A door was faintly discernible in the void.
It was flickering just like the chains from before.
Amidst the flickering, Kieran got a clear look at the door.
It was black in color and had the texture of a stone. The surface was rough as well. Other than being rectangular in shape and looking like a door, there was nothing else that could be connected to a door.
There was no door frame, no handle, and no decorations at all.
However, it had guards.
A heavy sense of danger kept appearing in front of the flickering door.
Even though there was nothing in Kieran's sight.
"Invisible beings?!"
Kieran quickly speculated.
Kieran had seen a lot of invisible beings. Even when his [Undercover] reached Transcendence, coupled with [Dark Movement Technique], he could achieve a similar effect of invisibility.
Therefore, Kieran had a deep understanding of invisible beings.
Although they couldn't be seen, it didn't mean they didn't exist.
There were still some subtle differences.
It wasn't just the presence.
There was also the position.
The former could be hidden to a certain extent through training, but the position wouldn't change.
Because there were only a few good hiding spots in every place.
It wouldn't choose this one.
It would only choose the other one.
After countless battles, Kieran had branded the ability to locate the hidden spot in his instinct. Plus his powerful Intuition and Spirit, he could instantly pinpoint the location of the invisible being based on the position of the door.
Kieran quickly locked on to the empty spot in his sight.
Slowly, Kieran moved away from the spot.
He wasn't retreating.
He was experimenting.
Soon, the results of the experiment were out.
When he moved away from the flickering chain, the sense of danger vanished. The invisible being even started to move slowly, surrounding the door.
Kieran squinted his eyes.
"It has a defensive mechanism.
It's powerful but inflexible.
It won't take the initiative to attack, only defending passively. "
No doubt, it was all good news.
But it wasn't the most important point!
At that moment, what concerned Kieran the most was: would the defensive mechanism be triggered once and then retaliate madly? Or would it only activate once before returning to its original state, waiting for him to activate the defense mechanism the next time?
If it was the former, then he had to be even more cautious in his actions.
That sense of danger was enough to tell him that this defense mechanism was deadly to him.
If it was the latter …
Everything was naturally simple.
Unfortunately, he couldn't test it.
Simply put, there was only one chance!
Hu!
Kieran took a deep breath as he sensed the coin's energy draining away. He scanned the void and imprinted everything in his mind.
The next moment, he returned to the underground secret chamber.
Kieran stood on top of the rotten gold coin and thought for a while.
When he opened his eyes, he called out to Du.
"Du, I need you to build me another secret chamber."
"It's about 500 meters long, 300 meters wide, and 200 meters tall."
"I need a door. You need to fix it in the middle, 150 meters high. I also need some chains. You need to fix them here, here …"
Kieran bent down and started to draw a diagram on the ground with his finger.
"My Lord, the secret chamber you need will appear before your eyes at daybreak."
"But I can't do the door and chains."
Du said in a troubled tone.
"You don't have to worry about the door and chains.
When the secret chamber is built, they will appear. "
Kieran replied.
"Leave it to me!"
Du said, glancing at the diagram on the ground again and starting to prepare.
The scales on Du's body trembled as it crouched on the ground. Like a giant pangolin, it began to dig downwards. However, compared to a normal pangolin, Du's digging speed was many times faster.
The soil that was dug out didn't pile up, instead entering Du's stomach.
He could spit it out when he needed it.
Or he could turn it into a harder stone.
It was Du's talent.
Most of the time, it was useless.
But sometimes, it was very effective.
Just look at the equipment and items piled up.
Bloody Mary, who had a telepathic connection with Kieran, walked over before Kieran even said anything.
"Boss, do you need the chains and the door?"
"What kind?"
Bloody Mary asked.
After Kieran described the chains and the door, Bloody Mary nodded.
"Leave it to me, boss."
After that, Bloody Mary vanished into thin air.
After Bloody Mary vanished, Kieran turned around and looked at the rotten gold coins. Although he knew it was the right choice, he still couldn't help but sigh.
It was a pity.
There was even a slight pain in his heart.
It was his instinct.
Kieran went through his spoils of war one more time before heading back to the surface.
Starbeck had finished cleaning up the dining hall.
The minotaur and horseman also joined the cleaning process, so the cleaning speed was more than doubled.
Then, Starbeck started to teach Li Jiajia how to prepare the dishes.
"It's getting cold, so mutton is a must.
Carrot, long yam and other side dishes need to be bought as well.
If you want to make soup, I suggest you find a charcoal stove. "
Starbeck said as he opened the fridge.
His expression was meticulous.
Kieran quietly walked to the kitchen entrance, leaned on the door frame, and looked at Starbeck quietly.
He liked people who were serious and never half-hearted.
Other than the fact that he was such a person.
It was also because it would increase the success rate of this mission.
No one hated success.
Even though people said failure was the mother of success, it was the same.
After all the dishes were prepared, Starbeck noticed his apprentice kept looking behind him.
Starbeck turned around and saw Kieran.
"I think you will need this."
Kieran took out [Water Purity Stone (Big)] and passed it to Starbeck.
Starbeck was overjoyed when he saw the [Water Purity Stone (Big)].
Although he already had a [Water Purity Stone], this one was much better and more outstanding.
For a chef like Starbeck, getting a high quality ingredient in a short time was like adding wings to a tiger.
Especially when this [Water Purity Stone] came from Kieran, Starbeck was even happier.
He walked over and took the [Water Purity Stone], looking at Kieran with a smile.
"What do you want to eat tomorrow?"
Starbeck asked.
"Anything you cook is fine."
Kieran replied.
Kieran had absolute trust in Starbeck's cooking.
Likewise, Starbeck would never let Kieran down.
"Em."
Starbeck nodded seriously and started to think about what kind of food he should make.
As he thought, Starbeck put the [Water Purity Stone] into the water tank beside the kitchen.
"Don't think about it.
We have a lot of time, we don't have to care about this moment.
Besides, it's time to rest. "
Kieran couldn't help but remind Starbeck when he saw his reaction.
"Em."
Starbeck nodded again, the blankness in his eyes clearly telling Kieran that he was still deep in thought.
Only by thinking would he be able to change.
Otherwise, he would only stop moving forward.
Kieran didn't mind at all since he had the same habit, holding Starbeck's hand and waving at Li Jiajia before heading upstairs.
She saw Kieran and Starbeck go up the stairs.
Li Jiajia quietly picked up the long yam and started to peel it.
"I'm not jealous!
I'm not jealous either!
When I have my teacher's cooking skills, I will have such a powerful follower too!
Maybe even stronger! "
Li Jiajia said, her determination to become a chef grew stronger.
As for the voice in her head, she chose to ignore it.
What blood, what death?
What fire, what destruction?
It was all fake!
Sir Royan might be cold but he was kind to her teacher, nothing like what the voice said, a terrifying calamity.
"He is really a calamity!"
"Shut up!
You will never know his true face! "
"Shut up!"
"You will never know either!"
"Shut up!"
"Because once you know, it will be the moment of your death!"
"Shut up!"
"I don't want you to die because we are on the same side, once you die, I will die too!"
"Shut up!"
Although Li Jiajia didn't want to listen to the voice anymore, she couldn't stop it from echoing in her head, even though every time the voice spoke, she would tell it to shut up.
The voice had no intention of giving up.
"His body has the most evil desires and the most terrifying devil!"
"Stay away from him!"
"Stay away from him!"
"You bastard, shut up!"
When the long yam in her hand was peeled off, Li Jiajia couldn't hold back her anger anymore.
She shouted in a low voice.
And this kind of shout was very useful.
The voice vanished.
Li Jiajia heaved a breath of relief and started to peel the long yam.
In the shadows that Li Jiajia didn't see, Kieran's figure flashed by. The Elite Hounds and Hounds in the dining hall wagged their tails at Kieran and when Kieran waved his hand, they climbed down again.
Everything was the same as before.
There was no difference.
When Kieran returned to his room, Starbeck, who had changed into his pajamas, was already lying on the bed.
"Is she alright?"
Starbeck asked.
"She's fine.
It's just that her spirit isn't strong enough, so she's affected by some voices.
I talked to that voice in a friendly manner.
It knows what to do. "
Kieran replied.
"That's good."
Sometimes Jiajia talks to herself, I'm worried. "
As his own student, Starbeck cared a lot about Jiajia.
As for how did Kieran talk to her?
Starbeck wouldn't ask.
After all, the matter was solved, wasn't it?
"Go to sleep."
Kieran leaned back on the sofa.
"Mm, goodnight."
Starbeck pulled up the blanket.
"Goodnight."
Kieran replied.
A moment later, all that was left in the room was the sound of long breaths.
Starbeck quietly looked at Kieran, who was leaning back on the sofa. His heart was filled with a sense of security, and he couldn't help but fall into a deep sleep.
When Starbeck really fell asleep, Kieran finally opened his eyes.
He turned to Starbeck and curled his lips into a grin.
The room fell into silence.
However, the kitchen wasn't calm.
Or more precisely, Li Jiajia was asking the voice in confusion.
She hoped that the voice would stop bothering her.
But crying all the time only made her more frustrated.
Of course, there were also doubts.
"What's wrong with you?"
Li Jiajia asked.
"N-Nothing.
I'm very strong, I'm fearless … Wow, this is scary!
"Abyssal Gaze!"
Hell's Roar!
I want to leave this place!
Why is there such a terrifying existence?! "
The voice stuttered, pretending to be calm.
But after two sentences, it cried out loud.
Amidst the crying, there were also some incomprehensible words.
Li Jiajia was at a loss of what to do.
Suddenly, the ceiling made a noise.
Dong!
It was very light, but the crying stopped abruptly and turned into a low sobbing sound.
Dong!
The ceiling made another noise and the sobs stopped.
"What happened?"
Li Jiajia asked in confusion.
There was no answer.
After asking twice, Li Jiajia kept quiet.
She wished that no one would disturb her work anymore.
In the deepest part of her soul, a figure was squatting down, covering its mouth, its shoulders twitching.
No doubt, it was sobbing.
But it didn't make any noise.
It dared not make any noise.
It was afraid of being eaten.
…
The night passed and the sun rose as usual.
The whole of Leaf Dining was dead silent.
Everyone and monsters were resting, the bustling street was blocked by the windows, doors, and thick curtains. It wasn't until noon that Starbeck's eyelashes fluttered and he slowly opened his eyes.
The moment he opened his eyes, he saw Kieran.
"Morning!"
Starbeck greeted him out of habit and went to wash up.
After squeezing some toothpaste on his teeth, Starbeck couldn't hold back his laughter.
Kieran really came back!
It wasn't a dream like before!
Great!
"What are you laughing at?"
Asked Kieran, who was tidying up the bed outside.
"I know what I'm going to cook for you today!
Looking forward to it? "
Starbeck turned to Kieran while brushing his teeth.
"Very much so."
Kieran smiled.
Then, he frowned.
"What's wrong?"
Starbeck instantly noticed the changes in Kieran's expression.
"Just a small matter.
Leave it to me. "
Kieran tapped Starbeck's head and went downstairs.
He pushed the door open and went out.
The alley was empty, not a single soul in sight.
Only a letter was left on the ground.
Kieran didn't touch the letter, looking at the end of the alley further away.
Sometimes, there would be people who acted smart.
They wouldn't reflect on themselves.
Especially when they had malicious intent, Kieran wouldn't hold back.
Out of nowhere, the Elite Hound appeared behind Kieran with five other Hounds. Without any orders, the six Hounds threw themselves at Kieran.
