The investigator nervously said thank you, then wrote down his name firmly.
"Li Zhen."
True and false.
Cheng Shi glanced at his name, silently put away the contract, and walked towards the lower level of the dungeon without hesitation. Li Zhen was stunned, then looked at his teammates around him and hurriedly followed.
Others seemed to want to follow as well, as it was much safer in front of the boss than staying on their own. But before they could make a move, Cheng Shi decisively rejected them.
"Don't follow me, I don't have time to be a babysitter, you're on your own until the trial is over.
But I would like to kindly remind you not to go up there, or you might get mauled to death by a bear."
As soon as he finished speaking, while the other three were still wondering why there was a bear here, Cheng Shi had already disappeared with the investigator.
The tree servant followed closely, and the three of them walked in a line on the dark stairs leading to the lower level, all in silence.
It is called a staircase, but it is more like a corridor.
This staircase does not allow you to see the upper and lower floors like in ordinary buildings. The connection between each floor of the dungeon is more like an interlaced corridor. Under the obstruction of the wall, the three people can only see the corner in front of them. Only after turning a thick wall can they see the next way down.
The loss of vision on both sides makes people feel depressed. The small and cramped space, coupled with the gradually dimming lights on the walls, make the atmosphere of going down become even more weird.
The sound of footsteps echoed in the empty stairwell, like the beat of terrifying drums that made people panic.
Of course, Cheng Shi was not afraid, because he was walking in the middle of the team, with the investigator leading the way and the Dusk Hunter following behind. He, the strongest fighting force, was well protected.
Looking at the seemingly endless corridor under his feet, Cheng Shi gradually frowned. He even wondered if he had stepped into the trap of [Order] and gone astray.
No, we can’t go any further. Let the tree servant go down and explore the way first!
Just as Cheng Shi was about to drive Yu Mu to the front, Li Zhen in front of him suddenly stopped and said nervously, "We're here."
"?"
Cheng Shi instinctively took a step back, pushed Yu Mu in front of him, and carefully looked at the solid walls on both sides of the stairs, and said in a deep voice:
"Investigator, you seem to have a lot of secrets that you are hiding from me."
Li Zhen's face turned pale, and he said in a panic:
"Boss, I didn't hide anything from you.
The reason I didn't tell you where the dungeon is in advance is because I just found out about it!
I learned from the Inquisitor of the Tribunal about the last level of the Howling Iron Prison. It is not at the end of the dungeon stairs, but in the wall next to a certain staircase.
I don't know which level it is, but I can feel the power of "Order" seeping out from this wall, so I think... it should be here.
Right in front of us!"
As he spoke, he took out an arrow, the tip of which emanated a trace of pure [Order] power. Under the resonance of this [Order] power, a wall beside them quietly turned into transparent waves of light, which faded away, revealing a huge underground stone prison.
In the center of this stone prison, there were three fully clothed prisoners, tightly bound with chains made of the Holy Light of Order, and hung high in the air.
One of them was Cheng Shi’s old friend, the first-level inquisitor of the Grand Inquisition and the budding believer of Chaos, Chenosley.
