47 - Book Of Paledeus



As the four went in the secret passageway Jisoo decided to stay back for a bit. She went back to the globe and grabbed the key quickly and closed off the lights. She then entered before it closed off completely. They made it downstairs and they met with darkness.

Even the goggles did very little. "At this rate how the hell are we gonna find that book?" Eunwoo says looking around the room seeing the very high ceiling it seems like some of the bookshelves are designed to keep the place from crumbling down they were like pillars.

Tzuyu led the way and behind her were Jennie and Eunwoo then Jisoo and Taehyung. They were walking towards the center they were being cautious. Every step they take closer to the middle dust falls from the ceiling. "Watch your step you might fall and meet your death" Tzuyu says as she warns the others since they were just walking right next to a hole. Taehyung picked up a rock and threw it in the crack on the floor. "That is one deep hole" He says before regrouping with the others.

"Are you sure this is the right place?" Jennie says looking a the library. They equipped their night vision goggles since it was only the thing that can help them see through the darkness. "I think this will be more effective." Tzuyu says as they reached the middle and picked up a torch.

Taehyung squatted and touched the remains of what seems to be a fire. He places his fingers near his face and examines the remains. "Looks like someone has been here earlier." Taehyung says and puts down his hands and grabs the lighter fluid just right beside the residue of the fire then stood up. Jisooo looked at Tzuyu "That is not a good sign. We must search for the book immediately" Jisoo says to Tzuyu.

"Ok, but we need light. Our goggles are doing the bare minimum." Tzuyu says

"Well we may or may not have a solution for that" Jennie says and the three looked at Eunwoo and Jennie holding up lanterns. The two got closer to the three "This should do the job just a little bit better." Eunwoo commented and opened up the black lantern. Eunwoo then grabbed a pocket knife in his secret pocket in his suit.

He then squatted and looked at Tzuyu "May I?" Eunwoo says has he held out his hand signaling Tzuyu to give him the torch Tzuyu gives it. Eunwoo started disassembling the torch putting some of the cloth in the lantern. "Ok I need the lighter fluid" Eunwoo says then Taehyung handed it to him.

"This should be enough" Eunwoo says as he spattered some in the lamp. "Here" Taehyung says and hands him a lighter. Eunwoo takes it then lighted up the lamp he then set up the other lamps. "That should be enough." Eunwoo says and stood up giving the lanterns to the others and before wiping his hands.

"Good, now let's scatter and find the bok quickly." Tzuyu says

They need to cover much ground as possible and grab find the book. Entering the castle was risky enough. But this. This is danger. Not only for their lives but for the sake of town.

Lisa and Jungkook observed every hallway from the monitors. It was impressive how a castle can have this amount of CCTV's and security is jam-packed. The three guards who were in charge of this place are currently knocked out and tied up to the huge poles they were also blindfolded.

"Keep in watch for Rose and Chanyeol as well as with Irene and Sehun." Lisa says to Jungkook and he agreed. Watching every move. Then they notice this tall guy started to walk in the direction where Tzuyu had led the four.
