【Rosetta Stone】.

Back in the First Dynasty, the Pharaoh had a set of cards made from luck.

The exact origin is unknown.

There are 14 lines of pictogram ancient Egyptian script on the tablet, and each ancient character can be drawn as a separate card.

This deck is known as the "Rosetta Card" and is in the hands of the Pharaohs and Priests.

Two of the most powerful of these, the Egyptian word tar (tower) and ro (luo), the meaning of these two words themselves means the way of kings.

No one knows the origin of the tarot, but only that it will affect the trajectory of the stars in the dark, and those who are not mentally strong, with a glimpse of it, will be like crazy and can never recover.

The high priest has always been unbeliever, and has never had any abnormalities in his use for many years.

This year, the stars are in flux.

The High Priest decided to reshuffle the cards by spending life, and drew them in order according to the current calendar year, hoping to get some hints.

The high priest began to shuffle the cards, as in previous years.

The deck changes.

Suddenly.

It was as if he had seen something in the cards. Foreign body.

The old priest approached the pile, and suddenly something jumped out.

Frightened, he let go, and the cards were scattered all over the ground.

"Damn bugs!"

After seeing what it was, the priest fixed his mind.

It's just a little bug.

So the cards on the ground were gathered and shuffled to start over.

Not for a moment. Another foreign object has jumped out!

This time, the bugs jumped straight onto the white tabletop.

Syllable!

The priest was quick and slapped it with his hand.

He could feel that. The touch of popping pulp.

Nehekhara warriors pinch bugs, I think that's how it feels, right?

The priest raised his hand.

Suddenly, a puzzled expression.

Nothing!!

Hallucination?

Looks like you're too careful?

Nothing on hand.

But the feeling of insect corpses left on his hands remained.

Sticky, diaphragmatic, nausea.

Let's wash our hands.

The priest gave up playing the cards, got up, went into the house, and began to wash his hands.

Again.

The feeling of diaphragm is still there.

Washed again.

The hand is already as smooth as jade, but. The feeling of diaphragm is still there.

The high priest became a little irritated and began to wash his hands over and over again.

Over and over again, over and over again.

"High priest, astrological signs. Yes!!!! ”

The priestess who came in to report the astrological signs exclaimed!!

She saw that the high priest was washing his hands, the water was flowing non-stop, and the high priest was rubbing vigorously, and the skin and flesh kept falling down, as if there were only white bones left.

"What's wrong?" The high priest turned his head.

The priestess shuddered at the strange scene in front of her.

"I ask you, what's wrong with the astrological signs?" The high priest asked again.

"You, Your Hand!!" The priestess looked incredulous when she saw the high priest with her usual expression.

"Oh, it's okay, it's dirty." The high priest looked at it over and over again, as if it were really fine.

But.

The meat is gone!!!

The priestess breathed heavily and retreated.

"Forget it, don't shuffle, it's just right, you accompany me to shuffle the cards, and look at the dynastic luck of this ephemeris." The High Priest shook his head, walked down the hall again, and stood at the table.

The priestess froze, she didn't even know what was going on, what to do!

"Come here, what are you doing in a daze?" The voice of the high priest was heard impatiently.

The woman could only walk over with a hard head.

Maybe the High Priest has invented some new deck, and like the mummy, there's nothing to be afraid of, right?

"I'll shuffle the cards, you pick one." The high priest's bony hands began to shuffle the cards.

I only saw that the priestess's scalp was numb.

"Wash it, take it."

The woman slowly pulled out one and looked at the card, which seemed to be the "sun".

"Good pumping." The High Priest smiled and approached step by step: "Ra, star, represents you, you of the Third Dynasty. ”

The "your" priestess was cramped to keep her distance, and the high priest was obviously not normal.

"Pick up your cards."

The woman had no choice but to do so, and on the card face, the light of Ra was shining on all beings, as usual.

"Who do you think will have the last laugh at today's table?" The high priest suddenly threw out an inexplicable question.

The priestess shook her head, but after thinking about it, she spoke again: "Our Third Dynasty is vast, and it can establish a star state for all generations. ”

"Good is good, big is big, but do you see that bug on the card?"

"Yikes!" When the priestess heard this, she was so frightened that she threw the cards away, and then looked at them, where were there any insects?

"Okay, falling, perfect, a sign of dynastic luck, they're coming out of the cards, they're all over the place." The high priest smiled and shook his head: "The Third Dynasty is over, although it looks big, but no matter how big the background is, it is useless, it is just full of holes." ”

"What the hell are you talking about????" The priestess was frightened and puzzled.

"Didn't say anything, let's continue, the next one, let's choose."

The priestess shuddered and pulled out another one.

"Good pumping." The high priest's tone was as usual: "[Temperance] means that they reproduce and live without moderation, they are powerful, they are everywhere, but they lack imagination, and they are sentenced to death. Keep pumping. ”

The high priestess's bony hand was almost up to his face, and the priestess could only continue to draw one.

"This one is kind of interesting." The high priest put away his smile and carefully studied it for a long time: "[Hermit], the mysterious Oriental human race, appeared late and has great strength, but I think that the second ancestor is just that, the ancestor is generous, too indulged in the glory and ancient power of the past, there will be no development, and the death penalty will be drawn again." ”

One, one.

One after another.

From the mouth of the high priest, a thousand strange interpretations were spoken, but nothing more than two words, death penalty.

"I'm running out of cards, the last one, I'll draw it, right?"

The priestess was already cornered, and fear crept all over her body, and she didn't dare to move, but nodded.

The High Priest slowly pulled out one, and then his expression was ecstatic!

As if victorious, he announced: "[Priestess]!! It turns out that you are the winner, congratulations, you have the last laugh! ”

"Woo." When the priestess saw this kind of picture, she dared to respond, and she was so frightened that she sobbed quietly.

"Why won't you laugh when you're victorious??!!! Am my prophecies wrong??? You're laughing, you're laughing!! The high priest turned from ecstasy to rage, and the priestess merely wept.

Suddenly, the high priest grabbed the priestess by the hair, pulled it up fiercely, and forced the card in his hand into the woman's mouth!

The sharp edge of the card slashed her mouth open, and blood stained the beautiful card surface of [Priestess].

"I can't be wrong, the Lord can't be wrong, God can't be wrong!! If you don't laugh, I'll help you laugh, you laugh for me!! Laugh!!! ”

"Uh" The priestess only had time to let out an inhuman-like wail from her throat before her skull was violently torn apart by the cards, and her body gradually went limp.

Seeing this, the "high priest" also grabbed the woman's hair with her scalp and sat down on the ground in a gloomy manner, ignoring the blood stains on the priest's robe.

Phew

Cluck~

After sitting still for a long time, the high priest suddenly laughed strangely.

"Hehe, giggles, hahaha, hahahaha, I laughed, I laughed, I laughed to the end, I won, I won!!"

As he spoke, he picked up the scattered cards from the ground, stuffed them in his mouth, and gobbled them up!

"Eat you, eat all of you, bad seed, bad seed!! It is too lonely, too lonely, and it summons you with lofty ideals to build a lifelike, lively universe, you. Your war has killed it, and you will pay for your lives, and you will pay for your lives!!! Belch!!! ”

One by one, the cards seemed to swell and ferment in the high priest's belly.

The high priest's belly grew bigger and bigger.

then

There was a muffled sound.

subsequently

It's silent.
