Chapter 16 - CH 15:

Seeing that no one wanted to continue asking he decided to spin a lottery and called system in his head.

[System, come out] said Ajay

[Yes host, what is it?] replied system.

[System, quick spin the lottery wheel] said Ajay.

[Yes host] replied system.

The system then opened the lottery wheel with the same color as before, then the lottery wheel spun from black-purple-yellow-white-gold-black-purple-yellow. Finally stopping at yellow Ajay wanted to know what the system will give as a reward for being an uncommon.

[Ding, congratulations host for acquiring yellow reward

]

Seeing this, his lips twitched but thought it was better than what he got these past few days. Then thinking about these things, he couldn't help but sigh.

[Okay, host] replied his system.

]

Seeing his status and inventory, he felt only except for 950 shop points, Twin dragon fangs(daggers), lucky ring and Ak-47. These few were the only useful items in his inventory as for the other those were just daily necessity and sighed again helplessly.

Ajay closed his status and looked at the group "Now then let's put all that aside and then continue our exploration. And also, I have a hunch that we may find something important that will definitely kill us" said Ajay with a smile.

Hearing that all four of them had tick marks on their heads mainly on Eve and Sofia. Before Sofia can say anything.

"No, we are not going to do any dangerous things." Said Eve while Sofia nodding her head.

"Yes, no dangerous adventures" said Oconnell.

"Yes yes, no dangerous works." Said Jonathan.

Hearing their words, Ajay clicked his tongue and said "Tch~ you guys have no sense of adventures fun."

Hearing this, Eve turned towards him and repraimed him.

"No way we are having fun here." Said Eve sternly to Ajay stopping him from causing trouble.

"Fine fine, I am just kidding. Don't be serious Okay?" said Ajay.

"Hmm… Okay" said Eve after staring at Ajay.

then they placed their tents and slept there.

Then the next Day arrived.

"Now then, how about we start our exploration?" said Eve turning to all.

"well ok" said everyone.

Using the rope, Eve and others climbed down the rope one by one and came to underground.

"Wow, what a wonderful place." Said Ajay

"Ajay don't make trouble and follow behind me" said Eve.

Hearing this Ajay smiled and said "Ok" and followed behind her.

Although everyone heard that, no one cared about it even Jonathan since he knew both of them like each other, none of them confessed to other.

While Eve and Ajay are in front followed by Sofia, Jonathan and finally Oconnell. In underground chambers, they came to a place where many symbols of ancient are present in the wall that indicates that there are tressures in it.

And then at the same time, they heard the sounds of foot steps and all of them became alert and then Oconnell and Jonathan pointed at the footsteps and then what came into their view was the same group of Americans with guns pointed towards them after a second of silence.

"We came here first you can go somewhere else." Said an American pointing a gun showing a shot guns.

"I think you don't have eyes, we came first" said Oconnell.

"We have more guns" said Americans.

Seeing this farce "I have an even bigger gun, now you can fuck off we came here first" said Ajay irritated surprising everyone.

Ajay took out the Ak-47 from the inventory and pointed it at Americans. Seeing the gun both the American group and Ajay's group all looked surprised.

All thought 'where the heck did this guy took that gun out from.' But all stayed silent while the Americans still pointing their guns at them.

Although Ajay can take them all down, he was worried that his group will be harmed and he doesn't want to joke around with lives of Eve and others.

Eve observed that there is an underground chamber beneath it and thought about something "you can take this place, we have somewhere else to go" said Eve dragging Ajay and Oconnell.

Seeing Eve and others leaving Jonathan and Sofia hurriedly followed. The place now being occupied by the Americans, the continued their work.

After leaving that place, Eve took everyone to the underground chamber and observed the surroundings and did not find anything. Since they did not find anything, they decided to take a rest for a while and continue their search.

Then Eve, Oconnell and Sofia were talking about mummies, there at some point Jonathan having nothing to do he was playing around, he then triggered a trap mechanism and a big coffin fell from the ceiling.

Seeing this impressed by Jonathan "wow Jonathan, you are great you made my dream come true. You said no dangerous work, now see what you have done" said Ajay pointing to a coffin.

Hearing what Ajay said all chose to ignore it and then focused their attention on the coffin and while observing it "this must be the coffin of a very important person to be buried deep in here" said Sofia pointing towards the coffin and looking at her group.

Observing the coffin "what is the meaning of this?" asks Oconnell while pointing towards the words on the coffin.

"This means 'he who shall not be named'" said Eve.

"Can we open this?" asked Jonathan.

"yes we can, but it will take at least five days of work" said Oconnell.

"No need for waiting all that long" turning towards Eve "Eve open with your key" said Ajay.

"What key?" said Eve unknowingly to Ajay.

"The black box which Jonathan had stolen from Oconnell is the key for this." Ajay said while pointing towards the key mark on the coffin.

"And how do you know that?" asked Sofia

"Well I know many things, first lets open the coffin, we have other things to do." Ajay said to both Jonathan and Oconnell.

While Jonathan and Oconnell are trying to open the coffin, Ajay is in deep thought about how to kill Impotech. Because he can not trust the plot now, due to his intervention many things seems to have changed and he should also find the golden book of Amun-Ra and save those Americans.

Because if those Americans die at the hands of impotech then he will grow stronger and he cannot allow that to happen, so Ajay decided to save them and he is also easy to kill and complete the task. Just then he heard the opening sounds of coffin, Ajay came out of his thoughts.

Looking inside a coffin "hoo, there is another coffin inside this coffin?" asked Ajay feign surprise.

"Open it" said Eve eyes lit up.

Oconnell and Jonathan then opened the top of the coffin which is standing vertically and what came into their view was a skeleton with an old cotton bandages, seeing this Jonathan exclaimed in shock.

"What is this?" asked Jonathan surprised.

Looking at Jonathan like he is seeing an idiot "What else, it is an ancient mummy" said Ajay.

"Everyone see this, what is the meaning of this?" asked Oconnell while pointing towards the words which are craved inside the coffin.

"It means that 'DEATH IS THE BEGINNING TO DESTRUCTION' is what it says" said Sofia Translating the ancient words. Hearing this everyone in the group became quiet.

"How can one write in this coffin, and what is the meaning of this?" asked Oconnell.

"According to my observation, the craving of this letters it is written with finger nails from inside" said Eve while pointing some craving marks which are quite different from the words written by a tool.

"What you mean to say is, this wrote it?" said Oconnell while pointing towards the mummy.

"Yes and he was buried alive and this is not a resting place. If my guess is correct, it is a punishment place for sinners" said Eve.

All of them in the group looked towards the mummy and eerie music played on the back ground and all of them has sweat forming on their foreheads and of course except for Ajay and seeing this, Ajay chuckled inwardly and broke the silence bringing them back to the main topic.

"Now everyone can you please listen to me for bit?" said Ajay.

Hearing this everyone woke up from their stupor and looked at Ajay.

"What do you want to say?" asked Eve.

"Do you know where the Anubis statue is?" said Ajay.

"Yes, what do you need it for?" said Eve.

Seeing at Eve playfully "You may not know this, at the feet of Anubis statue a golden book is said to be hidden." said Ajay.

Before anyone can say anything "really, is it made of real gold?" asked Jonathan excitedly.

"Yes, it made of absolutely pure gold." Said Ajay.

"Then what are we waiting for, let's go there right now" said Eve.

Then the group followed and came to the feet of Anubis statue and seeing the box at the feet of Anubis statue in the wall, Jonathan felt his eyes shining with money and at the same time all turned towards Ajay and thought 'how exactly did he know about this'.

"Okay then, now we should get to work. Oconnell take that box from the feet of statue." Said Ajay distracting everyone further from their thoughts.

Everyone came out from their thoughts and started doing their work except for one person and that is Sofia.

Because She didn't miss the attempt Ajay trying to snap them out from their thoughts and further asking him any questions, but she decided to respect his privacy and did not dwell in it.

Eve watched this excitedly and while everyone was working, Jonathan came to one side of the wall and saw small black beetle shaped objects and was about to touch it stopped after hearing what Ajay had said.

"Jonathan, if you wish to die you can touch it." Said Ajay looking at Jonathan playfully.

Hearing this Oconnell, Eve and Sofia all turned towards Jonathan and observed the black beetles on the wall and turned towards Ajay not knowing why Ajay had said that.

If someone had said that, he would have scoffed it and put those beetles in his pockets. But since it was Ajay who said that stopped his movement and looked at Ajay.

"What are those, and why will I die from touching them?" asked Jonathan.

"Those beetles are still alive and they eat human flesh as their food as they get into the body and they will not leave the body until the death of the body the beetle has entered" said Ajay shrugged like he is stating the facts.

Hearing this, "Aren't they just beetles? Are they really that dangerous?" asked Sofia facing Ajay and Jonathan also nodded his head hearing his cousin's question indicating him having same question.

"Yes, is what you said really true?" asked Jonathan.

Ajay smiled and said "let me put it this way, normally the beetles won't be able to survive where there is no supply of food and water. Now look at our surroundings, are there any water or greenery on the land?"

Hering this everyone understood the question and shook their heads.

"So logically these aren't normal beetles, but the beetles which have been alive for hundreds of years until now and even future. So right now they are still in deep sleep and whoever take them out from their resting positions, they are as good as dead" Ajay said to them like a teacher explaining a lesson to their students.

"How do you know all of this?" asked Eve, eyes shining because these are some information which are not even recorded in books.

"I learnt all of these from my past experiences from my adventures" said Ajay and then looked at Jonathan.

"Now back off if you want to live, and Oconnell do your work fast" said Ajay.
