[Mummy] Eternal Life Spell

Chapter 29 Chapter 04

Hearing the sound of the opening of the sarcophagus, a look of joy flashed across Evelyn's face. She stared fixedly at the sarcophagus, fearing that she might miss something. She waited for O'Connor and Jonathan to remove the upper sarcophagus lid, and then stuck her head in. look in...

"Eh?! Empty?" Evelyn looked at the empty sarcophagus and cried out in surprise and confusion, "Impossible, they couldn't have put an empty sarcophagus at Anubis' feet..."

"Maybe everything inside has rotted away." Jonathan curled his lips indifferently. For him, only gold, silver and jewelry can make him raise his eyes.

This sentence made O'Connor laugh straight away. Even a person like him who has no interest in archaeology knows that it is difficult to completely disappear a corpse by the decay of time alone. "Jonathan, how many times have I told you..." Evelyn said helplessly in an embarrassing tone while holding her forehead. By the way, she glanced at the unpredictable gentleman—it's over, embarrassing in front of experts, How can I meet people now...

"Okay, okay, I know what you're going to say." Jonathan waved his hand, as if he didn't want to listen to Evelyn's lesson, and changed the subject, "What, Professor Fisher, you are a historical archaeologist. Experts in learning, has something like this happened before?" He asked, probably thinking that what the husband said was more reliable.

The gentleman looked at the empty sarcophagus, and didn't know what he was thinking. There was no wave on his face, and even his eyes were still so clear and calm, as calm as a pool of stagnant water.He thought for a moment, then pondered: "Impossible. In ancient Egypt, every sarcophagus represented a container for a person's soul. This was very important to them. Without people, there would be no sarcophagus, and there would never be an empty coffin." Phenomenon."

"Then..." Jonathan suddenly felt a gust of wind blowing behind him after hearing what the husband said, and the cold feeling made his voice change a bit, "Then that... the things inside, I am Where did the mummy go? Was it stolen by someone else?"

"Will you steal the mummy?" O'Connor asked back, Jonathan's assumption was too unreliable.Because if someone really walks into this tomb that no one has approached for thousands of years, shouldn't those treasures be more valuable than a dry person?

Jonathan, who wanted to comfort himself, was at a loss for words. Indeed, no one would steal a mummy. Even he himself despises this thing. "Moreover, you need a key to open this sarcophagus. Without a key, unless you have powerful magic power, you will never be able to escape." The gentleman added lightly, bent down slightly, and took out something from the sarcophagus. "Fossil of a scarab."

Seeing this thing, Evelyn's eyes lit up immediately, but she was too embarrassed to snatch it from the husband's hand, and just glanced at him with a little reservation.

"Scarab?" Jonathan and O'Connor showed puzzled expressions.

"A kind of carnivorous insect," Mr. explained, a flash of complexity suddenly flashed in his clear eyes, but he quickly returned to calm. "In ancient Egypt, there was one of the most vicious criminal laws, insect bite. It is to kill the living directly. Put a bandage on it, put it in the sarcophagus, pour it into the scarab, and finally close the sarcophagus. The person inside will have to endure the pain of being bitten to death by the worms one by one before he can die, but his soul will be imprisoned in this sarcophagus."

Hearing Mr. say these words in such an understatement, Jonathan not only didn't feel at ease, but got goosebumps all over his body: "Hiss...It hurts to think about it..."

"Fortunately, whether pain or not is related to a person's willpower." The gentleman said relaxedly, with a relieved smile on his face, as if intending to reassure Jonathan, but no matter how he looked at it, Jonathan felt that the smile was gloomy awful.

I heard that those academic experts are all lunatics, and they can ignore everything for scientific research. His sister is a typical nerd, and the more authoritative, the more incurable.What the hell, Professor Fisher, wouldn't try to find a few of these disgusting bugs' bite force, that's why he said it didn't hurt...

Jonathan thought about it uncontrollably, and shivered, he quickly changed the topic that was already a bit wrong: "So, you mean that the mummy inside has been eaten up by these bugs? "

"No, scarabs are carnivorous animals, they don't eat bones. People who are tortured by insects should appear more damaged than other mummies." Mr. shook his head, the smile on his mouth remained unchanged, "Maybe This guy got some kind of dark power because of the curse of insect bite, and escaped from the sarcophagus."

"...Brother, don't be an ass, can I become a donkey? It's the 20th century now, where are the ghosts and ghosts... Hehehe..." Jonathan smiled dryly, leaning closer to O'Connor, as if thinking that as long as some ghost suddenly jumps up Come out, he can use O'Connor as a shield on top.

"Well, I'm joking." The gentleman shrugged his shoulders with an innocent tone, "This is also the first time I have encountered this situation."

…Brother, don’t you think it’s not a joke to make such a joke in such a windy tomb?Your smile is a bit strange, do you need to go to cure and take some medicine?Jonathan was complaining inwardly, but he was still smiling on the surface, afraid that if he said something wrong, this sinister black-bellied person would start to trick him again.

"Let's open the other sarcophagus to take a look." O'Connor paused for a few seconds, pretending that nothing happened just now, changed the subject abruptly, took the key from Evelyn's hand, and quickly Another sarcophagus was opened.

In this sarcophagus, a mummy finally appeared. If this sarcophagus is still empty, it will definitely scare people to death.

"Uh... this mummy... seems a bit special..." Evelyn looked at the hideous mummy, couldn't help but reached out and touched his arm, then quickly retracted, expelling the unknown mucus from her hand It rubbed against O'Connor beside him, "It looks like it's still rotting?"

"Hey...Miss, can you still pretend that nothing happened? No matter how much you pretend, I can still feel your little movements just now." O'Connor mercilessly exposed Evelyn's fake research. To hide the fact that she was petty.

Evelyn paused and turned her head, pretending she didn't hear. "Professor, do you know what's going on here?" Evelyn asked, but found that the husband was staring at the mummy in a daze, not knowing what he was thinking of, the gentle and refined expression on his face finally disappeared, replaced by It is solemn and complicated, and the deep eyes make it impossible to guess what he is thinking, or what his mood is now.

"Professor Fisher?" Evelyn called again with some worry and doubt.

"Huh?" Mr. finally came back to his senses, he moved his eyes away from the horrific looking mummy, and his eyes regained the clarity they had before.He looked at Evelyn, the gentle and gentle gentleman down to the bone made Evelyn swallow the words again.

"No...it's nothing..." Evelyn stammered, tears streaming down her face, the professor's lethality is too great to resist!The professor is cheating in order to avoid the question, do you know that! "It's getting late now, let's go up to rest first, and then come tomorrow, what do you think?"

"Well, Mr. O'Connor, who has been working hard, must be tired. I can't help you with much work. I really trouble you." The gentleman smiled very gently and politely, and he nodded to him. I'm not used to it. Sure enough, the British guys like it for a long time. Even the British who are not purebreds are infected by their whining personality.

Although Mr. Wang was so calm on the surface, in his heart, at the moment Imerton's sarcophagus was opened, there was still a little turmoil.You know, when he saw his sarcophagus, at most he was a little emotional, but when he saw Imerton and the words he had carved on the sarcophagus with his fingernails, his heart welled up, not only Just sighed.

Those emotions are familiar and strange, he has not felt them for a long time, he vaguely remembers, and only when he has not been cursed with eternal life, will he have these strange emotions...

Death is just the beginning.

This is what he carved on the sarcophagus. Mr. remembers that when the two sarcophagi were put together at the beginning, except for the small groans/groans after they couldn't help it, Imerton never broke his heart even once. shout out.In the end, he said these words to him in a weak but very firm voice, and...

"I don't know . . . whether your soul has left*, but, Fisherlila, I will save you, I will, and I will be with you . . . with you . . . "

It wasn't until his voice disappeared completely that the gentleman who had been holding on without saying a word could helplessly raise the corners of his mouth, although at that time he had no corners of his mouth to speak of.He finally closed his eyes, quietly accompanied him through the long death process, and then watched him die, just like countless times before.

After all, he was sorry for him and owed him.

Sir sat by the fire and sighed.He has been wandering in this world where he will never look back for so many years. Imerton is an extremely special existence, because he has never accepted an apprentice before this, and after Imerton, he never thought of it again.Perhaps, this is the so-called fate problem.

Hmm... It is said that the "Black Book of the Dead" has the power to bring the dead back to life... A crazy thought flashed through Mr. Imerton's mind—since it is mostly his fault that Immorton is in such a bad state, then he will help him Resurrect, after resurrection, it will be clear.This is the thought that suddenly flashed into Mr.'s mind when he saw Immorton in the mummy state.

Soon, this idea was confirmed by him.

However, according to the curse, Imerton will kill many people after he passes by, so the person who reads the scriptures must not be himself. If he reads the scriptures, then the people killed by Imerton His lifespan will also be remembered on his head.

Inducing others to read scriptures is not a difficult task for Mr.The gentleman chuckled, and looked at Evelyn from the corner of his eye.It seemed like a good idea for this simple woman to read it.

"I'm sorry." The gentleman walked up to Evelyn and apologized very sincerely.

"...Why?" Evelyn was taken aback by Mr.

"Because you wanted to continue exploring the tomb just now, didn't you? But because I'm not in good condition, you can only suggest to come back first. So, I think I owe you an apology." Mr. Her amber eyes looked at Evelyn quietly, "Can you forgive me?"

"Of course!" Evelyn blurted out without thinking, "Professor, you are too polite, the tomb is very big, and I don't care about a day or two."

"En." The gentleman nodded with a smile, but he couldn't hide the worry between his brows.

Evelyn opened her mouth, and finally asked the question: "Professor... I can know... what are you worrying about?"

The gentleman looked at Evelyn and smiled in relief. "It's nothing... I just heard that... Hamnata also buried a scripture, and that scripture has great power..." He said softly, from his tone, it can be seen that the husband still has something to hide, "Then, I just saw it in the hands of an American... Oh, forget it, it's a matter of fate, it's my bad luck... Anyway, Evelyn, you'd better not touch that book." He said, The gentleman turned and left again.

People are like this, as long as you don't let him do something, he can't help but do it.The same is true for Evelyn. Her curiosity was aroused by her husband, so she quietly "borrowed" the scripture book. By the way, she also did something that most people would do when faced with unfamiliar words—read it word by word. Read it out.
