Chapter 457 (Side Story): End of the Labyrinth (4)
Dantel, the master of the Carmelo Family, wandered on the fourth basement floor, lost in thought because of a message that just arrived from a subordinate on the lower floor. The content was simple. Someone had entered the fifth floor and raised a pillar of light.
He couldn’t understand it. He had no memory of sending even a single person down to the lower floor.
That would mean they also defeated the Gatekeeper.
That made even less sense. Dantel eventually stopped walking and snapped his fingers. At the same time, the 256 Eyes of the Sage he had scattered across the entire fourth basement floor displayed their respective screens.
Then he issued several commands. “Mark the movements of everyone who came down to the fourth floor since yesterday. Exclude the ones who ran back up. Too slow. Double the playback speed.”
His cold gaze drifted ghost-like over the small 256 screens that could make an ordinary person dizzy just by staring at them.
“Number 17, number 49.”
Except for the numbers he called out, the remaining 254 screens vanished like smoke.
It’s certain.
They were the ones who came down to the fourth basement but hadn’t fled upstairs, and at the same time, they weren’t ones he had killed. Dantel observed them for a moment.
Among the suspects, group 49 does seem the most likely.
It was a party of twelve people. Their balance of classes was well arranged, making them seem like a team that professionally hunted in this labyrinth.
