Chapter 193 : What happened after walking down the aisle unexpectedly .
Gradually it began to exceed the three's previous expectations.
In the dungeon below the warden's mansion, Ronald originally thought it was just like an ordinary prison, dark, damp, and in a very shabby environment.
But after actually walking down, he discovered that this was not the case.
In addition to its earthen structure, the stairs that extend downward are also covered with a layer of wooden boards. There are even metal components wrapped around the wooden boards at the corners to stabilize the stairs.
At the same time, there are neat lamps hanging on both sides of the road to provide appropriate lighting for this place where the sun does not shine.
Continue down to a depth of about five meters.
The stairs under my feet are about to come to an end.
At this time, 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:
"Just leave it to me."
As she spoke, the investigator girl took out a seed from her pocket again, lightly carved runes on it with her fingertips, and then followed it. The position of the stairs is thrown forward.
Gulu -
The small seeds fell to the ground and made almost no sound.
He just rolled down the stairs and continued forward, then disappeared from the sight of Ronald and the three of them.
The next second.
Nicole's spell once again had the desired effect.
The three of them stood on the stairs. Although they could not directly see what was happening in the dungeon, the lighting inside the dungeon still showed part of the scene in front of them through shadows.
The tiny seeds that fall on the ground begin to show the life force of plants in an instant.
The shadow reflected on the ground quickly expanded and grew from a small dot the size of a button.
New roots penetrate the ground, and branches, leaves and vines sprout from scratch and spread everywhere like the tentacles of the Kraken.
The guards in the dungeon didn't even have time to put up a decent resistance before they were surrounded by the sudden plants and immediately lost all ability to resist.
"..."
Faced with this result, Nicole scratched her hair in disbelief.
Looking back at her companions beside her, she asked in a low voice with a puzzled expression:
"We didn't make a mistake, right?"
"Just..."
"That's it?"
Facing the shock on the investigator's girl's face .
Swift shrugged and said calmly:
"At least judging from my reaction to the spell, they have indeed lost all ability to move."
As if to verify that his spell would not go wrong, Mr. Detective first He took the initiative and walked on.
It wasn't until he left the end of the stairs and confirmed the situation in the dungeon with his eyes that he waved to Ronald and Nicole behind him: "It's indeed
okay. Come down."
"It's actually not too difficult to understand."
"The strongest person in this house is not here now. How can an ordinary mysterious person be the opponent of your elite investigator?"
I heard Mr. Detective's opinion.
Nicole looked a little awkward, but she nodded in approval:
"That's right."
"..."
After a few words of conversation, Ronald and Nicole followed suit and walked down the stairs.
Standing at the end of this tunnel, everything in the dungeon suddenly became clear.
The structure here is actually very simple relatively speaking.
There is a table in the entrance hall, and some essential items needed by the dungeon guards are hung on the walls.
Farther ahead, three branched passages extend directly into the depths of the dungeon. On both sides of each passage, you can see independent cells opened underground.
Of course, in this space right now.
The most eye-catching thing was the technique that Nicole used at the beginning.
Branches and vines growing crazily on the ground locked the two middle-aged men in white clothes to the table in the center of the hall, while also covering their eyes.
Under this exaggerated restraint strength, the two guards were as motionless as if they were wearing restraints.
Looking at her results, the investigator girl nodded slightly.
Then he turned his eyes to Swift who was aside:
"How about it, do you need me to take a polygraph test?"
Mr. Detective shook his head:
"Leave this simple job to me."
He said two steps He walked up to the bound man, then raised his voice and asked in a sharp voice:
"Where were the two priests before?"
Hearing someone walking in front of him, the guard who was being controlled couldn't see who the person in front of him was. Who, but still instinctively warned:
"Who are you, you know this is..."
Bang Bang -
Swift knocked the two men unconscious without even waiting for the other party to answer.
Turning around and looking at Ronald and Nicole, he immediately said:
"The two priests are here, let's look for them separately."
Ronald nodded:
"I'll go to the passage on the left."
Nicole He followed closely and said,
"Then I'll go to the middle."
At this moment, the dungeon guard had been completely subdued by Nicole, and was knocked unconscious by Swift and restrained by the vines.
——Time is precious.
Without any supervision at all, the three people each walked into the passage of their choice and began to inspect the situation here.
However, the reality once again deviated from expectations.
Taking what Ronald actually saw as an example, there was nothing extremely tragic.
In the warden's dungeon, the treatment of prisoners is actually just above average.
Although there is unavoidable filth and mess, the prisoners' bodies are not obviously disabled, and their mental state is not hysterical on the verge of going crazy.
Even to a certain extent, it would be okay to treat the cells here as slightly messier warehouses.
This is so different from what he imagined...
With such complaints in his heart, Ronald also walked to the end of this passage.
He was responsible for only holding five prisoners here.
Moreover, the figures of the two priests did not appear in the cells in this passage.
After shaking his head, Ronald immediately turned and left.
When he returned to the hall, Swift also appeared here.
The two looked at each other, and the detective took the initiative and said:
"I only have five prisoners here, and I didn't see those priests."
Ronald shrugged:
"Same here."
The current situation easy to understand.
Neither of them saw the priest in charge of the passage, so it could only be Nicole's side.
At this moment, the voice of the investigator girl came from the last passage:
"They are here with me, you can come and help."
Hearing the voice, Ronald and Swift immediately walked in .
The passageway that Nicole was responsible for also held five prisoners.
But at the last position, two priests who had completely lost consciousness fell into a cell, and Nicole was dragging one person to his feet and preparing to walk outside.
See the scene in front of you.
Swift stepped forward without hesitation and picked up the other priest at the same time.
That's when.
Ronald, who was still staying at the door of the cell, vaguely felt that something was wrong.
Standing there, he thought about this trouble, and said in a confused tone:
"Wait."
"I think something is wrong!"
