Chapter 4 [Death of Professor Chen]
“What’s written on it?”
In the stone room, the fat man impatiently interrupted and asked.
Unless it says how to escape, he's not very interested.
To be honest, everyone has not eaten for almost two days since entering Jingjue Ancient City.
Not only was Yang An's eyes glowing green with hunger, but so was Fatty now.
Of course, if the stone box was filled with gold, silver and jewelry, the fat man would still be willing to grab a handful.
"This seems to be a prophecy, saying that after the prophet died, four people came to his tomb and opened the stone box"
Shirley Yang Youyou answered, Check carefully with a flashlight.
“Four people?”
The fat man opened his eyes wide, counted them, and said in surprise.
“But there are five of us in total. Did this prophet misunderstand one of us, or is it Professor Chen? If he is crazy, he will no longer be a human being? If you ask me, this prophet’s predictions are not very good. ”
Having said that.
“.”
In the silence, an indescribable and strange atmosphere began to permeate the stone chamber.
Hu Ba's face became solemn, he glanced around at the other three people gathered in the stone box, and spoke slowly.
"If this prophet is a liar, then this prophecy is not about the five of us, but if it is, then there is another possibility."
"What possibility?"
Commander Wang, Commander Wang, Lao Hu is so flattering, I can’t wait to ask.
“——That means there is one of us.”
Hu Bayi narrowed his eyes and spoke word by word.
“It’s not a human being!”
To be honest, in this gloomy environment, there is a black stone outside blocking the stone chamber.
When there is no escape.
Telling ghost stories again, they are very scary.
But everyone present was Professor Chen, who couldn't accept the death of his students one after another and finally went crazy.
Who is timid?
It goes without saying that Fatty is a demon king. He and Lao Hu had gone to Xing'an Mountains and had a fight with Zongzi from the Liao Kingdom long before they took on Yang An and Shirley Yang's mission.
As for Hu Bayi, he has experienced a lot of weird things. If he gets red-eyed, he will kill you with one shot regardless of whether you are a rice dumpling or something else.
Shirley Yang herself is very courageous, she is not afraid, she just scans the crowd like Hu Bayi, silent, seeming to observe who is not a human being.
Now only Yang An is left.
After connecting the memories of the Liaozhai world, he has long been tired of hearing all kinds of strange stories. Ghost, he has encountered them more than once or twice.
But!
Yang An felt that the prophet was right.
Original six people, Ye Yixin died as soon as they came in, but fortunately there was no pain.
It would be better to break your neck than die from a high fever due to lack of water.
The remaining five people, except him, are all the survivors in the original work.
The prophet’s prediction seems to be correct?
After all, Yang An is a time traveler. No matter how good the prophet is, he can at most predict the world line and predict whether he will come.
But after this, Yang An lived in Bengbu.
Damn it, but if there is no prediction of his arrival on the stone box, what should he do to make Hu Bayi confirm with Laojie and the others that he is a human being?
"Of course, this may be because there is something wrong with the prophecy. How long have we been together? It's been more than two months. Don't people still understand us?"
Hu Bayi Seeing that the atmosphere in the stone chamber was quiet, he coughed and changed the topic and said: "Don't think nonsense, everyone. People in ancient times were ignorant and backward. Prophecies, witchcraft and the like are all lies. Just read the prophecies on this stone box. Don’t take it seriously.”
Having said that, Lao Hu, please don’t reach out and touch the black donkey’s hoof hanging around your waist.
Yang An's sharp eyes curled his lips when he saw Hu Ba's small movement.
Hu Bayi's movements are hidden and the surroundings are dark, but who knows that he now has the physical fitness of three superimposed clones.
Able to see in the dark.
No matter what, Yang An urged his sister to continue talking and escape from this ghost place first.
Now the atmosphere in the stone room seems a little subtle. What was originally a whole when fleeing has a tendency to be split into two.
When it comes to trust, Shirley Yang definitely trusts her younger brother, Yang An, the most.
The relationship between Hu Bayi and Commander Wang is naturally not known, and there is a vague opposition between the two groups.
On the one hand, it was a prophecy, and on the other hand, Shirley Yang combined his observations along the way and felt that Hu Bayi and Wang Kaixuan might be tomb robbers.
But there is still Yang An.
He had saved Fatty and Lao Hu. Both of them owed their lives to him, so the feeling of antagonism was not too strong.
Yang An paid more attention to the prophet's predictions.
If the prophet did not predict his arrival, but he did come.
Will the subsequent sandstorm bury the ancient city of Jingjue and allow everyone to escape unexpectedly?
Shirley Yang asked everyone to watch together.
The first picture is the prophet, that is, the mummy of a child who predicted that a natural disaster would come.
The second and third pictures show that the prophet's prophecies have been fulfilled. A storm is coming, overturning the houses, and people are taking refuge.
The fourth picture shows that the prophet worshiped the two sages as his teachers.
The remaining ones are pretty much the same. They all tell the story of the prophet predicting danger and helping the tribesmen avoid it.
It’s time for the last one.
A strange feeling appeared. The image showed a tomb chamber. In addition to two bodies sitting cross-legged, there were four people, one of whom was opening a stone box.
Although Hu Bayi said he didn't believe it, his body was honest and silent.
Is it possible that one of them is really some kind of monster?
"Why are you thinking so much? Just open it and take a look." At this moment, Yang An said.
We can’t continue to speculate like this. Everyone is trapped here anyway, so just open the stone box and take a look.
"Yes, we have no way to go to heaven and no way to go to the earth. If the prophet predicts that we will appear, maybe there will be some revelation in this stone box that can allow us to escape. ”
But at this moment, Professor Chen, who had been acting crazy beside him, suddenly stood up and rushed toward the stone box.
Everyone was shocked.
No one dares to let a crazy person get close to this stone box that may contain precious revelations.
"Professor Chen!"
"Farewell"
But just when Hu Bayi and Fatty wanted to stop them.
Accident - it happened.
Professor Chen stepped on something, maybe a piece of gravel, and slipped directly, and then hit his head on the stone box.
Bang! ! !
In an instant the stone box was covered in blood.
As for Professor Chen, he hit his head, groaned, and passed out.
This scene happened too suddenly. When the stunned Hu Bayi reacted, he hurriedly helped Professor Chen who fell to the ground.
Test your breath and pulse.
Cold sweat broke out on Hu Bayi's forehead. He raised his head and looked at Shirley Yang and Yang An in a daze before saying something.
“Dead.”
Hearing this, Yang An felt an electric current rush through his body from his feet
making him take a step back subconsciously and asked in disbelief.
“Dead?!”
“Not Professor Chen.”
Shirley Yang and Professor Chen have the best relationship, they are like uncles and nephews, what will they hear? Hu Bayi felt sour in his heart when he said this.
He rushed over and hugged Professor Chen's lifeless body, crying again.
In a short period of time, all the students and professors on the archaeological team died unexpectedly.
And this is not the most shocking thing...
Yang An opened his mouth slightly, staring blankly at the stone box that had been knocked open by Professor Chen, and felt a chill in his heart.
said dryly.
"Then we are four people now."
