Chapter 25: Stored in memory

Views:

Heidi ran to Vanna breathlessly. When the guards nearby saw her approaching, they subconsciously wanted to step forward to stop her, but they soon recognized that this disheveled and dusty lady was a senior advisor to the city hall and the church, so they immediately let her pass.

"You are leading the team yourself," Heidi looked at the fully armed Vanna in surprise, and then glanced at the church leader behind her, "And you brought so many people with you?"

"A fire in a museum is not an ordinary situation," Vanna said briefly, and then looked Heidi up and down.

After confirming that her friend was fine several times, she heaved a sigh of relief, "It looks like your vacation is ruined." "It's ruined again!" Heidi said with a sad and resigned face, "Why am I always so unlucky... ah, it hurts..."

Vanna noticed the unique big bump on Heidi's head and walked over to her and casually touched her wound with her fingers.

At the same time, he looked in the direction where Heidi had just run from, frowning slightly: "Did you just escape?"

"I was rescued... Phew, I feel much better..." Feeling the pain on her forehead gradually subside, Heidi's attention gradually focused. Then she was stunned for a moment, as if she suddenly remembered something, and then she quickly looked around, and then suddenly moved closer to Vanna, "I need a quiet and blessed environment, preferably in a church.

Seeing her friend's sudden serious expression, Vanna reacted quickly. She didn't ask anything, but turned around and instructed the priests she brought with her: "Take over the order on the scene, seal off the museum, and raise the pollution level to the spiritual world level...

Before she finished her words, she heard Heidi speak in a low and hurried voice: "Deep Level."

"Adjust to the Deep Level and expel all ordinary people within 200 meters of the square!" Fanna was shocked and immediately gave the order. Then she turned to the short-bearded local priest and said, "Take us to the nearest church. We need a separate prayer room. Prepare the No. 16 incense."

The priest who had just escaped from the fire immediately lowered his head and said, "Yes, please follow me. It's near the square.

Vanna took Heidi and quickly left the square, and took a car with the pastor who led the way to the community church near the square. Before arriving at the church, Vanna noticed that Heidi's face began to turn abnormally red.

"What's going on?" Vanna frowned and touched Heidi's forehead. The high temperature she touched made her tone change instantly, "Why is it so hot?!"

"I may have come into contact with something in the museum," Heidi said quickly, "I used self-hypnosis to block some information deep in my memory. The hypnosis effect just ended... I am gradually recalling it. Listening to Heidi's story, Vanna's eyes widened slightly, and she quickly made a judgment in her heart -

Severe supernatural pollution can have an impact on the real world simply by cognition.

"Stop recalling and slow down your thinking," Vanna stretched out her hand and pressed Heidi's shoulder. "Look into my eyes and shift your attention elsewhere! If it doesn't work, hypnotize yourself again!"

"I'll try." Heidi took a deep breath. She looked into Vanna's eyes, which were as deep and calm as the ocean. She tried to control the memories that were gradually emerging in her mind. She tried not to recall the magnificent and solemn stream of fire, the sea of fire that was gushing and rolling in the dark and empty space. But the memories were still seeping out bit by bit.

It was like blood oozing out of a wound, and it couldn't be stopped.

But suddenly, a slight chill came from her chest, which made Heidi, who felt that she was about to be swallowed by the flames, suddenly sober up a lot.

She subconsciously looked down and saw that the glass "crystal pendant" that could only be given as a gift in antique shops in the downtown area was glowing slightly on her chest.

That tiny bit of light was almost imperceptible to the naked eye, but it was like an anchor firmly rooted in the real world, pulling her spirit back from the brink of dissipation.

The next second, she heard the pastor's voice coming from the front: "We are at the church!"

Under the personal escort of Vanna, the powerful saint, Heidi was quickly sent to the church. Thanks to the psychic communication sent by the pastor to the church in advance, a prayer room had been prepared and incense with powerful soothing and protective effects had been lit.

In the faint smoke of incense, the statue of the storm goddess Gemona quietly looked down at Heidi and Vanna who hurried into the room.

The priest was left outside the prayer room - because he might not be able to withstand the divine defilement that might follow.

dye.

As Heidi stepped into the prayer room, Vanna heard the illusory sound of waves ringing in her ears, and a feeling of being directly watched by the supreme great being swept through her soul. Then, all the candles in the church began to burn fiercely, and the blazing flames were mixed with crackling explosions!

She looked up at the statue of the Storm Goddess and saw that the statue suddenly seemed distant and majestic. An indescribable aura of majesty was emanating from the statue and gradually focused on Heidi.

"The Lord is watching..." The vision in the prayer room startled Vanna, but she heaved a sigh of relief immediately.

She looked at Heidi and noticed that the blush on her face was gradually fading. "You are safe now. Release your memory.

Let us see what you saw.”

Heidi didn't say anything, just nodded slightly, and then took off one of her earrings. There was a small deforming mechanism at the end of the earring. She pressed the mechanism with her fingernails, and a sharp spike only a few millimeters long popped out of the earring.

Without hesitation, she tightly grasped the earring that had popped out its spikes, letting the blood seep out of her palm.

This was the deepest spiritual hint she had imprinted on herself when she first entered the profession as a divine doctor—when the platinum spike pierced the heart of the student, all the unclean things sealed in the memory would be released.

The next second, the illusory and overlapping sound of the waves in the prayer room suddenly became extremely obvious, and all the burning candles became dim and swaying. The whole room seemed to be covered with a layer of swaying, hazy veil. The layers of veil swayed around the statue of the goddess, reflecting the phantom of the hazy lake -

That was a scene that Heidi had urgently sealed in her memory.

That was just a fleeting glimpse of the truth.

Vanna saw in the swaying veil of illusion what Heidi had seen:

In the pitch-black void, a stream of flames gushed up into the sky. It was more blazing than any other flame in the world, and more thrilling than any great power created by humans. It was like a huge wave of flames that swept across and devoured everything. Even a saint like Vanna suddenly tensed all her muscles when she saw it!

How far did the flame burst out in the darkness? Hundreds of thousands of kilometers? Millions of kilometers? Or even farther? What was that? Was it pure flame? Or was it some force more primitive than flame, capable of touching the eternal truth

quantity

Fanna held her breath without knowing when. She watched the flame rise in the darkness, and then watched it gradually fall. The surging flames were like a sticky paste, forming magnificent and irregular arcs in the dark void. She was unable to react for a long time until the illusion gradually dissipated and the illusory sound of the waves around her gradually subsided.

After an unknown amount of time, she suddenly felt as if the sea breeze was moistening her mind. The gentle comfort of the Storm Goddess woke her up. She looked at Heidi, only to find that Heidi was also looking at her in astonishment.

"Is this... what you see in museums?"

"Maybe... right..." Heidi felt her heart pounding. Although this was a picture extracted from her own memory, it was still beyond her imagination due to the effect of self-hypnosis. "But this thing... doesn't look like a "collection" that can be placed in a museum."

"This can't be a 'collection'," Vanna said quickly, "Even though I have no way of judging its size, I know intuitively that it can't be kept in any building... You can't see it in the real world.

Heidi was stunned for a moment, frowning tightly. After a long while, she spoke uncertainly: "I may have seen it in a coma... and I hypnotized myself in a coma. What I saw may not be its entity or body, but its "projection" at the divine level."

"Are you sure?" Vanna looked at him, "I'm not questioning your ability as a divine doctor. It's not easy to complete a temporary containment seal on divine pollution while you're unconscious.

"I am confident," Heidi nodded slowly and firmly. "I have received rigorous training in this area at the Academy of Truth. I can contain dangerous information with my subconscious mind when my main consciousness is out of control. However, since self-hypnosis in this situation is uncontrollable, it will cause me to forget a lot of key information. So I can't tell you what the specific situation was when I saw this "projection", and I don't know what the opportunity or medium for seeing it was.

...Okay, I believe in your professionalism," Vanna stared at Heidi for a while, then she let out a sigh, "It seems... you really saw something incredible.
