Stealing Game

Chapter 103 The Resurrected Container

Everyone was taken aback by this sudden situation, but before they could react, another incident occurred.

Kawaii-san was worried about his cat, and he didn't care whether his sacrifice would be unlucky if he didn't see the gods. He hurriedly chased Tempura into the opening on the wall of the mural.Neither me nor Patrick could stop him.

It's not a problem to let Kawai Yisan run to that inexplicably appearing room alone. Meng Weiqing and Buswell immediately sent people to follow, but they wanted to see what was in that room that could hold the brass earrings. Scared into that grandma's virtue.

Taking advantage of the fact that Alex cared about Li Yuan's hand, I hurried to look at the newly exposed mural, and I was even more frightened when I looked closely.I hurried to stop those people.

"There is a problem with this mural, and no one can pass it now."

Xia Shangzhou and Jiang Can stopped, but the rest obviously didn't take me seriously.At the moment of the weird murals, I don't bother to care about the opinions of others, and patiently explain the contents of the murals to them.

After the original mural peeled off, a god with a chaotic face was revealed.Standing on the open primeval hill, He seemed to be born from the body of a Benu bird.There is also a lunar disc on top of his head.

Around the original hill that became the gate, there are still newborn jackals, crested ibis, crocodiles and snakes painted, but the whole picture does not reveal the slightest vitality.Because these animals are immature but have cunning and strange expressions, like babies showing the expressions of murderers, which makes people's scalp tingle.

Swear words from all over the world came out.

"It's just a mural, should we be scared away?" Stephanie raised her eyebrows. "Even if those beasts escaped from the mural, one bullet is enough."

Alex parted a look from Li Yuan's wound, and glared at her angrily.Jacqueline's life was also taken by a bullet.

"Okay, I won't stop you if you want to go in." I stepped out of the way and gestured to Stephanie. "If some animal becomes a god's resurrection container, it is much more noble than continuing to be an animal."

"What do you mean?"

I was torn back and forth by anger and fear, and the sweat was already cold, sticking wetly to my spine, which calmed me down instead.

"This mural can be understood as a scene of god-making, or it is more appropriate to use 'resurrection of the gods'. The jackal represents Anubis, the patron saint of the dead. He devoured his father Osiris, allowing the god of the underworld to Rebirth. The other three animals have also eaten other gods to help them achieve the purpose of rebirth. So what we are looking at now is actually the regeneration container of gods. Animals are devourers, and their bodies can be reborn as gods container without harming itself."

There was impatience on someone's face.

"We're not here to hear fairy tales," said an Australian accent.

"I'm not here to tell you a bedtime story." I breathed a sigh of relief, keeping my eyes on Stephanie for fear she'd shoot me. "It's okay if it fits the ancient Egyptian mythology. But the Benu bird represents time, how can time serve as a container for resurrection? And there is no god of time in Egypt, they only have the past and the future but not the present. That from the body of the Benu bird The god who was born had a full moon on his head. At first I thought it was just a sign of his god status, but after seeing the strange expressions of those animals, I realized that the full moon might represent Kongsu. "

"What is Kongsu?" someone asked.

"Kongsu is also a god in ancient Egypt. He is painted as a child during the new moon, and as an adult man during the full moon." Li Yuan's wound has been bandaged, and I know the Scars will disappear quickly.He walked over to me, just blocking Stephanie's view. "What you want to talk about is another legend of Kongsu, right?"

I nodded.

The ancient Egyptian myths we know now are the versions that have been circulated and modified for thousands of years. In the ancient kingdom, Kongsu also had the title of "Man-eater".Pyramid texts record that Kongsu used the pharaoh's funeral as bait to devour the gods who came to enjoy the pharaoh's body.The expressions on the faces of the cubs of those animals in the murals can only be described as old and cunning, as if they had lived for a long time but got a new skin.

"Then what does this have to do with us? Could it be that you want to say that we will be treated as containers of gods in the past?"

"Stop talking nonsense here to shake the morale of the army."

"I only have faith in God, the ancient Egyptian myths are all bullshit."

All kinds of doubts came to me.

"I just stated my interpretation, you don't need to believe it." I shrugged, "Why, don't you have this level of freedom of speech? Or is it that your beliefs are so easily shaken?"

In fact, I also feel that this statement is far-fetched. After all, myths and legends have a strong mission of brainwashing the ruling class, and this interpretation is too incredible.But I really don't dare to bet, what if something happens to them if they insist on going over?So we can only use the bluff of ancient Egypt.

But the seriousness on Patrick's face made me wonder if I accidentally told the truth.The Egyptologist who had been silent since Jacqueline's death raised his hand and traced the murals around the cave entrance.

"It's an acacia tree." He turned to me. "Do you know the myth about the primordial hill and the birth of the Nine Pillars?"

I nod.In the creation myth of ancient Egypt, Primordial Hill was conceived by the water god Nun from the water of chaos. It is said that it is the existence of the first ray of sunlight in the world.The Bennu bird perched on it is like an immortal sunshine.And the acacia tree.
"Gods are born from the acacia tree." I opened my eyes wide in shock, and looked at the mural again.The primeval hill became a passage, and this passage opened in the trunk of the acacia tree.

"According to what you say, if we walk over here, can we still transform into gods directly?"

Patrick smiled wryly. "Transforming gods? Dr. Wang just mentioned the method of transforming a mortal body into a god."

Everyone followed his gaze and looked at the exposed mural again.

At the beginning, the Benu bird on the murals existed as a container for the resurrection of the god who had never shown his true face, so what about the twisted and crooked people in the murals?Could it be that they are those hideous and strange animals?
This myth of devouring and regenerating makes people feel a chill down their spine.If this is the case, then it is already very dangerous to put in a kawaii Isan, and if someone else goes in, it may be difficult to recover.

"We don't need to be eaten, do we?" Those people began to discuss, "I didn't come here for this."

"I can replace your sick body with a new one. Go for fun. If you can really be reborn after being eaten by someone or something, I would like to try it." The speaker had a not-so-distinct Russian accent .

A bunch of idiots.Jacqueline cursed in a low voice in French.

Yes, how could it be that we were asked to come here to pick up the ocean?We are afraid it is the [container], or it is involved in the process of rebirth.I laughed at myself, feeling that the dog's life was in jeopardy.

Wait, why do I seem to hear Jacqueline's voice?

Just as I was looking around, I heard footsteps coming from far and near, and there was an unpleasant humming, like a dark nursery rhyme.The people who had been arguing for a second immediately fell silent, and Patrick and I were surrounded by the guarded crowd.

Is it really Jacqueline?Or I couldn't help looking at those weird images on the murals, and my heart was in my throat.

Accompanied by strange syllables, a humanoid thing came out of the acacia tree hole on the mural.
