This historic monastery in front of you is a mix of ancient elements that give it the feel of a dilapidated spiritual temple.

Yi Chen still maintained a state of full vision, examining the yellow-clothed, suspected observer.

Thinking back to the books I had read in Zion, there was very little mention of such groups, and the organization simply disclosed the pronouns and responsibilities of this particular gentleman.

Later, I also got some more detailed information from Mr. Zede.

According to Zed, if his eyes hadn't been destroyed, he might have become one of the watchers.

Tunnel-Watcher

A type of high-level gentleman who has been specially trained in the Zion Chamber and is good at handling events alone,

They tend to be more withdrawn, reluctant to stay in the city to get along with others, more inclined to be active outside the city, and even stay in the thin gray area for a long time for daily life.

This habit may be related to the old-world scenes they see when they push through the "limits of man".

Due to their unique talents, the consciousness completely sank into the old world during the breakthrough, causing the body and soul to transform in the process, and the mental level became inclined towards the sick.

However, they did not deviate from humanity and the Order in essence, maintaining their proper gentlemanly character, and always maintaining contact with Zion in the various strongholds under the command of the Order.

Once a new passage is discovered, the nearest person will be given a "surveillance mission" and rush to the passage as soon as possible.

It is rumored that the Watcher can feed on the aura of the old world escaping from the entrance of the passage, killing any patient who tries to approach the passage, ensuring the stability of the passage.

One person can maintain the stability of the freshman channel for nearly 100 days.

The most important point is that

Thanks to the efforts of the Passage Watchers, the new gentleman has the opportunity to access the Passage and go to the surface of the Old World to find relics without considering other factors.

Before breaking through, gaining first-hand experience of the old world can greatly increase the [Success Rate] and [Depth] of Limit Breakthrough.

now

Under the combined vision of Yi Chen and Xiao Grape, he did not find anything unusual from the yellow-clothed monitor, and could only feel an invisible aura as a strong man.

Following the gentleman who looks like a monk, when he steps into the gate of the monastery,

A statue of the Virgin holding a chalice stands in the center, about three times the size of a normal human body, and its head is 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 carved with reliefs of the sun, moon and stars.

Although this monastery was built inside the mountain, it seems that the people here can always maintain a connection with the universe with the help of such reliefs.

The watcher's words came:

"Even I don't fully understand the origin of this monastery...... It has a history of at least two hundred years.

The monastery closes the distance between our world and the old world, and as the walls and ground overflow with gray mass day by day, [passages] are also created. ”

The Watcher waved his hand,

The leather blanket covering the statue's head immediately slipped down, and a terrifying and strange picture came into Yi Chen's eyes.

The so-called [channel],

Being present in the face of the statue of the Virgin,

Occupying more than 90% of the entire face, the layers of nested flesh walls seem to be rhythmic with the breath of the statue.

The fluid-like gray matter and facial passages overflowed, and it only took a few seconds to expose the ashram to a gray color, and the walls and floor seemed to be revitalized.

Wow!

The gentleman in yellow raised his hand and re-ejaculated a yellow leather blanket to cover his face, and everything returned to normal.

"Your teammates don't seem to have come with you yet?"

"Yes, we were forced to separate during the climb due to the effects of [eye fixation...... However, with their abilities, they should be able to find it here. ”

"No wonder you found this place so quickly, it turns out that you chose the nearest climbing route. If you can see through the illusion and find this place, it means that you are eligible to go to the "Old World".

Give your teammates another day, and if you don't make it, you'll have to enter the passage alone.

Follow me first. ”

Led by the Watcher,

Bypassing the main hall of the monastery and crossing the promenade, you will reach the living quarters at the back of the monastery, where there are several rooms for the former faculty to rest.

There is nothing but dust.

A hard stone bed, a simple desk, and a head-sized stone window.

"The monastery has been cleaned by me, so you can rest here, unload your tiredness and discomfort, and prepare for the journey to the old world."

"Thank you."

The watcher didn't stay long, and a yellow shadow flashed before returning to the main hall and continuing his surveillance work.

Yi Chen also watched the complete disappearance of the yellow back before returning to the room that was temporarily arranged for him.

The wooden door lock of the room has long been broken,

Yi Chen put his palm on the door panel, rattle ~ a large number of roots to reinforce the old wooden door, and made a fully enclosed plant door lock, isolated from the inside and outside.

The same method is used to completely seal the window with plants,

After cleaning off the dust on the bed,

The suitcase was placed at the head of the bed, and Yi Chen also sat on the slate bed.

The tense nerves were finally relaxed, sweat continued to spill from his forehead, and the black hairy pupils on his eyeballs gradually dissipated.

The little grape detached from the brain and reappeared on the shoulder.

"As I said, this kind of deep visual fusion with me will multiply the burden on your brain......"

Yi Chen didn't care about such brain tiredness at all, but seemed very excited.

"No~ just need to get used to it a few more times! It's so comfortable to be able to take in more detail and more light...... Let me take a little break, and then we will continue with the previous bond. ”

A wisp of white smoke spilled out of his head, and the book emblem on the back of his head turned quickly, speeding up the recovery of brain fatigue.

Little Grape asked a little puzzled, "Isn't it safe already?" There is also a watchman guarding here, and the sick in the mountains will never dare to approach half a step, so why do they need to perform visual fusion?

Wouldn't it be nice for the two of us to have a good night's rest? Get ready for the journey to the Old World that is about to begin. ”

Yi Chen didn't mean to rest at all,

He put 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 get to where the [Passage] is?" ”

"How can it be so easy? The visual combination of the two of us revealed a hidden wall...... If it weren't for this discovery, we would still be trapped in the mountain trails, crawling like headless flies. ”

"Is it possible that the 'prying eyes' of the stone and the discovery of the hidden walls were all deliberately guided by the other party?

The real illusions are not all false,

This illusion of both truth and falsehood makes it easier for individuals to fall into it, and even to believe it.

Of course, this is still my guess.

It is indeed possible that we have really found the passage, and this gentleman in yellow is indeed a watchman, after all, our vision has not found anything abnormal.

Before 100% confirmation of safety, you must be vigilant,

Then we pretended that everything was normal and pretended to rest in the monastery...... If there's a problem here, there's a good chance they'll come to us tonight. ”

"Listen to you."

For the rest of the day, Yi Chen wandered around the monastery in a leisurely manner, trying to sweep his eyes around every corner without missing a single detail.

No problems were found, and the historic mountain monastery was in good condition under the watchman's management.

And the watcher himself has remained in front of the statue of the Virgin,

It is even evident that a small amount of gray matter left by the Virgin's head is being sucked into the body as 'food' by the watchdogs, consistent with rumors.

After a brief stroll, Yi Chen honestly returned to his room, checked the doors and windows blocked by plants again, and fell asleep.

The gentleman's costume was also very cooperatively switched to "sleep mode", turning into a fully enclosed sleeping bag to wrap Yi Chen in it.

Dead.

Beneath the door panel, which should have been blocked by plants, a strip of yellow cloth spreads in......
