Chapter 234 Images

After another indiscriminate bombardment, the passage into the main tomb was revealed to the members of the "Mechanical Heart".

The ground is full of debris, and another diamond-shaped Extraordinary characteristic that reflects a human face lies quietly at the bottom of the right wall, complementing the other two glowing objects.

There were potholes in the entire corridor, including the walls on both sides and the top stone slab, but one thing was intact.

It is a picture frame hanging seven or eight meters away in front of it. It is brownish yellow in color and has obvious wood texture, and only the side is exposed for the time being.

No need to be reminded, all Extraordinary people present saw its weirdness.

At this moment, Horamick Haydn, Archbishop of the Church of Steam and Machinery, who had not made any major moves, stepped forward and said softly:

"It should be the 'ghost picture frame' belonging to the Amon family in the data records. As long as you walk into its scope and be reflected by it, the spirit body will instantly leave the flesh and blood, become a portrait, and be sealed in it forever , In such a state, even if the portrait is replaced, there is no corresponding method, and it cannot be rescued.

"If you have been sealed for too long and your body is already dead, even if you master the correct way to lift the seal, your spirit will dissipate very quickly."

While speaking, Horamick walked forward step by step, approaching the strange picture frame.

Klein was subconsciously worried and didn't dare to watch the specific process of demigods fighting against the sealed item, but he quickly came to his senses. He was just looking at the holographic image provided by the magic mirror Arrods. What is there to be afraid of?

It's normal, it's normal, it's the same as the immediate feeling of watching horror movies or playing dark games... Klein explained to himself, quickened his pace, and followed Horamick Haydn.

The half-god and half-human archbishop quickly walked within the range of the mystical item that needed to be sealed. His figure in a white priest's robe and a cleric's soft hat was gradually reflected in the glass on the surface of the picture frame.

Glass... There was glass in the Quaternary Epoch? It seems so, at least in the history of the Fifth Epoch, there has always been glass, and there is no mention of who invented it... Klein waited with great interest for the "battle" between the demigod and the strange sealed item.

Horamick's upper body was fully displayed in the "ghost frame", but his eyes did not lose their brilliance!

He walked towards the frame facing each other.

The figure in the frame fluctuated, as if it had been shrinking inward, but it couldn't succeed.

Horamick stopped, and took out a large piece of black cloth that was prepared a long time ago, which was almost opaque, and covered the "ghost picture frame".

The frame trembled a few times, but was finally completely covered by the black cloth and returned to calm.

Horamick didn't seem to be affected in any way, and easily took off the "ghost picture frame", wrapped it with black cloth, and tied a knot behind it.

This... This is not mysticism... Didn't it say that it would absorb the spirit body into the frame and turn it into a portrait? Why is there nothing wrong with the Archbishop... Is this something special about demigods, or is there another reason? Klein was puzzled for a while, and looked up and down Horamick Haydn, but found nothing unusual.

His eyes were bright, his expression was kind, and he was full of flesh and blood... It's a pity that he wasn't at the scene, otherwise he could use Spirit Vision to study it... Klein looked away and waited for Ikanser and other "Mechanical Heart" members to come over.

Horamick handed the "ghost picture frame" to a team member, and walked forward by himself, towards the entrance of the main tomb at the end of the corridor.

There is a black stone door full of patterns like cutting and cutting, with a gray-white disc inlaid in the middle.

The surface of the disk is divided into twelve grids, and there is a black pointer, just like an external clock.

However, those grids did not evenly distribute the disk surface, there were large and small, extremely uncoordinated, and half of each grid was smeared with shadows.

"The coat of arms of the Amon family." Archbishop Horamick briefly introduced.

He did not specifically explain the symbolic meaning of the coat of arms, because only the deacon-level Ikanser Bernard is qualified to know.

Klein relied on his accumulation of mysticism to try to interpret it:

"The combination of discs, twelve grids, and hands clearly represents time,

It is consistent with the fact that Amon’s clone left behind the ‘Worm of Time’. The size of the twelve grids that should have been evenly divided into disks varies in size, and they are shrouded in a certain shadow. Does it mean that the Amon family is the dark side of time? Where is their title of 'blasphemer' reflected? "

While Klein was thinking, Archbishop Horamick pushed open the stone door without any protection.

The heavy stone door was opened at the back, revealing an extremely spacious tomb.

In the center of the tomb is a high platform, on which a dark black coffin is placed.

There are iron-colored lamp stands on the surrounding walls, holding white candles that are still burning quietly.

All the candles are not flickering, and they seem to be just a frozen picture quietly, without any traces of one or two thousand years of erosion.

On the straight line from the stone gate to the coffin, corpses fell one after another. They were either wearing black woolen overcoats and half-height silk top hats, or they were dressed as ordinary workers with peaked caps. People who get in here.

The group of Beyonders who recruited helpers before? How did they get through the front area? The human-skinned phantom and other monsters are obviously still alive... Klein stared at the corpses with his mind full of doubts.

Seeing this, he was suddenly a little scared.

Those corpses all had thinning white hair, dry and wrinkled skin, and obvious markings, like eighty or ninety-year-olds.

There were no obvious wounds on their bodies, and they seemed to be alive and dead, and they had just died not long before they had time to rot.

Obviously, there will not be so many aged Extraordinary people who come to explore the tomb. Even if the people here are found to be old, they will try their best to choose young and strong people when recruiting helpers... There is something weird here! Klein frowned slightly and looked around again.

He quickly thought of the "Insect of Time" left by Amon's clone, and the Amon family crest with the time meaning on the stone gate.

Is it one of the extraordinary abilities of the Amon family to make people age quickly? The dark side of time... the loophole of time... Could it be that while making others age quickly, members of the Amon family will regain their youth and gain a longer life? Wait, these Extraordinary people came here with ease, maybe the owner of the tomb deliberately indulged, he wanted to plunder other people's time to maintain his own existence... Klein looked speculatively at the black coffin on the high platform.

At this time, Horamick Haydn, a strong demigod, raised his left hand, pressed down and said:

"You stop here."

"Yes, Your Excellency the Archbishop." Ikanser and the others replied without hesitation.

As members of the official organization, they have all read a large number of files of extraordinary events, and they know that in similar situations, they must absolutely obey the will of the high-sequence beings, and must not make arbitrary claims or act forcefully, otherwise they will not know how they will die .

Horamick looked forward, and his eyes stopped on an upside-down picture frame at the bottom of the high platform.

He took a step forward without changing his expression, walking forward at a leisurely pace.

No preparation at all? The characteristic of demigods and demigods is "reckless"? Klein was quite astonished.

He seemed to be able to imagine Horamick's tooth loss, gray hair withered, skin dry and wrinkled, and rapidly aging.

One step, two steps, three steps, the originally normal Horamick suddenly trembled, and there was a sharp grinding sound coming out of his body.

His gait began to slow, his movements stiffened, and his skin visibly dried out.

This is a bit wrong...it's not the age of a normal human being...what's the matter with the rubbing sound just now? Klein murmured in his heart.

Four steps, five steps, six steps, there was a tearing sound from Horamick's body, and something fell to the ground with a bang.

Klein looked subconsciously and saw a gear.

Rusty gears!

Horamick continued to move forward, and things fell from his body from time to time, including rusty screws, melted wax blocks, yellowed bones, and loose springs... His figure became thinner and thinner, wobbly, and at any time may disintegrate.

This is just like a robot... Uh, using the terminology of this era, it's like a living doll... Klein suddenly realized something.

He remembered that Old Neil said before his death that the Sequence 4 of the Church of the Mother Earth is good at "life refining", and the sequence corresponding to the "Generalist" path can barely do it.

And Horamick is a high-sequence powerhouse of the "generalist" path!

The Horamick in front of me is not the real him, but a refined puppet. The reason why the "ghost frame" was invalid just now is because the puppet has no spirit body at all! The real Horamick should still be hanging far away... As expected of a demigod... When Klein was stunned, the archbishop walked to the high platform, bent his knees, bent his back, and turned the upside-down picture frame over come over.

Normally, when exploring a mausoleum with extraordinary factors, one should avoid bringing similar items to the front, but Horamick made the opposite choice this time.

As the picture frame was turned over, a wind suddenly blew in the closed mausoleum, blowing away the invisible confinement and silence.

The candles on the iron-colored lamp stand burned quickly and became extremely bright, but they soon came to the end of their life and melted away.

The old corpses on the ground were rapidly decomposing, emitting a stench.

In just a few seconds, the main tomb room became dark, with only the lanterns carried by the members of "Mechanical Heart" barely illuminating the front.

Horamick picked up the picture frame on the ground, and wobbled up the stairs to the high platform.

He came to the black coffin, stretched out his right palm, and pushed hard.

Creaking, amidst the sound of rubbing, a crack appeared in the heavy coffin lid, as if it hadn't been nailed on at all.

Horamick glanced down, and said with the same voice:

"There are no bodies."

The picture then zoomed in, and Klein saw that the inside of the coffin was empty, with only a layer of light golden cushion on the bottom, and a worm with twelve rings was embroidered on the cushion.

At this moment, Horamick turned around, and the picture frame in his hand was reflected in the eyes of Ikanser and the others.

After just a glance, Klein's eyes suddenly froze.

It was a portrait of a young man with a smile on his lips.

He has dark eyes and black curly hair.

He has a broad forehead and a thin face.

He wears a crystal monocle.

He wears a black bonnet.

Amon!
