Shen Jue quickly peeled off the peeling paint from the wall.

However, the wall plaster did not break directly. Instead, it was peeled off slowly by Shen Jue, like skin, revealing a hidden door behind the wall.

Shen Jue: ? ? ?

There's a hidden door here?

She hadn't discovered the hidden door when she activated her Illusionary Eyes, but Shen Jue had a good memory; she remembered that the place was indeed empty before, and there was no wall covering concealing information.

Therefore, Shen Jue was very surprised to discover the hidden door.

This hidden door was a path Shen Jue had never considered, and it wasn't part of her plan. Now, she was going to change her original plan.

To implement another plan, perhaps we should go and take a look through this secret door; maybe we'll find a good option.

Shen Jue looked around to make sure no one was following him before pushing open the hidden door.

The place that this secret door leads to must hold a secret she doesn't know about.

The path behind the hidden door was very dark. Even with Shen Jue's excellent night vision, he could only use a flashlight to illuminate the space.

Shen Jue didn't know how long she had been walking until she sensed a change in the terrain ahead.

Shen Jue stopped in her tracks, and then she took out a few more small puppet cards and large puppet cards.

Sending them ahead to explore the way can reduce risks and greatly improve her safety.

Anyway, as long as Shen Jue doesn't have to take risks, he's willing to spend the time and energy to protect himself.

If you can avoid personally getting involved, then do so.

The little puppet and the big puppet went in one by one to test the poison for her.

Currently, both the small and large puppets she sent out have suffered different losses.

She lost 3 small puppets and 2 large puppets, but these 5 puppet cards saved her 5 detours.

Shen Jue chose the last path, which was also the only one where the little puppet card didn't fail.

Following behind this little puppet, she is currently safe.

Shen Jue's mental detection and perception were never turned off; in unknown places, it was always important to remain vigilant.

Shen Jue estimated that he had been walking through this passage for almost an hour.

She was becoming increasingly curious about what secrets this road held.

What Shen Jue wanted was to increase her mission progress.

Shen Jue's current mental perception covered a vast area, but she didn't have to wait long.

[Suspicious dark matter detected. Side quest initiated: Investigate the details of the dark matter. Current quest progress: 0%.]

Well! She hasn't even finished her previous side quest, and now she's already started a new one.

Is it because she's having too much of an easy time now that they're starting to make things more difficult for her?

More importantly, this side quest doesn't clearly state what the reward is.

If we can see a reward, that would be better, since at least we'd have something to look forward to.

For side quests like these that don't have a reward system, you never know what the outcome will be after completing them.

However, since we're already here and have triggered a new side quest, we might as well do it!

Anyway, she's only guessing about the progress of the Merfolk's mission at the moment, and can't be sure about it.

Shen Jue accepted the newly triggered side quest well.

She kept walking and walking along the passage!

Finally, a different terrain appeared again within the range of her mental perception.

This time, it was a room.
