The Deepest Part
The four of us continued descending further down. The mayor who was guiding us is gone, but there is basically only one path.
In some tricky game with puzzles, they might do something nasty like making you climb up again before going down. But realistically, that's unlikely here.
We kept running in silence, and at the end of the narrow, long staircase, there was a large door.
Fortunately, there has been no interference from Mad since the shutter incident, so our progress has been smooth.
Lettie, with her lips pursed, kept glancing at me, but I ignored her. I can guess the reason, but right now I don't have time for that.
"Finally, we seem to have reached the right place," I said, catching my breath.
I put my hand on the door and opened it.
Beyond the door was a single large room with no other exits or entrances.
