Chapter 35 Main Thread: Get the Imperial Ghost Seal
The coffin seems to be in good condition now, so the people from Oster Company probably didn’t open it because they most likely didn’t know how to deal with the gatekeeper.
Unika’s thorough study of the history of her country is rare in the world. She knows the legend of the gatekeeper so clearly that others may have never heard of it.
This kind of knowledge in tombs is inherently unpopular and taboo, and has never been included in regular books. If you want to find out, you have to rely on your own ability to visit, conduct on-site inspections, read folklore, and finally compare and come up with the most rigorous answer.
.
At this point, Yunika is really amazing. Even Yu Xing admires her a little. He has lived for so long and has always seen everywhere he goes, without ever having to specifically understand the history of any place.
He is like a leaf of duckweed, leaving no big traces wherever he goes, but Unika is like a lotus, quietly taking root in the soil, clearly touching the layer of nutrients in the soil.
She loves her country’s culture, history, and exotic folk customs from all over the world. At this point, most Chinese people can’t help but feel ashamed.
Tomb robbers have seen the Gatekeeper, but they may not necessarily know the origin of the Gatekeeper and how to deal with it. Therefore, if the people from Oster Company do not bring a historian or archaeologist who is comparable to Unika, for the sake of safety,
It was the right choice for them not to touch the coffin.
Yu Xing pointed to the coffin and whispered to Carlos: "What treasures are there?"
"I don't know either. Although I have been here for a long time, I have been here intermittently and my understanding of history is limited." Carlos replied with the same low voice. He glanced at Master Li and said, "He should
He can tell, you see, he is just waiting for someone to ask him."
"..." Yu Xing naturally saw that Master Li knew the secrets that ordinary people, even ordinary tomb robbers, didn't know, and it was certainly something worth showing off.
Master Li is now ready, just waiting for someone to give him an opportunity to show off.
Yu Xing cleared his throat, walked to Master Li, and humbly asked for advice: "Master Li, this is my first time to go to the tomb, and I don't know many things. What treasures does this caretaker ghost have in his coffin?"
Mr. Li felt relieved. He hummed twice in his throat and said to everyone: "Why don't you think about it? The gatekeeper ghost couldn't find the owner of the tomb because of the maze, but why didn't it leave directly from the entrance? It's one door away from the entrance.
Instead of being trapped here for a thousand years, it would be a good idea to give up revenge and leave directly."
“So, there is something in the coffin that will prevent the gatekeeper from leaving the tomb.” Carlos understood and asked, “So what kind of treasure is it?”
Mr. Li's eyes fell on the coffin, and there was a little desire in his eyes: "The seal of the ghost."
Uncle Zhang’s expression changed drastically: “Is this where the ghost seal comes from?”
Others looked confused.
What is the Ghost Seal? I seem to have never heard of it.
Even Unika is unfamiliar with this term.
Mr. Li rolled his eyes at these ignorant guys: "The Ghost Control Seal can suppress many evil ghosts. Where there is the Ghost Control Seal, the power of ghosts will be forcibly suppressed. If we can get it, we will do it in the tomb.
There is an existence like an artifact inside."
“Huh, are you so powerful?” The man with glasses was also the first to hear about it, and he was immediately surprised.
With the Ghost Control Seal, the probability of dying in the tomb will be greatly reduced! This is definitely worth the risk of opening the coffin.
People who were not in favor of opening the coffin were quietly convinced in their hearts.
Mr. Li also said to Yunika alone: "If you have archaeologically inspected the tombs of princes from this period, you must have seen the ghost seal. Maybe it is still there with your appraiser and restorer, but you don't recognize it.
Blind for nothing, baby.”
"...Really." Yunika was rarely questioned professionally, so she was not convinced, "Then tell me, what does the Ghost Control Seal look like?"
“I’ll find out when I see you later.” Mr. Li wanted to give it away and asked everyone to take a closer look at the mechanisms on the ground.
Yu Xing also squatted down and squinted at the small cracks on the ground. As soon as he squatted down, the sound of the absurd deduction system rang in his mind.
【The main mission has been updated】
【Task 1: Get the Ghost Control Seal】
【Task completion reward: Obtain key information】
【Penalty for mission failure: If you encounter a plot kill in the subsequent plot, there is a 50% chance of surviving】
“Oh?” Yu Xing raised his eyebrows. Is this ghost seal really so important? Even system tasks are related to it?
After introducing the background information of the game three times in eighteen hours, there was a reminder that the main mission would be released later. As a result, this follow-up was delayed for many days.
The belated main mission seemed to emphasize to him that everything he experienced in the forest was nothing. Now that he entered the tomb, the fear had just begun.
only……
Yu Xing calmly glanced in the direction of Carlos, who happened to be looking at him as well. Both of them read the message "He has also triggered the mission" from the other's eyes.
Yu Xing finished what he had just left unfinished in his mind: "I just don't know if Carlos's mission is the same as mine. If so, what is the definition of getting the Ghost Control Seal? Obtaining the Ghost Control Seal
Even if the Indians study it clearly, the team can just get it, or should they put it on themselves?"
According to the difficulty of the main mission, Yu Xing estimated that it would be the last one.
Then if Carlos was like him, wouldn't the two of them instantly change from teammates to enemies who need to be wary of each other?
The atmosphere suddenly became subtle.
Of course the natives of this world like Mr. Li didn’t know what suspicion Carlos and San had aroused. Everyone looked around at the mechanism and started discussing it.
The mechanism is around the coffin, and I don’t know how far it extends. If the designer is not crazy, then the doors of the three corridors must be included in the scope of the mechanism. The mechanism must be unlocked to pass safely.
Otherwise, no matter which road you take, you will alert the gatekeeper ghosts, and you will be massacred and harmed by the gatekeeper ghosts after they wake up.
"Oster Company did not destroy the mechanism and did not leave any corpses, which shows that they used the method of dismantling the mechanism." Mr. Li said, "This kind of mechanism is not complicated and easy to solve. It only stops people who do not understand the rules."
, but if we want to get the Ghost Control Seal, we must open the coffin, otherwise the gatekeeper ghost will arise."
"So?" Uncle Zhang walked up to Mr. Li with a calm expression, "If you have any plans, just tell them. There's no point in being secretive here and pretending to be like a junior."
Mr. Li was not angry after being criticized. He laughed twice: "First unlock the mechanism, and then open the coffin after the mechanism is asleep, and then use your skills to kill the janitor."
“Kill it!?” Yunika’s beautiful eyes widened, “Are you so confident?”
"It can be comforted or comforted. If you move your hands, the noise may not be small, and someone might be injured." Carlos didn't agree. He knew many ways to suppress the corpse, such as using the ink line on Zongzi...
Well, ghosts are different from zombies, and there is no such absolute restraint.
“It’s okay if you can appease him, it depends on your ability.” The man with glasses smiled.
"Okay, let each of you do what you want." Carlos looked calm on the surface, but a small paper man quietly poked his head out of his sleeve and looked at Yu Xing with a gloomy look.
Yu Xing felt the gaze, but didn't pay attention. He just smiled and continued to exchange information with Mr. Li and others.
"You ask about the power of the gatekeeper ghost?" The person Yu Xing asked about it a second ago was Lin. Lin's expression was indifferent: "It's more powerful than rice dumplings, probably... about the same as the fish in the ancestral hall."
That's really powerful. That strange fish can smash Yu Xing's internal organs with one tail. Although there is a bonus in the water, it is enough to understand the strength of the gatekeeper ghost.
Yu Xingqi said: "You should be more experienced in dealing with gatekeeper ghosts, but gatekeeper ghosts are also strong and weak. This is the gatekeeper ghost of the evil way. What if it is too strong after being released and we can't deal with it?"
Is this team really that powerful? At least Yu Xing has not yet realized their unique advantage in going to the tomb.
"What the hell can't humans deal with? Boy, remember, a living person is always more powerful than a ghost." Mr. Li patted Yu Xing's shoulder, "The gatekeeper ghost has an entity, and it has some of the characteristics of Zongzi. The glutinous rice can suppress it and bring out ghosts."
Blood swords can also hurt it, so just treat it as a rice dumpling that can attack from a distance."
“But, don’t you need to discuss in advance the response plan after the gatekeeper comes out?” Yu Xing was a little hesitant on the surface, “What if we don’t cooperate well?”
"Cooperation? Hahaha..." Uncle Zhang suddenly laughed, "Young man, you are really the most interesting child I have seen in the tomb in the past few years. What cooperation do we tomb robbers talk about?"
Mr. Li also laughed, as if he had heard something funny.
"San, I believe this is your first time going to the tomb. Going to the tomb is not an outing. You have to count the heads of the few you bring out and take them back. Anyone who dares to come to this big tomb of the notorious evil spirit,
They are all capable and can take care of themselves. As long as no one objects to a decision, it means that everyone has acquiesced that they will protect themselves."
"When we are up there, there are some who have great wild survival skills, some are novices, and those with experience can help. For example, Lao Zhang cooks for everyone. But as long as we get to the tomb, although everyone's skills are different, in the final analysis they are all the same.
It is to serve the tomb robbers, and the most important thing is to save one's own life."
“Except for Yunika, the pure researcher, and you, who we don’t know the details of yet, everyone else here has long been prepared to die here because they are too weak.”
Mr. Li smiled and smiled, but suddenly his face darkened: "Otherwise, I'll ask now, hey, I want to open the coffin. If someone doesn't want to, tell me now. Give me a reason, convince me and I'll listen!"
No one said a word.
"Did you see? Boy, they don't object. This means that even if I open the coffin and reveal a big guy that no one can deal with, causing us to die and go crazy, that is everyone's own choice, no
Blame me." Mr. Li glanced at Yu Xing critically. He originally thought that this delicate-skinned and pampered young man would immediately retreat when he heard the true cruelty of the tomb robber. Unexpectedly, he only saw a look of indifference on San's face.
Looks like San just asked casually and they overreacted.
"Are you still afraid of death in the tomb robbing business? It's all about treasure. People die for money, and birds die for food. Only if you have this mental preparation early can you come." The man with glasses added, but his tone was much gentler than Master Li, just like
Just like I was afraid of scaring San.
“I see.” Yu Xing curled his lips playfully. Therefore, in order to control the ghost seal, they did not hesitate to provoke the demon gatekeepers. They were not confident that they would not die, but they were not afraid of death.
Yu Xing could predict that when the gatekeeper ghost was released later, he would run around for a while after getting the ghost control seal. Who can escape and who cannot escape completely depends on each person's ability.
Perhaps those who are on good terms will come together, and those who are not on good terms will disperse, until the gatekeepers are eliminated and everyone can gather together again.
Anyway, he will be the one to get the Ghost Control Seal, and Carlos' paper man will come in handy later. He has long heard that Mr. Li was interested in Carlos' ability because of this inanimate one.
Paper things can serve as emergency communication devices in the tomb. Carlos will place paper figures all over the cemetery when it is safe, so that even if someone leaves the group, he can quickly find them by asking Carlos.
At that time, he was holding the Ghost Control Seal, and Carlos had to control the paper man to come to him even for the mission.
But this is all a story for later. The most urgent task now is how to dismantle the mechanism.
Mr. Li observed carefully for a long time and finally straightened up. He thumped his waist and murmured: "This is the Beidou Formation with the highest standards."
Beidou Formation is a type of ground formation. As the name suggests, there are only seven points that can be stepped on within a certain area, and these seven points must not be stepped on in the wrong order, otherwise, the mechanism will be triggered.
The Beidou Formation is one of the formations with fewer footholds but the most complicated route. The coffin is placed in the center of the Beidou Formation. That small area is called the "absolute safety zone". People who have stepped through the Beidou Formation can feel at ease.
Unlock the second coffin formation at the coffin; you can also find a safe path extending from the absolutely safe area and directly enter deeper into the tomb.
“Can you tell which seven points they are?” Yunika blinked.
Uncle Zhang pulled Lin and pushed Lin to Master Li's side. He was not only answering Unika, but also explaining to everyone: "If there are no passwords or drawings for this thing, it will require precise calculations, which will probably take a while. Master Li
You're really good at arithmetic, and with Lin Yong's Feng Shui calculation help, you can do it in twenty minutes, right?"
“Twenty minutes? What kind of hat do you have for me?” Mr. Li glared at Uncle Zhang, “Twenty-three minutes, no more.”
Everyone: "..." There is no need to say that he is wearing a high hat if he is so far behind. Mr. Li is awesome.
Uncle Zhang didn't bother to pay attention to him at all, and asked everyone to rest where they were for a while to replenish the energy lost by holding their breath while swimming.
Everyone sat around and sat down. Yu Xing wanted to take this time to test Carlos's tone, but Uncle Zhang came towards him.
“Uncle Zhang.” Yu Xing’s tone was a little confused.
"It's okay, San. I'm just here to confirm your true strength. I have a good idea in my heart. I will be able to determine later whether I need to help you in a dangerous moment." For different strengths, the concept of dangerous moments.
They are also different, so Uncle Zhang wanted to ask clearly.
