Elliana Lyle finally saw clearly that this was a room filled with miscellaneous items, with walls and floor made of simple cement, no decoration at all.
In a corner of the room, there were stairs leading to the shop upstairs, as well as stairs going down to the lower level.
Without a word, Luna headed straight downstairs, and Elliana glanced back at the dark night outside the iron door. After hesitating for a moment, she chose to follow.
The lowest level still had cement walls and floor but was almost devoid of any clutter.
There was a door on the wall, likely leading to another room, beneath which dim light seeped through an ordinary wooden door. It was locked from the outside, but a key hung on a nail beside the door frame.
Crying. It seemed to be coming from inside!
Luna grabbed the key and unlocked the door.
As the door opened, a strange stench wafted out. She saw a girl sitting on a small bed, tears running down her face, staring at them in shock.
