Chapter 420 "The Shrine of Life" - Advancing Through the Curtain! Ethan: Death, I'm here to whip the corpse! ^▽^
Kroc froze abruptly.
He slowly raised his head, looking at the researcher, his eyes gradually filled with disbelief.
He murmured hoarsely, "What...what did you just say?"
What was invented? Who invented it?
During these past few days?
"The light source! The most crucial problem—the light source—has been solved by Sasha and that newcomer!!"
The researcher shouted, and grabbed the director's arm, pulling him out!
He shouted excitedly, "Everyone's at the curtain gate now! Come on over!!"
They hurried along, and finally arrived at the cold, dark stone gate.
At this moment, hundreds of people were gathered here, crammed together.
Everyone stared at the gate, their faces, tense from intense work, now displaying a frenzied fervor!
Upon seeing the director, everyone around silently made way for him.
Supported by the researchers, Kroc, his legs weak, made his way to the curtain.
I saw the unremarkable newcomer and Sasha looking dazed.
It's obvious who's in charge.
The newlyweds held a wooden cage that resembled a shrine in their hands.
Inside the cage, a blazing light shone.
Like a flame igniting faith, you can feel the heat even from a distance.
The newcomer glanced at Chief Croc, raised his hand, and together with a white rabbit, floated into the dark curtain with the shrine.
"Whoosh!"
The curtains fluttered, like a giant mouth, swallowing the light.
Thump! Thump!
Chief Crocker heard the heavy thud of his own heart.
Amidst a sea of intense gazes.
A few seconds later.
The magic was recycled, like a rope, slowly pulling the shrine back.
! !
Kroc held his breath, staring intently at the emerging white rabbit.
Chirp chirp.
Two soft chirps.
The white rabbit, suspended in mid-air, was flapping its legs with great energy.
He emerged from behind the curtain, still alive!
Title: The Shrine of the Living
[Effect: A protective barrier is generated within a certain range centered on the shrine, unaffected by any external curses.]
[Comment: Sparks were ignited amidst the corpses, life was forged. From a selfless contributor.]

'
Chief Crocker was stunned.
His gaze slowly swept over the white rabbit and the shrine, finally settling on the unremarkable face of the newlyweds.
They met eyes, those calm yet strategically focused, diamond-blue eyes.
next second.
Thump!
Chief Crocker's knees buckled and he knelt down!
However, he didn't care at all. He struggled to crawl forward on his knees, grabbed the newcomer's leg, and his pent-up emotions burst out all at once!
He cried out, "It worked...it finally worked!!"
"We've finally figured out a light source that can penetrate the curtain!!"
"You are my god, no, you are the god of our entire Department of Mystic Affairs!!!"
A wail filled with countless emotions echoed throughout the hall.
But no one laughed; everyone was moved to tears, with tears streaming down their faces.
"Damn it, finally free..."
'
A researcher wiped away tears and choked up as he spoke.
Looking at the young man standing in front of the stone gate, one could only feel that he was radiating a dazzling light.
the other side.
Sasha stared blankly at Ethan, a glimmer of light gradually appearing in her eyes.
"Finally, I can finally see you again, brother..."
She stroked the flute pendant around her neck; the barely perceptible flute melody, imbued with magic, touched her fingertips.
Everyone, including her relatives, told her that only the dead could enter behind the veil.
But only she knew.
As long as the sound of the flute continues, life has not ended.
"Wait for Sasha, brother." Sasha gripped the flute, a resolute look appearing on her youthful face. "I'm coming to rescue you!"
In the center of the faint light.
Ethan looked down at the director, who was clinging to his leg and wailing, a smirk playing on his lips. "Now," he said, "am I qualified to be one of those who enter the inner circle, Director Crocker?"
"You're qualified! Absolutely qualified!" The director nodded vigorously. "You could be the director if you wanted!!"
Ethan: "Haha, I still prefer your initial rebellious attitude."
Director:
... *sobs* QAQ

"That way, we can get inside the veil and find out what's going on before Ethan infiltrates the Ministry of Magic!"
He breathed a sigh of relief.
Looking up at the newlyweds' "majestic" figure, one feels as if a god has descended, his whole body exuding an aura of dominance!
I couldn't help but think:
To achieve so much at such a young age!
He'll definitely be a pillar of the Ministry of Magic in the future.
After the most critical issue of the light source was resolved.
The Department of Mysteries quickly secured protective suits, various magical items, supplies, and contingency plans (A, B, C, D, E).
Ethan kept nodding in agreement.
He was very satisfied with his joining the Bureau of Mysteries.
Having a professional team to assist you makes a difference; it's much better than working alone.
"They've gained experience now," a veteran researcher said confidently. "After such heavy losses last time, at least they know how dangerous it is inside—ah."
He abruptly stopped speaking.
Realizing she had let something slip, she glanced cautiously at Ethan.
Ethan: "Go on."
Researcher: "Uh, it's really nothing..."
"7
Ethan: "Enticing the Mind."
Researcher: "Wait, wait! I'll tell you, okay?!"
He wiped the sweat from his forehead and stared speechlessly at the young man in front of him.
This newcomer isn't just all talk; he actually knows how to use forbidden spells on others!
Last time, he made a shocking statement like "Why does A wear a tail on her underwear!"
This caused the unfortunate man's wife to explode on the spot!
She had never seen these underwear before.
The untold story behind it, men and women in tears.jpg
Although their methods are bizarre... this is the mysterious department that studies "love, death, and brain vats"!
It's so strangely normal!
Thus, Ethan blended in perfectly, and no one doubted him.
"If you really want to know, don't say I told you..."
'
The veteran employee's eyes darted around.
They thought this newcomer might become their boss in the future.
So he blurted out, "You don't know this, but almost thirteen years ago, the Department of Mysterious Affairs entered the veil once."
""
After listening to the senior researcher's account.
Ethan understood.
This is the biggest "scandal" the Bureau of Mysteries has ever had.
The reason why the curtain gate has stood for so long without any research progress is also related to this "scandal".
Thirteen years ago, the Department of Mysteries organized twenty-three members to enter the veil.
All twenty-three men were wiped out.
After the magic rope broke, they never came out again, and no one knows what happened.
From then on, he "disappeared without a trace".
"That silly girl all day long, Sasha's brother, is one of them."
The veteran employee smacked his lips and said, "If it weren't for this connection, she wouldn't have been able to get into the Bureau of Mysteries."
Ethan understood.
It turns out he was also someone with connections.
The veteran employee said, "I think that girl is pretty crazy. Everyone knows that only the dead fall into the veil. Besides, so many years have passed, and there's still no news of her."
"But she stubbornly believes that her brother is still alive. Sigh..."
The veteran employee spread his hands and shrugged.
"I see..." Ethan said thoughtfully, then grinned. "Only the dead enter the veil? Since our time, that ironclad rule has ceased to exist."
Upon hearing this, the veteran employee was taken aback, then nodded in unison, saying in a hoarse voice, "Yes, yes."
"I hope you will be the first people to enter and exit the veil alive."
To create a new river, one that was never before seen.
Looking into the bright, piercing eyes of the newlyweds in front of him.
For some reason, I inexplicably thought of the young man who is currently stirring up trouble in the magic world.
The child's eyes, too, were fearless, filled with a constant desire to explore the unknown.
Suddenly.
The veteran employees felt that "Ethan Vincent" didn't seem as evil as the Ministry of Magic described.
soon.
Everything is ready.
Ethan was wearing a protective suit that covered his head and feet and was heavily enchanted.
He had a series of potion sticks stuck in the leather belts tied around his waist, and a supply backpack slung over his back.
He was a newcomer not long ago, but now he is the backbone of the team.
Standing in the center, controlling the suspended shrine, its intense light enveloped everyone.
Sasha stood behind him, constantly muttering to herself with nervous excitement.
Leading the group was Chief Crocker, whose pipe protruded from the gaps in his mask, constantly releasing smoke mixed with calming herbs.
He exchanged a glance with Ethan, took a deep breath, and resolutely shouted, "9:29 AM, August 23, 1996, Department of Mysteries, the second exploration of the Veil Gate begins!"
Done.
Several footsteps emerged simultaneously, stepping into the swaying curtain under everyone's gaze!
"Whoosh—!"
In the blink of an eye, the curtains fluttered gently, swallowing everyone's figures.
In complete silence.
The researchers stared at the empty curtain.
Murmured prayers:
;
"Merlin, please let these people return safely. May they be blessed by the gods."
The flickering lights of prayer drifted into the curtained space.
The sound lingered in Ethan's ears, causing him to turn his head as if sensing something.
Beyond the veil through which only death can pass, beyond the direction pointed to by the guiding bones.
Let him see what good stuff is hidden inside.
"Grim Reaper, I've come to desecrate the corpse!"
Ethan murmured, a grin spreading across his face.
Under the light, his companions around him retreated in fear.
I thought it was a monster-hunting event.
