“Look at the footprints around here. Due to the ghostly wall, no one else has broken into this place, except for those who know about this formation.”

“The whole place is covered in dust.”

“But there are shallow footprints in this place. Someone must have walked past it and and left marks from their soles.”

Quinn had never seen such a scene before. He dryly asked, “Then…are we still going down? It’s not very good to barge into someone else’s place without permission, right?” Quinn asked.

Looking at Lauren’s serious expression as well as her agile reaction, Quinn started to get serious.

“We’ve already broken through their illusions, so why would we care so much? Just be careful! How do we get down?”

Lauren squatted down and knocked on the stone slab. There was no response.

“Wait a minute, I saw Obmar groping around yesterday.” Quinn imitated Obmar and groped around the wall. After groping around several times, Quinn finally found a slightly sunken area.

“Then, he should have knocked like this…”

Quinn first knocked twice, then three times, and finally two times.

As expected, the stone slab on the ground made a slight sound, like the sound of a switch being activated.

The stone slab slowly shrank into the floor.

Lauren’s eyes lit up.

‘Someone actually spent so much effort to create a basement floor. Something fishy must be going on…’

“There’s a staircase here. Wait a moment, I’ll turn on the flashlight.”

Quinn turned on the flashlight and shone it down into the darkness. Although he had already gone down once yesterday, he was still a little afraid when he saw this pitch-black place again.

It was like a big mouth that could suck people in at any time.

Lauren had seen all kinds of scenes before, and this was nothing to her.

Just as she was about to walk down the stairs with her short legs, Quinn grabbed her arm.

“I’ll go down first. I’ll shine the flashlight back at you later so that you won’t be scared while you’re alone,” Quinn said fiercely.

Following that, Quinn held the flashlight in one hand and held the handrail of the stairs with the other as he slowly walked down the stairs.

Lauren felt a trace of warmth in her heart.
