1 Ancient Desert Horror Chapter 26: The Contract of the Book of the Dead
What appeared in front of us was a large room filled with a pile of coffins! The walls, the top of the wall are carved with ancient Egyptian sacrificial symbols, six-pointed star arrays, and huge eyes. On the front wall is the sun god Amun, behind whom is a huge sun, and the other two Thebes tripillars, Mut and Konsi, stand behind Amun.
"This, what kind of place is this." Li Jing asked me, obviously she was better at studying Egypt than me, but she didn't know how there were so many coffins in the pyramids, and of course I didn't know. But I wanted to know the secret of these coffins, so I went inside, carefully examined each coffin, and found that these coffins were made of pure gold, and the shape was the kind common in ancient Egyptian ruins, the shape of the jackal was the same as the normal human figure, the only difference was that it protruded into a corner, as if holding something tightly. It looks like there must be a mummy inside, maybe it's the real body of the undead guards.
I asked Sister Jing, "How many people are generally composed of the Egyptian Guard?" Li Jing thought for a while and replied: "Generally, it is a group of 100 people, with a centurion." "I've probably estimated that there are nearly a hundred coffins here, and it seems that there are indeed undead guards here.
I searched carefully with a cold firework, and suddenly I found bullet holes in some coffins and some used bullets on the ground, which means that there was a fierce shootout here! I quickly walked past each row of coffins, trying to see if there were any bodies or survivors. Behind a coffin, I found a man dressed in black, his lower body was beaten into a bloody blur, I resisted the nausea, turned him over, and found that it was not from our team, it should be from those men in black.
I was examining him closely, and then he suddenly made some noise, and I was startled, and I raised my hand and wanted to shoot, and then he made another sound, and then I finally understood, and he was saying, "Don't shoot." ”
I scolded him: "Didn't you still want to kill us just now?" Now cowardly? Tell you, no way! He said forcefully: "Are you that Ah Hao, I am Ah Cheng's friend, I was forced just now." ”
"What? Are you Ah Cheng's friend? I hurriedly helped him up and fed him some water, and he coughed: "There is a cigarette in the bag, let's divide it, I'll tell you something." ”
I immediately took out a pack of cigarettes from his bag, lit them for him and me, he took a deep breath, exhaled slowly, and then said to me: "I don't disdain to be in the company of those people, just now I was actually forced to helpless, in fact, we are assisting those judges of the Western Regions, in fact, there are only five of them, the rest are assisting them, the leader is very hot-tempered, and very ruthless, after we fell together, we found a way to get in together, and as a result, when we were about to come up from the cave, he killed us all." I had no choice but to shoot and ran in, and then I was blocked by them, and they shot me directly, and the leader wanted to make up for me, but a bunch of soldiers appeared outside, and the leader was very excited, so he chased out with those judges. Ahem! ”
After saying so many words with a face, he couldn't support it anymore, coughed up a lot of blood, we don't have medicine on us now, and we can't carry him out, he is so seriously injured, it seems that he can't live, he should also know that he can't live, and he struggled to say to me with all his might: "Old K has already mixed into your team, go find Ah Cheng, he came in after those people, and Old K is the ......" Before he finished speaking, his head tilted, and he collapsed like this.
"What? Who is Old K? Wake up? Feed?! I shook him and said loudly.
Li Jing heard my voice and hurriedly ran over, I shook my head at Li Jing, sighed: "He is already dead......", I took off his clothes and covered him, and then rummaged through his bag, nothing else, only found two magazines. I took out the magazine and put it under his head as a sign of respect.
Li Jing said to me, "What did he say just now? ”
"Huh? It's nothing, he is a good friend of Ah Cheng, and he is not in the same group as the core of that gang, he told me that Lao K is in our team, let me find Ah Cheng. ”
Li Jing looked confused, "Who is Old K?" Those men in black are infighting? I shook my head, I don't know who Lao K is, whether it's good or bad, but looking at the current situation, I think Lao K is a bad person, and I think Lao K is that Chen Kai!
I pretended not to hear Li Jing's question, and only explained that the leader of the group of black-clothed people was the descendant of the Judge of the Western Regions, and brought four other people who were also descendants of the judge, as for the other black-clothed people, they had just been killed by them.
Li Jing nodded thoughtfully and said to me, "I just checked the coffin over there and found that there was a coffin that could be opened, but there was nothing in it. Inside the coffin is a hieroglyphic text to the effect that the dead soul will return at dawn. ”
Well? Isn't that what the Book of the Dead is about? I asked Li Jing, "Isn't this what the Book of the Dead says about the resurrection of souls?" Li Jing nodded: "Yes, this is the content of the Book of the Dead, the ancient Egyptians believed that they would go to the underworld after death, and the soul would leave their bodies every night and come back in the morning." The Book of the Dead is the equivalent of a death pact with the underworld. ”
"Wait, is the coffin empty? What time is it? "I suddenly thought of something that scared me.
"It says seven o'clock." Li Jing looked at her watch and said to me.
"Oh no, those undead guards are coming back! Let's go. As my voice fell, there was a commotion outside the door on the other side, like a hundred people running. I didn't care about thirty-seven twenty-one, I immediately grabbed Li Jing's hand and ran to the door where we came in, those undead guards are back!
When I got to the door, I pulled the door hard, but I don't know what's going on, the door just didn't move, I kicked it again, and there was still no sign of opening, it was broken, something was on the other side of the door, or the door was stuck. Seeing that the commotion was getting louder and louder, I immediately turned around, then put the gun in my hand and prepared to resist for a while.
At this time, the commotion is getting closer and closer, and they are about to break down the door! I was sweating on my head, and my heart was beating faster, when Li Jing suddenly pulled me up, ran to the wall engraved with the Three Pillars of Thebes, and smashed my fist on the box, and a secret passage appeared under the wall.
"Come in, quick!" She said to me, I didn't think about it, I jumped in with her, and behind her, the sound of the door being broken came through......
