Chapter 111 - The Cage (1/2)

Jason turned to take a look at the scroll that he was trying to pick as he let out a sigh and said.

”I don't believe that there will be a trap hidden beneath this scroll”.

”You never can tell until you pick it up” replied Diana.

”Hey, man do you think you can see if there is any trap attached to the scroll” asked Jason to the bracelet.

”How am I supposed to know when there is no life in it. By the way, what do you want to use it for” replied the bracelet with a question.

”For there to be a scroll here shows that it is a priceless treasure” said Jason.

”Then pick it up” replied the bracelet.

Jason decided to let it be as he turned to Diana and asked.

”So what is it that you pick before the trap is activated”.

”This is what I picked up” replied Diana as she raised her hand showing a lamp.

Jason was all frowning when he saw the lamp in her hand as he asked.

”You took all those attacks all for this lamp”.

”Not just any lamp but a mystical lamp” replied Diana with a smile on his face.

”What is the difference, a lamp is a lamp so what are you trying to prove to me” asked Jason with a frown.

”That's not the case with this lamp. Although I have not discovered the secret of the lamp, that would have to wait until I get home.

”I can't get myself injured beyond recognition over a treasure that I don't know a thing about” said Jason.

”I thought we are here for another reason and not for treasure” asked Sam who couldn't take it anymore.

”Relax man, we still have time for that” replied Jason.

”I don't see the time you are saying. Do you mean until the possessed has successfully taken another vessel and grow stronger before you will be able to have the chance” said Sam in anger seeing that Jason is not taking the matter seriously.

”What possessed is he talking about” asked Diana.

”It's a name given to a being that can possess the body of others” replied Jason.

”There is something like that here in this ruin” replied Diana as she still can't believe it.

”Yes there is and we have come across four of them already before coming here” replied Austin.

”This is sick, so what plan do you have to put a stop to it” asked Diana.

”We don't have any yet since we don't know where it is hiding which is why we came to look for you” replied Sam.

”And what makes you think that I will be able to lead you guys to where it is hiding and how were you able to know that I was here” asked Diana.

”It was all thanks to him that we were able to find you” replied Austin as he pointed at Jason.

”Now that you have found me, there is no way that I will be able to lead you guys to where this so-called possessed is hiding without going through some stuff that is related to him” said Diana.

”So what do you need” asked Austin.

”Well, I will need the body of any of the bodies that have been possessed” replied Diana.

”That won't be a problem, there happen to be a body lying dead not too far from here” said Jason happily before walking out with Diana following behind him.

After leaving the treasure vault, the group quickly went back to the tunnel where they met the possessed only to see that there was nothing.

”Sam did you destroy the body or did you just stab it to death” asked Jason after looking around and not seeing the body.

”Of course I did and I even watch the black smoke coming out of the body” replied Sam with a frown on his face.
