But who would have known that after he said such words, the man suddenly laughed.
Not only that, but the laughter seemed to be quite mocking.
Although Yigol didn’t know why he was doing so, he couldn’t help but look towards the source of the sound.
Suri, standing beside him, also didn’t know what kind of person this man was. When he just spoke, his tone was quite indifferent, as if he had nothing to do with the situation at hand.
But even so, he had saved her at the most crucial moment.
Thus, even if his current attitude was somewhat puzzling, she still felt gratitude towards him.
“What are you laughing at?”
Unable to hold back, Yigol asked the question at once.
Only then did the mysterious man respond.
“Do you know how to get out of here? Can you even see where the enemy is? How can you leave if you can’t see anything?”
After hearing this, they both thought the man made a good point.
After all, they couldn’t see anything clearly at the moment.
All of this was of no use to them.
For a moment, they both had their mouths open but didn’t know what to say.
After all, the stranger’s words were indeed accurate.
Not waiting for them to speak, the man spoke softly again.
“Didn’t you realize the whole hotel has been taken over by them? Do you think you both can easily escape?”
Upon hearing these words, they finally could confirm their prior suspicions.
It seemed to be true.
Initially, they thought all of it was just their conjecture, but now it appeared that if the whole hotel hadn’t been taken over, how could the situation be so dire?
So, their faces turned very ugly at this moment.
Despite being in darkness, they were still tightly holding each other’s hands, not letting go.
Because they knew that as long as they had each other, that would be enough.
If they were separated at this moment, they would be even more afraid, fearful of something else happening.
Regardless, they now needed to figure out where they were and who this person was in front of them. What should they do next?
Right now, they were in a very passive state.
They didn’t understand anything and were clueless about what to do.
But, it seemed that only this man knew where they were and what was happening outside.
Although they didn’t know why he was so informed about everything, this person was truly their lifesaving straw.
If they wanted to know more, they had to rely on him.
So, Yigol softened his tone a little and expressed his gratitude again.
“Thank you so much for helping us just now. We’ve considered the possibility that the hotel may have been taken over, and we may not be able to escape. However, we still want to give it a try.”
Suri, standing beside him, nodded her head and added,
“Yes, thank you so much. If it weren’t for you, we might have already been captured by them.”
Hearing that, the man nonchalantly shook his head.
Although Suri and Yigol could not see his face or his actions,
the man finally replied after a while.
“It’s nothing.”
He simply said these three words.
Hearing this, both Suri and Yigol were at a loss for words.
Their hands gripped each other even tighter.
Earlier, they had no idea what to do.
Although they still had not communicated about it, they now knew what they should do next.
At the moment, their top priority was to figure out where they were and how to get out of there.
If the whole hotel had indeed been taken over, they would have no hope of leaving. After all, they couldn’t keep hiding there forever.
Moreover, they didn’t know when they would be safe again.
So, they had to come up with a reasonable plan.
But they were too unfamiliar with their current circumstances to figure out what to do.
It took Yigol a while before he found the courage to speak again.
“Can you tell us where we are and how we can get out? Since there are people guarding the back, how should we safely get through?”
He decided not to beat around the bush and simply asked the question.
Most of the time, when people skirt around a topic, the issue doesn’t get resolved, but if stated directly, the solution might be easier to find.
Moreover, he had somewhat discerned during their conversation that this man had a straightforward personality, not one for beating around the bush.
With that in mind, there was no need for them to keep dancing around the subject; it was better to just express their thoughts directly.
After hearing this, the man fell silent for a while.
He didn’t say anything, as if deep in thought.
Meanwhile, Suri and Yigol quietly waited without saying anything further.
They knew that if the man didn’t want to talk, they couldn’t force him
At this moment, they had to think about their next steps.
If they couldn’t resolve this situation, their circumstances would become even worse.
But how could they not realize this was a difficult problem for them to solve?
Finding a solution would likely take a lot of time and energy.
After an unknown amount of time, the man finally began to speak slowly.
“If you want to leave, you won’t be able to do it anytime soon.”
Suri and Yigol knew this all too well.
They both nodded and said,
“We understand that leaving will be incredibly difficult, but can you tell us where we are right now?”
