London.
In the ancient castle of the Scott family.
All the Scotts, including the family head’s family, surrounded a computer and were staring at its screen.
When they saw that Wayne Scott and the others had discovered High Priest Aaron’s tomb, they were all trembling with excitement.
What other reason could it be?
It was all because of the strange curse that the Scott family had been suffering from. All Scotts were threatened by the curse.
All of them died in their forties. No one could live past 50.
The Scott family had been waiting for this day when the curse could be removed for far too long.
However, after so many years, the Scotts had searched all over the world, but they couldn’t find any clues regarding this curse.
But after so many years of searching, they had more or less understood the method to lift the curse.
They had to counter a curse with another curse.
Using mummy blood, they could produce vaccines to neutralize the curse.
“Do we really have a chance this time?”
A member of the Scott family asked.
Harry replied firmly, “How unexpected. Wayne and his siblings actually found High Priest Aaron’s chamber!”
“If everything goes well, we have a 60% chance of resolving this curse once and for all!”
As for why he was so sure, it was because after years of exploration, the Scott family had discovered the conditions required for a corpse to become a high-level mummy.
First, the dead must hold a great deal of resentment.
Only corpses that had died of unjust treatment and were nourished by suitable burial grounds could evolve after thousands of years.
And High Priest Aaron fulfilled all those conditions perfectly.
For starters, he was the Egyptian God of Slaughter.
In order to unite Egypt, he killed 200,000 enemy soldiers.
He bore the burden of misunderstandings and anger all by himself for thousands of years.
He was a person with outstanding achievements, the Egyptian God of War who had dedicated his entire life to his country. However, he was sentenced to death by his Pharaoh because the latter had grown paranoid of his achievements.
Even though Khufu had relocated his tomb to the Pyramid of Giza, his resentment had not dissipated even after thousands of years.
Therefore, the prerequisite was fulfilled.
As long as it could be confirmed that his body had not decayed due to strong resentment, there was a high possibility that it would revive from death and transform into a high-level mummy.
Regardless of whether his body had transformed or not, his mummy blood was the key to removing the curse.
However, a revived high-level mummy was extremely terrifying.
Hence, if they could confirm that Aaron’s body was still intact and that it had not been resurrected, the Scott family would probably be able to obtain some mummy blood.
…
Meanwhile, in the live stream.
The netizens who were watching the live broadcast all started commenting that they did not want anyone to enter High Priest Aaron’s tomb.
Even so, the Scott siblings couldn’t care less about those comments.
They were well aware that the only hope for them to remove the family curse was the mysterious mummy blood.
If they could confirm that Aaron’s corpse hadn’t decayed, then this would be their only chance.
With these thoughts in mind, the Scott siblings looked at the stone door before them, their hearts pounding hard.
But at this moment, the cameraman looked at the huge stone door and asked, “How are we going to enter? This door looks like it weighs at least a few thousand kilograms. We didn’t bring any tools, so we definitely can’t open it!”
From his tone, it’s obvious that the cameraman was terrified.
He hinted that it was better for them to return now and ask the people outside to open the door with machines.
But the Scott siblings ignored him as if they hadn’t heard him. They didn’t even look at him.
Allen walked straight to the stone door. After careful observation, he said, “This door has an airlock and a timer installed. It’s easy to open the door, but if we don’t come out after a certain time, the stone door will close by itself.”
“After the stone door closes, the ventilation holes on both sides of the door will quickly draw out the air inside the chamber, forming a semi-vacuum space.”
“Moreover, when we open this door, all the mechanisms inside the chamber will be switched on. At that time, the mechanisms can be activated at any moment, making it extremely dangerous inside.”
Huh?
The netizens were all stunned by Allen’s words.
What was he talking about?
How did he deduce all of this?
The netizens had been watching the video feed throughout and they could see what he was doing. However, he made conclusions about the situation inside after taking a brief glance at the stone door. Moreover, he sounded very certain.
He even knew what kind of mechanisms were inside. Wasn’t this a little too exaggerated?
Wayne nodded. “Is there a way to avoid those mechanisms?”
Allen nodded and stepped forward.
He might not know much about other things, but in terms of mechanisms, no one in the younger generation of the Scott family could compare to him.
He suddenly stretched out his right hand and extended a finger toward a ventilation hole on the door.
Seeing that, the netizens gradually kept quiet.
The viewers did not know what he wanted to do, but they all held their breaths subconsciously. Meanwhile, Allen had also closed his eyes and focused on sensing the situation inside the chamber without a word.
He had received harsh training in the Treasure Searching Hand since youth.
His fingers were slender and strong, far superior to normal people in terms of the sharpness of senses.
Click!
Clack!
Suddenly, everyone heard a soft sound coming from the other side of the stone door.
Then, Allen suddenly withdrew his finger and moved to the side. The heavy stone door before them opened automatically.
Seeing this, everyone watching the broadcast was shocked. They couldn’t understand how Allen did it.
How could a stone door that weighed thousands of kilograms be opened so easily by a single finger?
“Th-this is?”
Seeing that the cameraman was in shock, Wayne explained, “This is my brother’s Holy Golden Hand. Not only can he detect hundreds of hidden mechanisms and secret weapons with just one finger, but he can also find a way to crack them.”
“Now, he has figured out all the mechanisms behind this stone door.”
That’s right.
Just a moment ago, Allen had used his Holy Golden Hand to open the stone door. In the meantime, he had also detected most of the hidden mechanisms.
However, the netizens found it unbelievable.
Allen didn’t make any explanations. He picked up a stone and threw it into the door.
Everyone was puzzled as they watched the stone roll into the door.
But in the next second!
Clang!
A gigantic black shadow fell from above and crashed onto the ground.
