Scorching Light

The moment the gate opened, holy light poured out like a flowing solid, while the pleasant sound of wind chimes echoed through the air and lingered throughout the Long Hall.

The psionic resonance in the air seemed to respond to the neatly arranged rows of black holy coffins. The instant the "wind chimes" rang, all the holy coffin devices emitted a low hum, and the lights on their surfaces began to flash in sync, like breathing.

Eileen was startled on the spot and instinctively tugged at Yu Sheng's hair. "Hey, hey, hey, what the heck is this?! Why does this scene look so familiar--"
