Chapter 149 Chapter 149

Khufu was called by Kaba to help carry the coffin. Such a coffin usually has several layers, but as a servant's sarcophagus, it only has two layers.

After opening the outermost sarcophagus, you can see a small human-shaped coffin inside. Of course, it is not made of gold. The servants are not qualified to use such precious metal. It is just an ordinary wooden coffin. Because of the dry environment in the area, it has not decayed.

"Go on." The boss excitedly directed the others, "You two carry it over there, and I and this big guy will carry it over here."

"The person buried here should be a servant. I wonder if the servant has anything valuable on him." Kaba rubbed his hands excitedly.

The man who had been silent the whole time spoke up: "Forget about gold and silver, but there are definitely copper jewelry."

The people of ancient Mississippi all wore white linen clothes. The color did not represent class, only the cloth and the material used. Therefore, no matter whether they were high-ranking or lowly, they would wear ornaments to decorate their plain white clothes. However, the royal family and nobles would use gold, while the lowly would use copper and shells. In addition, coral and agate were also valuable items that ordinary people could not afford, but the royal family could give such small items to their beloved servants.

Even if none of these are found, even if only a few painted pottery rings are found, they can still be sold at a high price as antique objects from thousands of years ago.

Anything of value must be taken away when it comes. This is the purpose of tomb robbers.

There was a rubbing sound, and the innermost coffin was opened a little. The eldest brother couldn't wait to stretch his neck to look inside the coffin. Unfortunately, because the light didn't shine directly into the coffin, he couldn't see anything.

"Hey, you, shine the light inside and take a look!" the boss said to Khufu, directing him.

Khufu nodded hesitantly and put down the coffin lid. The heavy weight suddenly fell on the hands of the three men, especially the eldest brother who was moving the same head as him. He almost couldn't hold it and was so angry that he started cursing.

The person being scolded was a little dazed. He shook his head and for a moment he didn't know whether to take the lamp or cover the coffin first.

"Go get the light!" the boss said angrily, and then said to Kaba rudely, "The man you brought is really stupid!"

Kaba didn't say anything, and it was obvious that he also agreed with the boss's idea. But if this man was not stupid and was very smart, he would never bring anyone here. A cunning follower would only have bad ideas after seeing the huge wealth, and then he would be the one in danger.

It's better the way it is now.

Khufu came back with the lamp. He took the coffin lid from the boss, moved it aside and put it down. The three people holding the coffin were finally freed. The huge coffin was half exposed. The boss took the lamp from Khufu and wanted to look inside.

Then something jumped over and hit the boss's hand. The lamp in his hand fell to the ground with a snap. The glass cover in front of the lamp was broken, but fortunately the bulb was fine and could still be used.

"What is it?" The eldest brother looked around. There was only a small area of ​​light where they were. The rest of the room was in darkness and he could not see anything.

The boss swallowed his saliva, he didn't do this kind of business very often, because 80% of the tombs of the ancient Mixi Kingdom had buildings protruding out of the desert, it was easy to know the location of the ancient tombs, he wished they had been robbed eight hundred years ago, and when he sneaked in, the most he could do was to see if there were any valuables missed by previous tomb robbers, and eight out of ten times he returned empty-handed.

Therefore, grave robbing is not very popular in modern Mississippi, especially after many tombs have been developed and protected as tourist attractions, where people can buy tickets to enter openly. Anyway, the archaeologists even took away the coffins, and there is really nothing left except the murals and inscriptions in the tombs.

"What's wrong?" Kaba asked.

"It's okay..." The boss leaned over and picked up the lamp that fell on the ground. As he squatted down, he didn't see the edge of the coffin close to him. Four fingers slowly appeared and grabbed the edge of the coffin, and then retracted into the coffin.

The lamp flickered, and the boss clapped his hands nervously, then mustered up his courage and shone the light into the coffin again.

A mummy wrapped in a long cloth appeared in front of several people. On the mummy were the deceased's belongings, just as the boss expected, including several copper bracelets, a necklace made of coral and copper blocks, and a pair of copper slippers.

"Huh~" The boss breathed a sigh of relief and reached into the coffin to take out the burial objects.

Kaba and the other two just looked at him, and saw that the boss had already grabbed the necklace on the mummy's chest. The next second, the mummy's hand moved and grabbed the boss' wrist tightly.

"ah------"

With a scream, the boss was so frightened that his back went numb and he trembled continuously as if he had been electrocuted.

Kaba was startled. When he realized what had happened, he turned around and was about to run. Then he saw that the tomb passage he had come from was blocked by stone slabs at some point, and he could not go back.

The mummy in the coffin turned its head and looked at the boss. Its mouth, wrapped in cloth, opened and closed, and no one knew what it was saying. The boss just instinctively felt that it was very angry.

"I'm sorry, I was wrong, I'll give it back to you, I don't want it anymore!!" The boss' legs were shaking and his pants were wet.

The man who had been following him silently immediately took out a telescopic stick from his bag, pulled it out and smashed it at the mummy's arm that was holding the boss's wrist. The arm broke with a snap, and the boss retreated repeatedly with half of the mummy's hand bone hanging on his wrist.

"Run." The boss hurriedly called out to his companions. These were his true brothers. As for others, he didn't care.

Because he was too panicked, the eldest brother did not immediately find the tomb passage he came from. Instead, he saw an open tomb entrance and tried to go in by bending over.

As a result, a black thing crawled out from inside. It looked like a beetle. The boss retreated tremblingly.

"No, find another way..." the boss said with a trembling voice.

Kaba, who also wanted to leave through this tomb passage, saw dense beetles and said in despair: "The tomb passage we came from is blocked, and Khufu can't open it."

"Mad, how could this happen?" The eldest brother's voice was filled with tears. He saw the hand bone still hanging on his wrist, and hurriedly reached out to knock it off, but it was held so tightly that he couldn't knock it off at all.

"Where's Ali?" another man asked. "He discovered this tomb, so he should know something."

As soon as these words came out, several people realized that Ali was missing.

"He left a long time ago." Khufu said, raising his hand.

Kaba was angry: "Why didn't you tell me earlier!!"

"I...I wanted to say it before." Khufu shrank his neck.

Kaba almost wanted to cry, he always thought that bringing a fool was not a bad thing, but now he thinks that it is better to bring a smart person, at least he will not be cheated to death.

In front of the tomb chamber and precious burial objects, the person who told them the news of the ancient tomb disappeared. It was strange no matter how you thought about it.

Now it seems that Ali must have lured them here on purpose.

No wonder Ali got drunk so easily that day and kept muttering about ways to get rich. Now that I think about it carefully, I was deliberately telling him the news and luring him here.

"What now?" Kaba asked.

Several people were standing against the corner of the tomb wall. In front of them was a mummy slowly rising from the coffin, on the right was the blocked entrance to the tomb, and on the left was a swarm of beetles trying to escape.

No matter how you look at it, it's a dead end.

"I've seen movies where these beetles burrow into your skin and eat all the dirt," Khufu said, with a 'see, I know this stuff' look on his face.

Kaba: "Shut the fuck up!!!"

Is it time to talk about movies?

They are all going to die!

Even if these beetles really burrowed into his skin like in the movies, he didn't want to know this information at all!

"It must be a curse."

“Does this thing really exist?”

"Strange things have already appeared, so what's so strange about curses?"

"Weird?" Kaba's eyes lit up slightly. "Do you think it's possible that these are actually weird?"

The other three were silent, watching the mummy staggering towards them. The eldest said angrily, "Even if it is, what can we do if we know it!!"

Is there any difference between being killed by a curse and being killed by a weird?

Souls can’t go to heaven??

"Mad, I shouldn't have come." The mummy walked up to him, and the boss closed his eyes in fear.

However, the painful death never came, and he slowly opened his eyes.

The lamp in his hand illuminated the scene in front of him clearly. The mummy wrapped in cloth stood there blankly, and then, as if it could no longer maintain this standing posture, it fell to the ground with a thud.

The beetles also stopped.

"What, what happened?" The boss looked around.

"I don't know." Kaba shook his head.

Because they were too scared, except for Khufu, who was a tough guy, the three of them closed their eyes, so they didn't know what had just happened.

"Khufu, did you see it?" Kaba asked.

Khufu nodded and pointed at the mummy: "The black thing fell on it, and then it stopped moving."

To be precise, it was some kind of black mud that seeped out from the cracks in the tomb wall, bounced onto the mummy, swallowed up a little bit of black mist, and then quickly merged into the floor and left.

When walking, they still passed through the swarm of beetles. These controlled beetles fell into a state of confusion for a short time because they lost the control of their master, but they soon followed their instincts and left.

Sure enough, within two minutes of the mummy falling, the swarm of beetles started moving and scattered in all directions.

No one could understand Khufu's simple and scribbled explanation, but they knew they had dodged a bullet.

Unlike them, the audience in the live broadcast room saw clearly what just happened.

[The black thing that flashed by just now must be Shamon's hand.]

[Is that the black mud that the hands turned into, or is it an ability? ]

[Although they don't know what happened, Shamon's ability saved their lives. They should thank the awakened one. ]

[Do you think this weird live broadcast has always been weird? ]

[Your words are so strange. They are weird to begin with.]

[No, I mean... ah, damn the translation system. ]

[I am from China, I understand what you mean. The double meaning of a word in square characters is difficult to understand unless it is manually translated. ]

[Yes, for example, the phrase 'One line, one line, one line, one line, one line, one line, one line, one line,' can drive foreigners crazy. ]

[……………………The translation is broken. What is this? ]

[Ha, I knew it. I'm curious about how you would translate this sentence.]

[Come back to the topic, I want to ask, don’t you think Shamon is weird? ]

【What's strange? 】

【When I was watching the live broadcast, I looked at him and thought, 'This guy is so handsome, I love him so much, he is a good person, he must be a traveler who strayed here by mistake.' Then when I switched to another live broadcast room and stopped watching him, I deleted his image from my mind and thought about his behavior again. I would think he was plotting something. But when I switched to another live broadcast room and saw his face, I would think, 'I actually doubted him, I am simply a sinner!' This state is very strange. I know I am a beauty lover, but to this extent, is there something wrong? Is it me who is wrong, or is it Shamon who is wrong? 】

【You are wrong. 】

[Don't mention it, I have the same feeling. As soon as I saw his face, I felt very close to him and liked him very much.]

[Calm down, this is just a normal reaction when seeing a handsome guy. ]

【Really? 】

[I don't have any feelings for handsome guys, but when I saw his face, I also had the desire to get close to him, although it was very weak.]

[I can only say that some people are born with this kind of aura, which makes people like them when they see them. ]

[Is that so?]

In front of the computer screen, the woman who had typed this subtitle tapped her chin in confusion. No matter how she thought about it, she felt that this ability was a bit similar to the charm of the butterfly boy she saw in the neon area of ​​the weird live broadcast room.

However, an awakened person should not have two abilities. At least so far, they are all awakened with only one ability, so...it turns out that she was overthinking it.
