Chapter 145: Gravedigging
Digging up graves is a type of crime that is the most heinous crime in traditional culture. For no other reason, under the torture of long-term human events, people will always unconsciously begin to imagine and hope, and begin to hope that after their death, they can find real peace and tranquility in the earth or in the sky - and perhaps enjoy the luxury treatment that they have not enjoyed in their lives.
Nazareth was a great wise man, and perhaps a great prophet – his blood could heal, his teachings led Longinus to become a demigod, and legend has it that he was able to feed 5,000 people with five loaves of bread and five fish. But whatever Nazareth was once a man, he probably wanted peace after his death—after all, his life was so dramatic that anyone who read about his experiences would feel a little exhausted.
But the slumber and tranquility of Nazareth could not continue, and ten meters from his tomb, a trainee god of the Temple of the Gods, his servants and concubines, plus a demigod who had learned to emulate his teachings, and a clown who liked to wear purple clothes, were digging into his tomb.
"When I followed in his footsteps and walked near the Sea of Galilee...... "The centurion stopped his movements, wiped the sweat from his forehead that was not there, and said with a wry smile, "but I never thought that one day I would dig him out of the grave myself." In fact, I never thought he would be buried in a coffin. ”
"There's a lot more to do than that. Shen Xi took the position of the centurion, took the digging tool in his hand and continued to throw it hard, "After digging Nazareth out of the sarcophagus, you will have to absorb the power that inherited him." What are you going to do then? Eat his body?"
Agnes, who was standing in the back, let out a disgusting retching sound, and she protested angrily, "Can you please stop talking about such a disgusting topic?"
The clown stopped, grabbed the shovel in Shen Xi's hand and threw it on the ground, and then waved his fist at Agnes, "Don't criticize other people's eating habits, ma'am!
The odd and complex composition of the team did not go well, and they were surprised to find that the cement poured around the pre-set pipes was incredibly hard. Even if Shen Xi tried his best, he could only leave a shallow white mark on it.
Shen Xi was accustomed to relying on his god body to be omnipotent, and now that he had returned, he had a little bit of a sense on his face. Had it not been for the timely call of the O5 Council to explain to him the properties of these strange cements, the SCP Foundation building in Linhu City would have been destroyed by the annoyance of the gods.
"The cement is specially treated. They can only be mined by specific tools. Orn nodded at the phone, but he didn't know that these movements were completely done for the blind man to see—Shen Xi couldn't see his movements over the phone. "The cement poured in that area is sensitive to glass, and only tools made of glass can dig it up. ”
It's a very beautiful reverse thinking trap, and cement is so hard that no one would think of digging through fragile glass. But this also brought a lot of trouble to the work of Shen Xi and others. The most straightforward point is that they simply can't find the right glass tools – who is idle to make a shovel and hammer out of glass?
The group tossed for a long time, and in the end, Shen Xi could only take out three glass tools from his miracle box. It's just that there are only five people and only three tools, and there is no way to get everyone to help speed up the progress at once, so they can only let the smallest clown stand below, and Shen Xi, Agnes, and Longinus alternately dig. Nguyen An was in charge of carrying out the debris they had excavated.
The division of labor and cooperation between the five people is clear, and the progress is not bad. Within twenty minutes, two glass shovels had been dug up. The passage was only dug up to a depth of about two meters.
"Damn, if you're not happy, don't you, what are you throwing tools for?" Shen Polyp looked painfully at the glass shovel on the ground that was smashed to pieces by the clown, this was the last glass tool they had in their hands now.
"Not throwing anything is not enough to express the anger in my heart right now!" the clown seemed to be genuinely angry, and he even jumped up and tried to hit Shen Xi's knee, "Mind your woman! If this were placed on the ground, she would be stoned to death by those believers!"
Shen Xi was also annoyed, "I don't know if she will be stoned, but if you continue to argue, I guarantee that you will be stoned out by me." The clown is naturally angry because his cannibalism is also included in the category of "disgusting". But because of this anger, and threatening that Agnes would be stoned by others, this was really beyond the scope of Shen Xi's patience - he had no intention of putting up with it. For a madman of the Joker's type, good words are actually useless. The effect of pressing on the ground and exploding a hammer is worth a thousand words. This is the experience he has learned from years of street fighting.
"What a faux pas!" the clown still shouted, but this time his voice was much quieter, and he was noticeably more cautious in his words. "How can you criticize other people's habits at will? This is a very immoral, very self-centered thing!"
"Not convinced?" Shen Xi glanced at the clown, took out three glass tools from the miracle box again, and distributed them among the other people.
"Not convinced!" the clown tilted his head, his messy blonde hair smearing his face.
"Don't accept it!" Shen Xi rolled up his sleeves and took out the dagger that had stabbed Prometheus from his arms, "Otherwise, I'll stab you a few more times, and then you hold it back." ”
Deterrence by force has had a very good effect. The clown is back to work, and the progress is gratifying. The heavy concrete blocks on top were easily dug away, and the clown busily shuttled under the feet of the crowd, smoothing the dug passage. It seems that after having had an experience with glass tools, everyone has learned a lot of lessons from it. This time it went very smoothly, everyone didn't even bother to chat, and everyone was working hard. After another twenty minutes, the tool in Shen Xi's hand suddenly clicked and shattered into tens of thousands of pieces.
The clown laughed and was about to make a sarcastic speech, but was stepped on by Shen Xi, and he could even feel Shen Xi crush his foot twice on his mouth. Then a voice of surprise came from the passage, "Dig it, this is the sarcophagus!"
