Stop Dr. Devarous Before He Reaches the Secret Floor
Read Aloud
You push past the bleach stink and find the hospital below the hospital. Steel tables, coded charts, and blood-smeared notes line the walls. Dr. Devarous is here, gloves on, calm as a clerk, and he is not trying to hide the fact that he has already started.
