[Holy Light Perception]
As a templar, Celeste had both Holy and Knight abilities.
She stepped out, and a warm Holy Light spread from her feet. The halo of light spread to every corner of the Baker Family's mansion … The feedback she received was still 'empty'.
"No one?"
Kars' team, who followed closely behind, was also surprised.
They thought it would be a big battle, but … the situation was a little strange.
Han Dong stared at the empty mansion. Most of the furniture and decorations inside had been removed, and most of the curse seal had been removed. It had lost its pollution effect.
Celeste immediately gave an order:
"It's impossible for hundreds of people to disappear into thin air. You two will split up and search this building … If you find anything, inform me immediately. No one is allowed to act on their own."
"Okay!"
The split up method was the same as before.
Kars and Sophia were in a team of two, and they cooperated with Celeste to search the first and second floors of the mansion in detail.
Han Dong and Koslin were in a team, and they were in charge of searching the back garden area.
As no one took care of the back garden for many years, the height of the weeds had already exceeded their knees.
Other than a puddle of foul-smelling water, an empty space with a huge curse seal, and a pavilion covered in Stone Blood Plants, there was nothing else worth paying attention to in the back garden.
The huge curse seal had also been destroyed and did not have any pollution effect.
There were tree-shaped marks on the empty space where the curse seal was. There seemed to be a large tree growing here in the past, but it had disappeared for some reason.
Han Dong went directly to the puddle of foul-smelling water.
"Senior Koslin, can you find the drain of the pond?"
"Yes."
Koslin, who had worked together before, had a completely different attitude towards Han Dong.
When Han Dong pointed this out, Koslin immediately connected. Using a retractable iron rod device, he detected the metal drain at the bottom of the pond and opened it.
"I'll go down and take a look … Senior Koslin, you go to the pavilion and look for clues."
"Okay."
Han Dong used the ghoul's arm as leverage and carefully jumped into the four-meter-deep pond.
The bottom of the pond was covered in moss, as well as some black plants.
When Han Dong used his hands to peel away the moss, he found another giant rune that was the same as the one on the bounty poster … Unlike the rune he found before, this rune was very complete.
"My luck is pretty good! Looks like I've found the right person. "
When the curse seal sensed the approach of a living person, it immediately emitted a crimson luster. At the same time, numerous small eyes grew out and looked at Han Dong.
"Sigh …"
Han Dong could only stretch out his hand with an awkward smile and absorb all of these small eyes.
The reason he chose the back garden and pinpointed the location of the pool was because of the last page of the diary.
The sudden death of the security officer was caused by an illusion of an eyeball in the water when he was searching beside the pool, which led to the subsequent contamination and sudden death.
Han Dong, who had absorbed the eyeball and destroyed the curse mark, pretended that nothing had happened. He also cleaned up the mark to avoid arousing Celeste's suspicion.
"Han Dong, there's a faint evil aura about three steps to your right."
Suddenly, a voice reverberated in Han Dong's mind … Unexpectedly, Miss Chen Li was also paying attention to the external situation at all times.
"Hmm!?"
He fully activated the power of his ghoul arm and forcefully pried open the tiles on the ground according to Chen Li's instructions.
As expected, he found a hidden switch that could be controlled by hand.
"Senior Koslin, please inform everyone to come over. I have found something here!"
Not long after, the group of people who had searched the mansion to no avail all came to the back garden … Staring at the secret switch Han Dong discovered, Celeste only said calmly, "You did a good job.
"Not bad. Come up first."
Han Dong climbed up the pool.
Celeste immediately changed the form of the light shield in her left hand, turning it into a whip of light that accurately wrapped around the switch at the bottom.
She pulled with force.
Buzz!
A secret door hidden at the bottom of the pool opened up, corresponding to an incomparably dark underground passage.
"A secret sacrificial ritual is being carried out underground? This whole incident has been planned for a long time. "
"Sister, are we going down?"
"No … The dangerous location below might even be a trap with a medium or high degree of contamination set up in the passage. If you follow me, you will only be a burden.
Also, there is a problem with the mansion.
At least when I started searching the mansion just now, I vaguely felt that there should still be some evil beings hidden in the mansion.
I will go down alone to explore and find the sacrificial area.
You guys stay up there and clean up the Berker Mansion … If I need help, I will naturally contact you. "
"Sister, you have to be careful." Sofia was very worried.
"Don't worry, the things outside the city walls won't take my life. Naturally, there are no evil beings that can threaten my life in the Holy City."
After saying that, Celeste looked at Han Dong who was wearing a bird-beaked doctor's outfit.
"To be able to quickly discover the hidden switch of this secret passage … Are you a student majoring in [Divination]?"
"No … My major is [Plague Studies]. I found the switch through the fungus."
"Not bad … You guys must take good care of Sofia! If I find that she is injured and you guys are fine, don't blame me for peeling off your skin! "
"Definitely!" Cass immediately replied. "Lord Knight, be careful!"
The conversation ended.
Celeste went deep underground alone.
Han Dong's team returned to the mansion and began to search and eliminate the remaining evil beings in the mansion.
It was already dusk.
To ensure safety, Coslin hung portable kerosene lamps in various places in the mansion to ensure that there was sufficient light in the mansion during the mission.
The four of them began a carpet search of the mansion.
Half an hour passed, but they did not find anything.
Han Dong did not have any clues either.
There were no clues or information at all. The books in the study were all cleared, and the only diary they found had its key pages torn out.
Night fell.
The kerosene lamps set up in advance illuminated the entire mansion.
The four of them gathered in the study, slightly 'anxious'.
What Cass was worried about was that Celeste was too powerful. She could clear out all the pollution sources and evil cultists in the underground area alone … And they did not do anything at all.
At that time, they would be assessed as failing and would not receive any rewards.
However, Celeste had emphasized that no one was allowed to go down without her instructions.
"… I'll go to the other rooms and search again. There might be some hidden compartments that we missed."
Just as Cass walked out of the study.
Han Dong seemed to have received some signal and quickly exclaimed.
"Cass! Be careful! "
Cass had already pushed open the wooden door completely.
A woman with root-like tentacles on her body and hidden in a white cloth floated past the door.
Hehe ~
A heart-palpitating laughter echoed in the mansion.
"You … Ghost!"
