Chapter 343: Stranger
At this time, someone suddenly patted Wang Lihong on the shoulder.
Wang Lihong felt unusually keen, because he knew that it was not Lan Xi's hand, he couldn't help but feel numb, and slowly turned his head, when he saw that face, the whole person couldn't help but cry out.
It was a completely deformed face, as if it had been exposed to nuclear radiation, and there were a lot of tumors on the face, which looked like bunches of grapes, and some of the tumors were festering.
"Uh-huh......"
Before Wang Lihong could call out, the person suddenly reached out and covered Wang Lihong's mouth, and then made a boo gesture at him, and whispered: "Don't wake them up." ”
Wang Lihong looked at Lan Xi beside her again, and her most was covered by this terrifying person.
"Follow me!" The man whispered, then cautiously walked back.
His voice was hoarse, as if he had swallowed carbon, and he walked strangely, with his body bent, looking only one meter and two three, not even like a person walking, feeling like an animal in rags.
Lan Xi looked at Wang Lihong, trembling a little, and asked, "Lihong, are we going to follow?" ”
"Well, there's no other way now, let's go ahead and have a look!" Wang Lihong said his thoughts, because he felt the breath of a living person on this guy's body, he felt a little relieved, thinking that there was no other way now, and this person didn't seem to have malicious intentions, otherwise he could kill both of them with a knife from behind just now.
"But what about this father-in-law?" Lan Xi looked at Wang Lihong and asked.
Wang Lihong glanced at Wang Zhichu, who was still spinning in circles, and said to Lan Xi ruthlessly: "Let's follow this guy first, and hear what he can do, if we go down rashly." Maybe you'll get hit too. ”
Lan Xi saw that what Wang Lihong said also made some sense, and there was really nothing to do now, so he could only say what he said.
Seeing that Wang Lihong and the others did not follow, the man beckoned to them from a distance of more than ten meters, signaling them to hurry over.
Wang Lihong and Lan Xi. He followed this man with a terrifying face and a very abnormal body shape.
They walked through many alleys, going back and forth, almost making Wang Lihong and them dizzy, and finally stopped in front of a dilapidated house.
The man turned his head and beckoned to Wang Lihong, "Come in." ”
Wang Lihong took Lan Xi's hand, cautiously looked at the situation of the house, and after feeling that there was no danger, he slowly walked in.
After the mystery man lit an oil lamp. Wang Lihong They can see more clearly, the inside of this room is as dilapidated as the outside, and there are some very simple living facilities, although they are shabby, but they are also clean.
"Who are you?" Wang Lihong didn't go around in circles, and asked him cautiously.
This person was not in a hurry, took out two cups, and gave Wang Lihong two glasses of water. Wave your hand to them, and it means drink water.
Wang Lihong looked at it. This cup is actually made of gold, but this person is unknown, who dares to eat your food and drink your water, in case you poison the water, it will be a good way.
Wang Lihong politely refused: "No need, we're not thirsty now." You tell us first. Who the hell are you? Also, who are those people? ”
This person's eyes were very sharp and very bright, he looked at Wang Lihong, and asked in a very hoarse voice: "You want to know who I am." Then tell me first, are you afraid of me? ”
Wang Lihong took a deep breath, let Hou pretend to be calm and said: "As long as you are human, I am not afraid." ”
The man smiled, and although the expression was no longer visible on his face, the corners of his mouth were raised, and he said, "Very good." With these two words, he removed all the gray cloth that had wrapped around his head.
In the next moment, Lan Xi almost vomited on the spot, because the top of this person's head had festered a lot, and it looked like a completely rotten head. But it's very strange that even this kind of festering doesn't emit any rancid smell, not even any peculiar smell at all.
"My name is Tukamunf, and I am a servant of the gods." The ugly man spoke.
"Servant of God? What do you mean? Wang Lihong didn't understand what he meant by saying this divine servant, although the literal meaning was easy to understand, he must be a divine servant, but he wanted to understand a little.
"I am a faithful servant of the god of the dead, the true God of Anubis." Tukamunv said respectfully, and as he spoke, he made a gesture of worship.
Wang Lihong knew what the origin of this Anubis was, that is, the wolf-headed human body, holding a magic staff in his hand, and the legend was that he was the guy who guarded the undead.
"You're a servant of God, so who are those people just now?" Wang Lihong waved his hands and pointed out the door.
Tukamunfu coughed twice, and could see that he was still a little uncomfortable, and then said: "The twelve people you saw just now are called the Guardians, and the twelve who appeared at this time are called the Night Watchmen, but they are no longer real people. ”
"Your uncle, there are really ghosts in this world." Wang Lihong couldn't help but scold, if it was a ghost, then all this could be said.
Tukamunfu disagreed with Wang Lihong's point of view, explaining to him: "They are not ghosts, they are between the living and the dead. ”
Although Lan Xi was very scared, she was very relieved when she thought that Wang Zhichu was still there, and asked, "Then who are they?" ”
Tukamunfu didn't answer Lan Xi's question directly, but slowly sat down on the somewhat decayed wooden chair, leaned over, and said, "If you talk about them, you have to start with this twilight city and the first pharaoh of ancient Egypt, Pharaoh Menes......"
"This Egyptian matter is so far-reaching, it's really more mysterious than another." Wang Lihong secretly thought to himself in his heart.
After listening to Tukamunfu say all this, Wang Lihong finally understood, but he didn't know whether to believe it or not. Tukamunf said that Menes begged Anubis to give him immortal protection, and Anubis agreed to him, so he mummified him, and the place where mummies were made at that time was the Twilight Zone.
In order to protect her spirits and bodies, Menes mummified twenty-four of her most trusted servants and asked them to protect themselves in the town: the Twelve Day Watch and the Twelve Night Watch.
These twenty-four people, like two shifts in the factory, stand guard in shifts, which is really unheard of. (To be continued.) )
