Chapter 587 - 585: Did She Really Get Out?
Under the eyes of the crowd, either indifferent, regretful, or relieved, Yan Tong slowly walked to the front of the big door one step at a time.
She glanced at the four blood-red stone lions standing on either side and slowly exhaled a long breath.
"If I’m going to die, then so be it!"
Yan Tong whispered to herself, then reached out with her delicate hand to push the door.
She thought she would end up like the others, bitten in half by the stone lions the moment she touched the door.
But this time, her outstretched hand directly touched the door.
With a gentle push, the door creaked open before her.
This scene left everyone dumbfounded.
Especially Yan Tong herself.
She hadn’t expected her luck to be so good!
At the same time, she realized this was her chance to escape the danger!
So she opened the door just enough to slip through and quickly snuck inside.
"Fuck! That bitch!"
Seeing Yan Tong slip inside, Crew Member A and Crew Member B followed in, trying to grab her.
But who would have thought Yan Tong had such a good habit, closing the door as she entered?
Just as Crew Member B reached out to push the door open, the stone lion beside it suddenly opened its jaws wide.
"Snap!"
With a familiar sound, the upper half of Crew Member B was already gone, devoured by the stone lion.
Then, like the previous four, the lower half of his body quickly melted and disappeared in front of everyone’s eyes.
Seeing his companion bitten to death so suddenly, Crew Member A, only two steps away, was struck with a pale face of terror.
His legs gave way, and he collapsed to the ground.
To avoid suffering the same fate, he scrambled and crawled back to Lars’s side.
"Fuck! Fuck! Fuck!"
"How dare she? How dare she?"
"That bitch, I must kill her... kill her!"
Ramon was trembling with rage, cursing incessantly.
The smile that usually hung on his face was now impossible to maintain.
He never expected that all their hard work, sacrificing people, would end up benefiting someone else!
It’s a pity none of them had the courage to push the door earlier.
Otherwise, how could a weak woman from Dragon Country have gained the advantage?
Unlike Ramon’s outburst, Lars remained much calmer.
However, his face was equally ashen and looked extremely grim.
But at least the outcome matched his previous deductions.
The four stone lions guarding the door allowed an opportunity to open it after devouring one person.
And when the door closed again, the same procedure must be repeated—sacrifice four people.
"So, all we need to do is follow the previous steps..."
Lars muttered to himself.
At this moment, Thomas and the others were filled with regret.
When they saw Yan Tong push the door open, they were all in shock.
This woman from Dragon Country was so lucky!
She actually pushed the door open!
Wait... what’s she doing now?
When they saw Yan Tong sneaking through the slightly open door, they were all dumbfounded again.
Damn it!
Why wasn’t it me who pushed that door earlier?
If I had pushed the door open, would I too have escaped Lars and the others’ threat by now?
At this thought, a wave of "regret" surged in their hearts.
Just a little more courage, and they might have been the ones to leave!
Zhang Songkang was left stunned, unable to come to his senses for a long time.
Did she... really just leave?
Is she safe now?
Imagine if I had bravely stepped up earlier and pushed that door open for Yan Tong, then...
I could have earned her gratitude, maybe even her affection.
And I could have escaped danger too.
If I’d then contacted those outside for rescue, wouldn’t I be marrying a wealthy beauty and reaching the peak of life?
"Send three more up!"
At this moment, Lars’s cold, merciless voice shattered Zhang Songkang’s daydream.
The group quickly lowered their heads, trembling as before.
Who wants to be bitten to death by a stone lion?
No one does!
...
On the rescue ship gradually approaching the nameless island, Yan Ya frowned slightly as she looked at her phone.
"How about it, did you find her?"
Yan Jun asked anxiously beside her.
"Despite the weak signal, the satellite location still pinpointed her phone; it’s in the nearby sea,"
Yan Ya replied in a deep voice.
"What do you mean? Did Fifth Sister’s phone fall into the sea?"
Yan Jun blinked and asked puzzledly.
"Yes!"
Yan Ya nodded slightly, then raised her head to look forward.
She had confirmed Yan Tong’s phone location through satellite positioning; it was nearby.
But all around was endless ocean, with no sign of any islands or land.
So, there’s only one answer...
Yan Tong’s phone is in the sea!
"What do we do then? Are we going to dive to get the phone?"
Yan Jun scratched his head and said.
Yan Ya glanced askance at her sixth brother, shook her head, and said, "It’s not findable, nor do we have time to search!"
Then she asked, "By the way, what about the other missing people, do they have phone locations?"
"Yes!"
Yan Jun nodded and said, "I asked earlier, and the families have also located their phones through satellite tracking."
"They’re on the nameless island we passed by on the cruise yesterday."
"It can be determined that Fifth Sister and the others should really have gone into that blood-colored building..."
As the siblings talked, Qingyue, standing by, suddenly spoke up, "Mom, Uncle, there seems to be something there!"
"What thing?"
Yan Jun looked in the direction she pointed, then instinctively opened his mouth.
In the distance on the bow deck, a figure was appearing out of thin air.
Yes, out of thin air!
As the figure gradually solidified, disbelief appeared on Yan Ya and Yan Jun’s faces.
"Fifth... Fifth Sister?"
Yan Jun’s mouth dropped wide open, as if he could swallow a watermelon.
His eyes flashed with incredulous light.
This scene was so shocking!
It was like a person transforming in midair!
He was entirely sure no one was on the bow deck before!
Yet, in just a moment, a living person appeared there.
And that living person was their very own Yan Tong, whom they were searching for.
Like Yan Jun, Yan Ya was also extremely shocked.
But her emotions were not as outwardly expressed.
She had long trained herself to control her feelings; if not for the surprise in her eyes, no one would detect her current mood.
"Did she really come out?"
Yan Tong, looking at the unfamiliar surroundings and her stunned brother and sister nearby, had a smile returning to her face...
