Lord of Secrets

Chapter 385 384. City of the Dead

The City of the Dead.

The moment he pushed open the door, his consciousness flashed and he entered the City of the Dead, a claustrophobic space with dark green ghost fire.

Mummies moved slowly one by one.

They wandered in the City of the Dead.

And, a door that spread to the empty sky came into Ubemo's eyes. It seemed to be in the distance, at the very center of this space.

Ubemo immediately hid his figure.

But when he got closer to the door, he suddenly heard a murmur:

"The living are not allowed to cross this door!"

The mummy's jaw opened and closed, as if whispering.

The countless whispers gathered, with great majesty.

Along with it, the towering door was slowly pushed open, and a towering figure walked out of the door.

——Anubis.

Human body, jackal head, this is definitely the image of Anubis.

Ubemo was no longer too surprised by this.

The murals on the Kukulkan Pyramid depict a civilization similar to the ancient Egypt in the previous life, not the origin of the name - Maya.

It seems that in this world, the two images of the God of Death may not point to the same God of Death, but there seems to be some connection. He knows that there are definitely some unknown secrets in it.

Perhaps, the God of Death was not the same one before.

Just like the sun god, after the eternal sun falls, the light of the glorious sun shines on the earth.

"Living, verify the truth of your soul."

Anubis held the scepter and stared at Ubermo.

Looking at each other across the stone platform, Ubermo looked directly at Anubis, and the corner of his eye flashed, and then a dagger suddenly appeared in his hand.

- Then, he gritted his teeth, cut his chest, and removed his heart.

The heart in Ubermo's hand was beating vividly, and bursts of heartbeats echoed in this quiet space.

"Take it..."

He said weakly with a pale smile on his face, holding his body without a heart.

As if the heart was just a thing.

Immediately, the scepter in Anubis's hand tapped the ground lightly, making a crisp knocking sound.

On the huge stone platform in front of him, a scale appeared, and a feather that was originally on the long stone platform suddenly appeared on the right end of the scale.

The feather of truth named "Mat".

Ubermo's heart fell on the other side.

At this time, Anubis said in a low and deep voice: "Dead, tell me your name."

Hearing this, Ubermo's pale face immediately hung a meaningful smile.

He said: "Amon-Ra Osiris!"

However, Anubis seemed to have no strangeness on his face, as if it was a formula.

He said to Ubermo:

"Dead, I ask you to answer."

"Go ahead..."

Ubermo put away the smile on his face and said calmly, not worried about what to do with himself who lost his heart.

"First question, are you guilty?"

The voice with vast majesty resounded in the City of the Dead, and no one could lie in front of Him.

"I am innocent!"

Ubermo said without hesitation.

-The belief from the "innocent".

At this time, the scale did not change.

"Second question, why did you die?"

Anubis still had the same expression on his face for thousands of years, serious and indifferent.

"I want to pursue death."

Ubermo continued.

He did come for death, but not to die, but to control the method of death.

The scale still did not change.

"Third question, what do you want?"

Ubermo looked directly at Anubis and said in a deep voice:

"What I want is the truth of the soul, to control death, and to cross the boundary between life and death."

As his voice fell, the City of the Dead became quiet.

After a long time, Anubis tapped the ground again and said, "Living, there is only one master in the underworld. Push open the gate of the underworld."

After saying that, he turned his body sideways, like a stone statue.

At the same time, the heart on the scales returned to Ubermo's body, allowing it to beat again.

Ubermo looked at the door in front of him that led to the edge of darkness, walked forward slowly, and then stretched out his hand to push it open.

But the door stood still.

Anubis stopped talking, as if watching Ubermo embarrassed himself.

Ubermo recalled the other's words and suddenly noticed something.

——"There is only one master in the underworld."

So, he lowered his hand, looked up at the door, and said, "In the name of Osiris, the king of the underworld, I decree to welcome your master."

The plain voice echoed in the city of the dead.

It was full of great majesty, as if it was the words of the king of the underworld.

After only a moment, a buzzing sound sounded, the earth trembled slightly, the door opened slightly, darkness spread, death swarmed out from inside, and instantly enveloped Ubemo.

In the blink of an eye, Ubemo returned to the Kukulkan Pyramid.

He opened his eyes and sorted out the information in his mind.

In fact, at the beginning, when he saw the murals in the Kukulkan Pyramid, he vaguely guessed what he might encounter.

Bar Book 69 New

The mummy, plus the feathers left on the long stone altar, made him more certain of some guesses, and he had more understanding of the revelation on the death card.

"In the city of the dead,

"Pursue the truth of the soul,

"Achieve death and rebirth."

There is a prerequisite for this, and that must be death.

The feather on the feldspar altar, plus the appearance of Anubis, reminded Ubermo of the feather of truth named "Mat".

"Weighing on the scales" is a ceremony presided over by Anubis, comparing the weight of the heart and the feather. Only if the heart is not heavier than the feather can one go to the underworld and gain eternal life.

This is - achieving death and rebirth.

So, is it active death or passive death?

There is a trap in this regard.

The people who make these puzzles will never set up a link that "whether you choose or not, you will proceed to the next step".

That would be meaningless.

So, once you are given death by Anubis, you may fail.

After all, if you are given death by the god of death Anubis, it means that you are unforgivable and do not need to "weigh on the scales" to declare your innocence.

Only by actively embracing death can you enter the next link.

And Anubis's question is about whether the ceremony can be passed. Once the scales tilt towards the heart, you may really die.

This requires consideration of the second paragraph in the words of revelation.

——Pursue the truth of the soul.

Ubermo also found it difficult to interpret the meaning of this sentence, because the overview of this sentence was very vague. What is the soul and what is the truth?

"Destiny Guidance" could not give him a choice in this regard.

He had expected this long ago, otherwise, in the eyes of people like Ifides, all the secrets of the Seven Stars would no longer be secrets.

In the end, he chose to answer these questions according to his true thoughts. However, for the last question, he still took the opportunity to add the phrase "pursue the truth of the soul".

Fortunately, he succeeded.

In this, problems in every link may lead to failure. There is also the last step, the answer when pushing open the door to the underworld, which is crucial.

If the name "Osiris" is not known, then the door may not be opened, and he cannot get a complete way to death.

...

Lun Fuqin did not seem to feel the subtle atmosphere.

He then looked up at the sky and said slowly:

"What do you think of fatherly and motherly love?

"Would it feel a bit strange if they existed at the same time..."

This question seemed to come at the wrong time, giving people the feeling that someone was talking about something inappropriate in a tense atmosphere.

Lamoye was just like usual.

He never considered these brain-wrenching questions.

At this time, Tealim said: "This is all love for children, just like the Mother Goddess, who is both the father and the mother of all beings."

"I heard a story about a father who killed his wife because she took away the child's love for him. What kind of mentality is this?" Lun Fuqin looked at Qiluo, who used to be a "judge" and might be able to give him an answer.

Qiluo said directly:

"Don't you have the answer?"

Although she said so, Qiluo still added:

"That father must not have any love for his wife, so he poured everything into the child.

"He believed that he had given all his love to the child, being both a father and a mother. Therefore, the child should also give all his love back to the other person.

"But someone took away this part of love.

"He couldn't tolerate all this happening, so he killed her."

Qiluo suddenly looked at Lun Fuqin and said seriously: "This kind of case is rare. If there is, it is usually the mother who does this because they are more persistent in their love for their children."

Lun Fuqin raised his eyes and smiled. He said: "Miss Qiluo, although the time with you is somewhat pleasant, I still have to announce that it is all over."

Suddenly, La Moye said with a puzzled look:

"What is over?"

Everyone looked at La Moye in an instant, and the solemn atmosphere was instantly broken, even Lun Fuqin was a little speechless.

But La Moye really looked confused. He was definitely not pretending. He was just too careless and didn't listen to their conversation carefully.

Qiluo was not panicked by Lunfuqin's words. She said slowly, "Do you think you can handle us alone?"

Tealim quietly walked behind Qiluo, which meant that he had made a choice, and of course Lamoye followed him.

Good companions should be together.

Etro also quietly walked behind Qiluo.

Suddenly, everything was settled.

However, Lunfuqin did not retreat at all. He smiled and said:

"Do you know?

"I know more about the Pertemigas Deep than you do. Even if you and Mariz... oh, I'm wrong, his original name is Trozi, the once notorious "pirate who wiped out the whole family", you two don't know as much as I do."

He looked at Qiluo.

Everyone became slightly alert after hearing this.

Lunfuqin didn't seem to be in a hurry. He continued:

"Under this gray fog is the floating island of Raymond Gayton, Solomon's treasure. However, there is still a sea monster guarding this place. Its name is Pertemigas.

"——He is this great ocean abyss."
