Each person held a flashlight.
So after entering, it didn't feel extremely dark.
However, everyone still felt rather strange.
This was a stone step passage that led downward.
They carefully observed their surroundings and found nothing unusual about the passage.
No patterns, no sculptures, no mechanisms—none of what they had expected to find.
It seemed they had come to an ordinary place.
A place built by ordinary people.
That's not right!
Even ordinary people could not have built this.
It's just not as eerie or lavish-looking, or perhaps the decorator didn't care about aesthetics.
"What exactly is this place?" everyone wondered.
One thing was certain: this place had not been opened or visited in a very long time.
There was a thick layer of dust on the ground.
And quite a few cobwebs in a state of complete disrepair.
Meanwhile, a dense musty odor permeated the air.
As if it had settled here for hundreds of years.
