Chapter 169 The Dungeon (2)
The sound of suppressed sobbing, and also crying.
This immediately made her forget about the severe pain at the back of her head, and her attention was fully focused on her surroundings.
There was no light at all, and in order to find out what was around, one had to explore on their own.
So just now she reached out and touched Zoe’s and the little boy’s arms, right beside her.
And even if we were not tied up, are we sure that we would not be able to escape?
Valerie is now calm and terrifying: her mind was thinking frantically about how to get out.
Then I heard Zoe next to me starting to wake up.
“Okay…”
Zoe felt slightly relieved when she heard Valerie’s voice.
At this moment, Carlo, who was lying aside, also slowly regained consciousness from his coma.
“Huh? Where am I? Has it gotten dark?”
Just waking up, Carlo was still groggy, looking at a pitch-black basement where he couldn’t see anything, thinking it was already dark outside.
“There was no nightfall, and we were locked up.”

Valerie’s voice instantly reminded Carlo of the situation before he fainted.
Shivering for a moment, he slowly moved toward Valerie’s voice, feeling the warmth emanating from the surroundings, and obediently stayed by her side.
Not crying or pacing anxiously like the other children, just staying by Valerie’s side.
Because he was also a little scared.
“Sister, what should we do now?”
Carlo whispered, unable to see any light at all in this place.
Human hearts will always wander and be afraid.
“Now I need to figure out the structure of this basement, as well as its height and locate where its door is. As long as I can know that, I will be able to find a solution.”
Listening to Valerie’s words, Carlo furrowed his brow, pondering if he could help Valerie in any way.
Leaning forward, suddenly, Carlo’s body jolted as he felt a pressing sensation beside his thigh.
“Sister!!”
The excited shouts made Valerie tremble all over.
“What were you doing?”
“Sister! I had a flashlight!”
Saying that, he reached into his pocket and took out a silver small ball
with a concave part, inside of which was a piece of glass.
Carlo pressed one of the buttons, and a strong light illuminated the dark basement, just like an indoor lamp.
“Why did you carry it with you?!”
Valerie looked at the intense light, controlled her excited emotions, and lowered her voice to ask.
Carlo also lowered his voice and answered quietly.
“I went to learn basketball this morning and the coach gave me a good performance!”
Valerie and Zoe’s bags had been taken by those people.
So at this time, Carlo’s basketball flashlight was truly a godsend.
Valerie was not vague. In the strong light, she saw the true face of this basement.
The damp ground and walls would occasionally have water seeping in.
or dripping from the ceiling.
Some corners of the wall had already started to mold, and the door here was on the ceiling, just high enough to be flipped out with a raised hand.
Valerie pushed a few times to try, and the stone door loosened slightly, but it remained firmly stuck.
It seems that the door was locked.
She shifted her gaze around and noticed that some walls had a ventilation opening leading to another room.
The crying of the child just came out from here.
She bent down to see how the child was doing over there.
“Um, what’s your name?”
“Sister, ask for Carlo.”
Valerie’s eyes widened in an instant.
She turned her head to look at the tall boy who had already gone through puberty.
If it weren’t for his eyebrows and eyes not fully developed, Valerie would hardly recognize him.
“Carlo? Did you participate in a variety show when you were a child?”
“Hey, yeah, sis, do you watch it too?”
Valerie suddenly chuckled softly.
“Do you remember me?”
