Chapter 401 She Wanted to Take a Gamble
With a hard push of her arms, Jean clumsily flipped over the side gate. Then, without pause, she broke into a sprint, her feet moving as fast as she could.
She had no idea how long she had been running. When she finally noticed she was in a busy part of town, she slowed down and came to a stop.
To be honest, even if security had caught me, it wouldn’t have been the end of the world.
At worst, I can just come clean about who I’m.
Why do I even run that fast?
Jean shook her head, letting out a quiet laugh at herself.
She started walking slowly along the street, letting her breathing steady again.
In her mind, she tried to recall the address Ludwig had written on that little slip of paper.
Now that her nerves had calmed, doubt began to creep in-
Would Ludwig really be there?
Worse, a troubling thought surfaced-
Is that note on the nightstand really written by him?
In a situation like this, Jean had no choice but to raise her guard.
If the note hadn’t come from Ludwig, then I had just walked straight into a trap.
In this case-
Jean pulled out her phone again.
The safest move would be to call Jolene and confirm Ludwig’s whereabouts.
Jolene probably wouldn’t lie to me.
She lit up the screen, found Jolene’s contact, and dialed the number.
It connected–but no one answered.
Jean waited patiently for a while. Still no response. She had no choice but to hang up.
Seriously?
I couldn’t reach Jolene either.
Frowning, Jean scratched her head, mind racing.
Right now, I have to make a decision–fast.
Should I head to the address on the note, or go back the way I came?

She pulled out the slip of paper again and took a closer look.
That address-
It was very close to the amusement park where the Abyssal Choir had held the last routine meeting
Jean’s eyes lit up slightly.
That means there is a good chance Ludwig really is there.
I want to take a gamble–go to the address and look for him.
I need to know how he is. Otherwise, I won’t have peace of mind.
Of course, I won’t allow myself to walk into danger unprepared.
Jean edited a scheduled SOS message on her phone.
If anything happens to me, the message will be sent automatically to Sienna.
If everything goes fine, I can cancel it in time.
After finishing her preparation, Jean flagged down a taxi and gave the driver the address.
The place Ludwig had written down turned out to be an incredibly unremarkable motel.
It was tucked deep in a narrow alley, old and run–down on the outside.
After getting out of the taxi, Jean walked for a few minutes through the alley. Once she spotted the motel, she stepped right into the lobby.
The lobby was barebones. Only one person stood behind the front desk.
It was an elderly man wearing a pair of reading glasses.
When he saw Jean walk in, he instinctively looked up and stared at her for a moment. “Looking to stay here? You seem a little young… Not sure I can let you check in by yourself. Where are your parents?”
Jean met his eyes and replied calmly, “I’m not here to stay. I’m looking for someone- “My brother’s staying here.”
The old man didn’t say much more after that.
Jean continued walking forward…
This motel even the lift is poor.
Is Ludwig really staying here?
That’s quite unfair, isn’t it? The surroundings are even more terrible than the Palette Building.
Ding.
The lift arrived at the floor that Jean pressed.
The door opened, Jean walked out from the lift faster.

Based on the room number that Ludwig provided, Jean arrived at the room at the end of the corridor.
