On September 3, 2002, at 07:18, the cutting gun of Technician Choi Daeshik sparked blue flames against the inner wall of the Water Tank, and the foul-smelling stagnant water suddenly formed a whirlpool. When his safety rope inexplicably tightened, a rusted Iron Box burst forth from the drainage outlet, its lid adorned with an equilateral triangle drawn in Church Ink—each vertex embedded with fragments of a Platinum Hairpin. 0
 
"There's a body! A body in the Water Tank Interlayer!" The assistant's scream echoed through the vaulted structure. Choi Daeshik gazed at the corpse suspended in midair, a Dried Corpse clad in a Deep Blue Uniform. Its left fibula was externally rotated at a 55-degree angle, and the Copper Wire entwined around it formed a spiral pattern reminiscent of the Seoul Cathedral Organ's pipes. 0
 
As the Forensic Department sealed off the scene, I extracted a Military-Grade Silicone sealing layer from the inner side of the Iron Box. An X-Ray revealed that the bottom of the box was welded with a Korean Coin from 1986, but Proton-Induced X-Ray Fluorescence Analysis showed that the copper-zinc ratio of the coin matched that of newly minted coins from 2001. 0
 
"Officer Zheng, here are the dental records of the deceased." Park, the forensic expert, handed over the file with trembling hands. "It's Kim Myung-sook, a church cleaner who went missing in 2001, but according to Pubic Symphysis Morphology analysis..." He removed his mask and swallowed hard. "This corpse has undergone natural desiccation for at least fifteen years." 0
 
On July 17, 1986, at 21:03, school worker Li Manzhu's flashlight beam pierced through the rain on the rooftop. A figure in a deep blue uniform danced at the edge of the Water Tank. As he wiped rainwater from his eyelashes, that person suddenly leaned back at a 55-degree angle and fell into the Water Tank entrance like a marionette controlled by strings. 0
 
"Help!" Li Manzhu's cries were swallowed by thunder. As he climbed up the maintenance ladder, he heard the Seoul Cathedral Organ playing "Requiem" from within the Water Tank, interspersed with high-frequency metallic scraping sounds. When his flashlight beam swept across the inner wall, he saw hundreds of etched equilateral triangles, each leaving behind traces of platinum fragments. 0
 
The next morning, police retrieved training uniforms from the Water Tank. Li Eun-hee discovered embroidered letters spelling "Cui Meishan" on the left chest area, but fabric analysis revealed it to be Nano-Level Water-Repellent Fabric that debuted in 1988. Even more bizarrely, fibers from the clothing contained Colored Glass Particles that were only used during renovations of Sacred Heart Hall in 1990. 0
 
On September 3, 2002, at 14:37, a Mass Spectrometer detected Calcium Fluoride Crystals on the surface of the Iron Box—this substance only forms during high-temperature sintering processes involving Ashes. When I inputted this data into the Architectural Structure Simulation System, the dome shape of the Rooftop Water Tank suddenly decomposed and reassembled on screen—it was clearly an enlarged Cochlear Structure capable of focusing sound waves of specific frequencies at a central point. 0
 
"Sound Wave Weapon Testing Ground." Military Expert Song Jae-sik’s lenses reflected cold light. "During construction for the 1988 Olympic Venue, U.S. Military's 72nd Research Laboratory borrowed Mingde Girls' School for Infrasound Directional Transmission Tests." 0
 
In the suddenly darkened laboratory, backup samples of Church Ink began to ignite spontaneously. In the thick smoke, I felt along the inner side of the Iron Box and my fingertips suddenly brushed against ridges resembling human ribs. 0
 
 
When the emergency light turned on, a diagram of the Seoul Cathedral Organ keys, drawn in blood, appeared inside the box. At the center C key position, a piece of shark cartilage with barbed tape was stuck. 0

Li Eun-hee was recalculating the selection scores at the Office of Academic Affairs when the LCD Screen of her calculator suddenly displayed garbled text. When she removed the battery, the screen instead lit up with clear numbers: 55.555. A flash of a red skirt passed by outside, and by the time she rushed into the hallway, she only saw four reflections in the glass of the fire hydrant—each dancing to a different version of Swan Lake. 0
 
At that moment, Kim So Yeon's medical report arrived. The X-Ray Film showed high-frequency burn marks on the fracture surface of her Fibula. When Li Eun-hee held the film up towards the top floor, moonlight filtered through the bone's pores, casting a map of the Seoul Diocese on the ground, while blood droplets were seeping from the location of Sacred Heart Hall. 0
