Chapter 217 Trapped in a Maze
Chapter 217 Trapped in a Maze
But Vivian took the pair of shoes that had become tan from Morris' hands and put them on her feet
without hesitation.
Trying it out on the ground, she muttered, "It actually fits."
Then she put the other shoe on as well.
With her feet in the shoes, she said, "Not bad, quite comfortable." She said as she walked towards the
front.
After a few steps, she found no movement behind her, and when she turned around, she found Morris
still standing in the same place.
"What are you standing around for, waiting to die?" She said with a look of displeasure.
Morris was facing her, his thin lips lightly parted, "Vivian, you are very brave."
Although people nowadays are not as traditional, old-fashioned and superstitious as those in the past,
many people are very squeamish about dead things and may even find them diabolical and horrifying.
There were even some people who didn’t want to touch the dead’s things, but instead of pretentiously
resisting, Vivian accepted the reality.
His pupils flashed a light of appreciation for her.
Vivian understood what Morris meant, looked down at the pair of shoes on her feet and said helplessly,
''I just borrowed them, when we get out, these shoes will still be returned to the girl. Besides, it is not
known how deep the chamber is, whether it is flat or potholed or whatever, if we keep walking barefoot
and hurt our feet, it will only slow down the action. One more minute we are here, the more danger, I
don't want to die here."
Vivian admitted that she was brave, but she still resisted a little when she actually went to wear the
shoes, which was why she let Morris get them.
She was there to get Morris to give herself a pep talk, because if he dared to touch it, why wouldn't she
dare?
Cheering silently in her mind, she decided to put on her shoes.
But no matter how scared she was inside, she didn't want to show it in front of Morris.
Because she knew that she really didn't have any choice, if she did walk barefoot, she would definitely
get injured, and by the time she caught some germs or couldn't walk, it would only put them both in an
even more dangerous situation.
"I've been dying to ask you, what exactly is your master's origin and how does he use a gun?"
Morris asked the question he had been curious about.
Vivian grinned and raised her eyebrows proudly, ''That's my master, of course he's omnipotent. Not
only does he know taekwondo, he can also do sparring. His ancestors were soldiers, and I heard from
Houghton that his father was a sharpshooter and personally taught him marksmanship. He was also a
very good shot when he was young and served as a soldier, then he was discharged and came back
as a hunter. I also heard Houghton say that he had robbed a tomb, if not because it was against the
law to rob a tomb, so he will continue."
Speaking of Houghton, Vivian seemed to have endless things to say, and was much more cheerful.
"It's kind of fun, just apprentice is stupid.."
Morris teased, walking over to her and taking her hand, yet Vivian cursed him, "Morris, you provoked
me, didn't you? Believe it or not, I'll tell my master and see how he'll fix you."
"Shh~"
He held her hand tightly and made a silent gesture with his other hand, "There is no certainty that there
is drinkable water here at the moment, so it's best to keep your words to a minimum for now and
conserve your strength."
His words made perfect sense, and Vivian considered the situation at hand and didn't continue arguing
with him.
She handed the phone to Morris and put it in his pocket.
Morris removed the lamp and stood in the middle of the walkway, "Don't move, check the wind first."
Inside the chamber, there is a candle flame, just enough to find the direction of the wind, as a way to
surmise whether there is an exit.
Sure enough, the flames stirred.
The two then continued towards the front.
The minutes ticked by and the two raced around the large chamber for a long time before finally
walking back to where they had fallen.
Morris' brows knitted slightly as he said in a deep voice, "We've been walking for an hour and we've
actually walked back. If we're right, it's highly likely that this place is a 'round' maze design."
Vivian was no longer in the mood to argue with Morris, instead she stood in place with a sad face,
slowly closing her eyes and carefully recalling the paths she had just walked.
"In that case, we'll go again, but this time, we'll need to make a mark."
"Okay."
The two held hands and set off again.
It was a good thing that there were oil lamps on the walls inside the chamber, so they could be sure to
see the way clearly.
At each turn in the walk, Morris would take an oil lamp and smoke the wick on the wall for a while,
leaving a black mark on the wall.
Vivian removed the earring from her ear and used the thin pin of the stud to mark the number '1' on the
black mark that Morris had smoked.
The second corner was marked with a '2'.
"You're smart."
Morris praised her without mincing words, feeling more and more as if he had found a treasure girl, full
of wisdom and secrets that made him more and more curious and excited about her.
Meanwhile.
The Cheal family found out that Vivian and Morris were missing and called them, but they were never
able to get through.
When Morris and Trent were sure that the two of them were in danger, they immediately pulled up the
old mansion's surveillance and looked for them.
But surveillance was only turned on in the front and back yards of the old house, the rest was given off.
The video shows the two of them initially appearing to walk out of the living room one right after the
other.
After that, there was no more information.
"Find them, immediately and secretly deploy your men to find Morris and Vivian at all costs."
Madame Cheal sat on the chair, reached out and slapped the table, her face full of worry, "Trent,
immediately buy a ticket to a foreign country in Morris' identity, and say that he went abroad on a
business trip and won't be able to return for a while. So that word doesn't get out and shake the
company's heart."
"Okay."
Trent nodded and immediately went to deal with the matter.
As the executive president of the Eonothem Group, Morris needed to deal with countless things every
day.
He was already busy with work during the day, and the last few days had caused an uproar because of
what had happened on his wedding day, and the appearance of Yoona at Madame Cheal' birthday
banquet today, 'exposing' herself with those nasty things.
Although it would not cause some financial loss to the Cheal family, it had attracted many media
outlets, many of which were waiting to interview Morris.
And at this time when Morris is missing,if the slightest hint of his disappearance is rumored, it will be
reported by media reporters, leading to a series of serious consequences.
After Trent had left, Madame Cheal then said to Mike, "How about you taking care of the company for
the next few days?"
With a sad face, Mike sighed, "Since something happened to Morris, I have to take care of the
company on his behalf. We are family, it's what I should do."
He hung his head slightly, and in the moment when he bowed his head, shadowy chill flashed under his
eyes. Content rights belong to NôvelDrama.Org.
