nThe color of the floor under the wooden board was different from the one beside it. The color of this floor was obviously darker, and it was a square shape.

nIt looked more like a stone board embedded in the floor.

nQuinn's heart began to beat a little faster. This matter seemed to have become even more abnormal.

nObmar walked to the wall again and fumbled around.

nAs if he had found the place, he lightly knocked twice. Then he knocked three times consecutively, and finally he knocked twice again.

nThen, something that shocked Quinn happened.

nThe square, dark-colored stone slab on the floor slowly moved away, revealing a pitch-black hole.

n

"This...

"

nQuinn pointed at that place, his fingers trembling.

nHe was really a little scared! Why did it look like a hiding place for zombies?!

n

"I don't have time to talk to you now. Follow me down first.

"

nWhen Obmar slowly descended, Quinn realized that there was actually a staircase.

nIt was very dark down there, without any light at all.

nSo, Quinn turned on the flashlight of his phone. He even turned on the recorder on his phone when Obmar was not paying attention.

nQuinn followed Obmar down the stairs. The stairs were not long, about the height of a floor.

nAfter stepping on the real ground, Quinn and Obmar groped for a short distance in the dark before they reached a small door.

nObmar opened the small door, and Quinn realized that there was another world down there.

nThe basement floor was about the same size as the parking lot on the first floor.

nThere were many small rooms here, and the doors of the rooms were all tightly shut. Quinn did not know what was inside, and there was no sound or smell.

nThis place was already lit up.

nHowever, the lights here were a little strange. The color was red, making his eyes extremely uncomfortable.

nHe and Obmar walked through the corridors and passed by rooms one after another.

nObmar seemed to be looking for something. Using the dim light, he kept looking at the small sign hanging on the door.

nThe small sign was written in capital letters. Some were two letters, and some were three letters.

nIn Quinn's eyes, these letters were all randomly put together. They did not have any patterns, and they were not English words. He did not know what they meant.

nThey passed through one corridor after another.

nFinally, Obmar stopped at the door of a room.

nQuinn saw the three letters WZY hanging on the door sign.

nObmar told Quinn to wait outside the door.

nThe door was not locked and Obmar opened it with a slight twist.

nWhen he entered, he deliberately did not close the door tightly. Instead, he left a small gap.

nThrough this small crack, Quinn could see a small area inside.

n

"You're here? This ceremony will start at 10:37 am on time. Let's wait for a moment first.

"

nPauline's voice could be heard from inside the room.

nCeremony?

nThis matter seemed to be going in a different direction from what Quinn had expected.

nSo, the shortcut that Pauline mentioned was to pray to the gods?

nQuinn carefully leaned against the door and looked inside, not daring to breathe loudly.

nThe entire second floor of the basement gave off a very strange feeling. As he stood alone in the empty corridor, he could feel a gust of chilly wind blowing behind him.

nObmar and Paul were waiting for the arrival of 10:37 am. Quinn was also waiting.

nHe pointed the microphone of his phone at the crack of the door, hoping to record all the sounds inside.

nAfter waiting for more than twenty minutes, it was finally about 10.37 am.

n

"Alright, we can start our preparations now. The ceremony is about to begin.

"

nPauline's voice was very calm, no different from usual. However, in this particularly empty corridor, it sounded as if there was an echo, which was somewhat terrifying.

n

"Yes,

" Quinn heard Obmar respond.

nHe quietly opened the door a little so that he could see what Obmar was doing.

nPauline should be standing on the edge, and Quinn could not see her from his position.

nObmar began to take off his clothes and hat.

nOf course, he had clothes on underneath.

nAfter Obmar took off his black jacket and black pants. Quinn was surprised to find that Obmar was wearing red.

nThe clothes and pants were very common styles, but the color was too strange.

nFrom this angle, Quinn could only see Obmar, but he could not see who Obmar was praying to.

nBodhisattva? Buddha? Jesus?
