The Gravekeeper Appears, System Awakens!

Vincent spoke with conviction.

But when his words fell into the ears of others, it was as if he was a lunatic.

The netizens watching the live stream burst into laughter.

"What? It'll wake up the sleeping gods? Has he read too many mythical novels?"

"He looks quite handsome. I didn't expect him to be mentally unsound."

"Indeed! It's such a shame for him to have a pretty face. But I don't think I'm in favor of excavating the Great Pyramid of Giza either. We will damage it."

"Agreed. This group of archeologists always talk about how they're unveiling the secrets of the past and researching ancient cultures. But I think they're just blatant thieves!"

"That's right. Last time, my family had a Medieval long sword, but the local experts took it away and gave us 200 euros as compensation. They even said that they would call the police if we refused to hand it over because we were hindering archaeological research."

"He's probably an Egyptian citizen. He doesn't want his national treasure to be snatched away just like that!"

At this moment, the netizens watching the live stream felt that Vincent was spouting nonsense.

They thought that he was an ordinary Egyptian citizen who wanted the excavation project to stop.

Only a small number of people disapproved of the project.

The rest were all hoping to unveil the mystery as soon as possible.

Kohler and the others also believed that Vincent was here to cause trouble. After all, ever since the excavation project was announced, there had been quite a few trouble-makers.

However, after giving them some money, these people all left happily.

After hearing Vincent's words, they instinctively thought that he was here to ask for money.

Although he felt disgusted, Kohler still smiled and explained, "Sir, the excavation of the Great Pyramid of Giza has been carefully discussed by the World Archaeological Congress and your government."

"It means that we have official permission to proceed with the excavation. If you interfere with our work, we have the right to sue you."

After that, he waved to the assistant beside him.

The assistant immediately understood and handed five hundred dollars to Vincent.

What he meant was, take the money and scram!

Otherwise, according to the relevant regulations, they could remove him from the scene by force.

With that, Kohler turned to the camera and said, "Dear audience, please judge the situation with logic, not imagination."

"Our World Archaeological Congress has obtained permission from the Egyptian authorities."

"Besides, excavating the pyramid brings only benefits and no harm at all…"

"Professor Kohler!"

"The passageway is open!"

Before Kohler could finish speaking, he suddenly heard a staff member shout from the direction of the passageway in the distance.

Hearing this, Kohler and the others' eyes lit up.

The passageway of the tomb had opened!

In other words, they could enter the tomb today.

"Professor Taylor!"

"Let's go take a look!"

Kohler hurriedly urged the archeological team to check out the situation at the passageway with him.

At the same time, the beautiful hostess immediately said to the camera, "Dear netizens, the passage of the Great Pyramid of Giza is now open!"

"Next up, we will live stream the entire excavation process of the pyramid."

As she spoke, she followed Kohler and the others forward.

But at this moment, something unexpected happened.

Just a moment ago, the sky was cloudless.

But now, it was suddenly filled with dark clouds and yellow sand.

At the same time, flocks of crows circled around the Great Pyramid of Giza.

"Caw!"

"Caw!"

"Caw!"

The scene immediately turned horrifying.

Instantly, the entire excavation team fell silent.

The netizens watching the live stream were the first to react. When they saw the strange scene in the sky, they couldn't help but comment.

"Oh my god! What's going on?"

"Crows are bad news! Could the curse be true?"

"Maybe that guy was right!"

"It's such a coincidence. Once the pyramid was opened, such a strange thing happened!"

This happened all of a sudden. The scene had appeared before them as soon as the passageway was open. How could they not over-think about it?

"P-Professor Kohler, what's going on?"

After reading the comments, the beautiful hostess couldn't help but look at Kohler and the others.

Then, she looked at the other members of the archaeological team.

Kohler had worked as an archaeologist all his life but he had never encountered such a situation.

However, he was still a firm atheist. This did not affect his confidence.

Then, he took a deep breath and pretended to be calm as he said, "It's nothing! With the coming of the rainy season, the weather in Egypt is unpredictable."

"As for crows, it might be some kind of animal behavior that hasn't been confirmed by zoologists!"

Following his words, Taylor added, "That's right. It's a rare natural phenomenon. A natural phenomenon!"

"Everyone, don't make wild guesses. There are no gods in this world."

"We must all believe in science!"

Fortunately, the majority of people nowadays were firm believers in atheism.

Moreover, now that the passageway was open, the secrets of the Great Pyramid of Giza lay right before them.

Everyone took a deep breath and gulped down a few mouthfuls of saliva. They had forgotten about the unpleasant incident just a moment ago.

But no one noticed that Vincent had disappeared at some point.

...

Inside the Great Pyramid of Giza.

The sound of water dripping onto the ground could be heard from the depths of the dark tunnel.

Drip!

Drip!

Looking at the crisscrossing footprints on the floor of the passageway, Vincent smiled helplessly. "You can't save a man who wants to die!"

"After all, it's hard to persuade a stubborn mind! You were the ones who insisted on coming in. Don't blame me for not warning you!"

Vincent took out a monocle from his trouser pocket and put it over his right eye.

Whenever he wanted to kill, he would wear his monocle.

In the darkness, his eyes were bright like torches.

Vincent could clearly see three pairs of footprints in the passageway.

It looked like they had slipped in while everyone was still in a daze just now.

These self-proclaimed adventurers were really annoying!

Instead of adventurers, they were more like grave robbers who had committed all kinds of crimes!

As for the archaeological team outside, to put it bluntly, they were also robbers. Certified grave robbers.

Just as he was wondering if he should deal with the archaeological team first or the 'adventurers' who had already entered, a notification sounded in his mind.

Ding!

"Three tomb raiders detected in the pyramid. Host, please expel or kill them as soon as possible!"

"After completing the mission, the system will grant you access to the Level 2 Merchant Shop and reward you with 10,000 merit points!"
