Chapter 300: The Ghosts of the Past (Part 1)

"This ...... Isn't it a scarab? ”

An Ling sat on the table with her feet off the ground, looking at the giant insect that was crushed by Jiang Man's foot from a distance.

As a game lover, she is naturally no stranger to the scarab, which has become an iconic creature in many games and films, and their very existence has symbolized a certain cultural symbol.

It's just that some scarabs are okay to see in the game, but it's too scary to appear in reality.

"You know this?"

Gu Yun had long felt that An Ling had the potential to become a military officer, and the abnormality of this mirror was also brought up by her, so he didn't consider that there would be a secret hidden behind a mirror.

"Mummy, you should have heard of it, right?"

"I've heard of that!"

Jiang Man's eyes lit up, "When I traveled in my early years, I also made a special trip to visit the mummy. ”

Because in a sense, their zombies and mummies may be distant relatives, the difference is that most zombies are reawakened after absorbing the essence of the sun and the moon, while mummies preserve the bodies of the dead through some ancient ritual.

"But the legends are all lies, and when I went, the sarcophagus was full of dried corpses, and no mummies came to life at all."

"If you can come back to life, there will be ghosts!"

An Ling blurted out, but suddenly found that it seemed a little strange to say this.

Jiang is full of zombies, and theoretically a type of ghost, so he can't be treated as a human just because his appearance and body resemble Kaz.

"Ahem, in short, in Egyptian legend, the scarab beetle is the messenger that connects life and death, guiding the souls of the dead to the underworld, and according to my years of experience, this world behind the mirror is definitely not a good place."

Almost all games related to the mummy theme will introduce this custom, and once the player is attacked by a scarab, it will most likely mean that a mummy is about to come back to life.

It seems that the world is not a good place in any worldview.

"What the hell is the place, just go in and take a look."

Gu Yun glanced down at the place on his wrist that had been eaten by the scarab beetle, only a row of small imprints appeared on the skin, and even the skin was not broken, this bite ability was not as good as the rabbit they raised at home.

Although the mirror in the office can't penetrate people, there is a mirror in the corridor outside the office that is about the same height as Jiang Man.

"You slow down, what should I do when you go in? The Apprentice's Handbook doesn't say how to cover your whole body with magic. ”

An Ling hurriedly said - these two people should really let her watch the wind outside, right?

God knows what the world in the other part of the mirror is like, in case Gu Yun and Jiang Man get lost, and let the teaching director come out of the mirror first and collide with her, wouldn't something big happen?

"Why don't you find a way to call Marianne and ask her to guide me remotely?"

"It doesn't have to be that much trouble."

Gu Yun shook his head, the effect of spiritual power can not only be applied to himself.

Under An Ling's gaze, he walked in front of him in two steps, and before she could react, he was already hugged horizontally.

The back was leaning on Gu Yun's left arm, and the legs that were together were supported by Gu Yun's right arm—this was ...... Standard princess hugging pose!

An Ling's face was red all the way to the base of her neck, and this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity was simply unexpected.

All she could say was ......

It's nice not to use magic!

This is also thanks to the fact that she is just a junior apprentice who doesn't know anything, and I wish I could be an apprentice forever.

She leaned over the momentum, leaning her face slightly on Gu Yun's chest, and the latter's heartbeat was in her ears.

was red-faced with An Ling, and Jiang Man was watching from the sidelines.

What a scene!

The mood that had been slightly calmed down became ready to move again, and this restless feeling made him want to run directly to the campus and pick up the first girl he met......

"That way, you'll be able to walk through the mirror."

Gu Yun didn't notice the strangeness of An Ling and Jiang Man, he covered the two of them with his spiritual power, and walked out of the office door with An Ling in his arms, standing in front of the mirror in the corridor that was the same height as a person, as the so-called most dangerous place is the safest place, this mirror is placed in such a conspicuous position, but the teachers and students who come and go can't imagine that it is a bridge connecting two different worlds.

Seeing that she was getting closer and closer in the mirror, An Ling could already clearly see her expression at the moment in the mirror, and when her feet were not in the mirror, she subconsciously closed her eyes......

It's hot!

It's not mental restlessness, it's that the world behind the mirror is really hot!

In late January, in the upright winter, she and Gu Yun were both wearing thick winter clothes, but through the back of the mirror, it was dog days, and the humid and hot breath came to their nostrils.

An Ling opened her eyes and saw that everything around her was much more than the dark corridor, at least there were two torches burning on the stone pillar not far away.

The surrounding décor is an enclosed nave, with cordoned off sarcophagi lined up one after another under the steps of the altar, and scarabs are everywhere as far as the eye can see.

On the ground, on the sarcophagus, on the walls, on the dome, this dense insect made An Ling's dense phobia almost offended.

The two of them were standing on the altar, and when they came to this space, the mirror had disappeared.

"Gu Yun ......"

"Huh?"

"I'll tell you, you have to hug me tightly for a while, and never let me down!"

When she said this, An Ling's eyes were firm, and at the same time, she proved her determination with even more determined actions - she stretched out her hands and hugged Gu Yun tightly.

From now on, she won't let go even if the sky falls!

In addition to taking the opportunity to rub some oil, it is more important that she absolutely does not "step" on these insects, even if the scarab beetle does not bite.

She couldn't compete with so many giant insects, both physically and mentally.

As soon as the words fell, Jiang Man followed and appeared in this space.

"This is ......"

Seeing the rows of sarcophagi, Jiang Man was stunned for a moment, "I seem to have been here." ”

The tomb of the mummy.

When he visited distant relatives, he came to similar places, and even uncovered these sarcophagi one by one.

Not a single living person!

"The exit is on the other side."

Gu Yun looked around and came to a conclusion.

The stone steps of the altar lead to the end of the tomb, where torches illuminate the way, and the gate at the other end of the path is open.

Beyond the tomb, there was darkness again, and he could not tell what awaited them beyond the tomb.

But now that the way they came is gone, whatever awaits them outside the tomb, they can go and see for themselves.
