Claudia believed that she was really powerful and could hit ten of them one by one, but her fear and nervousness were also real, so... She said she had to be on guard, 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 be very sad."
"I don't have a mother." Claudia shook her head, "I'm an orphan, adopted by my father since I was a child... that's it."
"I see..." Luo Qiu nodded.
This also shows one thing, that is, the missing Professor Xie Jiatu has never been married.
"What is your dream?" Boss Luo suddenly asked again... The span of this question is quite large, even abrupt, but he just has the ability to not make the other party feel uncomfortable when he asks the question.
"When I was young, I thought about becoming an actor." Claudia shook her head after thinking for a while, "But when you grow up, you will find that only knowledge can truly change your own destiny. So, if you say If I have any ideals now, I think my name can be written in the booklet of the International Mathematical Union."
"Fields Medal." Boss Luo smiled slightly, "What a great ideal."
Claudia said discouragedly: "Actually, this is too difficult... For so many years, only one woman has done it. Maybe it's just like the research said, women are inherently lacking in rationality and logical thinking compared to men. "
"Isn't there already a first female winner?" Luo Qiu shook his head, "I know quite a few women, they are in 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 don't become an outstanding mathematician, I won't be poor... Really, I can still inherit my father's legacy."
The content was too real, Boss Luo smiled and didn't say anything, but he knew that Claudia actually wanted not to inherit this inheritance... The British police have not yet announced that Xie Jiatu classroom is dead.
"What about you?" Claudia asked immediately... Probably because she instinctively disliked the one who kept answering, she seemed not so scared anymore, and walked two steps quickly, standing side by side with Boss Luo, "Your dream is What?"
"If I find it, I'll let you know."
"mean!"
"It seems to be here."
Luo Qiu stopped in his tracks... in front of him was a huge stone gate with stones falling from the top. It's just that the boulder has been pried up at this time, and several jacks have been stuffed 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 meet even a single thug along the way.
…
The huge boulder lifted by the jack was so high that one could just bend down to get in. The place behind the door is the place Otto specially marked.
"Aren't you going in?" Claudia noticed that Luo Qiu was standing in front of the door but didn't go in right away, as if he was thinking about something, so she bent down and put her head in for a look.
In an instant, she let out a suppressed exclamation... Claudia stepped back quickly, her voice trembling: "Inside... there seem to be many... many corpses... bones!"
Only then did Luo Qiu bend down and walk in, and saw that there were indeed a lot of corpses and bones in Claudia's mouth, and most of them were bones.
As for the existing corpses, their degrees of decay are different. The relatively recent ones may even be just a week ago... someone died here a week ago.
The clothes on the corpses that had turned into bones were vaguely older... These bones and corpses were like a pile of hills at the moment.
The place behind the huge stone gate is even glowing with a faint green gleam... It is caused by the white phosphorus produced by the decomposition of bones. It is a very simple knowledge of biology and chemistry, but in this place full of corpses, it is indeed easy to cause people to panic. of extreme discomfort.
"There are a few corpses here, and their clothes are the same as the gangsters outside!" Claudia said nervously at this moment: "They...all the people here, why did they die in this place?"
The smell of corpses filled the air, but Boss Luo seemed unconscious, carefully looking at the bones and corpses around him... He even picked up a piece of meat from the ground under Claudia's trembling gaze. The root looked like a thigh bone and looked up.
"These corpses don't look like they were injured and died." Luo Qiu said casually: "Look at their bodies, basically there are no fatal wounds... It seems that they died suddenly."
"There... 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.
Undoubtedly, 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 rotting corpses, this is the only corpse sitting at the entrance of the passage. dry.
It is particularly prominent.
The two walked in front of the mummy. The face of the mummy looked terrified, and the opened mouth seemed to have reached the limit of human beings. It was obvious that something terribly happened to him before he was alive.
"He... he doesn't even have a wound on his body." Claudia swallowed, nervously looked into the depths of the passage, but it was pitch black inside, and nothing could be seen at all.
The lamp in Luo Qiu's hand can only illuminate a few meters ahead.
Hearing this, Luo Qiu squatted down, stretched out his hand and moved it a few times on the floor. He swept away the dust on the floor, and saw a line of words engraved on the floor. The tool was probably held by the mummy. dagger.
"What did you write?" Claudia looked curiously, "Hey, it's written in English... [Greed is the original sin]?"
"It seems to be a warning to those who come later." Boss Luo looked back at the corpses and bones around him, "Perhaps, these people died because of greed."
Claudia said angrily at this time: "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 there was such a place, and he didn't force us to come... We were just driven by curiosity."
driven by my curiosity.
Boss Luo quietly added 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.
Just before leaving, under Claudia's somewhat surprised eyes, he moved away the mummy at the entrance of the passage on the left, and then found a nearby rag to wrap the mummy up.
"What is this?" Claudia asked curiously.
Boss Luo said indifferently: "In our country, there was a practice of 'wrapping corpses in straw mats' in ancient times. People at that time couldn't afford coffins due to economic reasons, so they could only use straw mats instead. After death, if there is no place to live, it will be more desolate."
Claudia blinked, and suddenly smiled: "You look like a corpse collector!"
When this schoolgirl smiled, she actually looked much better than when she had big eyes and a serious face... She imitated Luo Qiu's appearance, found another rag, and covered the mummy Above, and then proudly said: "Do you know what this is? According to you, this is double belonging."
The ancients would cry... probably. Boss Luo shook his head, but smiled... because Claudia's behavior seemed ridiculous.
"But why are you just helping this mummy?" Claudia patted the dust on her hands, looked at the bones and corpses all over the floor, and showed a puzzled look. There are so many corpses!
Boss Luo said indifferently: "Because none of them left a message on the floor."
"Just because of this?" Claudia was startled.
Boss Luo said casually: "A person who is willing to give a warning to the latecomers before he dies, presumably hopes that the latecomers can do something for him... Since we have received his gift, we might as well do something for him. Don't you think that's fair?"
Claudia rolled her eyes, expressing her disapproval... Then she looked around and suddenly said, "These guys are still holding weapons... Well, let's lick it!"
It's impossible to lick the bag... not to!
Claudia even found a pistol under a corpse that was not badly decomposed, and then armed it in her hand quite excitedly, and then just assigned a good-looking machete to the Before she met Luo Qiu, she had actually hung a crossbow on her body.
Claudia, who was only short of the third-level armor, was fully armed. At this time, her confidence burst out. She loaded the pistol skillfully, and then said with a snort: "I have participated in the shooting club. , The marksmanship is very good!"
"... Your ideal is not to be a mathematician?" Boss Luo blinked.
Claudia said casually: "This is at the request of my father... and also like taekwondo. He said that even a girl should have a strong body to face anything."
Luo Qiu smiled and said: "It seems that your father has high expectations of you."
Claudia said quietly: "Actually...he hopes that I can love archaeological work as much as he does. Don't think he works in a seminary, but in fact he is obsessed with all the mythical relics. I always feel that, He was actually looking for something."
"Go in?" This time it was Boss Luo's turn to say... This ended the topic.
Claudia felt very comfortable with this kind of moderation. She turned her head and looked at Luo Qiu, holding a gun in a rather heroic manner... She suddenly said: "Looking at it now, maybe this is the expedition work." The charm of it... the tension and excitement all the time."
The boss seemed to be joking: "I hope it didn't make you give up your original ideal because of this."
"If I give up my original ideal because of this, are you going to be responsible?" Claudia asked suddenly, her gaze... burning.
Boss Luo shook his head, "Giving up is your own choice."
Claudia whispered: "This is not a gentleman's answer... Is this what you Orientals call reserved? It's really dishonest!"
Have you misunderstood honesty...
Luo Qiu smiled casually, and walked directly into the passage... As for the knife that Claudia stuffed over, she was holding it in her hand for the time being.
"Hey! Don't go so fast, wait for me!" Claudia followed quickly.
…
…
The passage seemed to be extremely long... It was impossible for people to measure its exact depth. Claudia held the pistol tightly and stared ahead in fear. She didn't see Luo Qiu's back!
She never caught up with Luo Qiu from the very beginning!
This is an unbelievable thing. Obviously, Luo Qiu walked a few steps before her eyes, but she didn't catch up... Even the light of the foreign lamp, she couldn't see it at this time!
"Hey... where are you? Don't play pranks, okay?" Claudia's heart was beating fast at this time, "I won't ask you strange questions... stop pranks, ok?"
Suddenly, the surroundings were brightened, and a bright light made Claudia unable to open her eyes... After a while, her vision gradually recovered, and Claudia saw a colorful world.
On this passage, at this time, it is covered with a huge amount of... inconceivable wealth!
She saw piles of gold coins, handfuls of diamonds... There were even a lot of gemstones inlaid on the walls!
The precious crown is comparable to the treasures and jewelry exhibited in the museum... There are so many beautiful things in sight, gathered into a colorful and terrifying wealth, enough to destroy people's reason in an instant!
Claudia suddenly took a deep breath... Even this [Iron//Virgin] who loves learning, at this moment, her heart can't help but be excited by the treasure in front of her!
The wealth around seemed to have infinite magic power... Her eyes were suddenly attracted by a gemstone necklace randomly placed on the ground... She subconsciously reached out her hand, wanting to pick up the necklace.
But just as her hand was about to touch the necklace, a line of words suddenly popped up in Claudia's mind.
[Greed is the original sin].
She was startled for a moment, but she was already covered in cold sweat, and when she looked at the gemstone necklace that fascinated her, she panicked inexplicably.
She couldn't help staying, and quickly ran to the depths of the passage, trying not to look at the gold, silver and jewels on both sides of the passage... She only hoped to catch up with Luo Qiu as soon as possible.
But at this moment, after a glimmer of light in front of the passage, a figure appeared.
Claudia stopped abruptly, looked at the figure that suddenly appeared, and muttered to herself, "Father?"
She walked towards this figure in a daze, and walked slowly.
…
Boss Luo quickly walked to the end of the passage. In fact, the distance is not very long. It only takes a few minutes at a normal pace.
At the end, Luo Qiu looked back at the way he came, and after a moment of silence, 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 impressively.
Boss Luo was silent for a moment... He picked up the oil lamp easily, and after thinking about it, he wiped the oil lamp lightly a few times.
I saw the oil lamp in my hand shaking for a while, and then a puff of reddish-brown smoke erupted... The smoke condensed, and it turned out to be a red giant in black clothes.
"Humble human... tell me, what wish do you want... I can grant you three wishes!"
The voice of the red giant was like thunder, deafening.
Boss Luo: "Well..."
