Chapter 31: The Night of the Mummy
When Qin Beiyang went deep into the catacombs of Paris, his father, Qin Customs, happened to come to the small square of the Louvre. Fastest updates
The moonlight shines on the Seine, and also on the spire of the tower of Notre Dame Cathedral not far away, and countless small monsters are soaring in the night sky. Dr. Holstein was with Lao Qin, and when he opened the truck compartment, he hid a diesel generator and a strange set of equipment, which at first glance looked like an organ in a church, as if it would play the heavenly sound of the choir at any moment.
Holstein discovered that the grave beast has a special auditory system, which can hear sound waves of normal human frequencies, and can also receive and emit sound waves beyond the human ear Frequencies 20 kilohertz to 1 gigahertz are ultrasound, such as bats, dolphins, whales, insectivores, and even some rats and marsupials.
The Doctor was also a classical music maniac, and like his fellow Germans, he admired Bach the most. With a history of 2,000 years, the organ has an extremely wide range, majestic momentum, beautiful and solemn timbre, can imitate the effect of orchestral instruments, and can also play rich harmonies, reaching heaven and reaching the soul.
The Tomb Beast is a "soul machine", and since it has a soul, it is suitable for a musical instrument such as an organ.
The soul machine cannot rely entirely on the power of the machine, and must rely on the soul Dr. Holstein.
He did dozens of experiments, and there were two kinds of props, one was the Navy's sonar system, and the other was a pipe organ brought from the church. The Ten Horns and Seven Heads respond to both sounds, especially when the organ plays Bach's Toccata and Fugue in D minor, the tomb beast that holds the soul of An Lushan is as obedient as a saint, swinging its body and shaking the heads of the seven beasts to the music, which is magnificent, grandiose, and rhythmic.
Karl Holstein invited the master Italian organ makers, who were also high-ranking members of the Craftsmen's Union, to help him recreate a large church organ that could emit two frequencies simultaneously: audible and inaudible ultrasound in Bach's Toccata and Fugue in D minor.
He was convinced that this sacred instrument had an irresistible allure for the Tomb Beast.
A few days ago, the ten-horned seven-headed tomb beast was sent to the Louvre from Versailles airport by a phone call from French Prime Minister Clemenceau. Despite Marshal Pétain's assurances, this treasure would not be easily returned to the Chinese. But Holstein does not trust the French, and in front of despicable politicians, scientific research and monuments are a fart. He has lost the four-winged angel tomb beast, and the nine colors are gone, and the ten horns and seven heads are the last hope, can't he go back to China to dig the ancient tomb? The remains of Yuan Shikai's Golden Toad Town Tomb Beast are said to have been melted into molten iron in the furnace of the steel mill thrown by the Beiyang government......
Dr. Holstein decides to snatch back his ten-horned seven heads, but this matter cannot be done alone, and must be helped by the controller of the Tomb Suppression Beast, and this person is Qin Customs.
Lao Qin's relationship with the ten-cornered seven-headed tomb beast is also the relationship between father and son. The two hit it off. The Doctor got an Army truck with an ultrasonic organ and generator and drove out of Versailles at night.
All the way unimpeded, in front of the Louvre. Holstein starts the generator and plays Bach's Toccata and Fugue in D minor on the organ keyboard......
Composed 200 years ago, this organ music reverberates in the heart of Paris, along the Seine, in the Champs-Élysées, in every bridge. There was a row of oversized horns on the roof of the truck, but no human could hear the music. Because this is ultrasound, the frequency is up to 20,000 kHz! Only bats in the dark of night, flying out of the rooftops and caves of Paris, gathered in the sky above the Louvre, like a thick cloud of black oppression.
Bach's ultrasound organ silently and loudly penetrates the ancient walls and into the cloisters, corners and secret rooms of the Louvre. Milos's severed-arm Venus opened her eyes, Samotras's goddess of victory raised her wings, and Leonardo da Vinci's Mona Lisa ceased to smile and shed two lines of tears of a hundred years of loneliness. Bach meandered his way through the 3,000-year-old Code of Hammurabi to the Ancient Egyptian Collection, where golden coffins, layers of mummy shrouds, and thousands of years of immortal corpses......
It is said that antiquities are able to speak, move, think, and even laugh and play in the dark. Any object, once in the form of a human or animal, is endowed with a more or less soul, which is also the principle of the "soul machine".
These eerie stories have been passed down by word of mouth among the Louvre's keepers for a century and 4,000 years ago, mummies, whose souls are still attached to the remains of the skeleton despite the eviscera being removed. Bach's Toccata and Fugue in D minor is more of a conjuring song than a dialogue with God.
The mummy broke through the two-tiered golden coffin, took off the gold mask on his face, and traveled from the Old Kingdom to the twentieth century AD. He or she looked at the world in bewilderment, why is there no desert, no green Nile valley, no towering pyramids and sphinxes? But he (she) saw countless companions, gradually waking up from thousands of years of slumber, breaking all shackles and shackles. In the depths of the dark tombs, they yearn for freedom all the time, and to mummify their bodies is to wait for the day of resurrection.
Not only people, but also the mummies of cats and dogs were awakened to action. In a way, these animal mummies were the tomb beasts of the ancient Egyptians, used to protect the tomb owners and ward off the invasion of evil spirits.
Finally, there is the monster god Anubis with a dog-headed human body.
The security guard on duty patrolled by and saw the mummy standing in front of him, rubbed his eyes and thought it was a nightmare. In the ears of the security guards, the entire Louvre was as silent as a tomb. For the mummies, there is a symphony concert. A tall and burly mummy smashed the window pane with his fist, took out an ancient Egyptian bronze sword, and cut off the head of the security guard.
All the mummies come to life to the sound of Bach's organ. They each seized a weapon and killed every living person they could see.
The watchmen of the Louvre Museum ran away crying wolves, and many of them hid in warehouses. The great sinologist Bo Xihe was staying up all night studying the ten-horned seven-headed tomb beast. He had unloaded the ammunition from the seven beast's heads, and wanted to dismantle the weapon and fuel tank, and restore it to its original appearance that had just been unearthed.
The grave beast opened its eyes.
The red gaze, like two huge flashlights, illuminated the warehouse door. Ten corners and seven heads heard the ultrasound from outside the walls of the Louvre, and it was also its favorite Johann Sebastian Bach.
It is awakened and suddenly discovers that the meaning of life is more than killing and killing and killing......
In addition to the nature of the beast, there is also Bach.
Ten corners and seven heads accepted the summons, headed towards the ultrasound, moved four thick animal legs, and trampled countless Chinese cultural relics from the Old Summer Palace were also stolen goods.
The seven beast heads tossed Birch aside and ran to open the door to the warehouse.
The mummies, barricaded at the door, rushed in.
The staff frantically fled for their lives, but the great sinologist Bo Xihe was not in a hurry, probably having a similar encounter during the Dunhuang expedition, he took out an ancient sword of the Han Dynasty from the warehouse, and bravely confronted the ancient Egyptian mummies.
Egyptian sword and Han Dynasty sword, two thousand years apart in the duel, Bo Xihe could not see each other's eyes, because his whole body was wrapped in white cloth entanglement, he picked up an ancient Roman shield, and had a little advantage in the duel. After parrying a blow, Birch stabbed the mummy in the chest.
Mummies are dead people, will dead people die again? No, ancient Egyptian mummies did not have hearts, all their organs were removed after death.
The face of the great sinologist is like dust......
Ten corners and seven heads gallop freely in the Louvre, and the seven heads watch the Mona Lisa, Our Lady of the Rocks, and the coronation of Napoleon I at Notre-Dame Cathedral, and it sees Leonardo da Vinci's ladies with horror on their faces, as if they are shouting in unison to drive this blasphemous monster out.
In front of it, another pile of mummies came to block it, attacking its bronze shell with ancient Egyptian swords and spears. The Tomb Beast was not welcome, it stretched out seven beast heads, easily bit the mummy into two pieces, and then stepped on the beast's legs to make powder.
For a hundred years, the Louvre Museum has insisted that this supernatural legend is pure nonsense. The museum later examined the mummies and found nothing missing, and no employees were killed or injured that night.
There is only one thing that cannot be denied, on the night of June 27, 1919, the seven-headed tomb beast escaped from the Louvre!
Following Bach's call, the beast broke out of the museum's cage and into the truck with the ultrasonic horn playing.
Under the moonlight in Paris, it saw Qin Customs, just like a pet seeing its owner, and a son seeing his father, he even rubbed his head coquettishly against Lao Qin, as if he was still a newborn beast.
Lao Qin happily stroked the ten horns and seven heads, the lost and recovered little son, he was willing to be lifted by the seven beast heads and put him on the armored fortress on his back.
He expertly drilled into the cabin, observed the situation through the lookout hole, and then used the joystick to direct the ten corners and seven heads. Although there is no oil in the tank, it is not possible to use the modified mechanical system. But in the dark night, the spirit stone can provide energy, and the heart of the tomb beast becomes hot, and it advances through the Place de la Concorde.
Dr. Holstein appeared in front of Qin Customs: "Qin! Have you forgotten? We said okay, let's take the tomb beast away. ”
Lao Qin shook his head with a sneer, sat in the armored capsule and said, "Holstein, you have gone crazy, and I won't live long, we don't have a tomorrow." ”
Then, Qin Customs issued an order to the ten-cornered seven-headed tomb beast: "Kill him." ”
Bach resounded through Paris.
