Chapter 84: Christmas (5)
In the carriage returning to 13 Bailonz Street, Liam Moore finally made a heartfelt confession.
“The cave,” he began.
“Remember? You said it was dug out with something like claws.”
Indeed, I had found it strange that it had been dug so inefficiently. The next words made the hairs on the back of my neck stand up.
“It was dug out by hand. By someone alone.”
It was a horrifying thought. Could it really have been dug out by fingers?
No one can dig through the earth and make it this far by hand. They would starve, die of exhaustion, or suffocate from lack of oxygen!
“Impossible!”
Liam Moore nodded. Honestly, it would be impossible for any human. At the very least, they would need tools to stay alive. He spoke in a hushed tone.
