Mystery: The arrival of the new Black Emperor

There were only two mercenary members left beside Hobert. They were both Sequence 9, and they were Sequence 9 who were not good at fighting.

The two men knew that it would be difficult for them to catch the hare and that it might become a burden, so they simply did not pursue it.

The remaining twenty or so people were all ordinary people hired by Jacob, and a dozen people were replacing the items in the last room under the command of two mercenary members.

There were still a few people lying on the ground, ordinary people who had just looked at each other with Rabbit, and no one had time to care about them now.

While the two mercenary members were directing the crowd, they were still discussing the magic of the sealed object. Of course, because there were ordinary people here, they would not use words like "sealed object" but only "that thing." Such a phrase instead.

However, Hobert felt that such a cover-up was meaningless. If the memories of these ordinary people were not cleared, once the excavation here was over, many people would know from the few words of these hired workers that there was a high-level sealed artifact here.

Especially when Jacob brought a large number of antiques to sell in Backlund, people would immediately know that a huge treasure was buried here.

There will even be some people who are unwilling to give up. After Jacob's excavation is over and Christine's protection disappears, they come here to explore and see if there are any treasures that Jacob and the others have not noticed.

Just as he was thinking of this, Hobert heard the sound of a stone door opening behind him. He was a little surprised that there was no stone door behind him!

Just when he was about to turn around to check, his spirituality stopped him:

Can not look!

You will die if you look at it!

Immediately afterwards, a huge sense of pressure and threat swept through his body, making Hobert think: "Close your eyes!"

But it was too late. Hobert saw the cold, clear light flowing from his back. The two mercenary team members on the opposite side opened their eyes wide and fell to the ground before they had time to react.

Hobert didn't have time to look at the others, so he quickly closed his eyes and hid aside according to the position in his memory.

Because he walked too fast, he bumped into the wall twice and tore his clothes, but now was not the time to worry about that. The constant sound of falling to the ground around him seemed to remind him that the danger was still approaching.

There were also a few ordinary people who closed their eyes under Hobert's reminder: "What's wrong? What's wrong?"

"Why do the people around me suddenly lose their breath?"

Hobert shouted: "Close your eyes and run!"

Boom~

Boom~

Hobert heard slow and dull footsteps coming from behind.

He held on to the wall and quickened his pace, only to hear a voice from behind: "Who? Who is there?"

"Who? Who is next to me? Why are you so hairy? Ah~"

A scream made Hobert's heart tremble.

Other voices behind him hit Hobert's heartstrings continuously: "Help! That guy, that guy is right behind me!"

"He's coming to get me, he's coming to get me!"

Then there were several sounds of falling to the ground, and the sounds behind became less and less.

Extreme fear surrounded Hobert's heart. Fortunately, after "Savage", Hobert's ability to resist mental attacks began to increase. Although his hands and legs were shaking badly, he still gritted his teeth and moved forward.

In the last scream, there was no sound behind, and only the dull sound of "dong~dong~" was left.

But the footsteps were very slow, as if the legs were inconvenient.

Hobert, who was leaving quickly, finally found a corner. When he entered another passage, the footsteps became much quieter.

Just as Hobert took a breath, he suddenly heard the sound of "dong~dong~" footsteps becoming clearer again, and they were actually right in front of him!

He was horrified. The other party had the ability to "teleport"?

Or is this an illusion? Are you trying to trick yourself into opening your eyes?

Recalling Rex's previous reminder, Hobert simply used the "Psychological Spoon" to give himself a psychological hint: he could only open his eyes after he was out of danger.

Then there is the question of where to go, should we continue forward or turn around?

It stands to reason that the dull footsteps were right in front, and he should turn around immediately, but who knows if it could be his own imagination?

What if the other party’s purpose is to make you turn around?

The sound of "dong~dong~" is getting closer and closer.

Hobert's breathing also became serious. He simply hid on the side of the underground corridor. If the opponent came close and attacked him, it would not be too late to react immediately.

"Dong~"

Just when Hobert had the idea of ​​stopping with silence, the voice suddenly stopped not far in front of him.

Hobert's spirit could be felt, and it lay motionless there.

"Holy shit!" Hobert's heart was filled with national quintessence: What on earth is this sealed object? You don’t play tricks on people like that!

After a strange confrontation like this for several seconds, Hobert felt a huge sense of oppression from his spiritual body: He couldn't continue like this, his spiritual body would not be able to support it!

Hobert's mind changed rapidly. After such a long confrontation, the sealed object did not launch an attack on him, which showed that the other party did not have many characteristics of being alive.

Hobert realized that those people shouting "He's coming to get me" before were probably delusions caused by extreme fear.

Keep going!

Hobert made up his mind and continued to move forward, touching the stone wall.

The average person may choose to turn around, but the risk of turning around is actually as great as going forward. If you go forward, there are only two results: passing by the other person; or bumping into the other person.

If you go backwards, you may be able to escape, but you are more likely to fall into a new and unknown predicament.

So Hobert chooses to move forward, at least the result is known, and in the extraordinary world, the unknown often represents danger.

He could feel that there was a powerful presence in front of him, and he was always watching him.

Hobert laughed suddenly, emboldened himself to take one step, two steps, and passed the powerful existence without any risk, and the disturbing feeling of gaze disappeared.

Hobert let out a sigh of relief. Sure enough, as long as he closed his eyes tightly, the opponent would not attack him.

While thinking about Hobert, he turned another corner and speeded up his pace unconsciously.

After walking a few steps, Hobert tripped over something on the ground: It was strange, there was nothing in the corridor when he came!

He bent down and touched it!

Sweat immediately!

There is a skeleton at your feet!

When we arrived, there were no skeletons in the corridor at all!

Hobert thought belatedly that he had just turned a corner when passing the sealed object, how could he turn again so quickly?

There is only one answer, and that is that Hobert entered an open stone door.

The only open stone door now may be the room where the sealed artifact is located.

Thinking of this, Hobert felt his heels weaken.

But misfortune never comes singly. At this time, Hobert's spirituality once again felt the gaze and pressure from behind. The sealed object was turning around and returning to this stone chamber.

Go now!

Thinking of this, Hobert got up and walked around, but as soon as he stepped out, he tripped again on something hard and fell forward.

However, as a Sequence 7, Hobert turned around and stood up immediately without falling.

But because of this turn, his hand left the wall, causing him to completely lose his sense of direction.

Quickly walking to the right and looking for the wall again, Hobert suddenly touched a layer of hard feathers.
