Chapter 38: The Sarcophagus
I can't help but be a little staggered, knowing that this insect devouring is the most inhumane torture. I always thought it was a punishment that had never been performed in legends, but I didn't expect it to be true in the real world.
Ancient Egypt had severe punishments, with the betrayer having his tongue cut off and the forger having his right hand cut off. If a nobleman or official committed treason, in order to protect their reputation, they were usually made to commit suicide. Often, these sinners voluntarily prostrate themselves and do not need to be done by the executioner.
The old ghost saw Qian Cheng screaming in panic like this, and asked with some puzzlement: "What's the matter, isn't it just a little bug, as for making such a fuss?" ”
"Little bugs?" Qian Cheng saw that the old ghost said this, so he hurriedly said, "Do you know what kind of little worm this is?" ”
"What kind?" The old ghost saw Qian Chengyan's expression, and hurriedly asked.
"This is the ancient Egyptian beetle, which eats human flesh!" Qian Cheng said with a stern expression, "Have you watched "The Mummy"? That's it. ”
"The Mummy?" The old ghost pretended to think about it, thought about it for a long time, and then suddenly seemed to think of something. hurriedly said to Qian Cheng: "You mean...... The explorer pulled it off the wall and put it in his bag. The kind that ends up getting into his body with a human foot and finally into his skull and eating his brain? ”
Qian Cheng didn't answer, just nodded.
Only then did the old ghost realize the severity of the matter, and said, "Damn, isn't that fictional?" ”
Although the old ghost asked, his hand still retracted unconsciously. It's really scary to think that I just brushed shoulders with death. The expression of infinite horror was overflowing. Qian Cheng and I struck while the iron was hot and used another strategy of persuasion to persuade the old ghost, so that he would not cause an uncontrollable situation because of some small profits.
At this time, the sarcophagus on our left suddenly moved!
The three of them were all in a panic, and hurriedly grabbed the snatch in their hands. Regardless of whether there are people or ghosts in it, in short, there can be no good kind in it. How could there be living creatures in an ancient tomb that has not been visited for thousands of years?
But at that moment, how I wished it was Duoduo or Lisa Wu. So, I tentatively asked, "Duoduo?" Lisa? ”
But. There was no response I was hoping for. And after the sarcophagus moved a little. There was no more movement. The old ghost and I were holding guns and tried to go up and check. It's not that we're curious, it's just that in such an environment, if we don't solve all our doubts. It's hard to feel at ease.
As soon as the old ghost and I approached the sarcophagus. The sarcophagus on the other side moved again!
This made the three of us really panic. quickly turned around and approached the sarcophagus here. However, this time it was the same as before. After a moment's movement, there was no movement. This time, the three of us came together. As soon as we approached the sarcophagus, the sarcophagus on the other side moved again.
The old ghost completely lost his patience this time, so he said angrily, "Damn, what the hell is it? ”
In fact, we all know in our hearts that the old ghost is not more afraid, but impatient because of inexplicable worry. Qian Chengdu and I stepped forward and patted the old ghost on the shoulder, signaling him to be calm. Then all three of them no longer changed direction at will because of the sarcophagus's movements, but identified a sarcophagus and decided to study it thoroughly.
In order to make it easier to figure out the situation, we chose a nearby sarcophagus that was still standing. This sarcophagus was moved just now. However, this sarcophagus is not the most luxurious compared to other sarcophagi. On the contrary, it is prosaic. Compared to other sarcophagi, it is even dull.
The three of them walked to the sarcophagus, and no one moved first, but you look at me and I look at you. In the end, I couldn't hold my breath anymore, so I said to the old ghost and Qian Cheng: "Two, give me cover, and I will unveil this mysterious and unknown ancient pharaoh!" ”
The old ghost and Qian Cheng nodded solemnly to me, and I stepped forward with courage.
However, as soon as he arrived in front of the sarcophagus, the embassy suddenly shook!
Nervously, I hurriedly took a few steps back, smeared oil on the soles of my feet, and fled back to the old ghost and Qian Cheng in three steps and two steps. Damn, in this case, the fool won't run!
When the old ghost saw me like this, he hurriedly laughed at me and said, "Yo hey, owner, look at your speed, you are about to catch up with Liu Xiang's 100-meter hurdles!" ”
"Fuck off!" I hurriedly gave the old ghost a middle finger, "Don't be ashamed of me, you have the ability to go!" ”
Originally, I just wanted to use the method of agitation to provoke the old ghost, but I didn't expect the old ghost to agree in one bite. Say, "Just go, what's the big deal." ”
So saying, the old ghost volunteered to step forward, wanting to laugh at my cowardice with his bravery and fearlessness.
Just as I was about to speak to cheer on the old ghost, I heard a slight rustling sound from time to time in the tomb. It was a very familiar sound, and we had heard it before we came in. It was only after the fire was lit that the little bugs hurriedly retreated.
However, now that we hear this "rustling" sound, we know that something is not good. Listening to the movement, it seems as if these beetles are approaching us.
I screamed in my heart that it was not good, and now I was trapped in this hole and the future was uncertain. Now catching up with this man-eating bug is even more creepy. However, I suddenly thought of the solution in "The Mummy", so I hurriedly beckoned the old ghost and Qian Cheng and asked them to light the torches quickly.
I don't know if this will work, but I'm prepared. As long as we are prepared, it is better than sitting back. I said to the old ghost and Qian Cheng: "Brothers, pay attention, no matter what happens, you can't let these damn things get close no matter what." ”
When the old ghost and Qian Cheng heard me say this, they agreed repeatedly. The old ghost said, "Damn, if you let these damn things get on you." Even if you bite it alive, you have to bite these damn things to death! ”
"That's a good dare! It's so nutritious! I joked to the old ghost, and when I saw him approaching the sarcophagus in front of me, I quickly asked, "What are you doing?" ”
"I'll check it out!" The old ghost said.
"Alright, don't do it! I didn't really want you to go alone. If it's an inspection, it's the three of us who check it together! I said categorically.
However, before I could finish speaking, the old ghost had already arrived in front of the sarcophagus. The old ghost just wanted to use the barrel to lift the coffin lid, but the sarcophagus actually "squeaked" and opened it by itself! (To be continued......)
