章 1602: Resonant Maggot

Before Vlitgar could respond the door slowly creaked open as if from a scene from a horror movie.

Hao Xuan craned his neck to try and get a peek inside but it was shrouded in darkness and nothing after the first couple of feet was visible.

"Hmm, are you sure this is a good idea?"

Hao Xuan asked with a great deal of uncertainty but Vlitgar acted like nothing was out of place.

"If there is one being you can trust within the Sanctum, it is the curator," he said while patting him on the back.

Vlitgar ventured inside and disappeared on the other side of the wall of darkness without so much as a sound.

Hao Xuan looked long and hard to try to find even one reason to turn back but it only "appeared" bizarre.

He didn't have any feelings of apprehension or dread going inside, in fact, it was quite the opposite. The darkness came billowing forth and surrounded him from all sides in a warm embrace.
