Deep Sea Embers Chapter 170: Loose
After a long time, Fanna looked away from the car window.
The main purpose of her visit today was to investigate the chapel, but after entering the sixth block, she realized that the atmosphere in the entire area was not normal, which made her vaguely feel... Every inch of the corner needs to be investigated.
After pondering for a while, she reached out and picked up the thick stack of documents on the seat next to her.
This is the file she asked for from the city hall before the operation - using the authority of the Inquisitor and the relevant provisions of the "Special Execution Regulations for Anomalous Events", she has obtained all the relevant information in the past few years. She had already read some of the municipal records related to the sixth block on the way here.
These documents from City Hall are not top-secret documents, nor do they involve any high-profile extraordinary events or suspense or eucalyptus. On the contrary, these are the simplest and most basic things that Fanna wants to come here.
Gas meter records, electricity bill payment, shop tax, water supply, heating, garbage disposal, security patrols...
The pages were flipped, and Fanna's eyes quickly swept between the documents.
If the past few years of the judge's life have given her what kind of "experience in handling cases", then one of them is absolutely crucial-
There are often clues of extraordinary visions hidden in the most ordinary daily life.
The boundless sea surrounds the world, and the world is full of anomalies and visions. Under the eyes of these threats to all living beings, the peaceful "daily life" in the city-state is the greatest treasure in this world. Ordinary people in Prand may have made peace. It is the most ordinary thing, but those warriors who have been fighting against anomalies and visions all the year round are very clear-
A ray of sunshine in the morning, a hot meal on the table, a hawker on the street, and a good night before going to bed, these are all continuous miracles.
It's a splendid view that mortals have built over 10,000 years in this crumbling world.
Any intrusion of an extraordinary vision will leave scratches on this stunning scene.
"Have you noticed anything wrong?" The voice of the guard who was driving came from the front of the car. The young church soldier noticed Fanna's slightly frowning brow, "Municipal files are missing" /
"On the contrary, all the municipal files are complete," Fanna shook her head gently. "The records of water, electricity, heating and sewage are all there, and they are maintained at a very balanced value, which is very reasonable."
"Then your expression..."
"There is no security case," Fanna raised her eyelids slightly. "The security case is blank. In addition, the records of newborns are also blank, and the death records of residents are also blank."
The guard driving the car opened his eyes slightly, and in the rearview mirror, Fanna could see the incredible expression on the young man's face.
"Obviously abnormal, isn't it," Fanna said softly, "in a block, for so many years, the population has not increased or decreased, and there has not been any public security incident, not even a fight. The security in the upper city is the best. No place can do it to this extent, but all the water, electricity and heating records are there, and it feels like..."
She paused and looked out of the window: "It's as if all the inhabitants here are a bunch of tame phantoms... They live quietly in this enclosed place, neither increasing nor decreasing, with no interior Conflicts, there is no external communication, just a normal 'resource consumption' quietly, and a signal to the city hall that 'everything is business as usual here,' is reported to the city hall on a regular basis. However, the situation is obviously so wrong, but no one has paid attention to it for so many years."
The inside of the car was quiet, only the dull sound of the steam core running. After an unknown period of time, Fanna suddenly felt the body shake.
"The chapel has arrived."
Fanna raised her head and saw that outside the car window was the community church that had disappeared from the "sight" of the cathedral at some point.
From the outside, it appears to have been abandoned for more than ten years.
This is the location that the terrifying ghost captain pointed out to him.
Fanna couldn't help but reappeared in the mind of the burning ghost flames, and the gloomy and majestic figure that was always frozen in the center of her field of vision. The next second, she immediately took a breath and whispered to the storm goddess Ge Mona's holy name, pick up the weapon, push the door and get out of the car.
A bleak and cold wind blew from the end of the street and rolled up the dry leaves by the roadside. The guards in black followed the Inquisitor and cautiously approached the abandoned chapel.
When the fallen leaves stepped underfoot, there was a slight cracking sound that sounded like a fire burning dead wood, crackling.
A sound of flapping wings suddenly came from overhead, Fanna raised her head amid the flying leaves, and saw a white dove fluttering down on the church spire.
The pigeon tilted its head and seemed curious to watch the guards who were moving around.
"Dove... is it a good omen for calm and peaceful..." Fanna suddenly thought of this strange thought for some reason, then ignored the suddenly flying pigeon, and stepped forward and gently pushed open the chapel Sheltered door.
The warm and bright light came into her eyes, and a nun with a gentle smile appeared before her.
"Hello, sister, no one has come to this church for a long time..."
The gentle voice of the nun reached the ears of the guardian warriors.
……
One after another gas lamps are neatly arranged between the bookshelves. The bright lights dispel the shadows between these ancient files. The slightly heavy and slow footsteps echo between the bookshelves, and there are old priests in the middle. A low grunt:
"Seven rows and six columns, seven rows and six columns... The record in 1885 should be here... should be here..."
The old priest stopped in front of the bookshelf. He raised his head and saw that the giant-like bookshelf was quietly looking down at him. of bones and flesh.
His eyes fell on several of the archives, and he slowly extended his hand forward.
There is a slightly rusty rubbing sound from the mechanical prosthesis made of brass.
"Finally found it!" The old priest's eyes suddenly glowed with brilliance, and his tone was filled with undisguised excitement, "It's actually hidden here... I searched with Inquisitor Fanna for so long before!"
His fingers touched the books.
Heavy, slow footsteps echoed between the bookshelves, mixed with the old priest's low mumble "Seven rows and six rows, seven rows and six rows..."
"I finally found it!" The old priest's eyes suddenly glowed, and he stretched out his hand to the files, and the mechanical prosthesis made of brass heard a rusty creaking sound, "It's actually hidden here, obviously I've been looking for so long with the Inquisitor!]
His fingers are about to touch the books.
Heavy, slow footsteps echo between the bookshelves.
……
The old priest stopped suddenly.
He raised his head, and his neck was as stiff as rust. He quietly stared at the huge bookshelves in front of him, and saw gas lamps burning between the bookshelves one after another, and columns depicting the patterns of ocean waves. He stood quietly among the bookshelves.
The soft sound of the waves suddenly resounded in my heart, making the old man's somewhat chaotic mind suddenly sober up.
Is the protection of the archives activated? Who activated it? Why activated it? Is it me?
The old priest was agitated, suddenly instinctively raised his hand and touched the large-caliber revolver around his waist, and in the next second, he noticed the strangeness on his body.
The originally flexible arms became so stiff and heavy at some point, and the screeching sound of the parts rubbing sounded like a pile of scrap metal that had been abandoned for many years, crushing each other.
He looked in amazement at his mechanical prosthetic limb made of brass, but what he saw was a rusted arm, patina and filthy liquid seeping from the metal seams soaked the entire limb, As his gaze continued to move down, what he saw was a ragged shirt and his left leg that was constantly oozing black oil.
It seems that I have been traveling in this archive for several years~IndoMTL.com~ The old priest stared blankly at the traces left on his body, the dusty memory finally came to an end at this moment Loosen, he suddenly remembered many things, many distant things that seemed to have happened in his previous life--the visit of the judge, the investigation materials, the bizarre records of heresy worship, the year of disappearance...
Then the Inquisitor left the Archives, where he stayed, continuing to search for the missing 1885 record...
The soft sound of the waves sounded again, a little more pronounced than before, but it still seemed to be separated by a thick curtain, as if it came from another time and space.
But it was the sound of the distant, ethereal waves that suddenly made the old priest's mind clearer than before. With the loosening of his memory, his reason and judgment were also returning rapidly. The next second, he was conscious. to what might happen.
A giant vision - not some anomaly, not some malicious supernatural being, not a mastermind or a supernatural phenomenon, but a giant vision!
The city-state of Perand is at the center of a giant vision!
"Broken"
The old priest exclaimed, turned around and dragged his body that was no longer flexible and ran to his post.
The next second, he stopped abruptly.
A strange black figure appeared in the archives at an unknown time.
In this closed room, the eerie figure is holding a large black umbrella - as if to block the ubiquitous sunlight.
