The Plan to Retreat and Advance
Ethan and his companions' efforts did not yield immediate success.
They had spent a considerable amount of time searching the four floors of the hotel, but to no avail.
There was no hiding place to be found.
After a while, all three of them regrouped in Ethan's room.
It was time for a careful discussion about their next steps.
"We can't continue this haphazard search of the entire hotel. While the hotel isn't large, we haven't found any place where they could hide. The individuals in black must be using some unknown method to remain hidden. We need to rethink our approach. Continuing this aimless search will only waste more time. If we can't find them in the next few days, they might successfully escape. After all, once the storm subsides, all the guests will choose to leave the hotel."
At this moment, Prophet Magus's mood was utterly dismal.
He had initially believed that the clues they had gathered would be of great assistance.
