Chapter 344: The Curse of the Ruins
After returning to the hotel, Keller Bobile quickly helped Zhou Xiaolu open a room next to the room where Li Zedao lived, and the two had a simple meal in the restaurant on the second floor of the hotel, and after chatting for a while, they went back to their rooms to sleep.
The next day, under the arrangement of Keller Bobile, Zhou Xiaolu and her assistant got on a flight back to Huaxia, and they were followed back to China by two bodyguards arranged by Keller Bobile.
After sending Zhou Xiaolu back, Li Zedao returned to the hotel room, and after taking a comfortable bath, he watched a foreign entertainment show come with some boredom, but he didn't watch it for long, but the door was knocked gently.
Li Zedao casually threw the remote control aside, then walked to the door, opened the door, and saw Keller Bobiler standing outside the door with a slight bow.
"Young master, the archaeologist from Huaxia has arrived and stayed in room 1310 of this hotel. Keller Bobiler said, "Young Master now go over and meet?"
"Then let's go. Li Zedao nodded and said, Li Zedao was still more or less curious about the archaeologist who was about to meet this archaeologist from China and was a member of the United Nations Archaeological Association, of course, he was also very curious about the ancient ruins they wanted to investigate.
As for the treasure map about the sand thief king Abdullah given by the master, he was even more curious, Li Zedao didn't want the treasure worth tens of billions, he just saw first, what kind of spectacular scene it was when so many treasures were piled up there.
Of course, if you really find it, take it all, that's not realistic, but it's okay to take two pieces of gold or some kind of jewelry or something, right?
Following Keller Bobiler to the door of the 1310 room, Keller Bobil knocked on the door, and soon the door was opened, and a man in excellent spirits, with a ruddy face and a gold-rimmed glasses on his face, appeared there, looked at Keller Bobiler and smiled, "Hello, Mr. Bobiller." ”
"Hello, Mr. Lin, I have brought your assistant and bodyguard here. Keller Bobile.
"Thank you, Mr. Bobile. The man nodded, and said very politely, and then his eyes fell on Li Zedao, who was standing behind Keller Bobile, but his brows were slightly furrowed, this is the assistant and bodyguard arranged by the top for him? This is too young, isn't it? And how does it feel a little familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere.
"Then you get to know each other. Keller Bobil said, bowing slightly to Li Zedao before leaving.
"Hello, I'm Lin Zisen, from China, an archaeologist, and a professor at the School of Archaeology at Yenching University. Wu Kai stretched out his hand to Li Zedao and introduced himself, although he was surprised by the other party's youth, he still showed his enthusiasm, after all, in the next not too short a period of time, he and he will get along day and night.
"Hello Professor Wu, I'm Li Zedao. Li Zedao said with a slight smile, and reached over to shake him.
Li Zedao ...... Li Zedao?" Lin Zisen's eyes widened instantly, and he said in a lost voice, "Li Zedao, who is the top student in the national college entrance examination today, from the Phoenix City Academy of Fine Arts?"
Li Zedao was slightly stunned, and then said with a smile: "I am indeed from the Phoenix City Art College, but I don't know that I am the top student in the national college entrance examination...... Professor Wu knows me?"
As soon as the time is calculated, the results of the college entrance examination should also come out, although Li Zedao knows that it has long been an ironclad thing for him to become the top student in the college entrance examination, but when he should be modest, he is still modest, isn't it?
"How could he not know it?" The look of shock on Wu Kai's face had not faded, and he thought to himself, no wonder he looked a little familiar, but wasn't he a high-achieving student who was only eighteen years old and about to enter the university hall, how could he become the assistant and bodyguard of the platoon that helped him? This is incredible.
"When the principal of Beitang went to the American Concentration School to recruit you, I was also one of the followers. Lin Zisen explained, "It's just that your decision is really unexpected." ”
Of course, Lin Zisen was angry about Li Zedao's refusal of Principal Beitang's invitation, and even felt that this student was either a nerd or arrogant.
But now that I look at it, it is obvious that he has another layer of unknown identity, so his refusal to enter Yenching University is not too acceptable.
"I see. Li Zedao said with a smile a little embarrassed.
"Mr. Li, come in and talk about it. Lin Zisen smiled slightly and said, now he still has a good impression of this extremely excellent student, and then let go of his body.
"Professor Lin, just call me Zedao. Li Zedao nodded and said.
After entering Lin Zisen's room, Li Zedao sat down on the sofa, and Lin Zisen helped him bring him a cup of tea and said with a smile: "Zedao, there is nothing to entertain, only some Tieguanyin brought from Huaxia, you can taste it." ”
"Thank you, Professor Lin. Li Zedao hurriedly stretched out his hand and took a sip, although it was not as good as the tea he drank in his mother's villa, it was already good.
"Zedao, I have a question for you...... Of course, if it involves some ** or principled questions, you don't have to answer me. Lin Zisen said.
Li Zedao nodded slightly and said, "Professor Lin wants to ask if it is...... I'm a student, so why did the boss send me to be your assistant and bodyguard?"
"That's true. ”
Actually, Professor Lin must have guessed it. Li Zedao smiled slightly and said, "I actually have another layer of identity, to put it simply, I serve a certain department, because I happened to be on a mission in Amsterdam, so I was asked not to go back to Huaxia, and I waited for Professor Lin's arrival here, and I wouldn't be convenient to say anything else." ”
"I see. Lin Zisen nodded and said, but he didn't doubt him, of course, he was still a little curious about Li Zedao's true identity, but he also knew that there were some confidential things involved, so he didn't ask more.
"Oh, by the way, Professor Lin, what's going on with that ruin?" Li Zedao asked with some curiosity after taking a sip of tea.
"You don't know?" Lin Zisen asked as he looked at Li Zedao with some curiosity.
Li Zedao smiled slightly bitterly and said: "I just finished another mission, and I was told to come to see Professor Lin again, and the boss didn't tell me much, but just told me that Professor Lin is a member of the United Nations Archaeological Association, and this time he was invited to visit a monument in the desert of Egypt, and asked me to assist and protect Professor Lin throughout the process, and I didn't mention much else." ”
"I see. Lin Zisen stretched out his hand to hold the gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose and said, "Here's the thing, about a month ago, a ruin suddenly appeared out of thin air in the big desert in Egypt, according to preliminary estimates, the ruins should have been buried deep in the yellow sand, but I don't know why it resurfaced." ”
"When the Egyptian side saw the ruins appear, they hurriedly sent experts to investigate. As he spoke, Lin Zisen's expression became a little serious, "But in the end, those who were sent to investigate suddenly lost contact with the ruins when they arrived at the ruins. ”
"Both...... Dead?" asked Li Zedao, who was slightly stunned.
"It's true that something has happened. Lin Zisen nodded and said, "Their bodies were found on a sand dune a hundred meters away from the ruins, and the strange thing is that they don't have any fatal injuries on their bodies, and the strange thing is that they all seem to have aged overnight......
"Getting old?" Li Zedao frowned.
"Yes, getting old. Lin Zisen said with a look of incomprehension, "Those experts who were sent were the oldest only fifty years old, and the youngest was thirty years old, but their corpses were all very old, as if they were ten years old, if it weren't for their documents still on their bodies, and their faces vaguely looked a little like, and finally confirmed through DNA that those old corpses were the captors who were sent to investigate the ruins, otherwise, no one would dare to believe that such a strange thing would happen." ”
"What is the cause of death?" Li Zedao asked with a frown.
"Because of aging, the body naturally loses its functions, leading to death. Lin Zisen said.
Li Zedao listened, inexplicably had a creepy feeling, and he found that how could such a death be so similar to the sequelae brought by the ghost pill?
According to the master, the first Onimaru was called Onimaru Zero, and the sequelae was that the human body would age instantly, and finally die, and later after improvement, the later Onimaru No. 1 and Onimaru No. 2 appeared, of course, whether it was the sequelae brought by No. 1 or No. 2, it was still the same, but the aging was controlled within a certain range, instead of instantaneous aging, and then the body functions were completely lost instantly.
Could it be that the deaths of the experts who went to investigate had something to do with Onimaru, or rather, something like Onimaru?
It's just that since the person is already dead, why do this Lin Zisen and other members of the United Nations Archaeological Association dare to go? They are not afraid of death?
After that, the Egyptians sent a few more men into the ruins, but without exception, they lost contact again. Lin Zisen continued, "When the body was finally found outside the ruins, its death and cause of death were the same as those before them, so no one dared to approach the ruins, and many locals believed that there was a curse in the ruins, similar to the curse of the Pharaohs. ”
