Ke Meng stood before the basement door and removed the Sealed Item the Investigation Bureau had personally put in place.
After removing the Sealed Item, Ke Meng led the others underground, descending to the lowest level, where they found the strange iron door.
The iron door had a water inlet through which liquid could be poured to release the seal.
Xu Zishao sensed it and said, "Captain Ke, there really is an extremely tight seal on the door."
Without the correct unlocking method, this door would be very difficult to open. Some of its materials were even spatial materials, which were unavailable on Koi Continent. In other words, the Investigation Bureau could not open the door normally with its current capabilities.
But once Ke Meng took out the Master Key, none of that mattered.
Before opening the door, Ke Meng had already used Synesthesia in his dream to check. For the moment, no Disciples of the Door had come out for a stroll inside the Gathering Corridor.
With a click, the Master Key slid into the mechanical keyhole and transformed into a key suited to the lock.
He then twisted it to the right. A mysterious force ignored the seal on the door and forced the underground door open.
The people beside him immediately swarmed in, tensely aiming down the passages to their left and right. Only after confirming that there truly was no one in either passage did they slowly begin laying traps and barriers.
Only then did Ke Meng step onto the Gathering Corridor's goose-down carpet. It was soft, with a faint gripping force that could keep even someone who slipped steady on their feet.
Ke Meng silently sensed the energy in the Gathering Corridor's air. It was largely stable, with nothing particularly unusual about it.
