There was clearly no one behind them.
Yet the huge iron chain had appeared out of nowhere and then locked the gate from the inside.
Reason told Fatty that what was happening now was certainly not due to the iron chain becoming sentient.
"I mean..." Fatty stopped walking and turned to Zi Liang. "There was no one behind us just now, right?"
Zi Liang pursed his lips, hesitated, then shook his head. "There were no humans… but as for ghosts, perhaps."
Fatty: "..."
Forget it; it was better to keep quiet than talk to this sort of person.
In the dim light, Zi Liang lifted his head and looked toward the gate. "But when I came in, I saw a staircase by the entrance. Could something have come down from there and locked the gate?"
Inspired by this, Fatty suggested a bold plan. "Should we go look by the staircase?"
Frequent experiences in Mysterious Dungeons had considerably emboldened Fatty, and he had adopted Gu Mian's ultimate strategy: when it's time to court death, then court death.
