Chapter 154 Chapter 154
"The... the evil envoy?" Thor looked at Shamon, not yet understanding what had happened before.
Unfortunately, now is not the time to explain. The sand that Qiyi had manipulated before was to turn the stones on the top of the tomb into sand. Because there was a gap inside the upper building, the whole structure tilted a little. The structure of the tomb became very unstable and was about to collapse.
"Go!"
Shamon saw the stone slab above his head begin to deform, and he immediately picked up Thor with one hand, and the other hand turned into black mud and wrapped around the professor's waist, intending to take him out.
"Those cultural relics!" the professor exclaimed.
Thor really cried: "Professor! If we are buried, you will never have to leave them."
There was a loud rumbling sound overhead, probably because part of the tomb passage above had begun to collapse.
"Young man, put me down." The professor patted Shamon's arm and said quickly, "I'm over fifty years old. It's not worth your effort. Take Thor out."
Thor: "Professor, your daughter is still out there. She will be very sad."
"Say sorry to her for me!"
“Eh?”
[Oh my god, is this ancient tomb going to collapse? ]
【It’s over. We’ll all be buried.】
【Quick, rescue! 】
[How to save them? How many meters underground do you think this place is? At least 20 to 30 meters underground.]
[I watched the news on the official TV station in Michigan, which had a live broadcast right above the ancient tomb. My god, the ground collapsed.]
[Right now, efforts are being made to carry out rescue measures outside, but... to be honest, there is nothing that can be done in this situation. ]
[The other split screen of the weird live broadcast went black! I saw that the tomb passage where those tomb robbers were located collapsed. Are they all finished? ]
[Wait, it seems not. The screen went black just now because the grave robbers' lights were broken. Now one of them turned on the light of his mobile phone, and I saw two people. One of them had his leg crushed under the stone. I don't know what happened to the other two.]
【I have no sympathy for criminals.】
【It’s a life after all. 】
[Is there anyone who cares more about the professor's daughter than I do? ]
[I know this Professor James, he is an archaeology fanatic. Because of his excessive obsession with historical relics, he divorced his wife 20 years ago, and later the judge awarded his daughter to his ex-wife. I have seen his daughter, she is very beautiful.]
【This kind of man’s wife only has work. 】
Shamon said nothing. He held Thor with his left arm, carried the professor on his right shoulder, and rushed out of the tomb.
In the main tomb chamber, Bai Yixin and the curse priest were not in a hurry. One was still selecting burial objects with his head down, while the other was looking around.
[They are really not in a hurry. ]
[They are all weird, they won’t die. ]
[In fact, Shamon didn't need to run. With his ability, he should be able to squeeze out of the gap and survive, but he did it to save these two people. ]
[Sure enough, Shamon is a good person. Does anyone know him? Which country is he from? 】
【I don’t know him.】
【I haven’t seen it.】
Half a minute later, Shamon led the two men back to the main tomb chamber.
"Huh? You're not leaving?" Bai Yixin asked with a smile.
Shamon put Thor and the professor down. Thor knelt on the ground and began to cry. The professor sighed and said, "The stone pressing on the gate has fallen down, completely blocking the exit of the tomb."
They should have thought of it earlier. In fact, when the tomb began to tilt, several people heard a very dull sound of a heavy object falling to the ground. However, they did not think much about it at that time and only stared at the burial figurines.
Now that I think about it, it must have been that huge rock.
This was the last resort of the ancient Mixi Kingdom to prevent tomb robbery. No matter whether the tomb robber was outside or inside the door, the falling boulder would completely block the passage. Those who wanted to come in could not come in, and those who wanted to go out could not go out, and the person who opened the door would become a cake under the stone.
"I don't want to die yet." Thor cried pitifully.
"Noisy." The Curse Priest stepped forward and smacked Thor on the top of his head with the end of his staff. "You signed a contract with Weird. It will protect you in such a small matter."
Thor's crying stopped and he looked up and stared at the curse priest.
The professor laughed a few times: "That's not bad. It seems that I am the only one who will die here."
Then he looked at Bai Yixin and the Curse Priest: "You are also awakened ones, right? You don't seem to be worried about the current situation."
[No, those two are weird.]
[No, doesn’t this professor care about news on the Internet? ]
[It seems that he doesn’t care. ]
Thor certainly knew the truth. He wanted to tell the professor, but his lips moved and he didn't know where to start.
Bai Yixin: "Don't you want us to save you? Maybe we can help you?"
The professor waved his hands and said nothing. Instead, he walked to the hill of funerary objects and continued to study. He took out a pen and a small notebook, and analyzed the records while reading. Then he said, "This is the only note of mine that is of some value."
The atmosphere became depressing.
"Unlock the second ability - time manipulation."
"Time manipulation - Time is the realm of God. You, who have gained the favor of God, have only slightly touched the edge of this realm. You can rewind or stop time. You can use it on any object, life, or even yourself. But be careful not to overuse it, because you are not a god yet, and your ability is limited."
The system prompt sounded. This was the second skill awakened by the Curse Priest, and it came just in time.
"I'm leaving." The Curse Priest said to Bai Yixin.
Bai Yixin, who also heard the system notification sound, immediately made a reluctant expression: "Hey? But the goods haven't been delivered yet?"
"The magic power of the things in the tomb outside is very weak. All the valuable things are here." The curse priest looked at the burial objects that had not been selected yet. "You will be able to deal with them soon."
The stone slab above his head cracked violently, and one of the pieces was about to fall off.
"Okay." Bai Yixin shrugged and waved his hand, "See you next time~~"
The curse priest nodded, and the stone slab of the tomb fell down at this moment, right on top of Shamon's head, along with broken stones. When the stone slab was about to fall down with a loud noise, the curse priest knocked the ground with his staff, and a crisp sound was heard, and suddenly the fallen stone slab or stones were suspended in the air.
【ah--】
[It’s over, it’s over, it’s over——]
[It’s not over yet, look! They’ve all stopped! ]
The scepter struck the ground once again, and the fallen slabs and stones returned to the top of the head as if the reverse button had been pressed, and the tilted tomb chamber also became straight. Everything returned to the state before the battle with the strange.
The ability only works on ancient tombs, so Thor's strange contract with the tomb figurines was not reversed.
Theoretically, it is possible to rewind, but as mentioned in the skill details, the Curse Priest's ability to rewind is limited. Rewinding the state of a broken stone and rewinding the life of a newly dead person, even if both are ten minutes, consume different amounts of time.
In the eyes of the Curse Priest, a mere weird contract was not worth his effort.
After doing all this, the Curse Priest teleported away.
'Bai Yixin' rested his hand on his chin as he looked at the pile of funerary objects in front of him, stretched his back and began to load the goods. The strange live broadcast was still going on, and everyone watched as 'Bai Yixin' took the things in his hands, and then the items disappeared out of thin air.
Someone in the comment section was about to type and talk about the ability of 'space', when the weird live broadcast room suddenly snapped shut.
But soon, today's weird live broadcast was recorded and edited into a short video, which was posted on major online platforms. Now many communication platforms have a special weird live broadcast area to discuss various things seen in the live broadcast and analyze the weird organizations. Today's video was once again analyzed frame by frame, and people speculated about the relationship between Bai Yixin and the Curse Priest in the weird organization.
In addition, after online discussions, it was discovered that no one knew Shamon. No one knew which country he was from or where he came from. However, Shamon seemed to be so familiar with strange things, and gradually some people speculated that he might also be strange and a member of that organization. However, not many people believed this speculation. Everyone who saw Shamon's smile in the live broadcast would intuitively feel that he was a good person. Yes, a good "person" who could be trusted, not like Bai Yixin, who seemed to be easy to get along with on the surface, but was actually wary of foreigners.
"Thirteen items were collected." Bai Yixin put his finger on his chin, "It's less than expected."
The salvation system quietly said in Bai Yixin's mind: "There are already a lot of them. These are the monsters that are judged to be 'having great monster power and are somewhat dangerous'. There are dozens of monsters that have weak monster power but are not dangerous. This place is simply a treasure trove of monsters."
Bai Yixin: Indeed.
"What on earth is..." the professor spoke out, and as the scene around him began to recede, his face was filled with shock as if his worldview had been shattered. This scene was even more shocking than seeing something strange flying.
After all, flying is something that can be done by making a small device. But turning back time is something that scientists have not yet been able to explore.
Bai Yixin had no intention of explaining this, and said to the professor and Thor, "Tell the humans outside that I have taken the most valuable things. The rest are useless, and there are some slightly weird but very poor things. Although the weirdness is very weak, it is still a weird thing. I suggest you distinguish them carefully and keep them. Using them to smash weird things will also cause harm."
The professor came to his senses, and he went over Thor's information about the weird things in his mind, calmed down, and asked, "How do you distinguish between ordinary objects and weird things?"
Bai Yixin pointed at Thor's pocket and said, "Aren't you guys weird? Order it to come out and take a beating. It will hurt."
The funerary figurine in Thor's pocket trembled.
"Don't worry, you can use a little more force, I can't kill you." 'Bai Yixin' said this and disappeared.
The professor looked at Thor in confusion. Thor was sitting on the ground, still with a look of relief on his face as if he had survived the disaster.
His students were having difficulty communicating, so the professor had no choice but to look at Shamon again. This man seemed to know something about weirdness, but when he turned around, Shamon was nowhere to be seen.
In the main tomb chamber, there were only him and Thor.
The professor took a deep breath and heard shouting from above his head. The voice came into the professor's ears through the long and open tomb passage. The archaeological professionals above led the rescue team into the ancient tomb and began the search and rescue operation.
That evening, news from all over the world reported on this incident. The discovery of a new complete ancient tomb, the emergence of a large number of strange creatures, the purchase method of the strange merchant Bai Yixin, the birth of the first strange messenger, etc. were all hot topics, dominating the top ten hot searches.
And no one cared about the death of the grave robber Ali who was taken away by an ambulance with a broken leg.
