"Back to spikes, huh… I suppose they are still effective." Lin Mu muttered to himself as he stood on top of the spikes.

His Immortal sense didn't work here either, thus he quickly took a look around with his Spatial Sense. 'Nothing in the immediate vicinity other than the brass knocker at least.' Lin Mu determined before turning to look at the object that threatened to hammer him.

From what he could observe, the mechanical levers controlling the Brass knocker went into the roof and their origin could not be seen.
