"Suturing? Aren't you a major in plague? ”

"It's all in the occult category, and before the talent tree is established, try to learn it in all aspects to see what you're best suited for."

After that, Han Dong deliberately took the needle and thread to figure it around the center of his eyebrows, pretending to thread it.

Han Dong naturally learned a little bit of the basics of suturing, and he did this just to disguise the "Little Demon Eye" as an ability of suturing.

The moment the little magic eye opened.

Han Dong pressed the 'pollution release' back into his eyes as much as possible, but there was still a subtle smell of pollution, overflowing from around the eye sockets.

However, because the Maldini mansion itself was already filled with a strange atmosphere, Cass and the others did not notice it.

Only Celest, who was walking at the end, cast a puzzled look and muttered softly, "This kid...... I've learned new tricks again. ”

Han Dong also felt Celest's gaze, and was helpless for a while, thinking:

"Whew...... It seems that the little magic eye still needs to be further 'polished', even if I suppress it with all my might, there will still be a small amount of pollution emitted. Cass has no doubts because of the absolute trust between him and me.

Now it seems that it is simply impossible to deceive the official knights.

Before the [Knight Training] is opened, the eyes that must be disguised to be the same as those that are stitched up. ”

With the Magic Eye activated.

Han Dong finally saw some unusual 'things' in the mansion.

A shallow layer of fog appeared inside the mansion.

Cover doors, lighting, brass metal fixtures, and corner areas.

As far as Han Dong is concerned, he does not feel the danger of the fog.

…………

As the team stepped onto the third floor, the footsteps wandering in the master bedroom had disappeared.

The door to the master bedroom was closed and there was no sign of opening.

"Didn't leave the room? Just sleepwalking in your room...... Wrong. ”

This is Cass's house, and it is rude to trespass into the master bedroom at night, and may even anger Viscount Alex...... However, tonight is also a great opportunity to find out the truth of the matter.

Cass had already made an excuse and came to the door of the master bedroom.

"Wait for me, I'll knock on the door."

Knock knock knock......

There was a continuous knock on the door, but there was no response from inside the master bedroom.

Realizing that something was not quite right, Cass directly slammed his palm at the lock position, completely shattering the mechanical parts inside.

The loud sound of destroying the door still did not disturb the parents in the master bedroom.

When Cass pushed the door in, Han Dong and the others immediately followed.

The kerosene lamp is turned on, and the warm flame light immediately illuminates the master bedroom completely.

Only Cass's mother lay in bed, but Viscount Alex was nowhere to be seen.

Celeste immediately stepped forward to examine Cass's mother, "Breathing normally, but her spirit has been affected and she has fallen into a deep sleep...... This should continue until early in the morning. ”

Hearing that his mother was safe, Cass also breathed a sigh of relief.

The next step is to solve the mystery of the 'escape room'.

Windows and bedroom doors are locked from the inside.

The fireplace mouth can't pass through a person's body at all...... How did Viscount Alex leave the room?

"The fog has aggravated the ...... The fog in the master bedroom is about three times as dense as the outside, but the fog is not dangerous for the time being, and it is not known what it does. ”

In addition, relying on the special vision of the [Little Demon Eye], Han Dong could still see the footprints left on the wooden floor.

Same as the footsteps I heard before.

Viscount Alex had 'walked in circles' around the room.

A circle of regular, overlapping footprints remains on the ground, perfectly circled, without any deviation from a single step.

Just as Cass and the others searched the master bedroom, trying to find the secret compartment.

Han Dong recalled the footsteps he had heard earlier.

At the same frequency, compare the footprints and start walking in circles.

Exactly ten laps!

The wall facing the bedroom bed began to turn slowly.

Smooth mechanical movement without any frictional sound.

A hidden passage with the east and west buildings is revealed.

Viscount Alex was able to go directly from the master bedroom to the third floor of the West Building through this secret passage...... It is also an important area for the creation of works.

"This ......"

Cass apparently didn't know anything about this secret passage.

Moreover, he rarely went to his father's private creative area.

It is also when the secret passage is revealed.

From the dark and deep secret passage, Han Dong saw the white mist constantly gushing out, and even caught a glimpse of some pale tentacles that were both virtual and real looming in the mist.

Even Cass and the others could see a little white mist diffuse through the passages with the naked eye.

Airplanes!

The Holy Relic of the Cross in Celeste's hand activates.

With the cross as the core, she conjured an armor of holy light, covering Celest's entire body, and she also put on the "goggles".

Due to the influence of the invisible fog.

The clockwork's communication circle is affected and it is unable to transmit information outward.

Celeste made a decision to act: "Next, Nicholas and I will dig deeper, and the two of you will report the anomalous information to the Knights...... The urgency of the matter is expected to be 'Level II', and it may be higher. ”

"What?!"

Although Cass also noticed the anomaly, he didn't expect the matter to be so serious.

"Go straight to the Holy Knights and report my name! It is best to have at least three full-fledged knights who are proficient in the Light come to assist. ”

“…… Good! I'll go right away. ”

Han Dong advised: "Put on the goggles and go again...... The fog has spread across the mansion area. ”

Han Dong, who was standing in front of the window, observed that the entire territory of the Maldini mansion, including the front garden area, was filled with mist.

As Cass and Sophia leave the mansion, they may be ambushed.

"I'll leave my father's affairs to you...... If you can suppress it, try not to hurt him. ”

Celeste said solemnly, "Viscount Alex is a writer of great significance to the Holy City, and I will do my best to ensure his safety. ”

"Thank you!"

Cass received the blessing of the Light, put on his goggles, and led Sophia out of the mansion.

Celeste stared at this secret passage, gritted her teeth slightly, and said, "I didn't expect that even the nobles of the third layer would be affected...... However, it may also be due to the inherent risks of being a 'writer'. ”

Han Dong asked, "Shall we continue to go deeper, or shall we wait until the people of the Knights come over?" ”

Celest continuously applies buffs to herself and Han Dong, pointing to the entrance of the secret passage.

"Go deeper...... You're not afraid of 'pollution' anyway, are you?

The target has just started, and if we can seize the opportunity to control [Viscount Alex], we may be able to solve this matter directly.

At that time, we will find out the root cause of the problem from him, and I will kill the mastermind behind the scenes.

Besides, the act of opening the secret passage may have 'scared the snake'.

If we stay here, we might make things worse...... Viscount Alex could also be in danger. ”
