"What? Why would you choose to enter this cursed sinkhole? The non-magic tolerance environment of this place is not very ideal for your body." said Sky, rather concerned and anxious. "Don't worry, after you destroy that statue, the magic press of this place had been weakened a bit. Well, despite the fact that the magic pressing effect here is still stronger compared with the magic pressing effect in Null Dimension, but at least we are able to use basic to average level of magic in here right now." said Chris.
"Ah... So, it actually works..." Sky mumbled. "Yes, which is why I decided to take risk and entered this sinkhole." said Chris. "I see... Hold on! How about the others? Did they followed you as well?" said Sky as he forced himself up to look at the surrounding more clearly. And to his surprise, he only see Chris, Junior and the two siblings that somehow got tied up at the corner.
"Well, as you can see, it's only Junior and me. I am not that ruthless to risk everyone else's life. Junior insisted to follow me here as he still think that it's his fault for the error in the aircraft's autopilot route. As for those two ladies, Jimmy insisted they are bad people and wanted me to tie them up, and so resulting what you see right now." said Chris, in a casual tone. "Uh-huh... They might not be the best kind of people but it seems like we have some serious misunderstanding here..." said Sky with an awkward smile...

After Sky explained the whole situation to Chris, Chris released Tata but still keep Lili tied up firmly since Jimmy is furiously stopping them from doing so.
"There you have it, I was planning to release both of them but Jimmy doesn't allow me to, just like how he insisted to get both of them tied up." said Chris, who is obviously throwing the ball to Jimmy.
In fact, Chris didn't even planned to release Lili since the beginning as he realised what Lili had done to Sky, or rather, he almost killed Lili if it's not Tata the one that begged for mercy once again.
After Chris briefly explained their current situation to Sky, they started exchanging the information they got about that cursed sinkhole. Sky told him about everything the spirit lady told him, while Chris shown his geographical analysis results of the sinkhole in the form of a detailed geological map.
"Oh my! You actually made this in such a short time frame? What an amazing efficiency!" Sky exclaimed. "Well, Junior helped a lot too. Anyway, based on what you said just now, we will need to find all the hidden statues in order to break through the magic press and get out of this place, right?" said Chris, rather thoughtful. "Yes, but the problem is, aside from the four publicly known statues which are already a hard task to find, there are unknown number of undisclosed statue hidden all over the place, which are totally impossible to detect." said Sky. "Let just look for the remaining three of the disclosed statue. I believe with such obvious weakened effect by only destroying one of the four, these four are actually the main magic block and give the most of the magic pressing effect. By destroying those four, it will be sufficient enough to balance out the magic force around this place, thus breaking this so called 'curse'." said Chris, explained everything in detail. Sky nodded, agreeing with Chris's point of view while amazed by his analysis and observation ability.
"And now we need to find out why they chose that spot as the execution spot and put up that statue on there." said Chris as he studied the map in detail. "Eh? There was a special reason for that? I thought it was just because it's the town centre." said Tata, sounds a bit blunt and naive. "My dear lady, I seriously don't think that spot was originally the town centre, like who the hell will put up the execution spot at the town centre." said Chris, while emphasizing 'my dear lady' in a sarcastic tone.
"I wondered if there is anything to do with the geological structure? After all, I have a feeling that the unknown religion preach did that magic block on purpose, they probably planned to sink this place since the beginning, although I definitely don't know why they chose to do so." said Sky.
Chris nodded, agree with Sky's words.
"Mmm... I was thinking about that as well. Let's see... if I am not mistaken, this is the spot where we found the first statue..." said Chris as he marked a spot on the map.
"Hmm... I probably should leave this for you, it's your specialty after all." said Chris as he passed the map to Sky. Sky accepted the map and proceed to study the map in detail. After studying for a short while, Sky marked three other spots that surrounded the first spot in a triangular formation.
"Surprisingly, there isn't any specific characteristics for the spot where I found the first goddess statue, thus I assumed that as a center of a triangle. Which actually quite make sense since the sheer force from four angles aren't strong enough to disturb the balance of such a huge area as it's distributed so widely thus deprived the magic block effect. This triangle formation however, despite of having a smaller coverage area, it is more focused thus stronger." said Sky as he pointed at the map...
