“……”

Everyone present looked at each other wordlessly, only to feel a chill surging up in their hearts.

A few of the less timid members even looked around, for fear that a ghost would suddenly emerge from somewhere.

"Or ...... Let's open this coffin and take a look? ”

Unable to seem to care that the coffin in front of him could be the artifact of some kind of ancient ruin, Okabe asked tentatively.

"Uh, that's a bit out of place, is it?"

John, who was also a little scared, took a step back decisively, for fear that Okabe, a reckless man, would lift the lid of the coffin in the next second.

Except, of course, physical fears and fears.

John was also a little worried that if he lifted the lid of the coffin, he would destroy what was kept inside.

In case that thing is something very important, John, the supreme commander, will have to carry the cauldron.

"Now is not the time to shirk responsibility."

I really can't get used to John's style, and the wind rarely shows his strong side.

"Anyway, this thing has been brought out now."

"Even if it's for the safety of our base, we have to figure out what's in it."

Hearing this, John finally stopped talking.

As a qualified member of the bureaucracy, John really didn't want to take the blame, let alone cause trouble.

Do more wrong, do less wrong, and don't do well, this is the iron law that John has always believed in.

But in the current situation, John knew that he had no choice at all, and that if he did nothing, it would only lead to more unknown and serious consequences.

"Now that you've discussed it, let's open the coffin and take a look!"

Looking at the coffin with interest, Lu Xuan made no secret of his interest in it.

Because in this coffin made of unknown materials, Lu Xuan felt a familiar power.

It was telekinesis, but it was more pure and massive than ordinary telekinesis.

Without becoming Galvin, even Lu Xuan did not have such a huge reserve of telekinesis.

It's just that this mental power is so calm, it's not as active as normal mental power at all.

If there is one word to describe it, perhaps the word "dead silence" can best describe the activity of this force.

[Feeling...... Like a dead man? 】

Such a thought flashed through his mind, and the curiosity in Lu Xuan's eyes became even stronger.

Mental power is the power of life and wisdom.

Once an intelligent life dies, the telekinesis will also dissipate.

This is no exception, even Lu Xuan.

So he was curious about how the unknown existence in this coffin still maintained such a huge telekinesis after his death.

"Good! Coming soon! ”

I saw that the wind gritted his teeth, took the lead in front of the coffin, and then lifted the lid of the coffin.

Squeak......

With a tooth-aching sound, the friction of the lid made a sound similar to that of steel.

Such a rash move made John's hairs stand on end, and his body unconsciously hid behind Lu Xuan.

"Uh......"

Even Lu Xuan didn't expect the wind to be so "reckless", and a look of surprise flashed in his eyes for a moment.

However, after a short period of stunnedness, Lu Xuan glanced at John behind him without a trace.

He found that the interpersonal relationships in Caro's base seemed to be a little more interesting than he imagined?

As the supreme commander of the base, John's first reaction when he felt the danger was to hide behind himself, an outsider?

Is it because of your identity that the other party feels that she has the power to fight the danger?

Or had he sensed some kind of danger and no longer trusted the members of Team Tempest?

Whatever the reason, John was definitely not as timid as he appeared.

[Sure enough, being able to be assigned to the Carlo base as the supreme commander, this guy is definitely more difficult than he sees. 】

Taking a step forward quietly, Lu Xuan had time to look at the contents of the coffin.

To Lu Xuan's surprise, it turned out to be a mummy-like dried corpse wrapped inside.

However, unlike ordinary dried corpses, this corpse not only has a distorted appearance like a monster, but also has a special texture throughout its body.

At first glance, it looked as if the monster was still alive.

Other than that, the monster's most striking thing is the huge hole in its chest.

It looked like it had been stabbed through the chest with some sharp weapon, and then it was stirred with great effort.

With the information on the stone tablet that Zhizi had searched for earlier, Lu Xuan could confirm at a glance that the dried corpse in front of him must be the supreme leader of the Nuaza Star people, Isilis.

For the existence of this self-proclaimed "god of life and death", physical death does not seem to be the end of life.

Whether it is this body that has remained intact after 100 million years of death, or the mental power contained in its body, it all indicates its essence of death without stiffness.

"What kind of monster is this?"

Just as Lu Xuan was about to take a closer look at the dried corpse, John, who had quietly emerged from behind, muttered something disgustingly.

"He's not a monster, he's Isilis."

Without concealing some of the information he knew at all, Lu Xuan's words immediately attracted the attention of everyone present.

But what Lu Xuan didn't notice was that when the three people present heard him reveal the identity of Isilis, a subtle hint of surprise flashed in their eyes.

"Isiris?"

"Isis? Osiris? ”

"The goddess of life and lord of the underworld in Egyptian mythology?"

This time it was Lu Xuan's turn to look at John in some surprise, and he really couldn't understand why the other party had such an association.

But when you think about it, John's association does seem to have some point.

If it was in a previous life, Isis and Osiris were most likely the prototypes of Isilis.

But in the world of Tiga, it's the opposite.

Isiris, who appeared on Earth long before the birth of human civilization, is the prototype of the goddess of life and the lord of the underworld in Egyptian mythology.

"Well, you can understand that."

After a short period of thought, Lu Xuan nodded in affirmation of John's statement.

"On Earth about 100 million years ago, Isiris appeared and destroyed a civilization at that time, and had an incalculable impact on the entire Earth's ecosystem."

"By the time of Ancient Egypt, it was probably certain creatures who regained their fear of Isillis and then shaped the mythological genealogy of Ancient Egypt."

"But none of that matters......"

"The most important thing now is to figure out what it means for this coffin to be rediscovered."
