13HRP – 0082 – Pulse Void Key
Description
Entity 13HRP – 0082 – Pulse Void Key appears as a jagged, crystalline shard of unknown origin, approximately 18 cm long, with a fractured surface that glows in pulses of jade-green and crimson light. When observers study it closely, the glow matches the rhythm of their heartbeat, though scans show no consistent energy signature.
When someone touches the Pulse Void Key directly, their veins darken and expand in spiral patterns beneath the skin. Subjects describe a sensation of being pulled “halfway out of themselves,” as though a second body exists within a mirror-realm tethered to the key. Once contact ends, many experience cardiac irregularities, fainting, or a complete loss of pulse for up to thirteen minutes before recovering.
Classification: High-Level Anomalous Artifact
Threat Level: Red / Systemic — capable of collapsing barrier-stability between Human World and Mirror World.
Properties
- Dimensional Pulse: It emits a rhythmic signal detectable across multiple anomaly detectors. The signal grows stronger when other mirror-linked artifacts (e.g., 13HRP – 0083 – Anti Void Key, 13HRP – 0051 – Mirror World) are present.
- Pulse Lock: When placed against mechanical locks or security systems, the device dissolves mechanisms into black dust, leaving only an echo of their shape.
- Mirror Veins: Long-term carriers develop jade-glowing veins that map symbols resembling the markings of the Lost Vas (13HRP – 0063). Surgical attempts to remove tissue fail, since the pattern regrows within hours.
- Void Resonance: When struck against metal, the Pulse Void Key produces a low hum that echoes endlessly in recordings. Listeners who remain exposed for more than five minutes begin hearing phrases such as:
- “The door was never locked.”
- “Step through the rhythm.”
- “Your pulse is the key.”
History
Researchers discovered the first Pulse Void Key in the sealed car tunnel leading into the Mirror World (13HRP – 0051). It lay lodged in the ribcage of a transformed humanoid, whose body froze mid-step in calcified motion. Six months later, teams uncovered a second shard in the ruins of a collapsed temple linked to the Crimson Egg (13HRP – 0345). Based on these findings, they now hypothesize that multiple Pulse Void Keys exist, each tied to a different “entry door” between realms.
Legends from Mirror World cults describe the artifact as a relic stolen from the Heart of the Void. Cult members claim that activating all thirteen Pulse Void Keys simultaneously would shatter the divide between Human and Mirror World permanently.
Cross References
Dolls and Factory
- 13HRP – 0005 – Bella the Doll
During exposure tests, Bella’s eyes fractured into spiral patterns when placed near the Pulse Void Key. Operatives reported her joints bending at impossible angles and her humming amplifying in volume until instruments failed. - 13HRP – 0025 – Factory Madness
Conveyor systems inside the factory sometimes spark alive when fragments of the Pulse Void Key are brought near. Researchers suspect the factory already runs on void-residue, and the key “recharges” its industrial cycle.
Worlds and Keys
- 13HRP – 0051 – Mirror World
The key appears to be a native construct of the Mirror World’s void currents. Portals around breach sites often mimic its glow and pulse frequency. - 13HRP – 0083 – Anti Void Key
Direct counterpart. When the two are within thirteen meters, violent resonance events occur, causing Event Collapse 13.
Eggs, Beasts, and Relics
- 13HRP – 0345 – Crimson Egg
Some recovered eggs show pulse-like cracks along their shells, as though grown near the key. When shattered, the yolk vibrates with the same hum. - 13HRP – 0064 – The Lost Vas
Engravings on the Lost Vas match the pulse frequency of the key. When aligned, the Vas emits faint red liquid that vanishes instantly, leaving behind geometric scorch patterns. - 13HRP – 0666 – The Slayer 9 Beast
Beast activity spikes when the Pulse Void Key is nearby. Its movements follow the pulse frequency as if entrained by it, suggesting that the key may act as a metronome for its rampages.
People and Influence
- 13HRP – 0004 – Johnny
Johnny has referred to the Pulse Void Key as “the heart that keeps my shadow alive.” Monitors confirm his proximity stabilizes the artifact’s otherwise chaotic pulses, suggesting a dangerous link. - 13HRP – 0053 – Silvia Zilutic
Silvia’s presence near the key intensifies its pulses. Reports say her heartbeat synchronizes with its rhythm, making her appear both calm and fractured. She once whispered: “It beats for the void, not for you.” - 13HRP – 0497 – ClassRoom
When the Pulse Void Key is placed inside a ClassRoom collapse zone, blackboards begin to hum in rhythm with it. Students (mannequins) inscribe spiral equations without stopping, many of which are unreadable even by machines.
Council Directive – Grand Council of Xikeony
“Do not align the Pulse Void Key with its Anti Void twin. The fracture will not close.
If thirteen of them are ever gathered, humanity will not die, but it will no longer be human.”
