Chapter 222

Swapped

Lucille was not worried that the commotion would wake Yohanna up.

That was because apart from Yohanna's, the boxes of food that Agnes had delivered were drugged with heavy sleeping pills.

When she asked Yohanna for the utensils earlier, she secretly swapped their boxes.

Therefore, Yohanna, who had eaten Lucille's food, slept soundly and did not wake up at all.

Lucille fiddled with the steel wire for a while.

At that moment, the iron door across from hers was opened as well.

Lucille turned around and saw Kylian slowly walking out of the storage room with a, silver wire in his hand.

Lucille searched all the way to the southeast based on the directions given by the device, only to find a door there. The light behind the door was bright, and she could faintly see silhouettes moving around inside, Based on the number of people, it definitely wasn't the other victims. They must
