"My master will never forgive you! Never!" the snake woman let off a final shriek before she was completely devoured.Cian’s group trembled at the sight of her being eaten. The souls then flew through the air before proceeding to disappear into the palace. "What just happened, sir?" Cian's eyes were wide with disbelief. Everything he had just witnessed could not be explained through science. Adrian heaved a sigh of relief and looked at his surroundings. "She was never a being from this world, but merely a seal.""A seal?" Cian exchanged looks with the others. These monsters were a part of a seal, existing in the real world based on myths. Adrian nodded. "They were sealing all those souls you saw. Those souls had suffered endless torment. When I struck her with her own weapon, the souls rushed out of the sword and feasted on her body. But strange… How do I know all this?"He was confused. Everything he said came out very naturally, and his subconscious was thinking the same.

Cian and the others were taken aback. They grew even more confused about the seven oil lamps.Rozi, who was studying the platform, found a drawing on it. The drawing was complex, and it looked like someone had engraved some graffiti over it. Everything was so illogical that Adrian could not make any sense of it. "Do you know what this means?" he asked.Rozi shook her head. Looking at the drawing, she said, "It looks half completed. I can't tell what it is at the moment."One of Cian's men looked at the drawing and said, "Sir, don't you think this looks like human blood vessels?"Adrian repeated, "Blood vessels?"The man nodded. Cian said, "Sir, this is Padraig Fitzgerald. He was in a medical course and is quite knowledgeable about that field. I think you should hear him out."Adrian gestured for Padraig to go on."Look here. This drawing looks like a person lying on the platform. This thickest line here seems to be the blood vessels around a human's neck. These connecting th

There did not seem to be any flaws in Adrian's logic. First of all, the oil lamps were indeed an indication of the galaxy. Secondly, it was impossible for the answer to the puzzle to be to line them up in a straight line since literally anyone could figure that out. Moreover, the people of the past loved to twist and turn their answers. Hence, Adrian believed that the key to activating the mechanism was by rearranging the Big Dipper. In other words, he needed to locate where the Big Dipper should be pointing and shift the oil lamps accordingly.Rozi silently acknowledged Adrian's deduction. After observing her surroundings, she said, "Here comes the million-dollar question. We've lost our sense of direction, so which way is True North? We won't know how to rearrange the oil lamps if we can't identify this."She had brought up a very important question, one that stumped everyone. There were no ventilations within the palace, and everywhere without oil lamps was shrouded in darkness.

The men intended to set up another round of explosives.Cian said, "Sir, I recognize their speech. They're Rondoniers.""Rondoniers?"Adrian, who had lost his memories, could not remember who or what Rondoniers were. Rozi, too, looked at Cian curiously.Cian replied, "Rondom is the most technologically advanced country in the world, but they're our enemies. They've been trying to rule over the world for the longest time. You killed a lot of them in the past, so it's surprising to see them here."Adrian had no memory of Rondoniers, but he could tell they were his enemies based on Cian's tone. Sworn enemies, in fact. "I don't remember them, but I recognize their speech.""You can? But I thought you lost your memories?""It's probably something burned into my subconsciousness. The memories from that part of my brain are still intact. It's the same as how I remember whatever I do about the world.""I see.""They're trying to blow apart some sort of coffin,” the sharp-eyed Rozi sai

Chamat answered honestly, "We have a map that we obtained through 4D scanning. There's another entrance through the snowy mountain, and that’s how we got in." He slowly brought out a map and handed it to Adrian. "Here, sir."Adrian took a look at the map and was amazed by how detailed it was. It had the entire palace mapped out."What do your superiors want from this place? What are they planning?"Chamat shook his head. "I would never hide anything from you, sir, but that’s highly-confidential information, even for me. Please don't kill us." He shivered as he spoke."What are you looking for?" "A piece of metal.”“Why would your superiors want a piece of metal?" Chamat shook his head. "I don't know. They just sent us down here with our mission. They didn’t explain anything.”"Chamat is telling the truth, sir. We're too low in the food chain to know something that confidential. We only know our superiors scanned this place and made a map of it. That's all," Blu added. Adria
