189 A Hidden Section Inside the National Library(1)

The huge painting lifted up on its own and behind it was a door that leads to a staircase upwards.

William and I looked at each other in wonderment of our discovery. Good thing that this was the far side and usually deserted area of the second floor.

"Where do you think this leads to?" William lit up a torch that was found inside and lighted up the way.

"Well there is only one way to find out." I said and started to climb the stair case.

"Let me lead the way." William said while holding the lighted torch in his hands.

"Hmm, okay." I nodded in agreement.

Once we started to ascend, the painting started to go down from behind us.

"Well, we have no choice but to go forward I guess." William said.

The staircase that was leading up is enclosed with no windows, hence it was dark. The torch William was holding is the only source of light.
