Chapter 108 This ghost place is so big
“Keep yourselves, wait for our good news.” , and the guards did not show any abnormal behavior, Nohill immediately let out a few short bird calls.
Shui immediately responded after hearing the sound.
“Meow~ (Don’t worry, I’ve done this before, don’t worry about my safety.)”
Nohir smiled when he heard this and said no more, but immediately turned around and grabbed Ska.
Because he already knew the specific situation inside from the previous investigation, he directly grabbed Ska and took off, falling into the tunnel and passing through the phantom wall with very quick movements.
Ska was a little surprised by the illusion wall, but he still maintained the fighting qualities of a high-level paladin and did not make any unnecessary noise, and Nohir also returned to the top again to pull the trap door. Reset, then fly back.
After returning, Nohir made a gesture to Ska to follow him, then took off his double ax and walked slowly and cautiously in the tunnel.
Seeing this, Scar also took off his shield and warhammer, held them tightly in his hands, and followed Nohir slowly forward silently.
When they reached the first door, Nohir suddenly raised his hand to signal Ska to stop here first, while he continued to walk forward slowly.
He wanted to go to the end of the corridor first to see what was there. If there was nothing unexpected there, he would first turn around and investigate these two rooms, and then one room and the other. Explore slowly inside.
He first walked to the end of the passage and did not choose to stick his head out rashly. Instead, he calmed down and listened carefully to see if there was any additional movement.
The passage to the left is very quiet, with no footsteps or voices, but there is a faint buzzing sound from the passage to the right.
I can’t hear clearly what the sound is, but it feels like the vague buzzing sound conveyed by many people reciting fixed words together in a closed room.
"Damn it, couldn't I have heard it wrong? Are there so many people underground?"
Nohill also seemed a little confused after hearing these sounds. He even suspected that his ears might have heard him wrong. Okay, although the scale of this basement is a bit large at present, it is impossible to accommodate too many creatures gathering here, unless...
Nuo Xiang cautiously poked his head out, he first looked to the right, The passage made of stone is about 40 meters long, with a thick stone wall at the end. There is no passage that turns in other directions. Only on the left wall at the end of the passage is a thick iron-clad wooden door that emits dim yellow fluorescence under the door crack. Those tones The strange humming sound emanated from that room.
Nohir turned his head to the left again. There was no movement there, just like what he heard. No one could be seen except for the miserable green fluorescence. Even the passage itself was very short, probably It is only five meters long, but the most surprising thing is that the passage on the left is not the end. There is an additional tunnel on the right side of the end of the passage that leads to an unknown direction.
Nohir retracted his head. It was obvious that this ghost place was much bigger than he thought. It was very likely that this was not a basement at all, but a fucking dungeon!
This unexpected discovery caught Nohir off guard again. He originally thought that the underground space was not big, so the security force was naturally not strong.
What really made him make this judgment was that in the helmet's perception, there were only a few devils underground, which made him relax his vigilance. He naturally thought that there were only these few underground security forces. Only the devil, but now it seems that it is not so simple.
Damn it! If things really develop in the direction he originally imagined, they should be able to get what they want easily. Even if there is a battle, it will not be a waste at all. A few demons are no match for them. With the crown of control he currently wears on his head, even if there is a high-level devil entrenched here, Nohir can be sure to deal with it, but now...
"There is actually a dungeon underground under the Duke's Palace. , and she also secretly gathered an unknown number of subordinates in the dungeon, which is going to be troublesome now."
Nohir fell into thinking, and the complicated situation in the dungeon forced him to do so. I began to reconsider my plans to explore this place, and my previous relaxed assumptions could be completely discarded.
"...There is no other way. If I still want to continue this operation, I must capture a devil and dig out some information from his mind to confirm the specific situation here. There is no way to do something dangerous for this." There’s a way.”
Nohir looked over again to confirm. "It seems that we can't leave on the right side for the time being. There are too many people there, and it seems to have reached the end. Then we should go back and search those two rooms according to the original plan, choose a devil at random, control it directly with the crown, and then use him Use your brain to get information.”
“Oh, trouble, I don’t know how big this dungeon is, and if my guess is correct, there must be more than one secret exit here. , I must not be exposed until I find where Tavis Craig is hiding, otherwise this guy will slip away after hearing the news, and then I will have no choice."
Nohill said softly. Nohir stepped back and came to Scar's side. He didn't say anything but shook his head. Then Nohir pointed to the door on the left, signaling to search that room first.
Although Ska didn't know what Nohill saw there, he neither thought about it nor asked any questions. He just nodded and continued to follow Nohill.
Nohir stood in front of the door of the room on the left. There was no light at all in this door. The whole door also looked very solid. The whole door was covered with iron sheets and steel nails. The only hole was that Iron keyhole.
According to the structure and sturdiness of this door, whether it is directly forcibly demolished or opened with a key, it will alert the unknown devil inside, and then cause a series of vicious chain reactions.
But he has never been an indecisive person. This risk must be taken. No, wait, maybe there is a way to minimize the risk.
His intelligence, which was as high as 16 points after wearing the crown, immediately thought of a possible way. After confirming the plan, Nohir signaled Ska to go to another door to guard. to guard against any possible intruders, while he himself immersed his thoughts entirely in the perception of the crown.
This time, he had only one goal.
Completely connecting his thoughts with the devil hidden in that room, he took off the glove on his right hand and began to slowly pry the thick keyhole with his sharp claws.
He had briefly sensed the mental state of these devils through the crown before. At that time, he found that all the devils seemed to be asleep, and his plan was to break the door while the devils were sleeping, and then open the door again. Go in and sneakily hack them to death or control them.
Of course, achieving this is not as simple as it sounds. The noise made during the process of picking the lock can easily wake him up. In order to prevent this from happening, Nohill chose to Use the crown to continuously monitor the brainwave activity of the devil inside.
Once his brain shows any signs of wanting to wake up, he will directly sense it. He will stop directly at the moment when there is a fluctuation, and then wait for his brain wave activity to calm down before continuing to act.
As for whether it would be too difficult to pry open these iron locks with claws?
No, there is no such thing at all. This is actually not difficult for him. The mechanical knowledge he exchanged through the panel before allowed him to understand the principle of this simple iron door. This most basic Nohir was confident that he could pry open the iron lock with his claws alone.
Well, perfect plan.
Nohir smiled slightly and then slowly put his claws in. While picking the keyhole, he concentrated on sensing the devil's brain waves.
His movements were very fast. After only a few seconds, the keyhole was pried open with a click. However, the strange thing was that in his perception, the devil's mind was still dead. The door lock had been opened before. The click of it opening didn't startle his thoughts.
This is not normal. Although Nohill had experienced very calm thoughts when detecting the thoughts of those little devils before, as long as the perception time was a little longer, their thoughts would fluctuate a little.
But the devil inside is different. He is too quiet, and there seems to be no waves in his heart at all. When this happens, he either enters a deep sleep, or falls directly into a severe coma.
"...It's getting weirder and weirder here, but we've come this far, and we can't go back at all."
Nohir took two steps back and held the hand with his left hand. A bundle of activated ropes, softly speaking the secret word, and quickly making a spell-casting gesture with his right hand.
"Thumbs, opening doors silently."
