Chapter 182 The Last Seen (4K [-]-in-[-])

How could the name of the first generation leader of Guidance School appear here?

Could it be said that this stele of the God of Artifacts, displaying the Grand Court School, was carved by Guida Lezzo?

Is there some kind of connection between Guidance School and Great Court School?

With these questions in mind, Fan Ning carefully looked at the seven witness symbols from right to left: oblique line segment, spark gear, arc knife, lamp, spring, liquid and hand, mirror. The two righteous gods "Raven" and "Fanghui Poet" were found in the book, and "Endless Fugue" was not found—this seems to indicate that the last three witnesses are not the gods of Qiyuan.

Moreover, the crowd did not feel the terrifying feeling when they were glimpsed by the "Ghost of the Mantra" before, which shows that the Lord of Witness pointed behind these symbols may have encountered some unknown change.

"I suspect more and more that this is the so-called 'device source god' wreckage that the Special Inspection Office is collecting." Joan's tone was decisive.

Qiyuanshen... Fan Ning couldn't help pondering this term carefully.

It may represent that the Lord of this kind of witness was once the origin of a similar ritual vessel?And for what reason did it fall? ...which is indeed a bit confusing.

"Fountain in the painting" is one of them?Something happened to him, but his pollution remained?
"Caroun, look at this." Sheeran pointed to the light pattern again, "Do you remember that when we first opened the secret door of the Turner Art Museum, a sheet painted with Mysterious foundations with black lamp-shaped outlines?"

"I have the impression..." Fan Ning nodded, "Look at the hand stretched out of the liquid again, isn't this the phase sign of 'Chi'? Why is it the symbol of the Lord of Witness?"

"Could it be...'Red Pond'?" Sheeran guessed, "It's strange to say, I have been wondering why the name of the Lord of Witness has a phase name..."

"It's really strange." Fan Ning said, "And the 'Red Pond' is still the evil god enshrined in the Yueyue Listening Club. Could it be that the Qiyuan God who was followed by the Great Court School is not the only one who has gone crazy? But didn't all the Qiyuan gods become Is it wreckage? I can understand the pollution characteristics of the wreckage, it’s like a 'spring in the painting'... but this 'red pool', is it alive again?"

Apart from the "Fountain in the Painting", the only symbols familiar to them are "Red Pond" and the lamp, and the other four are very unfamiliar.

"Caroun..." When the two were discussing, Joan suddenly said with a trembling voice, "I, I, I feel... the deformed paint ball in that underground building... seems to have followed here..."

Fan Ning was startled by these words, and his thoughts were withdrawn from the discussion of the secret history. He suddenly turned around, only to realize that the paint that had been falling down in the green night sky had turned into a state of pouring rain!
Looking down again, there was red, green, blue, and purple over [-] centimeters thick on the ground, which had covered the shoes of the three of them at some point.

He only reacted and grabbed the hands of the two girls, the slurry suddenly foamed and swelled violently, the three of them slipped and fell down.

There was a sound of exclamation, the paint covered the three people's bodies, and the face upturned was instantly covered by the freshly fallen paint. Fan Ning firmly grasped the hands of Xilan and Joan, but the foul-smelling slurry poured directly into himself snout.

Everything happened so fast.

Fanning felt tingling all over his body, and his heart began to pump blood violently, oozing from the gradually dissolving skin.

Even though he was moving, this experience was still completely real, and made him feel that death was approaching thoroughly, without any room for struggle and resistance.

The extremities of the limbs have been transformed into a part of His image, and the range of insensibility begins to spread towards the torso.

The whole world is filled with the screams of pain and excitement in the paint, and the desperate cries of the two girls are gradually drowned out.

Perhaps this is the final outcome of the vast majority of people with knowledge?

Or maybe, the experience of traveling to this so-called different world for nearly a year, after all, started with a nightmare and ended with a nightmare.
That. I have stood on the podium, enjoyed the feeling of the symphony I created flowing from the baton, experienced the gaze of the musicians and the audience, and experienced the encore, flowers, applause and sleepless nights. It is also very good .

After dozens of breaths, Fanning in the pile of paint only had a pair of eyes exposed.

His gaze at the last moment was once again cast on the stone tablet hanging in mid-air.

The symbol on the far right, it seems... suddenly flashed to me?
So hot
A piece of blood red.
The ears buzzed, and the sun penetrated the closed eyes, reflecting the blood in the flesh with a bright red color.

The chirping birds, the noisy cicadas and the rustling breeze gradually occupied the main part of the hearing, the back and buttocks were pinched by stick-shaped things, and the damp and cold soil came from the rest of the place, and the cheeks turned up, But the abdomen and legs were scorching hot from the sun.

After dozens of breaths, Fanning slowly opened his eyes, and the scorching light poured down from the branches. He subconsciously raised his arm to cover it, and the mud rubbed his face.

This is where?Fan Ning got up quickly, slapped off the rotten leaves and twigs on his body with both hands, and re-stabilized his backpack.

The sun shines through the layers of branches and leaves and sprinkles spots on the forest path. At the end of the field of vision, huge steel supports and factory chimneys billowing thick smoke are faintly visible.

The hill behind the Turner Art Museum?How did you get out?
After leaving the underground building, those terrible memories began to lose coherence, but some iconic images became more vivid and clear.

Is it real, or a nightmare?

The scene in the end was so hopeless, but now I can turn back without incident, it should be just a nightmare, right?
However, he suddenly realized that his arm was burning with pain.

He stretched out his hand and turned it over, exposing the side of his elbow. The blood stained the nearby clothes red, and when he rolled up his sleeves, the fine and ferocious tooth marks could be seen on the skin.

Pull out the crowbar, the metal at the front end is covered with paint.The backpack was very heavy, and he grabbed it to his chest, and saw the stack of books called "Octogon Codex".

Before he had time to think about it further, Fan Ning realized a more important problem, and immediately looked around. When he found the white figures of the two girls lying under a tree more than ten meters away, his hanging heart was finally relieved.

He took out his pocket watch and found that it was three o'clock in the afternoon, less than two hours before entering the secret door.

Under the deep well, the only time he saw the time was when he was resting in the underground cave with the "Dome Gate" painted on it. At that time, the pocket watch pointed to [-]:[-].

Regardless of whether this reading is correct or not, it does not match his own experience of the flow of time before and after. He couldn't help but think of the experience that Joan once shared about her mistakenly entering the "cracking field" of the secret realm of migration.

After more than ten minutes, the two girls woke up leisurely. After Fan Ning calmed down their emotions a little, everyone began to walk slowly down the hill.

After the catastrophe, everyone first exchanged some state feelings, and agreed that apart from the unknown thixotropy brought about by the "Mantra" at the beginning, the later encounters did not leave any discomfort in the present. On the contrary, the strength of everyone's inspiration seems to have increased. Quite a big improvement, especially the two girls speculated that they were close to the top of the strength of low-level sages.

In addition, there are also a batch of valuable hidden knowledge and occult literature harvest.

This is in exchange for the high risk of exposure to secret history.

"So did you guys see anything at the end?" Fanning then asked.

Joan's face was paler than what Fanning saw during the rehearsal that day, she shook her head: "I felt pain all over my body, my heart was beating fast, my body gradually dissolved in the paint, and then I lost consciousness, and even Before that, there was a quick flashing of my own life experience..."

Fan Ning couldn't help being confused when he heard this. Could it be that the flashing symbol he saw inexplicably at the end was also a near-death experience?

He began to take out the fascicles of Codex Octogonus one by one from his backpack, and did a brief scan.

"The "War of Persuasion"... Sheeran, you have a high level of historical literacy, have you ever heard of such a war?"

Sheeran shook her head blankly: "When did the incident happen?"

Fanning flipped through it roughly: "This is a historical review document written by a historian of the Theoline Empire who claimed to be 'Jean Cosme', aiming to reveal the 'laws of struggle between schools and churches', The title page is full of warnings from the copyist 'Okgang', indicating that 'Kosm' has been erased in every sense, and more than [-]% of the text on the front of the booklet has been blackened with paint..."

"...in the later text of the ambiguous 'Second Persuasion War' of 728-729 New Calendar, it is mentioned that the new Steam Age leader was advised by the spokesman of the 'Lord of Hosts', and that the United School of In the end, the "crows return to the west" and "the demise of the blood secret sect and the longevity secret sect"... The scribe "Okgang" spent a lot of space in the end notes to lament the unfair treatment of himself as the victor... "

"I've never heard of this kind of argument, but the changes in the power of the church mentioned later are barely confirmed..." Sheeran commented, "This so-called 'Battle of Persuasion', the two years were close to the Empire's 'Steam Revolution' The final stage of the war... This is a war that has been fought since the second half of the 7th century in the new calendar, and lasted more than sixty years..."

Joan interrupted and said, "Well, a well-known piece of history, the Nehemiah family conferred knighthoods after their meritorious service in that era."

Sheeran continued to briefly describe: "At that time, the feudal dynasty of Hoffmann was in decline. Under the secret control of the Holy Kingdom of Janus, the Nileru, Tungus and Lange people infiltrated it to the point where Louis I ascended to the throne. On the stage of history, launch a steam revolution, weaken the power of the church, and denounce the invaders..."

"The end result is: the small kingdoms of the Nileru and the Tungus were destroyed, the Lange were driven back to the homeland of the Kingdom of Lydia in the Western Continent, the Spiritual Commandments were prohibited from preaching in the Northern Continent, and many secret churches were exiled. Defined as an evil god organization and eradicated... The Church of the Holy Sun seems to have become the only legitimate orthodox church in the North Continent, but its strong position is gone forever, and the cakes in hand are not as good as when many churches coexisted... The Hoffmans have expanded its territory, changed its name to the Tiolein Empire, and gradually embarked on the road of industrialization..."

Fan Ning finally speculated: "Since the biggest winner is the emerging industrial class in Tiolein, then comparing history and secret history, it seems that behind this war is the predecessor of the Special Inspection Office, which cooperated with several university schools to fight against the church forces..."

Everyone glanced at the following sub-volumes together, and found that "Investigation of the Stories of the Great Court" was in the Noah language that required a lot of translation to understand, while "The Chariot Ascension to Heaven" and "Sacred Spring Tantra" used a language similar to the previous novels. The confusing wording on the picture frame describes some "painful and drastic changes" in the body or spirit of the "people who pass through the door", and praises the "fountain in the painting" for all things in the world. Harmony, Variation and Aesthetic Teaching'.

These fanatical and passionate sentence patterns piled up with meaningless words made the three of them in a trance for a while, and when they read the texts about various human body transformation experiments and weird sacrificial methods in "Human Body Transmutation Experience Record", their mental states returned to the state of collapse again. edge.

Towers that symbolize the origin, mixed ancient buildings of various periods, unintentional glimpses of "beasts of mantra", weird galleries and rooms, objects that come to life, deformed paint monsters, indescribable pollution channels, and awe-inspiring The dizzy and disgusting ruins of the third history, the pain of being dissolved and the fear of transmutation...

The terrifying images in my memory seem to come alive again, and they are attached to all kinds of real things in front of me, causing them to produce hallucinatory changes.

Fanning wondered how he had feigned composure down the hill to the Turner Gallery.

A few people struggled to deal with the remains of the secret ritual in the mobile exhibition hall, sealed the secret door again, and then returned to the Woodpecker Consulting Office not far away with wandering eyes, and continued to crawl with wandering eyes amidst the scent of a pile of tempting food. Go up to the second floor.

As soon as "Caroun" Joan entered the office room of 209, she lay down on the sofa face down, "If you insist on rehearsing tomorrow, I still don't want the halo of 'the premiere of the First Symphony' .You let me sleep well, although I may not be able to sleep."

"No rehearsal, no rehearsal tomorrow, let them practice on their own on the weekend." Fan Ning sat on the piano bench with his legs limp, and leaned back directly.

"Why don't you go and return the sacrificial vessel first?" Sheeran's voice was a little hoarse, "I seem to have heard that Dupont should be playing the guitar inside."

"Let him remember to take it by himself." Fan Ning turned around, opened the cover of the upright piano with trembling hands, "Don't talk to me, let me play the piano first, I want to be quiet."

He played down the first "Prelude and Fugue in C Major" (BWV846) from the first volume of Bach's well-tempered piano collection. The beating heart gradually calmed down.

And when Fan Ning deduced all kinds of exquisite fugues under his fingers, the other two people became more and more surprised in their lax consciousness. They found that in these works they had never heard before, there were With extremely high polyphony skills and the beauty of profound logic, they began to look at Fanning's profile with eyes mixed with enjoyment and disbelief.

Bach's musical comfort pulled several people back from the brink of collapse, but the state of the next few people was still not very good.

Fanning dreamed about those things almost every day, and sometimes he was climbing the endless spiral staircase in the middle of an empty tower, and then he was suddenly frightened by the cries of pain and excitement behind him, turning his head back from the height Falling down, sometimes he wanders again among the ruins of the Great Court School, witnessing the dizzying and disgusting colossal buildings, and sometimes he finds his reopened art gallery full of weird impasto paintings And statue dolls, and the eyes of every audience who came to the exhibition are as ancient and terrifying as "The Naruto".
Although he was still able to maintain lucid dream self-knowledge with dream control, the process of moving through these things was still disgusting and uncomfortable.

He tried his best to devote all his attention to rehearsing and studying music, and his whole body was slowly recovering. The time flashed to Monday, August 8, less than five days before leaving for the imperial capital.

The musicians came unusually early today.

At [-]:[-], the rehearsal hall was full of seats. As soon as Fan Ning, who was wearing a formal suit and carrying a briefcase, opened the door, he saw everyone staring at him.

Because today is the day when he announces the candidates for the musicians to perform in the imperial capital.

　Thank you for the four consecutive monthly tickets rewarded by the two of Xiaomu and Daboguo on August 8~
　　Thank you Man Don't, Mountain God and Sea Demon, Guanzhi Sanren, Feizhu in the Wind, Head of the Lost Tour, a copy cat, billions of years of famine, and the monthly pass for the baby's grievances and pain~
