Chapter 8 is at your fingertips
"Probably the Egyptians and the Aztecs, the people who built this pyramid were religious sacrifices, and this is where the chosen ones sacrificed for God, and those who were chosen lay here, and they did not show any signs of being bound, and they died of their own free will, men and women, and the cruel punishment was seen as an honor, and they were the lucky ones." The archaeologist said as he walked around the altar as he took out his tools to observe the corpses.
"They gave their lives, and the hunt began." A guy said mysteriously while holding a DV player and patting the strange symbols on the sacrificial table.
"What the hell is going on here?" An expedition member walked up to him and asked in disbelief.
"It is very common for the heart to be taken from the body during sacrifice." The guy explained it well, "As early as 3000 B.C., 400 years before the Great Pyramid complex was built, the Egyptians already valued death and the afterlife. The priest cut the carotid artery of the victim with a knife, and the young man went with Pharaoh. For the ancient Egyptians, human sacrifice was not a bad thing, but a sacrifice of life for a noble purpose to a god who was originally a pharaoh, and this ritual also had the meaning of promoting the growth of crops, consolidating power, praying for victory in war, praying for rain, and so on. The ancient tribes had different levels of development of various civilizations, and the ways of sacrifice were also varied, and they were extremely cruel and vicious, bringing the cruel and curious nature of human nature to the extreme. ”
"But these people's chests are more like they're bursting from the inside out, and the heart isn't located in the center of the chest, as if a time bomb has been quietly planted, and when the time comes, it will explode." Crimson walked over and asked, pointing to the abnormal wound on the corpse's chest.
"Huh?"
There was a small shock, which attracted everyone's attention and gathered around one by one.
"What did you find, Mark?" Weyland said, looking at a black man crouched in the middle of the room.
"Hey, there seems to be a room down there, a passage to another level." The black man named Mark said as he took a glow stick from his bosom and threw it into the tunnel marked with a strange pattern.
"Let's go to the room below, and some of the people will stay here to observe, and some of them will come with me." Knowing that there was another layer below, Weyland was intrigued and assigned tasks to the group.
Li Qi and Crimson and the others followed behind Wei Lander, and Mitarai Dalang brought 2 people to follow Li Qi and them, and he made eye comparisons to his teammates from time to time, but what they didn't know was that these movements that they thought were very hidden in their eyes were "seen" clearly by Li Qi.
Everyone walked slowly, and soon reached the next floor of the room, the huge room was surrounded by some statues of the Predator, which seemed very empty, and a large sarcophagus-like thing stood at the end of the room, which should be the place where the Predator's plasma shoulder cannon weapon was placed in the movie.
Li Qi's pupils dilated instantly, as if he had been stimulated, staring at the quaint sarcophagus, imagining that he was holding a shoulder cannon that could be used as a gun, and instantly made up a picture like this: I am a hero of the world, wearing the same skin as the Supreme Treasure, no, wearing the armor of a predator who can pretend to be forced by Meitu XX, and then holding the double guns stolen from them, stepping on colorful auspicious clouds, to meet my Zixia in the distance.
"This should be directly below the sacrificial burial chamber." Wood looked at his positioning watch, interrupted Li Qi's unrealistic yy, and said that the group walked further forward and found the glow stick that the black man Mark had dropped.
At the same time, Li Qi gradually felt a sense of uneasiness in his heart, although it was not strong but it had always existed, which made Li Qi a little suspicious if the Predator was coming faster than expected, or if he was an alien?
"Come and see, there's a sarcophagus here." Wood walked the front and asked everyone to go over to see the box containing the Predator's weapon.
"This is the Mayan calendar, this is the Aztec calendar, this, it's a combination lock. Day, month, year, and the calendar dial is set in 1904. After the archaeologists wiped the dust off the sarcophagus, they looked at the symbols on the sarcophagus, and when they noticed that the sarcophagus was a little strange, they said to Wood next to him.
"You're saying someone turned it on 100 years ago?" Wood smiled, but her eyes were full of suspicion.
"What time is it?" The archaeologist asked.
"October 10th." At this time, Li Qi said lightly, and at the same time walked next to him, Crimson and the others also stepped forward, and the people of Mitarai Dalang also quietly followed. Seeing their excited appearance of stretching their necks, Li Qi guessed that they were afraid that they would have to make some small moves again.
"10 October 2004." The archaeologist said as he set up those combination locks on the sarcophagus.
"Are you sure this will work?" Wood saw that after the archaeologist heard Li Qi's words, he went to transfer the organs, and asked suspiciously.
"I don't know, but if you don't try it, how do you know it doesn't work." The archaeologist couldn't hold back his excitement and began to set up the last mechanism.
"Whew!" As soon as the archaeologists had set up the mechanism, the lid of the sarcophagus slowly moved away, and a large amount of white mist erupted from the sarcophagus.
"Stand back!" Wood yelled, looking warily in the direction of the sarcophagus, they didn't know what was in the sarcophagus. So very nervously waiting for the fog to lift.
After a while, it turned out that nothing had happened. Everyone slowly walked towards the sarcophagus, wanting to see what was inside the sarcophagus, but there was still a lot of fog in the sarcophagus blocking everyone's view, and the archaeologist, who couldn't bear it, stepped forward and waved his hands to remove the white mist.
"Be careful!" Wood spoke up.
"Hey, isn't that okay! You're too nervous, don't collapse yourself too tightly, it's easy to get old! The archaeologist said so, but he still didn't look at Wood.
"If you want to die, you'd better keep it as you are!" Wood scoffed.
"Oh my God, hurry up and take a look at this." The archaeologists were as incredulous as if they had discovered a new continent, and ignored Wood, and the men behind him, who had tensed their nerves, immediately rushed forward and craned their necks to see what was so amazing to him.
When everyone approached, the white mist slowly dissipated, revealing the original appearance of the item, Li Qi also approached to see, there were 3 things similar to pistols that looked full of high-tech atmosphere in the sarcophagus, with a cold metallic luster, the corners of Li Qi's mouth were curved, and it was within reach.
