I lifted my hand and summoned Knight.
The circle flared softly, and he stepped out with his usual calm presence. His eyes moved once around the room, and his tail flicked behind him in a slow motion.
"Oh," he said, his lips curling slightly. "So we're inside the zone already."
I nodded. "Yeah. And it's worse than I imagined. It's insane."
Knight's gaze sharpened with interest. "Sounds like a place worth exploring."
"That's exactly what I was thinking," I replied. "You and me. We take a look around on our own. No attention. No traces left behind. We'll need to hide ourselves properly."
A faint grin appeared on his face. "That does sound fun."
"There's a catch," I added. "Three Transcendent demons are keeping watch outside. I will tell the entire story to you while we explore."
Knight nodded once, instantly serious. "Then we move clean."
I stood up from the bed. "Let's go."
The space around us folded.
In the next instant, we were no longer inside the bunker.
