Red Moon Returns

This is a room made of black rocks, and the rooms are densely arranged like a grid.

The room is not empty. It is filled with funerary objects, stone chariots, stone human beasts, which are placed in the room eerily. I don’t know how many thousands of years have passed.

The walls are engraved with ancient murals. The black and red colors are very much like coagulated and dried blood, which is particularly weird in the diffuse mist.

The murals describe a group of humanoid creatures who are worshiping a group of weird images.

It is an egg-shaped body with countless spikes on the surface. There are countless large and small eyeballs scattered between the thorns. The overall image is extremely abstract. If Lynch hadn’t seen the Graki in the lake, it would be difficult for him to understand what the thing is painted.

There are kneeling, offering, and being pierced by spikes. The weird murals cover the walls of the room, making the atmosphere in the tomb even more gloomy.

Because the cost was too high, no, in order to avoid exposing his identity, Lynch did not take out the Torch of Light, but held a lantern and shuttled between the dense stone statues. The swaying light and shadow made the stone statues seem alive, looming around the three ladies. Every time he looked back, he could see a group of black shadows or stone statues flashing past behind him. Every time he experienced it, Lynch's blood vessels contracted, and he felt it was more exciting than any horror movie.

"This is the entrance and exit of the tomb to the outside world, equivalent to the gate of the castle. These stone sculptures are the warriors guarding the castle. There should be a similar structure on the cliff, and behind them..."

As she said, Dr. Jenna raised the lantern, and through the mist, a huge stone door stretched in front of her.

The stone door was flat and heavy, as smooth as a mirror, six or seven meters high, running through the entire corridor from top to bottom. The huge body looked down from above, and it looked like a mountain was about to press down, which made Lynch, who was under the door, feel an indelible sense of insignificance.

The stone gate was also covered with murals. In the murals, a group of people were kneeling on the ground, worshipping two huge human figures. They were two strange human figures, almost covering the entire stone gate. The human figures were fat and bloated, with thick hands and feet but no heads. On their open hands, there were two big mouths full of teeth in the palms.

The two human figures stood on the left and right of the gate, protecting the door like two guards.

"The Gate of Sighs, behind is the inner tomb."

Dr. Jenna stood in front of the door, and the two huge human-shaped murals on the left and right looked down at her, with their fangs and claws bared as if they were about to reach out and grab her in. But the doctor didn't care, and casually knocked on the stone door with his hiking stick:

"If my guess is correct, there should be another door on the opposite side. If both sides are opened at the same time, you can enter safely. But if only one door is opened, hehe..."

Lin Qi frowned: "This is a tomb, and it has always been afraid of being opened by others. Why do you have to set up a way to open it? It seems that you are worried that people outside can't get in?"

Dr. Jenna glanced at him strangely, which made Lin Qi's heart sink. Oh no, it's not a big deal. I shouldn't be so talkative. I asked subconsciously.

Fortunately, the doctor did not think too much and explained patiently:

"The Ark Dynasty flourished in the Third Age, and Graki was worshipped. In their mythology, after death, people will be judged by Graki, and once they pass the judgment, they can be reborn. Of course, in reality, they are just transformed into servants by Graki, and they can only be transformed when they are alive, and it is impossible to resurrect people, but the Ark people at that time believed in this legend, so they built a huge mausoleum for the ruler, hoping that the king could pass the trial, open the mausoleum and come back again."

Is that so? I don't know these because the secondary education only teaches up to the Fourth Age. That's right, it was not taught in class.

"How to open it?"

If you don't ask, you don't know. If you ask, you still don't know. The opening method of each door is different. No one can know it in advance before seeing the real thing.

"Judy, wake up, get ready to work."

The doctor wandered in front of the door for a few circles, and then showed a look of realization. At her call, Judy, who looked confused, suddenly focused her eyes and shook her head while pressing her forehead.

No wonder Jack said before that this girl could stay normal when doing serious work. At this time, she just looked around and understood everything. She looked up at the strange human figure on the mural and frowned.

"How come there is even this kind of thing."

"Glaji has appeared, so it's not strange that this thing appears together."

Judy glanced at the doctor in confusion: "I always feel that your reaction is like knowing something."

Dr. Jenna just smiled noncommittally: "Prepare to open the door, is it okay?"

"Yeah."

Judy didn't go into it, deliberately didn't have any communication with Lynch, and raised her hand to press on a hand raised in worship on the mural on the left door.

Ouch, what are you doing.

Lynch was startled. Can such a weird thing be touched directly? But looking at Dr. Jenna's reaction, it seems that this is a basic operation. Because she also pressed it, and pressed the door on the right.

As the hands of the two ladies were pressed against the stone door, a faint smell of blood floated from the direction of the two.

No, it should be said that it floated from the direction of the stone door.

A strange smell mixed with the smell of blood began to spread around, and the fog became thicker and thicker. The surging fog was like countless twisted and wriggling shadows, emerging from the strange murals.

"These things would be much easier if we drove the workers to do them." Jenna sighed and said, "Ms. Selene, I need your help below."

"Hmm?"

"Please focus on the murals. Soon you will see and hear something, which is the information of opening the door. Remember what you hear and then relay it to us. Don't worry, you don't need to remember those information intentionally. They will automatically stay in your consciousness for a period of time."

Interesting. According to her, ordinary people can do it, and the danger is not too high. Moreover, if there is a trap, Judy should have a hint, not to mention that the neighbors did not remind her.

It seems feasible.

Nodding with a smile, Lynch focused his attention on the murals. This is not the usual way to manipulate inspiration, but just a simple mental concentration.

The fog is still so thick. Through the rolling fog, the murals on the door seem to be changing little by little, becoming more and more real.

"Roar~~"

A thunderous cheer suddenly came from his ears, and Lynch suddenly realized that he had been in a tribe by the lake without knowing when.

Unlike the low mud houses in the memories of the ancient flickers, and unlike the stone buildings in Zul'grassar, the small wooden houses in clusters by the lake look exquisite and beautiful.

There were countless people around the lake. Several people dressed in gorgeous clothes and covered in jewels were singing and dancing by the lake. As they sang and danced, a huge shadow gradually emerged from the bottom of the lake. The crowd immediately knelt down and worshiped the shadow in the lake. Only a few people surrounded in the middle continued to sing and dance, with joy on their faces. They watched the monster move to the lakeside little by little, and then several spikes popped out and accurately pierced the chest of the people dressed in gorgeous clothes.

"Oh oh oh~~~"

Cheers immediately resounded around the lakeside, and then everyone sang the same tune in unison.

"na~ka~ta~ka~la~..."

"na~ka~ta~ka~la~..."

A huge whirlpool appeared in the center of the lake as they sang in unison. Several people dressed in gorgeous clothes immediately walked into the lake with a dull look and sank into the whirlpool.

"na~ka~ta~ka~la~..."

The chanting became louder, and the monster in the center of the lake shook its body covered with eyes and spikes, and slowly returned to the center of the lake. However, just when it was about to sink to the bottom of the lake, it seemed to have discovered something, and all its eyes turned at the same time, pointing in the direction of Lynch, and Lynch's eyes met for many times.

However, just before the eyes met, Lynch was refreshed and suddenly woke up, realizing that he was still standing in front of the stone door, and he was unconsciously chanting the tune he had just heard.

"Success." Dr. Jenna smiled expectantly, "Judy, see your listening translation."

"Hush."

Judy calmly retracted her pale hands, frowned and pondered, and wrote on the notebook. Soon, a piece of paper with several rows of strange characters was stuffed into Dr. Jenna's hands.

"Yes, these are them."

With a smile on her face, Dr. Jenna pressed her fingers on the stone door on the right and quickly copied the first symbol. As the symbol was completed, the strange humanoid body in the mural on the right suddenly lit up.

The doctor pressed the stone door and did not move. He just stared at the other side expectantly for a long time. After five or six minutes, the mural on the left stone door began to glow.

"It's done. They've started too." The doctor sighed and moved his fingers quickly, copying all the twisted symbols on the note onto the stone door. The murals on both sides became brighter and brighter, almost illuminating the entire door.

Even an amateur like Lynch could see that this was reading information from both sides and opening the door at the same time. If successful, the door could be opened, but what if it failed? Would the door be locked?

"No, it will open, but it will lead to death. Failed opening will be attacked from the inside, which is very dangerous." Dr. Jenna explained, "But we succeeded this time."

So that's it, interesting.

The corners of her mouth curled up behind the fan. That is to say, it takes six people to open the door normally, so Howard and the others specially found six people.

Lynch knew that his appearance was an accident, and just after he appeared, Salin died from the beginning, and the number of people returned to six. There is no coincidence in the mysterious world. This must be someone's intention.

But what is the purpose?

Did the first person who tried to kill Salin know the whole story, or did he simply want to destroy the ceremony? If it was the former, it would be fine. What if it was the latter? Would he watch the door open smoothly? What if he did something when opening the door? Then...

Lynch analyzed it quickly in his mind, and Dr. Jenna had done everything and was standing in front of the door with full expectation.

As the brightness increased to the maximum, the two doors slowly opened inward as if being pushed by someone.

The inner analysis gave Lynch a bad premonition, especially the scene of people waiting in front of the door for the door to slowly open. Lynch immediately thought of the classic play he had seen before. As the elevator door opened, countless zombie arms stretched out and dragged the characters in front of the elevator door in.

Not good.

With a tight heart, Lynch didn't care to think too much and rushed towards Dr. Jenna in front of the door.

At the same time, the door slowly opened, revealing a dark gap, and a chilling breath of death was rushing out at a high speed.
