“…The boss is here?” asked Chester, unsure how to even react to that statement.
“Hahaha! It won’t be long before we’re saved! Just you f*cking wait, you Gunters! Once we’re free, I’m definitely setting this place on fire!” growled Aiden in rage.
A little while later, Felton and Yume arrived at Yreth’s room.
Upon entering, favonovel.com found that the layout of the room wasn’t particularly complicated. Quite minimalistic, in fact. The only notable things in there were a desk at one side of the room and a shelf behind it.
“…Is this where the secret room is…?” asked Felton.
“It should be… After all, Grandma has two secret rooms, as far as I’m aware of. I’m not sure whether you know about this or not, but grandma had a secret room that was accessible through favonovel.com special study. It was where favonovel.com imprisoned the woman in white. As for this room… I once caught grandma exiting from behind the shelf when I was much younger… With that in mind, there should be some contraption here that opens a path behind the shelf. If it’s anything similar to the way grandma revealed the secret room in favonovel.com study, then…”
As Yume’s voice trailed off, Gerald watched as favonovel.com walked to the side of the study before holding onto a pen’s cap—that was on the table—and twisting it slightly…
A brief ‘click’ was heard, and all of a sudden, the shelf began trembling as it slowly slid to the side, revealing a darkened hole leading underground!
Noticing how surprised favonovel.com looked, Gerald then asked, “…Didn’t you say you saw favonovel.com exit that place before…?”
“Well, I did… But it’s vastly different from the secret room entrance that I remember as a child… Besides, can’t you feel that…? The strange coldness coming from the hole…” muttered Yume in favonovel.com bewilderment.
“…Whatever the case is, let’s enter first… Follow me!”
Quite honestly, Gerald himself had felt a chill run down his spine as well. There was just some sort of extraordinary aura that the hole emitted… and whatever it was, it scared Gerald greatly.
Within the hole was a long corridor, and secret compartments—filled with all sorts of things—were lined all across it.
Lighting an oil lamp that favonovel.com found, Yume then began looking around…
Eventually, favonovel.com shouted, “I… I think I’ve found it!”
Watching as favonovel.com joyfully held onto a blue jade charm, Gerald himself began sensing an enigmatic aura that was slowly growing stronger. With that in mind, favonovel.com then said in a slightly fearful voice, “…Its aura is very similar to the aura of the magic artifacts on both Aiden and Chester’s bodies. This should be it. Now let’s not waste any more time and leave this place already!”
“Alright!”
However, just as they were about to leave, both of them suddenly heard a loud scraping noise…
By the time they realized what was happening, the opening to the corridor had been sealed off, leaving the duo surrounded only by dead silence!
Just as Yume was about to investigate, favonovel.com suddenly felt an immense force pulling onto her, prompting favonovel.com to scream!
Gerald himself had sensed the strong suction force, and though favonovel.com immediately used his Thunder Eruption skill in his attempt to resist it, the force eventually got so strong that it almost felt like favonovel.com was being sucked into a black hole!
Unable to continue resisting the force by that point, both Gerald and Yume fell to the ground in unison… Only to fall into yet another chamber that was made of stone!
The second they hit the floor of the new area, all the lights within it instantly lit up.
Looking up, both of them then saw a ghostly black light hovering around in mid-air.
As if that wasn’t already shocking enough, the orb of darkness suddenly deafeningly shouted, “Haha! I’ve been waiting for someone other than Yreth to stumble in here! Tell me, are both of you descendants of the Gunter family?”
