The world of "Mummy". Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Outside the Tower of Hamna, known as the City of Death, it was already dark.

Looking down from above, in front of the ruins of the city, there was a large expanse of rudimentary tents set up in the desert.

Between these tents, there are little fires.

Most of them had already fallen asleep, and the snoring of some could be heard far away in the silence of the night.

Evelyn tiptoed close to the sleeping Egyptologist.

The other party was holding a huge black book in his arms, densely covered with some strange words, and in the center was a sun-shaped groove.

Evelyn knew that the groove was the "keyhole", and this book was one of the purposes of her visit, the legendary "Black Book of the Dead" with mysterious powers.

Evelyn was well aware of the magical abilities of the legendary Black Book of the Dead, but she never believed in it.

In her mind, it was just a very famous book.

It's just that she was very curious about this book, so she wanted to "borrow" it while the Egyptologist was asleep.

The Egyptologist slept soundly, and Evelyn easily took the book out of the other's hands.

She walked quickly to her tent and heard the teasing of O'Connor feigning to be asleep.

Evelyn disagreed, and took the "key" out of her sleeping brother's pocket.

The "key" is a hexagonal copper box-like object that her brother, Jonathan "borrowed" from O'Connor.

Evelyn held the "copper box" in front of her eyes and writhed expertly.

"I always thought that the Golden Sutra of the Sun was golden." O'Connor got up and leaned over to Evelyn's side.

He didn't know much about the book, and had only heard Evelyn say it before.

But seeing that Evelyn was so curious, he couldn't help but be interested.

Evelyn was in a good mood and explained, "The Golden Sutra of the Sun is indeed golden."

"This is not the Golden Book of the Sun, but another one." Looking down at the black book, she continued, "I think this should be the Black Book of the Dead. ”

As the words fell, the key in her hand made a "click" sound, and several sharp horns popped out from its bottom, looking like a small sun.

Evelyn was beaming and fastened it in the groove on the cover of the Black Book of the Dead, and the two fit perfectly.

O'Connor frowned.

The words "Black Book of the Dead" sounded ominous, and from what he had heard, the book seemed to have some kind of devastating and terrible consequences.

He looked at Evelyn and said, "The Black Book of the Undead...... And you still play with this book? ”

Evelyn twisted the key, and with a click, the book could finally be opened.

With an excited smile on her face, she said disapprenously, "It's just a book, and it's ...... It won't hurt to do any harm. ”

O'Connor always felt that something was wrong, and his mind flashed over the image of the riot beneath the desert under the statue of Anusby, who had been forced here by the rebels.

"It should be fine." He thought to himself.

As a battle-hardened soldier, he didn't believe in those gods and ghosts after all.

Evelyn had already opened the book.

At the moment when the book was opened, a cold wind blew in the air, which made both of them shiver.

But as devout atheists, neither of them cared too much.

Evelyn lowered her head, touching the words.

These scripts are not ancient Egyptian scripts, but special hieroglyphs used by monks in ancient Egypt.

It is a system of its own that is rarely recognizable in the world today except by those who have studied ancient Egypt deeply.

"What's written on it?" O'Connor tilted his head over.

Evelyn exhaled softly, pronouncing the hieroglyphic pronunciation: "Sun, Taiyin......"

At this point, she turned to O'Connor and explained, "It means day and night. ”

Turning her head, she began to read word for word.

Her voice was not loud, but with a strange magic, it spread far away through the air.

In the underground of the City of Death, the mummy that had just been excavated by them during the day and had been subjected to the death of the "insect devouring" criminal law was faintly moved.

As Evelyn recited more and more words, the mummy finally stretched out her hands and let out a long roar when she looked up to the sky.

The voice was heard far away.

The Egyptologist, who was already asleep, woke up and shouted: "No! ”

He hurried to his feet and yelled at Evelyn, "You can't read it!" ”

Evelyn was startled, and then she sensed something was wrong.

She heard a strange noise.

O'Connor, who was next to her, also turned his head.

In the camp, others who were already asleep also woke up.

The crowd heard the sound that was getting closer.

Jonathan, Benny, and the three Americans all stood up and looked at the looming "black clouds" in the distance.

The "black cloud" is getting closer and closer, and it can barely be seen clearly.

"Oh my God, that's locusts!" Someone shouted.

"Run!"

……

The originally quiet camp became chaotic in an instant.

Everyone scurried towards the ruined buildings of the City of the Dead—even though they knew it was a huge tomb!

Those who ran slowly were soon swept away by locusts and fell to the ground.

The Egyptologist rushed over and picked up the Black Book of the Dead that had fallen to the ground, looking terrified.

Unlike Evelyn or the Americans who hired him, as a native Egyptian with a deep knowledge of ancient Egyptian culture, he knew very well that these supernatural forces were real!

However, it's too late now!

Evelyn, O'Connor, and the others ran into the City of the Dead, scurrying around the corridors like headless flies.

But soon, they discovered something else that scared them.

Looking at the black beetles on the ground like a black tide, O'Connor only felt his scalp tingle.

He would rather face an army than see such a thing.

"That's a scarab!" Evelyn exclaimed.

Scarabs survive by devouring corpses.

Unlike the locusts outside, they really eat human flesh!

As they ran up the stairs, O'Connor and Jonathan jumped onto a nearby platform to avoid the insect tide, while Evelyn fell through a nearby secret door.

At the same time, the lone American archaeologist Burns encountered the resurrected mummy, that is, the high priest 3,000 years ago, because he fell in love with the pharaoh's favorite concubine Arsuna, and was finally sentenced to "insect devouring" and became a mummy Immorton.

Suffering the punishment of insect devouring, Immorton experienced unimaginable pain for ordinary people, but after his resurrection, as a gift from death, he has powerful magic power and will give Egypt ten calamities.

The plague of locusts is only one of them.

And if he wants to be resurrected completely, he must kill the cursed, the four people who have opened the seal: three Americans, and Egyptologists!

Burns, who was in front of him, became the first victim.

It's just that Immorton didn't kill him in order to lure out the others, but bit off his tongue, gouged out his eyes, and implanted them in his body with mana.
