Chapter 407: Chapter 407: Just Ask Directly

They really had no clue who could be there, and it would be impossible to figure it out solely by guessing from here.

Not only that, but the whole situation seemed to have become even more mysterious and frightening to them.

As fear continued to grow, they would soon find it difficult to think rationally about anything, making matters even worse.

Like Price suggested, they might as well just ask if there’s really someone nearby. If that person could respond, maybe they could help them get out of here.

If there’s no one nearby, then it’s just their imagination playing tricks on them.

After carefully considering it for a while, Suri Drew and Yigol Novak both agreed that trying this method was useful, and they immediately nodded.

“Of course, no problem.”

Instead of continually being scared as they were, it would be better to try out Price’s suggestion.

Seeing their agreement, Price raised his voice slightly and shouted towards the source of the noise.

“Hello, is there someone over there?”

After he finished speaking, there was no response from the outside. The surroundings remained completely silent, and everyone strained their ears, anticipating any kind of echo.

Price genuinely hoped there would be someone there, so they could join forces and possibly help each other escape from the room.

However, they hoped it was a person rather than something else entirely.

Seeing that no one responded after a while, Price didn’t give up and asked again.

“Hello, is there anyone there? We want to help you, and maybe you can help us too? Maybe we could work together and get out of here.”

Although he had no idea who or what the other party was or why they were there, he couldn’t abandon any hope in the current situation.

This situation was already very dangerous, and he would hold onto any sliver of hope, not letting it slip away for nothing.

However, after waiting for quite some time without any response, Price could only reveal an awkward smile on his face.

In the end, he shrugged helplessly and said to Suri and Yigol.

“Well, it seems I was overthinking it. I thought there was someone there, but maybe it’s just the old items in there making noise.”

He didn’t want to attribute it to something supernatural, so he could only use this kind of explanation to comfort himself.

Mainly because there would be no great benefit to making everything sound more terrifying than it already felt.

Originally, Suri and Yigol thought Price’s method would be helpful, but now it seemed to have no use at all.

Finally, the two nodded helplessly and said.

“Alright, alright. It seems it really was just our imagination.”

However, just when Suri uttered those words, they heard an unfamiliar voice near their ears.

“Do you really want to help me get out?”

Unexpectedly, someone spoke out of nowhere. Everyone’s hearts jumped to their throats, as they felt extremely shocked and couldn’t believe what they were hearing.

The main reason was that it all happened too suddenly. Originally, they thought there was no one there, but now it seemed that wasn’t the case at all.

Initially, they were quite surprised, but now they felt a little bit of joy in their hearts. It proved that their initial thoughts were correct.

Suri immediately said excitedly to the source of the voice.

“That’s great! Are you really a person?”

After she finished, she realized that her words might be a bit offensive, so she quickly added another sentence.

“I’m sorry, we’ve been in here for so long that we’re really scared. So when we heard the sounds, we were quite worried.”

As for the person who heard this, they didn’t seem to have any problems with it.

In fact, the person didn’t seem to care too much.

“It’s alright, it’s no big deal. I’ve been here for quite a while already, so now that there are finally people here, I can only be grateful to you all.”

From his tone, it appeared that he felt a bit uncomfortable. Moreover, his voice was very hoarse, as if he hadn’t had a drink of water in a long time.

Nonetheless, they could tell that he was a man.

Yigol then approached the wall and asked.

“Buddy, when did you get locked up here? We just arrived and want to find an exit, but as you know, it’s not that easy.”

Upon hearing this, the man stopped talking. Silence fell over the room. Everyone was puzzled about why he suddenly shut his mouth without any explanation.

After quite some time, when Price was about to speak up and break the silence, the person spoke once more.

“I’ve been locked in here for almost a week.”

Hearing the man’s words, everyone was astonished, hardly able to believe what they were hearing.

If that was true, how on earth did he survive?

They couldn’t help but wonder how someone could manage to stay alive for such a long period of time alone in a room like this.

At this moment, they all found it hard to believe, and they proceeded to ask more questions.

“Oh my god, why were you locked up here? What did they do to you? Do you even know who did this to you?”

Upon hearing this, the man’s emotions seemed to become a little unstable.

Although they didn’t know what exactly he was doing, they could hear something being struck hard.
