Chapter 321 Death, pocket watch, negotiation
"Have you seen the contents?" After Tang Bai got the spell from Imoton, he did not personally open the Undead Bible and verify it as Imoton wished. Instead, he asked again.
"Every high priest has read the contents." Imodon, who had recovered some energy, looked at the silver dragon standing on Tang Bai's shoulders in fear and hatred, and said with his head down.
"Can't you say?" Tang Bai frowned.
"It cannot be said that the gods put some kind of forbidden on it. That is not even a language." Imodon understood the meaning of Tang Bai's "cannot be said". "This spell is one of the greatest secrets that every high priest needs to protect."
"You should be very clear, what is the cost of deception?" For some reason, Tang Bai felt a little worried and uneasy in his heart.
This anxiety comes from suspicion of Imoton. According to Tang Bai's understanding of Imoton, this mummy, who had been cursed for more than three thousand years, was not a person who could believe 100%.
Let’s not talk about his deceiving Evelyn, O’Connor and others. When facing the Scorpion King, he immediately surrendered and prayed that the Scorpion King would let him go and wait for an opportunity to see him. He obviously also has the potential of some heroes.
I wanted to see something from Imoton's face and eyes, but the result made Tang Bai feel very disappointed. Only a skeleton and a rotten skin Imoton could not see any subtle expression from his face. Even his eyes were quite calm, without any guilty fluctuations.
"I have said what I know. Even if you let this thing purify me, I can only reveal so much to you." Emoton's lips twitched clearly, revealing a circle of corrupt yellow teeth.
Tang Bai was silent for a moment.
To be honest, if it is possible, Tang Bai would never touch or participate in some uncertain things and events that are extremely dangerous. But things can never be as smooth and perfect as he imagined.
Risks and opportunities have always been a pair of twins who are always focused on Meng.
It is safe to proceed step by step, but being too conservative and stable will inevitably lose a lot of opportunities and progress; the greater the risk, the more you succeed, the more you will gain. What Tang Bai needs to do is to make a choice between being safe and taking risks.
What Tang Bai needs to consider now is whether to take this possible risk?
Although there are gods in the mummy world, these gods no longer have the activity and intimidation of ancient times. Even miracles have not appeared again for a long time. I remember that the only two gods in this world took action, they were the same god.
Anubis, God of Death!
Once, he agreed to the Scorpion King's contract promise and gave him an immortal army that could defeat all the attacks and immortality; the other time, when Imoton and the Scorpion King were fighting on the ring, they deprived Imoton of their mana for fairness and balance.
The only two times were only indirect actions, and even the true body was not revealed.
No matter what happened to the gods in this world, their influence in the human world has greatly reduced, there is no doubt that in places like Hamnata, those gods still have the ability to take action.
This time it was not like facing the female sea god, and Aslan. Although the female sea god was moody, she was sealed. Her power did not allow her to use too much. Aslan was a relatively gentle god and had no conflict of interests with Tang Bai.
But Anubis is different.
Tang Bai was not sure what kind of attitude Anubis would have towards a person who dared to spy on his secrets.
After pulling out the book from the train and seeing those words with profound meanings, Tang Bai couldn't help but feel more anxious and urgent. He urgently wanted to read the content recorded above.
For Tang Bai now, it is a rare opportunity before him.
It is an opportunity that he needs to make up his mind to fight for it.
The Dead Bible came out of Evelyn's arms, as if an invisible silk thread was pulling it violently, and flew straight to the direction where Tang Bai was. Tang Bai lightly tapped his wand to the Dead Bible, and the flying Dead Bible turned around in the air, rotated and adjusted the angle, and quietly slung in front of Tang Bai.
The wand was changed to the left hand, and the palm of the right hand slaps lightly at the undead Bible in the void. The unlocked undead Bible immediately showed the contents as if it was lifted by a void hand.
The meticulous, solemn and rhythmic aria flowed out from Tang Bai's lips after Imodon's mouth. The long, long spell that had been about one minute was easily recited by Tang Bai without any error.
Just after the last syllable of Tang Bai landed, the entire undead Bible suddenly rippled with a hazy light. A huge and mysterious energy surged out of the body of the book along with the hazy black pure energy.
When touched by that energy, it was like turning 50 or 60 times in place, and then suddenly stopped. The whole person had a dizzy feeling of the soul being thrown out. But Tang Bai's body did not have the sense of unbalanced and direction like weightlessness, and was still standing steadily on the ground like an old tree stump.
Looking at Tang Bai, who looked a little illusory, Imodon, who was stalking his body with his sarcophagus, a wanton smile appeared on the corner of his lips: "The answer you are looking for will be answered to you personally by the great god Anubis."
When Tang Bai woke up from the dizziness, he found that he had been dragged into a dark space. In front of him was a jackal-headed human body, a huge figure, Anubis, an ancient Egyptian god of death. A grand and melodious voice that made people unable to distinguish between men and women. It sounded from all directions of this strange space, but it was not noisy at all, and it fell neatly into Tang Bai's ears.
"Strange people, this is not where you should be."
The same words were spoken by different gods in different worlds.
"Anubis, the God of Death?"
Tang Bai could not help but be surprised. Although he had the worst preparations in advance, when this situation really happened in front of Tang Bai, he could only smile bitterly.
"Leave this place, it does not belong to you, nor is it where you should come."
Anubis's voice once again sounded in this dark space that was stained with black and could not see the edge. With his voice, Anubis's body gradually became illusory in Tang Bai's eyes, and it was obvious that he was planning to leave.
"Wait! Please wait!" Perhaps it was Anubis' attitude that made Tang Bai break free from the initial panic and impact, and woke up in one fell swoop. Seeing that Anubis was leaving, Tang Bai kept him without even thinking about it.
However, Anubis seemed to have not heard Tang Bai's attempt to stay, and his body was still fading. Tang Bai could even feel an inexplicable suction behind him, trying to pull him out of this space that was gradually restless and collapsed.
Tang Bai could not allow such a big risk, but his important purpose was achieved except for some ancient Egyptian spells and expulsion by the "master family". Although he did not know why Anubis did not deal with him and just expelled him, he sensitively grasped one point from Anubis's attitude, that is, Anubis had no hostility towards him.
Of course, there is no hostility and no good feelings. Otherwise, Anubis would not have ignored Tang Bai's attempt to stay.
Tang Bai was thinking about how to keep Anubis. As for other considerations, he was temporarily thrown aside. Seeing that Anubis's phantom was about to dissipate, Tang Bai, whose mind was rotating rapidly, subconsciously shouted: "Don't you want to restore your glory as a god?"
Anubis' illusory figure trembled suddenly, and then it quickly became solid again from the phantom. Tang Baiqing couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw this scene. It was obvious that his words just now were no longer ignored by Anubis.
Before Tang Bai could rest assured, an unpredictable force instantly invaded him from the darkness. That feeling was like someone was using the mind to spy on his own thoughts. Tang Bai instinctively activated the brain closure technique.
However, the brain closure technique that can easily resist an elite Death Eater's spy on his mind, under that strange force, was like a small dam trying to withstand the flood waves that were rare in a century. After just persisting for a while, he was instantly broken by that ability and flooding.
Tang Bai tried his best to maintain the brain closure technique that was on the verge of collapse. He was even flawlessly distracted and angry at Anubis who suddenly took action.
"...Single, I can't even peek into your thoughts..."
"...Is it the effect of the pocket watch on your chest?"
“…The only one who can resist the gods’ peeping is another god…”
“…”
An vague sound came faintly, and strands of sounded in Tang Bai's heart. Then, the spying energy quickly dissipated like a fading tide.
Tang Bai felt exhausted and weak.
"Now, let's prove it, how can you restore me to the glory of the past?" Anubis's voice became softer and fell into Tang Bai's ears.
"I can help you build a powerful empire in this world that believes in you and respects you." Tang Bai suppressed his surging mood and kept himself calm.
"Not worth a penny." (To be continued.)
