Chapter 4: Ghosts
The range of the flashlight was limited, so Professor Liu took a few steps forward and held up the flashlight, trying to see what was lying on the stone platform. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
However, the next moment, the faces of the five people present immediately changed, it was a mummy wrapped in a black bandage, and the only face exposed showed an extremely abnormal color, and the face was distorted to a very strange angle.
It is not reasonable to park the corpse at the entrance as a burial chamber, and it is even more strange that in such an environment, the corpse will not decay for thousands of years.
Professor Liu suddenly gestured to a few people to be quiet and listen carefully to the sounds around them.
There was silence all around, and a voice became clear, it was the sound of a heartbeat, with a metallic texture. Several eyes suddenly focused on the mummy, and at this time, the archaeologists' originally pale faces became even more bloodless.
Professor Liu's hands trembled slightly, and he kept gesticulating, motioning for Ye Chen to throw over some of the things in his backpack, no matter what the situation was now, it was best to take precautions first.
Ye Chen reached into his backpack with trembling hands, took out all the things that Professor Liu asked him to bring, and threw them at Professor Liu without looking at them.
Maybe it was because of fear, the accuracy was not very good, maybe they were unlucky, just a few steps away, Ye Chen threw things, not only did not throw them to Professor Liu, but they were thrown everywhere, even on the mummy wrapped in black bandages, and a few were also thrown on.
Professor Liu's already unsightly face became even more ugly, this kid is really not successful enough, and there is more than enough failure, but now there is no time to reprimand him, Professor Liu hurriedly looked at the stone platform.
The original clear audible, metallic heartbeat disappeared immediately, and the eyes of the mummy who was originally lying on the stone platform opened instantly, what kind of eyes were they? No pupils, no life, but flashing green and half-moon-like light, obviously not looking at you, but it makes people feel terrified.
"Quick, run!" Professor Liu said loudly, I don't know what it is, glutinous rice just now, black donkey hooves... It's not less on it, but it doesn't have the slightest effect, and the devil knows what can restrain it, and in this case, the best option is, run!
"Entrance, entrance is gone!" In a panic, someone went to look for the entrance, but only saw a complete stone wall.
The entrance seemed to have never appeared, and they appeared in this stone chamber out of thin air, and at this time, they had no way out.
Professor Liu never expected this to be the case, he knew that there would usually be an entrance on the opposite side, which was to enter the depths of the tomb, and he encountered such a thing as soon as he entered, Professor Liu did not want to continue to enter again, but the way out had already disappeared unconsciously, and now, they could only try their luck.
The mummy seemed to have just woken up, and his movements were a little sluggish, but when he waved his sharp and long black nails, several archaeologists still didn't dare to take it hard and dodged one after another, but there were still people who were caught with blood, and every claw was dripping with blood.
The mummy's very strange sound adds to the fear in people's hearts.
"Quick, go to the other side!" Professor Liu saw that the mummy's movements seemed to be getting faster and faster, and if this continued, they would be in a worrying situation.
However, after not running a few steps, he stepped on the air and fell into the darkness.
There were a few muffled sounds, and the ground under the feet of several people was originally flat, but there were holes in them, and they all fell into the darkness one by one.
He Yuxi didn't know if it was lucky or unlucky, she fell on the hard stone surface, and the bones in her body seemed to fall apart, and she couldn't move in pain.
In the dark, I don't know how long it took, the light of the flashlight was lit, illuminating everything around, someone let out a low cry, but it suddenly stopped abruptly, He Yuxi's pain in his body was slightly reduced at this time, and he could move slightly, and found that he seemed to be on a rather large stone platform, looking down, and couldn't help but gasp.
There was a corpse of different shapes lying on the ground, which looked like it was sleeping on the ground after a very tiring labor, and there were all kinds of tools scattered around it, and the appearance of the tools was very strange, and what was even more strange was that although its clothes were dirty and old, there were no traces of erosion by the years. It's as if, here, time has stopped, and everything is frozen in the moment of their death.
Because it is not far away from each other in the stone room, most of the places where they fell are not far away, Professor Liu looked at so many corpses lying on the ground in a mess, and after what happened just now, Xu is heart was more or less affected, and let a few people rest on the stone platform.
Professor Liu sat on the stone platform, panting, what they had experienced today not only made them, who advocate scientific archaeology, feel incredible, but also reached the limit of their endurance.
A few other people were dealing with the wounds, especially the place where the mummy had just scratched, maybe it would be poisonous!
"Strange, why is it not lit, there is no electricity!" Ye Chen was holding the flashlight, the light suddenly flickered a few times and went out, Ye Chen was about to change the flashlight, but, in the dark, a hand stopped his movements, "Look over there!" Professor Liu's voice was very low.
After seeing the scene over there, several people's eyes widened, their eyes full of disbelief, and Professor Liu even covered Ye Chen's mouth to prevent him from making any sound.
There, a flash of fire lit up, and a moment later a few more flashes of fire lit up, and the flames flickered, shining all around, dispelling the darkness.
In the light of the fire, they could clearly see that the people on the ground whom they had assumed to be corpses were crawling up one by one, and they were like people, picking up the tools that had been placed on the ground, as if to prepare for labor, and then, surrounded by a crowd of people, an old man was hobbling slowly. The old man seemed to be of high status, and when everyone looked at him, they looked at him with respect, and he was better dressed than the others.
The old man's lips moved slightly, as if he had said something, but the distance was too far to be heard, and then, several strong young men came out of the crowd, with excited faces, as if they were going to participate in an extremely grand and solemn ceremony.
Then, the crowd spontaneously lined up, led by the old man, and several young people followed with a strange tool, and the crowd followed several young people, all of whom walked towards the stone platform on this side with a reverent face.
The five people on the stone platform were startled, and then moved to the middle little by little, and then leaned close to the stone platform, it was best not to let these things that didn't know if they were humans or ghosts to find out, otherwise, according to the expressions on their faces, this stone platform must be very important to them, similar to a kind of belief, if they were discovered, what would be the consequences? No one thought about it, and they didn't dare to think about it.
