No one dared to waste any more time; Bai Shuang had already arrived at the bottom of the cave.
She raised a torch below, letting everyone see what was happening down there.
The cave is indeed very deep, but once you go down to about twenty meters, there will be some downward steps that you can follow.
"It's safe, you can come down now!" Bai Shuang said to the three people above.
Without hesitation, the three of them jumped.
If they manage to escape, Bai Shuang might not be able to find them.
But none of them chose to leave.
Even if they leave, it won't be safe for them.
If Bai Shuang succeeds and becomes Contractor, they will definitely be killed.
If Bai Shuang fails, they will also be killed by the power within the Instance.
They can only face their own fate.
For them, those twenty-odd meters were nothing; they couldn't possibly get hurt, and they landed on the ground easily.
Bai Shuang was very satisfied with the three of them's performance.
Their choice to jump instead of running away shows that they were truly prepared to face danger.
This was their own choice, which is definitely better than her forcing them to make this choice.
"We'll go down the steps, you just follow behind me," Bai Shuang said, staring at the steps below.
The steps were more than two meters wide and stretched downwards in a winding manner. Even with torches, you couldn't see the end of them and had no idea where they led.
But they could all guess that this must be the place where that deity was imprisoned.
Keep going down, and you should be able to see something like the prison where He was held.
No one else had ever been here before; they were the first people to come.
No one knew what dangers lay ahead, not even Bai Shuang herself.
Bai Shuang carried the torch and walked to the front, and they continued down the steps.
The further down you go, the more eerie and cold it feels.
They didn't know what kind of god was imprisoned there.
However, judging from the current situation, this is undoubtedly a very evil deity.
They shouldn't expect that deity to take pity on them and let them go.
After walking for more than ten minutes, the long flight of stairs finally came to an end.
They are now in a narrow passage, the path is flat, but it can only accommodate two people walking side by side.
After exiting the passage, the space opened up ahead, and everyone perked up, knowing they were almost there.
They could sense that the eerie and malevolent atmosphere here had become even stronger.
A sinister aura continued to seep into them, causing their bodies to tremble uncontrollably.
Even the Bai Shuang felt uncomfortable.
Ahead was a huge stone gate, seven or eight meters high, which looked very heavy and was engraved with some mysterious symbols.
Bai Shuang stepped forward and tried to push the stone door, but found that it wouldn't budge.
The other three also stepped forward to help, and Li Qu even used his Monster System Ability User power, but the stone door remained unmoved.
Bai Shuang suddenly took out a talisman from her inventory. It was a quest item for this Instance, which would appear in everyone's inventory as soon as they entered the Instance.
This is the talisman of the Lord of the Netherworld, containing Lord of the Netherworld power.
When the talisman appeared, the stone door moved on its own and slowly opened.
Bai Shuang did not put the talisman back into her inventory, because everyone could take it out of their inventory and use it.
It's still useful, so it's more reassuring to keep it in our own hands.
The stone door opened completely, and they saw what was inside.
Behind the door was an underground prison.
The first thing you see is a small path. If you follow the path, you will see a huge iron cage that is seven or eight meters high.
That cage must be where that deity was imprisoned.
"That's it, this is it!" Bai Shuang exclaimed excitedly.
But the other three weren't very excited; instead, they were quite nervous.
Everything has gone too smoothly so far, and we're about to reach the most critical moment. I wonder if any dangers will arise.
After all, it's impossible to clear Instance so easily.
If things were really going so smoothly, Bai Shuang wouldn't have insisted on dragging them along.
The group continued forward and reached the iron cage.
Bai Shuang was incredibly excited because she was finally going to meet the deity.
She can finally become Contractor.
Everything went much more smoothly than she had imagined.
Despite the impending confrontation with a deity, Bai Shuang remained calm.
Because with the talisman of the Lord of the Netherworld in her possession, she could completely suppress this deity.
Even a god couldn't harm her under these circumstances.
Everyone looked warily at the cage, eager to see what this god looked like.
But after seeing it, the group of people had a feeling they couldn't quite describe.
All four of them frowned. Was this the god imprisoned here? It didn't quite seem like it.
Although they couldn't see the face of the person inside, they still found it difficult to equate that person with God.
He looked like an ordinary human being.
Especially the clothes that person was wearing; they were so ordinary, just like the clothes worn by everyone they saw in the city.
This is quite intriguing.
This god has been imprisoned for many years, perhaps even thousands of years. How could his clothes be the same as those of people outside?
But if he wasn't that deity, how could he be here?
This is the prison of the Lord of the Netherworld; even a god cannot simply enter or leave as they please.
Therefore, although it doesn't look like it, the person in front of you can only be that deity.
Even if it isn't, it should still be an extremely powerful being.
Otherwise, they wouldn't be qualified to be imprisoned here by the Lord of the Netherworld.
Bai Shuang held the talisman in her hand and said, "Those who have been suppressed by the Lord of the Netherworld, make a pact with me, and I will release you and grant you your freedom."
"Okay," the person inside said.
Bai Shuang was taken aback; she hadn't expected her to agree so readily. Didn't she want to avoid being bound by her Contractor?
Shouldn't He struggle and resist now?
Bai Shuang took out a black card and said,
"In the name of the Supreme Will, we enter into a pact: I grant you liberation, but from this day forward, you shall be at my beck and call!"
"Okay!" the person inside continued.
With a thought, Bai Shuang sent the black card flying out and bursting into flames.
The flames quickly engulfed the black card, which turned to ashes and fell to the ground.
The contract has been completed.
Everything went incredibly smoothly; the god offered no resistance whatsoever.
She didn't even use the Lord of the Netherworld's talisman in her hand to suppress it.
Her heart and face were filled with joy.
But her joy didn't last long.
Because she did not sense the existence of any contract, no valid contract was established between them.
This isn't right.
Could it be that the one inside the cage isn't that deity?
The person inside the cage turned around, a wicked smile on their face, and looked at them.
Bai Shuang suddenly felt a chill.
The person before me is definitely not that deity, but if he isn't, why is he here?
What exactly happened?
Bai Shuang felt like her head was about to explode. How could this Instance have so many unexpected things happening?
