“There’s some sort of problem there,” Klein said with a serious tone, pointing at the steps separating the living room and dining room.
He once read in the Nighthawks’ confidential records that if similar situations appeared in one’s spiritual perception, it usually implied that there was something evil and corrupted hidden at the target location. It was best not to interact with it if one wasn’t confident; otherwise, one might lose their life. Sometimes, even a mere glance could result in irreversible damage.
Dunn looked over, and similarly, with his high spiritual perception, he immediately sensed something wrong. He turned to look at Klein and instructed calmly, “Divine and see if we would be successful in our investigation.”
Captain didn’t get me to divine before we entered the castle. He was rather confident... That means that he believes that the hidden thing might be more dangerous than the wraith. Klein nodded in silence. He holstered his revolver and handed his cane to Frye.
He then released the topaz bracelet within his sleeve, held the silver chain with his left hand and silently recited a suitable statement.
Instantly, his eyes darkened as a breeze started spiraling around him.
“The investigation of the hidden place in the ancient castle would be successful.
“The investigation of the hidden place in the ancient castle would be successful.”
...
After reciting the statement seven times, Klein’s eyes regained their normal color. He saw the dangling topaz rotating clockwise.
It wasn’t very obvious, but it was unmistakably rotating clockwise!
That meant that the investigation would be successful.
Klein, who was already a true Seer, immediately nodded at Dunn and Frye.
“The danger will be manageable by us, or there could be no danger at all.”
Dunn pinned the Mutated Sun Sacred Emblem to the left side of his chest, then pressed down on his hat. He briskly walked toward the steps and expertly started searching for a mechanism.
Frye, who had picked up the gauntlet, handed Klein’s cane back to him. He grabbed his revolver and cautiously scanned the surroundings, as if he was afraid that an enemy would suddenly appear.
I’m still not professional enough... as a Nighthawk... Klein geared himself up and took out his revolver, and turned alert as well.
A few minutes later, it was unknown what the kneeling Dunn Smith triggered as heavy sputtering sounds emanated from the staircase.
The floor split open, revealing a set of steps heading down. A cold and corrupted vibe emanated, seemingly condensing into something corporeal.
Dunn glanced over and removed Sealed Artifact 3-0782 from his chest. He tossed it directly into the trap door.
After a few clanks, it was unknown where the Mutated Sun Sacred Emblem stopped.ƒ𝒓e𝐞we𝚋𝙣ｏ𝚟𝚎𝘭.co𝙢
If there are dead spirits within, they would definitely toss 3-0782 back out... That would be interesting... Klein stared at the stairs and waited patiently.
The lingering sinister and corrupted feeling soon dissolved away like snow meeting the sun. Warmness and purity blanketed the entrance of the trap door.
“Klein, go down with me. Frye will stay here and prevent other enemies from destroying the mechanism.” Dunn made an experienced decision.
“Alright.” Klein didn’t shrink back from the task. He took two steps forward and arrived next to Dunn. Frye nodded, not letting his guard down.
