As early as the First Dynasty, the Pharaoh had a set of cards made from luck.
The specific origin is unknown.
There are a total of 14 lines of hieroglyphic ancient Egyptian characters on the tablet, and each ancient character can be drawn as an independent card.
This set of cards is called the "Rosetta Cards" and is in the hands of the pharaohs and priests of the past.
Among them, the two most powerful ones are tar (tower) and ro (ro) in Egyptian. The meaning of these two words itself means the way of the king.
No one knows the origin of Tarot, but they only know that it will affect the trajectory of stars in some way. People with weak minds will go crazy after just a glimpse of it, and they will never recover.
The high priest has never believed in it. He has been using it for many years and has never experienced any abnormalities.
This year, the stars are shaky.
The high priest decided to spend his life to reshuffle the cards and draw them in order according to the current calendar year, hoping to get some tips.
The high priest began to shuffle the cards as usual.
The deck of cards changes.
Sudden.
He seemed to see something...a foreign object from each card.
The old priest approached the pile of cards, and suddenly something jumped out.
He was so frightened that he let go and the cards scattered all over the floor.
"Damn bugs!"
After seeing clearly what it was, the priest calmed down.
They're just little bugs.
So he collected the cards on the ground and shuffled them again.
But not long after... another foreign object jumped out!
This time, the bug jumped directly onto the white table.
Snapped!
The priest had quick eyesight and slapped it with his hand.
He could feel that...explosive touch.
The Nehekhara warriors squeezed out the insects. Is this how it felt, right?
The priest raised his hand.
Suddenly, he looked confused.
Nothing at all!!!
Hallucination?
Does it seem like you are too worried?
There is nothing in hand.
But the feeling of insect corpses and filth left on my hands is still there.
Thickness, diaphragm reaction, nausea.
Wash your hands.
The priest gave up playing cards, stood up, went into the house, and began to wash his hands.
again...
The feeling of diaphragm is still there.
Cleaned it again.
My hands are as smooth as jade, but the feeling of diaphragm is still there.
The high priest became a little irritable and started washing his hands over and over again.
Over and over, over and over again.
.......
"High Priest, astrology...ah!!!!"
The priestess who came in to report the horoscope exclaimed!!!
She saw that the high priest was washing his hands. The water was flowing continuously. The high priest was rubbing his hands vigorously. The skin and flesh kept falling off, as if only the bones were left.
"What's wrong?" The high priest turned his head.
The priestess shivered when she saw the strange scene in front of her.
"Let me ask you, what happened to the stars?" the high priest asked again.
"You...your hands!!!" The priestess looked at the high priest who looked normal, with an expression of disbelief.
"Oh, it's okay, it's stained with dirt." The high priest looked over and over, as if nothing was wrong.
but......
All the meat has fallen off!!!!
The priestess breathed heavily and backed away repeatedly.
"Forget it, let's not shuffle. It's just right. You can shuffle the cards with me and see the dynasty's luck in this star calendar." The high priest shook his head, walked to the hall again, and stood at the card table.
The priestess was stunned, she didn't know what happened or what to do!
"Come here, what are you doing standing around?" came the impatient voice of the high priest.
The woman could only bite the bullet and walk over.
Maybe... the high priest has invented some new deck. Like Mummy, there is nothing to be afraid of, right?
"I'll shuffle the cards, you choose one." The high priest's bone-white hands began to shuffle the cards.
The sight only made the priestess' scalp tingle.
"It's washed, let's choose."
The woman slowly pulled out a card and looked at the card. It seemed to be "the sun".
"It's so exciting." The high priest smiled and approached step by step: "La, the stars represent you, you of the Third Dynasty."
"You..." The priestess tried to keep her distance awkwardly, but the high priest was obviously not normal.
"Pick up your cards."
The woman had no choice but to do as she was told. On the card, the light of Ra was shining on all living beings, as usual.
"Who do you think will have the last laugh on today's table?" the high priest suddenly asked an incomprehensible question.
The priestess shook her head, but after thinking about it, she said again: "Our Third Dynasty has a vast territory and can establish a star kingdom for eternity."
"Good is good, big is big, but... do you see the bug on the card?"
"Yeah!" When the priestess heard this, she was so frightened that she threw the card away. When she looked at it carefully, there were no insects anywhere.
"Okay, it fell, it's perfect, it indicates the decline of the dynasty's luck, they came out of the cards, they are everywhere..." The high priest smiled and shook his head: "The third
The dynasty is over. Although it looks great, no matter how great the background is, it is of no use. It is just riddled with holes."
"You...what are you talking about????" The priestess was scared and confused.
"I didn't say anything. Let's continue. Let's choose the next one."
The priestess pulled out another one tremblingly.
"It's good to smoke." The high priest said in the same tone as usual: "[Restraint] represents...their uncontrolled reproduction and reproduction. They are powerful and everywhere, but they lack imagination and are punished by death. Keep smoking."
The pile of cards in the high priest's bone-white hand was almost reaching his face, and the female priest could only continue to draw one more card.
"This one is a bit interesting." The high priest put away his smile and looked at it carefully for a long time: "[The Hermit], a mysterious oriental human race, appeared late and has great power, but... I think he is just a second generation ancestor.
Our ancestors are wealthy, and we are too addicted to the glory and ancient power of the past. There will be no development, and we will be punished by death... again."
One piece, one piece.
One after another.
From the mouth of the high priest, all kinds of strange explanations came out, but there was nothing more than two words, death penalty.
"We are almost out of cards. Can I draw the last one?"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! The priestess was almost cornered, with fear crawling all over her body, and she did not dare to move, so she could only nod.
The high priest slowly pulled out one, and his expression was... ecstatic!
She announced as if she was victorious: "[Priestess]!!! It turns out you are the winner, congratulations, you had the last laugh!"
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu" Seeing this scene, the priestess dared not respond, and she was so frightened that she sobbed softly.
"Why don't you laugh after you win??!!! Could my prediction be wrong? You laugh, you actually laugh!!!" The high priest turned from ecstasy to rage, but the priestess just cried.
.
Suddenly, the high priest grabbed the priestess's hair, pulled it up hard, and forced the card in his hand into the woman's mouth!
The sharp edge of the card violently cut open her mouth, and blood stained the beautiful card surface of [Priestess]...
"I can't be wrong, the Lord can't be wrong, God can't be wrong!!! If you don't laugh, I will help you laugh. If you smile for me!!! Laugh!!!"
"Uh..." The priestess only had time to let out a cry that didn't sound like a human voice from her throat, before her head was violently torn apart by the card, and her body gradually went limp.
When the "high priest" saw this, he also grabbed the woman's hair, including her scalp, and slumped on the ground, turning a blind eye as the blood stained the priest's robe.
Slightly
Giggle~
After sitting quietly for a long time, the high priest suddenly laughed strangely.
"Haha, haha, hahaha, hahahaha, I laughed, I laughed, I laughed to the end, I won, I won!!!"
While talking, he picked up the scattered cards from the ground, stuffed them into his mouth, and devoured them!
"Eat you, eat you all, bad seed, bad seed!!! It is too lonely, too lonely. It has summoned you with lofty ideals and wants to build a lifelike and bustling universe. You...
..Your war killed it, you have to pay for it with your life, you all have to pay for it with your life!!! Ugh!!!"
One by one, the cards seemed to be swelling and fermenting in the high priest's belly.
The high priest's belly is getting bigger and bigger.
