Chapter 1: Anonymous Cards
In the library, Yu Bei was looking at the book "A Comparative Study of Sumerian, Egyptian, and Chinese Ancient Characters" on the table, flipping through it from time to time, holding a palm-sized golden card in his left hand, and his eyes were looking at the content introduction on the card from time to time.
The content on the card is written in hieroglyphs, and Yu Bei has been looking for books related to the interpretation of hieroglyphs since the morning in order to understand what has been written.
The books next to his arm were piled high, and after checking more than a dozen books, he didn't get much, and the book in his hand was his last hope.
"I see......"
When he flipped through the chapters of the Book of the Dead that recorded the inscriptions, the hieroglyphs on the cards were compared one by one, and Yu Bei hurriedly used a pen to translate the corresponding hieroglyphs on the paper.
"The soul does not die with the body, this life is short, the next life is eternal. According to the journey of the sun from rising but setting, the great pharaoh Khafre made a specific resurgence of time and space, and then according to the 12 hours of the sun's journey, the underworld is divided into 12 levels, each level has gods and demons to guard the door, and people who are destined to break through the level according to the hints and obtain mysterious powers. β
Yu Bei wrote and drew on the paper, and it took a long time to straighten out the meaning written on the card, and with his left hand, he picked up the nameless card on the table and muttered: "I also got the mysterious power, the labor and management don't even have a girlfriend, you have the ability to give me a girlfriend!" β
The nameless card was the prize he got yesterday for playing the Card Myth Community Entertainment Tournament, and as a history student, the special text on the card attracted him.
That's why he came to the library today to look up materials to satisfy his curiosity.
At this time, he noticed that there was also a line of small black letters on the card, which seemed to be written in small block letters, and the words were so small that if you didn't look carefully, you wouldn't see them at all.
"Drop a drop of blood on the card, you can see God!"
"This is too, as the successor of a new-age atheist, how can you believe in gods and monsters?" Yu Bei's fingers tapped on the tabletop, smiling disdainfully on his face.
Sometimes the more you pretend you don't care, the more you care.
Yu Bei's curiosity is increasing little by little, and he is struggling incomparably in the depths of his heart, he is really curious about what God is like, is there really a god in this world?
So, he decided to give it a try.
Teeth bite through the middle finger, squeeze out a drop of blood and drip it on the card, fortunately, there are very few people in the library at this point, otherwise Yu Bei's behavior will definitely be considered a mental illness.
After the blood dripped on the card, Yu Bei hurriedly sucked his fingers to stop the bleeding, and quietly waited for the supernatural phenomenon to appear while stopping the bleeding.
After a long time, the fingertips have turned white and stopped bleeding, and the card is still the same card, and there is no change at all.
"Sure enough, I'm still too naΓ―ve!"
Yu Bei shook his head, this result was expected and reasonable, but he was a little disappointed in his heart.
"Wow!"
"Huh! Where's the dog in the library? β
Yu Bei was about to leave the library with the book in his arms, when he suddenly heard a dog barking in his ears, and his eyes looked around only to find that there was a black pug in front of his heel, staring at him with a pair of eyes.
"Puppy, how did you get in?"
Because he had a dog at home when he was a child, Yu Bei had a special affection for dogs, he squatted down and took out the uneaten ham sausage in his pocket and said with a smile: "You must be hungry, there is so much left, eat some to pad your stomach first, and I will get it for you when I go back to the dormitory later." β
"Wow! Mortals, don't kneel when you see this god! β
The black pug in front of him had a serious face, and his already wrinkled face was even more wrinkled at this time.
But in Yu Bei's eyes, the pug in front of him became more and more cute, especially the wrinkled skin, instead of feeling scared because of the pug's serious expression, he reached out and touched its head and said, "Don't worry, I ......"
"Hey, wait!"
Yu Bei suddenly remembered something, he looked at the pug in front of him and doubted, "Can you speak?" β
"I am the god Anubis who rules the gates of the underworld, why did mortals suddenly summon me?"
has a cute and cute appearance, especially the pug in front of him also stretched out his tongue to moisten his paws after speaking, how to watch and dance.
"Yesterday I played a card game, and the winner got a card as a reward, and I got this nameless card."
Yu Bei picked up the cards on the table and raised them; "The content of the cards is written in hieroglyphs, and I can't understand it at all, so I went to the library to look up the materials and translate the text. Luckily, I was able to translate the content.
"Then I did as I was told, and you showed up." Yu Bei explained.
The pug's dark eyes looked at him, as if they could see through his soul to verify that he was lying.
Yu Bei was bitten by the starling dog, hugged himself with both hands, rubbed his palms up and down, and said, "Are you really a god?" β
Yu Bei is really curious, he usually understands the myths and legends of the pharaoh, and in his memory, there is no god in the form of a canine, is it ......
"Shouldn't the three-headed dogs of hell be guarding the gates of hell? Could it be that you are? β
Yu Bei is like a curious baby, with a stomach full of questions that he wants to ask the 'Anubis' in front of him.
Anubis didn't answer, a scorching golden light flashed in his eyes, Yu Bei saw the light in Anubis's eyes and instinctively wanted to dodge, but found that he couldn't move.
It's like the wooden man game that I often played with my friends when I was a child, and my brain is very conscious, but I can't move if I want to.
In an instant, he wanted to understand who was doing the ghost, it turned out that there was really a god in this world, and a cold sweat ran down his broad forehead.
At this time, he saw that Anubis's eyes turned red, and the whole looked very strange.
"You're going to ......"
Yu Bei wanted to open his mouth to stop it, but suddenly found that not only could he not move his body, but he couldn't even make a sound.
The body couldn't move, the voice couldn't be heard, and the premonition of not wanting to get out became more and more intense.
Once upon a time, the gods lived in a mythical world, and became a joke on the lips of adults after meals, occasionally used to scare disobedient children.
Man is fearless because of ignorance, and fearful because of the unknown.
Now Yu Bei felt more frightened than ever, he didn't know what Anubis would do to him.
Seeing that Anubis's mouth was wide open, so big that he could swallow a large watermelon in one bite, Yu Bei noticed that the inside of his mouth was like a vast sea and starry sky, and like an endless black hole full of infinite mystery.
A golden scale floated out of his mouth, and to the left of the scale lay a bloody heart, which could be clearly seen beating rhythmically. On the right side of the scale is a white feather, which can spread its wings and soar with just a breath.
"The judgment scales can judge a person's good and evil, the heart represents evil, and the feather represents good. The judgment will be evil, and I will eat your heart, and your soul will not be at peace. If the judgment turns out to be good, as the chosen one, you will receive the Book of the Dead, which has mysterious powers.
When the scales of judgment appeared, you had no choice. Now the trial begins. β
