First step:

Sequence: ASCII values of QWERTY, which is the English keyboard
So the missing values are: 85, 73, 79, 80
Then the message is undefinedetartne'hc iov ,aznareps ingo etaicsaL

Reversing it leads to Lasciate ogni speranza, voi ch'entrate
Using google translate: Leave all hope, you who enter
Or something to do with Dante's Inferno
