Son-In-Law Gets an Upgrade

Chapter 1249 Door Of The Living 

Alex had never heard of such a situation in his life. The only thing he knew was that Megan had not lied to him. It seems this place is really eerie! Perhaps the people from Elysian Guild come up with this method because they fear my strength and don’t have the nerve to confront me directly. They want to trap me here forever, just like Megan.

“Stop crying. It won’t help. I will take you out of here,” Alex comforted.

Megan seemed to have tired herself out from crying. Alex’s words brought her great comfort. Hence, she obediently said, “You said you’d take ime out, Alex. Please don’t lie to me!”

Alex patted Megan’s head, chuckling lightly as he said, “Don’t worry! I won’t deceive you. I just need to figure out how to get out of this place first.”

At that moment, the voice of Jade echoed in Alex’s mind. “Master, we can’t stay here for long. Once it’s past midnight, there won’t be a way out for you. If you miss this opportunity to leave, you’ll have to wait until a week later.”

Alex never imagined that there was a time limit to the place. Additionally, it was somehow linked to the inauspicious day marked in the almanac and that one could only leave on the next inauspicious day.

Alex wasn’t a genuine exorcist. He merely possessed some knowledge of the light and dark skills recorded in the Nine Heaven Scrolls.

Earlier, at nine, Megan appeared. Alex was busy figuring out how to deal with her, and the chaos that ensued wasted around an hour of his time. As such, there were only two hours left for them to escape.

A regular person might starve to death if they didn’t eat or drink for a week. However, for a Grandmaster, like Alex, he could survive pretty well without eating or drinking for a week.

Although, when Alex thought about how Stanley’s whereabouts were still unknown, he became more hellbent on escaping. He didn’t want to be trapped for a week..

Alex was swift, much faster than Megan. He planned to keep moving forward to see if the vast emptiness. truly stretched ahead infinitely.

Alex had probably been running for about ten minutes. Given his pace, if he were on the road, he’d have covered nearly three kilometers by then. This content © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

Suddenly, Alex spotted a red figure in the distance. Thinking he had reached his destination, he quickened his pace and ran towards it. However, when he got a clear view of the red figure, a hint of disappointment flashed in his eyes.

That person was none other than Megan, who had been patiently waiting in the same spot for Alex.

Alex paused, asking Megan, “Have you been standing here all this time?”

Megan nodded. After watching Alex set off in front of her and reappeared behind her, she cleverly understood that Alex was caught in a loop.

Earlier, Alex had promised her that he would take her away from that place. However, if even he himself couldn’t get out, how could he possibly take her away?

The thought of staying in that place forever brought tears to Megan’s eyes, her emotions even more. intense than before

Listening to her crying. Alex was somewhat speechless. He was disturbed to the point where he couldn’t think straight, let alone devise a plan to leave.

Sometimes, Alex couldn’t help but wonder if crying was the only solution for women when they encounter problems that they couldn’t solve.

“Stop crying. Continuing to cry won’t solve anything.” Alex comforted, patting Megan’s shoulder. If given the choice, I’d rather be stuck here alone than be with her. It’s just too noisy. I can’t even find a moment of peace.

Seeing that she couldn’t be calmed down, he opted to leave her to her own devices and stayed somewhere else.

After walking for a while, the heart-wrenching cries of Megan gradually faded away. Only then did Alex slowly disappear from her line of sight.

He was truly trapped inside because no matter how far he walked, he would always return to the starting point.

“Master, why do I feel like we’re inside an Eight Trigrams Formation? Can we get out if we can find the gate of life in this void?” Jade said in a childish voice.

A realization struck him after Alex listened to Jade’s words. Joy appeared on his face. If he could locate the core of the formation, perhaps he could find his way out.
