For some time afterward.
Decayer and Liriel continued "treasure hunting" in the Interrogation Labyrinth. Within five hours, they found another three treasure chests and passed through two Walls of Questions.
As for the questions on those two Walls of Questions, Angel no longer interfered. He let Nomephins ask whatever questions it pleased.
There was only one requirement: try not to stall their progress with the questions.
If he truly needed to hold up their progress later, he could use the treasure chests to do so.
Nomephins followed Angel's intentions exactly when setting its questions.
As for how it could ask high-quality questions without stalling their progress? The answer was simple: ask more subjective questions and fewer questions with objective answers.
Take one plus one, for example. If it directly asked what the answer was, then if they answered anything other than two, they would be stuck.
But if it changed the wording into something subjective, such as: What do you think one plus one should equal?
The answer could be one plus one equals two, or one plus one equals eight. As long as they could make a case for it, even if they said one plus one equaled an obtuse angle, Nomephins would pass them with its eyes closed.
In short, that was essentially how Nomephins handled the next two Walls of Questions. The questions were not easy, but Decayer and Liriel both gave quite good answers.
Another half hour passed after that.
Their experiences during that half hour were relatively calm. They neither found treasure chests nor encountered a Wall of Questions.
However, they came across a rather hidden room. It was completely empty, with nothing inside, which struck them as very strange.
"I have a feeling there's a treasure chest here," Liriel said.
Decayer nodded in deep
