Pampered by my three brothers: the return of the neglected heiress

Chapter 1688: The EXIT

Tut... tut...

Deep lines formed between Atlas' and Dean's brows. The latter walked closer while Atlas stood frozen.

When Dean stopped, he turned to Atlas. "Tell me I didn't just imagine that."

"..." Atlas remained quiet, moving the keycard along the tiled wall slightly.

Beep!

Both almost flinched when part of the wall parted like a door. Atlas took a step back, eyeing the slight opening before the two of them looked at each other with wide eyes.

No words were said as Dean watched Atlas pull the door open.

As soon as the door parted to a certain degree, lights from beyond the secret door lit up. It was a hallway, big enough for two people to walk side by side. And from there, there were even more lockers-like those in a safety deposit box.

"What the hell?" Dean muttered, intuitively taking a step to follow Atlas.

Both of them were stunned, already accepting that there was no way out of here. But now, there was a way. If this were the world just testing the two of them, well, they were truly tested tonight.

Atlas didn't walk inside immediately but rather stopped right by the open door.

Earlier, they broke some tiles by smashing the tools. However, all they saw was cement and no hole they could crawl into. But now that the door had opened and he could examine it, the reason for that was that the door's surface was also cemented.

"This is the exit," Atlas muttered, studying how the door remained undiscovered. "He doesn't need to go outside to leave this place. Once he comes in, he's coming out somewhere else."
