Stealing Game

Chapter 129 The Black Sun

I was woken up by the water.

The drumming stopped at some point.The surrounding area seemed to be frozen, and the sound of water droplets hitting metal could be vaguely heard in the distance.

Subconsciously took a deep breath, but coughed himself up, as if his internal organs had been crushed.I didn't know how to force the lid of the lead coffin to be lifted just now, but the result of being directly exposed to the radiation is now soaked in the water like a rotten fish.

I don't know how long I passed out.I gritted my teeth and propped myself up, leaning against the water-soaked lead coffin, barely relieving the burning sensation flowing through my limbs and bones.

Before I woke up from the coffin behind me, I was with Yanuo, Xia Shangzhou and others, but I couldn't remember what happened between them like a fragment.If this space does contain a piece of radioactive ore as I expected, then the person who put me in the lead coffin may even be trying to protect me.

But me being left alone was problematic in itself.If you were afraid that I would be irradiated, why didn't you take me directly instead of putting me in the coffin with all the trouble.What's more, it seems that Yanuo and others left in no hurry, there were no signs of fighting or fleeing around, and even left a flashlight steadily shining on the altar.Unless it wasn't them who put me in the coffin.

Speaking of the altar, I've seen it before I actually woke up from the coffin.Recalling the experience at that time, the touch of touching the metal seems to be still in the hand.After I got used to the burning pain that made me breathless, I stood up holding the coffin.Oddly enough, I took another look back before going to the altar to verify.

The light from the flashlight on the ground could not reach the inside of the lead coffin.Now I don't dare to move the only light source rashly. Fortunately, there is an identical flashlight in my carry-on equipment, so I took it out to get an overview of the situation of the lead coffin.I don't know if it was unexpected or not, but there were no funerary goods inside, only a solitary lead pillow tilted at the end of the coffin.Thanks to this, otherwise I would have caused a lot of damage to cultural relics just now by bumping into it.I just breathed a sigh of relief, but felt something was wrong.

According to the intensity with which I was dying from the pain just now, I slammed my head on the coffin wall countless times, and I must have seen red a long time ago.But now there is not even a trace of blood in the coffin, and the inscriptions that shone with dazzling golden light as I got closer and closer to the seam of the coffin are just some ordinary scratches at this time.My hairs stood on end all of a sudden, and I felt all over my body, but I couldn't find any wounds.

Is everything in the coffin my hallucination?But the pain was too real, no matter how hard I tried, I wouldn't have the dream of being put into a frying pan.

Or, my blood did bleed.I looked at the altar illuminated by light.Reminiscent of the [Take Your Blood as a Sacrifice] in this temple and the golden inscription that will change when the book of the afterlife is rewritten, I was heartbroken, and I took a dagger from my leggings and poked it at my index finger.

A drop of bright red blood came out.

My hanging heart relaxed a little.The blood of the gods is golden, so it looks like I didn't become another species just because I was locked in a lead coffin and irradiated.

I rubbed the blood on my pants casually, and I took out the flashlight and hit the place that was not illuminated.Nothing but darkness.

I don't want to explore the unknown with the unknown yet, so I can only start with the altar first.And I always feel as if something is asking me to look forward.

I first checked the supplies on my body. Except for the flashlight, I also carried a lot of the equipment from the 279 rounds, and I also had gloves and a pocket watch made by Ah Tian.

I don't know how long I will stay in this place, so I turned off my flashlight to save resources, and walked towards the altar by the light of the flashlight placed under the altar.

In front of the altar, there is a table placed on the back of a copper bull, which is filled with various sacrifices.The exquisite and translucent grapes have an attractive luster, the golden ears of wheat reflect the light, and there is a plate of black sesame candies.
Why does this sesame candy look so familiar?

I took a closer look, what kind of sesame candy is here, it is clearly the iron ore I saw in the nameless temple under the archaeological site!And the bunch of grapes are * made of various metals, and the ears of wheat are carved out of gold plating.

The ancient Egyptians really liked to imitate natural creations, but this is the first time I have seen them.

But this reminds me that maybe imitation of nature is the construction concept here.Because I walked all the way from the lead coffin to the altar, I always feel that this space is "alive".

As I got closer to the altar, the upper, lower, left, and right walls felt squeezed towards me.When I walked up the stone steps and came to the altar, I could see the Eye of Horus and the inscriptions painted on the walls on both sides as soon as I looked up.It is not like the praises and blessings that are often seen in the temple, but a spell full of fear, which penetrates deep into the wall, for fear of being erased.

And the altar is stuck in the middle.

However, there is no corpse trapped by the inscription spell, nor is there a swaying lotus flower on it.After walking up the steps, there was no corpse on the altar, which really made me breathe a sigh of relief.A scroll of papyrus scriptures was spread out on the altar, and a string of heavy talismans was pressed on top of it.I am familiar with the hateful [Sacrifice of Your Blood] engraved on the lotus petals of the altar.

A leaden stele stood before the altar, the sentence of Seth.There is also such a monument in the abandoned temple that Li Yuan and I saw following the quicksand made by Apepu.

Seth also appeared on the mural directly behind the altar. The golden blood of the desert god rushed to a banyan tree. His bones were stripped from his body and flew up the tree by the Benu bird.Behind this, the veins of densely packed banyan leaves are like weird smiling faces.

Tick.

Tick.

I took my attention away from the mural of the evil door, held my breath, listened to the sound of water, and followed the sound to the wall.

A nearly black liquid gurgled from the dent cut into the wall, like blood that had dried up and was struggling to flow.The sound of water was the sound of "blood" falling on the ground.

But it's not right.What I heard was clearly the sound of liquid falling on metal, but this blood was dripping on the stone floor.And the blood disappeared as soon as it fell on the ground, as if it was directly absorbed by the ground.

I couldn't help frowning, stood up and looked at the place again.

Although the altar is indeed sitting on a high platform, its position is even lower than the lead coffin I climbed out of.In ancient Egypt, the builders of temples and tombs would take into account the diversion of the Nile River, so basically the most important things in a space would be relatively high.

It can't be that the empty lead coffin is more important than the altar, right?

Even so, there is still something wrong.

I went up to the altar again.Later, the banyan tree in the mural was covered with strange smiling faces. I endured the disgust and searched carefully, and I found an inconspicuous silhouette on the trunk.

This is a fake door that can only appear in tombs.I was also frightened when Hassan and the others took me to the Valley of the Kings, and there was one on the wall that Li Yuan smashed with one punch.

It's also standard.

I pursed my lips and leaned towards the door.It opened as soon as it was touched.

Inside is a clear and turbid ore full of contradictions but fit.Is this the real [Eternal Eye]?Or the Mayan one, or the stone from Atlantis that imprisoned the storm?No matter which one it is, as soon as I get close to it, I know that the magnetic field on this thing has not disappeared.

The door must have been opened after the sacrifice.

But among the left-behind people like Yanuo and I, no one's blood should be recognized.Unless... I reluctantly picked up the stone, walked down the steps and picked up the flashlight that has been working hard to illuminate it.

Could it be that Li Yuan and the others were here just now, and the drumbeat I heard was really a sacrifice?

I definitely don't believe in any ancient Egyptian mysteries, mummies can really come back from the dead.Besides, I'm already very nervous now, and I don't want to scare myself anymore.

But what is heard now is definitely not the sound of drums, but more like the sound of footsteps.Very heavy footsteps.

The sound came from far to near, slow and fragmented, very grating.

There was silence all around, but my ears are so good now that I heard the sound of breaking ground from the dead silence.Then came the sound of footsteps.The flashlight under the altar suddenly went out.

I rushed from the altar to the lead coffin and grabbed the pillow.Sure enough, the lead pillow was empty.I shoved the rock that was still burning me in, grabbed the pillow and ran into the darkness.

By this time blood was dripping all over the ground, and every step I took made the whole place tremble.From the cloudy and broken mirror, I clearly saw a black sun.

　happy national day everyone
　　Live a good life and build the motherland

　　Ancient Egypt really used grape products made of metal.
