"Suturing? Aren't you majoring in the study of plague? "
"It's all in the field of mysticism. Before the talent tree is established, I'll try to learn all kinds of things and see what suits me the most."
After saying that, Han Dong deliberately took a needle and thread between his eyebrows and pretended to thread it.
Of course, Han Dong had also learned a little about the basics of sewing. He did this just to disguise his magic eye as a sewing ability.
The moment the [Little Magic Eye] opened.
Han Dong tried his best to suppress the release of corruption back into the eye, but there was still a slight aura of corruption around the eye socket.
However, as Maldini's mansion was already filled with a strange aura, Cass and the others did not notice it.
Only Celeste, who was walking at the back, cast a puzzled gaze and muttered softly, "This kid … learned a new trick again."
Han Dong also sensed Celeste's gaze and felt a wave of helplessness.
Phew … It seems that Little Magic Eye still needs to be further 'polished'. Even if I suppress it with all my might, there will still be a small amount of corruption leaking out. Cass didn't have any suspicions because of the absolute trust between me and him.
Now, it seems that it's impossible to fool an official knight.
Before the [Knight Training] begins, I must disguise it to be no different from a sutured eye.
As Little Magic Eye was activated.
Han Dong finally saw something unusual in the mansion.
A thin layer of fog appeared in the mansion.
It covered the door, the lighting, the copper metal parts, and the corner area.
As far as Han Dong was concerned, he could not feel the danger of the fog.
…
As the team stepped onto the third floor, the footsteps in the master bedroom disappeared.
The master bedroom door was tightly shut, and there were no signs of it being opened.
"He didn't leave the room? Is he just sleepwalking in the room … Something's not right. "
This was Cass's house, and it was very impolite to barge into the master bedroom at night. It might even anger Viscount Ares … However, tonight was also a great opportunity to find out the truth.
Cass had already thought of an excuse and came to the door of the master bedroom.
"Wait for me, I'll knock on the door."
Knock, knock, knock …
He knocked continuously, but there was no response from the master bedroom.
Realizing that something was amiss, Cas struck the lock with his palm, completely shattering the mechanical components inside.
The loud sound of the door being destroyed still did not disturb his parents in the master bedroom.
When Cass pushed the door open and entered, Han Dong and the others immediately followed.
The kerosene lamp was switched on, and the warm flame immediately lit up the master bedroom.
Only Cass's mother was lying on the bed, but Viscount Alex was nowhere to be seen.
Celeste immediately went forward and examined 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."
Cass breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that his mother was safe and sound.
Next, he needed to solve the mystery of the escape room.
The windows and bedroom doors were locked from the inside.
The opening of the fireplace can't pass through a person's body … How did Viscount Ares leave the room?
"The fog has thickened … The fog in the master bedroom is about three times thicker than outside, but the fog is temporarily harmless, and I have no idea what it is for."
Other than that, with [Little Magic Eye]'s special vision, Han Dong could also see the footprints left behind on the wooden floor.
It was the same as the footsteps he had heard before.
Viscount Ares had 'walked' around the room.
A circle of regular and overlapping footprints was left on the floor. It was a perfect circle without any deviation.
Just as Cass and the others were searching the master bedroom in an attempt to find the secret compartment …
Han Dong recalled the footsteps he had heard before.
Following the same frequency, he compared the footprints and began to walk in circles.
Exactly ten circles!
The wall facing the large bed in the master bedroom began to slowly turn.
The smooth mechanical movement did not produce any sound of friction throughout the entire process.
A secret passageway connecting the east and west buildings was revealed.
Viscount Ares could use this secret passageway to go directly from the master bedroom to the third floor of the west building … It was also an important area for the creation of works.
"This …"
Cass obviously did not know anything about this secret passageway.
Moreover, he rarely went to his father's private creation area.
Just as the secret passageway was revealed …
Han Dong saw white fog constantly gushing out from the dark and deep secret passageway. He even caught a glimpse of some pale-white tentacles that were both real and illusory within the fog.
Cass and the others could even see a small amount of white fog permeating the passageway with their naked eyes.
* Buzz! *
The holy cross in Celeste's hand was activated.
With the cross as the core, a holy light armor appeared and covered Celeste's entire body. At the same time, she also put on the 'goggles'.
Due to the influence of the invisible fog.
The clockwork communication array was affected and could not transmit any information.
Celeste made a decision: "Next, Nicholas and I will explore deeper. The two of you will report any abnormal information to the knights … The emergency level of this matter is estimated to be 'Level II', and it may be higher."
"What?!"
Although Cass also noticed the abnormality, he did not expect the situation to be so serious.
"Go directly to the Holy Knights and report my name! It's best to have at least three official knights proficient in holy light come to assist. "
"… Okay! I'll go right away. "
Han Dong reminded: "Put on the 'goggles' before going … The fog has already spread throughout the mansion."
Han Dong, who was standing in front of the window, observed that the entire Maldini Mansion's territory, including the front garden area, was filled with fog.
When Cass and Sophia left the mansion, they might be ambushed.
"I'll leave my father's matter to you … If you can suppress it, try not to hurt him," Celeste said solemnly.
Celeste said solemnly, "Viscount Alex is an author of great importance to the Holy City. I will do my best to ensure his safety."
"Thank you!"
Cass accepted the holy light blessing, put on the goggles, and held Sophia's hand as they left the mansion together.
Celeste stared at the secret passage and said while gritting her teeth: "I didn't expect that even the nobles on the third level would be affected … However, it could also be caused by the risks of being an author."
Han Dong asked: "Do we continue to go deeper or wait for the knights to come?"
Celeste continuously buffed herself and Han Dong with buffs and pointed to the entrance of the secret passage.
"Continue to go deeper … Anyway, you're not afraid of 'contamination', right?
The target has just started to move. If we can seize the opportunity to control [Viscount Ares], we might be able to solve this matter directly.
At that time, we can find the root of the problem from him, and I will kill the mastermind behind it.
Besides, opening the secret passage might have already 'alerted the enemy'.
If we stay here, it might worsen the situation … Viscount Ares might also be in danger. "
