drove through the darkness. He could no longer drive with the same calm he had at the beginning of the journey.
Just as Dante had done when entering the forest, Ben began looking in every direction, alert for anything that might appear.
In this state of concentration, he remembered something he had overlooked.
He hadn't received a single evil point for killing that vile creature.
"Jie jie jie."
Almost as if it could hear his thoughts, the same peculiar laugh of the creature echoed from all directions.
In the darkness of the forest, Ben felt like he was being watched.
Maybe it was his imagination, but every time he turned his head, he felt like he saw those black eyes full of malice.
"Jie jie jie jie."
The laughter echoed through the forest, accompanied by what sounded like screams and moans of pain.
