What happens after walking down the passage.

Gradually began to exceed the expectations of the trio.

The dungeon beneath the Warden's Mansion was as dark, damp, and dilapidated as a regular prison.

But after actually walking down, he realized that this was not the case.

In addition to the earth-made structure of the staircase, the downward-extending staircase is covered with a layer of wooden planks, and there are even metal elements in the corners that wrap the wooden planks to stabilize the staircase.

At the same time, there are neat light fixtures hanging from the edges on both sides of the road to provide the right amount of illumination for this sun-less area.

Continue down to a depth of about five meters.

The stairs at your feet are coming to an end.

It was also at this time that Swift, who was following Ronald and Nicole, whispered:

"There are people down there, one five meters to the left, and another six meters to the right."

Hearing Mr. Detective's prompt, Nicole still nodded calmly:

"Leave it to me."

As she spoke, the investigator girl took out a seed from her coat pocket again, gently carved runes on it with her fingertips, and then threw it forward along the stairs.

Gulu –

The tiny seeds fell to the ground with almost no sound.

He rolled down the stairs and continued on, then disappeared from Ronald's sight.

The next second.

Nicole's spell worked once again.

The three of them stood on the stairs, and although they couldn't directly see what was happening in the dungeon, the lighting inside the dungeon still showed them part of the scene through shadows.

The small seeds that fall on the ground begin to show the life force of the plant in an instant.

The shadow reflected on the ground swelled and grew rapidly from a small dot the size of a button.

The new roots were planted in the ground, and the vines of branches and leaves from nothing spread everywhere like the tentacles of the North Sea Monster.

The guards in the dungeon didn't even have time to make a decent resistance, they were surrounded by this sudden mass of plants, and immediately lost all ability to resist.

“……”

Faced with such a result, Nicole scratched her hair in disbelief.

Looking back at her companion beside her, she asked in a puzzled whisper:

"It can't be that we've made a mistake, right?"

"Just ......"

"That's it?"

Facing the consternation on the face of the investigator girl.

Swift shrugged his shoulders and said in a calm tone:

"At least in my surgical response, they are indeed incapacitated."

As if to verify that his technique would not go wrong, Mr. Detective was the first to take the initiative.

It wasn't until he left the end of the staircase steps and checked the situation in the dungeon with his eyes that he beckoned to Ronald and Nicole behind him:

"It's fine, come down."

"It's not too hard to understand."

"The strongest person in this house is not here now, where can an ordinary mysterious person be an opponent of you, an elite investigator?"

Hear what Mr. Detective has to say.

Nicole looked a little awkward, but nodded approvingly:

"That's right."

“……”

After a brief conversation, Ronald and Nicole followed him down the stairs.

Standing at the end of this tunnel, everything in the dungeon suddenly becomes clear.

The structure here is relatively simple.

The entrance hall has a table and some of the essentials needed by the dungeon guards hanging from the walls.

Farther ahead, three branching passages lead directly into the depths of the dungeon, each with separate cells carved out of the ground on either side of each passage.

Of course, in this space at the moment.

The most striking thing is the technique that Nicole just started with.

The branches and vines that grew wildly on the ground locked the two middle-aged men in white clothes firmly next to the table in the center of the hall, and at the same time covered their eyes.

Under this exaggerated restraint, the two guards were almost motionless as if they were wearing restraint suits.

Looking at her results, the investigator girl nodded slightly.

Then he turned his eyes to Swift on the side:

"How's that, do you need me to turn on a polygraph?"

Mr. Detective shook his head:

"Leave this simple job to me."

As he spoke, he walked up to the bound man in two steps, then pinched his throat and asked in a sharper voice:

"Where are the two priests from before?"

Hearing someone walking in front of him, the guard, who was restrained, although he couldn't see who was in front of him, instinctively warned:

"Who are you to know that this is ......"

Bang Bang –

Swift didn't even have to wait for the other party to answer, and knocked the two men unconscious.

Turning to look at Ronald and Nicole, he said:

"Those two priests are here, let's look for them separately."

Ronald nodded:

"I'll go to the aisle on the left."

Nicole followed suit:

"Then I'll go to the middle."

At this moment, the guards of the dungeon have been completely subdued by Nicole, and at the same time, they have been knocked unconscious by Swift in the bondage of vines.

- Time is precious.

With no one to supervise them at all, the three of them each walked into the passage of their choice and began to check the situation.

Again, however, there was a deviation from expectations.

In the case of what Ronald actually saw, there is nothing unusually tragic here.

In the warden's dungeon, the treatment of prisoners is actually still on a passing line.

Although there was an inevitable mess, the prisoners were not visibly mutilated, and their mental state was not the hysteria that bordered on the verge of madness.

In a way, it's okay to treat the cells here as slightly dirtier warehouses.

This is too different from what I imagined......

With such a complaint in his heart, Ronald also came to the end of this passage.

He was in charge of holding only five prisoners here.

And the figures of the two priests did not appear in the cells of this passage.

Shaking his head, Ronald turned to leave.

When he returned to this side of the hall, Swift happened to be there.

The two glanced at each other, and Mr. Detective took the initiative to speak:

"I only have five prisoners on my side, and I don't see the priests."

Ronald shrugged:

"Me too."

Now the situation is simple and straightforward.

Neither of them saw the priest in the passage, so it could only be Nicole's side.

At this moment, the voice of the investigator girl came from the last passage:

"The two of them are here, you can come and help."

Hearing the voice, Ronald and Swift immediately walked in.

Nicole was in charge of the passage, which also held five prisoners.

But at the end, two priests, completely unconscious, collapsed in a cell, and Nicole was dragging one of them to her feet, ready to walk outside.

See the scene in front of you.

Without hesitation, Swift stepped forward and carried the other priest on his shoulders.

That's just at this time.

Ronald, who remained at the door of his cell, vaguely felt that something was wrong.

Standing in place, he pondered the trouble, and said in a somewhat confused tone:

"Wait."

"I think something is wrong!"
