Chapter 105
“Mr. Eastwood? Is that you?”
The reply rang after a short pause. Based on the voice, it seemed to be Louis’ voice.
“I’m Wayne, it’s you and your group over there, right? Mr. Hayes?” Wayne shouted loudly while he leaned toward the stone
wall.
“Yes! It’s us! It’s us you are talking to!” Louis’ voice suddenly became excited to the point that he even sounded ecstatic.
Hearing that, Wayne also ran in the direction of Louis’ voice with great joy. He saw Louis running toward him after he took a turn around the corner, and behind Louis was Hailey holding her father, Gunther.
Behind Hailey and Gunther, there was Gabriel who was panting heavily. Yoseph was the last person on the team.
The five of them appeared tired. However, when they saw Oliver before them at that moment, the expression of joy due to being rescued from danger was instantly revealed on their faces.
Gunther raised his hand, waved to Oliver, and said with a slightly hoarse voice, “Oliver… You…”
Although no one said it aloud at that moment, it was definite that every one of their team had the same unspoken sentence in their hearts, which was “It was so nice to see Oliver again!”
Now, there was no longer any objection as everyone had acknowledged that Oliver was their mainstay.
The five people on Gunther’s side had become so lost and out of ideas about the maze. Even though Gabriel was the most experienced and knowledgeable among them, Gabriel knew nothing about the maze route, just like the time when they were trapped in Enchanting Fog!
Fortunately, Oliver appeared in front of them again like a deity!
Louis dashed over and gave both Wayne and Simon a bear hug. He then said to Oliver with some grievance, “Mr. Eastwood, let’s not separate into two groups next time. It’s still better to be with you!”
Oliver nodded in response. After that, he waved his hands and sat down to think.
Others motioned to keep quiet when they noticed Oliver’s action, and none of them interrupted him.
Oliver observed the route map carefully in his mind and stared at the bright red spot. Although he could not identify what that was without seeing the real object, he had a strong feeling that the bright red spot was a key thing that was extremely important!
After staring at the bright red spot in his mind for a few minutes, Oliver suddenly stood up and said, “Let’s go!”
Louis leaned over and asked, “Mr. Eastwood, does this mean that you’ve found a way out?”
Shaking his head, Oliver replied, “I don’t know. Let’s look for it first!”
“We still have to look for it?” Louis uttered, slightly disappointed.
He thought that since Oliver could find them, Oliver should be able to find a way out. However, he did not expect Oliver to say that they still need to look for the exit, and that really impacted Louis’ confidence!
When the team set out again, Oliver held Sienna’s hand and walked in the front, with Wayne and Simon protecting the two of them at each side. Meanwhile, Hailey held her father behind them. Gabriel, Louis, and Yoseph were at the end of the
team.
Oliver did not look at the route before him but just followed the bright red spot in his mind. Ten more minutes later, they were slightly closer to the bright red spot.
Everyone who followed Oliver remained silent and continued following him closely.
No one knew where they were heading to.
Everyone was clueless except for Oliver. Wayne, Simon, and Sienna did not have anything in their thoughts as they only focused their attention on Oliver.
On the other hand, Gunther was holding on to the last straw of hope in his mind. Hailey was still upset, and Gabriel appeared curious and confused.
Louis and Yoseph were worried and uncertain in their hearts, none of them wanted to end up losing their lives in that place.
The main goal for them would be to escape alive, but it would still be ideal if they could find a treasure and make a fortune. Looking at the place they were at, they could even pick out a few of the luminous pearls on top of their heads if there were no other treasures. Those luminous pearls would be sufficient to feed a few generations of their family!
After following behind Oliver for more than 20 minutes, the holes in front still appeared one after another, connected to each other unendingly. They still could not recognize directions while going through those holes.
Oliver did not bother to check on others’ thoughts, and just followed the route in his mind.
The bright red spot was getting closer and closer as if it was right in front of him. Just then, Oliver became nervous all of a sudden. That bright red spot gave him a strong feeling!
Bang!
While Oliver was excited that he could finally see the bright red spot and see what kind of thing it was, he knocked his forehead onto the stone wall!
There was no way ahead other than a stone wall!
That left Oliver dumbfounded. With no other choice, he stopped to observe the wall carefully while he touched his forehead which was painful due to the collision.
The bright red spot in his mind was right in front of his eyes, within three feet of him. Yet there was only a cold stone wall before him. “Where is the red bright spot?” Oliver thought.
Oliver reached out and checked the rock with his hand. Seeing that, Wayne hurriedly shone a headlight onto the stone wall in front of Oliver so that Oliver can have a clearer view.
After Oliver carefully inspected the wall, he found that there was not even any tiny gap in the stone wall!
“That’s weird! Where is the bright red spot? The location in my mind was very clear, it’s located just three feet ahead, but there’s only hard and cold rock in front of me,” Oliver pondered.
Seeing Oliver staring at the stone wall in a daze, the people behind him also surrounded him to watch.
All nine of them were lined up side by side as they were checking the stone wall. With their headlights shining brightly onto the stone wall, the wall could be viewed clearly.
The stone wall was very smooth, with no gaps or pits. Not even the slightest pattern could be found!
After gazing at it for a while, Sienna could not find anything, so she asked curiously, “Oliver, what are you staring at? There is nothing special on this stone wall!”
However, Oliver still stared at the stone wall in a daze as if he did not hear what Sienna said.
With mixed feelings of anger and amusement, Sienna then touched Oliver’s forehead, asking, “Seems like you don’t have a fever after all. Have you lost your mind?”
Oliver shook his head in denial and turned to Wayne. He uttered, “Hand me the knife!”
Wayne drew out the dagger and handed it to Oliver. Once Oliver took over the dagger, he tapped on the stone wall with its handle while listening carefully.
The knocking sound on the stone wall was very dull. Wayne heard it and said immediately, “It’s solid. There’s no empty space behind, it would sound crisp if there was a space.”
The place where Oliver knocked was the exact spot of the bright red spot. When he heard Wayne mention that it was a solid stone wall, he also knocked on the surrounding area. Property © NôvelDrama.Org.
The rest of the places he knocked on returned with solid voices as well. That left Oliver feeling confused!
The map that was produced from identification through his eyes and brain was basically true Almost all the situations during that period proved that his ability was powerful and accurate, not even once the map was fake!
It could be said that his ability was 100 percent accurate.
However, that could not explain the reason he saw the bright red spot behind the stone wall yet the stone wall was solid instead.
“What exactly is the bright red spot?” Oliver questioned inwardly.
Oliver could not figure out anything. He then poked the stone wall with the point of the dagger again.
It was very hard!
Looking at Oliver who was still staring at the stone wall in thought, Louis poked out his head and asked, “Mr. Eastwood, since we brought explosives with us, why not I put the explosives on this wall and explode it?”
Oliver appeared puzzled for a while before he understood what Louis meant. Oliver quickly shook his head as he refused, “No way! It can’t be blown up. There will be serious problems if we did that!”
Louis shrugged and said, “If that is the case, then this will be hard to deal with. Mr. Eastwood, do you think there is something wrong behind the stone wall?”
Oliver hummed in response to his question, then added, “Let’s not rush into it. Just let me think about it for a while, give me some time!”
Louis found Oliver’s answer weird. Oliver did nothing other than stare at such a stone wall. He did not understand what was there to see on the stone wall.
He thought, “I am going to just do it my way. Whatever this stone wall is, I’ll just blow it up
first!”
