Some memories of a wife being killed by a brutal husband flashed through the mind.
At the same time, there were also images of other family members being killed mixed in.
Among these broken images, there are many shots of the 'head of the family', Marcellus Baker.
Only, the head of the family was no longer an ordinary human, but a terrifying creature with tentacles on his face.
Han Dong had already learned about this experience through his diary, so he quickly skimmed over some insignificant images.
The main purpose was to try to search for an important item in these memory images.
A 'magic book' that brought bad luck to the Baker family.
Soon, Han Dong found it in his youngest son's broken memory images.
One day, Baker forgot to lock the door when he left the study.
While playing, his youngest son inadvertently ran into the study and found the 'stitched leather book' on the desk.
Yes, the cover of the book was made of 'leather', similar to pigskin.
However, the leather was somewhat yellowish and had no visible pig hair, from the picture, it looked more like a skin obtained from a human.
Moreover, there were obvious stitching marks on the surface of the leather, with black lines intervening freely.
What is most noticeable is that there is an eye in the center of the book cover, a real eye that can move.
The youngest son who saw this screamed in alarm, and the memory fragments ended there.
"No wonder when Baker saw this book, he went so far as to use the family fund to buy it.
For a failed man who was eliminated from the Knight Academy and bullied by women all day long, it was like a straw that appeared on the path of life, and he would definitely grab it.
He just didn't expect that this straw would lead him into an endless abyss.
But this book is bad for him, it's a different story for me.
If it's possible, I have to find a way to get my hands on this book."
Han Dong became extremely interested in this book.
For the rest of the time, Han Dong staying outside already seemed a bit 'boring'.
Because Cass and the others were deep into the tree cave, the other party had no intention of dealing with, nor could they deal with the main enemy.
"According to Cass and the others' strength, as long as they can stop the pollution, they should have no trouble dealing with this kind of thing.
Miss Chen Li, let's go back to the mansion and take a look."
Chen Li liked to have her hair , deliberately blocking her face.
It was also accustomed to the sound of dislocated bones as her joints twisted oddly during her walk, not intentionally creating a scary atmosphere, just a personal habit.
"Nightfall and mansion restoration, there may be unexpected changes in places.
Yes, let's go and check Baker's single bedroom."
Baker has a single bedroom set up on the first floor, which he began sleeping in separately two years ago due to marital issues.
This bedroom had been completely destroyed in a previous survey due to a crumbling ceiling and a large amount of reinforced concrete blocking the doorway, making it impossible to enter.
After nightfall and the mansion was restored, Han Dong opened the door to the room.
And, through the memory fragments that flashed through his mind, he soon discovered a secret passage deep underground at the bottom of the bed.
The passageway had obvious signs of being man-made, building concrete stone steps for easy descent.
After a brief consideration, Han Dong called out to Miss Chen Li and headed down.
A haughty and indifferent female knight like Celeste is rather similar in personality to a female teacher in the academy before her death, too strong and would never ask for help from someone of a lower status than her.
Counting the time, it had been close to an hour since Celeste Knight had headed to the underground area.
With her power, she could either quickly finish off the demonized Marcellus out, or go wrong and get trapped below.
She had said though that if there was anything, she needed help with, she would let it know through the communication device.
But would someone as good and strong as her ask for our assistance?
A guy that even she has a hard time dealing with, we rookies are even more unable to fight against, right? And there's the sister on the team that she cares about very much.
She definitely won't ask for our help in case of danger.
Of course, there's also a certain possibility that the communication device is shielded underground and can't get in touch with us at all.
In any case, I need to go down and take a look.
If it's possible, I must get the 'magic book'.
Han Dong didn't think that the combined strength of himself and Chen Li would be able to compare to the famous [Knight of Punishment] Celeste, but Han Dong wasn't afraid of contamination at all.
With this one trait, coupled with his curiosity and thirst for mysterious magic books.
Deciding to delve into the underground lair and see this Baker's 'great plan'.
There was nothing dangerous during the descent.
The depth of the stone steps was around thirty meters, corresponding to an incomparably dark underground cave.
The air was thick with the smell of 'blood', as if a brutal massacre had taken place down here not so long ago.
"Hard to believe the ritual has been completed? Why is there no sound?"
Han Dong did not take out a torch, the firelight could easily expose him, the raven phantom beak mask, which came with a certain amount of night vision, was used to explore the cave.
Not long after moving forward in the darkness, Han Dong saw some green firelight.
As he approached, this revealed that the source of the firelight was precisely the Sacrifice Formation, Han Dong was hidden at the back end of the two stone pillars, looking through the cracks to the inside of the formation.
"The ritual has been completed!?"
In the open underground space, the walls were filled with green flame torches.
Painted with blood was a giant formation with a large amount of weird writing that Han Dong couldn't recognize, and a large number of broken skeletons were scattered among the formation.
Clearly, the ritual had been completed.
But not the Baker, nor the Knight of Celeste, could be seen.
What exactly had happened was unknown to Han Dong.
It was at this moment.
A somewhat cold hand landed on Han Dong's shoulder, dragging him into the darkness.
Chen Li on the side was glaring fiercely and brought up her kitchen knife to chase after him.
"Miss Chen Li, this is a friend! You go back first."
Han Dong was very decisive and retrieved Chen Li into the portable prison.
The one who dragged Han Dong to the shadows was none other than [Punishment Knight] Celeste.
She was injured, with one hand covering her bleeding waist and abdomen, and one hand holding onto Han Dong.
Lowering her voice as low as possible.
"What are you doing here? Where's Fia?"
Han Dong immediately responded, "They're all fine, I'm the one who made the judgment and came down to support you."
You must have come down the other way, right? Hurry up and take me up there and inform the Order of the situation.
The target has drawn the powerful creature outside the walls into his body through the ritual, this place is his home turf, not fit for us to fight."
There was a chirping, the squirming of some sort of slippery object!
Han Dong and Celeste held their breath at the same time.
