Chapter 59 The Source of the Curse

Mu Lan also asked Professor Chen to tell what happened in the tomb. It was roughly the same as Wang Chuan's story, but there were some more details, such as why the archaeologists quarreled, and the last sea of ​​blood. Professor Chen confirmed that Not something that actually exists.

When Professor Chen talked about Professor Liang, his voice was full of resentment. Mu Lan observed this keenly. Thinking of the two teachers who had a disagreement and quarreled in the university, she faintly grasped an important clue in her heart, so she looked at the sad-faced Shi Zhengyang, "Forget about the disappearing corpse, I think I have found the source of the curse."

"Do you know where the corpse is hidden?" Shi Zhengyang subconsciously answered Mu Lan's words.

Mu Lan shook her head: "It may not matter where the body is. Do you still remember the illusion I entered? The owner of the tomb was killed by the rebels, and there may not be a good body left behind. Maybe this coffin is just a tomb."

Lin Yiyi groaned and asked in confusion: "Then you said you found the source of the curse? What do you mean?"

"Our direction is wrong." Mu Lan said lightly: "Although it is very straightforward to say that the person who opened the coffin will die, but if you think about what Wang Chuan said, there are other large and small tombs in that area. This inscription, but I don’t see any other staff members being cursed, and only those who entered the central tomb were hunted down by ghosts with human faces. I think this sentence is just a warning to the looters, not the real source of the curse. "

Lin Yiyi showed her starry eyes again. She especially liked watching Mu Lan's analysis. The calm appearance of "everything is under control" coupled with the deserted voice was very attractive to her.

Mu Lan continued: "Do you remember the name of the dungeon?"

"The Wraith is coming!" Lin Yiyi replied.

"Yes!" Mu Lan snapped her fingers, "Think about why it's a resentful spirit? Not an undead, a fierce spirit, etc.?"

Seeing the big-eyed and small-eyed faces of the three people not talking, Mu Lan took a deep breath, and said the thoughts that had been suppressed in her heart: "The captain always said that this kind of dungeon is absurd and illogical, but the world of reincarnation is unnecessary. The purpose of calling us into such a place is to evolve, otherwise it would be fine if we were thrown into the Colosseum. Survival of the fittest will always make someone strong. I think each copy is logically self-consistent and can found a solution."

"The resentment is coming, think about the commonality of the people who entered the tomb. The archaeologists almost fought because of differences of opinion. Professor Liang went crazy for no reason. The captain also showed a completely different expression than usual. Zhao Ziyu resented her family. , resenting my own weakness, and when I found out that I might be left behind by you, I also felt resentful."

After hearing Mu Lan's analysis, Shi Zhengyang understood her thoughts, "Wraiths have the ability to interfere with people's minds, and they can amplify the resentment in people's hearts. I understand this, but the source of the curse is still not found, you." Said Seeing that he suddenly thought of something, he suddenly looked at Professor Chen.

Mu Lan also looked at Professor Chen. Lin Yiyi didn't know why, so she also turned her head when she saw that both of them were looking at Professor Chen.

"Hey, hey!" Zhao Ziyu was confused, "What are you talking about, so where is the source of the curse? You all look at Professor Chen, is he the source?"

"It seems that he should be the source." Shi Zhengyang said.

Mu Lan nodded and continued to analyze: "Professor Chen should be the first group of people to enter the tomb. He should have brought Zhao Ziyu along to steal the hole and open the coffin. As for why he did this, he said it just now. I don't want my research results to be preempted by Professor Liang, I think you and Professor Liang are rivals."

Mu Lan looked at Professor Chen who was silent. This man in his 50s had wrinkles on his face and dark skin. He looked like a 60-year-old man. He lived in a poor and dilapidated area waiting for demolition, but Professor Liang was alone. The single-family villa, this gap is also one of the reasons for his resentment.

The four of them looked at Professor Chen. He smiled wryly, his face seemed to be ten years old again, he squatted down on the ground and lit a cigarette, took a deep breath and said: "Pre-Shang history is my research direction, but my The topic is too biased and does not conform to the mainstream thinking. That idiot Liang Huaiwen suppresses me everywhere and even laughs at my theories in journals. I have endured it all these years."

"But later, he persuaded the superiors to cut off our research funding!" Professor Chen became angry as he spoke, cursing a few words in an unintelligible dialect, and said: "The research on the civilization of the ancient Shu Kingdom is With my hard work, I must never let this scum take the lead!"

Mu Lan felt his resentment. Looking at Professor Chen who was squatting on the ground like a scavenger, she thought that people would always say things that were good for her to cover up her mistakes. More details about the relationship between the two professors She had no way of knowing, but Professor Chen undoubtedly had resentment towards Professor Liang, so after thinking about it, he said, "So you enter the tomb before Professor Liang, and let me guess, you saw that resentful spirit in the tomb, right? Did you reach any agreement? Otherwise, why did you pretend that nothing happened and followed the archaeological team to the tomb for the second time."

The source, as the name suggests, is the origin of everything. Professor Chen's selfishness allowed him to enter the isolated tomb earlier than everyone else, and he saw the undead who was full of unwillingness and resentment thousands of years ago.

But the undead did not kill him. Professor Chen came out safely. He followed the archaeological team into the tomb for the second time, but this time the curse really came to life. Ghosts with human faces accompanied the archaeological team and the interview team. To the ground, and continue to kill them, the real source is Professor Chen's resentment, if he hadn't sneaked into the tomb secretly, all of this would have been buried underground without being discovered.

[Main task [-]: Investigate the death of members of the archaeological team and find the source of the curse. 】

The task has been completed, reward 1000 evolution points.

The task completion prompt appeared without accident, Lin Yiyi said YES, as if she had seen 1000 evolution points fall into her arms, Shi Zhengyang also heaved a sigh of relief, and looked at Mu Lan with eyes full of approval.

"What's wrong with him!" Zhao Ziyu said suddenly.

Mu Lan hurriedly looked at Professor Chen, only to see that his eyes were rounded, his mouth was wide open, and he looked forward with a frightened expression.

The four people looked in the direction of his eyes, but found nothing. At this time, Professor Chen covered his chest, his face turned pale, and his body began to tremble.

"Wraiths have the ability to manipulate human senses! He is hallucinating!" Shi Zhengyang rushed to Professor Chen, trying to help him cover his eyes and ears.

I don't know how much fear Professor Chen suffered from the hallucination. He muttered in an incomprehensible dialect, and then his whole body jerked violently, his pupils lost their luster, and he fell face-to-face on the ground.
