Chapter 104 Note



Looking at the quill and parchment handed to her by the gravekeeper, Vanna took a deep breath and quickly calmed herself down.

"How long can I go in there?" She raised her head and stared at the nameless gravekeeper.

The gravekeeper lowered his head slightly. This being who possessed both life and death seemed to carefully judge the strength of the soul in front of him and gave a cold answer: "A moment, or eternity."

This answer means that the message to be conveyed from the tomb will be brief and single, but may point to a very, very dangerous "source" and the listener may die.

Vanna nodded slightly and turned her gaze away from the gravekeeper.

She walked towards the huge mausoleum not far away, and the gravekeeper followed behind her. The rotten and dark iron chains dragged on the ground, making a harsh and sharp noise, and the dark shadows gathered in the square just watched quietly, watching a chosen saint go to the mausoleum.

Fanna stopped in front of the gate of the mausoleum. She looked up at the towering pale stone gate. The ancient and desolate atmosphere conveyed by the gate touched her heart slightly.

It was not the first time she had seen the mausoleum at a psychic gathering, but it was the first time she was chosen to enter the mausoleum as a "listener."

Vision 004 - "Tomb of the Unknown King" - This ancient mausoleum located in a strange space-time rift is not a vision controlled by the Deep Sea Church, but an ancient object guarded and shared by various orthodox churches in turn. From the outside, it is a mausoleum with a strong style of the ancient Kingdom of Crete, and the existing evidence also shows that this mausoleum is indeed a legacy left by that ancient kingdom - but no one knows who built it, and no one knows why this ancient mausoleum turned into a "vision".

People only know that the owner of this tomb will convey some information to the outside world from time to time. The pollution carried in this information is enough to kill mortals in most cases, but on the other hand, this information is reliable and accurate enough to even directly reveal the "real intelligence" of some powerful anomalies and visions.

Whenever the owner of the tomb conveys a message to the outside, a "gravekeeper" will come out of the tomb and select the listener to enter the tomb. The gravekeeper himself is part of Vision 004. He has no name, is loyal to his duty, and keeps secrets. He will give priority to souls close to the gathering square, and if there are no souls around the square, he will randomly take away the chosen ones from all over the world.

In the days before people figured out the rules of Vision 004, such "random selection" had taken away hundreds of lives - until the appearance of a natural saint thousands of years ago, this terrible cycle was broken for the first time.

The saint returned alive from the Tomb of the Unknown King and announced to the world the first gift from the "Unknown King": the original list of anomalies and visions.

Everyone knows that the classification method and list of anomalies and visions is a gift left by the ancient Kingdom of Crete to future generations, but few people know that this gift actually flowed into the world in this way - the ancient kingdom left behind Vision 004, and Vision 004 successfully announced the initial list after thousands of failed selections.

After that, the major churches gradually mastered the method of actively approaching the tomb through psychic gatherings and sending saints to become "listeners", allowing this ancient vision to be used relatively safely by people.

"Enter the mausoleum and be prepared to listen." The gravekeeper's low and hoarse voice came from behind, and Vanna took a step forward.

The sound of the stone door gradually closing came from behind, and the breath of the gravekeeper also dissipated into the air at the same time - the ancient watcher became a part of the mausoleum again, and now, he was monitoring the every move of the souls entering the tomb through invisible perception.

Pale flames burned on both sides of the corridor leading to the tomb. Fanna walked along the path illuminated by the flames towards the depths of the tomb. Her eyes swept across the walls on both sides. On the walls made of huge stones, she could vaguely see "lines" that seemed to have been scratched out with fingernails.

〖Go straight forward and don't look back.

Do not ask the grave keeper about the identity and name of the tomb owner.

No running, no shouting, no praying to any gods.

Be humble and respectful, but do not kneel down.

After entering the tomb, you must not speak.

That is the record left by countless "listeners" in the countless years of the past - in ancient times, most of the listeners died in this tomb passage, and one percent or even one thousandth of them might be strong enough to leave these "instructions" to warn future generations before they die.

These precious "instructions" have now been written into the scriptures of major churches for training saints. Vanna knows them by heart and dares not forget a single word.

But at this moment, Vanna suddenly became curious again - she had heard that there were instructions left by the ancestors in this tomb passage, but she didn't expect that there were only these instructions here. What about those hysterical people, those who fell into madness, those who lost hope in despair and begged desperately or even destroyed madly? Didn't they leave any traces in this tomb passage?

Human nature is complicated. Before the major churches successfully controlled Vision 004, the gravekeepers had brought hundreds of people here. Among those people, there must have been people who had mental breakdowns, people who complained about everything, and people who inevitably left crazy words and even curses on the walls of the tomb passage... But along the way, all Vanna saw were the encouragement and exhortations left by her ancestors, just like...

It seems that only those strong and noble souls are allowed to leave traces here.

Vanna was a little confused, but in the end she didn't call the gravekeeper to ask her questions.

Theoretically, she could talk to the gravekeeper in the tomb passage, which did not violate the "rules" of the mausoleum. The gravekeeper himself did have a record of responding to visitors and actively answering questions. But this was Vanna's first time entering here as a listener, and she was very cautious and did not dare to do anything unnecessary.

With her nerves tense, the young Inquisitor finally reached the end of the tomb passage - in the flickering light ahead, she could already see the "Tomb of the Unknown King" at the deepest part.

She stepped through the stone door at the end of the corridor.

A spacious and ancient tomb chamber appeared in her eyes.

Inside the huge pyramid-shaped room, the sloping pale stone walls on all four sides were engraved with unclear lines. There were two rows of dark brown metal braziers on both sides of the entrance. Pale flames burned in the braziers and hazy smoke rose. However, no coffin or the like could be seen in the center of the tomb - there was only a stone chair, and sitting on the chair was the owner of the tomb.

It was a headless body that looked like a tall man - its limbs were tightly bound with chains, and its arms and chest were covered with thick black hair like an animal. Its feet were deformed and twisted, like deformed animal limbs, and seemed to have been burned by flames, appearing charred and festering.

The body just sat quietly on the throne, seemingly without any reaction to Vanna's visit.

But Fanna remembered what she had learned. The moment she saw the "Unknown King", she took out her parchment and quill, and concentrated her mind to prepare for the upcoming mental pollution while preparing to record what she heard...

Vanna opened her eyes.

She saw herself lying flat on the ground of the assembly square. The distant and towering broken pillars connected the chaotic sky and the broken ground. Further away, groups of black shadows gathered.

Several dark figures were walking towards him, one of whom seemed to be Bishop Valentine.

"You're awake, leave now."

The gravekeeper's hoarse and low voice suddenly came from the side. Vanna raised her head with astonishment and difficulty, and found herself lying at the door of Vision 004. In the corner of her eye, she saw the tall gravekeeper turning around and walking into the stone gate of the mausoleum. Then there was a loud tremor - the huge mausoleum building sank rapidly beside her and disappeared into the ground of the square.

Before Vanna could react, several shadows came to her side. One of them spoke the voice of Bishop Valentine: "Vanna, are you okay? I saw you faint at the door after you walked out of the mausoleum..."

"I..." Vanna slowly supported her body, feeling as if all the strength in her body had been drained away. But now her strength was gradually returning, which gradually made her mind clear. "How long will I be in there for?"

"In a split second," the shadow of another saint beside him said in a deep voice, "you entered the gate, then the gate closed for a moment, and then you walked out again."

Vanna was stunned for a moment, and then she heard Bishop Valentine speak again: "Where is the parchment? Look at what you wrote?"

"Oh, oh yes, parchment!" Vanna finally woke up completely, and then felt that she was holding something in her hand. She quickly raised her hand, but the next second, her gaze froze.

For some reason, the intact parchment in her hand was only left with a few torn pieces of paper. On the small piece of paper, which was only a few centimeters long, there were only a few scribbled numbers and letters:

[Anomaly 099 - Doll]
