The Shopkeeper of All Worlds in the British Wizarding World

Chapter 512: Action (Please subscribe, please bookmark, please vote)
The preparations Ryan told Evelyn were not particularly complicated, and by that evening they had moved all the things they needed to the ground, including the box containing Imhotun's internal organs that they had first dug out, the box containing the Sun Golden Sutra found at the foot of the Sun God statue, and finally the sarcophagus containing Imhotun's mummy that they found at the foot of the Death God statue.

"What is this?" Evelyn asked as she looked at the half bottle of bright red liquid that Ryan handed over, because just now she saw Ryan and Hermione fill a silver cup with half of the liquid in the bottle, and then each drank it in one gulp.

"Stimulants." Ryan explained, "We need to complete some work overnight. If everything goes well, we will be able to solve the possible curse problem at 12 noon tomorrow."

For the next whole night, Ryan and his team built a three-story circular altar that was more than two people tall. Then they placed the stone coffin, which was almost solidified by the black smoke in Ryan's eyes, on the altar, and then opened the space door and took out sacks of sunlight crystals to start inlaying them on the altar. In order to avoid the reaction of the devil, this process must be done by hand, so except for Jill, who might induce the guy in the coffin to come back to life after coming out, the five people worked all night and half a morning to complete the inlaying of the entire altar.

"That's not a gem. You don't need to put it in your pocket." When they finished work and had dinner, Ryan said helplessly after seeing Jonathan's trouser pocket light up like a camera flash the moment he sat down, "If you really like it, I can give you a bag of sunshine crystals, but please don't skimp on this, it will affect the lives of all of us in a moment."

After inspecting the altar, Ryan ordered the robot to dig eight large pits around the altar in the east-west, south-north directions, and then filled them with 30 cubic meters of sunlight crystals.

"Okay, now comes the last step. We need to open this coffin and expose the mummy inside, which is the source of the curse, to the natural environment." Ryan said to everyone as he watched the sun in the sky almost reach its highest point.

In his previous life, Ryan saw many time travelers in the novel who came to this world, but they all resurrected Imhotep. After that, they fought with Imhotep in various ways, and finally had to pay a huge price to kill Imhotep. In the process, Imhotep also caused ten disasters that killed a lot of innocent people.

Ryan couldn't understand how these colleagues could resurrect this guy even though they knew the plot. You know, although his love story is sympathetic. But after 3000 years of torture, Imhotep has completely turned into an extremely evil ghost. From the story, we can see that he basically doesn't treat people as human beings, and slaughters innocent people at will. Facing such a guy, Ryan thinks that completely destroying him is the best option.

So this time, when Ryan found himself in this world, he chose a once-and-for-all solution. He had always carried the key in his space bag. I don't know if it was because of the will of other worlds and planes that he did not encounter the situation that other colleagues encountered, where Evelyn was able to get the key and recite the resurrection spell under the influence of the universe consciousness. Naturally, Imhotep is still quietly staying in his coffin and has not come out.

After Ryan's greeting, five people walked up the steps on the altar. Ryan took out the key from the space bag, opened it and took a look. Then, he inserted it into the hexagonal groove on the coffin and twisted it. A small clicking sound came from the coffin, which meant that the mechanism inside was opened.

"Let's see what the source of this curse is." Ryan said as he and Hermione cast the Bubble Head Charm on everyone, and then the four of them worked together to lift the coffin lid.

"This is impossible." Evelyn exclaimed after seeing the coffin. Because although the mummy lying in the coffin had a big hole on its head and its mouth was wide open, it was not as dry as it should be. Instead, the skin and muscles were only slightly decayed, and most of the other parts were intact.

"No." Even though Hermione didn't know much about archaeology, after following Ryan in so many worlds and seeing so many deaths, she found that the corpse in front of her looked more like someone who had died within a month, rather than someone who had been dead for three thousand years.

At this time, Jonathan poked his head over to try to find possible gold, silver and jewelry burial objects in the coffin, but was disappointed to find that there was nothing here. However, after a careful search, he found that there were many long marks deep in the wooden board on the inside of the coffin lid. "What is this?"

"Human fingerprints." Ryan gestured on the coffin lid and said, "Considering that there is no linen wrapped around the mummy and there is a bit of rotten linen ashes in the corner of the coffin, we can infer that the mummy was put into the coffin alive. That's why the linen fell off during the struggle." As soon as he finished speaking, everyone on the altar gasped. Even though Ryan and Hermione had blood on their hands, as Ryan felt, killing people is not enough, and this kind of torture is really too much.

"And that's not all." Ryan said as he took out several black insect skeletons from the ashes at the bottom of the coffin. "These are some kind of carnivorous beetles. Not only did they lock this person alive in the coffin, they also poured carnivorous beetles into it."

"The punishment of insect bite." Evelyn recognized what this was as soon as she saw it. "This is the most vicious and irreparable curse in ancient Egypt. According to records, they have never used this punishment because according to legend, those who accept this punishment will be resurrected in the future and bring great disaster to the whole of Egypt."

At this point, Evelyn turned around with an unpleasant look and looked at Ryan and Hermione and asked, "So, he is the source of the curse you are talking about. If he is a person who has been punished by the insect bite, he is indeed qualified to be called a great evil."

"Death is just the beginning." Hermione also recognized the meaning of the ancient Egyptian characters carved by Immorton on the coffin lid. She looked at Ryan and said, "Could he come back from death like us?"

"Also?" Jonathan, who was standing idly by the side, heard the word Hermione said, and then looked at Ryan and Hermione in shock, but Ryan ignored his gaze and said to Evelyn: "Okay, next we have to hold a magic ceremony to completely eliminate the evil. You and your brother are just ordinary people, I suggest you retreat outside the ruins."

"Okay." Evelyn nodded, turned around and left with her brother, while Rose Crystal followed them to protect them. But the two did not go far, but walked out of the outermost wall for a distance, then stood behind a pile of sand and looked at the direction of the altar with a telescope.

Ryan discovered this, but he didn't say anything. Instead, he and Hermione went under the altar to open the two boxes containing scriptures, and then moved the holy urns containing Ansuna's internal organs to the side of the mummy on the altar.

"Do you feel it?" Ryan asked Hermione after placing the two scriptures on both sides of the altar.

"I felt it." Hermione nodded. "We were marked by a trace of death when we opened the box just now, but with our strength, we can easily erase it."

"No need to wipe it off." Ryan said, "Now try to use the power of death to attract all the things with the breath of death in this ruins. I can clean them up together later."

Hermione nodded, then made a gesture with her hands, and soon a faint black mist flowed out from her fingertips, flowing along the ground towards the ruins. Soon after, a rustling sound came from underground.
