Revenge After Death ( Michael Ford ) novel Chapter 402

Rachel feared that Zion and the others would be in danger.

Steven shook his head. "No... I've killed all the others."

As long as Zion and the others managed to escape from those areas, they would be safe.

I searched the entire room but couldn't find any clues left by the designer. There ought to be hidden clues in every room, but they seemed to be missing here.

I furrowed my brows and looked up at the ceiling. Indeed, the downlights were arranged in the shape of the Big Dipper. "An imaginary line drawn between Dubhe and Merak points directly to the North Star, indicating the direction of true north."

I carefully traced the extension line and discovered the true north direction. "The corresponding one is south… We need to move this door now."

I pointed to the door to the south and then carefully stepped on the floor tiles directly under the extension line. As expected, the wall shifted. I let out a relieved breath.

Then, I turned almost reflexively and smiled at Steven. It felt as if I was seeking recognition and commendation. I was stunned for a moment after behaving so childishly.

Steven smiled at me, made his way over with the support of the wall, and embraced me. "I may be a bit dirty, but I hope you won't mind."

"I won't," I said, shaking my head.

Steven laughed heartily and said, "That's good... Whatever you do is just fine."

I thought Steven was acting silly, but I still patted him on the back and assured him, "I'll get you out of here."

"Okay." Without any hesitation, Steven promptly followed my lead.

Finally, when we moved the last wall, we discovered the exit leading to the 15th floor.

"Stephie... They didn't make it out, did they..." Rachel held my wrist. Overwhelmed by her emotions, her red eyes were filled with worry. It was unclear whether Zion and the others had made it out alive.
