“Ah—!”
A sound mixed with the wind caught the attention of both of them.
Standing to the right side of the building’s entrance erson, jumping while waving at them.
It was the Fatty.
“It seems they’ve found something,” the Young Master suddenly said.
On their way back, Jiang g g the forest that the others had mentioned earlier. The edge of the forest was about a hundred meters away from the building, and the outer trees were of normal size. But as they went deeper, the trees grew more bizarre.
One could evehe t tree s in the distance.
They were probably dozens of meters high.
The entire forest was enveloped in a stramosphere, with very small gaps betweerees. From his position, it appeared that bck mist swirled betweerees.
It resembled the mist from the building earlier—bck, intangible, with a texture simir to fine sand. When touched lightly, it dispersed.
When the doctor and the Young Master reached him, the Fatty hurried forward a few steps and quickly said, “e ahey found something inside.”
“What did they find?” Jiang g asked.
The Fatty pursed his lips, g the Young Master atg him, and then looked back at Jiang g, speaking, “A secret door.”
With the Fatty leading the way, the three of them finally met up with the main group at an inspicuous er.
The Biker Girl and the Rock Climber were whispering together, while the Loli stared distentedly at the two of them. Behiood the two-meter-tall man.
Despite his tall stature, the man didn’t give off a strong presence. Jiang g had heard his voice before, which wasn’t at all intimidating—it was actually somewhat effeminate.
When the man noticed Jiang g looking at him, he froze for a moment and then turned his face away awkwardly.
The Loli seemed to sehe man’s disfort. She patted his hand, then stood oiptoes and whispered something into his ear.
The older woman sat silently about three or four meters away from the stone door, her expression unreadable in the dim light.
Whety brought the other two over, the Biker Girl and the Rock Climber automatically stepped aside, revealing the door pletely.
It was a stone door.
Located on the left side of the building, it was roughly within the search range of the Loli and the tall man, but from the looks of it, the Biker Girl and the Rock Climber had probably found it first.
Normally, this wouldn’t be a big deal, as the mission was just beginning, and the likelihood of finding a crucial clue was minimal.
Furthermore, the stone door was still closed.
The stone door was made frh stone blocks, with many visible marks left from the grinding process. The overall color was dark, with a faint reddish hue uhe dim light.
It gave off the feeling that the door had once been submerged in blood, and even after being salvaged and ed, traces of the blood remained.
The Fatty was startled by the sudden thought that popped into his head.
Taking a deep breath, he stepped forward a few steps, trying to stay close to the doctor. Ever siering the building, bizarre thoughts had been popping into his head untrolbly.
He pinched his temple, trying to shake off the ay he had been feeling. The fear and tension from being here were making him overthink.
It was all the women’s scary stories; they sounded like something from a horror novel.
The Young Master turo look at the Biker Girl and the Rock Climber, asking, “Have you tried it?”
“We pushed together a few times,” the Rock Climber answered first, “but the door didn’t budge. It’s probably not opehat way.” The st sentence was her guess.
After all, this was a stone door that had been sealed for who knows how many years. Even if it could be opened, it would likely require a lot of force.
Jiang g stepped forward and slowly touched the door, especially the edges of the doorframe. The Young Master stepped back, looking for any meisms he broken stone pilr or scattered rocks.
Just as the Fatty was about to be distracted by the woman’s stories again, Jiang g suddenly made a sound.
“Hmm?”
The sudden noise immediately caught everyone’s attention.
Jiang g took a step to the left, then positioned himself close to the wall at a near-parallel ao the door. After a few seds, he seemed dissatisfied with his initial findings and ged angles several more times.
In the end, he still had a look of suspi on his face.
“What did you find?” The Biker Girl swallowed nervously and asked.
She had studied the door before they arrived but hadn’t noticed anything unusual. It seemed like just an ordinary stone door.
“There’s something on the door,” Jiang g said, “It looks like a carved pattern or design, but it only be felt with your hand, you ’t see it.”
Before he finished speaking, almost everyone rushed forward to touch the door. Each person’s face lit up with a different expression.
Ihere were carvings, but they were very shallow—nothing that could be seen with the eyes, only felt by touch.
The Young Master thought for a moment, stepped back, picked up a handful of dirt from the ground, and scattered it over the door. In an instant, the carvings became visible.
It was an image of a creature with horns on its head, a muscur body resembling a fish, its body covered in dense scales. What was even more bizarre was that it had two pairs of bat-like wings on its back.
The top pair of wings was rger, and the bottom pair was smaller.
It had no limbs, only fins where the limbs would be, but they were much thicker than those of a typical fish. If Jiang g had to describe it, he would say it seemed like an aquatic creature in the process of evolving into a nd-dwelling creature.
There were no eyes, or if there were, they were erased or never drawn. Instead, he face was a rge mouth that seemed to open wide, almost splitting the body in half.
“What is this thing?” The Rock Climber asked in disbelief, her eyes wide. So far, she had gone on five missions and seen many strahings, but this was the stra yet.
They had dealt with vengeful spirits before, and some were even perverse during their lives, being even more ruthless after death.
But this... she couldn’t help but think of the rec the older woman had mentioned, where the person clearly seemed to have been attacked by something.
And the most important thing was, that thing had e from the sea.
