bit stealing game

Chapter 121 The Book of the Afterlife
Is Kawaii-san a dead man?

Everyone was shocked by Joshua's words.How is it possible, Kawaii Isang Mingming has been moving with us, eating and living with us, and even raised a cat...
Arno looked down at the tempura in his arms in disbelief.

The fat cat was washing its pie face with its short paws, and it was not in a hurry to be watched by others. It slowly stepped on Arno's chest and stretched.The people around me consciously moved away from them, and I forcibly stopped my intention to retreat against Yano's hurt gaze.

"Please make it clear, what do you mean that the Japanese is dead?" the British bald man asked.

Joshua didn't answer, and sat slumped against the wall.

Jason's eyes froze, and he walked over to pick up his clothes with an unfriendly expression: "Do they know what the Japanese have problems? Don't pretend to be dead, tell me everything you know!"

This is the underworld of ancient Egypt, if Li Yuan and the others are now walking with a "dead man".
"Hey!"

Just as our attention was focused on Joshua, Arno suddenly called out.It turned out that Tempura jumped from his arms and ran along the corridor to the direction pointed by the wings of Goddess Isis.

Yano raised his leg and chased after him. Ali was one step ahead of him, and Jason also dropped Joshua.But Chang Xiao stopped them.

"Get out of the way, Hassan and the others may be over there!" Ali said excitedly.Jason and the others were also quite dissatisfied.

Tempura meowed at us, as if urging us to follow, and then ran away without looking back.

Xia Shangzhou looked at the foreigners who were talking a lot, and calmly touched a cloth pocket at her waist.

Chang Xiao didn't take those doubts seriously. "If that road will get you to them, why didn't they follow the cat?"

The noise died down.

Chang Xiao continued: "No matter who wrote the note, it has already caused us to deviate from the original plan. And the fact that the cat can find us can only show that someone hopes it can find it. Otherwise, even if it can go, people can't go. It is impossible to know where we should be waiting for us.”

When everyone heard it, it was indeed such a rationale, and they muttered in their mouths:

"Then what do you say now?"

"That's right, you can't continue to wait here!"

"Jap son of a bitch and a damn cat."

After muttering for a while, everyone looked at the person who remained calm in the strange situation and could still think rationally.

"Wait." After Chang Xiao finished speaking, he leaned against the wall and closed his eyes to rest.

"Wait?" Everyone looked at each other.

Ali stomped his feet angrily, after all, he didn't go after Tempura.Jason's green eyes were cloudy, but he didn't bother anymore.

I turned my gaze from where Tempura ran away to the surrounding murals.Sure enough, some more changes have taken place during this time, but I still haven't been able to see the information contained in it.Although asking about the wall of ancient Egypt may not get an answer, there is another one who is playing charades.

Chang Xiao was always there, and Joshua didn't respond when he told the bizarre story, as if he was being penetrated by the drama.At this time, even after learning that the teammate who is traveling with him is a "dead man", he can still deal with it calmly.If 279 is a one-page book, it is a silent and unpopular footnote, which is almost ignored by readers like me who are careless.

But this time there are some things that Chang Xiao must make clear.I'm still stuck with the owl metaphor he made earlier.At that time, I thought he was referring to the building Shiqi, but that was not the case.Now when I think about coming to the building, Qi's behavior is also very suspicious. If he hadn't delivered it to the door himself, I really wouldn't doubt him.Lou Shiqi doesn't know what's going on now, I can't catch him, but Chang Xiao has to explain.

"You don't seem to be surprised by any of this."

I stood in front of Chang Xiao reluctantly.He rolled his eyelids, and then reluctantly opened his mouth: "For this game, half-knowledge will only lead to misjudgment."

"What does it mean?"

I frown.Every time I smile and open my mouth, it always subverts my perception of the current situation.This time is no exception.

"'See Duat'?" Chang smiled. "Who told you that this is the 'Duat' of ancient Egypt?"

"But it's written in the Book of the Dead"

"Are 'Atlantis' and 'Epic of Gilgamesh' written in the Book of the Dead? Do you think this is just ancient Egypt, or is this common sense?"

Speaking of Atlantis, those things gave me the feeling of deja vu.When I was freezing to death in the desert, I felt like I was sinking into the quicksand and being dragged into the deep sea. It seemed that a creature wanted to say something to me.And just now, in the tunnel surrounded by strange creatures, it seems that the people of "Atlantis" have something to tell me.

This feeling made me irritated and aroused an unknown fire.

"You mean, we have all misunderstood the 'Oracle' handed down by Hassan?"

Egypt is a memory that is constantly being revisited.Egyptian history, like all history, is made of memory.

People of different ages have different imaginations about ancient Egypt, and they all use their own standpoints to explain history.The Old Testament of the Bible has a review of Egypt.In this memory, Egypt's persecution of the Israelites is wrong in a not-so-good image.But if you switch to the Egyptian perspective, it is a man named Moses who was ungrateful and brought an unwarranted disaster to Egypt.

As for the development and transformation of god worship, countless versions have been produced over thousands of years.At first I thought Hassan and Laila were the priests of the sun god, but now it seems that they are actually the god Puta.There's always something I don't understand.In fact, Egypt and all of this don't match our perception of Egypt, and it's possible that we don't really know what happened in Egypt at all.

Hearing me mention the "Oracle", Chang Xiao didn't even bother to talk about it.

"If common sense doesn't work, what should we do now?" Yano broke the stiff atmosphere.

"Then don't let the unknown control you."

"Stop playing charades with me!" I suppressed the unreasonable panic and anger, "Tell me what you know first! Before you come, tell me not to just look at the things in front of you and be led away by others. What exactly are you trying to say?"

If we are going to go on, we cannot divide the known information.I can no longer be played for a fool.

Chang Xiao looked at me for the first time.He stared at me briefly but seriously, even showing a trace of pity in his expression.

"You shouldn't have come, there's nothing you want here."

I froze in place.

There are many people who advised me not to come, but now I really have to face up to a reality that I have been ignoring.Chang Xiao reminded me the day Li Yuan and I crawled out of the sea of ​​sand. At that time, he used the bone of a flying bird to make me think that what I ate was an owl.According to the ancient Egyptians' understanding of death, after Senet should be Duat, which is the way for the dead to lead to the underworld.But if you don't apply the ancient Egyptian system, then this is more like a trap.Now I see what he means.Biased information cannot spell out the complete truth, and some can only be one-sided, preconceived, and false impressions that interfere with thinking.

But if this is a game, then who has the opportunity to arrange it?Is it Hassan and Laila, the ancient Egyptian priests, or Boothwell who has a lot of entanglements with [Maya] and [Atlantis], or Bruce who mysteriously disappeared?

Maybe I have realized that what I have to face this time is not ancient Egypt, but I have been unwilling to admit it.

But should I really not come?

I lightly brushed the spread wings of Goddess Isis on the stone wall, and suddenly froze in place.

"Yu, what's the matter?" Yanuo asked quickly when he saw my expression change.

"Wait a moment."

My hand was still pressing on the mural, and I felt something rub against my palm again while holding my breath.Certainly not an illusion.This was scarier than getting an electric shock, so I quickly withdrew my hand.

A cold "Eye of Horus" appeared on that wall, and I pressed on this eye.The Eye of Horus also appeared on the papyrus that originally had the "Pathfinder" painted on it.

No one noticed when that shadowy eye began to stare at us.What's even more incredible is that it blinked under the gaze of everyone.

"Fuck, what the hell is this?" Baldhead raised his hand and was about to throw a shuttle towards the wall.

Arno and Ali jumped at him at the same time.

"Are you crazy? It's so narrow here, bullets will hit people when they bounce back!" Yano pressed the man's hand.

Ali even directly blocked the muzzle of the gun, as if protecting the mural.

During the dispute, there was a sudden gunshot, and several bullets went towards the Eye of Horus.Ali lunged at the mural, and Arno stood in front of me.However, the bullets did not bounce back as he thought, and all of them were swallowed by the Eye of Horus.

"No!"

Ali roared and knelt down in front of the mural.

A pair of green eyes emerged from behind the muzzle of the gun, and Jason stared intently at the unscathed mural.I was still careless, I didn't expect this minor to make a rash move.

"what happened?"

Amidst our uncertainty, the mural with the Eye of Horus slowly dissolved into a Benu bird, and then struggled to form the right eye of the sky god.

Everyone was bewildered by the sudden situation.The Book of the Dead actually changed because of our actions?

I looked at the Eye of Horus, which was still blinking like weeping blood, and walked over in disbelief.Ali's reaction, missing bullets, and rewritten inscriptions
"Yu, what's wrong?" Yano asked worriedly.

I took a deep breath and touched the mural with trembling hands.Sure enough, this wall is "live".

"This is not the Book of the Dead, but the Book of the Afterlife"
