Simon remained behind the eastern grate even after hearing the words of the Fourth Shroud.
The Fourth Shroud waited for a few seconds, then a faint smile appeared beneath his lowered hood.
"You can remain there if that makes you feel safer."
Simon said nothing.
The Nethri Demon glanced at the dead Hazard Officer before returning his gaze to the dark passage.
"I know you changed the direction of my needle. And I know you're the stranger she contacted through the Warden's Bone."
His poison vents opened slightly beside his neck, releasing more poison into the chamber and increasing its concentration.
"You're also not doing a very good job of hiding your aura anymore."
Simon's eyes narrowed but before he could respond, a violent impact struck the main door.
BANG!
Thin cracks spread across its inner surface, and this signified that the captain and Ossik would enter soon.
There was no longer any value in remaining inside the passage.
