Chapter 202 God's World(1/2)

"I've been dreaming of this moment since I was a kid."

The thought of seeing the mummy freshly released from the coffin right away was like a star-chasing fan to Evelyn, who was obsessed with ancient Egypt, seeing her idol up close at the scene. Her excitement was palpable. Without similar experiences, it would be difficult to understand her.

O'Connor, who was in a bad mood at this time, had a weird look on his face.

"Your dreams are about dead people?"

Ignoring O'Connor's teasing, Evelin was focused on the sarcophagus at this time.

"You see, his holy law has been chiseled away." She observed and explained to the two people beside her, "This man will be cursed not only in this life, but also in the next life."

"What a pity." O'Connor concluded.

"Yes, it makes people cry." Jonathan concluded in the same way, put the treasure box into the mechanism, and started to rotate.

Neither of them followed Evelin's words. It was obvious that they had no desire to continue exploring. After glancing at the two of them, they realized that they were playing tricks on Evelin, who looked disappointed. Finally,

No more words. At this time, Jonathan had already turned the treasure box several times. Seeing that the mechanism was no longer struggling, he looked at O'Connor on the other side of the sarcophagus.

"Now... how about we see who's inside?" he gestured.

As he said that, he put his hand on the coffin lid. O'Connor understood and made the same move. Seeing the two people preparing to remove the coffin lid, Evelin couldn't help but put away all her thoughts and focused on looking at the coffin that was about to be opened.

Sarcophagus.

The two of them gritted their teeth, and the next second the coffin lid fell to the ground. Suddenly, a skull with a ferocious face appeared, frightening the unsuspecting three people into screaming at the same time.

"Oh my god, I hate how they look like this!"

After regaining her composure, Evelin was furious, she had been really frightened just now.

"Does he look normal?"

O'Connor, who knew a little bit about ancient Egypt, still knew a little bit of common sense - a mummy is a mummy wrapped in a shroud. However, the skeleton in front of him was not even covered with a shroud, as it should have been wrapped in it.

There was only a remnant of the cloth stuck to the coffin. More importantly, the skin and flesh on the bones were all withered, but they had not been weathered and dried. They still looked wet and slimy, which looked particularly weird.

"No, I've never seen a mummy like this." After coming back to her senses, Evelin also discovered something was wrong, "He's still... still..."

“Very fresh.”

O'Connor and Jonathan said this most appropriate word for Evelin in unison, although it was a bit nauseating to use it on corpses. So, when they said this word, both of them looked a little weird.

"Yes." Evelin's expression was more doubtful, "He must have been dead for more than three thousand years, but he doesn't seem to be...completely corrupted yet."

"Look."

While Evelin was speaking, O'Connor saw something strange about the coffin lid on the ground again. Under his guidance, the three of them turned to look at the coffin lid. On the inside of it, on the side facing upwards, there were one after another.

Elongated scratches.

"How do you explain this?" O'Connor asked, things were getting more and more weird.

"Oh my god, these marks are... made by fingernails. This man was imprisoned alive. He also left a message." She looked at the scratches, then turned to look at the corpse, and finally looked at the body.

Towards the edge of the scratch, there is a line of hieroglyphics with deep marks, "Death is just the beginning."

The weird mausoleum, the weird burial ground, the weird sarcophagus, the weird corpses, and finally, these weird words. An inexplicable chill came to my heart. The three of them were stunned and turned to look at the horrifying figure.

The mummy was silent for a long time.

In contrast, the four people in the stone chamber above were all full of expectations at this time. Inside the wooden box, there was a black scripture made of unknown metal. The cover had the same sun pits as on the sarcophagus. It was archaeologically discovered.

The scientist holds it carefully in his hands.

"Oh my god, it really exists. This is the Black Book of the Dead." He sighed, staring at the book closely, looking at every detail, as if he had found a treasure.

"A book?" The man in dark clothes was a little impatient, "Who cares about the book? Where is the treasure?"

"Gentlemen, this book... it is a treasure!" the archaeologist explained, his eyes never leaving the book.

"Don't come here, I won't even give it to me..."

Cowboys are rough people with shallow vision. Naturally, they don't know the artistic value of this book like archaeologists, and what kind of treasure it is in the eyes of real connoisseurs. But the blond man who followed him didn't know yet.

After complaining, he accidentally kicked open another compartment of the wooden box. Only then did they realize that there was a treasure in the wooden box, and he stopped talking.

They looked inside the compartment. There, there were five burial urns that seemed to be carved from jade and inlaid with gold. Except for one broken lid with a lion's head carved on it, there were four human heads, eagle heads, jackal heads, and baboon heads.

All the burial urns were intact. One to one, there were exactly four small jars belonging to the four people present.

"That's your treasure." The archaeologist said perfunctorily.

Of course he knows what the real treasure is. At the same time, he also knows how simple the ideas contained in the severely reduced brain capacity of these cowboys are. If what he is holding at this moment is the golden Golden Sun Book, then there is no need for these few

In the burial urn, the cowboys had long been eager to discuss how to split the golden scriptures. He had already figured out the cowboys' thoughts. When he saw the gold on the burial urn, he made sure not to mention the book anymore.

Who wouldn’t be happy to secretly monopolize a real treasure without knowing it?

"Finally something gained."

The cowboys laughed, and their irritable moods calmed down. The archaeologists expected it to be true, and things like discerning pearls with an eye have nothing to do with cowboys.

The visit to the tomb continued, but as the day passed, Benny's side finally made no new discoveries. The progress of the three O'Connors' visit to the tomb was even more dismal, and the only gain was that they were frightened for no reason.

This was the second night in the camp. The two parties were not only connected to each other in the camp, but also had contacts with each other, and finally stayed together.

Evelin walked around a corner and was counting the beetle remains in her hands. When she passed the archaeologist, she saw the Black Book of the Dead in his arms from the corner of her eye. She couldn't help but stop and her eyes were attracted to the book.

.She recognized it. It was the Black Book of the Dead, which is as famous as the Golden Book of the Sun.

The archaeologist who was struggling to break off the cover of the scriptures and try to open the scriptures inadvertently raised his head and saw Evelin staring at the scriptures. He glared back. He subconsciously withdrew his gaze, and after pondering for a moment, her eyes lit up, and again

He turned to look at the scripture. This time, the archaeologist nervously held the scripture in his arms, indicating that he was its owner.

"You need a key to open that book."

Evelin noticed the sun dents on the cover of the scriptures and left this meaningless sentence. Then, when the confused archaeologist turned his attention to the scriptures, she immediately turned around and walked away.

.Staying here was suspected of coveting other people's treasures, so she left immediately.

In front of a campfire, O'Connor, Benny and Jonathan sat side by side, warming themselves up in boredom. They had gained nothing today.

"How much do you think these treasures can be sold for?"

On the side, a blond man came over, separated by the fire, and sat opposite O'Connor. As he spoke, he shook the burial urn in his hand, with a proud look on his face.

"I heard that you found a fresh mummy." The man with glasses followed closely behind, sitting next to the blond man, with the same smile on his face, "Congratulations."

The man in dark clothes sat down behind him and joked: "If you dry it in the sun, you can sell it as firewood."

After saying that, the three cowboys couldn't help but burst into laughter. They went to explore a buried treasure place together. They picked up treasures while others picked up rubbish. In comparison, it was obvious that their luck was better, so why were they unhappy? The fight on the surface had subsided.

Even though they were still working together at night, the two parties seemed to be inseparable, but in fact they still secretly had a desire to compare. At least, this was what these three cowboys had.

O'Connor followed with a fake smile for a while. These guys who got cheap and behaved well, didn't come here to show off, what else could they do? He had seen this kind of thing and this kind of people so many times that he didn't take it to heart at all.

.

"Look what I found?"

Evelin's voice came from the side, and O'Connor turned to look at Benny: "You took her seat."

Benny sneered, a little embarrassed. O'Connor, who had been polite just a moment ago, suddenly became merciless.

"stand up."

"yes."

In response, he immediately stood up and sat aside, making way for Evelin who had just come over. Faced with O'Connor's intimidation, he chose to follow his heart without hesitation.

"The skeleton of a scarab is a carnivorous insect." Before Evelin could sit down, she couldn't help but excitedly showed everyone her harvest - the remains of the beetle in her hand, "I found it in his coffin.

This insect feeds on corpses and can live for several years. Our poor friend was still alive when he was eaten."

After the words fell, everyone looked over, and they were shocked by what Evelin said.

"So someone threw these worms in there and let them be eaten slowly?" O'Connor said.

"Very slowly." Evelin said

"He must have been set up because he was unpopular." Jonathan said.

"You're probably too close to the Pharaoh's daughter," O'Connor joked.

After some banter, the topic became more and more distorted. Obviously, they did not want to delve into such scary things. As he said that, O'Connor looked at the three serious-faced cowboys opposite him, and his eyes told them not to make a fuss. Unfortunately,

There was another person present who was willing to continue this topic.

Listening to O'Connor's joke, Evelin smiled and continued: "As far as I know, this kind of punishment is called 'insect bite'. It is the most vicious curse in ancient Egypt, used to deal with heinous sinners. I have never

I have never heard of this curse being carried out."

"So powerful?"

O'Connor looked weird, and he was almost at a loss for words. Not to mention the other people, especially the three cowboys, looked even more ugly. They remembered what the archaeologist had said, and at this time, they felt a little bit afraid of the unknown.

.

"Yes, they... they don't execute it because they are worried about the consequences. The book says that once sinners who are 'worm-eaten' are resurrected, they will bring about the ten major disasters in Egypt."

In no man's land, campfire night talks, and horror stories are told. Who wouldn't be afraid? What's more terrible is that this is not fabricated, but the history they are witnessing at this time. Furthermore, this is not an ordinary deserted place.

It is a human area, but the place where stories of ghosts and ghosts take place, the legendary city of the dead, Hamna Tower. There are countless corpses and innocent souls buried underneath, and a considerable number of them are explorers who came here to hunt for treasures like them.
To be continued...
