Chapter 121: Black Sculpture
"'Morrissey script', why haven't I heard of it?" Marcus scratched his head.
Erin glanced at him and said with a smile, "It's normal that you haven't heard of it, this was originally just a niche script created in Egypt thousands of years ago, only circulated among the aristocracy, and then slowly disappeared into history, only some sporadic records." No one uses this script anymore, so schools definitely don't teach it. β
"Is that so?" Marcus understood.
"Don't talk about those useless ones, take a notebook, help me record the information, and get ready to start interpreting." Professor Albert took a step back, but didn't look away.
Hearing his order, Hua Tianqing and the three of them hurriedly took out their notebooks.
Erin on the side immediately noticed that Zhang Taibai was not synchronized with Hua Tianqing and the three of them, which was a little strange, but she didn't say anything, because Zhang Taibai also came with Professor Albert, even if there was something weird, it wasn't a headache for her.
Zhang Taibai didn't care too much about what kind of text was depicted on this gate at this time, anyway, he couldn't understand it, and he wasn't really an archaeology student, so how could he know this.
But he felt a layer of attached energy from the gate, enveloping the entire wall.
"That's why even high explosives can't blow up this wall?" Zhang Taibai immediately had a plan in his heart.
If it was really just an ordinary stone wall, let alone high explosives, even if the machine gun could shoot a row of craters, how could it be intact.
That's why Marcus and the others had found it unbelievable before, because it was already a bit counterintuitive.
Zhang Taibai actually felt that there was something strange about this, but he had previously deduced that there might be a secret thing in this cemetery from the actions of the two major groups and the Egyptian military and the 'Bloody Dawn', so he was not too surprised after hearing that there was such a strange thing in the cemetery.
However, it was speculation before, but it was only then that he was somewhat sure.
This cemetery must not be a cemetery for ordinary people, or the person who built this cemetery must be a 'transcendent', otherwise it would not explain the scene in front of you.
According to Joshua's previous statement, the cemetery was completely inaccessible from other directions, as if the entire cemetery had an incredibly hard shell...... There are many possibilities for this to happen, such as the entire cemetery being covered in a super material like 'Edelman Alloy', so it can't be drilled. β
"But that's a bit unrealistic, because super materials like 'Edelman' are so rare that they can't be used to build a cemetery."
"But it wouldn't be strange if the entire cemetery was like this gate, wrapped in a layer of flowing energy......" Sensing the energy flowing in the gate, Zhang Taibai could basically confirm his guess.
Without the protection of that layer of energy, this gate should not be much different from ordinary stone gates.
"Although I don't know the specific origin of this cemetery, since there is a gate, there must be a way to enter, and the 'Morrissey script' recorded on the gate may hide the way to open the gate, but it seems that there is no need to be so troublesome......" Thinking of this, Zhang Taibai suddenly walked forward.
At the same time that Zhang Taibai discovered the secret of the gate, Professor Albert had already deciphered a lot of content, and his expression looked very excited.
ββ¦β¦ You're right, the way to open the door should be on top of this gate, but there are some words that I can't decipher directly, and it will take some time. Professor Albert looked intently at the door and said in an excited tone.
Click-
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a soft sound at the door.
"Huh?" Professor Albert was stunned.
However, his reaction was still a beat slower, and everyone in the four teams who had been waiting quietly behind him clearly saw what was going on with the scene that had just happened.
The Chinese young man who was following Professor Albert walked directly to the door, put his palm on a certain position on it, and then turned it slightly, and there was a sound from the door.
And that's just the beginning.
After a soft sound, the door suddenly opened slowly inwardβ
"The door is open!"
"How is it possible, we can't open this door after thinking of so many ways, how can that kid open it with a light touch?"
"It's really fake!"
Many of the people behind were already dumbfounded.
Especially those who have participated in the blasting of the gate before, they are all jaw-dropping!
"Zhang?" Professor Albert also reacted, and it was his old friend who entrusted him to his student - Zhang Taibai.
Zhang Taibai saw that all eyes were focused on him, and he also felt that he had miscalculated.
He just wanted to try his guess, but he didn't expect that this door would be opened so easily, and he would become the focus of attention.
This was not his original plan, he came here just to secretly protect Hua Tianqing, and to see the excitement by the way.
Just now, when he noticed the flow of energy layers on the gate, he also accidentally noticed that there was something abnormal in the flow trajectory of one of the locations, so he wanted to see if there was anything unusual in that location up close.
Unexpectedly, he tried it casually, and he actually opened the door directly, which also made everyone notice him.
This suddenly made him cry and laugh a little.
After a little thought in his mind, he suddenly remembered a reason, looked sideways at Professor Albert and said, "I used to study the 'Morrissey script' for a while out of curiosity, so I can be said to know this kind of writing very well, and it seems to be relatively fast-"
Yes, Zhang Taibai wants to use these words as an excuse.
Anyway, his identity on the surface is also a student of the Department of Archaeology, if he just deciphers the text faster, although it will be surprising, but he will not think much about it.
Sure enough, after Zhang Taibai said this, Professor Albert's former student Erin immediately exclaimed, "Is this classmate also my junior brother?" It's incredible. β
"No, he's Leonard's student." Professor Albert said with admiration, "I didn't expect you to have such a good foundation in this kind of niche text, and even my reading speed is far inferior to yours......
"Professor Leonard of Columbia?" Erin immediately guessed who Professor Albert was talking about.
Professor Albert nodded.
"Is that so...... Please say hello to Professor Leonard on my behalf. Erin smiled, "I haven't seen Professor Leonard for years, I don't know if he remembers me." β
"Okay." Zhang Taibai agreed.
However, he didn't know any Professor Leonard, and he had never seen it at all.
"Thank you, I didn't expect to open this door so easily, but we haven't succeeded in thinking about it for a long time." Major General Said walked over with a sigh, "Let's move on, if there is a similar situation in the future, we will have to trouble you." β
"It should." Professor Albert nodded slightly.
When the gate was fully opened, the group marched forward again.
As the person who opened the door, Zhang Taibai naturally attracted a lot of attention, but with the excuse just now, everyone saw that he was just a more knowledgeable student at best, and they didn't think too much about him as Professor Albert's No. 2.
Behind the gate, there is a long passageway.
Everyone moved forward cautiously, for fear of touching some trap.
However, their fears were a little unwarranted this time, as nothing unusual happened through the entire passage, and soon they came to a rotunda.
The hall is at least a few tens of meters high, and at the top is a huge semicircle.
"What's that? Go over and take a look. β
At the forefront was the Egyptian military, and Major General Said, after noticing a number of black sculptures around the hall, instructed the soldiers.
As soon as he finished speaking, several soldiers split up and ran towards the edge of the hall.
After coming to the edge of the hall and carefully observing the sculptures, one of them shouted from afar, "Sir, these are just ordinary sculptures, nothing special......
Burst!
He was only halfway through his words when suddenly there was a muffled sound!
"Ah!!!!!h
On the side of the team, Hua Tianqing covered her mouth and screamed.
Because just as the soldier was shouting, everyone here could clearly see that his head suddenly exploded like a watermelon that suddenly shattered!
Red and white, spray all over the sky!
On the top of his neck, replaced by a black claw!
The owner of that claw is an ordinary black sculpture that has nothing unusual in its head and mouth just now!
The black sculpture actually 'came to life'!!
"Be careful!!"
Seeing this scene, Major General Said immediately alerted several other soldiers who had gone over to investigate.
But it's still a step too late!
The black sculpture beside them also moved, tearing them to shreds in an instant!
And this was as if it was a signal, and the dozens of black sculptures surrounding the hall suddenly 'came to life', and the wings behind them fluttered, and they actually flew up!
These black sculptures resemble legendary demons, with wings on their backs, sharp horns on their heads, and hideous faces!
"Shoot all!" Major General Said roared angrily.
The loss of several of his men in an instant made him extremely annoyed.
Bang bang β
The soldiers no longer hesitated and immediately began to shoot!
The people of the two groups were not slow to react, and those with guns quickly followed and attacked!
"Stay here and don't move." Erin was chatting with Professor Albert, but when she saw this scene, she immediately took a gun from her subordinate and began to shoot.
After the black sculptures were hit by bullets, the rhythm of flight was disrupted in one fell swoop.
Most of them were fine, except for a few wings that were hit several times and fell from the sky and shattered into pieces.
Most of them are coming this way at a faster pace!
"Give it to me!" Major General Said snatched a bazooka from the side, snorted coldly, and pressed the launch button in the direction of a group with three black sculptures!
