Chapter 311 Mysterious Human Skin
"Open it all and let me see." Su Yun did not promise, but just said so.
Carlos and the other two showed surprise on their faces.
This little guy can understand?
Really? Is he playing tricks on them?
With a suspicious attitude, Carlos endured the discomfort and pulled the rolled human skin with both hands.
As the human skin was pulled apart, a colorful picture that did not fade, and some ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs that looked like birds and snakes were revealed.
"This is..." Su Yun was a little surprised and looked at it carefully.
Ryan and the other two couldn't help but hold their breath slightly. In the end, Carlos couldn't bear it anymore and asked, "What's written on it?"
Su Yun was very interested in it and pointed to the image on the human skin.
The place where he pointed was a color picture of a cross scale, with things placed on both sides of the scale, and a guy with a wolf's head and a human body squatting under the scale.
"You should be familiar with this guy, a wolf-headed human body." Su Yun said.
"Anubis, the god of death?" Carlos said a little hesitantly.
"Yes, it's Anubis." Su Yun nodded.
"Anubis is the god of death in Egyptian mythology. He is in charge of hell and is mainly responsible for the weighing of the scale of judgment."
He pointed to the picture again, "Do you see the things on both sides of the scale? The one on the left is a heart, and the one on the right is a feather."
"Legend has it that people will be judged after death. A fair feather is placed on one side of the scale, and the heart of the deceased is placed on the other side."
"If the heart is equal to the feather, then the person can ascend to heaven and live forever with the gods."
"If the heart is heavier than the feather, then the person is guilty and will be sent to hell and eaten by the devil."
Carlos and the other two looked a little surprised.
Su Yun explained softly, "This thing is called the Pyramid Book, or the Book of the Dead, but..."
He glanced at Carlos and the other two.
"This thing is usually a burial object, and it is only easy to preserve it in a sealed object, such as a coffin."
Carlos and Matt listened to the words in their ears, and noticed that the boy's eyes swept over them. The two of them suddenly felt uncomfortable, as if they were seen through something.
But the next moment, the two shook their heads and threw the idea out of their minds.
"It's just a little guy, it must be an illusion." They thought so.
They did get this Book of the Dead from a sarcophagus.
There was no mummy in the sarcophagus at all. Although there were some burial objects, they were just bait. They almost lost their lives.
But they were really surprised that this little guy could figure it out.
At this time, Carlos pointed to the ancient Egyptian characters and asked curiously, "There are some words written on this painting. Do you know them?"
"I'm curious too!" Ryan was excited.
Su Yun glanced at them and said, "These are some poems praising God."
Looking at the ancient Egyptian characters, he chanted slowly, "The dead rise up and sing the sun, praising you, sun god, for your amazing ascent! You rise and shine, causing the heavens to roll aside."
After selectively reading a passage, he said, "In addition to these hymns, there are some interesting things recorded."
"It says here that Osiris's body after his death was buried in a place that exists and does not exist."
"Wait, Osiris?" Carlos and the other two stopped quickly, with surprise on their faces.
"Isn't that the Osiris we know? Isn't he the god of the underworld?"
Su Yun explained, "Osiris is one of the nine most important gods in Egypt, the 'Nine Gods'. But he was an enlightened king during his lifetime, and only after his death did he become the ruler of the underworld and the judge of death."
"In other words, he became a god after his death, and he was still a mortal during his lifetime, so it's normal for him to have a body."
Su Yun has seen many cases of mortals becoming gods after their death, and he is almost used to it. As for whether the other party is a god, that's a matter of opinion.
At least he hasn't seen a guy with extraordinary powers for so long.
However, there seems to be something wrong with the description...
"Oh." Ryan suddenly realized after hearing this.
Carlos and Matt looked at each other, and they couldn't help showing surprised expressions in their eyes, but they thought of something together.
A place that exists and doesn't exist... Osiris...
In an instant, the two of them breathed faster unconsciously, and their heartbeats began to accelerate.
Could it be that Osiris is buried in that pyramid?
Oh my God!
Thinking of this, their hearts were suddenly filled with enthusiasm, and they wanted to rush into the pyramid to explore and get the treasures inside.
Maybe they can get a few artifacts?
Su Yun narrowed his eyes slightly, and looked at them with a hint of interest, but in a blink of an eye, he returned to a harmless look.
He murmured to himself in confusion, "Strange, Osiris is said to be buried in Abydos City and is the patron saint there. How could he run to this place?"
"Is it possible that later generations moved in?" Ryan said hesitantly.
Carlos saw Su Yun fell into deep thought. He just learned about the gods and became anxious. "Is there anything else written on it?"
Su Yun stopped thinking, took another look at the human skin, and suddenly said faintly, "Do you really want to know?"
Carlos and the other two were puzzled for a while, but still nodded.
Su Yun pointed to the last paragraph on the human skin, a paragraph with very special handwriting.
"It contains a vicious curse."
"Anyone who disturbs Hades will be taken to hell and punished by never being reborn!"
The voice seemed to carry a bone-chilling chill, which made the three men shudder, especially Carlos and Matt, whose faces turned pale.
They thought of a question. They had already entered the pyramid. Would it be considered a disturbance? Would they be cursed?
Thinking of this, they were very scared.
It was rumored that those who had entered the pyramid or the tomb of the pharaoh either died strangely or died of illness, not to mention the pyramid of Hades. Would they be one of them?
Thinking of this, they suddenly felt a little regretful.
Just as they were afraid, they heard the little guy sighing and saying, "It's a pity that there is no place recorded in this book of death, and we can't find that place."
"I really don't know what's inside. Will there be countless treasures? Or the legendary artifact?"
He was full of regret, "If we can find this place, what a great opportunity it would be? What a pity..."
Carlos and Matt, who were still afraid, couldn't help but have red eyes and shortness of breath.
Treasures!
Artifacts!
They knew that this was very possible!
As a god, there must be a few artifacts buried with him, right?
There are also treasures. Even the pharaohs have countless treasures, so Osiris, who is known as a god, doesn't have more?
Let's fight!
The two looked at each other and saw the fiery and determination in each other's eyes.
Su Yun's mouth corners slightly raised, thinking to himself, "There is indeed something wrong with these two people. They should know that place."
If the description on the human skin is correct, then that mysterious place has also aroused his interest.
Treasures are nothing, but artifacts are precious!
"I've been lucky recently. It seems that the blessing spell used to hurry on the road has worked. It's really a coincidence..."
The three of them were thinking about their own things here, leaving Ryan alone with a face full of surprise, not realizing anything at all.
After a while of silence at the scene, Carlos and the others also calmed down.
Matt suddenly frowned, noticed a problem, and looked at Su Yun with a puzzled face.
"Little guy, how can you understand ancient Egyptian characters? Who are you?"
Carlos and Ryan were shocked when they heard this. They realized belatedly that how could this little guy understand these ancient hieroglyphs that even experts might not be able to recognize?
And it seemed that he was very proficient in it, without a trace of confusion.
Carlos hesitated and said, "And those gold coins..."
The three of them thought of the gold coins that were taken out casually, and felt that this fragile and beautiful little guy in front of them was full of mystery.
Rich, beautiful, and knowledgeable, is this really a child that ordinary people can raise?
They thought of their previous guess again. Could this little guy really be a child of some noble family who was running away and was met by them?
Thinking of this, Carlos couldn't help but feel fortunate. He patted Su Yun on the shoulder and said, "You are so lucky to have met us, and you were not taken away by those bad guys!"
Matt nodded repeatedly, "My God, it's hard to imagine how badly you will be treated if you face them alone!"
Su Yun's mouth twitched slightly. What did these two guys think of?
His face was full of question marks.
Ryan said, "Speaking of gold coins, kid, are you sure you want to sell these gold coins?"
Su Yun nodded.
Ryan lowered his head and carefully observed the gold coins, and counted them again. There were nine in total.
He quickly estimated the true value in his mind, and after the estimation, he thought about how much to cut.
He opened his mouth and was about to cut it in half, "These nine..."
However, when he looked up and looked at Su Yun's harmless and delicate face that looked like a work of art, the price he was going to offer suddenly turned around and only reduced by half.
"I can give you 70,000 dollars."
After saying that, Ryan explained again, fearing that he might misunderstand, "Do you need me to introduce the gold coins in detail? Don't feel that you are losing money. I didn't make much money at this price, and I still have to sell it..."
"No, let's just leave it at that." Su Yun said without any concern.
Ryan's face trembled. Why did he feel that this little guy didn't care at all? Is this the life of the rich?
He suddenly felt a little regretful in his heart. Did he waste the opportunity to make money in vain?
The two of them were discussing the price here, while Carlos and Matt next to them were stunned.
"Oh my God!" Carlos muttered to himself.
"Brother, are you right? 70,000 dollars?" Matt opened his mouth wide.
The two looked at the gold coins differently, especially when they turned to Su Yun, they couldn't hide their surprise.
To be honest, if the other party was not a child, they would have wanted to rob him if they could not lose face!
After trading good things with Su Yun and Carlos, Ryan thought of something and said with a smile, "Hey, where did you get that human skin? Can you tell me?"
"It's not convenient." Carlos refused.
Ryan: "..."
After the three were sent out of the store, Carlos looked at Su Yun with a bulging pocket and reminded him, "Be careful, don't let those people see it."
As he said that, he glanced at the Egyptians around him who were wearing robes and white scarves on their heads, and glared at them fiercely, which made those people turn their peeping eyes back.
Su Yun naturally knew what he was talking about and nodded without comment.
Carlos saw that there was no fear on his face and he didn't care about what he said at all, so he couldn't help but sigh.
"I'd better take you out of this place quickly!"
Matt nodded in agreement.
In the eyes of the two of them, this little guy was innocent and didn't know the dangers of the world, just like a flower in a greenhouse, so he was not afraid at all.
Naturally, he didn't dare to let him stay here any longer, lest he be eaten by others with skin and bones.
"It's just right that after sending you out, the two of us have to do business." Carlos and Matt looked at each other, and there was a hint of excitement in their eyes.
It's time to contact that private organization!
Su Yun hooked his lips obscurely and nodded.
In this way, the three of them walked towards the alley from when they came.
Along the way, Su Yun carefully looked at the things sold on the stalls.
Not to mention, he really saw some useful things while observing all the way.
For example, sabers, nylon ropes and other things for exploration.
As for why he paid attention to these things, of course, he was going to find an opportunity, and then sneak into Matt's team to explore that place.
"But the problem with the role I play this time is that I can't use supernatural powers."
Now the positioning of this identity in his mind is that of an ordinary person. Even if he encounters danger, he will not use supernatural powers, and can only rely on his body at most.
Of course, with his physical fitness and nerve reaction speed, he doesn't think anything will happen. Even if something happens, it will be someone else's fault.
So those equipments were bought purely for auxiliary use, to slightly cover up and disguise the abnormality of the body, so that he can look like a normal person.
"After all, I am a beautiful boy. Wouldn't it be inappropriate to become a superman?"
Su Yun lowered his head and pondered.
Suddenly, he noticed something and looked up at the front.
After this time, the three of them had walked into the dark alley.
But as soon as he walked in, Su Yun noticed something wrong.
After walking a few steps, a burst of footsteps suddenly sounded around.
Now, not to mention Su Yun, even Carlos and Matt also noticed something wrong.
Soon, a group of eight people surrounded them, each with their hands on their chests, looking at them unkindly.
"Pa pa pa..."
The sound of clapping came out.
"So, do you still like to meddle in other people's business this time?" A familiar mocking voice sounded.
"Hehe..." Jayne looked at them and sneered.
"It's you!"
Carlos and Matt's faces changed, and they glanced at the eight people who surrounded them, and they suddenly thought it was not good.
