At that time, Philip received the message from the research base and had no choice but to move out with Phil.

Phil was like his shadow - a shadow devoid of independent thought.

Whatever Philip told him to do, he did.

Seated on the plane, Phil leaned over and murmured, "Are we going to make sure lan never comes back?"

Philip nodded coldly. "Yeah, he must die a horrible death."

In this treacherous times, anyone daring to venture into Astronia was practically signing their own death warrant.

Internationally, the outbreak in Astronia was making headlines daily. Countries around the globe commanded immediate

evacuations, urging their citizens to return hbefore the virus spread beyond the borders.

Otherwise, if the disease were to escape containment, it would spell disaster on a global scale.

Upon landing, lan headed straight for a hotel.

00 was with him, ever trailing him like a loyal shadow.

Later, more people checked into the hotel, all lan's people. He was having a meeting with these people in front of a computer until

his phone rang once, indicating a map sent by a stranger.

It was also this map that had guided lan to Astronia.

He did not know who this stranger was, but four days ago, the person had given him a map of Forbidden Island. The map detailed

every location of Forbidden Island, revealing even the secret passages.

More importantly, this stranger knew about the pigeon post lan had used to communicate with the outside world from Forbidden

Island - a detail lan had never shared. This person knew the secret passages and the only place that could communicate with the

outside world.
