[Hint: Player has obtained - Main Mausoleum Map * 1].

Subsequent tasks!

Fang Heng frowned.

Does the task have a hidden continuation?

Fang Heng immediately took out the assembled Mausoleum Map from his backpack to examine it.

[Item: Main Mausoleum Map].

Description: A detailed construction blueprint of the Main Mausoleum built by the Gnomes.

Seeing Fang Heng take out a map from his backpack and study it, Charlene, filled with curiosity, temporarily stopped her monster-killing rhythm and walked to Fang Heng's side, asking, "Is that the Main Mausoleum blueprint? Did you collect them all?"

"Yes."

Charlene had also triggered related tasks when she entered the Main Mausoleum earlier, but from the beginning, she had a clear goal: to go straight to the Gnome remains in the center of the mausoleum to obtain the Evira chip. She had no interest in other tasks and rewards.

Fang Heng nodded, and seeing Charlene approaching, he moved the blueprint closer to her.

Above this, there is a hidden second layer.

The two exchanged glances, and both saw surprise in each other's eyes.

And coincidentally, the secret entrance passage to the upper layer is located in the center of the hall where they are!

The mechanism to activate the entrance is on the stone coffin behind them!

According to the map's description, simply moving the coffin slightly would trigger the entrance.

It seems very simple to open the second-layer entrance.

But in fact, because the stone coffin was previously filled with space traps, ordinary people would never easily touch it, let alone think that there was an entrance mechanism set up on the stone coffin.

If there's a second layer…

Does that mean there are other exits to leave the mausoleum?

Fang Heng felt a surge of excitement.

"I'll go take a look."

Fang Heng said, putting away the Mausoleum Map and carefully walking to the stone coffin, squatting down to observe it carefully.

The outside of the stone coffin has stone-carved patterns, and there are two recessed grooves on the edges.

The grooves are cleverly integrated into the outer patterns, and would definitely not be discovered unless one intentionally observed them.

"Found them."

Fang Heng said, inserting his fingers into the grooves and gently pressing them downward as described on the map.

"Ka…"

After a slight clicking sound, Fang Heng kept pressing and tried to slowly rotate the entire stone coffin clockwise.

"Ka, ka, ka…"

The entire stone coffin slowly rotated until it had rotated 90 degrees around its center.

A tiny hole the size of a thumb was revealed beneath the stone coffin.

The hole was originally covered by the stone coffin.

Now, without the stone coffin's obstruction, a faint blue beam of light shot out from the hole, forming a blue spot on the ceiling.

Fang Heng raised his head, observing the light spot above, his brows furrowing.

What's next?

According to the description on the map, the second-layer entrance should now be open.

Why isn't there any reaction?

Did it fail?

Seeing this, Charlene seemed thoughtful, and then formed a hand seal in front of her.

"Condense!"

"Ka, ka, ka…"

Under the influence of her psychic power, the mechanism on the ceiling made a clicking sound, and then moved backward, revealing an entrance passage leading upward.

Here it comes!

So it needs to be triggered by psychic power!

Seeing the passage entrance open on the ceiling, Fang Heng's eyes revealed a hint of excitement.

Being able to go through this passage might lead to finding a way to leave the mausoleum!

Fang Heng and Charlene exchanged glances, and were about to go up to investigate when Charlene stopped him.

"Wait here for a moment, I'll go up and take a look."

Fang Heng pondered for a moment, thinking it made sense.

Charlene understands the Gnomes better, and her psychic and spatial abilities are extremely strong, making her more suitable for scouting than he is.

"Okay."

Fang Heng, not insisting, took a small step back.

Charlene gently tapped the ground, and her body was lifted by an invisible force, slowly floating upwards until she entered the hole in the ceiling, quickly disappearing from Fang Heng's sight.

Fang Heng waited for two minutes, seeing a rope dangling down from the hole in the ceiling.

Then Charlene's voice came.

"Come up, I've roughly checked it, the second layer is not dangerous."

"Okay."

Fang Heng replied, grabbing the rope and quickly climbing to the second layer.

"This is…"

Fang Heng ascended to the second layer, quickly observing his surroundings.

The second floor is very dark, but with the night vision ability of the vampires, he can still see clearly around him.

To his surprise, the recovery speed of the second layer's space collapse is faster than the first layer's.

"This place has undergone special spatial reinforcement. The hall area is immune to the effects of spatial collapse. In my judgment, this is probably a special research hall for the Gnomes. The Gnomes were likely conducting research on the Zerg race here."

Charlene looked solemn.

She surveyed the scattered research tables and various research equipment around her, carefully searching.

The entire research hall is somewhat messy.

Clearly, no one has been here for a long time, and it is covered in a thick layer of dust.

Charlene found a manual on a stool next to a lab table, used her psychic power to wipe away the outer layer of dust, opened it, and quickly began reading.

Seeing this, Fang Heng walked to Charlene's side, glancing at it.

The booklet is written in the language of the Gnomes, which he cannot understand.

Charlene flipped through the journal, and a thoughtful expression quickly appeared on her face.

Fang Heng couldn't help but ask, "What does it say? Any discoveries?"

"Well, the corpse stored in the stone coffin in the center of the maze is no ordinary corpse. He was a Gnome warrior who personally killed the Mother Insect of the Zerg race during his lifetime. After his death, to commemorate his achievements, the Gnomes built the largest mausoleum here."

"Likewise, he was also the first warrior among the Gnomes to be infected by the Mother Insect. The Gnomes wanted to conduct follow-up tracking and research experiments on him. To prevent zombification, they would at least need to completely 'purify' him."

"But another group of Gnomes believed that the remains of the dead should not be desecrated and disagreed with this proposal."

"The Gnome internal faction is divided into five factions, and these five factions have their own ideas, arguing for several months, and finally taking a step back, reaching an agreement."

"They decided to abandon the research."

"However, a Gnome faction named Shipkaru will be responsible for the subsequent guarding of the mausoleum. Once they discover that the corpse has the possibility of zombification and mutation, they are allowed to 'purify' the corpse."
