The Modern Age of the Mysterious

(Note: The previous "Gurgo script" was renamed "Heber script")

Sean gritted his teeth. He didn't know how many missions this was Will's first, but he was so stupid that he left out such crucial information!

In the midst of despair, he suddenly saw a little light, and Will's condition was better. He tried to recall all the information about the "data room": "It is located in the outer part of the labyrinth. It is for archaeologists after a long time. You can also get information about the containment...

"I remember the person who took me on the mission said before..." Will stopped, closed his eyes, as if searching for memories from a long time ago, "There will be hidden hints of the location of the data room on the walls of the labyrinth!"

Moonlight said: "On the way here, I saw some wedge-shaped marks on the wall. I didn't pay attention to it before. Could it be the beacon of the reference room?"

Compared to Will, Sean is much calmer. Sean also understands Will's type of person, and Will can show a calm side when safety is basically guaranteed. But once faced with a huge threat, he will show his true colors and panic.

But Sean is different, not because of the function of the candlestick symbol, but because he has something in his heart that must be done.

Sean said: "That's it. We can't escape anyway. Let's go to the reference room along the road sign to see if there is a solution to the skinner."

Behind the black hole, a very strange sound suddenly came - quack! Gah!

It was like the ominous howl of a crow, but it was a hundred times louder and more mournful than the sound of a crow.

"Listening to this voice, the Flayer has almost recovered." Jasmine's state seemed to follow Will. When Will had no masters, Jasmine also kept trying to run for her life. Now that Will has calmed down, she can speak.

"Moonlight, you lead the way!" Sean said, and the four started running again.

In the dark maze of stone walls, four faint rays of light glanced desperately at the rough wall. Due to the violent movement, the heart beat as if it was about to break free from the chest cavity. The threat is approaching...

Five minutes later, at a fork in the road, the moonlight pointed to the wedge-shaped sign on the wall—it pointed in the opposite direction of the exit.

Sean pointed in that direction, and Will pulled him, his eyes flashing with a hysterical expression: "If you go to the data room, the way out will be blocked!

"If we all go there, if we can't deal with the skinners, we'll be finished!"

Sean understood what Will meant: he wanted to act separately.

There was a chill in Sean's eyes: "What do you mean?"

If Will wanted to take Jasmine to the exit, Sean wouldn't stop him—of course, he couldn't stop him either.

Will was breathing heavily—the calm state that was different from before the mission started, and the fear of death, even beyond death, seemed to torture him enough.

"I mean, we have to arrange for one of us to run to the exit!" In order to survive, his face became a little hideous.

The moonlight behind Sean looked at Will, who had lost his way, with some pity.

Jasmine's eyes were red, she covered her mouth, choked up.

Sean turned his head to look at the dark road behind him, his psyche stretched into a thin tail, feeling the approach of the flayer—it was nibbling away the distance between them.

Will looked at Jasmine, his body heaved and took a few breaths, as if he had finally summoned up his courage, he tore off the diamond frame hanging around his neck and handed it to Jasmine: "Take this back to mother. If I don't come back, the pension should be enough for you, so you quit the exploration industry and take good care of your mother!"

Holding Will's diamond-shaped frame, Jasmine burst into tears, and her tears soaked the candlelight veil.

Under the somewhat surprised eyes of Sean and Moonlight, Will trembled with fear, but he still touched Jasmine's head: "I'm not dead yet, why are you crying?!"

"Run!" Will roared with a ghastly face, Jasmine seemed to be frightened, and without hesitation, she sprinted towards the exit.

"Let's go!" Will ran in the direction the sign pointed.

Sean sighed slightly and chased after him.

After following the first wedge-shaped sign, almost every branch road will have that unremarkable sign.

Sean could feel that since the three of them had greater fluctuations in their spiritual power, the flayers followed the three of them—if Jasmine didn't encounter other threats on the way to the exit, then she would be safe now.

In the deep darkness, the three of Sean saw a bright light in front of them. It was like a ghost fire, and it was like some kind of fluorescent plant.

The three of Sean ran to the faint light. On the stone wall, there is a deep ditch in the shape of an arch, and the cool fluorescent light is diffused from the deep ditch.

In the center of the arch, there is a raised, bronze labyrinth sign on the stone wall.

"The logo of the Daedalus Foundation should be here." Will tried to place his hand on the logo.

Sensing the human's pulse and body temperature, the delicate mechanism hidden under the maze logo was activated, the logo began to rotate, and there was a dull sound in the stone wall.

The stone wall stepped back for a while, allowing people to enter and exit. Due to the trigger of the organ, some fires were lit up in the door. Dodging in, Sean saw the simple carved oil lamps being lit one by one.

"The history of this labyrinth is at least two hundred years old. I didn't expect these mechanisms to fail." Sean was a little more in awe of the mysterious "Daedalus Foundation".

This stone room is about fifty square meters in size, illuminated by twelve oil lamps, and there are several frescoes painted on the front wall. Under the wall, there are tables and cabinets, and some pots and jars that seem to be sealed with wax.

When Sean was in the inspection room, Will and Moonlight found the inside mechanism and closed the stone door. The stone gate was about twenty centimeters thick, but they didn't count on it to keep the flayers out.

Several murals were arranged in order, and Sean only glanced at it to understand the meaning: "The Quillians have found the remains of skinners who may have existed in the time of their ancestors from the tombs...

"They used shamanic spells to resurrect the remains, and made the Flayers the patron saint of the tribe...

"Aboriginal and new immigrant armies clashed...

"For revenge and protection, the flayers launched a hunt for new immigrants...

"Some powerful people defeated it, but could not destroy it, trapped it in a labyrinth, and built a cathedral to shock it with the power of Father Keene..."

Sean took a breath: "The cathedral and the labyrinth were built at the same time, so why didn't the pastor before Winston mention it? How could such important information about this containment labyrinth be broken? ?"

Deciphering the mural and having questions, Sean was in seconds. Will pointed to the jars and jars sealed with wax under the mural: "The data should be in here, open them all!"

While the three of them unpacked the jars and took out the specially treated leather materials, the spiritual essence that Sean had been extending all the time, felt the skinner's approach.

It has extremely sensitive perception and is very familiar with the labyrinth, so the flayers have followed closely without taking any detours.

Sean's cheek muscles bulged: "It's not far from here, it will be there in ten minutes!"

Sean swept the dust off the table with his sleeves, spread out the leather materials that had been taken out, and glanced at the oil lamp.

The text written in black ink on the skin of some animal is neither Leonian nor Hebrew - it is a symbolic text that Sean has never seen before, and its writing method seems to be three-dimensional.

Sean opened another sheet and found the same text. One more flip, still the same...

He shook Will coldly: "What kind of text is this?"

Will looked down and his face turned ashen: "This is Daedalus' ciphertext!"

Sean's psychic substance could feel that at this moment, the skinner used all four limbs, approaching quickly on the stone wall like a slender lizard, the nail dangling behind it like the huge claw of a skinning knife.

Sean's eyes widened, hot and cold sweat flowing: "Ciphertext? Do you understand?"

Will held the vellum blankly and shook his head with dull eyes.
