White figures swayed in the streets of the city.

Their postures are blurred, but there is an indescribable horror.

Then came the singing from afar,

The alien bird with the human face sings:

"Listen to this distant tune,"

"The emperor who lies quietly in the ancient temple."

"Stand up and sing the song of valor and triumph."

"Listen to this distant tune,"

"Lost little boy on the riverbank."

"This is the voice of the earth welcoming you back."

"This shore is not your homeland,"

"Thou hast come to the bottom of Naraku,"

"The shipwreck breaks the cauldron and shatters the shackles of the ancestors......

- The bird, with the exact same face as you.

Endless nothingness oppresses.

A strange monster hiding in the dark, with a sea of corpses and bones scattered at its feet.

They smile and wave to you.

Blood red, clear yellow, emerald green, indigo.

The four stars that twinkle in the night sky take your power.

You can't and don't want to resist, so you fall into a deep sleep without desire.

But at this moment, the sound of water sounded from afar. At the bottom of the spring, there is a white light.

……

……

……

“————！”

Chu Ge suddenly woke up from his dream, sat on a chair and gasped for air.

The people in the classroom didn't know when it was gone, and the dim sunset shone obliquely on him.

"Whew...... It's never been before that you could fall asleep in such a place. ”

He patted his forehead, only to find a wet patch to the touch.

Not only his forehead, but his whole body was drenched in sweat.

"Oh, horrible dreams, weird birds like me or something."

He tugged at the corners of his mouth and showed an ugly smile, leaning weakly against the wall behind him, wiping the sweat beads from his face with a tissue,

"But what ......the hell is that white light?"

Recalling the last white light that appeared in the dream, Chu Ge's brows furrowed slightly.

I don't know if it's an illusion, but he always feels like he's seen that white light somewhere.

"Where the hell is it......

It was a very absurd thing to draw any conclusions from such a dream, which had no theoretical basis, and he shook his head, picked up his backpack, and walked outside.

“…… I need to prepare. ”

He pulled out his phone, glanced at the date on it, and put it back in.

Since he was twelve years old, he has not had the habit of celebrating his birthday, and of course, as the younger sister of the twins, Chu Wenxi has never mentioned this matter.

"Has it been so long, I didn't realize it in the past three years."

He pressed his thumb against his temple, picking up his pace.

*******

In a simply furnished study.

"Cousin, you're awake."

The Tang Dynasty came to its senses much earlier than Guy had expected.

Seeing the unfamiliar environment in front of her, her first reaction was not surprise, but subconsciously touched her eyes.

“……？”

Even though he didn't have special glasses and pills that hadn't been used, he could see everything in front of him clearly.

Although she still hadn't been able to sort out the messy information in her mind, after the break just now, she had roughly realized what was going on.

Of course, she is still far from knowing the meaning behind the title "Son of God".

After seeing Tang Chao's actions, the priest understood her thoughts and said:

"Your eyes can see with ease now, but only within this white tower."

Tang Chao was a little puzzled and asked:

"Scope...... Where is it? ”

The priest immediately explained:

"This room is the top floor of the White Tower of the Templar, the former residence of Lord Sylvia, and it has a power unimaginable to mere mortals, and it can keep your body in tip-top shape."

"Your eyes must have suffered some kind of curse, although the power of the curse has now dissipated, but it has left a serious disease, and our power cannot cure you in a short time, please forgive me."

"However, as long as you stay here for a long time, your stubborn diseases will be eliminated little by little, and your physical fitness will be significantly improved."

Seeing the priest's unhurried explanation, Tang Chao got up and sat up from the stone bed, and the discomfort in his body had long since disappeared.

"Thank you for your help," she said...... Excuse me, is there anything I need to do? ”

After hearing Tang Chao's question, Guy Priest's expression became more respectful, and he replied:

"Master Carloman said, if you are in any better shape, let me take you to the first floor of the White Tower to meet him, how do you feel now?"

"Then you'll have to work for you." Tang Chao lifted the thin quilt and left the stone bed, suddenly realizing that the clothes on his body were a little strange.

A black and white robe, but strangely not in terms of color and appearance, but in terms of the size of the garment.

Obviously, it's more than one size bigger, and the cuffs are fine, but the hem is exaggerated, and it drags on the ground like this.

"It's according to Master Carloman's arrangement, so there's no need to worry about it."

The priest saw Tang Chao's doubts, smiled and explained, and then walked to the door of the room and led the girl to the lower level of the White Tower.

Like the style of the study, the interior of the white tower is very plain, with a height of only three floors, and it is not conspicuous in the core area of the church buildings, but it is slightly more discreet.

"Master Carloman."

After bringing Tang Dynasty to the first floor of the White Tower, Gyro Guy bowed to Carloman, and then walked out through the main entrance of the White Tower.

Carloman stared at Tang Chao with his half-asleep gaze, and Tang Chao also quietly looked at the thin middle-aged man, and the sharp eyes didn't seem terrifying in her heart.

"Son of God......

After a moment, Kaloman lowered his head and muttered, as if asking a question to someone who had been gone for a long time.

"Korette Miko!"

After muttering, he suddenly shouted to Tang Chao, and then took out an artifact in the shape of a headdress from the ring.

"Yes......"

This scolding is nothing, but the coercion that Kaloman burst out in an instant is not at all something that ordinary people can bear, but what is surprising is that under the coercion of the legend, Tang Chao's face is just a little pale, and his voice is a little weaker, that's all.

At this time, Carloman also realized his gaffe, immediately restrained his breath, walked in front of Tang Chao, and handed her the headdress in the shape of a dragon's tooth crown:

"This is something that Lord Sylvia left you, take good care of it."

Tang Chao reached out and took the headdress, and she didn't feel anything other than the unimaginable lightness.

Its appearance is somewhat ordinary, with a white spar inlaid on its silver surface, which can easily be overlooked if you don't look closely.

"Don't worry, just put it on."

Just as she took the headdress and took a closer look, Carloman spoke again, motioning for her to put it on.

"Okay."

The Tang Dynasty put the dragon tooth crown on her head, and this weightless headdress unexpectedly fits, and the size seems to be specially customized for her.

After watching the girl easily complete this action, Karloman's eyes softened a little, and then he took out a strange key from the ring and put it in Tang Chao's hand:

"When I get out in a moment, you'll be the only one left in this white tower, and then you'll take this key back to the study on the top floor and open the other door."

Tang Chao held the stone key that looked like a beast's horn, and an inexplicable desire to explore was suddenly born in her heart, and there was a voice in her mind that kept urging her to return to the study, and for this reason, she couldn't help but raise her head and look at the spiral staircase.

"Remember, no matter what you see, don't hesitate, keep moving forward, remember everything you see, and if it's you, you'll be able to make it to the end."

Perhaps sensing the change in Tang Dynasty's heart, Carloman said with a solemn face, and then turned around and walked out of the White Tower.

"After you've completed your first mission, I'll arrange for you to move on to the next stage." Along with Carloman's voice, there was the gate of the White Tower.

"Mission ......"

Tang Chao's voice echoed in the empty white tower, and she glanced at the key in her hand and walked up the stairs.

When she returned to the study on the top floor, she suddenly noticed that there was an extra black arch in the east wall, and there was an irregular hole in the center of the door.

She thought about it for a moment, confirming that it was still empty when she had left.

If she walked outside the White Tower, she would find that the east wall of this study was directly connected to the outside world, and there was no access to anywhere at all.

As she approached the black door, the desire to explore grew stronger, and she pointed the key to the edge of the keyhole and inserted it tightly.

At the moment when the horn key was inserted, a dim silver moon suddenly appeared on the black door, and the edge of the black door also faintly flashed with purple-gold light, forming an indescribable symbol.

The light coming in from the west window began to dim gradually, as if all of them poured into the strange door, and after only a few seconds, only this fantastical arch was left in Tang Dynasty's sight, and everything around it fell into pitch black, even the floor under his feet lost its sense of reality.

I don't know why, when he saw this door appear, Tang Dynasty's heart suddenly began to beat rapidly, his breathing became heavy, and large tears rolled down from his eyes.

After the black door opened, Tang Chao immediately stepped in.

"Here?"

Behind the Black Gate was a pitch-black pool, and a small gondola floated on the shore.

Although the depth of the pool is not visible, it is not large at all, and if you swim past, I am afraid that you will not need even half a minute.

Tang Chao instinctively disgusted with the water, carefully stepped on the light and slender boat, and after standing firm, he reached out and grabbed the long paddle board.

The small boat, which was originally very difficult to maneuver, was successfully started by the Tang Dynasty after a little attempt, and it did not look like it was the first time to sit on it, and it shook steadily.

After reaching the other side of the pond by boat, a closed stone door appeared on the left side of the Tang Dynasty, while on the right side was a long staircase leading downward, the walls and ceiling of the staircase had been eroded by water, and there were strange stalactites all over it.

There was a faint and terrible cry behind the stone gate, and after a few seconds of pause, the Tang Dynasty went down the stalactite-staired staircase.

At the end of the staircase is an incredible space, both a natural cave and a man-made cavity.

The stalagmites that support the roof of the cave are arranged in such a regular way that it would be impossible to say that they were formed naturally, but the inner walls of the cave are silky like living creatures, and it is even more difficult to say that they are artificially constructed.

In the oval-shaped cave**, there are crystals growing on the wall, and there is a pit in the center of the ground, the mouth of the pit is in the shape of a perfect circle, and there is a staircase that continues to extend downward.

Tang Dynasty walked to the side of the hole, and the bottom of the loophole-like staircase could be seen at a glance, which was the end covered by the twinkling starlight.

She wiped the marks from the corners of her eyes and walked into the final staircase, the tears in her eyes stopping at this moment.

Once inside the stairs, darkness poured in from all directions, and the distant starlight disappeared, but the darkness seemed unable to erode her, and stopped four or five meters away from her.

The crown of dragon teeth on her head was like a bright lamp, illuminating this small area.

Although the end could be seen at the entrance, the staircase seemed surprisingly long, and from time to time new stone doors appeared, closing as tightly as the previous one, and a monstrous scream came from it.

After countless turns, Tang Dynasty finally came to the bottom of the labyrinth with a vortex structure, and the darkness around her also dissipated at this moment, and the white light made her eyes a little uncomfortable.

She rubbed her aching knees, raised her head and looked around:

"Silvery white ...... Austerity? ”

The starlight seen from above was actually a land of bright ice crystals, and its surface was as bright as a mirror.

Her figure was clearly reflected on the ice, and even the folds on her clothes were not ignored by the ice.

Tang Chao didn't feel strange about himself in the ice, after all, the person inside looked exactly the same as her in reality.

"Aren't you going to keep going...... There's no road left? Or am I on the wrong track? ”

She looked around, there was no other passage except for the stairs that came down, and just then, the white stone on the crown of the dragon's teeth suddenly fell off and fell on the ice.

After being hit by the stone, the ice surface was concave in this way, and on the various edges of the depression, the posture of the Tang Dynasty was completely different.

Beautiful, ugly, good, evil.

Past, future, living, dead.

All kinds of possibilities are reflected in this ice mirror.

The Tang Dynasty subconsciously took a step back, and the figure in the concave surface disappeared with it.

Crackling -

She turned her head and saw that one side of the wall had fallen off, and an entrance larger than all the stone doors before had appeared behind her.

And the wailing sound coming from inside is also unprecedentedly miserable!

On both sides of the entrance, the sun motif made of inlaid porcelain is decorated, showing the nobility of the owner's status.

Tang Chao hesitated for a moment, recalled Kaloman's words, picked up the fallen white stone, and then walked towards the entrance.

The road ahead was still pitch black, but with a difference, some strange aura permeated the passages like a miasma, stubbornly and brutally holding back intruders.

If Chu Ge were here, he would have noticed that these miasma and the malice of the ancient gods had the same fate, almost the same nature, and it was definitely not an ordinary level of malice!

Even if it is an extraordinary powerhouse, the moment it is contaminated with this malice, it will be completely degraded due to confusion, even if it is a legend, it will not be able to escape this level of malicious filth and become a member of the alienated.

However, when these miasma approached the Tang Dynasty, they immediately dissipated as if they had met an object of fear.

With each step forward in the Tang Dynasty, some of these miasma would dissipate and be eliminated little by little.

The walls of the surrounding passages have also revealed their original appearance, and they are carved with various murals.

In the mural, an abrupt and ugly trace immediately attracted the attention of the Tang Dynasty.

It was a long time ago text carved into it with a sharp blade, as if it were the last words left by a desperate traveler before he died.

【**********】

[In the first stone is destruction, in the second stone is eternity]

[The third stone is mutation, and the fourth stone is reincarnation]

[And in the fifth stone is the ability to be omniscient!] 】

[It has the power to visualize the past and the future, and the ancestor kept it in his hands and kept it hidden in the courtyard. 】

【**********】

The rest of the handwriting seems to have been deliberately scraped off by someone, but even if the full text remains, it is not of much use to the Tang Dynasty.

The words were written in the ancient Orlanka language, and she couldn't read a single word, so she had to rely on her own memory to memorize the symbols.

When she was done with all this, she continued to move on.

At the end of the passage, there is a vast cube of space.

The walls are decorated with geometric patterns, and the floor is framed with bonsai that form a miniature version of the world map.

Mountains made of agate, rivers and seas flowing with crystals,

Forests made of silver, cities carved with gold, etc.

Such a burial object is only done for the overwhelming power.

It's all so delicate that it's terrifying.

That's right, this is an ancient tomb, and the stone gates that the Tang Dynasty met before should also be tombs of different scales behind them.

She swallowed and carefully bypassed the priceless treasures and walked towards the center of the space.

That's where the coffin of the owner of the burial chamber was placed.

The coffin is made of stone and adorned with gold and silver jewelry.

She approached the coffin, and looked into it with great boldness,

- However, the coffin was empty, with only a small amount of dust left in the corner.

[That's it!] 】

A terrifying sound came from every corner of the tomb, piercing Tang Dynasty's brain like a steel needle.

Before she could figure out the source of the sound, her consciousness instantly fell into darkness.
