Chapter 856 A Basement
By the time Alex returned to Green Mountain Monastery in the mountains, the sky was already pitch-black. The moon that was initially shining brightly had been obscured by the clouds.
Left with no other recourse, he could only take out his phone and turn on the flashlight to illuminate hisway. Relying on the dim light, he cautiously stepped into the monastery.
Everything was fine in the beginning, but it felt increasingly ominous the deeper he went. Thatconvinced him further that there was something different in that place.novelbin
He explored the whole place, but he found nothing. After a closer look at the puddle of blood hepreviously spotted, however, he had ascertained that it was human blood.
How could there be nothing at all?
He had decided to come over and investigate things because he wanted to see whether there wereopportunities there, hoping that he could boost his capabilities.
After all, nothing ventured, nothing gained. He had always believed in that, but the outcome wascontrary to his expectations this time.
Be that as it may, he was loathed to leave empty-handed.
Just then, a flash of something flittered across his eyes.
A possibility occurred to him-could it be that there’s a basement here? Stanley was confined in abasement when he was kidnapped back then.
At that thought, he flattened himself and plastered his ear to the ground, listening carefully. Indeed,muted footsteps drifted into his ear.
If it were an ordinary person, the individual would never have heard anything. However, Alex was aMaster warrior, and he discovered the anomaly.
Sure enough, I hit the nail on the head! This Green Mountain Monastery isn’t as simple as it looks.Since there’s an underground passage and people, where’s the entrance? This place is exceedinglyplain, with only the statue of Eona appearing brand new in the entire building, looking as though it hadbeen commissioned in the recent past. Could the entrance be there?
No sooner had that notion popped into his mind than he swiftly raced to the main hall. He bowed at thestatue of Eona before climbing up and turning it forcefully. As expected, it moved.
A hole the size of the mouth of a well came into sight. Unlike the pitch-darkness outside, a faint lightflickered within.
He did not jump down right away. Instead, he carefully listened for a while outside to discern whetherthere was anyone lying in ambush down there. When there was no unusual movement after some time,he finally leaped down.
The instant he did so, a thud broke the silence. On the heels of that, he heard a voice shrieking awarning that someone had found the place, followed by a flurry of frantic footsteps.
He had no plans of making a move rashly in that cramped basement while also being unaware of theother party’s capabilities.
Considering his capabilities, he might cause the basement to collapse. At that time, he might be buriedalive there, and that would be unfortunate.
Now that he had been discovered, he could only find someplace to hide.
Fortunately, there were many rooms in the basement. It looks like there are quite a lot of people downhere. What kind of shady activity are they up to in this underground space?
As he recalled the children’s shoes, caps, and the like outside, coupled with Stannis’ words, an ideatook shape in his mind.
This might likely be the same situation Stanley encountered back then, with this place being a spot toharvest children’s organs!
Alex found such behavior downright abhorrent and despicable. If that’s really the case, I’m going tointerfere since I’ve run into it!
He pushed open the door to one of the rooms, planning to hide in there and hold someone hostage toget an idea of the specific situation before he made a move.
Once the door swung open, he was greeted by the sight of a couple doing the horizontal exercise onthe bed. They were both shocked upon seeing that someone had barged in.
