"Then this is..." Fade was confused as he thought to himself.

Gorvyn pointed towards the stairs. "Look, there are still steps going down. We were on the second floor and should be on the first floor by now. There shouldn't be any more steps," he said. "Then..." At that moment, even Fade was speechless. He looked towards the stairs and saw a flight of steps leading towards the darkness and the unknown.

He clearly remembered that as they checked into the motel and went upstairs, there weren't any stairs going down from the first floor.

"This isn't the first floor; we're trapped. We won't be able to leave forever." Gorvyn's eyes were full of fear and despair as he spoke.

Heidey was as pale as a ghost. "This really is a haunted building. It's a haunted motel! We're trapped between the first and second floors. Well never be able to leave," she cried. These words of despair were like buckets of cold water being splashed over them as chills ran up to their spines.

Fade gave a long frown. He pulled Heidey and

Gorvyn over to the stairs and said, "Follow me. We'll go take a look."

Gorvyn was terrified and quickly shook his head. "No, not down there. This place is haunted. What if those stairs lead to hell?" He argued.

Fade was too lazy to care about him and led Heidey towards the stairs. "If you don't feel like going, then you can stay here as you wish," he said.

With that, he took Heidey down the stairs with him.

As soon as Gorvyn saw this, he looked at the creepy corridor behind him and the shadows that floated past the windows. He was instantly frightened and ran after them.

Fade wasn't walking very fast as he was leading Heidey. Therefore, Gorvyn managed to quickly catch up with them.

The three of them walked down the stairs one step at a time. Their surroundings were pin-drop silent.

As they turned around the corner of the stairs and were about to continue, a cloud of white mist appeared and the wind started to howl.

"What's going on? I feel so cold. We aren't really going to hell, are we?" Gorvyn spoke, terrified.

Heidey was pale and hugged her arms. "I feel cold. I can't stand properly," she complained.

Fade supported her and took a deep breath, inhaling the white mist around them.

As soon as the mist entered his body, he felt as if he had been drugged. His entire body became stiff and his senses started to dull. He also started to feel dizzy and his eyes blurred. He felt as if he were about to faint.

"There's something wrong with this mist!" He thought to himself as he stamped his foot. His positive energy erupted and purged the mist from his body. His mind instantly cleared up.

Soon after that, he infused Heidey and Gorvyn with his positive energy. Their bodies shuddered and they felt better too.

At that moment, Fade waved his hand and blew away the mist with a gust of wind. Then, he quickly walked down the stairs. Heidey and Gorvyn hurried after him and very soon, they walked down the steps. They took a look around them and were excited.

"This is the first floor. It's exactly as when we entered," Gorvyn cried out excitedly.

Heidey also nodded and said, "We've escaped! We've escaped from the second floor!"

Fade frowned and thought, "There wasn't a mysterious space at all. Heidey and Gorvyn weren't trapped; they were deceived by the mist and constantly went up and down the stairs. They didn't walk at all. That's why they thought they were trapped."

Although they had successfully escaped, Schultz had fallen from the second floor and was still missing. Fade still had to look for him.

Therefore, he went to the boss's room and knocked on the door. "Boss, are you there?" He asked.

Since there was something wrong with this motel, there was obviously something wrong with the boss too.

However, there wasn't any response even after knocking on the door for quite some time.

Fade couldn't care less and walked in after forcing the door open.

The room was empty and the bed was clean and tidy, without traces of anyone sleeping on it.

"The boss isn't here!" Gorvyn said.

"It's already midnight. Where is he?" Heidey added.

The duo felt chills once more as soon as they saw the room.

At that moment, a voice leisurely sounded from behind. "Why aren't you sleeping at this time of day? Why are you here?" The voice echoed.

Gorvyn and Heidey were immediately shocked by the voice. They instantly turned around and saw a face hidden in the darkness. The face was wrinkled and old. They got such a fright that they started screaming.

Without answering the boss' question, he narrowed his eyes and looked at him. "Boss, did you hear anything just now?" He asked.

"No, what's wrong?" The boss asked.

"Our companion fell from the window of the second floor and is missing. Would you allow us to search the other rooms?" Fade explained.

The boss was speechless when he heard Fade's request. He shook his head and said, "I don't know what you're talking about. I didn't see your companion."

"Really?" Fade squinted his eyes. "Everything will be clear as soon as we search the place."

Fade began to sense that the boss was acting very strange.

The boss was angry and spoke in an unhappy tone, "You don't have the right to search my place. You can always leave if you don't wish to stay here. You're not welcome here." "Really? What if I insist on searching?" Fade had a tone of viciousness in his voice as he spoke.

The boss' voice grew even deeper. "I won't hold back if you'd want to pick a fight," he warned.

As they conversed, the boss picked up a wooden stick with a stubborn look on his face.

"Cut the crap, old man. I'm sure you have a guilty conscience," Gorvyn said. He rushed at the boss and wanted to attack.

Although the boss looked thin and weak, he was very strong. Not only did he block Gorvyn's attack, he even pushed him towards the back. He even made Gorvyn fall to the ground.

"You..." Gorvyn was furious. His positive energy erupted and he displayed his strength as a Yellow Level martial artist. He was prepared to attack the elder. "You've angered me, old man. Now, I'm going to teach you a lesson," he snorted.

At that moment, the hunchbacked old man released his aura with a force that was stronger than Gorvyn's, pressuring him and pushing him towards the side.

The boss then stood up straight with a serious look on his face. His gaze deepened as he asked, "Are you sure you want to fight me?"

At that moment, Gorvyn was dumbfounded. He never thought that the boss of a hotel in the outskirts of Northern Jusberg would have the strength of a Black Level martial artist. The boss could literally squash him like an ant.

His face immediately stiffened and as he recoiled his neck. He dared not make a single move.
