Twenty minutes later, I stopped in front of the gate.
It is the only way to get out of the compound and need a key, which I don't have.
The cultist has the key; they are the only ones who enter and exit this compound, and they only come when you bring new people, or take those, who have been completely sucked away.
They have taken away people a few months ago and the closest one, who is nearly being sucked away, is seventh months away.
So, it would be said, that if I am lucky, I have seven months to escape and unlucky. Then the cultists might come tomorrow, bringing the new bodies to suck out their true essence.
If I want to open the door, I will have to break it the old-fashioned, but before, that I have to get the formation.
