The Numbers That Brought Our Fates Together 282 The Reason To Get Rid Of Moral Principles.

David was looking at the seething water stream, and only the tiny remnants of his mind were holding him back with their strength so as not to rush into this swirling liquid after Elena. His body was trembling with fear and tension, but his inner voice confidently suggested that she was alive.

For some reason, he knew and believed that the connection between them was so strong that if something had happened to his wife, he would have felt it instantly.

"I suggest going back and finding suitable equipment, it's now impossible for us to get to the other side," Armand estimated the consequences of the destruction. At the site of the failed floor, there was a pit no less than three meters long, an underground river was pa.s.sing through tunnels a level lower, and the direction of its flow was also unknown.

The remaining stones blocked the path, and water struggled through them, creating noisy foam and splashes, as when the waves of the sea hit the rocks.

"Even if by some miracle Marcus had some kind of the rope or some other suitable equipment in his car, there is no sense for us to cross to the other side. You yourself saw that these tunnels are like a labyrinth, if we go further, this does not mean that we will approach them, on the contrary, we can find ourselves in the completely opposite side from Elena," David straightened up and shook his knees, standing still and losing precious time was no longer possible.

"I can once again scan the pyramid and the location of the tunnels outside, plus we can detect their biofields," Armand followed the man, David looked very focused, as if counting his every move. He climbed back to the upper room and went further along the winding corridor towards the exit from the pyramid.

When Daniel saw his brother, his anxiety decreased significantly, but when he realized that only Armand and David had returned, this feeling renewed with a bigger vigor. He knew his brother very well, and by the look of David, Daniel guessed that he was on the verge.

At such moments, David gave priority only to the main goal, he could sweep away everything else without thinking, regardless of what measures would be required for this, including the most extreme ones.

"What happened? Where are the others?"

"Car keys," David said instead of answering his brother's question, "You are with me," David turned to Rick, who was standing next to him, and as soon as the car key was in his hands, he grabbed Rick by the hand and they both evaporated in the air.

"What the f.u.c.k is going on?! Armand, where is Elena? Judging by David's condition, something obviously happened! I felt some strange s.h.i.+ver underground," Daniel hoped to hear a clear explanation from at least this man, but Armand was tense no less than the younger Anderson.

He focused his eyes on the pyramid to find the location of Marcus and Elena, but to his regret and surprise, except for the tunnels of the structure itself, he saw nothing. "d.a.m.n, how is that possible?!" The man irritably ran a hand through his hair and finally answered Daniel, "Elena and Marcus are gone. At the third level, there was a collapse, and both of them were washed away by the flow of the underground river, we returned to find their location from here, but..."

"But what? Just don't tell me that they are-"

"That's the point, Daniel, that I don't see them at all. In this d.a.m.ned pyramid, not only do our abilities not work, but I can't even detect them from the outside," Armand sat down on the ground and put his head on his knees. For a long time, he did not feel so exhausted and helpless.

The tunnel along which the river was flowing was divided into three others, which one Marcus and Elena fell into, what was in it, and how they could get out of there - all this Armand could not see.

The levels were built in such a way that they did not directly intersect with one another. Apparently, secret pa.s.sages that opened with special combinations, as one of those on which the sun and little men were depicted, served as transitions between them.

But only Elena could make out the meaning of these ciphers. Going into the unknown without this information would be equal to suicide.

At this time, Rick watched as David opened the back door of the car in which they arrived, took the bag from there and took out a gun from it. After checking that there were enough rounds in the carbine, he put on a holster on his belt, hid the pistol there, and from the other side attached an army knife and a syringe with incomprehensible liquid.

He took a medical kit from a box under the front panel and put several drugs in a small backpack, including an antiseptic, plasters, a tourniquet and bandages. The set of the standard first-aid kit did not contain a lot of things, but for David, it was better than nothing.

There were already a couple of T-s.h.i.+rts in this backpack that Elena had put on just in case, and David regretted not listening to her and not taking more clothes for changing. The water under the ground was definitely cold, the pyramid itself was dark and damp, and he was worried that his wife could freeze very much and catch a cold by the time they found them.

The man threw the backpack over his shoulders, it was Elena's backpack, and on his wide back it looked a little unusual, but the style details at the moment concerned him the least. David slammed the car door and walked over to Rick, "Did you bring any equipment with you? Ropes or something? Did you know where we were going?"

Rick was already aware of the situation, as David told about what had happened while poking around in the car, "No, I did not know. Recently, Marcus was not very talkative, on the contrary, every day he began to behave more and more strange. Sometimes it seemed to me that he had something going on with his head. But when we went here, he ordered to take along a long rope and flashlights, most of them you took with you when you left. I still have a rope in my bag and several signal and light missiles, the bag is there. What do you want to do?"

So, the secrecy of Marcus extended to those who were with him all the time. There was a possibility that he began to suspect Rick that he was doing things behind him. David exhaled slowly and rubbed his face with his hands, "I don't know what I want to do, I'm not sure that I can think rationally now. Definitely, the most important thing now is to get Elena out of there."

"David, don't be fooled by the fact that Marcus defended your life, this person is so two-faced that he is ready to pretend that he is sacrificing something, then to use another person in his interests. More than one went from his hands to the next world, however, they were all far from the image of respectable people, so I do not mind, but still. I don't know what you and Daniel have in mind, but as for me... I'm ready to kill this man at the first chance."

Rick did not hide his intentions from his friend, Marcus made it absolutely clear that he would not tolerate disobedience, and his behavior openly demonstrated that he doubted Rick's loyalty. This game could not continue indefinitely and someday it should come to its logical conclusion.

"Daniel has developed a serum that should block his ability, if we succeed, Marcus will no longer be a danger. Moreover, I don't think Armand will allow anything to happen to his brother." David was not a supporter of such extreme measures as murder, but he was ready to get rid of his moral principles if Marcus made any attempt to harm his wife.

If their powers did not work in the pyramid, then the bullet in the pistol would work for sure.

Although Marcus's body remained immortal, the level of its regeneration in the dungeon was negligible, and therefore the consequences of injuries were more serious.

All David had to do to make the final decision was to see Elena. And what he would be ready to do with Marcus depended on what she would be like at that moment. Even if it meant that he would have to stain his hands in blood.
