Chapter 509 - Hands-on (Asking for Subscriptions, Asking for Collections, Asking for Tickets)
Ryan told Evelyn that the preparations weren't particularly complicated, and that by the evening they had moved everything they needed to the ground. These include the box containing Immorton's entrails that were first dug up, the box containing the Golden Sutra of the Sun found at the foot of the Sun God Sculpture, and finally the sarcophagus containing Immorton's mummy from the foot of the Death Sculpture.
"What is this?" asked Evelyn, looking at the half-bottle of bright red liquid that Ryan had handed over, as she had seen Ryan and Hermione fill half of the bottle in a silver cup, and then each of them drank it in one gulp.
"Doping. Ryan explained, "There are some things we need to do overnight, and if all goes well, we'll be able to get rid of the possible curse tomorrow at 12 noon." ”
Throughout the following night, Ryan and the others built a three-story circular altar more than two people high. Then put the sarcophagus that was about to condense into substance in the black smoke above the altar in the perspective of Ryan's heavenly eye, and then opened the space door and took out a sack of sunlight crystals and began to inlay it on the altar. In order to avoid a demon-triggered reaction, the process had to be entirely manual, so except for Jill, who might induce the guy in the coffin to come back to life after coming out, the five of them were busy all night and half a morning before the entire altar was inlaid.
"That's not a gem. You don't have to put it in your pocket. After watching Jonathan sit down for a moment, Ryan said helplessly, "If you really like it, I can give you a pocket, but please don't deduct it from this anymore, this is related to the life of each of us for a while." ”
After inspecting the altar, Ryan ordered the robot to dig eight large pits around the altar in an east-west-north-south direction, and then filled them all with 30 cubic meters of sunlight crystals.
"Alright, now for the final step, we need to open this coffin and expose the mummy inside, which is the source of the curse, to the natural environment. Seeing that the sun in the sky was about to climb to the highest place, Ryan said to everyone.
In his previous life, Ryan saw that many of his fellow travelers came to this world, but they all resurrected Immorton without exception, and then they fought with Immorton in various ways, and finally had to pay a lot of money to kill Immorton. In the process, Immorton also caused ten plagues that killed a large number of innocent people.
Ryan couldn't understand how these peers knew how the plot could bring this guy back to life, knowing that although his love story was sympathetic. But after 3,000 years of torture, Immorton has completely turned into a wicked wraith. From the story, it can be seen that he basically doesn't treat people as human beings, and slaughters those innocent people at will. And in the face of such a guy, Ryan felt that it was the best choice to completely eliminate him.
So this time Ryan found himself in this world and simply chose a solution once and for all, before he had kept the key in the space bag on his body. I don't know if it's the reason for the will of other world planes, but under the influence of the consciousness of the great universe, Evelyn was able to get the key to recite the resurrection spell no matter what, and he didn't encounter it, so naturally now Immorton still stayed quietly in his coffin and didn't come out.
After Ryan greeted, the five people walked up the steps on the altar to the altar, Ryan took out the key from the space bag and opened it and looked at it, and then stuffed it in according to the hexagonal groove on the coffin, and twisted it, and there was a small clicking sound in the coffin, which meant that the mechanism inside was opened.
"Let's see what the source of this curse is. Ryan said as he and Hermione put the bubble head charm on everyone, and then the four of them lifted the lid of the coffin together.
"It's, it can't be. Evelyn exclaimed in surprise when she saw what was inside the coffin. Because although the mummy lying in the coffin has a big hole in its head and a large open mouth, it is not at all the dry appearance that it should be. Instead, the skin and muscles are only slightly decayed, and most of the rest of the body remains intact.
"Not true. Even though Hermione didn't know much about archaeology, after following Ryan to see a lot of death in so many worlds, she found that the corpse in front of her was more like it had died in less than a month, rather than three thousand years old.
At this point, Jonathan poked his head over and tried to find possible gold, silver, jewelry, and burial goods in the coffin, only to be disappointed to find that there was nothing here. However, after a closer search, he found that the inside side of the lid of the coffin that had been lifted off had many long marks deep in the wooden planks. "What is this?"
"Human finger marks. Ryan gestured with his hand over the lid of the coffin and said, "Considering that this mummy was not wrapped in linen and that a little of the decomposing ash of linen was found in the corner of the coffin, we can deduce that this mummy was put into the coffin alive." That's why I put the linen off my body in the struggle. ”
As soon as the words fell, everyone on the altar gasped. Even if Ryan and Hermione had blood on their hands, as Ryan thought, killing people was too much, and it was too much to kill like this.
"And that's not all. Ryan said as he pulled out the bones of several black bugs from the ashes at the bottom of the coffin, "This is some kind of carnivorous beetle, and not only did they keep this person alive in the coffin, but they also poured carnivorous beetles into it. ”
"Punishment for insect devouring. Evelyn recognized exactly what was going on when she looked at the situation. This was one of the most vicious and unstoppable curses of ancient Egypt, and it was never recorded that they had ever used this punishment, because the legend had it that those who received it would be resurrected and bring great calamity to the whole of Egypt. ”
Speaking of this, Evelyn turned her head to look at Ryan and Hermione with an ugly expression and asked, "So, he is the source of the curse you are talking about, if he is a person who has been punished by worms, he is indeed worthy of being called a great evil." ”
"Death is just the beginning. Hermione also recognized the meaning of the ancient Egyptian words carved by Immorton on the coffin lid with her fingers, and she looked at Ryan and said. "Will he, like us, come back from the dead?"
"Also?" Jonathan, who was standing by with nothing to do at this time, heard Hermione's words, and then looked at Ryan and Hermione with shocked eyes, but Ryan ignored his gaze and said to Evelyn, "Okay, now we have to perform a magic ritual to completely eliminate evil." You and your brother are just ordinary people, and I suggest you better retreat out of the ruins. ”
"Okay. Evelyn nodded, and turned to leave with her brother, while Rose Crystal followed them to protect them. But the two men did not go far, but after walking some distance out of the outermost wall, they stood behind some pile of sand and looked in the direction of the altar with binoculars.
Ryan noticed this, but he didn't say anything. Instead, Hermione went to the bottom of the altar and opened the two boxes containing the scriptures, and then moved the urns containing Ansuna's entrails to the mummy of the altar.
"Do you feel it?" Ryan asked Hermione after placing the two scriptures, one left and one right, on either side of the altar.
"I feel it. Hermione nodded. "We were marked by a hint of death when we first opened the chest, but with our strength we could easily erase it. ”
"No need to erase it. "Now you try to use the power of death to attract all the things that also smell of death in this ruin, and I can clean them up together in a moment." ”
Hermione nodded, then gestured with both hands, and soon a faint black mist flowed from her fingertips, down the ground and towards the ruins. Soon after, there was a rustling sound from underground.
