His eyebrows slightly knitted, "We assumed that there must be a switch, a gate valve, or at least something akin to a key that is critical to opening the main gate—without it, it's impossible to open."
"But this information was conveyed by Lin Pei."
"What do you mean? He deliberately misled us?" Gu Yu stopped what she was doing.
"Not necessarily, he might also think that what he is looking for is a 'key.' We think he is looking for a 'key,' so we also follow suit, but leaving the replica might not necessarily require opening the main gate."
"You mean there's another way to escape the replica?" Gu Yu pondered for a moment, "That can't be right. If there really was another way, why would Lin Pei bother to help us distract the Alien away from the gate?"
"When he killed the Alien, he didn't seem to be pretending," Shen Yi added.
Xu Huo said, "Lin Pei learned of a way to leave the town through some unknown channel, but his method might not be correct."
