Chapter Seventy-Three: Nightfall

"Holy Light Perception"

As a member of the Holy Army, Celeste has both divine and knightly abilities.

As soon as he stepped out, a warm holy light spread from the soles of his feet, and the circle of light spread directly to every corner of the Baker family's mansion...... The feedback is still 'empty'.

"No one?"

The Cass team that followed was also surprised.

I thought it would be a big battle, but who knows...... Something is unusual.

Han Dong stared at the empty mansion, even most of the furniture and decorations inside had been emptied, and most of the curse marks had been touched, losing their due pollution effect.

Sislet immediately gave the order:

"It's impossible for hundreds of people to disappear into thin air, so the two of you are in a team and search for this building separately...... Notify me immediately of any findings, and no one of you is allowed to act on your own. ”

"Good!"

The detachment is the same as before.

Cass and Sophia work together to conduct a detailed search of the first and second floors of the mansion with Sislet.

Han Dong and Coslin are a team responsible for the search in the back garden area.

The back garden has been left untended all year round, and the weeds are more than the knees of two people.

Aside from a foul-smelling pool, a clearing with a large spell mark, and a pavilion crawling with stone-blooded plants, the back garden was of little note.

The Great Spell Seal is also destroyed, and does not have the ability to contaminate.

There are tree-like traces in the clearing where the spell mark is, and it seems that a large tree used to grow here, but it has disappeared for some unknown reason.

Han Dong came directly to the foul-smelling pool.

"Senior Koslin, can you find the outlet of the waterhole?"

"Yes."

Koslin, who had worked with him once, had a completely different attitude towards Han Dong.

When Han Dong pointed this out, Kosling immediately hooked it up, and through a retractable iron rod device, it detected the metal drain at the lower end of the waterhole and opened it.

"I'll go down and see...... Senior Koslin, go to the pavilion and look for clues. ”

"Hmm."

Han Dong used the ghoul's arm to borrow his strength and carefully jumped down the four-meter-deep pool.

The bottom of the waterhole is covered with moss, as well as some jet-black plants.

When Han Dong shaved the moss with his hands, he found a giant spell mark that was identical to the one on the bounty order...... Unlike the previously discovered sigils, this one is complete.

"Good luck! Looks like I've got it right. ”

When the spell mark sensed the approaching of the living person, it immediately emitted a crimson luster, and at the same time, dense small eyes grew to meet Han Dong's eyes.

"Hey......"

Han Dong could only stretch out his hand with an embarrassed smile and absorb all these little eyes.

The reason why the back garden was chosen and located in this foul-smelling waterhole was because of what was recorded on the last page of the diary.

The vigilante who died suddenly was searching the waterhole and saw eyeball visions in the water, which led to subsequent pollution and sudden death.

Han Dong, who had absorbed the eyeballs and destroyed the spell seal, pretended that nothing had happened, and cleaned up the mark by the way, so as not to arouse the suspicion of Celest.

"Han Dong, about three steps to your right, there is a subtle evil qi overflowing."

Suddenly, a voice echoed in Han Dong's mind...... Unexpectedly, Miss Chen Li is also always paying attention to the external situation.

"Huh!?"

Fully activate the power of the ghoul's arm, and forcibly break the tiles on the ground according to Chen Li's instructions.

Sure enough, a hidden switch that can be controlled by hand was discovered.

"Senior Koslin, please inform everyone to come over, I have found something here!"

After a while, a group of people who searched the mansion to no avail all came to the back garden...... Staring at the secret switch found by Han Dong, Sislet just said lightly:

"Good job, you come up first."

As Han Dong climbed up the waterhole.

Sislet immediately changed the form of his left light shield, turning it into a whip of light that pinpointed around the switch at the bottom.

Pull hard.

Airplanes!

A secret door hidden at the bottom of the pool opens upwards, corresponding to a pitch-black underground passage.

"Do secret rituals take place underground? The whole incident was really planned for a long time. ”

"Sister, shall we go down?"

"No...... The dangerous location below here, and there may even be medium or high pollution traps set up inside the passage, and if you follow me, you will only be held back.

In addition, there are problems with the mansion.

At least when I started my search for the mansion just now, I had a vague feeling that there should be some evil hidden in the mansion.

I went down alone to explore, looking for the sacrificial area.

You stay up there and clean up the Baker mansion...... If I need help, I'll contact you. ”

"Sister, you have to be careful." Fia was worried.

"Don't worry, what is outside the city wall will not kill me, and there is naturally no evil thing in this holy city that can threaten my life."

After speaking, Celeste looked at Han Dong, who was wearing a bird's beak doctor costume.

"You can quickly find the hidden switch in this secret passage...... Are you a student majoring in Divination? ”

"It's not...... Majoring in [Plague Science], he discovered the switch through fungal induction. ”

"Not bad...... You big men, you must take care of Fia! If I find out she's hurt and you're fine, don't blame me for skinning you! ”

"Definitely!" Cass immediately responded, "Knight, be careful! ”

End of conversation.

Celeste went underground alone.

Han Dong's team returned to the mansion and began to search and clear the remaining evil objects in the mansion.

It's dusk.

To ensure safety, Kosling hung portable kerosene lamps in various locations throughout the mansion to ensure that the mansion was well lit during the mission.

The four of them launched a carpet search of the mansion

Half an hour passed, but nothing was found.

Han Dong didn't have a clue either.

There was no clue or information, all the books in the study were emptied, and the only diary found was torn off the crucial pages.

Night falls.

Kerosene lamps were installed in advance to illuminate the entire mansion.

The four of them were concentrated in the study, slightly 'anxious'.

Cass is currently worried that Sislet's strength is too strong, and he will emptieth all the pollution sources and cultists in the underground area by himself...... And his party didn't do anything at all.

When the time comes, it will be directly assessed as a failing grade, and you will not get any rewards.

However, Sislet emphasized that the crowd was not allowed to go down without her instructions.

“…… I'll go to another room and search again, maybe there are some missing compartments that haven't been found yet. ”

Just as Cass walked out of the study door.

Han Dong seemed to have received some signal, and hurriedly exclaimed:

"Cass! Be careful! ”

Kas has now pushed the wooden door completely open.

I saw a woman hidden in a white cloth with root-like tentacles on the surface of her body, floating through the doorway.

Hee-hee~

A heart-palpitating laugh echoed through the mansion.

"Ghost ...... Phantom! ”
