Chapter Twenty-Three: The Best 'Crow's Beak'
Although the condition on my face was not serious, there were many wounds, and in order to prevent infection, Leng Qi simply wrapped my entire head with gauze after disinfection, revealing only my nose, mouth and two eyes. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info I was also very helpless, I didn't expect that the bald head who was really in distress now has nothing to do, and I was lying next to me watching the excitement but made it look like this, which is not just a shame...... It's so humiliating......
After treating the wound, I got up and walked over to the corpse to check on it.
It was a man of about forty years old, with curly hair hanging down his shoulders, a very thick beard on his face, and a thick beard that almost covered most of his face. He wears a sky-blue tracksuit, rubber shoes, and an oval badge on his chest, in addition to a badge representing his identity around his neck, which looks like a medal for some kind of award.
Unlike the 'Lips' who was lying in the dog's coffin before, this man's facial expression was strange, his face was still stained with tears, and his expression was extremely desperate, as if something destined had happened. Leng Qi roughly examined it from head to toe, and then took a deep breath: "Like the previous corpse, he didn't have any wounds on his body, and the cause of death is unknown. As she spoke, she picked up the badge and glanced at it: "But his identity is Professor Quansi, and he is more than one level higher than the previous staff." ”
"Quans? This name is unlucky, and you must be 'all dead' when you enter the tomb......" The bald head grinned, habitually rummaged in the left and right pockets of the corpse, and then took out a rectangular black object: "What is this, Lao Zhang, you and Leng Nuxia are technicians, you two can identify it." With that, he reached out and handed it over, rummaging through the other pockets of the corpse.
I took it in my hand and took a closer look, and found that it was a small black square similar to a USB portable hard drive, not large, with two buttons on the left and right sides of the side, and an opening of less than a centimeter at the bottom. I pressed one of the buttons casually, and suddenly there was a soft 'click' sound in the small square, and then there was no response. Bones poked their heads out and asked, "Lao Zhang, what is that?" ”
I shook my head slightly, pressed the other buttons a few more times, and was about to give it to Leng Qi for her to see, when a voice suddenly came out of the small square: "Lao Zhang, what is that?" ”
It was the voice of bones, and the four of them looked at each other after hearing it, and then said in unison: "Tape recorder? ”
Tape recorders are very common, and with the increasing development of technology, every mobile phone now has a recording function on the repeater and even MP3. In today's society, there are generally only two kinds of people who are specially equipped with this kind of miniature tape recorder, one is a scientist in the laboratory, and the other is an archaeologist in the archaeological bureau. Because they have to record every detail they encounter in their work, so that they can analyze it in depth later.
The miniature tape recorder we have found now also indirectly proves the identity of this 'Quansi' professor.
Thinking of this, an idea suddenly popped into my mind, maybe what was recorded in this tape recorder can help us better understand this pyramid, and maybe even know what the archaeological bureau found here two months ago and what they encountered, and the reason why they quit halfway and blocked the news from the outside world.
When I used to be a reporter in a newspaper, I often used this kind of thing when I went out for unannounced visits, so it was not difficult to operate, the only headache was that there was no display screen on this recorder, and if you wanted to hear the sound recorded before, you could only work on the four buttons on the left and right sides.
After sitting on the side and studying for seven or eight minutes, I didn't know which key was pressed correctly, and an unfamiliar voice finally sounded. The voice sounded very old, but it was sonorous and powerful, and there was a feeling of getting old and strong.
I excitedly beckoned the others to come and listen and see what was recorded. But the excitement didn't last long, and after a few seconds it turned into helplessness. Because the voices coming out of the tape recorder are all native Arabic in Egypt, it sounds no different from the Book of Heaven to us, and it is difficult to translate with Leng Qi's mastery of Arabic.
Sighing, I was about to give up, my bones suddenly widened my eyes, as if I remembered something, and shouted softly, 'Wait', and then took out my mobile phone in my trouser pocket with my backhand, adjusted it to an interface and said to me: "Lao Zhang, you turn it up louder and put it again." ”
I glanced at his phone's interface, which is a spoken language translation software for tourists who travel abroad but don't know a foreign language, which can convert the received words into the specified language and read them back according to the voice.
Knowing what the bones meant, I immediately reset the recording and started from scratch, and although I didn't know if it would work, I had to try it anyway.
After fifteen seconds of silence, voices began to emerge from the tape recorder, and slow Arabic sentences were heard. After a few seconds of pause, it was actually converted into Chinese by the software and read out in a relatively mechanical electronic sound. Although the meaning of the translation is not 100% correct, it is enough for us to understand and understand. For a moment, all four of them closed their mouths and listened quietly to the translation.
The recording began just two months ago, when the Pyramid of Ocala had just been discovered. Professor Quans's voice was so excited that he almost shouted, "The pyramid found yesterday in Esna is a new tower that has never been excavated, and it is even grander than I expected, and I will be there tomorrow at noon to begin my one hundred and thirty-seventh excavation!" ”
"It's 12 o'clock at noon on January 27, 2016, and we've arrived in Esna, and now this pyramid is right in front of me, and he's ...... It's so beautiful......"
"On the 28th, the excavation went very well and we found many artifacts, but I think there is more space and more for us to discover......"
"On the 29th, at eight o'clock this morning, a section of the passage suddenly collapsed, fortunately there were no casualties, and as of four o'clock in the afternoon, the collapse location has been cleared......
Judging from the time of each recording, Professor Quansi's habit is to work during the day and record the day's findings in just a few sentences when he rests at night.
According to the archaeological time, the archaeological bureau excavated in the pyramid for at least a month or more, so the recording period should also be more than a month. We didn't have that much time to listen to everything bit by bit, so I fast-forwarded a while and stopped on February 25, 2016, because from here on, Professor Quans's voice was noticeably starting to get flustered.
"It's February 25, 2016, and we've found a lot of artifacts, but strangely, we haven't found the body of the pharaoh. And something terrible happened today, Pete is missing, and now the police have intervened, hoping that he will be fine......"
"On the 26th, the excavation progress was suspended, Pete still hasn't been found, maybe the curse is real, and our arrival has committed an unforgivable sin......"
Hearing this, the bald head was stunned: "'Pete'? Listening to this, the Archaeological Bureau has suffered heavy casualties, and there are already three fewer people in our knowledge. There's also that curse, it shouldn't be the curse of the Mayans, right? ”
Leng Qi shook his head slightly: "In ancient Egyptian legends, the pharaoh and his pyramid are sacrosanct, otherwise those who enter the tower will receive an indelible curse." The curse that Professor Quans spoke of should be similar. ”
After tossing and turning for so long, I was so hungry and grunting that I pulled a sausage out of my backpack and continued to record while eating. But what he heard next was Professor Quans's voice so nervous and panicked that he didn't even record the date anymore, as if he had encountered something that terrified him so much.
"Pete has come to me, I have to go in and find him, I have angered the gods, I am going to make amends, to make amends......"
"The curse is real, and I can't escape it, whoever enters this pyramid will die, and no one will be able to escape! I'm going to die too...... It could be today, tomorrow...... Or the day after tomorrow. I...... Can't escape ......."
This is the last sentence that can be translated by a mobile phone, and the next few recordings are all vague and so faint that the software simply can't recognize them, and we can no longer know what they mean. Although all the Chinese translated by the software are silent electronic sounds, what I heard in this oraka pyramid still made me shudder and nervous uncontrollably.
The bald head looked at the desperate expression on Professor Quansi's face and sighed slightly: "It seems that this foreign pyramid is much more evil than our domestic tombs, speaking of which, this 'all dead' professor has carried out more than a hundred excavations, and he can be regarded as an old fritter, how did he die so inexplicably in the end." It's not normal, there must be something greasy here! Saying that, he turned around and examined the body from head to toe again, his expression even more surprised: "It's really a hell of an evil sect, there is not even a needle eye on the body, how did you die?" ”
I slipped the recorder into my backpack: "I've been running underground for more than ten years, and you're also an old fritter, and it's not like you haven't met the evil sect, so you have to do something about it." Okay, let's get out of here, lest the kobold come back later. ”
As soon as the words fell, two angry roars came from a distance, and then a rush of heavy footsteps approached from small to large. Rum, who was lying on the side, immediately bounced up from the ground, looked at the opening that the kobold had disappeared before, and barked his teeth!
Hearing this voice, we were suddenly startled in our hearts, and knew that the kobold had indeed returned, and it seemed that there was more than one roar and pace!
looked at each other and were stunned for two seconds, and slapped their bald heads on their heads: "Open your crow's mouth!" What the am I ...... Oh my god!! ”
