death of hope

Chapter 450 "Corporate Warrior" (360) Obsessed with ghosts

The left and right walls of the tomb passage are full of exquisitely crafted shrines enshrining strange gods, as well as exquisite murals. It can be seen from the paintings that the Yanren religion has the habit of offering sacrifices to living people.

Suddenly, Lynch slowed down: "It's not good... the smell of blood is getting stronger and stronger."

(Don't be the dead bodies of children...don't be...I've seen too much pain in my life, I can't take it anymore...)
At the corner of the tomb passage, Lynch discovered the source of the bloody smell, and it wasn't little Franz or little Sarah. The panicked father finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Others followed and found a thin middle-aged man lying on the ground with one hand resting on the shrine. The white coat he was wearing was stained red with blood, and metal bullet casings were scattered around the edge of his leather shoes.

"This guy was shot and is still alive, very weakly breathing."

"Give him a booster."

Shaft glanced at the plastic ID card on the man's chest: "You are the researcher Shuichi Sakamoto? You lost the memory card outside the pyramid?"

The man opened his eyelids with difficulty, his consciousness was a little blurred, and he begged weakly:

"私を杀して...痛い...私は痛い...

(Kill me...it hurts...I hurt so much...)"

"What kind of bird language are you talking about? Let those warriors translate it."

"Sakamoto! Beast め! この里切りりめ!

(Sakamoto! Dog! You traitor!)"

Uzuki Shimizu roared angrily, wrapped his hands around the neck of the middle-aged man, and lifted it mercilessly:

"The old Patriarch treats you well! He gave you a high salary, a house, and stocks! But you betrayed him! You took refuge in the young master Shenglai!"

"I'm sorry old Patriarch... I can only apologize with my life..." Sakamoto Shuichi sobbed, deeply ashamed: "Master Samurai, please cut off my head."

"Hmph! You deserve it?! Dirty my knife!"

"The intestine was pierced by a bullet, and I was in pain..."

"Slowly bleed and suffer to death. This is the fate of traitors. Kill Lai Shengli as soon as you run out. Now I know I regret it, it's too late!"

A strange white shadow flew across the tomb passage at high speed, and made a mocking sound, scaring everyone into a mess.

"What the hell is that ghostly thing...?"

"Salt man." Sakamoto Shuichi replied.

"What are you talking about? That thing can also be counted as a person?"

"From the point of view of life, the civilization of the salt people has long since perished. From the perspective of psionics, some salt people have survived to this day in the form of pure energy bodies."

Everyone looked at each other in surprise, Johnny Blazer asked:
"Energy body...what ghosts and snakes, I only care about one thing, can you kill me with a gun?"

"High-power ray weapons should be able to kill energy bodies, but it's completely unnecessary, don't be afraid of them,
Those salt people have no consciousness, they just repeat their labor mechanically. For thousands of years, they only do one thing, clean up and maintain this underground palace. "

"WTF? That means those ghostly white figures are a bunch of cleaners with brooms and mops?"

"From the murals, those are the royal nobles of the Salt People,
Although the technology is backward, their understanding of psychic energy is far superior to that of human beings. One of the murals, "Extraordinary and Sanctified", describes how the royal family of the Salt People got rid of the shackles of the physical body and became the energy body of eternal life. "

"You betrayed the old master and took refuge in the young master to study these things?"

"In the beginning, it was just dissecting human psychic talents. The large salt mine in the lower layer and the underground palace were discovered by accident during the third phase of construction."

"Where is my child?!" Lynch pushed Uzuki Shimizu away, staring at the researcher with bloodshot eyes: "The boy's name is Franz, and the baby girl's name is Sarah! Both have gray eyes and blond hair!"

"I'm sorry, sir. I haven't been in touch with the laboratory since I was assigned to the archaeological team. As you can see, the young master ordered his subordinates to shoot and kill us. Those children with psychic talents... Think about it It's also a lot of bad luck..."

"No...no!" Marcus Lynch was furious, and his fist in the power armor glove smashed the shrine around him, and the team members hurriedly comforted him.

Uzuki Shimizu was once again shocked by Lynch's power, and asked after a delay of two seconds: "Tell me about the recent situation of the young master Lai Sheng that you said you knew."

"When the young master came back, there was a meeting, and all the scientists agreed that this underground tomb is a priceless treasure house, which will help us explore the nature of psychic energy.

The enthusiasm of the young master is even greater, the number of project team members has expanded by a hundred times, there is no restriction on capital investment for this project, and he himself will serve as the project director.

In my opinion, Young Master Lai Sheng's enthusiasm seems... a little too much, he doesn't live in a luxurious bedroom, doesn't go to enjoy delicious food, and the beautiful female secretary is also left out in the cold,

Instead, they stay underground all night, wandering around the palace, looking at the ghosts of the salt men sweeping the dust, looking at the pyramids, looking at the statues, murals, inscriptions, and shrines in a daze. A bedding sleeps in place.

From the point of view of my colleagues and me, Mr. Lai Sheng has been obsessed with something underground, so that we worry that we will become like him.

I have seen it with my own eyes, the young master unbuttoned his clothes, embraced a god statue, and muttered, mine, my baby, all mine... It's like Gollum in "Lord of the Rings"...

Just when everyone was worried about the young master's mental state, the coalition forces began to attack. The sound of lasers and missiles washing the ground finally woke him up, and he wanted to escape in a spaceship.

However, the people of the Green Party sent pigeons, and the promised reinforcements did not arrive. The young master's ship was hit by a missile, and more than half of the crew died, and he himself was injured.

The samurai loyal to the young master abandoned the flagship and took the escape shuttle back to the atmosphere. The base was captured and had to go back to the underground research institute again.

The young master held a high-level meeting, and the participants were all the team leaders and supervisors of various departments of the institute, including the team leader of our team, Xiao Chi Yuanya. After he went to the meeting, I never saw him again.

Then, the warriors forced all the employees to move to the underground salt mine and entered the inner layer of the pyramid, where the second group was responsible. I heard that their research had made significant progress.

In our group's research, we have learned that the Salt People's "Transcendence to the Holy" ceremony has the content of living sacrifices, so I took advantage of the distraction of the warriors to escape,

However... the legs still couldn't escape the bullets...

Master Uzuki, I know I am a traitor, but I still dare to suggest to you...

Go no further, go back,

The young master has been fascinated by the devil, and what awaits you is terror and death. "

The voice became weaker and weaker, the researcher's pupils gradually dilated, Uzuki Shimizu touched his carotid artery:

"Traitor, Dr. Shuichi Sakamoto, dead."
