The Flower Is Finished

Because Michelle's condition was quite weak, several times she fainted but when Daniel gave an injection to slow down the poison. Michelle had already woken up but she was still weak. Occasionally she helped us.

She was injured but did not want to look weak. I could only sigh roughly seeing Michelle's stubbornness that was extraordinary right now. I do not know how many lives Michelle has in her life.

"Michelle already… better you just rest!" I said but she still shook her head with her pale face.

"No. I am still able!" The three of us looked at each other but on the other hand we also could not do much considering we did not understand medical knowledge and among them there were also some who were infected so we inevitably buried them even though there was debate among us and one family who opposed each other but we could not allow it because we were afraid it would spread through physical contact.

I kept looking at her and it seemed Michelle realized so she sighed roughly.

"Alright I will rest." After that Michelle moved away from the injured people and leaned against the wall.

After everything was finished we decided to continue the journey again and this time only twenty people followed and even some were still injured but not infected so we immediately hurried to get out of here because remembering the poison in Michelle's body would soon devour her entire body.

"Do you know where the exit is?" I asked Daniel and Daniel shook his head

because it seems this underground room is rarely passed then where did they enter the underground that leads to the Hall.

Is this path different from the underground that George passed? That is the question in my mind.

"Is this the path you passed?" I asked George, George immediately shook his head making me frown. "So in your opinion this is a path separated from when you entered the Hall room?"

"Yes Sir. this is a separate underground room but it seems this is also side by side we just need to break the wall and find where the right location is to find the underground rooms that are adjacent." I nodded because I also had no other choice except to find a way out.

"Michelle….. Michelle…" I called her name but she still did not wake up so I turned to the back and it turned out she was slightly unconscious and I immediately stretched out my hand to check Michelle's breathing and she had weak breathing so I panicked and told Daniel and George.

"It seems she is experiencing weak breathing." I said informing George and Daniel then they both looked at each other.

"Do you really not know what the medicine is?" I asked Daniel again. to the boy who is ten years old but he shook his head because in fact he is not from the Elf clan so he also does not want to make a choice that causes something to happen to Michelle.

"It seems the poison has also almost spread to her whole body if we do not get out of here soon. She can only last for three more hours from now she will leave this world. If late finding the medicine." he said softly at the end of the sentence and I immediately felt something uncomfortable.

Among us we started knocking slowly on this wall and we searched for where the door connected to the underground that George passed but quite long half an hour we did not find it.

"Does this really make sense?" now I was placing my ear on the wall. hearing the question from Daniel I immediately stopped my intention to knock this wall.

I stopped and turned to him.

"When you have no choice then find a way so you can determine a choice." I said then I continued again to search whether George's suggestion would be useful but on the other hand I also believed what George said because it also made sense.

"Alright I will follow your suggestion." After that Daniel also followed what I did but on the other hand some people had complained because they thought it was wasting time so some had given up but they could not speak loudly in front of me.

"Wait I found something strange." shouted someone. George immediately approached that direction and he started placing his ear on the wall to listen and as expected it seemed like a wall connected to the underground that George passed so he shouted.

"We found the way." I immediately approached George and placed my ear and listened carefully.

"But do you not hear something?" I asked because that sound felt familiar but George placed his ear again.

"It seems there is something different."

"But what sound is that?" George asked me again then I remembered about the rushing water that entered the palace so I assumed it was water flowing that would drown us.

"That is the sound of water."

"That is the sound of water." we said together then small cracks appeared making us slowly step back.

Crack

Crack

Crack

Crack

Crack

"We must leave immediately or we will be drowned by water." I reminded them and they nodded.

"Come on all of you. Move forward." I said loudly then they ran forward and George also followed to guide them.

I stayed still and looked at the wall that started to crack and slowly water began to enter this room even though it was still small but the crack became faster and the smell also became stronger.

"Come on Xanders... you run too." when I was looking at the crack suddenly Daniel shouted and instantly broke my imagination and I immediately rushed leaving that crack.

When I was running suddenly the sound of the wall cracking made water rush into this room.

Instantly this room was filled with water and the smell became strong when the water entered the underground.

"Run faster." George shouted loudly and some people screamed in fear after realizing that the water was faster than we expected and we had no choice but to run faster but because the water had already filled the underground it became difficult to run.

"Ah…..ah…." Some people fell and I immediately helped them.

"Come on I will help you." I said helping them to stand quickly then on the other side they looked at each other as if asking whether they could hold my hand.

"Hurry we have no time." After that they both grabbed my hands and slowly started walking.

"Thank you Sir." they said and I nodded.

Ahead there was a high staircase and George had already secured some people to a higher place.

"Sir this path is a dead end." George shouted then I stopped and looked at the high ceiling then looked at George who pointed to a closed wall.

"It is impossible this is a dead end there must be a hidden path that they have prepared before." I said while looking around and on the other side I was worried about Michelle because her breathing was very weak.

"Michelle…." I called her name but she did not move at all so I had no choice except to find a way out and save Michelle.

"Is our struggle useless?" someone said softly but I could still hear it.

"We will survive and it will not be useless after going through all of this." I said in a cold voice but on the other hand I was not sure. I could only breathe and think of a way.

I looked at the wall as if the wall was watching me.

"Does anyone bring a mirror?" I shouted loudly then one person raised a hand and she was a woman I had met before then how could she be here.

"Yes Sir." she said softly and bowed her head timidly then I approached her.

"Give it to me!" after that she handed it and I took the mirror. I tried to reflect it on the wall but nothing happened even no reflection appeared.

I kept directing the mirror to see the reflection and indeed at the top corner there was a reflection.

I told George to come closer and push according to my direction.

"George can you follow my direction?" I asked and George nodded.

"To the left then hold the corner." After that George followed my direction he started touching the wall.

KREK

SUDDENLY the door opened wide and instantly everyone was shocked seeing what was found. The water was getting higher so I immediately told them to enter the door.

"Hurry you all enter that door." After that they all entered but George still waited for me.

I told the others to go even though he hesitated but he also wanted to get out of here because the water was already deep so George approached me and stretched his hand.

I almost fell and luckily George pulled my hand. "You are tired." he said but I shook my head.

"Come on we do not have much time." After that I entered and did not forget to close the door to make sure the water did not enter.

When we were walking through this room suddenly light appeared clearly and I was sure it was the door which was the back door of the hall.

"Finally we managed to get out of the Hall." George said with a slight smile but the suffering did not end here instead there was something else that made me sigh roughly.
