Claudia believed that she was really powerful and could fight ten with one, but her fear and nervousness were real, so...she said she had to be careful about her back, so she hid behind Boss Luo and followed tremblingly.
.
"Speaking of which, classmate Claudia, you seem to have never mentioned your mother..." Luo Qiu turned around, "After your father disappeared, your mother must have been very sad."
"I have no mother." Claudia shook her head, "I am an orphan, adopted by my father since I was a child... That's it."
"That's it..." Luo Qiu nodded.
This also explains one thing, that is, the missing Professor Xie Jiatu has never been married.
"What is your dream?" Boss Luo asked again abruptly... The question span was quite wide, even abrupt, but he had the ability to ask questions without making the other party feel uncomfortable.
"When I was young, I thought about becoming an actor." Claudia thought for a while and then shook her head, "But when you grow up, you will find that only knowledge can truly change your own destiny. So, if
If I have any ideals now, I would like my name to be written in the book of the International Mathematical Union."
"Fields Medal?" Boss Luo smiled slightly, "What a great ideal."
Claudia said discouraged: "Actually, this is too difficult... Over the years, only one woman has done it. Perhaps as research says, women are born to be less rational and logical than men.
.”
"Isn't there already the first female winner?" Luo Qiu shook his head, "I know a lot of women. They are on every door, and they are much better than men."
Claudia shrugged and said: "Thank you for your encouragement, but you don't have to worry about me. Even if I can't become an outstanding mathematician, I won't be impoverished... If it doesn't work, I can still inherit my father's legacy.
"
The content was too real. Boss Luo smiled and said nothing, but he knew that Claudia actually wanted not to inherit this inheritance... The British police have not declared the death of Xie Jiatu in the classroom.
"What about you?" Claudia asked immediately...probably because she instinctively disliked the one who always answered. She didn't seem so scared anymore, and took two steps quickly, side by side with Boss Luo, "Your dream
What is it?"
"If I find it, I'll tell you."
"mean!"
"It seems we have arrived."
Luo Qiu stopped... In front of him was a huge stone door with rocks falling from the top. However, the boulder had been lifted up at this time, and several jacks were inserted into the bottom of the boulder to stabilize it.
This was probably set up by the thugs outside. The strange thing is that they still didn't encounter even a single thug along the way.
…
The boulder lifted up by the jack is high enough for anyone to just bend down and enter. The place behind the door is the place specially marked by Otto.
"Aren't you going in?" Claudia noticed that Luo Qiu was standing in front of the door, but did not go in immediately. He seemed to be thinking about something, so she bent down and poked her head in to take a look.
Instantly, she let out a suppressed exclamation... Claudia quickly took a few steps back, her voice trembling: "There... there seem to be many... many corpses... bones inside!"
Luo Qiu then bent down and walked in, and saw that there were indeed many corpses and bones in Claudia's mouth, and most of them were white bones.
As for the existing corpses, the degree of decomposition is different. The more recent ones may even be from a week ago... Someone died here a week ago.
The clothes on the corpse that had turned into white bones vaguely showed that it was older...these bones and corpses were like a piled up hill at the moment.
The place behind the huge stone door even glows with a faint green light... It is caused by white phosphorus produced by the decomposition of bones. It is a very simple biological and chemical knowledge, but in a place where corpses are everywhere, it is really easy to cause it.
Extreme human discomfort.
"There are several corpses here, and they are dressed the same as the gangsters outside!" Claudia said nervously at this time: "Why did they...all the people here die in this place?"
The smell of corpses in the air hit his nostrils, but Boss Luo seemed to be completely unaware, carefully looking at the bones and corpses around him... He even picked them up from the ground under Claudia's trembling gaze.
I looked at a bone that looked like a thigh bone.
"None of these corpses look like they were injured and died." Luo Qiu said casually: "Look at their bodies, there are basically no fatal wounds... It seems that they died suddenly."
"Then... there is a passage over there!" Claudia pointed at this small space and there was a dark passage that seemed to lead to a deeper place.
There is no doubt that before this passage, there are also corpses. There is even a mummy sitting at the entrance of the passage. Apart from the white bones and the rotting corpses, this is the only corpse sitting at the entrance of the passage.
Dried.
It seems particularly prominent.
The two of them walked in front of the mummy. The mummy's face looked horrified, and its open mouth seemed to have reached the extreme level of human beings. It was obvious that something terrible had happened during its lifetime.
"He...he doesn't even have any wounds on his body." Claudia swallowed and looked nervously into the depths of the passage, only to find that it was pitch black inside and nothing could be seen at all.
The lamp Luo Qiu held in his hand could only illuminate a few meters in front of him.
When Luo Qiu heard this, he knelt down, reached out and moved his hand on the floor a few times. He swept away the dust on the floor and saw a line of writing tools carved on the floor. The tool was probably held by the mummy.
dagger.
"What's written?" Claudia looked curiously, "Hey, it's written in English... [Greed is the original sin]?"
"It seems to be a warning to future generations." Boss Luo looked back at the corpses and bones around him, "Perhaps these people died because of greed."
Claudia said angrily: "That guy named Otto has no good intentions! He actually asked us to come to this horrible place and didn't tell us this!"
Boss Luo smiled and said: "He just told us that there was such a place and did not force us to come... We were just driven by curiosity."
It's driven by my curiosity.
Boss Luo added quietly in his mind.
"Go in?" Claudia asked in a low voice.
"Since you're here, let's go in and take a look." Luo Qiu nodded.
But before leaving, under Claudia's somewhat surprised gaze, he moved the mummy on the left at the entrance of the passage, then found nearby rags and wrapped the mummy.
"What is this doing?" Claudia asked curiously.
Boss Luo said calmly: "In our country, in ancient times, there was a practice of 'straw mat wrapping'. People at that time could not afford coffins due to economic reasons, so they could only use straw mats instead. They felt
, after a person dies, if he doesn’t even have a place to live, it will be more miserable.”
Claudia blinked and suddenly smiled: "You look like a corpse collector!"
When this female top student smiled, she actually looked much better than when she looked serious with big eyes... She followed Luo Qiu's example, found another rag, and covered the body with it.
On top of the mummy, he then said proudly: "Do you know what this is? According to you, this is double ownership."
The ancients would cry...probably. Boss Luo shook his head, but smiled...because of Claudia's seemingly ridiculous move.
"But why did you just help this mummy?" Claudia patted the dust on her hands and looked at the bones and corpses on the ground with a puzzled look. There were so many corpses!
Boss Luo said calmly: "Because they didn't leave any message on the floor."
"Is it because of this?" Claudia was stunned.
Boss Luo said casually: "A person who is willing to give a warning to those who come after him before he dies probably also hopes that those who come after him can do something for him... Since we have received his gift, we might as well do something for him.
.Don’t you think this is fair?”
Claudia rolled her eyes, expressing her disapproval... Then she looked around and suddenly said: "These guys are actually holding weapons... Well, let's lick them!"
It's impossible to lick the bag... without licking it!
Claudia even found a pistol under a body that was not badly decomposed, and then excitedly armed it in her hand, and then just kindly distributed a machete that looked good to
Before Luo Qiu did this, she had actually hung a crossbow on herself.
Claudia, who was only short of level 3 armor, could be called fully armed. At this moment, her confidence suddenly emerged. She loaded the pistol skillfully, and then hummed and said: "I have participated in a shooting club.
, his marksmanship is very good!”
"...Your ideal is not to become a mathematician?" Boss Luo blinked.
Claudia said casually: "I learned this at the request of my father... and also things like Taekwondo. He said that even girls should have a strong body to face anything."
Luo Qiu smiled and said, "It seems that your father has high expectations for you."
Claudia said quietly: "Actually...he hopes that I can love archaeological work as much as he does. Even though he works in a seminary, in fact he is obsessed with all mythical relics. I always feel,
He actually wants to find something."
"Go in?" This time it was Boss Luo's turn to say... thus ending the topic.
Claudia felt very comfortable when this was enough. She looked sideways at Luo Qiu, holding a gun in a rather heroic manner... She suddenly said: "Now it seems, maybe this is adventure."
That’s the charm of work…the constant tension and excitement.”
The boss seemed to be joking: "I hope this didn't make you give up on your original ideals."
"If I give up my original ideal because of this, are you going to take responsibility?" Claudia suddenly asked, her eyes... burning.
Boss Luo shook his head, "It's your choice to give up."
Claudia whispered: "This is not a gentleman's answer... Is this what you Orientals call implicit? It's really dishonest!"
Do you have any misunderstanding about frankness...
Luo Qiu smiled casually and walked directly into the passage... As for the knife that Claudia pushed over, he still had it in his hand.
"Hey! Don't walk so fast, wait for me!" Claudia followed quickly.
…
…
The passage seemed extremely long...it was even impossible to measure its exact depth. Claudia held the pistol tightly and stared fearfully ahead. She did not see Luo Qiu's back!
She never caught up with Luo Qiu from the beginning!
This was an incredible thing. It was obvious that Luo Qiu was just a few steps ahead of her, but she didn't catch up... She couldn't even see the light of the foreign lantern at this time!
"Hey...where are you? Stop playing pranks, okay?" Claudia's heart was beating fast at this time, "I won't ask you weird questions...stop playing pranks, okay?"
Suddenly, the surroundings suddenly lit up, a bright light that made Claudia unable to open her eyes... Until a moment later, her vision gradually recovered, and Claudia saw a colorful world.
This passage is now filled with a massive amount of...incredible wealth!
She saw piles of gold coins, handfuls of diamonds... There were even a large number of gems of various colors inlaid on the walls!
The precious crown is comparable to the treasures and jewelry displayed in the museum...the dazzling array of things, gathered into a colorful and terrifying wealth in front of you, is enough to destroy people's sanity in an instant!
Claudia suddenly took a breath... Even this [Iron//Virgin] who loves learning can't help but feel her heart beating wildly at the excitement of the treasure in front of her!
The wealth around her seemed to have infinite magic power... Her eyes were immediately attracted by a gem necklace casually placed on the ground... She subconsciously reached out her hand to pick up the necklace.
But just when her hand was about to touch the necklace, a line of text suddenly appeared in Claudia's mind.
【Greed is the original sin】.
She was startled and broke out in a cold sweat. When she looked at the gem necklace that fascinated her, she felt inexplicably panicked.
She couldn't help but linger and ran quickly into the depths of the passage, trying not to look at the gold and silver jewelry on both sides of the passage... She just hoped to catch up with Luo Qiu as soon as possible.
But at this moment, after a faint light passed in front of the passage, a figure appeared.
Claudia stopped suddenly, looked at the sudden appearance of the figure, and murmured, "Father?"
She walked towards this figure in a daze, and slowly walked over.
…
Boss Luo quickly reached the end of the passage. The distance was actually not that long. It only took a few minutes at a normal pace.
At the end, Luo Qiu looked back at the way he came. After being silent for a while, he turned to look at the things at the end.
There are statues standing on both sides, like guards... In the middle of the statue is a platform, and an oil lamp is placed on the platform.
Boss Luo was silent for a moment... He picked up the oil lamp easily, then thought about it and wiped it gently a few times.
I saw the oil lamp in my hand shaking for a while, and then a burst of reddish-brown smoke erupted... The smoke condensed, and it turned out to be the appearance of a red giant wearing black clothes.
"Humble human being... tell me what you want... I can grant you three wishes!"
The red giant's voice was like thunder, deafening.
