Matthew pulled the knot, thinking it will be let go in a matter of minutes, but the whole tunnel became lit up as soon as he tugged it. He was taken aback by the effect while Carmela retrieved her hand once again. She held it close to her chest as she saw the deep darkness underneath the tunnel.

She shed some light over there as the lanterns continuously lit up. Matthew didn't know what he pulled in and looked at Marcus in shock, only to find out that the lights were opening up on the tunnel one by one. He turned off the small penlight he was holding and let him be amazed by the underground tunnel that was built in a hefty way.
