Holding the scriptures back to her campsite, seeing O'Connor sleeping peacefully beside her, Evelyn calmed down, gently put down the scriptures, and groped for the treasure box in the clothes of Jonathan, who was asleep on the other side.

"You know, it's called stealing. O'Connor said, opening his eyes slightly and looking at Evelyn's back.

He was a former military officer, and he was in such a dangerous place, how could he relax his vigilance and really sleep to death. Although he was lying on the ground at this time, his clothes, pants, boots and all kinds of combat equipment had not been taken off, and in order to avoid encountering emergencies and adding obstacles to his contingencies, he did not cover his body with a blanket, but only put a blanket under his body, which was almost an open-air slot.

Moreover, the knight leader who left them for a day, judging by his attitude at that time, was not as simple as just saying a cruel word. O'Connor could see that the other party was also a man of his word, and it was already late at night, and the black knights could appear at any time. In order to be able to deal with it at any time, before he closed his eyes tonight, he already held *** in his hand, and even one finger was already on the trigger.

"According to you and my brother, it's called borrowing. ”

Her behavior can indeed be called stealing, and she herself thinks so. So, she didn't directly refute O'Connor. However, she will not admit it.

When she learned that the treasure box that Jonathan gave her was not bought as he said at the beginning, but stolen it, even though she knew that the map in the treasure box that led her to the Tower of Hamna could lead her to the coveted Golden Sutra of the Sun, she was not very happy, but began to get angry with Jonathan. She had a strong resentment and resentment for such a depravity as stealing. Therefore, she never had the idea of taking the Black Sutra of the Undead as her own, unless the other party was willing to give up.

However, the Black Sutra of the Undead, which is as famous as the Golden Sutra of the Sun, is also very attractive to Evelyn, and she has not been able to see it, which is really itchy. If she could consult with the archaeologist and borrow the scriptures for reading, then she would not have to go against her original position. The problem is that the archaeologist who has obtained the Black Book of the Dead is a miser, and no one is allowed to look at it. Then she can only "borrow" it first, and when she enjoys it, it is not too late to return it. Therefore, she would not admit the word "steal" under any circumstances.

In addition, in fact, she also brought a little caution, if there is a way to get the other party to give way when she turns back, then she will take the scriptures in her hand first, and the so-called "borrowing" will not be considered self-talking.

At the end of the day, she said this not so much to convince O'Connor as to convince herself.

Self-deception is a common trick of human nature, and when sensibility and reason conflict, Evelyn, as a woman, chooses sensuality and chooses to satisfy her desires. It's not right or wrong, but it goes against her rational ethics. Therefore, with this kind of wrong behavior in her opinion, the countless reflections generated will only stay in her consciousness for a moment, and then sink into the subconscious, and after a seemingly short but long gestation, it finally becomes a blurted out of the mouth - this is called borrowing.

People do not have the courage to face reality soberly at all times, otherwise, they will not be able to live. At the root of this, people are fragile. At this moment, human nature acts as a security officer who builds a firewall between the framework of reality and the desire of the heart to prevent conflicts.

People live and sometimes need to be honest with themselves, but, deception, is indispensable. Sometimes facing and sometimes avoiding, this is a complex but fertile soil for a personality to grow healthily and survive. None of this is right or wrong.

Standing up and coming to Evelyn's side, O'Connor looked at the black scripture in front of him: "I thought the Golden Book of the Sun was golden. He didn't dwell on the topic he had just talked about, but talked about it casually.

Obviously, O'Connor knew Evelyn's inner thoughts and did not choose to break it. After experiencing the heavy world, you will either cling to these, be a rotten old man in your state of mind, complain about the difference of fate, lament the injustice of reality, but be willing to indulge in these, or throw away the necessary or unnecessary shackles, and become a selfish or free and easy person.

In the end, he chose to become a free and easy person, and he ignored all the rules and regulations imposed on him by the hypocritical ethics and society. Such people, on the contrary, attach more importance to principles. Just because, having seen so much darkness, the only thing that can hold people like them in this turbid world to stay awake and not completely sink is this bottom line.

So, on the other hand, Benny, who has already thrown away a necessary and unnecessary shackle, that is, abandoning all rules and regulations at the same time, abandoning all principles, and finally becoming selfish and selfish, will only say the sentence "You have always been emotional" when he learned that O'Connor's trip was to repay Evelyn for saving her life.

Therefore, Evelyn's behavior, in his opinion, is really harmless. The words that reminded her just now that "this is called stealing" seemed to him to be just an innocuous joke.

Therefore, young people who have also experienced the world will be willing to stay here and enjoy such a human comedy before doing the right thing - his movie-watching experience is never superficial. For him, the human heart is also a part of the stage, and it is a very important part.

His heart is becoming more and more rigid, and he sees the common people like ants, which is to use this to mourn the past that has passed, the ordinary youth he once was, and the self before he started the journey of the heavens.

"The Golden Sutra of the Sun is indeed golden. Evelyn said.

The human comedy, full of black humor, continues.

"This is not the Golden Sutra of the Sun. As she spoke, she returned to the scripture book, fiddling with the treasure box in her hand, "This is another one, I think it should be the Black Book of the Dead." ”

As he spoke, the treasure box was touched and turned into the "sun" again, which also corresponded to the shape of the pit on the cover of the scriptures.

"The Necromancer?" O'Connor raised his eyebrows, "And you're still playing with this book?"

"Just a book. Now Evelyn, who doesn't know the powerful power contained in this, embeds the treasure box in the pit and turns the lock as she speaks, "And it won't hurt to read." She didn't know that at this time, she just said the opposite.

As soon as the cover opened, the wind was blowing in place, and its voice was treacherous, like a wail, as if there were endless souls of injustice, circling and echoing around. The young man on the side could see that this was a sign of inadvertent spiritual power leakage after the restart of the Undead Black Sutra after many years.

The light of the fire was extinguished, and it returned to normal in an instant. At this time, Evelyn, who didn't care about this, had already moved her gaze to the Black Sutra of the Undead spread out in front of her.

"This happens all the time. O'Connor, who had already had a similar experience, only glanced up vigilantly, and then followed Evelyn, and also aimed his gaze at the Black Book of the Undead, "What is written on it?"

"The sun, which is too yin, means day and night. ”

After reading a little, she piggyback on a brief explanation to O'Connor and continued. In her previous life, she was the daughter of the ancient Egyptian pharaoh Seti I, and at this time, her soul was still a princess, and she uttered syllables of unknown meaning from her mouth, easily rippling the mercury-like spiritual power in the Black Sutra of the Undead, causing it to reverberate in the air. In the next second, those spiritual powers infected by evil spirits seemed to be inspired, and in turn they enveloped it and rushed towards the terrifying corpse in the sarcophagus.

Suffering from being sealed, trapped in Hamnata and unable to interfere with the material world, the evil spirit, which had nowhere to relieve its resentment and could only let out a silent roar in vain, finally threw itself into the broken skeleton as it wished, let out its first roar since its rebirth, and frantically vented its inner hatred.

At this time, as if touched by intuition, the archaeologist suddenly woke up, and saw the Black Sutra of the Undead spread out in front of Evelyn, and his expression changed.

"No!" he hissed, standing up in a hurry, "you can't pronounce it!"

Everyone woke up, and then, they froze.

A line of darkness on the horizon began to expand into the sky, bringing with it the sound of rustling, and the black pressure rushed to the front of everyone—it was a mighty army of locusts.

"Run!"

The voice sounded, and everyone had already turned around and walked away.

"Hurry, move fast!"

In the midst of the shouting, the archaeologist turned against the direction of the insect swarm, closed the black meridian of the undead, and hugged him back into his arms. At this time, his body was already covered with locusts. Looking at the burial urn, the scriptures and the locusts in his arms, he realized that the calamity had already begun.

"What did we do?"

For the sake of a little treasure, such a big disaster was caused. He looked into the distance, as if he saw the earth that was about to be destroyed, and his eyes were lifeless.

Locusts are not scarabs, do not eat people, and are generally harmless to their group of outsiders. The real danger of this swarm is that it eats away at the vegetation in the places it passes. The real victims are the natives of Egypt. This is also the fundamental reason why archaeologists who know what the ten plagues of Egypt are, because of their greed for treasure, dare to face the terrifying insect swarm.

However, the others did not know this, and even Evelyn, who was so frightened that she was left behind, hid in the tomb.

"Where do the locusts come from?"

Inside the cemetery, they are still on the run.

"If you want to know, check it yourself!"

Everyone panicked and only cared about running for their lives.

At this moment, in the crowd, the man with glasses was unsteady under his feet and fell to the ground. The glasses that were originally on the bridge of the nose have also fallen to the ground at this time.

"My glasses, my glasses. ”

Lying on the ground and squinting, under the blank groping, he inadvertently made a movement, but pushed his glasses farther.

"Go away, go away. ”

Benny, who had fallen behind the crowd, waved his coat and tried to chase away the locusts above. After two clicks, seeing that the people in front of him had run out, he simply didn't even want his clothes, and ran straight to the front.

"Hey, hey!" Hearing Benny's voice, the man with glasses beckoned behind him, "Please help me find my ......"

Halfway through speaking, he heard the sound of glass breaking in front of him, and followed the sound to see something that looked like glasses not far away, as if he realized something, and he couldn't speak.

Benny, who had just stepped on the glasses man's glasses, picked up the torch that the person in front of him had dropped on the ground, only glanced back at the glasses man, and then ignored him, shouting "wait for me" while running away.

"The first. ”

The man with glasses, who fumbled to pick up his glasses, stood up carefully. He took a closer look at his glasses, and they were broken, and there was no choice but to grope their way forward. Beside him, the young man turned his gaze, his gaze pierced through the countless stone walls, saw the corpse, saw that it was on its way.

The young man left here.
