Build an ancient-level power in the nightmare world

Inside a lounge at the Torchbearer company headquarters.

Vivi stood quietly outside a dark door, a complex expression on her face.

The door was ajar, and through that crack, all you could see was pure darkness.

This is the entrance to the Silent Chamber from the outpost.

In the morning, she said she was going to return the 3-036 Relic Matrix of Glimmer, but she didn't actually do so.

When she met Chris in the morning, she suddenly had a strange feeling.

She suddenly felt a little unfamiliar with this new colleague.

But she does have memories of Chris being invited by Benjamin and recruited into the Torchbearers.

Later, while in the carriage, she carefully recalled things about her new colleague.

But no matter how hard she tried.

She couldn't recall any detailed details about the other person during that mission.

This made Vivian realize for the first time that there might be a problem with her.

She remembered that she and Chase had entered apartment 037 Nottingham Street to investigate the Dark Domain contamination.

Therefore, her first thought was that she might have been contaminated by some kind of dark realm.

However, neither the formations inside the temporary base nor the formations in the company's underground base showed any abnormality due to her appearance.

Furthermore, she also sensed the Holy Seal of the Weaving Shuttle within her body and attempted to use the power of the Holy Path to check whether the threads of her own destiny were following a normal trajectory.

Although it was very vague, in her perception, the thread that symbolized her own destiny did not show any obvious deviation.

However, her memory of her new colleagues is indeed problematic.

Therefore, the previous attempts not only failed to reassure Vivian, but also made her more convinced that her problems were probably more serious than she had imagined.

Therefore, she decided to keep the relic numbered 3-036 for the time being.

It wasn't until the afternoon, when she left the company headquarters to go home and see if the family's array could detect anything unusual about her, that she finally arrived.

She then realized that she was no longer able to leave Enclave Street.

At the same time, a somewhat frightening guess suddenly surfaced in her mind.

To confirm her suspicion, she returned to the Torchbearer's basement in the company's underground.

Standing before the door to the silent chamber, Vivian's heart began to race uncontrollably.

Her lips were unusually dry, her expression was stiff, and she exuded a sense of tension.

The Silent Space connects the Torchbearer's headquarters with every branch and official outpost.

It is not a specific room, but a relic whose number begins with 1.

It possesses powerful sealing, isolation, and forgetting abilities.

It was modified by the extraordinary individuals at the top of the empire and became a special space for storing holy relics.

In the silent, narrow space behind the door of their stronghold, an extraordinary being at the level of an enlightener is always on duty.

This is the only extraordinary being at the Revelation level that Vivian, trapped in this area, can think of that she has the opportunity to contact.

She needed to confirm something very important.

Therefore, she had to meet this guardian at the level of the revelation.

The door to the silent, narrow room never needs to be locked.

Vivian took a deep breath, slowly stepped forward, a determined look flashing in her eyes.

Then, she placed her hand on the dark door and gently pushed open the left door.

The light from outside shone into the room, only to be instantly swallowed up by the darkness inside.

The inside remained pitch black.

Without further hesitation, Vivian stepped directly into the darkness of the narrow passage.

……

Benjamin walked down the corridor of the stronghold, his face expressionless.

The candlelight shining around him shone on the monocle in his left eye, occasionally reflecting off its completely white surface.

A short while later, he passed through the corridor, entered the hidden door, and arrived at the base's main hall.

Looking at the empty hall, he remained expressionless.

Benjamin maintained his normal pace, walked to the duty room of the outpost, looked at the closed door, and gently knocked.

The sound of knuckles striking the wooden door was particularly noticeable in the silent stronghold.

There was no response from inside the door.

At this moment, a hint of doubt appeared on Benjamin's face for the first time, and a trace of displeasure flashed in his eyes.

He opened the door to the lounge, glanced inside to make sure no one was there, and then gently closed the door. He then checked the rooms behind each door in the same way.

A moment later, he finally realized that he was the only person on duty at this outpost tonight, at this very moment.

"This is outrageous." Benjamin suddenly thought to himself, "Have I been too lenient with these team members?"

He turned and walked towards his private lounge, wanting to see which two people were supposed to be on duty today according to the schedule.

A soft footstep came from the side.

Benjamin stopped and looked in the direction the sound came from. His brows furrowed slightly, and a hint of doubt flashed in his eyes.

The sound came from nowhere, but from the silent, cramped space.

At this moment... who will emerge from the silent void?

Benjamin was puzzled, and at the same time became more wary.

He had already grasped the silver rune array plate in his palm.

He knew very well what the Silent Chamber was for.

The artifacts stored there range from man-made artifacts numbered 4 to level 1 artifacts corresponding to the Saint level.

Although the narrow spaces accessible from this base can only store level 2 relics corresponding to the pilgrim's level.

However, if it is a relic of that level that has been activated, it has evaded or even defeated the guardian and escaped the Silent Chamber.

The consequences would be unimaginable.

Even with an activated Tier 3 relic, it would be virtually impossible for him to control and reactivate it on his own without being fully prepared.

Benjamin's gaze was fixed on the location from which the sound came. If he detected anything unusual, he was ready to activate the most powerful control array in the stronghold at any time to buy himself time to escape, while simultaneously using the communication array to notify the branch.

But the next moment, a familiar figure appeared in Benjamin's eyes.

"Vivian..."

Having just left the silent, cramped space, Vivian, her eyes filled with complex emotions, looked at Benjamin, who had suddenly appeared there, and a bold idea suddenly came to her mind.

"Captain... Good evening." Vivian concealed the unusual look in her eyes and greeted him in an instant.

"Good evening." Benjamin replied softly, though he felt that Vivian seemed a little different today.

The next moment, Benjamin's eyes flickered slightly. He suddenly seemed to have thought of something, but his tone remained calm as he asked, "You went to the Silent Chamber?"

"Yes." Vivian nodded as she walked toward the long table in the center of the hall. She had nothing to hide about this matter.

"I forgot to return 3-036 this morning, and I just remembered, so I went to the Silent Chamber at this time," she added, her tone completely normal.

"Oh." Benjamin nodded upon hearing this, his face still showing no obvious expression.

His gaze remained fixed on Vivian, and through his monocle, he carefully examined her.

"Go back as soon as you're done paying. You don't need to be on duty today," Benjamin suddenly said.

Vivian and Chase have just completed their mission and normally need to rest for a few days.

He's been on duty alone before, and he's long been used to it.

Upon hearing Benjamin's reminder, Vivian paused, her gaze lowered, and she fell into a brief moment of thought.

A moment later, she looked up at Benjamin, a resolute glint in her eyes.

She slightly changed direction and walked towards Benjamin.

Benjamin's eyes also flashed with a strange light when he saw this.

A wisp of spiritual energy had quietly attached itself to the silver array disc in his hand, ready to activate the array at any moment.

Vivian stopped about two meters away from Benjamin.

After stopping, she looked at Benjamin with a serious expression and said solemnly, "Captain, can I trust you?"

Upon hearing Vivian's sudden question, Benjamin frowned even more deeply, his eyes filled with even greater doubt.

He had a vague sense of unease.

"Of course," Benjamin replied immediately, his face serious and his tone concise and forceful.

Upon hearing this, Vivian asked again seriously, "Then, Captain, do you believe me?"

"?"

Benjamin was puzzled, but he nodded nonetheless.

"Of course, you can tell me whatever it is, Vivian."

Vivian looked at Benjamin, took a few deep breaths, and then, with a hint of anticipation in her eyes, asked, "Captain, I'd like to use the Spirit Echo Device once."

Seeing Vivian's serious and expectant expression, Benjamin's gaze sharpened, and he scrutinized her once more.

Benjamin knew very well what the spiritual echo chamber was for.

Although the spiritual echo device is not a sacred relic, or even a man-made sacred object, as a sophisticated and extraordinary tool, it does have the effect of amplifying the user's spiritual fluctuations.

If combined with specific formations and rituals, it can enable users to communicate with unknown realms and dimensions.

The most common extraordinary dimension is the astral plane.

However, there are already many common rituals for communicating with the astral planes, so there is no need for a spiritual echo chamber.

Why did Vivian apply to use this at this time?

Suddenly, Benjamin thought of a possibility.

His pupils contracted slightly, and his expression became extremely serious.

"You want to enter the spirit world?"
