Chapter 255: A Word of Nonsense

After a few rounds, Rudolph said with a little excitement: "It's coming!" ”

Everyone's spirits were lifted at once, and it was finally time to see the Ark of the Covenant. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info for this moment, since entering the labyrinth, has paid two lives.

The more you get to the end, the more you have to be careful. When Rudolph took his trekking poles and carefully stepped into the center of the final circle, everyone excitedly turned on all the flashlights and shone the beams everywhere.

In the center is a huge circle of about 100 square meters, with a wall four and five meters high, and only one entrance. There should be a hundred and sixty tons of gold here, and at least a Ark of the Covenant, but... It was empty, with nothing but a protruding stone block in the center.

"What about the Ark of the Covenant, and what about the gold?" Snead unsure shone his flashlight again, and indeed in addition to that, all that was left was dust and air.

Once you're here, let's go to the end. Rudolph walked towards the stone in the center. Although everyone was a little frustrated, they still walked along.

The stone was carved into its simplest form, square, about a meter high, and about an arm's width of an arm.

The surface, like the ground, is filled with dust, which has accumulated over thousands of years. Rudolph reached out and wiped the ash off it, then blew hard, and sure enough, there was handwriting on it. After so much effort to carve the labyrinth, there should be something about this stone.

Everyone hurried to help, and regardless of the dirty hands, they cleaned the dust on it with their hands.

"Hebrew!" Rudolph frowned at the sight.

"I'll do it!" Hoffman looked at it. Yes, Hoffman was a Jew, and this people took the language very seriously.

Hebrew is one of the oldest languages, once lost and later restored thanks to Jewish efforts. It is indeed a miracle that a language that has been extinct for more than 2,000 years can be restored. Thankfully, if no one could read it, there might be a need for an expert like Soros who specializes in ancient languages.

Hoffman pronounced the line from right to left: "If you're here, you're alive!" ”

Everyone waited for a while, and Regel couldn't help but ask, "What about the back?" ”

"There's no back... Hoffman reluctantly replied, "That's all for all." ”

If you have come here you are alive ... Everyone's expressions were weird, and they found a very ridiculous thing, what was written on it was just nonsense!

I have worked so hard to get here, and I actually got this sentence.

Cheng Qianxun smiled bitterly: "What is this called, it's not as useful as putting a roll of toilet paper on it." ”

"Toilet paper oxidizes over time, so it's carved with stone." Sneijder looked serious, but felt more darkly humorous.

Make no mistake, just to watch this piece of nonsense? Rudolph said to Hoffman, "Look at it twice, if it's a charade, or if it contains a password or something." ”

After reading it back and forth a few times, Hoffman came to the conclusion: "There is no password, one word is separated by one letter, and there is no password when you look at it backwards." ”

What is the text on this stone, is it just to tease them? It's too much of a joke... I'm speechless.

"What shit!" Newly lost his teammate, Mullen was so angry that he lifted his foot in hatred and kicked it hard at the stone.

But the stone remained unmoved, and with this profound nonsense there, it would not rot for another thousand years.

It's ironic, huge engineering, complex labyrinths, and some traps, just to protect this nonsense?

"Okay!" Cheng Qianxun smiled bitterly at the sky: "The person who engraved this sentence, whether it is Satan or a god, a human or something else, he won." ”

"What wins?" Mullen kicked twice more as usual: "The person who got this stone is a... ”

"Genius!" Cheng Qianxun hurriedly interrupted Ma Lun's words loudly, and she looked at Ma Lun, who was a little uncalm, with a stern gaze: "This sentence is the truth, right?" If we can see it, we are already lucky, proving that we are still alive. As long as you live, what else is there to complain about? ”

Mullen was stunned for a moment, and then his angry brain calmed down. If Satan deliberately teased them, the curse words he hadn't spit out just now might have annoyed Satan who was watching their jokes.

Cursing had no effect, and Mullen said helplessly to the darkness above, "Yes, we should be thankful that we can see these words." ”

What's next? Hoffman looked left and right: "Shall we go back the same way?" ”

"Do you have a second way other than going back the way you came?" Rudolph also looked helpless.

The way back is much faster than when you came, that's the common thing. Often, the first time I walked, it felt very long, but the second time I walked, it felt not as long as it was, and the time taken was shortened.

Walking past the place where Lance died, the boulder was still very abruptly on the ground, and the blood had flowed three meters away, absorbed by the small amount of dust on the ground,

I walked a little further and came to the trap. Perhaps it was the setting of the mechanism, and at this time, the stone slabs that had been hung down were lifted again, blocking all the stone pillars from the ground. At this time, the road was very strong, and everyone stepped on the stone slabs, and their arms were tightly supported on the walls on both sides, so that if any mechanism was touched, the stone slabs would hang down, and they would not be stabbed to death.

Gross's corpse was underneath, and it wasn't long before his flesh weathered, decayed, and finally turned into a skeleton; After a while, when the muscles, skin, tendons, and ligaments that connect the bones are all rotten, he will also be scattered scattered like other corpses. Bai Sensen's bones were covered in dust, lying down forever, waiting for the years to continue to flow and turn all the bones into dust.

For this line of words, they paid the price of the lives of two teammates. There is nothing worthless, fate is like this, if you don't try, maybe you will fail. If they did run into the Ark of the Covenant this time, then they would have won. However, there is no but.

Dejected, everyone returned to the entrance to the original labyrinth, and the stone slabs in front of them blocked the way out.

Rudolph and the others began to take out their own explosives, calculating how much they needed to explode.

Although there are only seven players left, there are still enough people, and Cheng Qianxun will focus on other things.

I saw Gordon shining a flashlight everywhere, from the rock wall to the stone wall of the labyrinth.

"Looking for what?" Cheng Qianxun asked, "Is there another way?" ”

"Maybe." Gordon continued to shine, and the flashlight returned to the surrounding mountain walls, not letting go of every section: "There is always air here, and as long as there is air circulation, there should be passages." ”

That's right, once you come in, the entrance is sealed. Although the space is large, there is no suffocation, and sometimes you can feel a gentle breeze.

Rudolph listened, he put his index finger in his mouth, soaked it and stretched it out in front of his eyes. After a while, he said, "There is indeed air circulation. ”

"Maybe it's overhead, maybe it's just some tiny rat hole." Hoffman still suggested blowing up the slate.

"Blowing up the slate has the potential to cause a landslide." Rudolph thought for a moment and said, "Gordon and I will look for it nearby, you can wait a little longer." ”

"It's no fun to stay here." Regel's words were echoed by everyone. Anyway, the explosion door is very simple, as soon as the explosives are released, the ignition is waiting for the explosion.

Three or four rays of light explored in the darkness, searching the walls inch by inch.

After walking for about ten meters, the light stopped in one place, and a pattern was drawn on the mossy wall.

Gordon took out the hiking rope and used the bundled thick rope as a rag and brush, and rubbed it back and forth a few times, and the sign became more obvious.

Hoffman recognized it at a glance: "Inverted pentagram!" ”

The six-pointed star is the star of King David, but what is this inverted five-pointed star?

Perhaps for the East, these six mangs and five mangs do not know what the meaning is, but Westerners are very familiar with them.

Regel explains: "If you turn the pentagram upside down, you are pointing the human spirit downward, that is, hell. It is an evil demon symbol and also represents Satan. ”

Satan? After thinking about it, Cheng Qianxun walked up and stretched out his hand to grope on the pattern about half a meter wide.

"Don't!" Hoffman shouted and said to Cheng Qianxun very seriously: "This inverted pentagram is said to also have a very powerful power, and it is often used as a totem and formation to summon devils. ”

"It doesn't matter!" Cheng Qianxun confidently continued to grope for the pattern: "I once swore to worship Hades forever, so if you want to take my life, I only hope it is Lucifer, even if he sneers at my humble life." If this sign is a symbol of Satan, then it is most appropriate for me to touch it. ”

When she touched the center, she seemed to feel a slight loosening. So she pressed it and shook it, "It seems to be loose." ”

"I'm coming!" Gordon walked up and raised his eyebrows at Cheng Qianxun: "I've died a few times, what are you afraid of?" ”

Cheng Qianxun thought about it and stepped aside.

Gordon leaned his face against the mountain wall and looked at it: "It seems to have a seam." He tried it with the tips of both hands, and no! So he pulled out a small chisel from his bag and carefully pried open the middle as if he were opening the lid of a metal biscuit jar.

A pentagonal stone slab was removed, and a small pull tab appeared inside.

"I knew that Satan would not cut us off." Cheng Qianxun was happy, she stretched out her hand through the small pull ring, and was about to pull, but stopped, and said to the people around: "You guys get out of the way first." ”

In order to prevent another trap, everyone cooperated and retreated, five meters away.

"You also get out of the way first, I can't pull it and then call you." Cheng Qianxun said to Gordon, and Gordon did so.

When everyone should avoid a safer position, Cheng Qianxun pulled the pull ring hard. (To be continued.) )
