The Invisible Mogul novel Chapter 1767

Soon after, Gerald and the others returned to the chamber once more…

However, once inside, they were suddenly greeted by odd knocking sounds…

Now feeling vigilant, Ray couldn’t help but look at Gerald as he asked, “…Do you hear that, brother Gerald?”

Nodding, Gerald then replied, “I do.”

With that, all five of them immediately began looking for the exact source of the sound… until eventually, Gerald realized that it was coming from the very center of the round platform in the chamber…

“…The sound is coming from over there!” said Gerald as he pointed at the platform.

Hearing that, everyone quickly gathered around the platform before pressing their ears onto it… True enough, now that their ears were directly on the platform, the constant knocking became even clearer! Upon closer inspection, the knocking sounded almost rhythmic as well.

“…Do… you think someone could be trapped inside, Gerald…?” asked Ray.

“…Judging from the rhythmic knocking, that may just be the case!” replied Gerald, feeling that only a living thing would be capable of making such varied knocking.

After a slight pause, Gerald then instructed, “…Investigate the platform, Ray! We may be able to open it up!”

Hearing that, Ray instantly did as he was told. After a while, he noticed something odd.

After a little while, Gerald couldn’t be bothered tugging slowly anymore and simply yanked the chain—that was several meters in length—till it could no longer be tugged.

Now that the chain couldn’t be tugged any further, the round platform slowly split in two, revealing an opening in the middle of it!

Seeing that, Ray and the others didn’t dare to move an inch, simply remaining vigilant as they waited to see what would happen next…

Gerald—being the fearless person he was—on the other hand, simply tossed the chain onto the ground before walking toward the now open platform…

Staring into the hole, Gerald couldn’t help but raise his eyebrows…
