Chapter: 876

“Alright, well, not every room’s gonna be filled with weapons and treasure.” He shrugged, leaving the room.

As Jay walked back into the hallway, a noise sounded from behind.

*Vrr~ Click~*

Jay jumped back with his sword ready; Red was at his side and ready to strike at the assailant.

“…”

Yet there was no enemy.

“Uh…?”

There were originally no doors, but now, in the doorway, two metal panels had appeared with a seam in the middle, forming a door that seemed to come out of the walls.

Jay curiously lowered his sword.

“The doors close themselves?”


Jay stepped closer to the door, looking for buttons or switches or a pressure plate on the floor, but it didn’t open.

“Strange... at least I already searched it.� he shrugged and turned to move to the next room.

*Click~ Vrr~*

“Ah? It opened when I wasn’t looking.�

Jay turned his head away, yet it didn’t close. Stepping away from the door, it remained open.

“Okay, so it’s not a matter of being observed or not.�

(Red, go through.)

Red walked through and back again, though there was no change in the door.

“So, it’s responding only to me. Perhaps because I’m human... and only when I turned around...?� Jay thought.

“Hmm...� Jay took off his bag and handed it to Red, who walked through the doorway.

*Vrr~ Click~*

Jay shook his head with a smile.

“Ah, it must have been that weird pendant I picked up.� he nodded.

Back on the surface before the assault on the castle even began, Jay cleared out a tower overlooking a plant-flesh pit. Blue had taken a pendant off a skeleton in a white coat, the same pendant which now opened these doors.

(Come back Red, wave the bag in front of the door.)
