Isha's group soon arrived at a corridor that split into four separate pathways. Above each entrance, ancient symbols were carved into the stone walls. However, only one path was completely clean. The others showed clear signs of danger, claw marks, broken weapons, and dried skeleton remains hidden in the corners.
Ayesha carefully observed the surroundings before speaking quietly, "The clean path is wrong."
Kavya nodded and pointed at the floor. "Too clean. No dust disturbance. No movement traces. It's intentionally misleading."
After scanning the area for several seconds, she pointed toward another corridor. "That one. There are hidden wire mechanisms near the ceiling. Meaning someone regularly disables traps there."
Isha immediately understood. "That's the real route."
Without hesitation, the group quietly continued down the correct corridor.
