Chapter 162 Watchers and Channels

   The historic monastery in front of you combines various ancient elements, giving it the feeling of a dilapidated spiritual temple.

  Yi Chen still kept his vision fully open, looking at the yellow-clothed individual who was suspected of being a monitor.

  Recalling the books I read in Zion, there are very few records about such groups, and the organization simply discloses the name and related responsibilities of this special gentleman.

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

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

  【Tunnel-Watcher】

   A class of high-level gentlemen who have received special training in Zion and are good at handling events alone.

   They tend to have a more withdrawn personality, and are reluctant to stay in the city to get along with others. They prefer to engage in activities outside the city, and even long-term expect to carry out their daily life in the thin gray area.

   This habit may have something to do with the old-world visions they saw when they broke through the "limits of man".

  Due to their unique talents, the conscious body completely sank into the old world during the breakthrough, resulting in the transformation of the body and soul in the process, and the thinking level also became inclined to the sick.

   But they did not deviate from human beings and the organization in essence, maintained their due gentleman character, and circulated in various strongholds under the organization, and always kept in touch with Zion.

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

   It is rumored that the monitor can feed on the qi of the old world escaping from the entrance of the passage, kill any sick person who tries to approach the passage, and ensure the stability of the passage.

   One person can maintain the stability of the new channel for nearly a hundred days.

The most important thing,

  Because of the efforts of the channel monitor, the new gentleman has the opportunity to contact the channel, and without considering other factors, go to the surface of the old world to find relics,

   Before the breakthrough, the personal experience of the old world can greatly improve the [success rate] and [depth] of the limit breakthrough.

   in front of you,

  Under the combined vision of Yi Chen and Xiao Grape, there was no abnormality found in the yellow-clothed monitor, and he could only feel an invisible aura as a strong man.

   Following the monk-like gentleman, when he stepped into the gate of the monastery,

   A statue of the Virgin Mary holding the Holy Grail 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 its surface.

   In the main hall area, the reliefs of the sun, moon and stars are carved between the domes supported by stone pillars.

  Although this monastery was built inside the mountain, with the help of such reliefs, it seems that people here can keep in touch with the universe at all times.

   The watcher's words came:

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

  The monastery brings the distance between our world and the old world closer. As the walls and ground overflow the gray water fluid day by day, [channels] also appear. "

   The monitor waved his hand,

  The leather blanket covering the statue's head then slipped off, and a terrifying and eerie picture came into Yi Chen's eyes.

  The so-called [channel],

   is present on the face of the statue of the Virgin,

   occupies more than 90% of the entire face, and the layers of nested flesh wall structures seem to rhythm regularly with the statue's breathing.

  The fluid-like thick gray matter and the facial passage overflowed, and only a few seconds of exposure made the monastery overflow with gray, and the walls and floors seemed to be activated.

  Wow!

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

   "It seems that your teammates haven't come over yet?"

   "Yes, we were affected by [Concentration Eye Syndrome] during the climb and were forced to separate... However, with their abilities, they should be able to find this place."

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

   Give your teammates one more day. If you fail to arrive, you will have to enter the passage alone.

  Follow me first. "

   Under the leadership of the monitor,

   Bypassing the main hall of the monastery and passing through the promenade, you arrive at the residential area at the rear of the monastery, where there are several rooms for the former teachers to rest.

   Nothing but dust.

  Stone hard bed, simple desk and stone window the size of a head.

   "The monastery has been cleaned up by me. You can rest assured here, get rid of your fatigue and discomfort, and prepare for the upcoming trip to the old world."

"thanks."

The    monitor didn't stay long, and after a flash of yellow shadows, he returned to the main hall and continued his surveillance work.

  Yi Chen also watched the yellow back disappear completely before returning to the room temporarily arranged for him.

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

  Yi Chen sticks his palm to the door panel, quack quack ~ a lot of roots to reinforce the old wooden door, and make a fully enclosed plant door lock, isolated from inside and outside.

  The window is also completely sealed with plants by the same method,

   After cleaning the dust off the bed,

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

   The tense nerves were finally loosened, the sweat continued to overflow from the forehead, and the black hair pupils on the eyeballs gradually dissipated.

  The little grapes separated from the brain and reappeared on the shoulders.

   "As I said, having this deep visual fusion with me will double the load on your brain..."

  Yi Chen didn't care about this kind of brain fatigue at all, instead he looked very excited.

   "No~ just need to get used to it a few times! It's so comfortable to have a visual sense of being able to take in more detail and more light... Let me take a break, and then we'll keep the same state as before."

   A trace of white smoke overflowed between his head, and the book emblem on the back of his head flipped quickly, speeding up his recovery from brain fatigue.

   Little Grape asked with some puzzlement: "Isn't it safe? There is still a monitor here, and the sick people in the mountains will never dare to take half a step. Why do they need to perform visual fusion?

   Wouldn’t it be better for us both to have a good night’s rest? Get ready for your upcoming Old World journey. "

  Yi Chen didn't mean to rest at all,

   He put his hands behind him, tilted his head back and looked at the top of the room, "Little Grape, do you really think it's so easy to get to where the [passage] is?"

   "Why is it easy? Our visual union found the hidden wall... If we didn't have this discovery, we would still be trapped in the mountains, climbing like headless flies."

   "Is there a possibility that the 'snooping' of my accidental discovery of the stone disease and the discovery of the hidden wall were all deliberately guided by the other party?

   True illusions are not all false,

   This kind of illusion that is both true and false can make it easier for individuals to fall into it, and even believe it.

   Of course, this is still my guess,

   It is indeed possible that we really found the passageway. This gentleman in yellow is indeed a monitor. After all, our vision did not find any abnormality.

  Before you have 100% confirmation of safety, you must be alert,

   Next, we will pretend that everything is normal and pretend to rest in the monastery... If there is really a problem here, there is a high probability that we will come to us tonight. "

   "Listen to you."

   During the rest of the day, Yi Chen pretended to be leisurely strolling around the monastery, trying his best to sweep his eyes across every corner without missing a single detail.

   Still no problems were found, and this historic mountain monastery is all normal under the watchmen's management.

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

   It can even be seen that a little gray matter left by the head of the Virgin was inhaled into the body as 'food' by the monitor, which is consistent with the rumors.

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

  The gentleman's clothing is also very cooperatively switched to "sleep mode", which turns into a fully enclosed sleeping bag and wraps Yi Chen in it.

  The night was quiet.

   Under the door panel that should have been blocked by plants, a yellow cloth strip spreads in…
