Mystery: I can change things in books

Chapter 65 Accident
In Tingen in June, even if it rained just in the evening, it could not dampen the sweltering heat outside. Unlike this, the logistics department at this time was extremely cool.

"Thermostat", this fantastic idea recorded in the manuscript of Emperor Russell was recently turned into reality by the Mechanical Heart. This instrument that can effectively reduce the indoor temperature is currently in the internal testing stage.

At eight o'clock in the evening, the logistics department had already closed. Chris was the only one here, and the clerical worker Bob George had also gone home from get off work.

According to the duty schedule, today is Monday, and Chris is on duty at the steam gate.

Remembering Bob's instructions, he turned off the gas light, reset the gas meter in the hall to zero, and then turned off the "temperature regulator" switch.

The hall was dark except for the candlelight in Chris' office.

Chris suddenly felt a little lonely.

Let's keep the light on...

He closed the door of his office, changed his clothes, put on his triangle holy badge, and walked underground.

"Ah!" The voice-activated gas lamp above his head turned on.

After passing through the deep underground passage, he came to a fork in the road.Chris took a deep breath and headed left, towards the steam door.

The way the Mechanical Heart guards the Steam Gate is different from the way the Nighthawks guard the Chanis Gate. They can enter the Steam Gate and guard in the buffer zone behind the door, while the Nighthawks can only guard outside the Chanis Gate.

In addition to the difference in architectural structure, the main reason is that the number and power of the sealed objects held by the Church of Night is one level higher than that of the Church of Steam.

The bronze door is thick and majestic, without any gaps.

"Grrrrrrrrrrrrrr-"

The mechanical gear behind the door slowly rotated, and when the lever was pulled, white steam came out from the cracks in the door, and an old man in bronze robes appeared behind the door.

He raised his head, drew a Steam Holy Glory on his chest, and signaled Chris silently with his eyes.

Chris looked dignified, returned a salute, and followed behind the old man.

The buffer zone is lit by gas lamps, but the brightness is not very bright, and the light gets weaker as you go in.

The old man stopped at the three-way intersection and pointed to a small, semi-open room next to him.

"Chris, you are here to watch."

There was only a table and a chair in the small room, and a candle lantern hung on the wall.

Chris opened a booklet introducing the Steam Gate on the table, and there was a floor plan of the Steam Gate in it.

An arrow marked Chris's position. He was now at the end of a long, narrow buffer zone, with three bronze gates ahead.

The door directly in front leads to the "core area" where sealed artifacts are placed, the one on the right leads to the "archives area", and the door on the left leads to the "prison area" where members of secret organizations and cultists are imprisoned.

"Core area," the old man turned around and lowered his voice to remind: "Don't get close to the gate of the core area, even if there is any noise inside, don't get close! Remember!"

The old man's footsteps gradually faded away, Chris had a solemn look on his face, and even his breathing involuntarily weakened.

The tension and seriousness were quickly worn away by time, and Chris felt bored.

Are we going to stay here all night?It doesn’t seem to be a big deal. By the way, there’s no rule against taking naps...

Christo twitched his chin. He was now regretting why he didn't bring a novel with him.

The first part of "Stormhouse" should have been published. It is the work of Miss "Magician" Forsi...

He played with his fingers boredly, then raised the floor plan and looked at it.

The area behind the Steam Gate is so large. The area of ​​just one core area is larger than the prison area and archives area combined, and there are several floors. After all, sealed objects require various methods to seal... He said I yawned and cheered up. Although it is not humid here, it always gives people a gloomy and cold feeling.

"anyone there?"

A female voice suddenly sounded in Chris's ears, and the source seemed to come from behind the door in the core area.

Behind the door was an innocent little girl.

Such a sentence suddenly appeared in Chris's mind for no reason, as if there was another person's consciousness in his brain, and that person was narrating this fact lightly.

Chris curled his lips and rubbed the white crystal copper chain in his hand. He was a little surprised that the bewitchment of the sealed object behind the door came on so quickly.

Shut up, shut up, no matter how "you" shout, I will not be deceived. Even if "your" voice can penetrate the door, so what, I will not open the door.

The voice seemed to hear what Chris was thinking, and actually started sobbing.

Ugh.

Chris sighed helplessly. He believed that he was safe now, but the strange female voice he heard made him irritated.

The sobbing continued, and Chris wished he could pull Captain Albert over now and ask him what was going on.It was like a horror movie he had seen before, where ghosts kept tempting humans and could not be driven away, and the best way was to ignore them.

He knew that Klein had encountered a similar situation when he was guarding the "Chanis Gate". At that time, the sealed item numbered "2-049" was sending certain information to Klein.

Could it be that I was not used to being on duty at the "Steam Gate" for the first time and was hallucinating?

Chris scratched his head. There has never been an escape of sealed items from the Steam Gate of the Holy Numbers Church since its establishment. Just like the ashes of St. Selena are buried in Chanis Gate, the Steam Gate also has a high-sequence powerful person's ashes. Relics guard.

So he's not scared at all now.

Chris walked to the door and looked in the direction of the old man. There was only yellowish gas light and no one could be seen.

"Whoa, please save me. I'm trapped here and can't get out. Whoa..."

He approached the gate of the core area and asked, "Who are you?"

The sobbing behind the door suddenly stopped. After a long time, the voice said intermittently:

"I, I am...I forgot..."

thump -- thump -- thump --

A dull knocking sound suddenly came from behind the door, and the force was obviously not something a woman could make.

Before Chris could react, the door to the core area branded with the Holy Glory of Steam was opened from the inside!
A tingling sensation mixed with itching came from his wrist. A woman wearing a long dress with an indiscernible color came towards him, her whole body was shining.

She feels like Mrs. Sharon to Chris, beautiful and noble, with a strong aura.

it's not true...

Chris didn't dare to look at her. He knew this wasn't true, but what was certain was that the door to the core area was opened.

In his eyes, the world was shaking and spinning. He didn't know which sealed object it was, nor why the physical mechanisms and occult traps didn't work, nor how the door to the core area was opened so easily.

"Look up and look at me."

Chris couldn't refuse. The moment he raised his head and met her eyes, there seemed to be a thunder in his mind, and he was extremely shocked.

He has seen this woman.
