They had all been diligently searching, but this sudden noise had unconsciously pulled their attention toward her.

They had no clue what was happening.

So, Yigol Novak promptly asked,

“What’s wrong? What’s happened?”

Even Price and Luke were taken aback. Had they found some crucial information from within?

If that was the case, it would simply be wonderful.

They didn’t want to continue searching anymore and quickly approached Suri Drew, eager to know more.

“What happened?”

Everyone seemed very interested, so Suri started tearing open the envelope.

“I didn’t have the slightest idea that information was hidden here, but it’s been on the inside all along, so we missed it.”

At this point, everyone was utterly amazed.

And sure enough, it was as they thought.

They hadn’t even considered checking this side at first.

But now it seemed like there were words written here.

Everyone had a look of astonishment on their faces.

More than that, they were genuinely ecstatic.

“Oh my god, it really does say something!”

Everyone cheered in excitement.

“Your intuition wasn’t wrong. We should’ve believed in it from the start!”

Even Luke, who was standing next to them, couldn’t help but raise his hand and nudge him on the arm.

Yigol was silent this entire time, lost in his thoughts. Though his face revealed no emotion, his heart was churning with feelings.

At the start, he hadn’t even considered that his instinct would turn out to be so accurate.

When they hadn’t found anything initially, he had almost wanted to give up.

Now it seemed his intuition was quite spot-on. Besides, having a wife had been a boon. Otherwise, he might not have been able to prove it.

When he finally collected his thoughts, he quickly stepped forward, hugging his wife tightly, and uttered a grateful sentence,

“Thank you, honey. We wouldn’t have discovered all of this without you.”

Price and Luke, who were standing nearby, also instantly nodded in agreement.

They hadn’t entertained much hope initially. Yet, they found something after all.

How could this not be considered good news?

They were indeed overjoyed.

“Yes, we thought there was nothing here. But under your perseverance, we found something. Let’s examine these words closely. Perhaps they might turn out to be useful.”

Price also spoke up happily.

Standing next to him, Luke immediately nodded and added,

“Yes, let’s take a look. It might just help us escape.”

They were desperate to understand what was written on it.

Suri then proceeded to piece together the envelope she’d ripped apart earlier.

Since the words were inside, they wouldn’t be visible unless it was torn open.

Only after they had pieced it back together did they finally get to see what was written on it.

“Wait to die.”

It was just these simple three words.

Other jumbled letters had been written around it, and these three words, a bit larger in size, were in the middle.

When everyone saw this, a collective gasp escaped their mouths. They had never expected this.

This whole situation had gone beyond their imagination.

At the beginning, they still harbored the hope that these objects might provide some guidance.

But they had never expected such sinister three-word text.

This discovery had left them utterly dejected. They didn’t even know what to do next.

All their faces turned pale within an instant. How could they not realize the gravity of the situation?

Everyone went silent and just shut their mouths. A silence enveloped the surroundings.

Under these circumstances, they didn’t know which course to take.

After a long while, someone finally broke the silence in the room.

“Do you think there were people living here before? Is this a message for us?”

These three words indeed felt like a message.

They were already trapped here now. If they didn’t find a way out, they could only wait to die.

The room fell silent again, a chill ran down everyone’s spines.

They did indeed have the same thoughts, yet, they had never expressed them aloud.

Now that Price had voiced it, they were thrown into deep dismay.

If they had a choice, they wouldn’t have wanted any of this at all. But there was really no way out.

In the end, Suri could only shake her head and say,

“I never imagined that these were the words inside.”

Nearby, Yigol was quietly frowning. After thinking for a long time, he finally shared his thoughts.

“Is there some other reason here? It couldn’t have been written for us. Otherwise, it would be too eerie. Who could’ve predicted we would be here at this time?”

Thinking about this, Suri instantly agreed. She didn’t believe it was written specifically for them. That would be way too strange.

Who could predict what would happen in the future?

Nevertheless, they couldn’t help feeling suspicious about this entire situation.

However, they couldn’t figure out what was wrong about this.

Price, however, had been looking pale the entire time and had not said a word.

Seeing him like this, everyone curiously turned their gaze towards him.

While everyone discussed the situation, he had remained silent, completely immersed in his thoughts.

So at that moment, Yigol waved his hand in front of Price’s face, furrowed his eyebrows, and asked,

“What happened to you? Why aren’t you speaking?”

At his words, everyone turned their gaze towards him, curious about his silence.

And just then, he finally snapped back to reality from his deep thoughts.
