Revenge After Death (Michael and Stephanie) novel Chapter 424

The words "13th floor" were written on the wall.

But there was no way to get in.

"Where's Taylor? He ran off earlier. Where could he have gone?" Quinn asked curiously.

Eason checked the wall carefully. "It's a solid wall—no gaps, no way to move it. It's stuck in place."

I patted the wall and looked back at the exit stairway leading downstairs. "Can't we just walk down?"

The 13th floor was blocked off. Were we supposed to go straight to 12?

No more games?

"She's my wife."

"Divorce is an option."

"I'm not getting a divorce."

Behind me, Steven and Michael were still debating about the possibility of a divorce…

I sighed. The air around us became tense.

"Get over here!"

Steven ran over staggeredly. "Honey…"

"Figure out what's going on." I feel like I wasn't even as smart as Steven was at the moment. My memories had not completely recovered, so my brain was still a bit of a mush.

Steven was overjoyed that he could be of service to me.

"The 13th floor is blocked off. There's probably something that we're not supposed to see in there. Let's just go straight down to 12.

"I want to get out of here, not look at what each floor has to offer." Steven started making his way downstairs while holding my hand.

The safe passage led straight to the 12th floor.

Everyone seemed to be curious about what was on the 13th floor and why it was blocked off.

As the saying went, curiosity killed the cat.

"What's on the 13th? Why is it off limits?" Eason asked curiously.

"There's a secret passageway that leads straight to the first floor. How else did you think the people behind this got up?

"The 13th floor is the control hub for the entire building. It's where they controlled the holograms on the 14th floor as well. It's also where the people who fell through the floor ended up at," Steven explained.

Of course, they needed a control center for such a huge building. Especially with the amount of technology set up on the 14th. An entire floor was needed to store all the necessary equipment.

Zion caught the main point and looked at Steven with a bright expression. "So, Rachel and Joel might've just fallen down and are actually still alive? They just wanted us to feel sad and hopeless?"

"I'm not sure. I can only tell you that innocent people won't die." Steven shook his head.

Everyone fell under the influence of the gas back then. If all of us had crossed the red line and fallen, those who were guilty would've been immediately killed off by the people downstairs. On the other hand, those who weren't supposed to die would've been set free in advance.

If Joel and Rachel were indeed innocent, they wouldn't need to worry about their lives being in danger.
