Chapter 127: Held Hands

“Look at the footprints around here. Due to the ghostly wall, no one else has broken into this place, except for those who know about this formation.”

“The whole place is covered in dust.”

“But there are shallow footprints in this place. Someone must have walked past it and and left marks from their soles.”

Quinn had never seen such a scene before. He dryly asked, “Then…are we still going down? It’s not very good to barge into someone else’s place without permission, right?” Quinn asked.

Looking at Lauren’s serious expression as well as her agile reaction, Quinn started to get serious.

“We’ve already broken through their illusions, so why would we care so much? Just be careful! How do we get down?”

Lauren squatted down and knocked on the stone slab. There was no response.

“Wait a minute, I saw Obmar groping around yesterday.” Quinn imitated Obmar and groped around the wall. After groping around several times, Quinn finally found a slightly sunken area.

“Then, he should have knocked like this…”

Quinn first knocked twice, then three times, and finally two times.

As expected, the stone slab on the ground made a slight sound, like the sound of a switch being activated.

The stone slab slowly shrank into the floor.

Lauren’s eyes lit up.

‘Someone actually spent so much effort to create a basement floor. Something fishy must be going on…’

“There’s a staircase here. Wait a moment, I’ll turn on the flashlight.”

Quinn turned on the flashlight and shone it down into the darkness. Although he had already gone down once yesterday, he was still a little afraid when he saw this pitch-black place again.

It was like a big mouth that could suck people in at any time.

Lauren had seen all kinds of scenes before, and this was nothing to her.

Just as she was about to walk down the stairs with her short legs, Quinn grabbed her arm.

“I’ll go down first. I’ll shine the flashlight back at you later so that you won’t be scared while you’re alone,” Quinn said fiercely.

Following that, Quinn held the flashlight in one hand and held the handrail of the stairs with the other as he slowly walked down the stairs.

Lauren felt a trace of warmth in her heart.

Although Quinn spoke those words gruffly, he was actually concerned about Lauren. He was worried that there would be danger down there, so he had gone down ahead of time to investigate.

After Quinn went down, he first used the light to illuminate the surroundings. After he found that there was nothing unusual, he softly informed Lauren to go down.

Lauren’s two small hands held onto the handrail. Her movements were very agile, and she soon made it to the ground.

Quinn went over to Lauren and held her hand.

“Follow me. It’s dark here. I won’t come back for you if you get lost.”

Lauren felt Quinn holding her hand tightly.

Just as what Franklin said, Quinn had a sharp tongue but a soft heart.

Despite the words that Quinn had said to Lauren and the things that he had done to her, Lauren was no longer as angry as she was before.

As expected, everyone loved this princess.

If Quinn knew Lauren’s current thoughts at this crucial moment, he would have vomited blood.

The siblings held hands tightly and relied on the tiny dot of light on Quinn’s phone as they carefully explored the area.

Though Quinn had only been here twice, he managed to find the door.

Sure enough, someone had come down before them. The little door was not closed, but left a little crack in it, through which the red light sloped out, like some sort of door to hell.

Fearing that they would be found out, they moved softly at every step for fear of making any noise.

The room was indeed very big. Lauren was used to doing one-on-one missions in the past, so she had never been to such a place before.

Quinn was afraid of alerting the people inside the room, so he turned off the flashlight. Then, using the red light, they made their way forward.

“I didn’t go into the room yesterday, so I don’t know what’s inside.”

“Since you don’t know, then of course we have to go in and take a look.”

Lauren dragged Quinn to the nearest room. There was a signboard with the letters WQ hanging on it.

Before Quinn could react, Lauren had already placed her hand on the doorknob.

“Hey, are you going to barge in just like that? Aren’t you afraid that there’s something inside?”

Lauren’s small face was also red under the red light, but it somehow gave Quinn a sense of comfort.

The warmth coming from their held hands also helped Quinn calm down a lot.
