bit stealing game

Chapter 130 Visitors in the Underworld

The black sun. This means that we are really in the underground world now.

I didn't dare to think about it, so I started running wildly. After running for an unknown amount of time, I stepped on something, tripped and fell to the ground, and the flashlight rolled far away. A sharp object was poked in front of me, and I almost missed it.

I need to open my eyes.

The flashlight in the distance cannot penetrate the darkness here, and can only illuminate a few inches of the surrounding area. I don't know if there are too many impurities in the darkness, or if it is too clear. Wherever the light reaches, there are numerous bones.

Ignoring my bruised hand, I jumped up immediately.

Picking up the flashlight, I tentatively walked towards the wall on one side. The corridor was not particularly wide, and the light illuminated a piece of blue in front of me before I hit the wet wall.

The world after death is full of water, so it is mostly painted blue. This place does have a dampness to it.

After taking a few steps with a flashlight, I saw blue reliefs like this everywhere. There were also some strange-looking fish painted on the murals. The body shape of those fish was indistinguishable, and they had deformed webs on their cheeks and at the base of their tails.

It's a bit like a lizard whose bones have been removed and its skin worn away.

They tried to drag their fat bodies out of the water to climb ashore, and in the next few murals they lay lazily on the land, but in the end they climbed back into the water for some reason. I stared at the murals and couldn't figure it out.

What forced these creatures that had evolved limbs to return to the water with anachronistic bodies.

Footsteps could be heard again in the distant darkness.

Maybe the stone placed on the stone steps just now was not the altar, but the lead coffin I woke up in. And this was probably a sacrificial site, and I was already a part of the sacrifice from the moment I stepped in.

Unless you leave here and become another existence. The question is, how to do it?

I looked towards the long and narrow road ahead covered with bones. Maybe the way was already laid out in front of me.

I didn't intend to be a sacrifice. I turned off the flashlight and walked among the bones of the whale. This was not a whale, but it was so big that I naturally thought it was a whale, but it should be a species I had never seen before.

Only the ocean can carry this kind of life and drag up their backbone. If they were on land, they would be crushed by themselves... But why did it appear in the underground temple of ancient Egypt? Where did the Egyptians find it and how did they drag it over?

?A crocodile over eight meters long, a snake dozens of meters long, and now this huge skeleton. Where and when did such a life grow?

The temperature dropped sharply, freezing me up. It was obviously the same as before, but this must be somewhere very underground.

The sun sinking into the water?

hot.

The hot moon.

I walked up the underwater steps.

Go? Why can I live in the water but still maintain human behavior?

I am like a fish out of water, swimming on the slippery road to the underworld.

I slid into a room.

There is also a black bull. There is a white triangle on the forehead, a vulture with spread wings on its back, a crescent moon on the right abdomen, a scarab image on its tongue, and a double layer of cow hair on its tail. This is Ptah.

symbol of god.

This god of creation once impregnated a cow in the form of celestial fire and reborn himself. In ancient Egyptian legends, the god Ptah also invented fire and was as revered as Prometheus in Greek mythology.

And what was burned by the holy fire was a sword.

I recognized it as a Khopesh sword, which is often used during sacrifices.

Blow away the dust

Wait, blow away the dust? It seems that this action is only done here. Is it possible that there is no dust in the front? Or has someone come in and just cleaned it?

There was the sound of a sharp weapon dragging the floor from behind. The sword was only fifty or sixty centimeters long, so how could it be dragged on the ground? Unless the person was crawling or a dwarf.

I could only run as hard as I could.

After crashing into the preparation room, I felt that there was a trap on the road, but those people deliberately wanted to separate us and defeat them one by one. I always have reliable people around me along the way, and now it is me.

We walked for so long without touching the room, so I had to go in and take a look even if it was dark inside.

To be on the safe side, I leaned close to the door and listened for a few minutes. Unsurprisingly, there was no sound at all. Not that I expected to encounter anything, but there was no life form in this place, it was just that kind of dead silence. But there was nothing stale about it.

The feeling. This incongruity makes me a little nervous.

In fact, I was already prepared to encounter a resurrected mummy, but no. There is nothing here that is alive or has ever been alive. Not even fruits, plants or animals, only sculptures (I hope they are not sealed in the sculptures)

Mummy, I’ll be scared to death)

So I had to rethink that this is not necessarily a tomb, maybe it is actually a temple.

But until we reach the end... I hope it's not the end in another sense... let's understand it this way.

I ducked into the room. The door was not stiff at all and opened easily. I closed the door and the room was bright. The strange thing is that when I looked outside, it was clearly dark inside. Maybe it was visual manipulation.

.I came in because I faintly smelled the smell of gunpowder, but heard no sound.

In such a closed environment, the sound of gunshots should travel farther than the smell.

Akhenaten. I saw Akhenaten standing at the end, and his body was really unforgettable.

-

Why did he push Tutankhamun away from the altar? He looked very painful after pushing it away

-

Akhenaten's tomb has never been discovered. Is he buried here?

No, there is no trace of him here. There are every pharaoh of the Eighteenth Dynasty since Thutmose III, but he is not there. And it was obviously Thutmose who founded it?

It is very strange that not a single pharaoh's name appears here. We only know this place based on the secret chamber of Thutmose III discovered by Hassan and others.

So this is not an achievement dedicated to God by Pharaoh?

Or does it only count as merit if you have accomplished something to be able to complete this place?

"Hello?" someone I didn't know well called tentatively, and then there were footsteps.

This room didn't feel dusty at all, but there was a faint smell of spices. I couldn't tell if it was the same thing as the one that made me faint, so I was a little worried. When I was almost scared to breathe due to the poisonous air,

I heard footsteps. Now any sound can make me panic. The footsteps are approaching, it's not my imagination. I was happy at first, someone came to pick me up, and then I became wary. Because the footsteps were very light, it didn't sound like I was in a hurry.

You want to find me, but you don't want to be found by me.

This is the sound of boots stepping on the ground. It should be the kind of soft and thick-soled military boots, and even if you try to lighten your steps, they still sound heavy. This is definitely not the people in our team, because these people walk without making any sound.

So if it was our people, why did they do this? Are they wary of life that might exist here besides us? I immediately felt a chill on my back.

If they were our people, they probably wouldn't be from my side if they behaved like this. But I really don't understand why they want to kill me now. They should have gone there earlier. Besides, it doesn't make any difference to keep me, so why bother.

Although everyone wears boots, the people in our team can make the thick soles make no sound.

The same can't be said for me and the men in black. Just now I heard the sound of my boots hitting the ground with fear, and now I hear the footsteps of the men in black like a death knell.

I have been on tenterhooks since I woke up from that lead coffin, but now I am naturally happy to see a living person.

Although I am not familiar with this person, I have the impression that he is the big guy Ian who was robbed by Li Yuan in the Temple of Omniscience.

Although most people are enemies rather than friends, after all, it is better to be people from the earth than pharaohs, Egyptian gods and the like.

I nervously shook the gloves A Tian gave me, trying to figure out how to speak without being accidentally hurt.

But then there was the sound of a gun being loaded.

This was no more reassuring than the footsteps on the altar just now.

But soon the worries grew.

If it was one of our own, why didn't you say anything? Are you on guard against something? Is there anyone else here besides us?

Or maybe the people who came are not my own people. They are the ones who wanted to kill me in the desert.

Even unknown people came.

Thinking this way, cold sweat suddenly fell down from my body.

This is not a civilized society anymore

It's really possible to kill someone.

And people are already dead

Otherwise I wouldn’t feel this intuitively

The place I'm standing now should be a preparation room. If the knowledge of ancient Egypt can still be used here, this is where the pharaohs and high priests bathed, changed clothes, put on perfume and make-up before sacrificing to the gods. I was watching on the table in the middle of the room.

I got some stone-like objects, and when I pinched them, my fingers were stained with ink. They should be lead blocks for makeup. Although it is a bit too big as a preparation room, if I put it in the Karnak Temple, I wish it could be half a multi-column hall.

It's so big, but the roof is the same as the corridor outside, which is less than three meters. Of course, considering the entire temple, it's pretty good. There are murals on all sides that I haven't seen before. I didn't dare to turn on the flashlight, I just didn't know.

Where did the light come from? I looked closer. The function of this preparation room was painted on the mural. It seemed that the people here were going to a larger space below after finishing preparations, and there was a long, long passage behind this preparation room.

Wait, is that a passage? It feels like the gate of hell. It is surrounded by darkness and there is only a road in the middle. I have never seen such an empty scene in ancient Egyptian murals.

Unfortunately, the time doesn't allow me to think about it carefully now. I hid in the protruding part of the wall on the right, which should have been a closet-like place for visiting sacrifices or other things. The person who came was one of the men in black. Sure enough, it was an internal strife.

But it would be nice to know that the opponent is a human. If Anubis really appeared, I would definitely lose the desire to fight. The psychological impact caused by the collapse of the cognitive world is much more terrifying than the physical one. I have seen it before.

I saw that he had his hand on the holster, and he probably didn't want to shoot rashly. I took a piece of lead I picked up when I first entered the door, and planned to lure him in, so that when he passed me, I would still have a chance to fight.

Opportunity. Otherwise, if I were to be shot, I would probably have to leave it here. I can't get out of range even if I run now.

279 would look for me. If he was in a hurry, he would not be so cautious. And I also heard the sound of loading the gun.

I remembered that Shi Lin killed a person who wanted to kill me, and he lost his vest because of it.

If someone wanted to kill me and they failed once, would they try again this time? Do I dare to bet?

I clenched the lead weight tightly and clenched my fists. The gloves A Tian gave me

There was a burning smell coming from the gloves, so I immediately took them off and threw them away.

There is a stone and extra lead weight in my trouser pocket

I couldn't take any chances at this time, I couldn't hope that he was here to help me, so I had to take action first. Seeing the moment when he looked to the other side, I threw the piece of lead close to the ground and further inside. As expected, he was close to him.

I walked toward the wall, he asked Wang? At the same time, he took the gun in his hand. He closed his eyes, and his heartbeat was definitely at a high-risk frequency.

I know it's all for nothing if I fight.

Just pretend to be happy and say

Great, we are one of our own, etc.

-

I'm betting that he will pretend to be friendly for a while and shock him when he comes into contact with me.

wow wow wow wow, easy.

I put my hands on my chest

He said it's you, why are you here?

I said luckily it was you. I thought you were a walking mummy.

He laughed and I asked him why are you here?

He wants to pull me away

I gave him my hand

I asked him why are you here?

He stopped pretending and asked me what I meant

I said it's a good thing you're not a mummy

Just shocked him

I thought I was easy to bully. I thought that without Li Yuan, I would be out of control. But this also gave me a chance.

Maybe it’s because Li Yuan and the others helped me establish the character of a useless dim sum so successfully that many people think that I am indeed a useless dim sum.

Now it seems that I really am.

But they overlooked one thing. I can live for so long as a useless snack without being bitten into pieces, so I still have something to offer.

My voice was trembling, and there were several grammatical errors. I couldn't even form a sentence.

Fortunately, he understood and extended a hand to me.

I didn't know if he had released the trigger, and I didn't dare to look. I could only hold his hand and use his strength to get up.

At the same time, he clenched his fist hard.

I squatted in that corner and shivered.

he pulls me

I don't need to take the lead, so this is a non-aggressive pose.

As soon as he touched my right hand, he immediately pulled it away

I hold him down with my left hand

In the end, he still removed my right hand

He is worthy of being someone who has rolled on the edge of a knife.

If only Li Yuan and the others hadn't helped me get a useless character and A Tian's gloves would be useful.

I will definitely explain it today

I didn't dare to stay longer and take his pistol and run away.

I checked it and couldn't tell what kind of pistol it was, but I could tell that the safety was on. This guy really might have killed me just now. I won't take the safety back, and I won't

After dismantling the bullet, I just dare to hold it awkwardly and run away. After all, I didn't learn to shoot in Hawaii.

The desire to survive makes me feel no self-blame, transcends fear, transcends guilt, and transcends any emotion.

I don't know if that person wanted to hurt me, but I don't regret attacking first.

It's too quiet around here.

Although I know that I should be alert to the movements around me, there are really many things I don’t understand. I can’t help but think about them.

But I was afraid, so I still focused on what was going on around me.

Running alone in Duatri consumes more energy.

I'm the kind of person who won't put my hands and feet outside the bed when I sleep. Now this situation is really uncomfortable.

Man still retains animal nature

My whole body feels like I shouldn’t go forward

But there is definitely a dead end behind. I can only bite the bullet, resist my instinct, and run forward tremblingly.

There was a shadow. When I looked up, I saw a protruding thing that I couldn't see clearly.

But I feel watched.

Later it was discovered that it was a statue of Beast.

Why is it being repaired there?

The problem is, I don't have much time to spend here. If the night is over and the moonlight disappears, then I won't be trapped here. And the more I think about it, the more something is wrong. It doesn't feel like I'm left behind, but that I'm being left behind.

Abandoned. Although I don’t understand what happened specifically, but if I stay here, if someone deliberately wants me to leave the team, the person who comes is not one of my own. Or, what if there are still people here?

What else exists? I said, don’t scare yourself, and became nervous. However, the belief of socialist atheists is not stable in this place that science cannot explain.

And Li Yuan and the others don’t know what happened to them, so I always feel like I’m the missing link in the puzzle.

Weird perfume bottle

I knew it was not fake, because I really smelled the fragrance of flowers. This was the first living thing that appeared in this strange temple.

Wait, has my sense of smell returned?

Later I discovered that it was still a fake flower. A lotus carved from stone.

There is actually aromatherapy

The lotus that cannot bloom will exhale smoke

But where does the aroma come from?

I fell headfirst to the ground.

Just now I didn't dare to open it easily, for fear that others would see that I was a bad person. Now I don't care about so many things. At least the light can bring some sense of security here.

I was scared to death, and my heartbeat was almost louder than the sound of thick-soled boots hitting the floor. I had to take care of everything, but I had no time to pay attention to the surrounding situation.

Senses wax and wane

If you can't see clearly, you can hear it more clearly.

Pigments contain mercury

I didn't dare to raise my head and kept running forward with all my strength. Our ancestors left us with fear and pain, but now we have no choice but to ignore the old man's words.

The darkness opens wide.

In the Book of the Afterlife (Amduat), at the eleventh and twelfth hours of the night's voyage of the sun god, the gods would pass through the body of a snake called the "Surrounder", and the gods would enter through the tail of the snake.

It came out of the snake's mouth and then completed the night voyage. Although there is no mention of snakes swallowing the gods, this is obviously the rebirth process of the gods. The "surrounders" of the divine snakes provide the gods with a space for regeneration. This is explained from another perspective.

In the myth, the cruel and violent act of devouring the gods is not necessary (but full of drama).
