This historic monastery in front of you combines many ancient elements, giving people the feeling of a dilapidated temple.
Yi Chen still kept his vision fully open, examining the individual in yellow clothes, who was suspected to be a surveillance agent.
Thinking back to the books I had read in Zion, there were very few records about this kind of group. The organization simply disclosed the nickname and related responsibilities of this special gentleman.
Later, I got some more detailed information from Teacher Zed.
According to Zed, if his eyes had not been damaged, he might have become one of the watchers.
Tunnel-Watcher
A type of high-ranking gentleman who has received special training in Zion and is good at handling incidents alone.
They tend to be more loners, unwilling to stay in the city and get along with others, preferring activities outside the city, or even spending a long time in the thin gray area to carry out their daily lives.
This habit may be related to the scenes of the old world they saw when they broke through the "limits of human beings".
Due to their unique talents, during the breakthrough period, the consciousness body completely sinks into the old world, causing the body and soul to transform in the process, and the thinking level also becomes inclined towards the patient.
But they have not essentially betrayed humanity and the organization. They have maintained their proper gentlemanly qualities, and have moved around the organization's various strongholds, always keeping in touch with Zion.
Once a new passage is discovered, the nearest personnel will be assigned a "surveillance mission" and rush to the passage entrance as soon as possible.
It is rumored that the monitor can feed on the old world's energy escaping from the entrance of the passage, and kill any sick people who try to approach the passage to ensure the stability of the passage.
One person can maintain the stability of the new student channel for nearly a hundred days.
The most important point,
Thanks to the efforts of the channel monitors, the new gentleman has the opportunity to access the channel and go to the surface of the old world to search for relics without considering other factors.
Before breaking through, gaining personal experience in the old world can greatly increase the success rate and depth of the limit breakthrough.
In front of me,
With the combined vision of Yi Chen and Xiao Putao, they found nothing unusual about the yellow-clothed monitor. They could only sense an invisible aura of a strong man.
Following the monk-like gentleman, as we entered the gate of the monastery,
A statue of the Virgin Mary holding the Holy Grail stands in the center, about three times the size of a normal human body, with its head completely covered by a flesh-colored leather blanket with an unknown seal engraved on the surface.
In the main hall area, the dome supported by stone pillars is engraved with reliefs of the sun, moon and stars.
Although this monastery was built inside the mountain, with the help of such reliefs, it seems that the people here can always maintain contact with the universe.
The words of the Watcher came:
“Even I don’t fully understand the origins of this monastery... It has a history of at least two hundred years.
The monastery shortens the distance between our world and the old world. As the gray fluid gradually overflows from the walls and the ground, passages are created. "
The watcher waved his hand.
The leather blanket covering the statue's head then slipped off, revealing a horrifying and strange scene in Yi Chen's eyes.
The so-called channel,
In the face of the Virgin,
Occupying more than 90% of the face, the nested layers of flesh wall structure seem to move regularly with the statue's breathing.
Thick gray matter and facial channels overflowed like fluids, and after only a few seconds of exposure, the monastery was filled with gray, and the walls and the ground seemed to come alive.
Wow!
The gentleman in yellow raised his hand and shot out a yellow leather blanket to cover his face, and everything returned to normal.
"It seems your teammates haven't caught up yet?"
"Yes, we were affected by the eye syndrome during the climb and were forced to separate... However, with their abilities, they should be able to find this place."
"No wonder you found this place so quickly, it turns out you chose the nearest hiking route. The fact that you can see through the illusion and find this place means you are qualified to go to the 'Old World'.
Give your teammates one more day. If they fail to arrive, you will have to enter the passage alone.
Come with me first."
Under the guidance of the supervisor,
Go around the main hall of the monastery and through the corridor to reach the living area at the back of the monastery, where there are several rooms for former teachers to rest.
There is nothing but dust.
A hard stone bed, a simple desk and a stone window the size of a head.
"I have cleaned up the monastery. You can rest here without worry, get rid of your fatigue and discomfort, and prepare for the upcoming journey to the old world."
"Thanks."
The observer did not stay long. After a flash of yellow shadow, he returned to the main hall and continued his surveillance work.
Yi Chen also watched the yellow figure disappear completely before returning to the room temporarily arranged for him.
The wooden door lock of the room has long been broken.
Yi Chen put his palm against the door panel, creaking. A large number of roots reinforced the old wooden door and made a fully enclosed plant door lock to isolate the inside and outside.
The windows were also completely sealed with plants using the same method.
After cleaning the dust off the bed,
The suitcase was placed at the head of the bed, and Yi Chen sat down on the stone bed.
The tense nerves finally relaxed, sweat continued to overflow from the forehead, and the black hair on the eyeballs gradually disappeared.
The little grape separated from the brain and reappeared on the shoulder.
"I told you, this kind of deep visual fusion with me will multiply the burden on your brain..."
Yi Chen didn't care about such brain fatigue at all, instead he seemed very excited.
"No~ It only takes a few more times to get used to it! This visual experience that can take in more details and more light is really comfortable... Let me rest for a while, and then we will continue to maintain the previous state of connection."
Wisps of white smoke overflowed from the head, and the book emblem on the back of the head flipped rapidly, speeding up the recovery of the tired brain.
Little Grape asked in confusion, "Isn't it safe? There is a monitor here, and the patients in the mountains dare not get close. Why do we need visual fusion
Wouldn't it be nice for both of us to have a good night's rest, and get ready for our upcoming journey into the Old World?"
Yi Chen had no intention of taking a rest.
He placed his hands behind his back and tilted his head back to look at the top of the room. "Little Grape, do you really think it's so easy to reach the passage?"
"How is it easy? Our combined vision has discovered a hidden wall... If we hadn't found it, we would still be trapped in the mountain path, climbing like headless flies."
"Is there a possibility that my accidental discovery of the stone creature's 'peeping' and the discovery of the hidden wall were all deliberately guided by the other party
True illusions are not all false,
This kind of true and false illusion can make it easier for individuals to fall into it, or even believe it.
Of course, this is still my guess.
It is indeed possible that we have found the passage and the gentleman in yellow is indeed the observer, after all, our vision did not detect anything unusual.
Before you are 100% sure it is safe, you must be on guard.
Next, we will pretend that everything is normal and pretend to rest in the monastery... If there is really a problem here, it will most likely come to us tonight."
"I'll do as you say."
For the rest of the day, Yi Chen pretended to be leisurely and strolled around the monastery, trying his best to scan every corner with his eyes without missing any details.
Still no problems were found, and everything was normal in this historic mountain monastery under the management of the monitor.
The observer himself also stayed in front of the statue of the Virgin Mary.
It can even be clearly seen that a small amount of gray matter left from the Virgin Mary's head is absorbed into the body by the observer as "food", which is consistent with the rumors.
After a brief stroll, Yi Chen returned to his room honestly, checked the doors and windows blocked by plants again, and fell asleep.
The gentleman's suit also cooperated very well and switched to "sleep mode", turning into a fully enclosed sleeping bag that wrapped Yi Chen in it.
It's late at night and everyone is asleep.
Under the door panel that was supposed to be blocked by plants, a yellow strip of cloth spread out...
