Chapter 293 The Secret Plot
This is a room made of black rocks, and the rooms are densely arranged like a grid.
The room is not empty. It is filled with funerary objects, stone chariots, and stone humans and beasts. They are placed in the room eerily. It seems that thousands of years have passed.
Ancient murals are engraved on the walls, and the black and red colors resemble coagulated and dried blood, which is particularly strange in the diffuse fog.
The mural depicts a group of humanoid creatures worshiping a strange image.
It was an egg-shaped body with countless sharp thorns protruding from the surface, and countless large and small eyes scattered among the thorns. The overall image was extremely abstract. If Lynch had not seen Glaki in the Lake, Lynch would I'm afraid it's hard to understand what that thing depicts.
Some were kneeling, some were making offerings, and some were pierced by spikes. Weird murals covered the walls of the room, making the atmosphere in the tomb even more gloomy.
Because the cost was too high, no, because in order to avoid revealing his identity, Lynch did not take out the torch of light, but held a lantern and shuttled between the dense stone statues. The shaking light and shadow made each stone statue look like a As if alive, he loomed beside the three ladies. Every time he turned around, he could see a group of black shadows or stone statues passing behind him. Every time he experienced it, Lynch's blood vessels contracted, and he felt that it was worse than any horror movie. All exciting.
“This is the entrance and exit of the tomb to the outside world, equivalent to the gate of the castle. These stone sculptures are the warriors guarding the castle. There should be similar structures on the other side of the cliff, and behind them..."
< br>
With that said, Dr. Jenna raised the lantern, and through the fog, a huge stone door lay in front of her.
The stone gate is flat and thick, as smooth as a mirror, six to seven meters high, and runs through the entire corridor from top to bottom. The huge size is condescending, visually as if a big mountain is about to press down, which makes Lin Qi, who is under the gate, feel sad A lingering sense of insignificance arose.
The stone gate is also covered with murals. In the painting, a group of people are kneeling on the ground, worshiping two huge human figures. They are two weird human figures, which are carved almost all over the entire stone gate. The humanoid bodies Fat and bloated, with thick hands and feet but no head. On the palms of his open hands are two big mouths full of teeth.
Two figures stood on the door, one on the left and one on the right, guarding the door like two guards.
"The Door of Sighs, behind which is the inner tomb."
Dr. Jenna stood in front of the door, with two huge human-shaped murals on the left and right overlooking her, with their teeth and claws open as if they were about to extend their hands. Just like catching her. But the doctor didn't care, and knocked on the stone door casually with his hiking pole:
"If my guess is correct, there should be a door on the opposite side. If both sides are opened at the same time, you can enter safely. But if only one door is opened, haha..."
Lin Qi frowned: "This is a tomb. , I’ve always been afraid of being opened, so why do I need to set up an opening method? It’s like I’m worried that people from outside won’t be able to get in?”
Dr. Jenna glanced at him strangely, which made Lin Qi feel worried. Shen, oh no, the conversation was over, I shouldn’t have said anything, so I subconsciously asked.
Fortunately, the doctor didn't think too much and explained patiently:
"The Yark Dynasty flourished in the Third Age and worshiped Grachi. In their mythology, after death, people will receive Of course, once Glaaki passes the trial, he can be reborn. In fact, he is only transformed into a servant by Glaaki, and he can only be transformed while he is alive. It is impossible to resurrect people, but the Yark people at the time were convinced. According to this legend, they built huge mausoleums for the rulers, hoping that the king could pass the trial, open the mausoleum and return again. "
So, I don't know that this must be because the intermediate education only teaches it to the third level. The Fourth Age, yes, it was not taught in class.
"Then how to open it?"
You don't know if you don't ask, and you still don't know if you ask. The method of opening each door is different. No one can know in advance before seeing the real thing.
"Judy, wake up and get ready to work."
The doctor wandered in front of the door for a few times, and then showed a look of confusion. At her call, Judy's eyes suddenly focused, and she shook her head while pressing her forehead.
No wonder Jack said before that this girl could stay normal when she was doing business. At this time, she just looked around and understood everything. She looked up at the weird human figure on the mural and frowned.
“Why do we even have such a thing?”
"Glaki has already appeared, so it's not surprising that these things appear together."
Judy glanced at the doctor doubtfully: "I always feel like your reaction seems to know something."
>Dr. Jenna just smiled noncommittally: "Get ready to open the door, no problem."
"Yeah."
Judy didn't go into details, and deliberately didn't have any communication with Lynch, so she raised her hand and pressed it against a hand raised in worship on the mural on the left door.
Ouch, what are you doing.
Lin Qi was startled. Can such a weird thing be touched directly? But judging from Dr. Jenna’s reaction, it seems that this is a basic operation. Because she also pressed it, the door on the right.
As the two ladies put their hands on the stone door, a faint smell of blood floated from their direction.
No, it should be said that it is coming from the direction of Shimen.
A strange aura, mixed with the smell of blood, began to spread around, and the fog became thicker and thicker. The surging fog was like countless twisted and wriggling shadows, pouring out from the strange murals.
"These things would be much easier if we forced the workers to do them." Jenna sighed, "Ms. Selene, I need your help below."
"Huh?"
"Please stare at the mural attentively. Soon you will see and hear something, which is the message to open the door. Remember what you heard, and then relay them to us. Don't worry, those messages do not need to be read intentionally. Remember, they will automatically reside in your consciousness for a period of time. "Interesting. According to her, ordinary people can execute it, and the risk will not be too high, and if there is a trap, Judy should have a hint, not to mention that the neighbors did not warn them.
It seems feasible.
Lin Qi nodded with a half-smile, and focused his attention on the mural. This is not the usual method of controlling inspiration, it is just simple concentration.
The fog is still so thick. Through the churning fog, the mural on the door seems to be changing bit by bit, becoming more and more real.
“Roar~~”
Suddenly, there was a loud cheer in his ears, and Lin Qi suddenly realized that he was in a tribe by the lake at some point.
Unlike the low mud houses in the memories of ancient flickers, nor the stone buildings in Zul'Grassar, the clusters of small wooden houses by the lake look exquisite and beautiful.
Countless people gathered around the lake. Several people in costumes and jewels were singing and dancing by the lake. As they sang and danced, a huge shadow gradually emerged from the bottom of the lake. The crowd immediately knelt down. Instead, they worshiped the shadows in the lake. Only a few people surrounded by them continued to sing and dance, with faces full of joy. They watched the monster move little by little to the lakeside, and then several spikes popped out, accurately stabbing the person in the costume. Chest.
"Oh oh oh~~~"
Cheers immediately echoed across the lakeside, and then everyone sang the same tune in unison.
“na~ka~ta~ka~la~……”
"na~ka~ta~ka~la~..."
With the neat chanting, a huge whirlpool appeared in the center of the lake. Several people in costumes immediately walked into the lake with dull expressions and submerged. In the whirlpool.
“na~ka~ta~ka~la~……”
The chanting became louder, and the monster in the center of the lake shook its body covered with eyes and spikes, and slowly returned to the center of the lake. However, just when it was about to sink to the bottom of the lake, it seemed to have discovered something, and all its eyes turned at the same time, They all pointed in the direction of Lin Qi, and they met Lin Qi countless times.
But just before their eyes met, Lin Qi was refreshed and suddenly woke up, realizing that he was still standing in front of the stone door, unconsciously singing the tune he just heard.
"Successful." Dr. Jenna smiled expectantly, "Judy, it depends on your listening interpretation."
"Shh."
Judy calmly retracted her pale hand, frowned and pondered while writing in her notebook. Soon, a piece of paper with several rows of strange characters was stuffed into Dr. Jenna's hand. in hands.
“Yes, that’s it.”
A smile emerged. Dr. Jenna pressed her finger on the stone door on the right and quickly copied the first symbol. As the symbol was completed, the weird humanoid body in the mural on the right suddenly lit up.
The doctor pressed the stone door and did not move. He just stared at the other side expectantly for a long time. After five or six minutes, the mural on the stone door on the left began to shine.
"It's done, they started." The doctor took a long breath and moved his fingers quickly, copying all the twisted symbols on the note onto the stone door, and the murals on both sides became more and more... It gets brighter and brighter, almost lighting up the entire door.
Even a layman like Lynch can see that this is reading information from both sides and opening the door at the same time. If it succeeds, the door will be opened, but what if it fails? Will the door lock?
"No, it will open, but it will lead to death. Failure to open will be attacked from within, which is very dangerous." Dr. Jenna explained, "But this time we succeeded."
I see, that’s interesting.
The corners of his mouth curled up behind his fan. In other words, six people are needed to open the door normally, so Howard and the others specially found six people.
Lynch knew that his appearance was an accident, and just after he appeared, Salin died from the beginning, and the number of people returned to six. There are no coincidences in the mysterious world. This must be someone's intention. Of.
But what’s the purpose?
Did the person who first took action to kill Salin know all about the inside story, or did he simply want to destroy the ceremony? If it's the former, fine, but if it's the latter, will he see the door open smoothly? What if he did something wrong when he opened the door, then...
Lin Qi analyzed quickly in his mind, but Dr. Jenna had done everything and was standing in front of the door expectantly.
As the brightness increased to the maximum, the two doors slowly opened inward as if being pushed by someone.
The inner analysis gave Lynch an ominous premonition, especially the scene of people waiting in front of the door to slowly open, which reminded him of the classic plays he had watched for the first time. As the elevator door opened, countless people The zombie's arm stretched out and pulled the character in front of the elevator door.
Not good.
With his heart tightening, Lin Qi rushed towards Dr. Jenna in front of the door without thinking too much.
At the same time, the door slowly opened, revealing a dark gap, and a cold breath of death was rushing out at high speed.
