musicians of old

Chapter 614 No. 0

"boom."

Fanning's first reaction to the bizarre sight before him was to slap his chest almost violently.

At the same time, the object that he once wore was instantly retrieved from the place where it was placed in his dream and brought back to the waking world.

——The response of the hard object told him that the necklace and the art gallery key on the necklace were still there.

That's right, the current key is usually dropped by Fanning in the Qiming Church after he had a secret conversation in high place with the nameless saint of the Holy Pride Sun Church.

Although he didn't dare to enter the Dream Qiming Church because of the pollution of the "old days" some time ago, he still threw it in. Especially during the investigation of the abnormal area.

After all, it is Time Key No. 1 related to "snake". He is afraid of something unexpected happening if he holds it in his hand. The unknown dangers that came suddenly in the South Country, including the "Meat Thanksgiving" at the last moment, were all because someone in the dark was coveting this key.

Anyway, it's still there now.

So it shouldn't be the case that someone just moved it onto the tombstone without anyone noticing?

In fact, Fan Ning was not sure whether the one on the tombstone was just put up, or it had been there for a long time and he just discovered it by some strange coincidence.

Some absurd thoughts flashed through his mind, and a few fingers slowly jumped over his lapel and pulled out the thing worn on his chest.

The necklace didn't change much, and the shape of the key didn't change much either, but when Fanning saw the pattern on the front of the key clearly -

The spear-shaped symbol disappeared, replaced by a clock symbol!

His eyes suddenly froze, and he turned them over with trembling hands.

A small oval circle.

  Arabic numeral “0”!

"Impossible!!!" Fanning exclaimed.

  This key has been in the Turner Gallery since it opened from Vincent's hands. It has been worn by Fanning since Vincent disappeared. For five years, the memory of every detail has been rooted in his mind. There has always been a spear relief on the front and a small raised vertical line on the back. There is no mistake!

"Carlon, is this not serious? Could it be a prank by someone who knows the inside story?

Hiram quickly looked around the cemetery.

  She thought that the one hanging on the statue in front of her might be a replica?

Or, was the one in Fanning's hand "swapped" by someone?

"I know it's not an ordinary item. After the incident, you lent it to me in the piano room for a while. I played a little piano piece and it instantly eliminated the slight contamination of the 'mysterious chord'. You didn't seem to be a knower at that time. Did you discover and use its mysterious properties a long time ago?"

Fanning shook his head. "It was originally just the key to the Turner Museum. It was not until that day in the piano room that I discovered it was a strange object. This was related to the initial activation of the power of the 'Old Days' debris. The connection became larger and larger, and I really couldn't figure out the connection."

"As for how to describe the current situation." He frowned and pondered for a while, "Actually, there are three keys like this. Their whereabouts are currently unknown. Many high-level beings are looking for them. Then, the one I originally held, I don't know why it ran out and hung here, and now the one I wear around my neck has become another one for some reason."

  According to the nameless saint, the glow is refracted through the "prism" into seven phases equivalent to "visible light" and a secret history equivalent to "invisible light". As for how to understand this "prism", the "originalists" of Mithraism once believed that it was "belief", that is, the "Trinity" theory, while the "disenchantment school" believed that it was "study", that is, the "sequence of time". Of course, there is also the heretical "Snake School" whose position and purpose are unknown.

——Specifically speaking, regarding the “time sequence integration” theory of the “disenchantment school”, they believe that the “prism” is composed of three time sequence keys: the symbol of key No. 1 is a book, and the will power contained is “secret history”; the symbol of key No. 0 is a clock, and the will power contained is “order”; the symbol of key No. 1 is a spear, and the will power contained is “destiny”.

Let's assume that Key No. 1 ran to the statue on its own. Of course, we can't rule out the possibility that it was induced and stimulated by some other factors.

Then, he got Key 0, the key to the "Theme of God"? Because he had seen the portrait of Bach and learned about the revelation, and got the manuscript of "The Art of Fugue" before, the appearance of Key 0 itself had some reasonable explanations.

  But what does this scene before us imply?

The key about the "snake" came to life?

"There have been a lot of strange things recently." The atmosphere in the Black Cemetery was a little tense. Xilan finally relaxed his face and smiled, "Including the investigation plan of Iggs's old house has been frustrated. I don't know if it was the Special Patrol Office's trick or the God's Descent Society's trick. But at least tonight, it seems that you have an extra key?"

"So before we leave, can you take it back somewhere far away?" She made a gesture of taking it off in the air.

Fan Ning stood there in silence for a long time.

"Just go, I don't want it anymore."

"This thing is a bit weird. It is very likely that it has received personal attention from the 'Snake of Truth'. Many of my experiences along the way were caused by it or involved in it. The effects were mixed, but from the results, it seems that negative events have prevailed. Including what I told you on the journey, why Joan was stranded in the Abnormal Zone was because the God's Advent Society used some weird grafting methods to interfere with the original effect of the key on me."

At that time, the saint believed that the apostle Vien had "intercepted" this key item of the Society of the Advent of God through some means, and then transferred it to the key figure "Lavoisier" (of course, the person who "intercepted" it was actually Vincent or Fan Chenxun, and Fan Ning deliberately obfuscated some key information at the time).

Therefore, the saints advised that "in addition to being careful, it may not be a bad thing." After all, it is also a key link in the "great cause", so you just need to be more careful.

In fact, what the Holy Sun Church has been searching for for generations and is recorded in the secret church texts is not Key No. 1, but Key No. 0.

So, the latter is now hanging on Fanning's neck for some unknown reason.

This result, simply "changing number 1 to number 0", is more beneficial than harmful. As the person who got the "God's Theme", Fanning is more secure in his involvement with it and is more confident in judging the pros and cons.

But if he continues to force key No. 1 back into his bag, it would be hard to predict whether good or bad would happen.

Fanning pulled Shilan and quickly evacuated the Liufennas Garden, leaving only the spear relief key still hanging on the neck of the bronze statue.

  Suddenly inconspicuous

The "Eternal Fire" witness symbol on the bronze sculpture base, the circle surrounded by radial lines, suddenly shrank and twisted inward in a spiral shape.

"Woo——"

The night wind blew in, causing the necklace and the key to swing together.

Pieces of paper were flying in the air like snowflakes. Some of them were greeting cards that had been mixed into the bouquets by the flower donors, and some of them were probably just the scattered garbage and waste paper around the park that were blown out.

After all, the city's sanitation work has been operating under overload.

But if you look at the dim light of the gas lamp, you can see that the papers that were rolled up higher contain lines of scribbled music scores and symbols.

If Owen, Laxus or other high-ranking members of the Special Patrol Office who had had contact with them were here, they might find that the content recorded here is exactly the same as the torn music score that Owen's father, Captain Colin, brought out from the B-20 Abnormal Zone more than 105 years ago.

Here is a passage from Scriabin's The Secret World of the Apocalypse.
