Chapter 120: Dressed in Red

The 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.

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

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

Obmar walked to the wall again and fumbled around.

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

Then, something that shocked Quinn happened.

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

“This…”

Quinn pointed at that place, his fingers trembling.

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

“I don’t have time to talk to you now. Follow me down first.”

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

There 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.

This place was already lit up.

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

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

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

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

In 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.

They passed through one corridor after another.

Finally, Obmar stopped at the door of a room.

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

Obmar told Quinn to wait outside the door.

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

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

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

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

Pauline’s voice could be heard from inside the room.

Ceremony?

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

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

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

The 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.

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

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

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

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

Pauline’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.

“Yes,” Quinn heard Obmar respond.

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

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

Obmar began to take off his clothes and hat.

Of course, he had clothes on underneath.

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

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

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

Bodhisattva? Buddha? Jesus?
