{You furrowed your brows. The once-clear alignments and reasoning became shrouded in confusion again after discovering the contents on the old phone.}
{The shocking results were difficult to process.}
{After a long while, you finally pulled yourself out of your stunned state and decided to temporarily set aside your suspicions about Mom.}
{You looked at the whistle you had taken from the scout's body. No matter what role Mom played, facts would speak louder than guesses, especially her reaction to an unexpected crisis.}
{You brought the whistle to your lips and blew.}
{The stillness of the deep night was shattered by the sudden sound of a rooster crowing. You picked up the scout's binoculars and observed your home and the neighborhood, especially paying close attention to Mom's reaction.}
{From your vantage point, you had a clear view of your house. The binoculars had high magnification and night vision, giving you a perfect image of the scene.}
{The house was completely silent. Despite the rooster crowing, Dad, Mom, and your sister showed no reaction. It seemed none of them understood the meaning behind that sound.}
{At the same time, from the cars parked below your building, a mass of people surged out. They were dark silhouettes carrying baseball bats and various weapons.}
{They all wore masks, their faces concealed. Judging by their movement, they were heading straight for your unit.}
{Inside your home, Dad, Mom, and your sister remained fast asleep, seemingly unaware of the danger approaching.}
{The intruders took the elevator and left four men at the stairwell to prevent anyone from escaping.}
{With no one else using the elevator that late at night, it quickly reached the 18th floor. The intruders exited and made their way to your door.}
{They used tools, probably wire, to quietly unlock the front door.}
{The intruders slipped silently into your home. Dad, Mom, and your sister were still sound asleep.}
{Then the attackers rushed into each room, immediately subduing Dad, Mom, and your sister.}
{Awakened by the sudden chaos, your family was thrown into panic.}
{Dad angrily demanded to know what they were doing.}
{One of the intruders punched Dad hard in the stomach, making him double over in pain and unable to speak.}
{Mom, terrified, rushed to check on Dad, while demanding to know what they wanted.}
{The intruders remained silent, dragging your family out of their rooms and tying them up.}
{Meanwhile, other intruders began searching the house.}
{The leader of the group noticed your absence and frowned. He ordered some of his men to look for you and questioned Dad and Mom about your whereabouts.}
{They both shook their heads, claiming they didn't know. Your sister also denied knowing anything. They all seemed genuinely frightened and confused as to why these people had stormed in.}
{Then Dad's face suddenly changed. He perhaps realized something.}
{Mom and your sister followed with the same expression. They all seemed to have guessed that these people were likely sent by the mastermind.}
{Your sister began yelling for help. Dad called for the Female Ghost, but they had barely opened their mouths before being struck again. The intruders silenced them with duct tape. Dad, in particular, was beaten ruthlessly.}
{In Mom's room, the intruders discovered her jewelry box and found the receipts with different names written on them.}
{They questioned your parents about the origin of the receipts.}
{Dad and Mom insisted they didn't know.}
{The leader grew furious. He cursed them for being stubborn and delivered another brutal round of punches and kicks.}
{Dad threw himself over Mom to protect her, taking all the blows himself.}
{Watching this, your sister's eyes widened. Blood-red markings began to appear on her skin.}
{The intruders didn't notice the changes. They continued beating your parents, demanding answers.}
{Your parents shook their heads, refusing to speak.}
{The intruders threatened them, saying if they didn't talk, they'd sell your sister next.}
{The blood-red markings on your sister intensified until she completely mutated. The ropes binding her snapped in an instant.}
{The intruders were startled and backed away cautiously, staring at her in shock.}
{One of them tried to strike her from behind with a steel pipe.}
{Without even turning around, your sister casually swung her arm, snapping the pipe in half with her bare hand.}
{The intruders froze in place, completely dumbfounded. No one dared move.}
{But the mutated sister charged into them like a tiger in a flock of sheep, unleashing carnage. The thugs who were so dominant moments ago were now reduced to pulp by a single slap each.}
{Terrified, the remaining intruders scattered in all directions.}
{Dad and Mom stared at your sister in stunned disbelief.}
{Your sister rushed toward them, raising her clawed hand for a strike.}
{They screamed in horror, calling her name again and again.}
{Just as her monstrous claws were about to strike, she froze.}
{The mutated sister desperately wanted to rip them apart, but a force within her stopped her.}
{After a moment of inner struggle, she let out a furious roar and dashed out, smashing through the metal door.}
{The Female Ghost emerged from the mirror and chased after her.}
{Your parents stood frozen, staring in the direction they vanished, unable to process what had just happened.}
{Then, you saw a chilling gleam in your parents' eyes... and the corners of their mouths curling into a strange smile.}
