I Can’t Explain This. My Novel On Relics Became Reality

Chapter 27: The Pharaoh May Be A Monster!

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Due to the army and the new excavation team’s addition, huge lifting devices were erected in front of the big hole in less than a quarter of an hour.

These devices were supposed to be used by the army because the state had entrusted this task to Feissel this time. Thus, he had the right to special transfer.

Feissel’s team had a total of seven people.

Among them were several of his students and a tall, strong man.

This man looked like he had been exposed to the wind and the sun. His fierce expression did not make him look like an intellectual at all.

Ian immediately sensed that. This was a soldier disguised as part of the archaeological team. He did not know whether the Egyptian government was sent to protect Feisel’s team or to supervise them.

Of course, Ian did not expose this point.

The Feissel team members finished checking the lifting rope knots on their bodies.

Aika also checked her own things.

In addition to some conventional tools, there was also an “extra tool” that Ian asked her to bring. He had said it might be used down there.

Aika naturally listened to Ian.

At this time, the team was divided into two groups.

There were seven people in total—five people from Feissel’s team and Ian and Aika.

At this time, Professor Feissel gave everyone a pill that could prevent hypoxia.

Then he put on the gas mask.

It was safe to go further in.

The seven people went down in turns.

Ian was still the first to go down. He used his crowbar to pry open the stone door.

When Professor Feisel saw that there was such a huge stone door underground, he could not help but show a happy expression.

Ian looked at his expression and said solemnly, “There will be danger inside. You must listen to the command, understand?”

Feisel’s student immediately retorted an unfriendly tone, “You’re just a guide. Just do your job well.”

“I’ve said what I wanted to say. Whether you listen or not is up to you.”

Aika also activated the live stream equipment to record the surrounding environment.

Back then, Ian had put in a lot of effort in order to open the door.

Now, with the cooperation of a few people, a large gap was immediately opened.

When everyone arrived at the hall behind the stone door and saw the floor full of white bones, their eyes were filled with shock.

These white bones seemed to belong to slaves or prisoners.

Many of Feissel’s team members were still students and had not experienced so much.

Aika and Feissel naturally did not feel much fear.

The underground mausoleum full of skeletons in Paris, France, was much scarier than this.

These students had never seen so many bones, so they were so scared that they could not speak.

Wherever Feissel went, they followed. They didn’t dare to take a single step further.

Aika looked at the dried-up corpses and sighed. “How tragic. Using living people as sacrificial offerings is too barbaric.”

Ian also explained, “This is where the important figures were sacrificed. These people were criminals. They needed to be tied up in the desert and die of thirst. They needed to be completely dried before they could reach here. Then, they would use the blood of the animals they killed to drench these mummies.”

Such a bloody ceremony immediately made the people in the live stream room nauseous.

Although they could not see the scene, they could experience the strange bloody scene thanks to Ian’s narration.

“F*ck! This is too barbaric and cruel! Where is the ancient civilization that we talked about?”

“Don’t be too naive. In human history, many dynasties were filled with blood and violence. It’s just that modern civilization has allowed you to live well.”

“I was originally looking forward to these scenes, but now I can’t see anything. I can only hear words and get angry!”

“…”

As Feisel’s team gradually advanced, they also discovered the double-ring relief stone that Ian had just cleaned up.

Feisel immediately called for the others to pull up the stone slab.

Seeing those students trembling all over, Aika could not help but laugh.

Feisel scolded them angrily, “You kids! You’re too timid. If you continue like this, you won’t be archeological material!”

Aika took the gripper from a student and worked together with the tall team member to pull away the stones on the ground.

After that, she installed a military-grade strong light, illuminating everything below. There was an open stone box at the bottom. Inside the box was a mummy that had been there for God knew how many years.

Next to the mummy was the strange snake that Ian had killed earlier.

This new discovery made Professor Feisel extremely excited!

This was their important breakthrough to Egyptian civilization!

His eyes lit up in excitement. He put on his gas mask and was the first to jump down. He looked like a lively monkey.

The professor’s students also went down to the tomb on the ground floor.

When they looked around, they could not help but exclaim.

The four walls of the tomb were all beautifully drawn.

When Professor Feisel saw one of them, he was also very excited.

“What’s recorded here is all related to ancient Egypt!”

Ian also followed them, leaving a student to guard the rope.

Ian saw Professor Feisel looking at the murals in the tomb again, but he did not move the coffin in the middle.

He was slightly relieved.

He was too afraid that someone would poke a strange snake’s nest again.

He also looked around vigilantly, holding the shovel tightly in his hand.

Professor Feisel and his students were desperately taking pictures of the murals with their cameras.

Although this would damage the lifespan of the murals to a certain extent, they currently had to preserve first-hand information.

At this time, Aika also walked to the side of the murals. After looking at them carefully for a long time, she suddenly said to Ian, “These murals are so strange. Look at the subjects in this painting hiding in the corner to peek at the pharaoh’s face. This pharaoh only has his back turned in all the paintings, not even a positive description. It’s like… There’s no face…”

As Ian listened to Aika’s analysis, he touched his chin and thought.

In his novel, the protagonist had finally reached the place where the pharaoh was buried.

However, he had not seen the real pharaoh.

Ian wanted to write the pharaoh’s story as a separate one.

Generally speaking, these kinds of delicate murals would definitely depict the ruler vividly.

People could get the most direct feeling through the murals, a clear understanding of the time and figures in the painting.

However, the pharaoh’s portrait did not depict his face from beginning to end.

Generally speaking, there were only two possibilities.

One was that the pharaoh did not want to capture his face on it for future generations to admire.

Then there was another possibility.

Ian took a look at the murals.

‘This pharaoh… has no face…’

Aika was confused and wanted to ask in detail, but she heard Ian continue. “This pharaoh… is a monster.”

“!!!”

Everyone who heard it was shocked!
