Chapter 423 - Three Perfect Shots (1/2)

Inside the dark tunnel, Elizabeth has stayed there for almost half an hour. She was really exhaussted that shhe didn't realize she'd fallen asleep.

”Ah, how long was I asleep for?” She took out the small flip phone and checked the time. Whilst she was checking the time, she realized she hadn't checked the phone contact at all. ”I wonder is that b*stard's number is here?”

As she checked the phone contact she was dumbfounded to see how empty it was. ”Seriously?”

It made her confuse what the phone was for since it had no contacts at all. However, as she examined the phone further she didn't notice anything suspicious about it. But, it didn't leave her thought that the phone might have a tracking device installed into it. Also, maybe the person knows the number of the phone.

Elizabeth put the phone away, she was in deep thought on what to do. She thought that if she stayed put sooner or later someone would come for her and she could only think of two people that will definitely know her whereabouts. Either the bastard and her cousin arrive or her father will. For sure her father has restored the tracking system and would soon figure out her current whereabouts.

Even if that is the outcome, if the person arrives before her father does she'll have a higher chance of finding the professor. For sure that person knows who the professor is seeing this is Scott's estate and for sure he'll know the professor's whereabouts. But the chance that person will listen to her request is null. A big zero!

”Better move on then,” In the end, she can only rely on herself. She can't trust those people will ever listen to her and she can't bear the idea of being locked up by her father again.

Elizabeth started packing her things, she grabbed a small rucksack to pack some extra food, money, clean water and spare clothes. She didn't know when she'd be able to rest and find a place to eat so it was best shee prepare and eat along the way.

Before finding her way out,Elizabeth looked back at the hideout prepared for her. It was really fitting for someone like her, everything was to her liking. ”Better thank that guy if I do see him.”

The girl moved like a turtle, slow but precise. She has no recollection of ever finding the way out of the tunnel and she was worried as well if maybe they are trapped (more of ghosts).

Thankfully, the tunnel was not that maze type, there was only one way yet who knows where it leads. It was also dark and she only had a flashlight to light her way making everything unbearable.

After a while, she finally reached the end of the tunnel. It was really a dead end, no sign of a way out. She already expected such an outcome but she hoped for the best. Somehow, she thought that I'll lead her out since she recalled the guy mentioned that she must survive.

Elizabeth collapsed on the ground disappointedly, she sat by the wall and took a rest. She's been walking for heaven knows and even has finished a few of the bottle water she brought. It was really cool inside the tunnel but somehow she felt so dehydrated all the time.

BANG

BANG

KA-BOOM

Elizabeth was surprised by the sound of gunfire. What shocked her the most was the fact it was so close as if she was above them. She could hear the men above screaming and yelling, it wasn't that clear but she was sure there were quite a few of them above her.

She got up and eagerly looked for a way out…

The girl started banging on the wall and even started looking for a keyhole or something like a lever to magically open a way out. As she continued to bang on the wall, it started crumbling down as the stone and ground started sliding down.

The breaking wall brought hope to the girl's face. She smiled as her eyes lit up in delight that there could be a way out. As she continued on, it didn't take long for her to finally hit something… Something which caused her to turn pale and fell on her knees.

AH!!!

The girl screamed in horror of what she was seeing. She trembled in fear and couldn't move at all.

”What should I do?” She wraps her arms around her to comfort herself. She fears she just brought disaster on herself. ”How could I…”

The girl looked up at the opened wall where a dead person's bones laid resting. Because she distrubed a deadman resting place that she'll be curse. If she knew she would have stayed put and have not gone her way.

As the girl continues to tremble in fear. The corner of her eyes noticed something strange about the skeleton. How could it be so clear when her flashlight was not lighting directly on it.

It made her curious as she got up and forgot about her fear all of the sudden. Her curiosity has pushed all her worries away behind her head as she went close to it and checked it out.

It seems that the grave the skeleton is under is broken. Allowing light to enter giving it a clear view of what's inside.
