Carter pushed the basement door. It didn't budge.
"Should I try the key?" Peter said.
"Wait."
Carter kicked the door hard. It still didn't budge. He frowned.
As an Elite, his strength was superhuman. But it still couldn't push the door open.
Carter switched to using the Prisoner and hit it on the door. A blast of red energy washed over the trio and pushed them backwards.
"This door isn't normal. It was sealed by some kind of supernatural forces." Carter said.
"The book must be behind it." Charles said.
"Maybe." Carter nodded. "Or maybe whoever sealed this door wanted to make sure whatever behind it wouldn't get out."
Charles and Peter shared a worried glance.
"Do you think that there is something dangerous behind it?" Charles said.
"I'm not sure. But it's possible. Give me the key, Peter."
The butler handed Carter the gold key.
"You two should stay up here. I'll go in first."
"Be careful down there." Charles said.
