277. Argument and tell
"Hmph, you're right about the cat being the guardian of the underworld, but that's based on the fact that the cat can temporarily restrain Immorton until he is fully restored and fully resurrected; But listen clearly! It's just before he completely recovers his strength and resurrects, and at that time it can only intimidate him, just like a mouse uses disguise and voice to intimidate when he is a cat when he is a child, but it can't cause any damage to it, after all, compared to the real strength, we are the weak! It's okay to use the cat once in a while to scare him off, and you hold the cat to kill him...... Undoubtedly, it is to seek death, because there is nothing we can do about him in the real world! The black-clothed leader was obviously dissatisfied with Eve's questioning, and also snorted coldly at her, and then retorted in a disdainful tone. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
"You!!... Hmph・・・・You can figure it out! Although the words of the leader of the men in black were very harsh, they said their current situation very fairly, although Eve was annoyed by her tone, but she couldn't find a reason to refute it, and finally opened her mouth for a long time and only spit out some angry words, stomped to the side and pouted without speaking, and saw O'Connor and Jonathan behind them for a while.
"Okay, okay, let's go into the hall first" The old hall owner stood up to ease the atmosphere and led everyone into the lounge in the hall.
"Whew, now let's sit down and talk slowly." The old curator beckoned everyone to sit down, and then exchanged glances with the black-clad leader, and after seeming to have reached some kind of tacit understanding, he began to tell their stories and the reasons why O'Connor and the others had been stopped one after another.
"Our ancestors were all descendants of the Pharaoh..., and now we all belong to a secret organization that guards the City of the Dead and its secrets, and from the moment we were born, we have a heavy mission ---to prevent all accidents from happening and prevent the resurrection of the High Priest Immorton! Three thousand years have passed, and we have killed any individual and ...... who try to get their hands on the capital of the dead Organization, we swear to do everything in our power to protect all this, using any means and means, and no matter what, we will prevent the High Priest Immorton from returning to the world! The old hall owner looked extremely excited, and he could see that he attached great importance to this matter.
"For thousands of years we have been doing very well, and all those who have approached Hamnata have been wiped out by us until... Until this time......" The curator sighed helplessly, shook his head bitterly with an old face, and seemed to be a little too excited to speak.
At this time, the leader of the black-clothed men on the side frowned coldly and said, "But because of the involvement of your group of guys, our mission has failed!" ”
O'Connor's expressions were a little embarrassed, but Eve said with a serious face: "You use such an excuse to kill innocents indiscriminately? You're risking innocent lives to keep your secrets! Eve shuddered at the thought of the number of souls who had died under the sword of the black-clad guard for thousands of years.
"Hmph, who's to blame? Human curiosity and greed are never-ending, and if they are allowed or a little negligent, the consequences will be unimaginable. Isn't it a living example! Glaring at Eve coldly, the leader of the men in black almost roared out and complained, at this moment his mood was also extremely unhappy, if it wasn't for the woman in front of him and her companion who released that monster, how could they be so passive?
You must know that Cairo at this time has become a chaotic situation, all the rivers around it have turned into a liquid like blood, and the air is filled with a thick smell of blood instead of fresh air!!
Speaking of which, O'Connor and the others were speechless for a moment, after all, Eve was to blame for releasing Immorton, which was their fault and indelible.
Eve's face showed a look of regret and chagrin, none of this was what she wanted, she was a kind girl, but for a serious archaeologist, she had always been skeptical of the so-called myths and legends - no, she didn't believe them at all! And this is also the reason why she did not listen to Chen Kai's persuasion and continued to open the True Scripture of the Undead.
However, after a series of strange experiences in recent times, Eve's faith has been shaken, and this experience clearly tells her ---that there are indeed strange phenomena in this world that cannot be explained by the laws of nature, so she blames herself very much for the current situation in Cairo.
For a while, everyone was silent, and they didn't know what to say to alleviate it, after all, they all had mistakes.
It wasn't until a long time later that O'Connor muttered something that broke the silence and said, "Yay, this... It was our fault for unleashing the mummy monster Immorton; Because of some mistakes and misunderstandings, we opened the Book of the Dead, and inadvertently chanted a spell to release the monster, but why did he keep chasing us? Is it because we entered the pyramid of the capital of the dead? But wasn't that Immorton a traitor to the Pharaoh? Why did he hunt us down for the Pharaoh's mausoleum? ”
The man in black glanced at him, and still explained under the nod of the old hall owner: "Immorton... He did not betray the Pharaoh, but betrayed his duty as a high priest...... Or... He defiled the gods, which is why he was cursed so badly. As a resurrected mummy monster, he does not deliberately kill everyone who enters the mausoleum, except for killing the creatures in front of him, he will only kill the person who opens the holy chest; Because those people are his main targets, every time he kills someone who has been cursed by contact with the Book of the Dead, his mana will increase somewhat, and he will resurrect his lover... It is also the former Pharaoh Princess Ansuna, he must take back all the holy urns, this is the real reason why he is chasing you, and of course, the Bible of the Dead in your hands is also something he must obtain. ”
O'Connor hurriedly asked, "Then do you have a way to destroy it?" "A way to get rid of it?" The curator and the man in black looked at each other again, and they said in unison, "Of course not." ”
The old hall master continued to sigh and said, "This is also the reason why we have been doing everything we can for so long to stop anyone from approaching the capital of the dead, because once the immortal priest Immorton is released, with his terrifying strength, we have no way to stop him at all!"
