Stealing Game

Chapter 119 Misreading the Oracle
As soon as Yanuo finished speaking, a black shadow came towards him.

I subconsciously wanted to drag him to the side, but he also grabbed me at the same time. Both of them were held back by the other, and they could only lock in place and watch the ghost rush over.

At the very moment, Arno raised his leg and kicked the ball of fur.

"Tempura?!" Yano exclaimed.

At this moment, it was too late to retract his legs, so he could only stagger forward a few steps, and was crawled all the way into his arms by the fat cat holding his pants.Tempura didn't know whether it was fat or his hair was trembling badly, and he was terrified to think about it.

"Why are you here? Where are Kawaii-san and the others?" Yano comforted the big cat nestling on his chest.Joshua looked up at him.

After being rubbed and coaxed for a long time, the orange cat finally showed its face.It raised its head high, revealing a collar without a nameplate.The metal sign with Tempura's name on it was consecrated by Kawaii-san before entering.

Arno scratched the short hairy neck.The fat cat narrowed its eyes in satisfaction and purred, but quickly pawed at him again.

Yano looked at Tempura in puzzlement: "What's wrong with you?" He said and checked that there were no wounds on the cat's body, and the temperature of the fur was normal.

"Take your hand away."

Chang Xiao couldn't stand it anymore.He let Yano continue to hold the fat cat, and he grabbed Tempura's collar and checked it carefully.Although the movements of his hands were urgent, they were as gentle as possible.After a while, Chang Xiao squeezed out a note from between the collar and the cat meat.Fortunately, Tempura is really an overly inflated cat, whose neck squeezes the collar to the brim, otherwise this little piece of paper must have been lost.

Chang Xiao carefully looked at it several times with his drooping eyes, and his eyelids trembled.My curiosity also trembled.

When the rest of the people saw a note taken out of the cat's collar, they also took a look.Chang Xiao let it out very frankly.When the note finally reached me, I realized why Chang Xiao didn't mind other people reading it.

Because those foreigners can't understand at all, except for the ancient Egyptian language of "Take your blood as a sacrifice" that I have seen countless times, it is written in Chinese.

Xia Shangzhou and I looked at each other, and we looked at Chang Xiao together.

"It's not Lao Bai's writing." Chang Xiao squinted his eyes, and now the note was back in his hand. "It's not Meng Weiqing's either, it should be a young man."

young people? 279 What about those young people, Li Yuan, Jiang Can, Ding Ze, He Rongchuan, Lou Shiqi, often laughing that saying this means not saying anything.

I looked at the note again, and I always felt that the handwriting was a bit familiar.

I have seen Li Yuan's handwriting.The Spring Festival couplets pasted by Grandpa Li’s house were written by him, and the auspicious words written on the Wei stele are quite impressive.And I've seen him write German in the sand.

But the handwriting in front of him is far less beautiful than Li Yuan's.It wasn't Lou Shiqi's either. When the archaeological team came to 279, we filled out a form. His handwriting was so lackluster that I wouldn't remember it until now.And I haven't seen a few other people write, but I do recognize the handwriting on this note.Where did you see it?

"Yu, what is written on it?" Yano urged me to translate.

I looked at Xia Shangzhou and Chang Xiao, and then read the two lines scrawled on the note:

【Only the gods live forever under the sun
See you Duat]

"Only the gods live under the sun forever." I repeated twice.It’s the Epic of Gilgamesh again. How could there be a Sumerian legend in the underworld of ancient Egypt?
In addition to those two lines of Chinese, there is also "Take Your Blood as a Sacrifice" written in ancient Egyptian.These people may not be able to recognize Chinese, but the frequency of this line of ancient Egyptian is too high, so everyone is looking at Ali at this moment.

Ali looked bewildered, obviously not knowing why this sentence appeared.But this guy is very deceptive, and I will never be fooled by his acting skills again.But the note could also be misleading, just to make us mistrust each other.

"Yu, come over and look at this."

Arno held the tempura and walked to the mural where Fat Cat just hid.There's a depression in there, but it doesn't look like a shrine or a statue.And I'm sure it was just an ordinary mural wall.On the wall opposite the depression was a relief of a very awkward-looking deity portrayed as a mummy.

Yet He is not Osiris.This is a deformed dwarf, the body is wrapped in mummy cloth, the limbs are bent, and there is a strange childlike bun on the huge bald head.But in the unfettered hands of this god, he holds a life talisman and a spine of Osiris, which symbolizes stability and omnipotence.

I temporarily put aside my doubts about the note, and looked at the relief that I had just ignored as if I was blind.

"Did you see this relief just now?" I asked Arno.

He shook his head hesitantly. "When we waited for Lee and Alex, we walked all over this corridor. I don't remember this one. Er, which god is this?"

I asked Xia Shangzhou again, and she also said that she had never seen this relief.

"Yu, what the hell is this?" Yano asked.

I stared gravely at the deformed dwarf wrapped in a mummy.

This god is not in the ancient Egyptian theogony that is familiar to later generations, but he has been worshiped since ancient times, and was even revered as the ruling god by the pharaohs and people of the ancient kingdom.At that time, the ancient Egyptians believed that everything in Memphis came from his "heart" and "tongue".Combined with the new murals on the wall, it also proves the identity of this god.

"He is probably Puta, the god of creation."

The most awe-inspiring legend about God Puta records: the words written by him are reality.And this mural, I'm afraid it is the papyrus on which He exerted his divine power.This is why the original reliefs we have seen have changed.

But when did the mural begin to change?Several of us have been listening to Joshua's story, no one left the team, let alone have the opportunity to trigger anything.

"The God of Creation? Disrespect and disrespect." Yano held Tempura's paws and worshiped God Pupta, and then educated it: "You dare to go anywhere, don't run around later, follow us Well, this place is not safe."

His words made me look away from the mural.

"Yu?" Yano freed a hand to brush his hair.

I stared at him: "You said, 'Tempura dares to go anywhere'?"

So is it possible that it's not that Kawaii-san and others don't want to come back to us with Tempura, but that they can't.

I watched Ali out of the corner of my eye.Ever since I talked about God Puta with Yano, he couldn't maintain his innocent appearance anymore, and he was a little restless.It seems that I am not the only one who understands the priesthood of Ptah, so now I probably know how the murals began to change.It became clear what kind of priests Hassan and Laila really were.

Ali gritted his teeth and walked awkwardly in front of Yanuo and me.And he didn't open his mouth to excuse himself.

"Hassan and the others may have had an accident."

Arno gasped.Although I was mentally prepared, I was still suffocating.

"What do you know?"

Ali looked up, full of sadness, at the still-changing mural.

"You're right. What Ptah wrote, that's what happens. And they're changing His writing."

Change the will of the gods?The price to pay for this is self-evident.

Does the note "Only the gods dwell under the sun forever" mean we can never get out again?Or, in order to change this fate, Hassan and Laila did something against the sky.

Like the truth, each of us is crippled.If the information is not complete enough, the truth cannot be seen.

Staring at the note full of mysteries again, I remembered why I felt the handwriting was familiar.

"This is my word"
