Chapter 350: Evelyn's Illusion
In 1933, somewhere in Egypt, in the burial chamber of ruins, in the place where the Scorpion the Great fought the last enemy five thousand years ago.
O'Connor and Evelyn did live peacefully for a while after giving birth to little Alex, but after Evelyn recovered her body, the two couldn't be quiet at all, and resumed their original lives, exploration and archaeology.
However, the two did not forget about little Alex, and little Alex is also very perfect, inheriting the excellent cells of the two parents, and is very interested in adventure archaeology, and slowly grew up, staying in the library for longer than staying at home.
And O'Connor and Evelyn, seeing that little Alex was interested in archaeology, actually brought little Alex, who was only seven years old, to archaeology, and little Alex was also very interested in this, which can also be regarded as a son inheriting his father's business on a certain stroke.
And this time the archaeological targets, O'Connor and Evelyn, were not chosen blindly, but because of Evelyn.
In the last few months, Evelyn has been dreaming the same dream and dreaming of the same place, and these same dreams, unlike other dreams, ordinary normal dreams, will forget jì when she wakes up, and even if she remembers, she only remembers a small part, very vaguely and clearly, but Evelyn can clearly remember the things in the dream.
This dream has been haunting Evelyn, and Evelyn's heart is also hinting that she should go to find the place in the dream, so Evelyn followed her inner voice, took O'Connor and little Alex, and followed the hints in the dream and her own intuition, and came here, where she found the remains of this tomb.
"Ahh O'Connor held a torch. With a pistol in his hand. Exploring back and forth. After seeing that there was no danger, he put the gun away, and when he turned around, he saw a person standing behind him, screaming in fright.
Standing behind O'Connor was a seven- or eight-year-old child standing on a rock, who was also yelled at by O'Connor. Startled, he sat down directly on the ground.
"Hah! Ha ha! Alex!? O'Connor was frightened, his heart fluttered, he gasped twice, calmed down his startled feelings, looked at the ground, and the startled child said.
This child is O'Connor and Evelyn's child, and little Alex has grown up.
"Haha, do you think the mummy is resurrected, scared like this." Alex looked at O'Connor as frightened. Some mischievous laughter and mouthful.
"About this. I'll sue you when I'm free, but now, you sue me first, what are you doing when you come down, didn't I tell you to stay up? O'Connor pulled Alex up and asked Alex.
"But I—" Alex stood up and said to O'Connor.
"No, it's dangerous down here!" O'Connor looked at Alex and, very cautiously, interrupted Alex as he spoke.
Since the Immorton incident in Hamnata eight years ago, O'Connor and Evelyn have completely subverted his outlook on life and worldview, and every time he and Evelyn have adventures or archaeology, he is very cautious, not only afraid of the living mummy, but also the trap is very well-known, although, since Immorton, O'Connor and Evelyn have not seen any other resurrected mummies.
And O'Connor loved his precious son Alex, and he didn't want to put Alex in danger because of any accidents, because of traps or something.
"But I'm up there, and I see your tattoo!" However, Alex seemed to have been immune to O'Connor's words, completely ignored them, and continued to finish his words, as he spoke, picking off the bracer on O'Connor's right wrist.
"See what?" O'Connor was stunned for a moment and asked casually.
"Your tattoo, on the wall at the door, has exactly the same spiral decoration, with pyramids, and eyes and emperors, exactly like your pattern." Alex snapped O'Connor's wrist and pointed to the tattoo on O'Connor's wrist, and spoke.
"Really?" O'Connor asked.
"Really!" Alex nodded excitedly.
"Okay, I'll go up and see it later, now, I want you to wait for me." O'Connor said casually, then pointed to it and said, let Alex go back.
"But—but—" Alex wanted to say something, but he wanted to stay down there, it was too boring up there.
"Grab your things, I'll go up to you later, go quickly." O'Connor urged Alex, and the two spoke a few more words, and in the end, Alex reluctantly compromised, after all, he was soft-spoken, so he had to obediently return to the ground.
"Do whatever you want, while your mom is busy digging other people's graves." O'Connor said the first half of the sentence to Alex, and when he said the second half, his tone lowered and he said with some sighs.
"Hey, what just happened?" O'Connor walked to Evelyn's location, Evelyn was using a brush to sweep the dust from the stone door, and when she saw O'Connor coming, she asked casually.
"It's nothing, Alex has something to show me, I swear, this little ghost is becoming more and more like you." O'Connor brought the box with the digging tools and said to Evelyn.
"Do you mean getting more attractive, more cute, and more glamorous?" When Evelyn heard this, she came over, leaned against the stone pillar, and asked O'Connor with a smile.
"Neither, he's going to drive me crazy." O'Connor said, kissing Evelyn.
The two have been married for almost eight years now, and the so-called seven-year itch seems to have no zài at all for the two, and the love between the two has not decreased with the passage of time, but has become more mellow like red wine, and the two are in love, not at all, even Alex can't stand it.
'Boom! O'Connor used a crowbar to pry the stone door open, and the stone door fell backwards heavily, stirring up countless dust.
Raising the torch, and then the brightness of the firelight, I saw that there were several rows of shelves inside, and dozens of mummies were lying quietly on the shelves, spider webs were like curtains, hanging on them, and looking down, there were countless snow-white bones on the ground, and countless skulls, indicating that these were human corpses, not things.
What's even more numbing to the scalp is that the ground is everywhere, crawling full of scorpions, all kinds, large and small, watching the scorpions slowly crawl out from the hollow eye sockets of the skull, very infiltrating, if there are people with dense phobia and fear of insects here, seeing the scene in front of them at this time, they will definitely be scared screaming and running away.
"Ever since I started dreaming about this place, I've been thinking about it all the time." Evelyn was obviously not the kind of woman who would be afraid of insects, nor would she be afraid of corpses, looking at the stone gate, this seeping scene, she was not afraid at all, and then the firelight, looked back and forth, looked at it, and walked in as she walked, avoiding the scorpions on the ground.
"I haven't slept well since you started dreaming." O'Connor, who was following behind, held a torch and complained that O'Connor did not carefully avoid the scorpion, but jumped directly on the scorpion, stepped on the scorpion and walked over, trampling on an unknown number of scorpions.
In fact, these scorpions just look scary, as long as you are careful, you will be fine if you don't get bitten by them, and if you want to take the risk of digging a grave, it is necessary to be fully equipped, the poisonous needle of the scorpion can't pierce the scorpion at all, these countless scorpions, in fact, are not as good as the small scarabs, which are threatening and more frightening.
"I feel like I've been here before, I know, I've been here." Evelyn said as she walked forward.
"Hey! Evelyn, no one has been to this place for at least three thousand years, except these guys. O'Connell heard this, obviously not believing Evelyn's words, and as he spoke, he pointed to the countless bones around him.
'Click! At this moment, Evelyn suddenly stopped, looked at a place, suddenly reached out and grabbed it, grabbed it without hesitation, and broke the thing that her eyes were staring at, and then she saw the shelf on the side, and suddenly shrank back, and a dark path appeared.
"Then why do I know the way?" Looking behind the shelves, the hidden road, Evelyn looked at O'Connor and asked.
"Uhhhh
Although it was not clear why, the two of them walked in, followed the road inside, walked a few corners, and came to a closed, locked stone door.
And at the moment Evelyn walked to the room with the locked stone door, she suddenly shook her whole body, closed her eyes for a moment, and then opened them, and found that the surrounding scene had become.
The room, which had been pitch black before, and the walls were all gray, suddenly lit up, and there were countless torches on the walls, illuminating the whole room, and the walls were beautifully patterned, and the locked dilapidated stone doors were all shining gold, very new, and Evelyn looked around with some surprise.
'Click! At that moment the stone door suddenly opened, and a man pushed it open, and inside the door was a platform with a golden box on top of it, and on either side of the box stood two Egyptian guards, motionless, like statues.
The stone door slowly closed, and a man pulled the lock open, twisted it a few times, and locked the stone door, and Evelyn stood there, watching the man carefully, how he locked it, and remembering it.
After the man was locked, he turned around and walked over to Evelyn, and at this time, O'Connor came over with a torch and collided with the man head-on, O'Connor passed directly through the man, and the surrounding scene was blurred for a while, and Evelyn was still in the room full of dust and cobwebs.
"Shhh Evelyn took a breath, and the whole person came back to her senses, looking around suspiciously, holding the torch and shaking it back and forth, as if she wanted to return to the illusion she had seen before. (To be continued......)
