After they defeated the statue, they proceed to their destination. It"s a luxurious door with a big lock which gets melted easily by Chris"s magic. Then they pushed open the door and entered that mysterious room. As soon as they entered the room, they are a bit surprised at the interior design. It looks like a room for a little girl, the room is filled with plush toys and dolls. The cute and childish design of the room shows a total contrast with the dungeon outside. They examined the room but didn"t find anything suspicious.
"Could it be this is not the place we are looking for?" Sky asked. Chris did not answer him, he continues to examine the whole place, then he stopped and start staring at a small delicate chair.
"Is there anything wrong with that cha... Ah... This is... " Sky was confused at first he soon realized what had drawn Chris"s attention after he tries to focus his concentration to that chair.
A vision of a little girl is shown in their mind. It shows that the girl was getting locked out by some mysterious people, she was given food and drink at the beginning, but after a few months, she was totally left unattended and died of dehydration.
Chris crouches down and pats the unseen being on the chair with a rather gentle look.
"It must be really scary to be locked in here alone all these years, right? Can you tell us your name?" Then the little girl tells them her name through their mind. Sky checks the list from Enma again, her name is in the list, her name is an extra name that is not tally with the distribution of Enomoto"s clan.
"Don"t worry, we will get you out of here and bring you to where you should be going." said so, Chris look at Seito and Seito understands what Chris wants him to do.
Seito takes out a piece of white gemstone and placed it on the chair before silently recite a mantra, the white gemstone turns red. Then he picked up the gemstone and carefully placed it into a tiny leather bag.
"I guess we should get her to Enma." said Sky.
"Mmm... Let"s get out of here." said Chris.
Just when they are going to step out of a door they heard a clear "klink" sound from the chair. They turned back and found a key under the chair. Sky picks up the key and examines it for a while, then a thought flashed through his mind, he looks at Chris, and they nodded to each other before running out from the room to the door at the other side, Seito who is a bit confused, followed them.
They reached that door and unlock it with the key, behind the door is a staircase that leads to the other floor. They followed the stairs and reached a dead end.
"There must be something hidden here..." said Chris while examining the area.
"How about we just break through it by force?" Sky asks, and to his surprise, Chris steps back a bit which indicates him to do it.
"Actually I was joking, but..." Sky focused his magic on the area where the entrance supposed to be, the area cracked after a few seconds and crumbled down creating a hole that is big enough for them to pa.s.s through.
As soon as they pa.s.sed through, they saw a scene that both shocked and enraged them...

Utube live broadcast.
Maria is playing some sort of situation puzzle with his audience.
"Is that person a girl? No, it"s not... Yes, he is a boy." Maria is responding to his audience questions for the situation puzzle. Suddenly, his phone ring, it"s from Seito.
"h.e.l.lo? Sei-chan? Anything wrong... Ah... Hold on." Then, Maria turned on the speaker so his audience can hear the conversation.
"Repeat what you said just now." said Maria.
"Alright. Just now, when we are exploring that old folk home, we found a secret entrance that leads to a small room. In that small room, there are more than twenty children in the age less than twelve years old." said Seito, and crying of little children can be heard in the background.
"After asking some of the older children, we found out that this is actually an illegal human trafficking case. These children are been kidnapped from various places and been locked inside here. We had made a police report, and I believe the polices are on the way here. "said Seito.
"Oh my! That"s horrible! How could someone do something like that? Thanks for the information, I hope everything is all right at your side." said Maria.
"Don"t worry, Sky and Chris are currently comforting and taking care of the children... Ah... I"ll call you back later. Bye." said Seito before hanging up the phone.
The live chat.
"Omg! That"s awful! If Maria chan and the others did not decide to go explore that place, I can"t imagine what will happen to those children."
"I"m going to pay attention to the news to see if this is real."
"If this is real, then they are heroes."
"This can"t be fake right? They already made a police report, and I hear children crying just now in the background."
"So they were using those fake rumors as a cover of their crimes! Luckily that they didn"t give up on the exploration."
"Yes, they are real heroes."...
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Later, Ben"s hospital, Sky and others are having some check-ups after the "exploration". Especially for Chris, yes, Chris, although how hard he tried to explain that venom will not cause any harm to his body. After that, they have some short talks... As usual.
"You mean, they feed the children to those goblins?" said Seito, rather shocked.
"Yes, this is the reason why the goblins survived even after been trapped in that small area for years." said Sky.
"But who is the one that did such a thing?" said Seito.
"Well..."
"Rrriiiinnngg..." Chris"s phone rang.
"Jason, report your status... Yes... Hmm? Dracula"s worshipers?... I see. Send them to Black Cross... Wait! Send them directly to Kingdom." said Chris, to the phone.

Sky: "As what Chris said. Right now, this story is free on the authorized platform, so please read it from authorized platforms as mental support for the writer."
Chris: "Mhm... There are two authorized platforms. One is webnovel.com. And another one is that messy and half-dead Weebly site that she uses for draft and backup... But not recommended."
Sky: "Ah... Haha. Yes, as Chris said."
Chris: "But look out, those sc.u.ms might change this note to their own website link. So, be cautious.
Sky : "By the way, if the cover page is the old cover page that shows two stickmen, stop reading it, it"s cursed and might caused the writer to stop writing."
