My Cell Prison

Chapter 73: Nightfall

"Sense of Light."

Celeste, as the Holy Church Army, had both holy and knightly abilities.

A holy light with warmth spread from its feet, and it spread directly to every corner of the Baker's mansion, and the feedback received was still 'no one'.

"No one?"

The Cass squad that followed closely was also surprised.

I thought it would be a battle, but who knew, the situation was a bit unusual.

Han Dong stared at the empty mansion, even the interior furniture and decorations were mostly emptied, and the spell mark had been touched off for the most part, losing its proper polluting effect.

Celeste immediately issued an order.

"Hundreds of people can't just vanish into thin air, you two in one team, split up and search the building, notify me immediately of any findings, none of you are allowed to act without permission."

"Okay!"

The splitting of teams was the same as before.

Cass and Sophia were one team, working with Celeste to conduct a detailed search of the first and second floors of the mansion.

While Han Dong and Coslin were a team, in charge of the search of the back-garden area.

The back garden had been left unattended for years, and the weeds were already taller than their knees.

Apart from a puddle of stinking water, an open space with a huge spell mark and a pavilion crawling with stone blood plants, there was nothing noteworthy about the back garden.

The giant spell mark was also destroyed and did not function as a contaminant.

There were tree-like traces left in the clearing where the spell marks were located, and it seemed that there used to be a large tree growing here, which disappeared for some unknown reason.

Han Dong came directly to the stinky water pool.

"Senior Coslin, can you find the water pool's drain?"

"I can."

Coslin, who had worked together once before, had a completely different attitude towards Han Dong.

As Han Dong pointed this out, Coslin immediately picked up on it, detecting and opening the metal drain at the lower end of the puddle through a sort of retractable iron rod device.

"I'll go down and take a look, Senior Coslin you go to the pavilion and look for clues."

"Hm."

Han Dong lent his strength with his ghoul arm and carefully jumped down into the four-meter-deep water puddle.

The bottom of the water pool was covered with moss, as well as a portion of decayed plants.

When Han Dong used his hand to dig through the moss, he found another giant spell mark identical to the one on the reward order, Unlike the previous spell marks, he had found, this one was very complete.

"Good luck! Looks like I found the right one."

When the spell mark sensed the approach of the living, it immediately escaped a scarlet luster while growing small, dense eyes to lock eyes with Han Dong.

"Hey"

Han Dong could only reach out with a wide smile on his face and absorb all these little eyes.

The reason why he chose the back garden and located this foul-smelling puddle was because of what was written on the last page of the diary.

The security officer who died suddenly was the one who saw the eyeball illusion in the water during the search next to the puddle, which led to the subsequent pollution and sudden death.

Han Dong, who absorbed the eyeball and destroyed the spell, acted as if nothing had happened, and cleaned up the imprint to avoid arousing Celeste's suspicion.

Han Dong, about three paces to your right, there is a subtle overflow of evil energy.

Suddenly, a voice echoed in Han Dong's mind. He didn't expect that Miss Chen Li was also keeping an eye on the external situation.

"Hm!?"

Fully stimulate the power of the ghoul's arm and follow Chen Li's instructions to forcefully break the tiles on the floor.

Sure enough, a hidden switch that could be manipulated by hand was discovered.

"Senior Coslin, please inform everyone to come here, I've found something here!"

Soon, the party that had searched the mansion to no avail all came to the back garden. Staring at the secret switch that Han Dong had discovered, Celeste only said indifferently.

"Good job, you come up first."

As Han Dong climbed up the water pool.

Celeste immediately changed the form of her left light shield, causing it to transform into a whip of light that wrapped precisely around the switch at the bottom.

Pulling with force.

Buzz!

A secret door hidden in the bottom of the pool opened upwards, corresponding to an incomparably dark underground passage.

"Is the hidden ritual taking place underground? The whole thing really has been planned for a long time."

"Shall we go down, sister?"

"No, the dangerous locations down there may even have traps with medium and high levels of contamination inside the passageways, so you'll only be dragging your feet if you follow me.

Besides, there are still problems with the mansion.

At least when I searched the mansion earlier, I had a sneaking feeling that there were still some evil things hidden inside the mansion.

I'll go down and explore the ritual area on my own.

You guys, on the other hand, will stay up there and clean up the Baker mansion. If I need help, I'll naturally contact you."

"You have to be careful, sister." Fia was very worried.

"Don't worry, what's outside the walls won't kill me, and there are naturally no evil things within this holy city that can threaten my life yet."

After saying that, Celeste looked at Han Dong who was wearing the beak doctor costume.

"Being able to quickly discover the hidden switch of this secret passage. Are you a student majoring in [Divination]?"

"No. Majoring in [Plague Science], I found the switch through fungal sensing."

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

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

Conversation over.

Celeste goes deep underground alone.

While the Han Dong team returns to the mansion, and begins to search and purge the mansion of any remaining evil objects.

It is currently dusk.

In order to ensure safety, Coslin will hang portable kerosene lamps in various locations of the mansion, to ensure that there is sufficient light in the mansion during the mission.

The four people search the mansion.

Half an hour passed, but there was no discovery.

Han Dong didn't have half a clue either.

There were no clues or information at all, the books in the study were all emptied, and the only diary he found was torn out of its crucial pages.

Night fell.

The kerosene lamps set up in advance illuminated the mansion entirely.

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

Cass' current concern was that Celeste was so strong that one person would empty the underground area of all the pollutants and cultists, and his own group would have done nothing at all.

When the time came, they would be directly rated as failing and wouldn't get any rewards.

However, Celeste had also stressed that the crowd would not be allowed to go down there without her instructions.

"I'll go to the other rooms and search again, maybe there are some missing secret compartments that we haven't found yet."

Just as Cass headed out the door of the study.

Han Dong seemed to have received some kind of signal and was busy screaming.

"Cass! Watch out!"

Cass had currently pushed the wooden door completely open.

Only a woman hidden in a white cloth with root-like tentacles on the surface of her body happened to float by the doorway.

Hehehe~

A kind of palpable laughter echoed through the mansion.

"Ghost!"
