Chapter 467: 467: The Critical Point
Since he didn’t have a deep understanding of what was going on, he couldn’t easily make a decision at this moment.
If possible, he wished that the others around him could clear up his doubts.
They had never encountered something like this before, so they were all somewhat confused. Now, they needed some time to figure out what was going on.
“Perhaps, but what we need to do now is find the mechanism, if there really is one that can open the door,” said Price, speaking quite seriously, because he knew how critical the situation was.
Regardless, he had to look for it.
Once he had said that, everyone began searching again with determination.
He definitely couldn’t afford to be lax in handling these matters; hewanted to complete the task properly.
If there was even a hint of slack, many things might happen that could be beyond their imagination. They wouldn’t allow such a thing to happen no matter what.
Instead, they hoped that they could handle everything properly.
And it was at that moment that Suri Drew noticed something crucial.
It seemed that she saw something strange protruding from the side.
At first, she didn’t pay much attention, but upon closer inspection, she saw that the entire wall was very smooth, with only this one spot inexplicably sticking out.
So she exclaimed excitedly to those around her.
“What do you think this is?”
Upon hearing this, everyone’s eyes filled with surprise, having no idea what she had discovered.
They all turned to look in Suri’s direction, not knowing if she had found something.
It might be that they were not used to the darkness, and couldn’t adapt to this new environment in such a short time.
Moreover, there was a strong, unpleasant smell inside that made them very uncomfortable. If they continued to stay here, it would be a huge torment to them.
Nonetheless, they knew what they had to do – leave this miserable place as quickly as possible and go on with their plans.
Everyone hurried to Suri’s side, and she raised her hand to point to the spot she had just found, explaining her discovery.
“The entire wall is very flat, but I don’t know why this part is protruding.”
Upon hearing this, everyone finally understood why this particular spot was different from the rest of the wall.
However, they still couldn’t be sure about it based on this discovery alone.
Everyone’s faces grew serious as they examined the protrusion, not knowing how to deal with it.
Then it was Price, who finally raised his hand, pointing to the object, and said,
“What if I press it? Perhaps it could trigger a mechanism.”
Before anyone could respond, he pressed it down.
Everything happened so suddenly that they didn’t expect it to actually trigger the mechanism.
Without exchanging words, they watched as a door suddenly appeared in front of them, and receded into the wall.
This amazed them.
For a moment, they couldn’t believe what they were seeing, it seemed impossible.
They looked at each other, mouths agape, but in the end, no one uttered a word because they didn’t know what to say under these circumstances.
It was only after a while that Suri finally broke the silence in the room.
“What are you waiting for? Let’s go over there.”
Upon hearing this, everyone finally snapped out of their thoughts. They knew they couldn’t pass up this opportunity; they needed to get to the other side quickly and see what kind of world awaited them there.
At this moment, everyone’s gaze turned more resolute, and they walked towards the other side of the room, determined to see what awaited them.
As they stepped through, they found that the other side was a brightly lit room.
Not only that, but it seemed to be decorated just like the hotel.
This made them feel even stranger, wondering why this was the case.
Originally, they had thought that they could step outside and see the light, but now it didn’t seem like that at all.
It seemed like they still needed to solve this matter.
Upon seeing this scene, Suri couldn’t help but sigh heavily.
“I thought we could get out, but it seems that’s not the case.”
The others nodded without hesitation. They also thought they could get out at this point, but it wasn’t as simple as they had imagined; this was not the true exit.
They had visited many rooms similar to this before, making various discoveries.
However,none of the discoveries helped them escape successfully.
While they saw this as both a good and a bad thing,
Ultimately, the key to them was leaving – no matter what, they all wanted to escape from this place, not stay here indefinitely.
Without hesitation, the others chimed in,
“Yeah, it looks like this might be a completely different world.”
Seeing how discouraged Suri was, Yigol stepped forward, tightly squeezing her hand, and spoke gently.
“Don’t worry, I’m still here with you, right?”
Upon hearing those words, Suri’s heart felt a little better. At the beginning, she had felt helpless and unsure of how to deal with many things.
But now, everything was different.
She had friends with her, and her husband by her side. This was different from facing everything alone.
