Chapter 697 Something is wrong with the mausoleum
When the low roar sounded, Duncan's attention immediately shifted to the open space in the center of the square——

He saw that the mottled and old stone slab suddenly began to undulate like quicksand, and some kind of huge structure gradually emerged from the depths of the ground. What first appeared in the field of vision was a gray-white spire. After a while, it looked like a giant pyramid and An ancient mysterious mausoleum that resembled a palace complex gradually appeared in his sight.

Solemn, solemn, silent and simple, the "mausoleum" building made of some kind of gray and white boulders stood quietly not far away, as if a piece of frozen time was reflected in this dim chaos. Duncan looked at it in surprise. This huge building rose from the ground. Driven by curiosity, he carefully observed its style and structure, but found that it was not consistent with any architectural style that he knew in the current city-state era.

It was more like the buildings from the Kingdom of Crete that he had occasionally seen in some books.

The saint soul projections all over the square also fell silent, and countless eyes fell on the huge pyramid mausoleum involuntarily. A solemn and slightly nervous atmosphere filled the assembly hall, making the scene There was silence.

Several minutes later, when both Vanna and Maurice began to frown in confusion, wondering if there was something wrong, some movement finally came from the depths of the mausoleum, and the seemingly heavy stone door finally Finally, it slowly opened with a low roar.

The door opened, revealing the dark corridor structure inside.

The soul projection gates gathered in the square stared at the gate. The deathly silence lasted for a long time, and finally gradually turned into a slight commotion and buzzing discussion.

Listening to the low-pitched discussions coming from all directions, Duncan realized that something seemed to have happened. He frowned and asked Vanna beside him in a low voice: "What's wrong?"

"...The gravekeeper didn't show up," Fanna also lowered her voice, seeming to feel a little uneasy in her doubts, "Under normal circumstances, the gravekeeper should have walked out of the gate at this time!"

Duncan's expression gradually became serious.

As time goes by, the ancient and mysterious mausoleum still stands quietly in the center of the assembly hall, and the guardian of the mausoleum who should have appeared has not yet appeared in front of everyone. The whispers in the square are gradually spreading. This is different. The ordinary situation even caused many people to ignore "Captain Duncan" who appeared at the rally today.

Others, on the other hand, subconsciously looked at Duncan.

Duncan didn't pay attention to the eyes looking at him, but came straight to Helena.

"It seems that this is a situation you have never seen before," he said straight to the point. "Do you have any response plans next? If not, then I'm going to check out this so-called 'mausoleum'."

"Wait a minute," Helena said immediately. Then she thought for a moment, then turned to look at Lu En and the others beside her, "...let's go over and take a look at the situation first."

"Okay," Lu En nodded first, then raised his gaze and gave an order to the soul projections gathered in the assembly hall, "Others are on standby in the square and don't get close to Vision 004."

After saying that, he turned around and walked slowly towards the solemn mausoleum not far away with Helena, Banster and Frame.

Duncan thought for a while and followed up - Lu En heard the movement behind him and looked back. Duncan said casually: "I'll just go over and have a look. Don't worry, I won't light the fire."

Lu En's expression was a little subtle for a moment, probably recalling the fire in Silendis's last moments. Helena hesitated for a moment and then turned her gaze to Vanna. After a slight hesitation, she nodded lightly. He nodded: "Fanna, you are coming too."

"Me?" Fanna was startled for a moment, but quickly reacted and hurriedly followed.

Morris, along with others, stayed in the "safe area" some distance away from the mausoleum, watching the figures slowly approaching Vision 004 with a slight nervousness.

Duncan followed Helena and others, and slowly came to the foot of the solemn gray-white pyramid, and to the silent and open door.

The deep and dim corridor extends into the distance behind the gate, and the not-so-bright light dimly illuminates the outline deep in the corridor. There seems to be a far wider and deeper space inside the mausoleum than it appears from the outside. The corridor seems to There is no end, no end as far as the eye can see.

Frame bent down next to the gate, seeming to be checking something carefully, while Rune pressed his hand on certain positions on the outer wall of the mausoleum. Near the place where his palm touched, there were faint runes like The light emerged from the air and flashed in mid-air.

Helena and Banster seemed to be praying silently, and seemed to be on guard against something.

Duncan looked at this scene with some curiosity and couldn't help but ask: "What are you doing?" "In the ancient years, this 'Tomb of the Unknown King' had an uncontrolled history. At that time, it The chosen ones were randomly summoned around the world, causing many terrible events. Later, the Four Gods Church at that time jointly acted to put a layer of shackles on this ancient 'vision' that operated automatically," Lu En said. While inspecting the hidden runes around the tomb, he explained casually, "These contracts witnessed by the four gods set the rules for Vision 004's originally disordered 'summoning' behavior. This is how the current bell and assembly system came into being... …”

Duncan raised his eyebrows: "Sounds like some kind of containment procedure?"

"It's just a limited 'use'," Rune shook his head. "Anomalies cannot be contained, but by mastering its laws, we can minimize its harm and even make it useful - today's anomalies Like 004, it is still running as before, but we have found a way to obtain information from it without being killed..."

Visions cannot be contained...

Listening to what Lu En said casually, Duncan looked a little strange.

He thought of the Lost Home - strictly speaking, the Lost Home was currently under containment, and he, "Captain Duncan", was the containment condition of the Lost Home.

But this exception happens to be in line with the "zero rule" of anomalies and anomalies...

Duncan shook his head and temporarily put aside these irrelevant thoughts that had appeared in his mind. At the same time, he heard Frame break the silence with a deep voice: "It doesn't seem to be a problem."

"Yes, everything seems to be normal." Rune also completed the preliminary inspection. The old elf straightened up, took two steps back, raised his head and looked at the magnificent pyramid tomb in front of him, his expression looked quite solemn, "At least... …That’s how it is out there.”

"Everything is normal on the outside - so the problem can only be inside," Duncan said softly, and then walked to the main entrance of the mausoleum again, looking at the dim corridor that seemed to have no end inside the door, "What are you going to do next? Is there any plan?”

Frame came over. Under Duncan's curious gaze, the silent and tall Sen'jin pope raised his scepter and paused three times on the ground.

The next second, a vague shadow suddenly split from his side, solidified and solidified in the blink of an eye, becoming another Frame.

"This is my historical incarnation from an hour ago." Frame turned around and explained to Duncan casually. As his words fell, that "historical incarnation from an hour ago" had already taken a firm step forward. He crossed the gate of Vision 004 under the watchful eyes of everyone.

The tall figure walked forward in the darkness. Vanna came to Duncan's side and watched with some nervousness as it gradually reached the depths of the corridor. Then, she saw the figure suddenly stop at a certain location. .

"Why can't you stop?" Duncan turned his head and asked with some confusion.

Frame also frowned. Apparently even he, the "summoner" himself, didn't know why his historical incarnation suddenly stopped on the spot. He looked at the scene deep in the gate of Vision 004 in confusion, and raised his head His hand drew a few runes in the air, as if he wanted to re-establish the connection with his own incarnation. However, at this moment, a great uneasiness suddenly surged into his mind!

Almost at the same time, the historical incarnation staying in the dark depths of the corridor shook slightly and seemed to be slowly turning around.

Standing outside the door of Vision 004, Frame's expression suddenly changed, and he suddenly raised the papal scepter in his hand. While lifting the summons to the incarnation of history, he immediately warned: "Be careful, pollution!"

The next second, he cut off the summons neatly and issued the order to disintegrate the historical incarnation. However, the top of the scepter in his hand only flashed a fleeting dim light. The one standing in the corridor of Vision 004 The tall incarnation did not dissipate at all, but continued to turn its head after shaking slightly——

Like a strange corpse, the tall and pale figure turned its head, and the face slowly turning in the shadows had begun to show terrifying distortions and a chilling smile. In the dim light and shadow, that tearing smile bloomed in the darkness like a madman's laughter, while layers of murmurs, murmurs and weird whistlings appeared in almost everyone's ears in an instant!

This horrifying and strange scene made people's hair stand on end. Banster and others reacted immediately and were instantly prepared to deal with the pollution and fight against powerful enemies. Although the person who entered the tomb was only a historical incarnation, it was also the Pope who brought the fire. Incarnation, the kind of power that can cause it to be polluted and corrupted in an instant is obviously extraordinary!
However, at this moment, a tall figure suddenly took a step forward and blocked the door, blocking the sight of the "incarnation of history" who was slowly turning his head.

Layers of illusory flames rose up around Duncan. In the crackling spiritual fire, the green wall of fire almost blocked the entire door. He stood in the flames and stared at the man standing motionless in the distance. A figure that has been contaminated by some kind of power.

"Why don't you continue to spin?"
