Chapter 77: Chapter 77: Delving Deep

Translator: 549690339

Memories of a ‘wife being murdered by a cruel husband’ were flashing in his mind.

Interspersed were images of other family members being killed.

In these fragmented scenes, there were many images of the ‘head of the house,’ Baker Marcellus.

Only, this head of the house was no longer an ordinary human but a terrifying creature covered with tentacles.

Through his diary, Han Dong had understood this past, so he quickly skimmed some irrelevant scenes.

The main objective was to search for an important item in these memory scenes.

A magic book that brought misfortune to the Beke family.

Soon, Han Dong found it within the shattered memories of the youngest son.

On a day when Baker forgot to lock his study.

The youngest son ran into the study during his play and found the ‘stitched leather book’ on the desk.

Indeed, the exterior of the book was made of ‘leather,’ similar to pigskin.

The leather was a bit yellow and not clearly pig hair. From the image, it seemed more like human skin.

The surface of the book cover had clear stitching marks where black lines intertwined freely.

The most noticeable part was an eye in the center of the book cover, a real eye that could move.

Seeing this, the youngest son screamed in fear, and that’s where the memory fragments ended.

“No wonder Baker purchased this book without any consideration for the family’s funds.

For a man, who failed the Knight Academy and was constantly bullied by his wife, this was like a lifesaver appearing on his path—it was something he would definitely grasp.

He just didn’t expect, this lifebuoy would lead him to the endless abyss.

However, this book is harmful to him, but that’s a different matter for me.

If possible, I must find a way to get this book.”

Han Dong grew extremely interested in this book.

In the following time, Han Dong outside felt somewhat ‘bored.’

Because Cass and the others had gone deep into the tree hole, they simply didn’t have the intention or the ability to deal with Han Dong who was outside.

“Given their strength, as long as they can hold back the pollution, dealing with such a thing should not be a problem.

Miss Chen Li, let’s return to the mansion.”

“Okay.”

Under the night sky.

Chen Li enjoyed dressing like this, her hair spread out, deliberately hiding her face.

Also, she was in the habit of making a dislocated noise from her joints in motion during her walk. It wasn’t intentionally creepy; it was just a personal habit.

“As the night falls and the mansion restores, there might be unexpected changes in some places.

Yes, let’s go take a look at Baker’s individual bedroom.”

Baker had a separate bedroom on the first floor. Due to marital problems, they had been sleeping in separate rooms for the past two years.

The room was completely ruined in the previous search. With the roof collapsed and large pieces of reinforced concrete blocking the entrance, it was impossible to get in.

After the night fell, and the mansion was restored, Han Dong was able to open the door.

Also, from the memory fragments in his mind, he quickly found a secret passage leading deep underground at the bottom of the bed.

The tunnel showed clear signs of human creation, with cement steps built for easy descent.

Should we go down?

After brief consideration, Han Dong called Miss Chen Li and ventured downwards.

“Silist: such a proud and indifferent female knight. Her personality is quite like a female teacher at the academy during her living days—too stubborn, never asking for help from those beneath her.

Counting the time, it’s been nearly an hour since Knight Silist went down to the underground area.

Given her strength, she should either have quickly dealt with the corrupted Baker Marcellus or she got into trouble and got trapped below.

Although she said that if she needed help, she would let us know through her communication device.

But someone as competitive as her, would she ask for our help?

Even something challenging for her to deal with, we recruits wouldn’t stand a chance against, right? And her beloved sister is in our team.

If she encounters any danger, she definitely won’t ask for our help.

Of course, one possibility is that the communication device is blocked underground and cannot make contact with us. Either way, I need to go down and take a look.

If possible, must get the ‘magic book’.”

Han Dong did not believe that his strength combined with Chen Li’s could match the renowned Punishment Knight Silist. However, he didn’t fear contamination at all.

Just with this trait and his curiosity and desire for the mysterious magic book.

He decided to venture deep into the underground cave, to witness Baker Marcellus’s ‘Great Plan’ in person.

There was no danger during the descent.

The steps were around thirty meters deep, corresponding to an unutterably dark cave below.

“This smell…”

A strong ‘oil’ smell was floating in the air, indicating that a brutal massacre had just taken place beneath there.

“Have the rituals already finished? Why isn’t there any noise?”

Han Dong didn’t take out a torch. The firelight could expose him. The crow mask, metamorphosed from a beak, had a certain night vision ability. With this, he started to explore the cave.

It didn’t take long for Han Dong to see a touch of green firelight traveling in the darkness.

Upon getting closer, it turned out that the source of the firelight was the sacrificial array…

Han Dong hid at the back of two stone columns, peeping at the situation inside the array through the crevice.

“Has the sacrifice been completed already!?”

An enormous underground space, with green fire torches hung on all the walls.

The ‘oil’ was used to form a huge array, filled with a large number of odd words that Han Dong couldn’t recognize. And within the array were a large number of broken skeletons scattered around.

It was clear the ritual had been completed…

But Baker Marcellus, who had initiated all this, was nowhere to be seen, and so wasn’t Knight Silist.

Han Dong didn’t know what exactly had happened.

Just at that moment.

A somewhat cold hand fell on Han Dong’s shoulder, dragging him into darkness.

Chen Li beside him brandished her knife, ready to chase and slash.

“Miss Chen Li.this is a friend! You go back first.”

Han Dong was very decisive, putting Chen Li back into the portable prison.

The one who dragged Han Dong into the darkness was the [Punishment Knight] Silist.

She was injured, one hand pressing her bleeding waist while the other gripped Han Dong.

She lowered her voice as much as possible.

“What are you doing here? Where is Fiya?”

Han Dong immediately responded, “They’re all right. It’s me who decided to come down and support you.”

“You…can’t help!

Do you come down from another road? Hurry and take me up, report the situation to the Knight Regiment.

The target has lured the powerful creature outside the city wall into his body through the ritual… This place is his home ground; it’s not suitable for us to fight.”

Just then.

The sound of something slimy wriggling came!

Han Dong and Silist held their breath at the same time….
