Black void. An endless dark space stretching in every direction. No ground. No sky. No sound. Just emptiness.
A voice echoes, "Where am I? Is anyone here? I'm alone… someone please come…"
The voice echoes, but the echo does not return.
Scene shifts to a hospital. Heavy rain is pouring outside but It is the month of April peak summer— so rain is very rare. The date is 25 April 2005. Inside the maternity ward, tension filled in the air.A child is born but something is wrong. The baby did not cry. "Why isn't he crying?" a nurse whispers nervously.
The doctor lifts the newborn carefully. The baby's eyes are open.
Wide open.
At that exact moment, lightning strikes the top of the hospital building. Despite proper earthing, the power supply suddenly cuts off. No one understands what is happening. Emergency lights turn on and begin to flicker as if something is touching them. Inside the room, an unpleasant smell spreads. The temperature suddenly drops, yet everyone starts sweating.
The doctor feels as if someone is standing behind him. He quickly turns around — no one is there. But when he looks forward again, he sees a shadow moving rapidly toward him. Before he can react, the shadow touches him, the doctor shuts his eyes and collapses.
Nurses rush to support him. When he regains consciousness, he says that someone was there. No one believes him. They assume it was a hallucination becauss of stress and improper sleep. Suddenly, baby begins laughing while staring at the corner of the room. The laughter echoes in the silent room. Everyone get frightened because the newborn baby has not cried even once but he is laughing. Now doctor slowly moves toward the corner of the room.
His face turns pale. Sweat rolls down his forehead and his heartbeat becomes rapid. When he pulls the curtain aside —nothing no one is there. He forces a nervous laugh, pretending everything is completely fine, but inside he is terrified.
Nurses and helpers try to calm themselves, suddenly a metallic box falls behind the doctor and due the sound of metallic box he losses consciousness again.
Then something appears behind him — a demonic shadow. Its eyes glow intensely. Its body looks like a moving black flame, releasing a powerful dark aura that fills the room. Seeing this, everyone loses consciousness in the room. Absolute silence fills the room, it is as if nothing ever happened.
The newborn baby's soft laughter echoes through the room. The demon slowly starts walking toward the baby. The weather suddenly becomes calm. The rain stops. Moonlight enters through the window, falling directly on the baby and demon.
As the demon reaches the baby, a strange wind begins blowing. Curtains start moving. The demon stretches its hand toward the child.
At that very moment, someone from outside turns the door handle and slowly opens the gate. But inside the room, no one is visible — except the metallic box lying on the floor. The person picks up the box and walks toward the gallery.
Suddenly, the demon emerges rapidly from the room behind. When it turns around — no one is there .
Then, beside Room Number 665, a door appears…
Room Number 666.
