Chapter 36 — The Hound of Hell [1]
A scorched black brick about two meters up the wall.
Secret entrance. Not marked on any map. Found it during my third playthrough by accident—clipped through the wall geometry during a lag spike. Turns out the devs left the collision detection lazy on this section. Lucky me.
I reached out and placed my hand on it.
Then, I placed my other hand three bricks down and one brick to the left of it.
Immediately, that brick too began to darken and burn.
"Three to the left and down, then two to the upper right, and four above that."
Relying on memory, I touched the bricks in order.
Konami code of bricks. Whoever designed this was definitely an old-school gamer. Respect.
Before long, four blackened bricks appeared on the wall, and then—
Ku-ku-kung―
The wall collapsed.
And in the space left behind, a stairway leading underground revealed itself.
"Phew."
Taking a deep breath, I started descending the stairs.
