Chapter 137 - The Future (1/2)
After searching the room for half an hour, no one was able to find anything that resembled either an entrance or an exit, so they all gathered back at the statue. Ray was currently still staring at the statue trying to figure out why the person seemed so familiar to him.
”Hey, do you think Ray is in love?” Dan whispered to Monk.
”He has been staring at that statue for an incredibly long time.”
Martha then came up from behind the two and knocked them on the head.
”knockout out you two.”
Then suddenly they heard a shout from one of the corners of the room.
”Dam it, there has to be an entrance somewhere.”
As the group turned to look at who it was, it turned out the noise was coming from Gary. Gary seemed to be frustrated the most out of everyone.
”Well, should we head back?” Slyvia asked the group.
Ray then pointed at the statue.
”Underneath the statue, there's another door.”
”What seriously!” Gary said as he rushed over to the statue and immediately started to push it.
”This thing weighs a tone,” Gary said, ”Come on are you guys just going to stare.”
Dan and Monk then came over and tried pushing the statue again but it didn't move an inch just like with the steel door.
Ray had actually spotted the door when he first entered the room, it wasn't like he didn't want to help the others but he wanted to stay and stare at the statue for a while longer. He felt like the longer he looked at the statue the more it reminded him of someone.
Ray then walked over to the statue and the others moved, he placed his hand on the bottom part of the statue and just like before the system reacted again.
”Would you like to enter?”
Ray selected yes without any hesitation; Ray felt like he was just about to discover something big. The statue started to move backwards and underneath it reviled another staircase that led into darkness.
”Just how far down does this place go?” Dan asked.
Unlike the staircase before it, this staircase did not spiral down and just lead the group straight down until they had eventually reached a trap door. Gary lifted up the trap door to reveal a ladder. The sound of water running could be heard from underneath.
”I'll go first then shall I,” Gary said as he slowly started to descend down the ladder. The ladder led to an even bigger empty room which was filled with nothing but rocks. The room had five tunnels in total but four of them had been sealed up with Iron doors, similar to the first one at the entrance
”Ray, do you think you can open those?” Gary asked.
Ray walked up to one of the iron doors and could see these were slightly different. These doors did not have a circular marking in the centre like the others. When he placed his hand on the door there was no reaction.
