As he searched the room he felt a slight breeze from a stone wall and noticed the candle's fire was blowing in the other direction. As he checked the wall he realised it was quite fragile. After accidentally pushing a brick, he tore the wall down and found a dark dirt tunnel supported by wood beams. He couldn’t see where it led since it was pitch black. Meanwhile, he decided to take the longest candle he could find and went through the tunnel. He started thinking about Ben and whatever he’d been caught but he stopped thinking about it and decided to worry about his own survival.
Looking at the entrance of this tunnel, he didn't know what kind of things to expect but deep inside he was sure it was much safer to use this tunnel than to wait for his death in this haunted museum. Right after the first step, he felt that the floor was really sticky. It was some kind of black material mixed with dirt and gravel which made it really hard to move forward fast. After a few minutes of sluggish walk, his eyes noticed that the tunnel was getting thinner and thinner. The walls looked really fragile, with myriads of cracks through which the black liquid was seeping inside.
