After close to three hours, Jack finally unraveled three-quarters of the rune diagrams. Wilted Tree was amazed by Jack's tenacity.

Wilted Tree who heard it, hurriedly came by and said, "Please don't do that! If you do that, I'm sure there will be an alarm going off. Everyone will come here by then."
"This stone walls won't hold me. I will be long gone by the time they arrive."
"But they will find us here," Wilted Tree said.
