Chapter 201: Unsealed one after another
In the past, I followed the army around in this chaotic world, went to many places, encountered many things, and the more I watched, the more I understood. It's like, after years of summing up, he has come up with a law that is enough to deal with all kinds of people and try and test - the essence of human nature is not beautiful or ugly, it is realistic.
However, it was such a principle that he had taken as a guide, and it was put on the girl in front of him who was so spicy that she was inhaled by the wine, that it didn't work. He didn't understand whether he had a wrong view of human nature or a wrong view of her. This is the most genuine question in his heart.
"I know, you must wonder how someone like me could come to a place like this. ”
This is the most obvious point. A simple girl who has no experience in the world, chooses to travel long distances, tired and traveling, and actually comes here to suffer crimes?
A little girl who is full of nature and fantasizes about the world too beautifully? Believing that there is a reward for paying, and treating all this as a child of the family? Then, when she has come to this point and seen enough reality and enough darkness, it is time for her to wake up from her dreams, and it is time for her humanity to return to reality, and she should seriously reconsider whether this trip is worth it.
However, so far, she doesn't look scared off at all, even after going through so much, even if she numbs herself with alcohol, she doesn't mention leaving at all, so it seems that she is serious!
"Almost. ”
The answer to that question would also solve O'Connor's most innocent question, and he nodded.
"I naturally love Egypt. You know...... My father was ......," she picked up the pendant hanging from her necklace and showed the picture hidden inside, "a very, very famous explorer. He loved Egypt so much that he married my mother. She was Egyptian and an explorer. ”
She tries to give a convincing explanation at the root.
"I understand your parents...... I also...... Understood him, but ...... What are you doing here?"
But it clearly didn't work out.
These explanations may convince others, but they can't. He needed a more special, deeper, more practical, and therefore more powerful reason to convince himself why Evelyn was not afraid of hardship and insisted on doing things that were deeply incompatible with her social position. According to common sense, shouldn't the maidens in the flowering season stay in the greenhouse, be cared for, and enjoy the fruits of civilized society? Why is she willing to go out into the wild to endure the wind and rain?
Relatively speaking, Evelyn's parents are much easier to understand. Whatever the internal factors, her parents went on an expedition, it was a professional necessity, the environment demanded people, people had to compromise, this was very realistic, and likewise, it was also very human. And Jonathan, who is simpler than the explorer couple in the photo. A small problem, but the essence is not bad, and occasionally it can bring a little unexpected guy, although this accident doesn't know if it's good or bad. However, this man alone is still much better than the same stinky prison warden and Benny. But that's about it.
What he couldn't understand was Evelyn.
Knowing what O'Connor meant, Evelyn's face immediately changed, and she puffed out her mouth in anger. O'Connor's words, to her, sounded as if he were saying, why did you come here to be a little princess in a big city? Don't you know how many pounds and taels you have? Why do you want to find guilt for no reason? Isn't it a shame? Feeling that she has been offended again, how can she be willing to suffer this kind of discrimination?
"Listen, I'm probably not an explorer. She stood up excitedly, dancing and swaying like a drunkard, "not an adventurer, not a treasure hunter, much less a gunslinger!
"What's that?" O'Connor said, and now he might be able to learn more about this enigmatic beauty.
"I'm ......," she thought with a frown, "it's the librarian." Then she smiled, like a child, innocent and lovely.
O'Connor reluctantly agreed, and smiled, "Librarian?" Come here? What kind of explanation is this? The preface doesn't match the afterword, and he's already delirious, and he's starting to talk nonsense? Well, though he doesn't want to admit it—he can't understand the strange woman in front of him.
Poof, before O'Connor could come to his senses, Evelyn knelt in front of him, with a look of humility: "And I'm going to kiss you, Mr. O'Connor." She said this in the same way, very seriously—it was the same as coming here to explore, or rather, it was also a worthwhile expedition for her.
"Call me Rick. O'Connor said, he also began, from the bottom of his heart to fall in love with her, the honest girl in front of him.
Evelyn, who learned of O'Connor's nickname, was so happy that she couldn't keep her mouth shut. The man in front of him, the little boy who was willing to let go of his guard and show his inner world, in an instant, her heart warmed, and she couldn't help but sigh.
"Rick. ”
She called softly, closed her eyes, and slowly pressed her head on. Then, as O'Connor closed his eyes and leaned down, she threw herself into his arms—well, it seems that her guess was correct, she was delirious.
When he opened his eyes and saw Evelyn fall asleep, O'Connor sighed at the air in front of him and kissed him with a sigh of regret.
"Hahahaha!"
The young man on the side smiled and leaned back.
......
The sun rose in the east, shining the glow of the sky, and the two groups started work again.
Everything that happened last night, tacitly, was not mentioned by anyone, as if they had forgotten, the admonition of the chief knights, just as O'Connor and Evelyn had forgotten, the love words between them.
In the stone room, two timid workers, under the command of the archaeologist, took out a red wooden box engraved with a portrait of a side face and hieroglyphs from the pedestal of the statue with a puzzled face, and carefully placed it on the ground.
After a night of volatilization, the hydrochloric acid in the base mechanism has disappeared, so although the two workers were scared, there was no accident from the time the wooden box was taken out to the time it landed.
Almost everyone present secretly breathed a sigh of relief. What's more, the three cowboys, who don't yet know what fear is, and the archaeologists, like Evelyn, who are also seekers of knowledge and eager for the scriptures, have gathered their eyes eagerly around the wooden box. The four of them didn't know that the wooden box itself represented danger, they couldn't see it, and in the eyes of the young people watching the play, they were already a group of dead people.
"The second seal. The young man muttered to himself.
Archaeologists began to dust the surface of the wooden cabinets, workers began to avoid the distance, and cowboys began to reach for the wooden boxes.
"There's a curse on the chest. "The archaeologists busily pushed the cowboys away.
"Curse a fart. The man in deep clothes looked disdainful.
The blonde man smiled and agreed, "Who cares." ”
"Mr. Henderson, you should care!" the archaeologist looked at the blonde man, his expression serious and unsmiling in the face of the latter's contemptuous smile, "In this kind of place, the curse of ancient times is still very effective. As he spoke, he observed the inscription on the lid of the wooden box.
Facing the old-fashioned archaeologist, the blonde man had to put away his smile, and when he saw the other party's movements, he had already begun to get impatient: "Understood, what is written on it?"
After reading the inscription on the lid of the wooden box, the archaeologists gave the interpretation of the inscription to the crowd: "Whoever opens this box...... He will not escape the curse of death. ”
As soon as the words fell, a strange sound echoed in the stone room, and after a small crackling sound, there was a ho-ho sound that seemed to be a dying struggle. The flames that burned everywhere were unaffected, but the light was flickering and flickering. Everyone began to look panicked and couldn't help but look left and right.
Suddenly, there was a noise of monsters, and the wind was blowing on the spot, bringing a low gasp full of greed and malice. Yesterday, some of the workers whose companions were killed could not stay at all, and rushed out of the stone chamber screaming.
"This is, the seal itself is trying to warn, to scare off trespassers. The young man glanced at the seemingly empty air, and then turned his gaze at the four people who were still guarding the edge of the wooden box, "It can only disturb the sound, light and shadow, bluff, but it can't be countered, and it is bound to be won." The seal that only has an internal and not an external one, coupled with hydrochloric acid, this seems to be a defense-proof mechanism, but it is actually tempting. After this level, even if you see the warning above, it is estimated that no one will really take it to heart. The so-called warning is only done in name to get rid of responsibility. This is the preset procedure for unsealing and unsealing...... Nine Pillars God, what a big game of chess you played!"
"We shouldn't have come. "Benny, who is timid by nature, looks around and behaves no better than the workers who have fled," the situation is not good. He wanted to slip away again.
The other four ignored him, still huddled around the wooden box. No matter how terrible the scene is, it can't stop the greed of people's hearts. The movement disappeared, and in the blink of an eye, they forgot everything that had just happened, and only this wooden box was left in front of them.
It also reads......" The archaeologist, who had just stood up in shock, squatted in front of the wooden box again and continued to observe, "The resentful spirits that were originally sealed by the Holy Law will break the curse and return to the world." ”
"Then we're sure we don't want to save anything. The man in deep clothes said casually, he still didn't understand a truth - some things are easy to say.
The archaeologist continued: "He will kill all those who open the box, take their internal organs and blood, and resurrect them by this method." From a cursed resentful spirit, he has turned into a demon that plagues the world. ”
After speaking, his eyes were stunned. At this point, he began to be a little undecided.
"We've come all the way and we've finally paid off. ”
"That's right. ”
The cowboys didn't answer the words of the archaeologists at all, and apparently, what the latter said, they all took the ancients to talk nonsense, and they didn't hear it at all.
"It's a curse...... Benny has retreated to the door of the stone chamber, "It's a curse...... It's a curse! Be careful, curse, be careful!" In the end, the man had run away, leaving only a voice and four pairs of dull eyes.
There were four people left, and the archaeologist came back to his senses and subconsciously stood up, and he also wanted to run a little. But the impatient cowboys never gave him that chance again.
"Superstitious dead idiots!"
In the contemptuous abuse of the man in deep clothes, the man with glasses and the blonde man worked together to remove the lid, and in an instant, a large mist erupted from the wooden box, and the four of them were busy avoiding it.
At this time, the young man, who was already in the space below the stone chamber, saw the evil spirit rushing out of the sarcophagus with a happy face, saw it fly into the stone chamber, and saw it greedily looking at the four people in the stone chamber, he chuckled.
"I'm not going to participate in your 'open the lid and get a prize' event...... Hmm, it seems that the seal I put on myself is working...... It can't see me, but it can see, though it's only limited...... Interesting, interesting. ”
Thinking of this, he decided to put these things aside for a while, that is what he will face later, now, let's watch the show first.
Here, Jonathan and O'Connor had already erected the sarcophagus that had fallen earlier.
Seeing Jonathan take out the treasure box, the young man nodded: "The third way." ”
