Gerald Crawford: The Secretly or invisible Rich Man Chapter 1911 Understanding that staying here for any longer would only spell more trouble, after resting for a bit,Gerald got to his feet before saying, “Alright, let’s leave this place while we can!”novelbin
With that, the duo made their way back to the sealed main entrance…
Once they were there, they quickly realized that there wasn’t a mechanism to open the doors at all, atleast not one they could easily see… The pitch darkness of the place certainly didn’t help…
Understanding the fact that they didn’t even know where to start looking for the mechanism, Reycouldn’t help but stare at the massive stone wall—blocking the cave’s entrance—before looking atGerald and asking, “…How… should we leave, Mr. Crawford…?”
“Well, since there was a mechanism outside that allowed us to enter, I’m sure there’s another one inhere that will allow us to leave! Since the Yin and Yang sides—based on the layout of The EightDiagrams—was the key to opening the door from the outside, I’m assuming that the mechanism in herecan be found opposite of that!” replied Gerald after thinking for a bit.
Following that, Gerald began searching the opposite areas… and after feeling around the stone wall,he managed to find a mechanism!
Immediately twisting it, Gerald and Rey’s eyes quickly widened as the floor beneath them began tocrumble! To think that the mechanism would cause this!
Regardless, unable to react in time, both of them soon found themselves sliding down an inclined path!
While Rey screamed all the way down, Gerald himself could only think about how badly he hadmessed up this time. As it turned out, things weren’t as easy as he had expected…
Whatever the case was, it was quite a while before the slope suddenly ended, sending both of themshooting out and landing on a soft pile of dirt.
Groaning as they got up, the two quickly realized that they seemed to have entered another cave…Aside from the fact that there was a pond in the cave—that had water so clear that one could easilysee its bottom—there was not much else to note at first glance… “Holy cr*p… Where even are we, Mr.Crawford…?” asked Rey as he dusted the dirt off his clothes.
Naturally, Gerald had no clue of where they were either. Even so, to think that there would actually beanother cave under that cave… What a special place…
Simply shaking his head in response, Gerald and Rey then began investigating the surrounding area,hoping to find an exit. Unfortunately for them, no matter how hard they searched, there didn’t seem tobe one. They were trapped once again…
“Well that’s just great! I guess we’re stuck here!” said Rey as he sat down while heaving a heavy sigh.
Frowning slightly, Gerald then took Tye’s map out before giving it a good look. Something had to bewrong here… Thankfully, Gerald was right.
Now that he had managed to find something significant, Gerald quickly called out, “Rey!”
Hurriedly getting to his feet, Rey then raised a slight brow as he looked at the map while asking, “…Yes, Mr. Crawford? Did you find something?”
“Indeed! See the Officer Viewing Deck where we started from? While we’ve changed course severaltimes, I retraced our steps… and here! See that other cave on the map? I have a feeling that we’recurrently here! And that cave clearly shows an entrance!” exclaimed Gerald, pointing at the map theentire time.
While Rey definitely felt that Gerald’s words made sense, he couldn’t help but say, “That’s fine and all…But we’ve already made a thorough search of this place! Forget an exit, we haven’t even managed tolocate anything resembling a door opening mechanism!”
Though Gerald saw where Rey was coming from, he was sure that there definitely had to be a way out.After all, there was a high chance that they simply hadn’t looked in the right direction.
With that in mind, Gerald simply replied, “I’m sure the exit will appear soon! Keep calm, we’ll definitelyfind a way to leave.”
