Chapter 14: The Man Who Holds the Punishment

――Tong Shino Art Museum――

"30 minutes to go......"

The game sits by a pillar in front of the museum, his eyes glancing at his watch from time to time.

There are less than 30 minutes left before the end of the exhibition and the closing of the museum, and he can get his millennium bricks back at the end of the exhibition.

He couldn't wait to feel the cold metallic texture of the millennium building block in his hand again.

……

"Hey, hey, hey......"

The main sponsor of the exhibition, sits in a swivel chair in his office, admiring an inverted pyramid-shaped gold pendant.

It was a thousand-year-old brick "borrowed" from Muto Games.

"Great, through this exhibition, not only did I succeed in making a name for myself, but I also got this mysterious royal treasure, and if I sold it, I would definitely become the most famous archaeological dealer in Japan."

"Soon I will be able to control the smuggling of antiques in East Asia......"

"Buckle up."

"Mr. Kanakura, may I come in?"

Sounds like the guy who negotiated the price before.

"Oh! Come on in. ”

Kanecang leaned closer to his fat face and carefully observed every texture on the thousand-year-old bricks.

"I paid a lot of money this time to seal the mouths of those little ghosts, what price are you going to give this thousand-year-old block?"

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

"Huh?" After no response for a long time, Kanecang raised his head in confusion, and then showed a frightened expression.

What appeared in front of him was not the person he had imagined, but a dark-skinned man in a white robe and a scarf.

"You! Who are you!? Jin Cang wanted to stand up in a hurry, but because his fat body was temporarily trapped in the seat, the millennium building blocks had already rolled off his hands and fell on the table, he looked at the Egyptian man in front of him, and always had a feeling that the other party was not a living being.

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

The Egyptians looked at the golden warehouse with emotionless eyes.

After a long time, he slowly confided his meaning from his mouth: "I am the tomb guard blood clan three thousand years ago......"

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Messenger of Anubis. ”

The messenger of Anubis? Isn't that the messenger of death in Egyptian mythology and legend!?

"Because of your filthy desires, you have offended the majesty of the Valley of the Kings, and the body of the king will never be at peace...... So ......"

He held out his hand.

Jin Cang just had time to notice that the other party was actually holding a gold scale in his left hand.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ I'm going to sanction you. ”

The gold scale slammed onto the table, and the trays on both sides shook slowly, then gradually returned to balance.

The Egyptian removed a feather from the scarf and gently placed it on a tray.

"As you can see, on one side of the tray are feathers that barely weigh anything, and on the other side ...... Nothing; From now on, I will ask your heart the truest of all kinds. ”

"If you lie, your sins will appear on this empty tray......"

"You should know that, right...... What happens to you when the tray is pressed against the tabletop by a heavy load. ”

The Egyptian looked at the other party's increasingly frightened ugly face with a blank expression, and continued the procedure of this trial: "The first question ......"

……

"That bastard Keipyeong, you've delayed me so much!"

In the empty corridor, a girl with long white hair was running fast, no need to ask, it was Li Bai......

[Mystery of the Millennium-Mandatory Mission] Witness the contact between the Tomb Guardian Bloods and the Pharaoh's Spirit, and eliminate all unstable factors in it. During this mission, the player/contractor is not allowed to travel within twenty meters of the Tomb Guardian Chardy and the Millennium Brick. Any one of them fails: Erase.

"System, I call your sister!" The girl scolded in her heart!

Everyone else relies on the development of the plot to make a profit, why do I have to work thanklessly to promote the plot...... And there is no reward, there is no reward, and if you fail, you will die......

[This is the consequence of the player/contractor's own actions, and before the end of the first chapter, the consequences and corrections must be borne by the player/contractor]

"Huhu~ It seems that this is the price of changing the plot?"

The lion wizard had a lewd expression on his face.

"Wait...... Call...... When this incident is over, I'm going to have to cut your tail off! Li Bai ran out of breath, and the most important thing to complete the task was to determine the location of the game and Xia Di in advance, but the original book only depicted the head of the office

She didn't know what it was like, she didn't know the route she was traveling!

And according to this fucking quest prompt...... The game's road before meeting Chardy may not be as smooth sailing as in the comics, and she has to take precautions.

"Ahhh It's annoying, it's annoying! ”

Li Bai felt like he was about to be driven crazy by a labyrinth-like fork in the road!

"Hey, there's a scream in that direction...... "The lion wizard tilted his head and pointed at the road on the left." Do you want to check it out? ”

And at the same time, the game standing at the door is already a little impatient.

"Although it's not yet the time for the official retreat, it's not more than a few minutes away, and now that the museum is gone, I guess Mr. Kanakura shouldn't care, right?"

Thinking about this, the game stopped waiting any longer, and planned to go to the amiable-looking fat merchant to get his treasure back.

====================

"Stop! Stop! I'll pay you! You ......"

Kanakura gulped in the turbid air, and the swivel chair was pushed far away from the table for fear of being pushed into it, and he was still deep in it, and it seemed that he didn't have the strength to get out of it.

On the table, the tray of gold had touched the ground.

The half-bald head was covered with sweat, and Jin Cang couldn't understand how he could see with his own eyes that the man in front of him hadn't done anything, why did the empty tray sink little by little with the question and answer?

"Enough!" Xia Di looked at this man with a cold face who was filthy in his bones.

"There's nothing real in the room you have in mind."

"All are the fruit of desire."

"Look at your seat, sinner."

"W......" Kanecang looked at his swivel chair with a shudder, only to find that the off-hands on either side of it were slowly twisting and softening.

The leather-wrapped cushions began to bulge, swell, and to his horrified gaze transformed into a monster with a giant crocodile mouth; The monster's two claws broke free from the armrests, pressed the golden warehouse to the seat, and it opened it

The big mouth full of sharp teeth slowly bit down on his head!

"Ahh

"It's over there!"

Li Bai was startled when she heard the clear wail, which seemed to come from around the corner, which showed that she should be very close to Xia Di.

The girl checked the distance of the task and showed that it was 4 meters.

…… Could it be a little too close?

I seemed to be worried about something before I came......

"Click." The sound of the doorknob turning.

Not good! Shady is coming out!

In desperation, she had no choice but to rush into the emergency escape vent.

Looking at the white-robed figure walking in front of her, Li Bai wiped his sweat; When the other party gradually disappeared around the corner, she quickly got out again and began to run along another road.

The 20-meter limit was still there, and she had to use this stupid method to make a detour to the place where the other party was about to meet the game and squat.

I really don't know what the system is trying to do with this kind of task? There's no time to protect the game now, but I hope he doesn't have any problems on the way......

The girl is indeed overwhelmed.

In order to keep it secret, Kanecang evacuated the employees in the gate in advance when he was about to close the retreat, so the game was unimpeded along the way, and it was very smooth for him to meet Xia Di again.

Li Bai learned to be obedient this time, she just observed the distance prompt given by the system to stand, and there were at least two bends between her and the center of the incident, and the possibility of being discovered was greatly reduced.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ You're the boy who saw me before. ”

Chardy looked at the game and didn't understand why she was able to meet each other at this point in time.

"Uh...... You may not know, but I'd like to ask...... Have you ever seen Mr. Irikura? "The game seems to have encountered the same problem as Li Bai - because the complicated route was confused, and this Egyptian was the one he had just come in and touched

The first person who arrived, no matter how awkward it was, now only this person can ask and see......

"He's probably so tall, and he's fat......" As if afraid that the other party wouldn't understand, the game said while reaching out his hand to Chardy: "I borrowed one of my own things for him to exhibit in this exhibition, oh...... By the way, it's a pendant, it looks like it has

It's like an upside-down pyramid......"

The game didn't know that his detailed description made Xia Di's heart like a lightning flash, the leader of the blood clan could no longer maintain that rock-like face at this moment, he stared at the young man in front of him with wide eyes, full of disbelief.

The thousand-year-old bricks that I got from that sinner were actually completed by this teenager!?

But why can't I see any difference in him until now...... Those who possess thousand-year-old treasures must have the same incredible abilities as me, the Tomb Guard.

What do I think...... He's just an ordinary teenager with a good heart.

Okay, let me use the power of the Millennium Key to check his heart!

"That...... Mr? ”

The game looked at each other suspiciously, and didn't answer anything, so he didn't know what it meant, right?

It's nerve-wracking, if you can't find Mr. Kanecang, how can you retrieve the millennium building blocks......

In the game's view, the act of making eye contact with the Egyptian man was just a moment.

But for the other "three", a long, long time has passed......

……

……

Xia Di stood on the corridor of the [new house], looking at the scene in front of her in disbelief.

There are two doors in the cloister.

A half-open door filled with scattered toys represents the innocent inner world of the owner of the room.

"This room should belong to that young man......"

Xia Di closed her eyes and turned to look at another door - the door was closed, and you could see that its material was full of metallic texture, and there was a "real eye" carved on the door, which was no different from the one on the thousand-year scale, with countless twisted lines from the fourth of the door

Faces converge on the "Eye of Truth", making the door look eerie and mysterious.

Xia Di was a little hesitant, he was not sure how this door existed, he had judged countless sinners in his long life, and went to the inner world of various people, but no one had ever had two "atrium" in his heart like this.

"Huh? Wrong! ”

"This door is moving!?"

Little by little, the door slid inward.

The light from the half-open room on the opposite side slowly shone into the dark room, revealing the boy in the center of the room who at first glance looked like a game.

"Oh, it's a rare thing to have someone visit my room."

Half of the dark game figure is hidden in the shadows, and half of the face exposed to the light is a smile that is not a smile.

"Hey, hey, hey...... Come in, if you have the courage. ”

"There's a 'game' waiting for you here!"
