Chapter 906


    Everyone felt super awkward. How could they just leaven alone here? Butn just raised his hand


    and nced at his wristwatch. “Come back when the quake monitoring team tells ya it’s safe.”


    “But, sir.”

    When Maja woke up, all she could hear was the sound of water dripping, drip drop drip drop. It was


    especially clear in the silence. She tried to move, but the cave was too dark and there seemed to be a


    She coughed twice and noticed that the echo here was pretty loud. Where was this?


    She couldn’t see anything, but she knew she was in a cave and there were cameras around. She tried


    to walk but almost fell because of her injured foot.


    Suddenly, a mechanical voice asked, “Where’s the stuff Patric gave you? If you don’t tell me, I’ll leave


    you here forever.”


    The voice came from the direction of the camera. It was probably the person who brought her here.


    Maja had survived in worse conditions, with snakes and centipedes, but here it was just darkness, at


    least there weren’t any creepy crawlies. So, she didn’t get scared, she started feeling around the walls


    for an exit. But it was an enclosed space, no doors anywhere.


    The voice asked again, Where’s the thing? It’s not at RosenGarden. Is it at Rosewood Manor? Or have


    you hidden it somewhere else?”


    Maja suddenly remembered the surveince at RosenGarden, and a chill ran down her spine. Was it


    this guy? But she still didn’t know what this man looked like.


    “Who are you?”


    The man didn’t answer. The voice disappeared, and everything went quiet again.


    Maja knocked on every surface she could reach, but she got nothing, all the walls seemed solid, no


    way out.


    She looked up, and everything was pitch ck. If the way wasn’t on the sides or below, then it had to


    be above.


    Was this some kind of pit? No wonder she was having trouble breathing.


    She got tired of searching and just sat down somewhere, wondering if this guy really intended to keep

    her here. After who knew how long, she heard the man’s voice again. “There’ll be a quake in half an


    hour, estimated 6.5 magnitude. If you keep silent, you’ll die here.”


    Maja swallowed hard, just as she was about to speak, she heard some static in the speaker, thenn’s


    voice.


    “Maja?”


    “Maja!”


    Maja’s eyes widened in disbelief.n?


    n?”


    n!”


    She shouted at the red light of the surveince camera in the dark, not sure ifn could hear.


    In front of the surveince room, the man was gone. Ian’s voice wasing from outside. He didn’t


    realize this was a door. As all around were identical long corridors, the so–called door was hidden.


    After entering the mountain, he realized that this ce was full of secrets. It was in an area prone to


    earthquakes and rarely visited. These tunnels, after being dug out, were used for other purposes. Maja


    was sure she just heardn’s voice, but the walls were very slippery, and she couldn’t climb out of this


    nearly four–meter–high pit.


    like a maze, winding, making it sound like Maja’s voice wasing from the opposite direction when


    he heard it. He started running, ran a few hundred meters, and nearly fell off the middle of the


    mountain. There was a visible door here, but when one of the doors was opened. There was a high


    cliff outside, if he couldn’t control his speed, he would fall straight down.
