Chapter 151 Chapter 151

"What...what is that?" Thor asked fearfully.

The rustling sound was getting closer and closer. Shamon walked slowly forward, standing in front of Thor and the professor, staring at the tomb passage in front of him vigilantly.

"Ah... my noble king..." a deep male voice sounded, weakly, "I offer the sacrifice to you, please..."

A hand stretched out from the tomb passage, and then the owner of the hand slowly crawled out of the tomb passage, stood up and faced Shamon and the other two.

The professor moved the light in his hand upwards and shone it on the man's face. After seeing the other person's appearance clearly, he was frightened and took a step back. The man in front of him had a normal body, but he looked weird from the neck up. There was not a single hair on his round head, and his slightly blue face was covered with bumps. It looked as ugly and abnormal as the skin of a toad. There was something long and thin swimming under the skin, and the bulge made people dare not imagine what the thing swimming under the skin was.

"Sacrifice..." the man said in a hoarse voice, his eyes looking to the left and to the right, his gaze unable to focus, so Shamon and the other two didn't know who he was looking at.

"Weird, weird!" Thor exclaimed.

Shamon: ...

No, this is not weird, this is human.

It's just that there's a layer of weird power surrounding this person, but he himself doesn't possess the weird power. If it weren't for the existence of the divine pupil, I'm afraid Shamon would have made a mistake.

But why did it turn out like this?

Is it a failure of awakening? The salvation system did mention that many people who have obtained strange powers are likely to become monsters during the process of mutation.

But even if he failed to awaken and became like this, the evil power should be filled inside his body instead of lingering outside it.

"Host, he didn't fail to awaken." The salvation system reminded Shamon in his mind, "He signed a contract with Qiyi."

Shamon: ...Is this still possible?

When he was about to ask the system for details, the man in front of him stretched out his hand to attack. Shamon raised his hand and grabbed Ali's head. However, after feeling the uneven skin in the center of his palm, he withdrew his hand in disgust and kicked him out.

The kick was so fast that neither the professor nor the audience in the live broadcast room could see clearly how he made the kick.

【So cool! 】

[As expected of an awakened person, so amazing! ! ]

[Although I also think that awakened people are very powerful, but this... isn't it a bit too powerful? This is a trained person. 】

[It is amazing that a martial artist can reach this level. I know that only a person named Li in China could achieve such a fast speed.]

【That is the Grandmaster.】

Ali was lying on the ground with a confused look in his eyes, as if he was wondering why he fell to the ground.

Shamon looked at the other person. This person seemed to have... a low IQ.

Then he quietly asked the system: "What is the situation of signing a contract with Qiyi?"

Savior System: "Host, do you know about monsters? In the same way, since humans can take monsters under their command, monsters can naturally control humans for their own use. There are not many monsters that can forcibly control and drive humans, and they basically belong to the category of mental monsters."

"Another psychic?"

"Host, don't be nervous. The monsters in this tomb are not of the spiritual system. The reason why they can control this human is that humans are willing to be their slaves." The voice of the salvation system was helpless. "As long as humans are willing to be slaves, no matter what type of monsters they are, they can sign a contract with humans and make them obey themselves. Many times it is not difficult to make humans willing. There are many ways to coerce, bribe, and entice. Many people beg for a way to live in front of monsters, thinking that signing a contract can get benefits or save their lives. In fact, it is not the case. Once you become a slave of a monster, you will be gradually affected by the monster, and after a long time, you will be transformed into a real monster. His transformation has already begun, and it seems that he should be a slave for a long time."

Shamon: “Yeah, that’s how it is.”

Just then Ali rushed over again, but was knocked down by Shamon's punch again and stepped on.

The brown-skinned man squinted his eyes and looked at Ali's back. There was a strange force wrapped around there, stretching upwards and wrapping around Ali's neck. It looked like a strange collar, the kind used to leash a dog.

"Is it possible to reverse this transformation?" Shamon asked quietly.

Salvation System: "The medicine in the mall can reverse the body's state, but there is no other way. Host, do you want to save him? The reversal medicine can also be used to save people who fail to awaken. It is expensive. Instead of wasting it on such people, it is better to save it for people who can become heroes. And... the host can't afford it now."

Shamon whispered, "I'm just asking if it can be reversed, not if this person can be saved. So, what is his identity?"

"Ali, from Mississippi, 37 years old, unemployed. He has a long criminal record, including theft, robbery, smuggling, drug trafficking, rape, and..."

"That's enough."

Thor watched the strange man trying to get up again and again, but was knocked down by Shamon again and again. He leaned over and said in a trembling voice: "Why, why don't you solve it? That's weird, isn't it?"

Shamon stood up and turned to look at Thor, who shrank his head, but because of the inexplicable intimacy brought by the man in front of him, he mustered up his courage: "If we solve the weirdness, won't we be safe?"

The brown-skinned man's eyes slowly narrowed into a smile. "Yes, you are right. We need to solve the weirdness."

He leaned over and looked at Ali who was struggling and floundering on the ground. It was obvious that this man could no longer think rationally. He was struggling like a wild beast. Just as the system said, he was gradually turning into a monster.

It can be dangerous if not dealt with.

And living like this is worse than being dead, right?

so……

Shamon reached down and grabbed Ali's head, asking him to look up. His dark eyes met Ali's: "Go to sleep. Everything is fine in your dream."

Ali gradually stopped struggling and lay on the ground in a daze.

Shamon turned his back to Thor and the other man, grabbed each other's head, and his hand turned into mud, which entangled Ali's face. Half a minute later, Shamon stood up, while Ali lay on the ground motionless, very quiet, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, as if he had dreamed of something very wonderful.

"Has the weirdness been solved?" Thor asked cautiously. Because Shamon's body blocked most of it, they did not see the process.

"It's just solved," Shamon replied.

"This one? Do you think there's more in there?"

Shamon nodded as a matter of course: "This is an ancient tomb from thousands of years ago. It's normal for it to be a bit weird."

Thor: ...

What's normal?

The professor walked to Ali's body and was about to bend over to take a closer look. He had no other thoughts, just observing the "weirdness" up close for the first time, and was a little curious. He was stopped by Shamon, who stretched out his hand and drew a line in the air on Ali's neck, absorbing the strange power that no one could see.

This is the power emitted by the monster, in order to better control the man. It can be seen that this monster has a certain IQ and can think.

People with brains are always harder to deal with than those without brains.

Shamon looked at the professor and Thor. In any case, it would be better to send these two people out first. As long as the monster doesn't move, the range of its activities will always be limited.

"Let's go back the same way we came," said Shamon. "I'm strong enough, maybe I can move the stone slab. Then we can..."

He had just said half of his words when the entire tomb suddenly began to shake violently. The professor's body swayed twice and he almost fell. Fortunately, Thor behind him supported him.

"Is this an earthquake?" the professor asked in panic. Although the tremor was not particularly strong, they were in an underground tomb, a tomb from thousands of years ago. If an important passage inside the tomb collapsed partially, they would not be able to get out and would have to be buried with the dead like the corpses of the tomb robbers before.

Shamon's face was also gloomy, not because of the earthquake, but because the Invisible Son and the Curse Priest in the main tomb had found a powerful monster that had given birth to something strange.

The vibration just now was caused by something mysterious. In order to avoid being caught, it appeared in front of the two people, obviously intending to fight.

At this moment, there was no time to care about Thor and the professor. Shamon turned into black mud and drilled into the tomb passage, heading towards the main tomb chamber.

This scene frightened the professor and Thor. They had never seen Shamon's body turn into black mud. They were stunned for a moment, and then Thor reacted: "Awakener!"

I didn't think about that weird organization because, whether it was Kairet or Utor, although they would save people, their attitudes were not very good. Their words and actions showed that "I am different from you humans, you humans are too weak." However, Shamon didn't have that feeling. He looked very gentle... But behind this gentle smile, there was always a strange sense of disharmony.

"Professor, what should we do?" Thor asked, "The main tomb chamber must be ahead. Something must have happened there. Should we stay here, or... stay here?" Without Shamon, the two of them could not push away the stone slabs blocking the tomb passage, but Thor did not want to chase after them.

The professor only thought for a few seconds before making a decision: "You wait here, I'll go over!"

"Professor, what are you going to do?" Thor asked in surprise.

However, the professor did not answer him and turned into the tomb. Thor turned around twice and finally gritted his teeth and followed.

The camera in the live broadcast room also followed them forward.

[Why can't one of the shots be given to Shamon? Why does it have to follow the two archaeologists? 】

[Who knows? Anyway, it’s almost the same now. We can always see the main tomb chamber. ]

[It is possible to turn the whole person into black mud. This awakened person is really powerful. 】

[I want to know how he learned to control his abilities. Didn’t the people who were going to China to learn the secrets leave yet?]

【There are always geniuses in the world. Don’t use your own limitations to judge others. 】

【That’s right.】

On the other side, in the main tomb, the Invisible Son stared at the strangeness in front of him. Just as he was about to take action, the Salvation System spoke, conveying the content to the Invisible Son and the Curse Priest at the same time: "Hosts, two archaeologists are here with their live broadcast cameras. Do you want to close the split-screen live broadcast room?"

"No need, just keep it open," said the Invisible Son.

Salvation System: "The audience in the live broadcast room mistook Shamon for an awakened one."

Invisible Son: “Hmm?”

Although he did want to use Shamon as a hero card to make up for the regret of not having a hero card, ever since Shamon's clone used the black mud ability in the camera, he didn't think about hiding it for too long. After all, abilities are something that cannot be unused, so he didn't consider the problem of the live broadcast room when he summoned Shamon back.

But who would have thought that even after seeing Shamon turned into a pile of black mud, they still firmly believed that Shamon was a human being?

I can only say that the charm ability from the cocoon is really useful, even though it is a weakened version.

But if that's the case, his current image wouldn't be quite suitable.

"System, what is Bai Yixin doing?"

Savior System: "At this time, Bai Yixin and Si Zai finished their discussion and left the capital, heading to the mountains that will become a temple in the future."

"That is, no one else saw him."

As the thought in his mind was confirmed, the Invisible Son's body turned into black mud, and then he spun around and turned into Bai Yixin, who was wearing a suit and looked like a gentleman.

Curse Priest: "Should I leave?"

"No need." Bai Yixin said, "Bai Yixin and the Curse Priest are from the same organization anyway."

So it's not surprising that the two of them appear here together.

As for the reason for appearing here?

'Bai Yixin' looked at the pile of burial objects that looked like a small mountain, and of course he came here to 'purchase goods'.

After dealing with the dangerous and bizarre items, you don’t have to explain the source of the goods when you sell them.

Speaking of which, there is a possibility that ancient collections of many countries may give rise to dangerous and bizarre things. Let Bai Yixin go and look for them later.

Once you have more merchandise, you can discard all those cheap antiques you collected before the strange event occurred.

As a weird merchant, it's a bit cheap to sell so many cheap goods.
