Chloe quickly zeroed in on the main point, "Are you saying we're completely cut off from the outside world, like birds trapped in a cage on this island?" Suddenly, it dawned on Chloe that the grand theater's architecture looked like a giant birdcage. Everyone on this island-whether it was the handsome but mute bartenders, the actors doomed to perform only once in their lifetime, or even them were all Claire's caged playthings, unable to escape.
Connor spoke up again, "Don't worry too much. Teddy and I have a secret code. If he can't reach me, it means I'm in trouble, and he'll figure something out.”
Connor locked eyes with Chloe, "If you get a chance, you have to leave. Don't worry about anyone else. Just go. Don't hesitate, okay?"
Chloe looked back at Connor, her face slowly calming down, "What about you?"
Connor's eyes darkened a bit, "Don't worry, I won't die. I'll negotiate with her. I still have one last card to play."
But even Connor wasn't sure if Claire would care about that card. His situation was pretty dire. Right now, breaking the island's communication blockade was crucial. Luckily, this was his specialty. All he needed was a computer.
Connor said, "Let's head back to the villa. Starting today, you need to stick with Pax like glue, and ideally... even share a room with him at night. If things get rough, he can be your leverage."
Chloe, having chosen to side with Connor, could only nod and follow his plan, "Okay."
Connor drove them to the seaside castle villa. Soon, they were inside.
Connor mentioned, "If we had a computer, we'd have a much better shot at this."
Chloe quickly added, “There's a study on the third floor. I've been there. It has a computer."
Connor chimed in, "I've been there too, but today the door was locked."
Previously, when they had gone there, the door had keys in it. But when Connor checked at noon, the keys had been taken by the butler Connor was considering looking for the butler but didn't want to tip anyone off.
Chloe said, "That's easy."
They were already at the study door on the third floor. The door wasn't secured by some high-tech password or electronic lock, just a traditional keyhole. The lock and key were handcrafted, like something out of a Medieval castle, with the keys themselves being quite artistic.
Chloe pulled a slender silver pin from her hair. She inserted it into the keyhole and jiggled it a few times. The door swung open instantly.
Connor's jaw dropped, "That's one of the most complex palace locks in the world. How did you do that?"
Chloe shrugged innocently, "I don't know, just fiddled with it a bit and it opened."
Soon, they were both in the study. Sure enough, there was a computer on the desk After turning it on, Connor found the island's satellitework. What followed was beyond Chloe's understanding. She saw countless windows pop up on the screen. Connor's fingers flew across the keyboard, lines of code spilling out like water.
Chloe clouldn't help,, so she moved closer to the door to keep an eye on the outside. Soon enough, she heard footsteps approaching.
