Chapter 428: 428: A Pitch Black Expanse
“What is it exactly?”
At this moment, Luke was very curious about it too, knowing that they had been here for a long time already and couldn’t afford to waste any more time.
So right now, he enthusiastically said.
“I don’t know, let me open it and take a look.”
Everyone held their breath and stared at the letter in his hand, wanting to find out very much.
After opening it, however, he discovered that it contained only a blank sheet of paper.
This made them feel quite stifled.
Why would this be?
They originally thought that there must be something amazing inside, but now it seemed that all their expectations had fallen through.
How could this not be a heavy blow for them?
Everyone couldn’t help sighing deeply, feeling utterly helpless about this. If they could, they wouldn’t want things to happen this way.
“Oh my goodness. I didn’t expect there to be nothing.”
At the side, Suri couldn’t help but shake her head and speak.
She hadn’t expected at all that there would just be a blank sheet of paper inside. Even a little bit of news would have been something good for her, but there was nothing.
And Yigol at the side naturally nodded in agreement right away too. His thoughts were exactly the same as his wife’s.
But now, it seemed that he could only focus his attention on other things.
Soon after, Price beside them started to think carefully.
He knew that there wasn’t anything worth looking at here, so they must consider if there was anything elsewhere.
At this moment, he seemed to think of something, then walked over to the curtains next to the window.
When everyone saw him looking like this, they felt strange and didn’t know what he was up to.
Usually, if he were doing something, he would let everyone know in advance, but now he didn’t say anything and just walked over to the curtains by himself, causing everyone to feel somewhat puzzled.
“What’s going on? What are you doing?”
After hearing Suri’s words, he finally spoke up.
“I want to see what kind of environment we are in right now and whether there is anything we want to see outside.”
His face seemed very serious, as if he was trying hard to verify his guess. Is it correct or not?
At this moment, when he opened the curtains, he found that it was pitch black outside and there was nothing.
This made everyone feel quite astonished as well.
At this point, when everyone saw him opening the curtains, they all wanted to know what he was trying to do, so they immediately came to his side. But when they saw this scene, they couldn’t quite accept it.
How come there was nothing at all?
Originally, they thought that maybe the window outside could provide them with some guidance.
If they could see anything, then they could use it as a condition to attract others’ attention and get rescued.
But now it seems that there is nothing, and it is pitch black outside the window. This made him feel very strange, and he has no idea what is going on.
Everyone glanced at one another, and their eyes were filled with confusion. There was no way to solve this problem at the moment.
After a while, they finally came back to their senses from their thoughts. Suri took the initiative to speak and broke the silence in the room.
“It seems that we really were overthinking it. I think the outside probably isn’t the original corridor either, but another one of those secret passages.”
At first, they were worried that if they opened the door, they would be discovered by others.
But now it seems that since there is only darkness outside the window, they are not in the original hotel room. It’s just a room that was made to look exactly like the original hotel room.
After hearing these words, Yigol next to her fully agreed too. No matter what, he always unconditionally supports his wife.
“Then why don’t we just open it now and not waste any more time here?”
After carefully thinking it over for a moment, he finally spoke out these words.
However, when they heard this sentence, everyone held an opposing stance.
No matter what, they couldn’t gamble with their own lives.
At this point, they were very cautious, fearing that any mistake might occur. If they got it wrong, they’d be highly likely to get caught by those men in black. Who knows what the situation will be if that happened.
Therefore, they couldn’t just easily open the door.
“I think it’s better not to open it so easily. Let’s first look around in this room and see if there are any other clues.”
Price uttered at the side.
His face was very serious too, and it was clear that this was a result of deep contemplation.
Had it not been for their previous experiences, he would not have been so careful. They had already experienced so much and solved so many difficult problems. If something went wrong at this critical moment, he would also feel very upset.
The more such times, the more cautious he would be.
After hearing these words, Luke couldn’t help but nod his head lightly.
Although he still wanted to go out and see his sister quickly, he had to know what kind of environment this place was in.
If they guessed wrong, they might encounter those men in black after leaving, and those people had already let them go once; there was no way they would let them escape easily this time.
So, if they got caught by those men, the situation would be even worse, and they certainly didn’t want to see that happen.
Since they all voiced their opinions, Yigol didn’t have anything else to say. He had no objection and felt it was better to listen to everyone.
And their words indeed made some sense.
Therefore, he nodded lightly and said.
“Alright, let’s keep searching then. And everyone, don’t be too anxious.”
