Chapter 157: Chapter 157 Mist
Translator: 549690339
“Suturing? Aren’t you mainly studying plague studies?”
“Both are part of mysticism, before the Talent Tree was established, I tried studying in all areas to see what suits me best.”
Having said that, Han Dong purposely twirled a needle and thread around his forehead, feigning threading.
Naturally, Han Dong has also learned some basic knowledge of suturing, doing this only to disguise his ‘Little Demon Eye’ as a power from suturing skills.
The moment the ‘Little Demon Eye’ opened.
Han Dong attempted to restrain the ‘Contamination Release’ into his eye, there was still a faint scent of contamination seeping from around his eyes.
However, as the Martini Mansion was already filled with a strange aura, people like Cass did not notice it.
Only Silist, who was bringing up the rear, cast doubtful looks and murmured: “This kid… learned new tricks again.”
Han Dong also felt Silist’s gaze, feeling a bit helpless, he thought to himself.
“Phew… it seems the Little Demon Eye needs further ‘polishing’. Even with my full restraint, a small amount of contamination scent would still leak out. It’s only because of the complete trust between me and Cass that he won’t have any suspicions.
Now it seems that it’s impossible to fool Official Knights.
Before the start of the ‘Knight Training’, I must disguise it to look identical to the threaded eyes.”
With the initiation of the Little Demon Eye.
Han Dong finally saw some ‘unusual things’ in the mansion.
A thin mist appeared inside the mansion.
Covering the doors, ornaments, brass metal objects, and even the corner areas.
As for Han Dong, he didn’t feel any danger from the mist.
As the team stepped onto the third floor, the footsteps lingering in the master bedroom disappeared.
The door of the master bedroom was closed tightly, showing no signs of being opened.
“Didn’t leave the room? Just sleepwalking in the room… Something’s wrong.”
This is the Cass Family’s mansion, intruding into the master bedroom at night is very rude, it might even provoke Viscount Alexis… but tonight is a good opportunity to figure out the truth.
Cass had thought of an excuse, and approached the door of the master bedroom.
“Wait for me, I will knock on the door.”
Knock knock knock…
Despite the continuous knocking, there was no response from the inside of the bedroom.
Sensing that something wasn’t right, Cass directly slammed his palm on the lock, completely crushing the internal machinery parts.
The loud noise of the door being destroyed still did not disturb the parents in the master bedroom.
When Cass pushed the door to enter, Han Dong and the others immediately followed.
The oil lamp turned on, and the warm flame light immediately illuminated the entire master bedroom.
Only Cass’s mother was lying on the bed, Viscount Alexis was nowhere to be seen.
Silist immediately stepped forward to check on Cass’s mother, “Her breathing is normal, but her mind has been affected, she has fallen into a deep sleep… This state should last until morning.”
Hearing that his mother was safe, Cass heaved a sigh of relief.
Next, they needed to solve the mystery of the ‘secret room escape’.
The windows and bedroom door were all locked from the inside.
The fireplace was too small to fit a person… how did Viscount Alexis leave the room?
“The mist has thickened… the concentration of mist in the master bedroom is about three times that of the outside, but this mist poses no danger for now, and I don’t know what it’s for.”
Moreover, relying on the special vision of the ‘Little Demon Eye’, Han Dong could also see the footprints left on the wooden floor.
The same as the footsteps he had heard earlier.
Viscount Alexis had ‘circled’ around in the room.
A circle of neat and overlapping footprints left on the floor, perfectly circular, devoid of any step deviation.
Just as Cass and the others were searching the master bedroom, trying to find secret compartments.
Han Dong recalled the sounds of the footsteps he had heard.
Following the same frequency, comparing the footprints, he began to circle.
Precisely ten circles!
The wall opposite the bedroom bed began to rotate slowly.
Smooth mechanical movements, without any friction noise throughout the process.
A secret passage connecting the east and west buildings was revealed.
Viscount Alexis could go directly from the master bedroom to the third floor of the west building through this secret passage… which is precisely the crucial area for his creative work.
“This…”
Cass was obviously unaware of this secret passage.
What’s more, he hardly ever visited his father’s private creation area.
Just as the secret passage was revealed.
Han Dong saw white mist constantly gushing out of the dark secret passage, even some illusory and pale tentacles could be seen faintly in the mist.
Even Cass and the others could see a little white mist filling the passage with their naked eye.
Buzz!
The holy cross artifact in Silist’s hand was activated.
Centering on the cross, it transformed into a suit of Holy Light Armor covering Silist’s entire body, and she also put on ‘Goggles’.
Due to the invisible mist.
The communication matrix of the clockwork device was affected, unable to transmit information outside.
Silist made a decision: “Next, Nicholas and I will continue exploring, while you two report the abnormal situation to the Knight Regiment… The urgency of the situation is estimated to be ‘Level Ⅱ’, or even higher.”
“What?!”
Although Cass also noticed the abnormality, he didn’t expect the situation to be so serious.
“Go directly to the Holy Knights Group, mention my name! It’s best to get three or more Knights proficient in Holy Light to come and assist.”
“… Okay! I’ll go immediately.”
Han Dong reminded, “Wear ‘goggles’ before you go… the mist has already spread in the mansion area.”
Standing by the window, Han Dong observed that the entire Martini Mansion, including the front garden area, was covered in mist.
Dangerous attacks might ambush Cass and Sophia during their departure from the mansion.
“I’m leaving my father to you… if you can restrain him, try not to hurt him.”
Silist said solemnly: “Viscount Alexis is a writer of great significance to the Holy City, I will do my best to ensure his safety.”
“Thank you!”
Cass took on the Holy Light enhancement, put on the goggles and, with Sophia, left the mansion.
Eyeing the secret passage, Silist gritted her teeth and said: “I didn’t expect that even the nobles on the third floor would be affected… but it might also be the inherent risk of being a ‘writer’.”
Han Dong asked: “Should we continue to go deeper, or wait for the Knights to come?”
Silist applied Buff Enhancements to herself and Han Dong one after another, pointing to the entrance of the secret passage.
“We continue deeper… after all, you’re not afraid of ‘contamination’, right?
The target just started moving, if we can seize this opportunity to control ‘Viscount Alexis’, we might able to solve this problem directly.
At that time, we can find the root of the problem from him, and I will kill the mastermind behind it.
Moreover, opening the secret passage might have ‘startled the snake’.
If we stay here, it might worsen the situation… Viscount Alexis could be in danger.”
