The Invisible Mogul novel Chapter 1913

“It’s fine if you don’t get it. Whatever the case is, I’m going to be having an out-of-body experience now to check if my theory is correct! With that said, be sure to guard my body well in the meantime!” said Gerald.

“Got it, Mr. Crawford! Do be careful!” replied Rey as Gerald nodded before lying down…

Shortly after, his ghost form shot out from his body before diving downward!

Continuing to dive deeper and deeper, Gerald eventually came across the source of the duo’s plight… True to Gerald’s guess, there really was a giant mechanism underneath them this entire time!

With that mystery solved, Gerald knew that in order for them to escape this hellish loop, they would need to take a literal leap of faith after finding a specific number on the stairs… If they didn’t, they could very well end up living the rest of their lives on these stairs…

Regardless, now that he had learned all this, Gerald bolted back to his physical body… and upon re-entering it, he instantly yelled, “Bingo!”

Since Gerald had made such an abrupt return, it scared the living daylights out of Rey!

Once the youth finally calmed down, he could only look helplessly at Gerald as he muttered between pants, “D-d*mn it, Mr. Crawford…! You almost gave me a heart attack…! Don’t go shouting so abruptly…!”

To be fair, being all alone in such darkness would make anyone feel utterly terrified…

While even Gerald was momentarily stunned by Rey’s reaction, he quickly snapped out of it before saying, “…Got it! Anyway, listen, I think I’ve found a way to get out of this place!”

“…H-huh? Really? Then what are we waiting for, Mr. Crawford? Lead the way!” replied Rey, instantly forgetting about being scared half to death just seconds earlier. After all, Rey’s priority was to leave this place as soon as possible since he felt that he would go mad from anxiety if he had to stay in this place any longer…

Nodding in agreement, Gerald then began leading Rey down the stairs again… and eventually, he found the exact spot they needed to be at.
