The moment he entered the office, Cheese's spirit was in a state of high tension. Although he seemed to be indifferent to stepping into the trap of the other party, the mage was actually ready for any danger. A dozen incantations for various occasions had been silently recited in Cheese's mind more than ten times, and the moment the other party showed his fangs was the time for the mage to fight back.

But the expected attack did not come. When Cheese approached the office, he was greeted by traps, tricks, or even a nezumi in the room. This surprised the mage and made him more focused, and he must not let up at this time, once he let his guard down, a dagger on a rope could take the life of a gray robe.

"It doesn't seem as dangerous as it seems. Dr. Hill, who walked into the room behind Cheese, looked inside the room and said.

"I'm not sure there's a problem, you can watch from the door first. Don't be locked up here. The mage said, gesturing to the open door. He remembered the sight he had felt, and now there was no guarantee that no enemy was lurking in the shadows waiting for his moment.

The Dementor shrugged his shoulders and leaned against the doorframe to look at Cheese. She felt that she was becoming more and more unable to understand the gray robe's thoughts. Obviously, he was the one who walked in regardless of it at first, but now looking at Cheese's cautious appearance, it makes people wonder if the reckless decision just now was made by him.

"If you're so scared of the mechanism, wouldn't it be nice to listen to me go from the patio to the fourth floor in the first place?" said the doctor.

At this time, the mage was half-crouching, carefully observing the workbench in the office. However, it was an observation, but Cheese did not reach out to touch anything on the workbench. The fact that the mage hadn't touched the furniture or objects in the room since he entered the room except the floor made his movements seem a little funny, given that there weren't many opportunities to see a man in a robe lift the hem of his coat and stand on tiptoe to avoid the paper on the floor.

"Bold strategy and cautious tactics do not conflict. Besides, since we all think of entering the fourth floor from the patio, there's no reason why the opponent should be defenseless. At first glance, it seems much safer in a dangerous place than in a corner that cannot be seen. The mage said, turning his head to look at the bookshelf behind the workbench. It's not that he didn't think of using magic to explore the secret door, but Cheese was afraid that magic would touch some of the spells hidden in the room.

The lighting in the office was not bright, the corridor on the third floor was already dim, and there was no light source in this room, so Rao is cheese gathered magic in his eyes to strengthen his senses, and what he could see in the dark was very limited. This forced the mage to bring his face close to the bookshelf to observe the details above.

However, it was clear that the Dementors could not understand Cheese's caution. Seeing the mage's embarrassed appearance and the oil lamp on the workbench, Hill naturally walked over and flipped the switch at the bottom of the oil lamp, allowing the flint and steel in the oil lamp to light the wick. The fiery red light lit up the room at once.

"No......" By the time Cheese noticed the light, it was too late. The mage didn't expect the Dementors to be so impatient, and the result of this oversight was that he didn't stop Ciel from lighting the oil lamp.

The doctor was startled by the mage's low roar, and she nervously looked at the room, imagining what would be attracted by the light. However, the oil lamp did not seem to trigger anything other than the interior being illuminated.

"Look, there's nothing to be afraid of. Hill said with a little weakness. It's not that she didn't know that her recklessness could put both of them in danger. But in this oppressive atmosphere, she couldn't tell why she had made the decision to light the lamp just now. However, judging from the results, there were no terrible consequences for this unauthorized action.

"I don't think so. As he spoke, Cheese lifted his chin and gestured towards the door. When the doctor's eyes followed, she found that the door that had been open was closed at some point.

If this scene happens on the earth, then the person concerned can also treat it as the wind or some other coincidence, and then say "pretending to be a ghost" to comfort himself. Unfortunately, in a world where magic does exist, coincidences can sometimes become weapons. At this time, it is obviously unwise to try to open the door with a self-deceptive attitude, because since the other party has closed the door, it is natural to have the confidence not to let people open it again.

"I have good news and bad news here, and I don't know which one you want to hear first. Looking at his companion, who was temporarily overwhelmed, the mage pursed his lips and picked up the oil lamp on the table. Now that this has come to this, there is no need to be careful.

"Good news. Hill sighed, knowing that it was too late for him to regret it. Cheese is not in the habit of holding on to other people's mistakes, so he said while holding an oil lamp and looking at the books on the shelves.

"I didn't feel the magic when I closed the door just now. I'm not arrogant enough to think that all casters can't escape my eyes, but there's a good chance that the door wasn't closed with magic. ”

"And what about the bad news?"

Cheese turned his head and looked at the Dementor with a slightly surprised expression, as if surprised by his companion's stupidity.

"The bad news, of course, is that the guy who can silently close the door in front of the two of us will probably be able to cut our necks silently. ”

"You're saying the thing that closed the door has come in?" Hearing the mage's words, Ciel immediately half-crouched down and looked around vigilantly.

"Of course not, how could you think that? If that thing wants to do something to us, it could have snuck up on us in the hallway. Don't worry about having nowhere to retreat yet. I just said keep an eye out for that guy when we get out of here. Cheese rolled his eyes, now very suspicious that it was not a wise choice to act with Ciel. Mages don't hate assertive companions, provided they are self-aware. The same scene happened to Jack, and Wolfwalker would never care so much about Cheese's words.

The doctor could hear the mage's displeasure, and she knew that her actions were indeed causing trouble, but her pride did not allow her to admit it so happily. When Ciel finally decided to apologize to Cheese, the mage's attention was gone.

"I'm ...... hugging"

"Hah, I knew it was this! a simple blocking circle. The Dementor apologized halfway through as Cheese put down the oil lamp in his hand and pulled a book from the shelf. Oddly enough, the moment the book was pulled off the shelf, the oppressive feeling in the room diminished in an instant. It seems that the main culprit that prevented the two from exploring the house just now was this book.

"So, let me see where the secret door is. The shackles on perception were lifted, and Cheese carefully used his magic to transform into invisible tentacles to explore every crevice of the room, avoiding any traps that might exist. Soon, he made a discovery.

"What should I say at this time? I remember the story told by my senior sister when I was a child...... Well, that's right. Open Sesame!"
