Chapter 15 Beckham's Crisis!

It's a story again. Beckham hates listening to stories now.

From the beginning of the incident until now, he has listened to several stories, but every story brings a tragedy, and he can't stand it.

The man in front of him did not pay attention to him, but spoke directly.

"A long time ago, there was a race living under the sea. They had a long life, but they could not see the sun all year round, so they longed to live under the sun, and they worshipped the sun. They tried to rush out of the sea again and again, but because something seemed to restrict them, they always returned to no use. As if they were imprisoned, they couldn't stand it. Finally, after many generations of efforts, a great king appeared. He held a scepter and led the warriors to break the confinement and appeared on the sea.

"However, no one thought that the object they had been worshipping was a symbol of their demise. When the first ray of sunlight shines on them, they find that they can't live in direct sunlight due to physical reasons. Some people's bodies begin to change, their skin begins to festate, and some people even become dry skins because of dehydration. However, when they found all this, it was too late. They could no longer move. In the end, they could only lose their vitality and sink into the sea one by one.

"However, the great king did not regret it, because he saw the world outside the sea, where there were mountains and rivers, green and bright red, which was a different environment and the place he longed for. He was unwilling to live on the bottom of the dark forever, so he blessed his weapon before his death and vowed: 'If someone finds that weapon at the bottom of the sea and brings it back to the palace, his clan will no longer be afraid of the sun, and that person will gain incomparable wealth in the community.' A legend was born like this, and I don't know why it spread to the land, and people began to go to sea to look for that weapon.

Hearing this, Beckham laughed: "There are too many such legends, otherwise the people who make up mythical stories will starve to death."

In fact, although Beckham doesn't care on the surface, he is very nervous inside. He knew that the other party would not talk about irrelevant myths and legends on such an occasion. Since he said it, there was a certain reason.

He is afraid to hear more, which will cause him trouble. So he quickly interrupted with a cold joke.

"Oh? Do you even think this is nonsense?" The other party's tone was full of suspicion.

The man smiled and said slowly, "Don't deceive yourself. In fact, you should understand when you see this portrait, don't you?"

The smile on Beckham's face gradually solidified.

Suddenly, the light in the room went out, and the white light was replaced with orange, which looked much darker than before.

"This is not an ordinary mural." With that, the man gave up a position, and the whole mural embedded in the wall began to change. The three-dimensional sense was extremely strong, as if he had come back to life in an instant.

"When the light changes, the picture will also change, that is, the scene you see now." The man looked at Beckham with a smile.

Xiao Bei has been completely shocked. Yang Yu and Liu Xin also looked at Xiao Bei, wondering why Xiao Bei looked so unnatural.

Beckham's body trembled, and bean-sized sweat instantly covered his forehead.

I'm afraid he will never forget that painting.

Some things have been buried in the bottom of your heart and deliberately forgotten by yourself. Once it appears again, the feeling will be ten times larger than before. Beckham thought she had got rid of the nightmare, but it turned out that it was just self-deception.

Because of the change of the painting.

Beckham finally knows why there is a familiar feeling when she sees the statue in the fountain outside.

A pair of faint green pupils appeared in the helmets of the two golden warriors on the wall portrait and gradually burned.

The nightmare that seemed to have left returned in an instant, and the ghost appeared in Beckham's mind, making him unable to move.

What those eyes brought to Beckham was an indelible deep impression. No one would imagine the feeling that she had been having the same nightmare every day for 20 years. When she thought she had returned to normal life, she suddenly appeared in front of you.

Yes, it's the nightmare. The ghost fire-like green light lingers in his mind, and he will always remember it.

It turned out that the feeling of seeing the statue was because of this.

The statue is gray marble with no color.

Now the portrait on the wall has changed due to changes in light, and the golden armor reflects the green pupils, finally waking Beckham.

"Twenty years ago, I participated in an expedition with an adventurous team. Our destination was the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean, and that trip was called - looking for 'Atlantis'!" The man raised his head and closed his eyes gently, as if he were recalling.

The sound of the harp began to become rapid.

"Think about it, a group of hot-blooded young people, with countless fantasies, went deep into the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean to find a legend that was about the same as non-existent. They never thought how dangerous it would be. But I have to admit that many successful adventurers have succeeded with this mood. Good luck has accompanied us to find a magnificent palace, which is amazingly beautiful. The whole palace glowed with golden light, like gold, shining so brightly that we couldn't open our eyes under the mask.

His expression was intoxicated, but Beckham's clothes on his back had been wet with sweat.

Things will not be so simple. Beckham can already foresee that he will have a big trouble, but he can't avoid this big trouble.

"Do you know? It turned out that Atlantis really existed, and I was shocked at that time and even forgot where I was. The story I told before was told by an old man of my colleague. He is a senior adventurer who is keen on sailing and likes to look for all kinds of rumors. And when I saw the palace under the sea with my own eyes, I realized that we succeeded. But good luck left quietly at this time.

The expression on the man's face became frightened in an instant, and he recalled terrible things.

"Suddenly, a creature I had never seen swim out. I don't know where it came from. We were all intoxicated with the dreamy world and didn't notice it when danger came. It is like a legendary dragon. Its huge volume covers the light emitted by the searchlight. I see a long beard floating in the water, with a sea monster-like dorsal fin on its back, extending to its tail. The sharp teeth that could break gravel and gold bit the submarine in one bite, and the sea surged unscrupulously. We fled quickly in wetsuits with oxygen cylinders on our backs, but the old explorer who told me a story was bitten in two.

The man's face was hurt, and his face was even paler.

"We were forced to enter the palace, and the inside was more beautiful than outside, but the danger at that time did not allow us to think about anything, and we could only keep going inside. The submarine was smashed by a huge tail, but for some reason, after we entered the palace, the sea monster stopped attacking and quietly retreated away with awe. At this time, we dare to look around."

"The carving there is more amazing than any sculptor in history. The relief on the wall seems to be smooth and delicate after being continuously impacted by the sea. But do you know that the whole palace is empty and desolate? If prehistoric civilization really exists, where did the people in it go? I think of that legend again. Has everyone in it landed on land?

"Suddenly, someone pushed open a door, and I will never forget the scene inside. Guess what's in it?" He opened his eyes and resisted Beckham.

Beckham didn't say anything, waiting for his follow-up.

"There are corpses inside! Perhaps more accurately, they are all sea people who have turned into statues! Just like the legend, some of them have a humanoid figure in their upper body and a huge fish tail in their lower body. They curl up, stand upright, raise their hands devoutly over their heads, and surround them in a circle, surrounded by a huge circle. We walked inside with shock and curiosity and found that some of them had evolved into different from human beings, but there were fins and strands on our hands and feet.

Beckham glanced at the mural on the wall again and suddenly her pupil contracted.

Whether it is the golden armored warrior or the king holding the gem scepter, there seems to be something connected between their fingers.

Beckham has vaguely guessed.

"In the middle of the circle, there is a shelf made of crystal with a weapon lying quietly. It is a gorgeous weapon, about one person tall, made of pure gold, with the unique luster of metal, which looks extremely noble in that scene! The accident happened. When I walked up and wanted to touch it, the ground suddenly collapsed and became a movable secret door. I fell in.

"I fell and fainted, and the people outside didn't know what happened. Yes, I was separated from them. I don't know how long it took for me to wake up. It's not surprising that my eyes are all made of crystal and full of treasures, is it? This is a palace piled up with wealth!"

The man's face returned to normal. He looked at the people who listened to him with satisfaction and continued: "What really surprised me is that there is also a huge coffin inside, all made of crystal, on a very high platform hundreds of meters away from me. Because the distance is too far, I didn't see what was in it. The surrounding crystal walls were engraved with words, dense, but very beautiful. Unfortunately, I don't understand the words above. Fortunately, in addition to words, everyone seems to like to describe it with murals. It turns out that the huge crystal coffin above is the king who led the warriors to rush out of the sea and died.

"His body was recovered by a human who accidentally found it, and the one above was the weapon he had blessed and thrown to the bottom of the sea. You must have doubts now. Since the weapon has been recovered, why hasn't that oath been fulfilled?

In fact, Beckham is also thinking about this question now, but he is more curious about why all the sea people have been turned into statues. He doubts the authenticity of the story.

Yang Yu suddenly laughed out loud.

The man looked at him strangely, but he laughed even more.

"Do you still need to ask? If there is really a curse or something, it's a big joke! Species can exist, but this kind of thing can only be a legend!"

"No, it's not." The man looked serious and said solemnly. Because although these things exist, the story is false and a lie. What he left behind was not a blessing but a curse. He cursed the sun. As long as all those who touched his things appeared outside the sea again and were illuminated by the light, they would become monsters. And he left a message.

"What are you talking about?" Beckham raised his head and asked.

"If you want to untie the curse, you need a person representing the sun to be killed by his weapon. When blood drops on the coffin, he will resurrect to lift the curse and gain the right to eternal life. I think you already know my purpose, don't you?" The man laughed strangely.

"Is the weapon on the shelf a trident fork?" Xiao Bei sighed quietly.
