Chapter 241: Operation Wolf Slayer. (Part 29)
[Rose: There is a secret room at the back.
Kirk: A safe room?
Mr. Pike: It might be a hidden passage.
]
When the message reached him, Dante turned his attention to the white mansion’s 3D model, which he had Volcan isolate from the rest of the hotel. In the collection room was the dot representing Rose, now purple to distinguish it from Kirk and Mr. Pike. About five red dots had just passed beside it, but once they reached the back of the room, they suddenly vanished into the wall.
’They are... gone...?’
Dante tried rotating the model and zooming in and out, but he couldn’t find them. Since he had Type 8-3 equipped, with Volcan using Spatial Awareness to constantly update the location of every individual in the hotel, there was simply no way he would have missed the movements of a few.
’What is going on here?’
As he continued to stare at the model, he finally began to notice something odd about it.
’This room... why is it so empty?’
The collection room was almost on the westernmost side of the white mansion, with two storage rooms flanking it. Behind them was a long empty hallway, but when he studied it some more, Dante realized that there was a wall on one end, and since it had no doors, the entire area appeared to be completely sealed off.
What he thought was a corridor turned out to be a very long room, but that still didn’t explain how the rich scion and his bodyguards had disappeared. In the first place, why would there be a secret door that leads to an empty room? And if that was the case, why would people vanish the moment they enter it?
