Chapter 122 The world line that is gradually closing
Graybain Empire, Yotun City Public College, Professor Carmen’s Residence.
As in the past few days, the young female reporter and his colleagues visited the home of this academic tycoon during the day, and as expected, the other party went to his office outside, and the old maid received them.
At Professor Carmen's request, the library was opened for the two of them to check information, and he himself would not rush back until the afternoon class was over.
The closed door still attracted Stephen. He would go there and peek through the keyhole almost every day, always wanting to discover something.
"Samhain is coming..." Abigail suddenly looked up from the stack of books, "What are you doing?"
Stephen retracted his face again and put his hands behind his back, acting innocent.
"I said...Samhain is coming soon." Abigail repeated.
"Really?" Stephen's shoulders shook, "What's the point?"
"After Samhain is over, we will go back to Velen. You have to get the tickets first." Abigail reminded the other party.
Stephen was slightly startled and asked: "Are you done?"
"Yes! A very good story..." Abigail held the pages of manuscripts in her hands like treasures.
"Then... why don't you leave right away?" Stephen felt strange.
Abigail explained: "Because the professor invited us to play at the Samhain Festival, you know? The Yorton Commodity Conference was also chosen on that day, and Yorton College happened to be holding the graduation ceremony and academic conference that day, so I also
I heard that a certain big shot with the title of Duke will hold a wedding for his daughter on Samhain... Anyway, that day must be very lively, with all the gatherings being held in the harbor area at the same time. Such a big scene is rare. " That's it...
Stephen pursed his lips and still glanced at that room.
Abigail saw what the other party was thinking, and just when she was about to scold him, Stephen said first: "Since you have finished it, then...should we find out what is in this room before leaving?"<
/p>
Abigail doesn't understand Stephen's brain circuit. She would definitely not want anyone to enter someone else's collection room. Why is this guy so obsessed?
Completely unlike the usual Stephen, Abigail understands this man very well.
Next, Stephen told the reason.
"You'll understand if you come over and take a look..."
Abigail leaned over and looked inside through the keyhole, and found that there were many strange ornaments inside, the shapes of which were hard to describe.
Crowns filled with feathers, clay sculpture skulls hanging on the wall, stone knives wrapped in cowhide sheaths, ferocious masks, etc.
Any questions?
Abigail looked at Stephen in surprise, and the latter asked hurriedly: "Have you seen that string of teeth? On the top booth, eight teeth are strung together..."
After hearing this, Abigail peeked again, and sure enough she saw an exhibition stand on a few steps with a necklace on it. It was indeed eight teeth-like things strung together by a rope.
"I have been observing for several days, and most of the things inside have not moved, but the fang necklace is moved every day. Every time I peek, its placement is different..."
"What does this prove? It proves that Professor Carmen plays with this necklace of teeth every day."
After Stephen finished speaking, he crossed his arms proudly, as if he had discovered a big secret, leaving Abigail speechless.
"So? You can do whatever you want with other people's things... You have to pay attention to your own quality, Mr. Reporter."
"No..." Stephen spread his hands, feeling very innocent, "Don't you think this tooth necklace is very evil? As an expert in mysticism and history like Professor Carmen, it's hard to say that he has no interest in invisible arts. I guess
There is something wrong with this necklace, maybe the professor is using it to perform invisible magic!"
The ability of brainstorming is quite strong, Abigail said of her colleague.
At this moment, the library door opened, and Professor Carmen came back and brought hot tea to the two guests.
"Another day full of knowledge, two friends..."
……
Missouri, the wild sand desert in the east, under the huge pit, the ancient old city is filled with the smell of death, warning all carbon-based creatures not to approach.
After working hard for a few days, Adolf, who joined the new team, under the leadership of the leader of the tomb robbers, finally found the entrance to the secret passage marked on the lost map.
"This is it, everyone..." The leader excitedly pointed to the location on the map, and then swept away the accumulated dust on the wall with his hands, revealing obscure pictographic carvings all over the wall.
There were many experienced people in the team. A skinny little man put his face against the wall, closed his eyes and listened carefully, and then told everyone: "It's empty..."
Sure enough!
Adolf took a deep breath. It turned out that he had been wandering around in the temple for so many days and had been exploring in vain. The real secret was hidden in the dark temple deep in the secret passage!
"Cut him open! Guys!"
The leader gave instructions loudly, and a strong man walked past Adolf carrying two miners' hoes and handed one to him.
"New friend, it's time for you to do your part..." The leader had a rather obvious fake smile on his face.
Adolf remained calm, he knew that everyone in this team had their own agenda, and as long as it was not until the last moment, everyone could still take advantage of each other.
He took the hoe, cooperated with the strong man, and began to dig up the thin wall.
Soon, a small hole was drilled into the wall, and the ground was covered with earth and rocks.
"Get through!"
The strong man shouted in surprise, and then dug harder.
Adolf frowned. When he saw that there was really space behind the wall, contrary to the strong man, his movements gradually became restrained, and finally he simply took a few steps back and retreated behind everyone.
Sure enough, his experienced experience of living alone in the east proved that some kind of danger was approaching!
Some strange gas came out of the dug holes.
The strong man didn't pay attention when he saw this, and continued to dig hard. But when he dug out a large stone slab, the strange gas suddenly came out and sprayed on his skin in an instant.
Ah~~~!
The horrific scene that happened next made everyone else so frightened that they couldn't help but retreat.
I saw that the strong man's superficial skin began to fester rapidly, and the flesh and blood were separated from the bones piece by piece. They fell to the ground and turned into black glue. In less than five minutes, a living person turned into a blackened skeleton.
, scattered.
Everyone quickly retreated and fled dozens of meters away.
"There is poisonous gas in the passage..." the leader sighed, and looked at the dead accomplice with pity. "The explosion of wealth also comes with the risk of explosion. We all must be aware of it..."
The skinny boy from before squinted his eyes, carefully observed the diffusion range of the poisonous gas, and then said to everyone: "The poisonous gas inside is very dense, but it is limited and cannot be regenerated. After it evaporates to a certain extent, it will be fine. Look!
”
He pointed at a certain place, where there was a mouse. It was crawling towards the dug hole under the light of the oil lamp, but it stopped somewhere and did not move forward. It seemed that it could sense the danger.
The air dilutes the poisonous gas. As long as you wait patiently, the diffusion will be completed.
