Stealing Game

Chapter 110 The place where the sea died

Seeing the unknown humanoid creature approaching us from the mural, everyone backed away from the wall immediately.

"What the hell is this?"

Stephanie raised her hand and shot at the mural a few times.

Those lives do not dodge, they float stiffly in the mural.The bullet hit the wall, but its power was removed, and it landed lightly on the ground.

Seeing that the bullets didn't work, Karl and the others shot them with a strong light, only now did they see clearly that the creatures in the murals hadn't moved, it was only because of the poor sightlines and the shock that everyone was confused just now.

Before he could breathe a sigh of relief, the surrounding sea water seemed to come out of the broken wall, the island palace on the ceiling was also crumbling, and even the place under his feet was covered with a layer of moisture.

This is not what the ancient Egyptians could do.There must be some opportunity, only the legendary Atlantis will appear here in ancient Egypt.

"The ore from Atlantis is in your hands!" Li Yuan immediately looked at Boothwell.

Buswell looked right, but he didn't deny it either.

"what have you done?"

Kawaii-san hasn't told us yet what that ore that compresses civilization can do.Taking a step back, even if Atlantis really existed, why did it appear in ancient Egyptian buildings?
While everyone denounced the bearded man whose identity was a mystery and lied, Patrick walked quickly towards the altar along the murals that had been wrapped in the ocean.With the movement of the light source in his hand, the humanoid creatures in the painting seemed to be swimming towards the altar, as if they were showing him the way.

Who knows if those ghosts are friends or foes?But Patrick obviously knew something inside, maybe he and Boothwell were involved in the current situation.You can't continue to let Patrick go.

I stomped and followed.

The images of those humanoid objects stopped at the end of this wall.Judging from the body language on the mural, they obviously wanted to go into the wall behind the altar, their upper body leaned forward vigorously, but for some reason they were timid and did not swim over.The look of eager anticipation and fear is actually like that of a human being.The rigid artistic expression of ancient Egypt could never have portrayed such a mood.

When I got closer, I found that the mural behind the altar only showed the upper part after Alex sacrificed, while the blocked lower half was still soaked in the unknown.

Patrick saw their destination, and walked alone into the only darkness.

In desperation, I had no choice but to bite the bullet and walk over, but accidentally glanced at those creatures.Their figures are not clear, but their eyes are definitely not human eyes, more like the protruding eyeballs of sharks or other deep-sea fish.

Maybe it's the seahorse who is curious about humans? I subconsciously greeted the mural, but of course I didn't get any response.

Li Yuan and the others had already caught up at this time.Seeing the familiar routine, he tore off the hemostatic tape on his hand without hesitation, and pressed it directly against the still dark wall.With the last piece of darkness peeling off, the mural behind the altar is fully revealed.We also know why the creatures didn't swim any further.

Because the mural is actually a piece of land.

"The original hill?"

In ancient Egyptian mythology, the original hill has always occupied a vital seat.That is the only land in the endless waters, where the first sun shines, where time begins, where death cannot touch.

But I immediately denied this idea of ​​​​myself.For what appeared before me was by no means the land of Egypt, and I could not even find anything like it on Earth.

The reddish-brown clods seemed to be coagulated from dried blood, and the scorched black rugged rocks poked straight into the ground.It is more plausible to say that there is a volcano erupting here every year, or that this is Dante's hell.In short, it is definitely a place where life cannot set foot.

However, after this piece of land appeared, the mural next to it also had a chain reaction.Those humanoid creatures that were originally floating in the sea eagerly stretched out their bodies, but hesitated not to approach them, as if they were very timid.And one of them seemed to jump onto the wasteland.

At this time, Patrick had already walked up the secret passage behind the altar.This guy is not a pure Egyptologist at all, he must have something to do with Boothwell.

I just had time to take another look.

Scenes of life and death are being staged in the murals.The humanoid creature that was definitely not a seahorse was stranded on the land, struggling to wipe the black blood all over the ground.Like a vampire in the sun in European legends, his body was scorched by the land, leaving only a wisp of black smoke in the end.But something remained, glowing in the moonlight.

Li Yuan put the hemostatic tape back on.He didn't care how much blood was spilled, he just didn't want to rub dirty clothes.Under Alex's stare, Li Yuan smiled obediently at her, and then entered the secret passage in front of me.He took the lead, and Alex, I, Yanuo, Chang Xiao and the people who came from behind walked in one by one.

This secret passage is low and gloomy, long and endless, as if hiding a history that has never seen the light of day.

"Why haven't I walked there for so long, is the altar so high?" Arno's voice seemed to come from underwater.

I also feel wrong.Although each of the twelve steps is more than half a meter high, it is time to turn up even if you walk around the altar.Unless inadvertently we've gone the other way.

"Look, there's something drawn on this!"

I hurriedly used the flashlight to look around.

That kind of humanoid creature appeared on the cold and slippery stone walls up and down, left and right.But this time instead of floating in the water, they crawled around us, struggling like drowning people or dehydrated fish.One of them even slapped hard on the wall above my head, his cheeks twitching rapidly, as if he was about to say something.The blurred and ferocious facial features cling to my upturned face, leaving a very deep shadow on me.

Watching all-round torture scenes in such a cramped environment is a double torture to the body and mind.There was constant cursing behind him.

I always felt that this thing on my head was expressing something, and I raised my head in a strange way.The creature, already curled up and twisted into a ball, looked at me sharply.It screamed silently and knocked its head hard in front of me.

Fortunately, this undersea tunnel-like ghost thing finally came to an end.

It was still dark in front of him, but with the faint light coming from nowhere, he could barely see that there was another wall not far away.While those people were exploring this space and looking for Patrick, I seized the opportunity to stretch my waist and move my arms and legs that had been suffocated for a long time.

Jarno poked me.

"What do you see him doing?"

I looked up.

Patrick, who left us and went ahead, was standing by the shimmering wall.Where did he hide just now, and he was able to hide from Carl and others whose noses are sharper than dogs.

I have so many things to ask him.What happened to Atlantis, what is the role of the ore that everyone has been pursuing, and what did Jacqueline hear that she must die.

"Wang, do you know 'cosmology'?"

Cosmology?This is a word derived from Greek and translated as cosmology. Its original meaning is to explore the order of the universe and how people should live in astronomy and physics.

I don't understand why Patrick brings this up out of nowhere, but he nods anyway.

"I've heard about it. But the universe is too far away, and now I have a few more realistic questions I want to ask you."

Patrick stared at the wall in front of him as if looking at the mysteries of the universe.

I have no time to wait for him to enlighten.There are too many weird things being hidden by them right now, I am eager to know the truth, and my tone has become anxious.

"Tell me what happened to Atlantis just now, why did you play tricks, and what did Jacqueline hear?"

"Atlantis." Patrick said the name slowly. "People in ancient times didn't necessarily know the universe, but they also explored the unknown. Whose utopia is the civilization that is silent underwater?"

Water is the source of life, and the sea shapes the earth.The known world tells us that water is an essential substance for life and nourishes our unique planet, but for those with extraordinary minds and infinite energy, they can try to conceive life with carriers other than water, so as to conceive the earth The unknown things in the outer universe.

I abhor charades.But Patrick was immersed in his own world, no matter how hard I asked, he refused to answer the question directly.

According to paleontologists, the ancestors of modern whales walked on land 300 million years ago.The animal known as the Bucky Whale is more like a wretched hyena on the African grasslands than the whales we are familiar with.Perhaps it is because the memory of being on land is too deep, the fetus of modern whales will grow legs briefly during the gestation process and then absorb them, and at the same time lose the possibility of going ashore again.

"Maybe it's like an Atlantean." Patrick said calmly.

"What does this mean?" I felt a bad feeling in my heart, and my hairs stood on end.

Is there anything that turns a man into a beast again?
　Finally finished the riddle of Atlantis!

　　Of course, the archaeological community has not yet concluded the authenticity of Atlantis. Perhaps the utopia in the ancient Greek philosopher [Dialogue] may be just a projection.So I'm not polite to use it to insinuate myself~
