I Spy With My Secret Eyes

Chapter 75

After walking for 3 hours, they only wandered in a circle of around 33 to 66 feet.

All the bodyguards, including Louis, were powerful men, full of strength and energy. It was not a problem for them to fight and kill someone, but they were flustered and frightened, unable to find their way out of Enchanting Hollow.

They felt helpless.

Isaac said, “Let’s discuss what we should do next.”

After saying that, all he heard was heavy panting. No one had such an experience.

After a while, Oliver took off the gas mask. Sienna’s heart skipped a beat, and she quickly stopped himn.

Oliver waved his hand, took off the gas mask, and sniffed. Sienna, who snuggled up to him, was very nervous. Hailey, on the left, also stared at him anxiously.

A few minutes later, Oliver felt nothing different from before. The dizziness in his mind remained, but there was no difference between wearing a gas mask and taking it off.

Oliver moved his hands and feet and said, ‘I don’t feel any changes. My mind is still clear, so I can confirm that the fog is actually not toxic. The gas mask doesn’t work. I guess the geology of this area is what’s making us feel dizzy.”

After hearing Oliver’s words, the others also took off their gas masks one after another. They could not move easily, and their sight was restricted when wearing them.

Of course, after removing them, their range of sight became wider, and they felt much better. The line of sight remained the same at around three feet.

Everyone took off their gas masks and felt the air. As Oliver said, the degree of dizziness did not increase or decrease, but their minds were still conscious.

-Gunther frowned and thought, “What should we do?”

Gabriel, the old professor, was also helpless and wondered, “Even Isaac, the best local tour guide, is helpless. How could we continue our journey?”

Wisdom came with age. In the end, Gabriel offered, “Isaac, we came back to where we were earlier. If we keep going, as long as we don’t follow the branches that have been marked before, whether it works or not, we won’t take the same path again, right?”.

Isaac nodded and said, “This method is indeed feasible. We marked a branch every five steps earlier. Let’s try Professor Lewis’ method.”

After the discussion, everyone acted immediately. It was almost three o’clock now. They would lose their minds and become terrified if they were still in such an environment after dark. All content is © N0velDrama.Org.

When Isaac moved forward again, he stuck a branch every five steps. However, this time, the branches were marked with a [II] followed by ascending numbers, indicating the quantity.

After placing almost 26 branches, Isaac found another marked one. He took a closer look, and his heart sank.

This branch was written with the symbol [I] and the number [1].

After taking a different path for over half an hour, they returned to their starting point.

Isaac told everyone about the situation, and everyone fell into silence.

Isaac gritted his teeth and said, “Let’s try again. It’s getting dark soon!”

Then, Isaac wrote [III] and the numbers again along the way. He walked in another direction when he saw the branches from the previous two paths.

He navigated his way with his intuition. Although he felt they were not traveling straight, he was sure they were not walking in a circle.

However, an hour later, Isaac still saw the first branch during their first path.

What the fuck!” he cursed inwardly.

No matter what path they took, they always returned to the starting point.

No one could figure out what the problem was. The electronic devices in their hands completely failed to function.

They did not feel they were walking around a circle. However, they still could not understand why they always returned to the starting point.

This would only be possible if they were on a spherical object where they would return to the starting point after walking around it.

However, Enchanting Hollow was not spherical. It was just a mountainous area, so they could not understand how it could turn spherical.

Everyone was close to breaking down. Hailey grabbed Gunther’s hand and asked in a low voice, “Dad, do you want to continue or return?”

Gunther’s gaze looked a little confused, but he said determinedly, “It doesn’t matter if we continue or return because we’ll die either way. Since the outcome is already decided, I’ll resume even if death is the end. Maybe there’ll be a miracle.”

“Okay, Dad. If you want to do it, go ahead. I’ll stay with you!” Hailey said gently, showing no sign of concern or fear.

The sudden relationship between Oliver and Sienna had hurt Hailey deeply. Hailey’s mind was full of morbid thoughts, so she would rather spend Gunther’s last moments in life with him

Gunther sighed and said leisurely, “Everyone, I have made up my mind. Even if it’s hopeless, I’m prepared to walk until the night. If you don’t want to come with me, you can return. Hailey will pay the full amount we promised to those who return.”

Gabriel took the lead and said, “Gunt, I’m staying with you. There’s no need for me to think about it.”

Louis also said, “Mr. Fox, I won’t leave you.”

The other five bodyguards hesitated slightly, but after Louis said so, they did not think much about it. They nodded and agreed to stay with Gunther.

Oliver said, “Mr. Fox, I don’t have to say more, I must continue the journey.”

Sienna, Wayne, and Simon were, undoubtedly, with Oliver, so they would do whatever Oliver said.

Only Isaac hesitated. Gunther pointed out that he would not stop him from leaving. After all, he had gotten 4 million

dollars. He would not be violating professional ethics as Gunther allowed him to return.

However, no one wanted to return. He was put in a dilemma when he was the only one who wanted to do it.

After hesitating for a while, Isaac agreed to stay because everyone was looking at him.

Isaac was the only tour guide. If he left by himself, it would crush everyone’s faith.

“Forget it. I’ll go with them. If we still can’t escape from this confusing area, they will have nothing to say when I try to head back, he thought.

He had been to Enchanting Hollow once before, but he seemed to have entered a very deep area that time. However, he was always confused about how he got in and did not remember it at all. He had no memories of it that could help him now. He only had fear in his heart.

Gabriel, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly said, “If we try again, let’s split into three groups. We have 14 people in total. There’ll be five in two groups and four in one group. If we divide ourselves into three groups to expand our range of travel, maybe we could stand a higher chance of getting out of Enchanting Hollow!”
