In the dim corridor, although the temperature did not drop, a cold wind blew that seemed to pierce the bone marrow.
Lumian, who was in a state of mental relaxation to restore his spirituality, instantly concentrated his energy and observed the tomb chambers on the left and right sides as usual.
In fact, his first choice under conditioned reflex was to put one hand in his pocket and hold Mr. K's finger, but then he remembered that this was the Southern Continent and Mr. K would most likely not be able to sense that his fingers were being used, so he forcibly restrained his instinct. impulse.
Franka's reaction speed was not slow either. She had a palm-sized mirror in her hand at some point. Although Jenna, who was the least experienced, didn't understand what similar scene changes meant, she still intuitively thought that this was not a good thing. .
This is similar to the ghost stories some drunkards use to scare girls in bars and dance clubs!

Saliente quickly retracted his gaze from looking at the dim oil lamp. Without even looking at Lumian, he quickened his pace, passed Janna and Franka, and walked toward the open dark wooden door of the basement.
Bang bang bang!
There were slapping sounds in the tombs on both sides. It was unknown whether the lid of the sarcophagus was knocked or the heavy stone door was hit.
Saliente's expression changed, he raised his knees and ran wildly outside.
In the originally dead-silent basement, the sound of banging and banging echoed. Lumian and others followed the owner of the secret medicine store and ran towards the exit, surpassing him in a few steps.
At this moment, the dark wooden door made a rattling sound and closed at an extremely fast speed. "
Seeing this, Franka continued to run and threw the mirror in her hand out the door.
With a click, the mirror hit the completely closed dark wooden door, scattering fragments all over the floor.
Lumian and Franka stopped at the same time and turned to look at Saliente. Jenna rushed forward another two meters before she came to her senses and made the same choice.
In the unusually dim corridor, Saliente, who was wearing a gold-rimmed blue jacket, stood frozen on the spot, his pale face stained with a hint of dark green.
The banging sounds in the tomb chambers on both sides continued, echoing in the hearts of every living person here.
Salient's body trembled obviously, and he murmured:
"It's over, we're all done..."
"What happened?" Franka asked quickly but calmly.
Only by clarifying the essence of the problem can we come up with effective solutions in a short time!

Saliente seemed to have lost his soul and did not answer Franka's question. He half-repeated what he had just said: "It's over, we're dead..."
Before he finished speaking, the entire basement suddenly shook.
The green lights that had shrunk to the size of rice grains were tilting significantly in the same direction.
Saliente's face showed fear, and his voice involuntarily amplified: "It's awake! It's awake!"
"Who is it?" Jenna felt that this was scarier than all the ghost stories she had heard before, but she still pressed on and asked.
Saliente did not answer her, but still shouted: "It's awake! It's awake!"
Seeing that the owner of the secret medicine store was obviously in a bad state and seemed to be in extreme panic, Franka decisively gave up asking and took out a mirror.
She plans to use "magic mirror divination" to quickly determine the current situation.
Even if the answers obtained from divination are not clear enough and require interpretation, it is still better than knowing nothing at all!
Soon, Franka finished reciting the incantation and saw water shining on the mirror.
She was just about to organize her words, ask appropriate questions, and request corresponding answers when Lumian, who was standing silently next to her, suddenly spoke: "Did it succeed?"
"Successful, you can do divination." Although Franka was confused, she still answered very cooperatively.
Lumian suddenly smiled: "You don't need to ask questions."
Uh... Franka was stunned for a moment, and then understood what Lumian wanted to do.
At this time, there was another obvious shaking in the basement. Saliente, the owner of the secret medicine store, was so frightened that his voice became shrill: "It's coming! It's coming!

"We're going to die!"
The next second, Lumian pinched his shoulder.
At the same time, Lumian's other hand grasped Jenna's arm tightly, and Franka hooked his shoulder in a brotherly gesture.
There was a flash of light from the gaps in the clothes, and the four people appeared outside the basement, in front of the dark wooden door outlined with many occult symbols.
"It's coming! It's coming!
"We're going to die!"
Saliente was still screaming in despair.
Lumian looked at the owner of the secret medicine store and seriously considered whether to use the "Face of Nisse" to disguise himself as a mummy and scare him.
Stimulation therapy is therapy too!
Considering that he had very little spirituality left, and there was no need to expose too many abilities in front of such a stranger, Lumian finally gave up on the prank plan.
Snapped!
Jenna swung her right palm and slapped Saliente on the face, causing him to freeze and look blankly at the lady in front of him.
Franka and Lumian were both a little surprised, watching this scene silently, not knowing how to participate.
Jian Na was a little uncomfortable with the looks, and muttered: "Isn't this how we all wake up?

"My neighbor lost his temper before and this is how he woke up."
This is not really crazy. People in the factory area have their own empirical solutions, which work most of the time, but not in a few cases.
Of course, if it was her own relative, she would definitely not be able to do it and would have to ask others to help.
"Well done." Franka came back to her senses and praised sincerely.
After a few seconds, Saliente's eyes gradually became clear.
He instinctively looked around and blurted out in shock: "Are we out?
"When did we come out?"
"When you shouted 'We're going to die' we're going to die." Lumian replied in a tone that didn't deserve a beating.
Then, he raised his eyebrows and asked in a deep voice: "Who did you say is going to wake up just now?"
After Saliente's expression changed a few times, he pursed his lips and said: "A true ancient mummy.
"It sleeps on the bottom floor of the tomb and wakes up occasionally. It just woke up a few days ago. How could it wake up again so quickly..."
Under normal circumstances, the mummy "woke up" within a general range of time. According to Saliente's experience, it would have to be at least another month before it woke up next time, so it dared to take Lumian and others into the basement.
Who knew something unexpected would happen!
What factors caused the ancient mummies to wake up early? Lumian looked at Franka thoughtfully, as if asking if you should consider the real ancient mummies.
Franka understood what he meant and shook her head to express that it was not necessary.

Mummy ashes are just auxiliary materials, last year's ones can also be used, there is no need to risk dealing with that dangerous-looking monster.
Lumian looked away, endured the pain in his head, looked at Saliente, and said with a smile:
“I don’t care if I wake up as a mummy from last year or a mummy from ancient times, I only know two things;
“One, I saved you, and two, we were frightened and almost died inside.
"So, you need to give me a thank you gift and mental compensation. How much do you think it should be? Remember, I only want gold."
Thinking that he still owed Armored Shadow and Mr. Fool a total of 100,000 Firkin in gold, Lumian didn't want to miss any opportunity to save money.
Seeing that the movement behind the dark wooden door gradually subsided, Salient felt relieved, took a breath and said:
"How about 1,000 fel gold? I only have so much gold here."
He was a little distressed about the loss of money, but he felt that there was nothing wrong with what Lumian said. If it weren't for them, he would have died in the basement and become food for the mummy.
Moreover, the other party has shown considerable strength, and refusing on the spot means the risk is high.
"Okay." Lumian didn't want to beg or squeeze anything.
As the four of them walked towards the stairs leading to the warehouse, Franka lowered her left hand and let something slide silently into the shadow of the corner.
After getting gold coins, gold nuggets and gold jewelry worth 1,000 fel gold, Lumian, Franka and Janna walked out of the "Highland Secret Medicine" store.
"Tsk, after struggling for a while, not only did I get the mummy's severed hand, but I also got an extra 500 Firkin." Franka looked back at the store and sighed in a funny way.
Without waiting for Lumian to respond, she asked with a smile:

"Are you short of money again? In the past, you definitely didn't care about getting paid for saving people, whether they liked it or not."
"Have you switched to the 'spectator' path?" Lumian joked and nodded sincerely, "The special contract I mentioned requires the sacrifice of gold worth 100,000 ferkin within a period of time afterwards."
100,000 Firkin? After truly entering the world of occultism, Janna was refreshed her view of money time and time again.
As far as she knew, Ciel didn't have as much cash as she did now, and such a person dared to owe 100,000 Firkin just for a contract that allowed him to use special abilities.
Franka clicked her tongue again and asked:
"Why didn't you just 'teleport' us outside the door from the beginning? At that time, the basement door was not closed, so there wouldn't be any accidents."
"Don't you think it's cool to take action at the last moment?" Lumian asked without answering.
Of course, the real reason was that he had just acquired the ability to "travel through the spirit world" and had not developed the habit of using it subconsciously. When the dark wooden door of the basement closed, he was afraid that the last "teleportation" would fail, so he did not dare to try it rashly.
Later, Franka completed the "Magic Mirror Divination", which allowed him to confirm that the outside world could also be connected within the seal, so he made a decisive decision.
In the disbelieving voices of Franka and Jenna, Lumian rubbed his hollow and throbbing head and said: "Find a hotel, I want to take a nap and restore my spirituality."
"Okay." Franka did not rush to find the hotel, but turned into a deserted alley and took out an exquisite makeup mirror.
"What are you trying to divine?" Jenna asked curiously.
The corners of Franka's mouth turned up: "Divinate the picture reflected in my other mirror."
Seeing Jian Na's confusion, she smiled and added: Also
"I just lost a small mirror that looked like a fragment outside that basement."

After speaking, Franka touched the mirror and recited a spell.
Not long after, the mirror reflected a scene: Saliente, the owner of the secret medicine store wearing a gold-rimmed blue coat, stood in front of the dark wooden door, bent his back, and shouted in a low voice:
"Only death lasts forever!"
