Later, David’s dog detects a secret hideout cell attached to the cabin, and the group gets into the cell to discover it. The group found that the cell hosted multiple cat corpses, a double-barreled shotgun, and a secured book named Naturom Demonto. This is the very book that was used in the ritual in the first place. Eric finds a verse with caution that says the passage will open the door to hell, and the demon will step into the human world. Ignoring the caution, Eric reads the passage aloud, and it summons a demonic force that begins to haunt Mia.
