Volume 1 The Prince of Tomb Robbers I. It's gone
My name is Shak, and I'm a courier, a glorious courier from the East.
Just the year before last, on Double 11, I sent out an express, which was the last one, and this was the event that completely changed my fate and triggered a series of incredible things.
I'll start at the beginning.
I remember it was a cold day, and the wind was already cold in early winter.
The city where I live is located at the junction of the three eastern provinces and the North China Plain, so the night falls early, and winter comes early.
By the time the last shipment arrived, my e-bike was running out of power.
Looking at the address, the distance is relatively close, and there is no need to drive a motorcycle over, so I decided to walk.
After locking the car, I picked up the parcel and walked east along Linyuan Road.
Thinking that this is the last piece of the day, and that I will soon be able to leave work, I am in a good mood and my steps have become extraordinarily powerful.
It's not bragging, when we were in middle school, but the school's athletes, the 100-meter speed was quite powerful, and the average student wanted to catch up with me.
Soon, I found the "Golden Deer Building".
When the security guard of the building saw that I was familiar and wearing bright work clothes, he nodded and let me in.
I walked into the elevator and pressed the button on the nineteenth floor.
The elevator started smoothly without pause and went straight to the nineteenth floor.
I feel like everything is going well today, and my mood is getting better!
The moment the elevator door opened, a fair lady suddenly appeared in front of me, which made me stunned for a moment.
She was wearing a suit and a short skirt, and her two thin legs were eye-catching.
She glanced at me and raised her head haughtily.
I couldn't help but take a step back and let her go into the elevator.
As soon as she turned around, I was about to step out when the elevator door suddenly closed.
Then, the elevator shook and the lights went out.
The beautiful woman crashed into my arms and screamed......
Then, everything fell silent, and it was pitch black......
Then, I felt like I was floating in the air......
The beauty was long gone, and I didn't even feel like I existed.
Suddenly, I felt a tingling pain, but no matter how big my eyes were, I couldn't see anything, I just felt that they were drifting......
In the haze, I saw a faint light.
Then, a figure loomed and some voices were heard.
The voice grew clearer, but I couldn't make out what was being said.
It's not Chinese at all, and it's not like English.
Where did I drift to, could it be that the elevator crashed, I floated to the underworld, and heard the ghost whispers of the underworld?
My feet finally hit the ground.
A man was standing in front of me, but I couldn't make out his face.
I shudder a little at the thought that it was most likely a ghost.
But after thinking about it, I'm afraid I'm also a ghost, and when a ghost sees a ghost, what else is there to be afraid of!
The man was facing me on his side, holding something in one hand.
It emits light, like a lamp.
He turned his head suddenly, startling me.
The man wore a beanie hat with a wavy rim that covered his forehead.
He had a scruffy beard and his face was covered in mud.
In addition to these dirts, on the whole, this person is not very ugly, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and he looks like a normal person.
I finally breathed a sigh of relief, it seems that ghosts are not so scary and not worth being overly afraid.
The ghost yelled at me and reached out a hand to tear at my clothes.
In the dim light, I saw that my clothes were very special, and they were not a certain Dong's workwear at all.
I had a row of copper buttons on my chest, and my tunic was long and hung down below my knees.
Could it be that when you enter the Netherworld, you will automatically change your clothes? I wonder a little.
I was torn apart by the man, staggering in his footsteps.
We walked through the dimly lit cave-like passages.
The air was damp and smelled musty.
At this moment, a figure appeared in front of him.
The man carried a long stick in his hand, one end of which was bent like a sickle.
They were talking, but I couldn't understand a word.
The two men were very close.
That's when I realized that I had a package on my back.
The package was almost empty, so I didn't feel it at first.
The three of us are at a T-junction.
I finally understood that they were most likely determining the direction of walking.
Where are they going to take me, are they going to see the judges of hell?
Then, where will I go, and will I still have a job?
At this moment, I really want to have a plate of hot dumplings and stick them with Shanxi old vinegar.
I'm a little homesick, I miss my mom, and that newborn little nephew.
I was so sad that I couldn't stop crying.
At this time, a voice seemed to come from under his feet.
It is the voice of a man and a woman talking, the man is old and vigorous, and the woman is clear and pleasant.
Although I was sure that they were not speaking a language that I knew, I was able to hear every word and every word, and I could understand it!
"He's coming, one hundred and twenty-eight years of waiting, he's finally here!" the male voice said.
"Did you finally do it? I don't see it yet. The female voice said.
"The bad things that Sorontuo has done can be stopped, because he is the man, the person we are looking for!" said the man.
"I don't see his future, but he can guide him, and I want to try to ......," the woman said.
"Okay, I'll turn him this way. The man said.
In my ignorance, I turned and walked into a straight passage, and the two people who were in front of me could no longer be seen.
The light is getting a little brighter.
In a trance, I looked up and saw a row of lights burning on top of the lampstand.
The lampstand is curved like a long snake, mottled with mottled tops, which reminds me of the bronzes from ancient times in the museum.
The hard, iron-hard stone walls are bumpy and uneven, and some damp fungal plants are scattered on them.
I felt the stone wall, tentatively walked in, passed through a low door, and walked in.
"Look here, my child. A voice said so.
I could hear it being the man's voice.
Out of self-preservation, I subconsciously took a step back, only to find that the door behind me was gone.
The trepidation forced me to cling to the wall, trying to find a way out.
The whole space was filled with a musty smell, and the sound of falling water was clearly audible.
"Don't be afraid, my child, I won't hurt you. "He tried to comfort me.
I stopped.
"Take a step forward and you'll see me. He said.
I mustered up my courage and took a step forward, and sure enough, I saw a dark shadow standing about twenty meters away from me.
However, I soon noticed something creepy: a coffin-like object was placed next to a dark shadow.
The coffin was square and not small, the size of a car.
"Who are you?" I asked.
To my own astonishment, the words I asked were in the same strange language, as if it could be spoken and had already penetrated into my brain.
"Very well, you dared to speak. He said, "Well, then I'll tell you who I really am." My name is Oruman Akdin, and people often call me 'Grand Duke Aktin'. ”
I didn't understand what "Grand Duke" meant, and thought his name was "Grand Duke of Actin", but I later learned that "Grand Duke" was a title that showed that he was a nobleman, and a nobleman of high status.
I didn't squeak, because I didn't care what kind of grand duke he was, but how I could escape.
When the man saw that I was indifferent, he came near to me.
Gradually, I was able to see his appearance clearly.
The figure floated in the air, like a ghost.
His whole body was wrapped in black smoke, and his face loomed.
He has a high forehead, a straight nose, deep-set eye sockets, and a thick beard that is eye-catching.
His countenance reminds me of foreign sculptures, figures like Michelangelo.
He has slender limbs and holds a cane in his left hand.
"Listen to me, my child, I have no intention of harming you. "He stopped more than three meters away from me.
At this time, we came face to face.
I could clearly see that above his head, there was a cloud that changed shape from time to time.
Sometimes it looks like a flower, sometimes it looks like a bird, sometimes it looks like a beast......
His eyes shone brightly, and his eyes seemed to be able to penetrate people's hearts.
"Saurontuo would never have imagined that more than a hundred years later, there would be a person like you who would destroy all his efforts. Actin said.
"Who's Soronto?" I couldn't help but ask.
"He's the one you're going to have to face sooner or later, someone who's dead, but ready to be resurrected at any moment. Actin said.
"Why should I face him?" I asked.
"Because he killed me, and I found you. Because of this, he has to kill you. If you want to live, you must listen to me. ”
His reasoning seems quite logical.
I was happy, it turned out that I was not dead, I was still alive.
However, according to the meaning of his words, he is already dead, and that is a ghost.
If I were alive, how could I talk to ghosts.
"Am I still alive?" I asked.
"Of course you're alive!" he replied.
"You mean, if I don't listen to you, I'll be killed by that Thronto?" I asked.
"I came to you to give you a new life. Your future will be bright, and everything depends on your own choices. ”
His words are demagogic, but I need to think about it.
Obviously, he didn't want to give me too much time to think about it.
He said, "I will send my daughter to guide you." In the future, she will guide you on how to act, how to speak, and how to behave. ”
I thought of the female voice I had heard, could it be his daughter's voice?
I didn't really care who his daughter was, and instead asked, "What is this place?"
He paused and replied, "This is my grave." ”
Hearing this, I almost fainted, this is actually a tomb, and I am talking to the owner of the tomb, it is not true that he is a ghost, and I am probably a ghost too!
"That'...... So how do you say I'm alive?!" I asked.
"I brought you in and asked you to do things, but I didn't want to kill you. He said.
"Actually, you are a tomb robber, and you have entered my tomb with some of your accomplices for my gold and silver treasures. He said.
I was stunned and muttered, "Impossible, impossible!"
"You may not believe it, because one of the grave robbers was chosen by me to swap his soul with you. He said.
My brain was instantly confused - the elevator ...... Belle...... Skirt...... Shaking...... Scream...... Waft......
"You mean, I've left the world and come here...... Somewhere else?" I asked.
"Well, that's right. He said, "You're still you, but your body isn't you anymore." ”
I immediately understood that I had crossed over, and my consciousness had been forcibly placed on a tomb robber, and all this happened because of the owner of the tomb.
