âWhat⦠what is thisâ¦?â
Mirif muttered to herself in shock as she stared at the secret passage leading downstairs. She had never imagined that such a hidden space existed in the lab.
âCould it be⦠a storage area? But if it were, why would it be so secretive?â
Something about it seemed suspicious.
At the same time, a gut feeling warned her that she shouldnât go down there.
Was this really leading somewhere dangerous? Or was it simply a hidden storage space? She couldnât tell from just looking.
âDoes Professor Belus know about thisâ¦?â
Sheâd heard that heâd been using this lab for over ten years.
Still, it was possible he wasnât aware of every nook and cranny, including a secret space like this. After all, he didnât usually check the books on this shelf when giving her lessons.
Butâ¦
âThe stairs are clean. It doesnât look like itâs been abandoned for over ten yearsâ¦.â
The well-kept stairs heightened her suspicion. Why was there a secret passage here, and why did it look recently used?@@novelbin@@
If Professor Belus had been using it, what purpose did it serve? And why did he always stop her from cleaning his lab?
Once she began questioning, her curiosity spiraled.
âHe probably just didnât mention itâ¦.â
