Chapter 300: Ghosts of the Past (Part 1)
"Isn't this...n't a scarab?"
An Ling sat on the table with his feet off the ground, looking at the giant insect that was shattered by Jiang Man from a distance.
As a game enthusiast, she naturally would not be unfamiliar with scarabs. In many games and film and television works, scarabs have become iconic creatures, and their existence itself has already symbolized a certain cultural symbol.
It’s just that some scarabs are OK to see in the game, but it’s too scary to appear in reality.
"You know this?"
Gu Yun had long felt that An Ling had the potential to become a military player. She also raised the abnormality of this mirror, so he did not consider that there was a secret behind a mirror.
"You must have heard of mummy?"
"I've heard of this!"
Jiang Man's eyes lit up, "When I was traveling in my early years, I also made a special trip to visit the mummy."
Because in a sense, their zombie clan and mummies may be considered distant relatives. The difference is that most zombies are reawakened after absorbing the essence of the sun and moon, while mummies preserve the dead's bodies through some ancient ritual.
"But legends are all lies. When I went there, all the sarcophagus were mummies, and no mummies came alive."
"If you can survive, there will be ghosts!"
An Ling blurted out, but suddenly realized that it seemed a bit strange to say this.
Jiang Man is a zombie, and in theory it is also a kind of ghost. He cannot be treated as a human just because of his appearance and figure resemble Kaz.
"Well, in short, in the legend of the Egyptians, the scarab is a messenger connecting life and death, guiding the souls of the dead to the underworld. According to my years of experience, the world on the back of this mirror is definitely not a good place."
Almost all mummy-related games will introduce this custom, and once the player is attacked by a scarab, it probably means that a mummy will come alive soon.
It seems that no matter what world view is, the world is not a good place.
"What exactly is it? Just look at it."
Gu Yun looked down at the place on his wrist that had been gnawed by the scarab. There were only a row of tiny stamps on his skin, and even the skin was not broken. His biting ability was not as good as the rabbits they raised at home.
Although the mirror in the office couldn't get into it, there was a mirror about the same height as Jiang Man in the corridor outside the office.
"Slow down first, what should I do if you go in? The "Adventure Manual" did not say how to cover the whole body with magic power."
An Ling hurriedly said--These two people really let her watch the wind outside, right?
God knows what the other part of the mirror is like. If Gu Yun and Jiang Man get lost and ask the director to come out of the mirror and run into her head, wouldn’t something big will happen?
"How about you find a way to call Marian and ask her to guide me remotely?"
"No need to be so troublesome."
Gu Yun shook his head, the effect of mental power is not only on himself.
Under An Ling's gaze, he walked in front of him in two steps. Before she could react, she was already picked up by Heng.
The back waist leaned on Gu Yun's left arm, and his legs were placed on Gu Yun's right arm - this is... the standard princess hugging posture!
An Ling's face kept blushing to the base of her neck, and this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity was simply unexpected.
She can only say...
It's great not to use magic!
This is thanks to her just a primary school apprentice who knows nothing. I really hope she can be an elementary school apprentice forever.
She leaned her body with the flow, leaned her face slightly against Gu Yun's chest, and the latter's heartbeat was right in her ears.
With An Ling, there was also Jiang Man watching on the side.
What a scene!
The mood that had been slightly calmer once again became ready to move. This restless feeling made him want to run to campus and pick up the first girl he met in the waist...
"That way, you can pass through the mirror."
Gu Yun did not notice the strangeness of An Ling and Jiang Man. He covered his mental power on the two of them. He hugged An Ling and walked out of the office door, standing in front of the mirror at the same height as the person in the corridor. As the saying goes, the most dangerous place is the safest place. The mirror is placed in such a conspicuous position, but the teachers and students coming and going could not imagine that it was a bridge connecting two different worlds.
Seeing that she was getting closer and closer in the mirror, An Ling could already clearly see her expression in the mirror. When her feet were immersed in the mirror, she subconsciously closed her eyes...
So hot!
This is not the restlessness in my heart, but the world on the back of the mirror is really hot!
In late January, in the winter, she and Gu Yun were wearing thick winter clothes, but when they passed through the back of the mirror, there was a dog days of summer, and the humid and hot breath came to her nose.
An Ling opened her eyes and saw that everything around her had been much more than the dark corridor, and at least two torches were burning on the stone pillars not far away.
The surrounding decoration is an enclosed hall, with blocked sarcophagi lined up in sequence under the stairs of the altar. Looking around, scarab beetles are everywhere.
On the ground, on the sarcophagus, on the walls, and on the dome, these dense insects made An Ling's intensive phobia almost break.
And the two of them were standing on the altar. After coming to this space, the mirror had disappeared.
"Gu Yun..."
"Um?"
"I'll tell you, you must hold me tightly in a while, and never let me go!"
When she said this, An Ling's eyes were firm, and at the same time she proved her determination with more firm actions - she stretched out her hands and hugged Gu Yun tightly.
From now on, she will not let go even if the sky falls!
In addition to taking advantage of the opportunity, it is more important that she should never "step" on these insects, even if the scarab beetles do not bite people.
She can't compete with so many giant insects both physically and mentally.
As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Man followed and appeared in this space.
"here it is……"
Seeing these rows of sarcophagus, Jiang Man was stunned for a moment, "I seem to have been here."
The mummy's tomb.
When he visited his relatives from afar, he came to similar places and even opened the sarcophagus one by one and looked at them.
There is no living person!
“The exit is across from.”
Gu Yun observed the surroundings and came to a conclusion.
The path connected by the stone steps of the altar leads to the end of the tomb. The torches on the stone pillars illuminate the road, and the door at the other end of the path is open.
As for the tomb, there was another darkness, and he could not judge what was waiting for them outside the tomb.
