The wall!
A rock wall covered with green moss. [Love ↑ Go △ Little ↑ Talk → Net w
】
There was no so-called wall gap, the rock wall was a whole.
Not just this one, but all the other walls were the same.
"Prison?"
Kieran looked at the cell door on the opposite wall, then at the skeleton beside his feet and the shackles that extended from the wall. He frowned.
The scene before him was too familiar.
He had experienced the same thing in the special punishment dungeon, the Prisoner.
The only difference was that he was much luckier than the unlucky guy under his feet.
"The skull was severely damaged, probably a flail or a hammer was used to smash the top of the skull.
The unlucky guy who was shackled here was forced into a dead end, struggling and begging for mercy, but the culprit didn't show any mercy and killed him with a single strike! "
Kieran squatted down to check the skeleton and came up with such a conclusion. The scene from that day appeared in his mind.
Then, he turned his attention to the cell door.
What surprised him was that the cell door was not locked.
"There's light outside but the cell door isn't locked. If this is just an illusion, then the prison guards must have known that the person in here is dead!
But if they knew he was dead, why would they let him turn into bones here? "
New doubts appeared in Kieran's heart.
The process of a body turning into bones was not something pleasant to look at.
Putting everything else aside, just the stench alone was not something an ordinary person could endure.
Not to mention, this was an underground prison.
Kieran could imagine how everyone would have to cover their mouths and noses when the stench filled the air.
But even so, the body wasn't taken care of.
"Is there something special about it?"
Kieran unconsciously looked at the skeleton again.
He checked the skeleton in a more meticulous way.
But he didn't find anything special.
Without any results, Kieran stood up with a little regret. He carefully opened the cell door, trying not to make any noise.
In front of him was a corridor that wasn't long enough for light to shine in.
"Only one cell?"
Kieran looked around and was surprised to find that he was standing at the end of the corridor. Behind him was the prison.
However, there were no prison doors in this corridor.
At the other end of the corridor was the light source that brought light to the entire corridor.
Kieran cautiously walked over.
Almost every step he took, he would check his surroundings and his feet to make sure there were no traps before he continued.
Especially when he was close to the light source and was about to lose the protection of the shadows, Kieran took out his arrogant words.
However, Kieran was surprised once again.
There was nothing to be wary of in this hall with a light source.
Whether it was a person or an object.
The only thing that attracted Kieran's attention was the light source in front of him: the statue that was emitting a faint light like an oil lamp.
It was a ferocious statue.
The base of the statue wasn't the usual round or square ones. Instead, it was made out of stone. Several people were standing under the statue's feet, wailing in pain.
The statue was tall and sturdy, with a pair of wings on its back. It was holding a greatsword and a whip in its hands. Its face was pierced by a rotten arrow, making it hard to see its face clearly.
Even so, Kieran's heart was beating fast.
Although there were some differences in the details, the overall appearance was very similar to his devil form.
Of course, Kieran didn't look at himself in the mirror when he was in his devil form.
However, there was a realistic sketch in the Mysterious Daily News, which was enough for Kieran to know what his devil form looked like.
"What's going on?
Why is there a devil statue here? "
Kieran looked around the hall with doubts.
Other than the corridor that he came from, there were eight other corridors scattered around the hall.
The distance between each corridor was equidistant, and in the center was the glowing devil statue.
Kieran also noticed that the floor of each corridor was different.
More accurately, the patterns on the floor were different.
"A magic circle!"
After a thorough inspection, Kieran came to a certain conclusion.
Although his Mystical Knowledge level wasn't high enough to identify the function of the magic circle, he could still identify some of the runes.
Especially the death rune that was formed by 15 runes.
Kieran recognized it at first glance.
It was one of the first runes he recognized, so it was still fresh in his memory.
All nine corridors in front of him had the death rune. There was no exception.
"Is it a sacrifice?"
Kieran guessed as he thought about the strange layout of the prison and the devil statue.
Then, he started to check the remaining eight corridors one by one.
Just like the cell he appeared in, there was a skeleton with a broken skull in each cell.
Other than that, there were no other valuable clues.
Kieran returned to the devil statue. Looking at the glowing statue, he couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
"That mist must have some kind of teleportation function. It brought me here. A sacrificial ritual site!
But it hasn't been used for a long time. The ones who hosted the ritual are nowhere to be found. Plus, the devil statue was destroyed … "
"This place must have suffered a small-scale attack!"
No, it wasn't a small-scale attack!
It must have been an assassination! "
Kieran's eyes turned to the shadows in the corridor. He put himself into the role of the assassin.
"The assassin snuck in here and hid in the shadows, waiting for the victim to appear. Unfortunately, he didn't kill the victim with a single strike. Instead, an arrow was shot at the statue. Then, the victim fled in panic while the assassin chased after him!"
Kieran deduced the whole process.
His furrowed brows slowly relaxed.
The seemingly useless process allowed Kieran to understand that there must be at least one exit.
Or even two!
The first was the door that the priests who hosted the ritual used to enter and exit.
The second was the possible door that the assassin used to enter and exit.
The reason why it was possible was because Kieran speculated that the assassin might be one of the priests who hosted the ritual back then.
As for why the assassin killed his colleague?
It was a power struggle!
The first thought that came to Kieran's mind.
Maybe there were other possibilities as well.
But it had nothing to do with Kieran anymore. All he wanted to do was to find the exit as soon as possible.
Tsk, Tsk!
Just when Kieran was about to check the surroundings, an irritating screech sounded.
A moment later, a figure fell from the sky.
The second one was even worse.
Dispirited pinched his fingers and calculated. The five elements were lacking meat today.
So, on this day, Dispirited went to eat meat. To be continued
