Chapter Eleven: A Strange Scene

  Fang Kai's mind was greatly relieved, and he immediately calmed down, asking Joe: "Where are we now?" Joe came back to his senses, looking at Fang Kai with a complex expression: "We just entered the stone archway, and it was you who told us to rest, how...".

  Fang Kai was taken aback, thinking when did he say to take a break? But then he shook his head and didn't care about it. Anyway, nothing's wrong now. He smiled easily and said loudly: "Continue advancing!"

  The three children nodded, and the four of them tidied up their belongings a bit before continuing on their way.

  。

  Because of the lighting, they advanced relatively quickly, and the paintings on the wall no longer caught their attention. The four people pushed forward, bypassing many corners, when Fang Kai vaguely saw a white strip.

  He furrowed his brow and took a step forward, trying to get a clearer look at what it was. But just then, a burst of "ji ji" cries came from behind him, scaring him so much that he got goosebumps all over. He swallowed hard and turned around with difficulty, only to find nothing there.

  Yes, empty and hollow, nothing is left. If Zǐzi, Pàngdōng and Qiáomǔsī all disappeared, only Fāng Kǎi was left alone. This scene has returned to the moment when they first entered the golden pyramid.

  Subconsciously, he pinched his chin, but there was a kind of pain, this is not a dream!

  Because he had similar experiences, Fang Kai was not very flustered. He calmly looked around, except for the darkness, there was only a vague light mass, guarding him, which gave him some comfort.

  "Ruò zǐ, pàng dōng, qiáo mǔ sī, nǐmen zài ma?" Fang Kai asked softly, but no one responded. He raised his voice, still there was no reaction. Fang Kai realized that Ruò zǐ and the others were really gone.

  He sighed, collected his emotions, and immediately focused his attention on the white strip that was exposed at the edge of the light group. "What is this?" Fang Kai lowered his head, carefully gazing at it, and found that the color of the white strip was dark gray, with a broken edge, and there were faintly visible threads of dark red blood on it. Out of curiosity, he picked up the white strip.

  "Huh." Fang Kai pulled, but couldn't pull it off. Could it be that the white strip was tied to something behind? It was surprisingly sturdy! His curiosity grew, and with a burst of strength, he pulled again. Suddenly, a loud ripping sound of silk fabric filled the air.

  The white strip broke, and he held the broken white strip, dazed. Immediately, a dull thud came from the darkness behind the white strip. Fang Kai was shocked to see a mummy walking out. He wasn't mistaken, this mummy could actually move! "Damn!" Fang Kai cursed, the mummy swaying left and right, getting closer and closer to him.

  A musty smell wafted towards Fang Kai, and he choked. Suddenly, he remembered that the mummy had no eyes and couldn't locate him visually. So, he crouched down, trying to move away as much as possible, hoping to find a path leading elsewhere. However, just as Fang Kai bent down, the mummy turned its head, facing him directly. It was very close to Fang Kai, and his nose almost touched the white cloth on its face.

  The two people stared blankly at each other, an eerie and terrifying atmosphere lingering in the air.

  Fang Kai swallowed hard, his goosebumps rising. Subconsciously, he slowly moved his head away, but the mummy also moved its head away, scaring him so much that he didn't dare to move again. This continued for about a minute, until Fang Kai couldn't help but growl at the mummy in a low voice: "Dude, what are you trying to do?"

  Fang Kai stood up straight, with his hands on his hips. He thought the mummy would follow him and do the same action, but he was wrong.

  The white gauze wrapped around the mummy's body was of unknown length, but at this moment, it suddenly detached itself from the mummy's torso and floated to its side, wrapping into a new mummy.

  The mummy, no, it should be called a skull man, actually smiled at Fang Kai! Fang Kai rubbed his eyes to confirm that this was not an illusion, and immediately became frightened. "I've seen a ghost!" His heart was pounding rapidly, almost jumping out of his chest. This is too eerie!

  His first thought was to run away, but as soon as he took a step forward, the skeleton raised its palm and snapped its fingers. Immediately, a new mummy shot out a white strip of cloth, wrapping him up tightly. Fang Ke struggled with all his might, only to find that his whole body was wrapped tightly, and the power of the mummy wrapped in white strips was actually greater than his own! This was simply unbelievable.

  So, Fang Kai was dragged back to the skeleton's next door in a daze. For some reason, he seemed very interested in Fang Kai. While stroking his chin and sizing up Fang Kai, he would occasionally let out a "tsk" of admiration. If a human were to do this, it wouldn't be funny at all, but when a skeleton did it, Fang Kai couldn't help but burst out laughing. Think about it, the skeleton already looked awkward, and now it was making such a ridiculous gesture - how could Fang Kai not laugh? He laughed so hard he almost cried.

  "Haha." Fang Kai covered his stomach, completely forgetting the situation. The skull man scratched the back of his head, then looked at Fang Kai with a dazed expression. Suddenly, he spoke: "Kaizi, what are you doing?" His voice was low, but it was like a thunderclap on a clear day, striking Fang Kai's ears and causing his laughter to stop abruptly.

  Kai Zi, Skeleton Man actually called him Kai Zi!

  And this voice, sounds just like Pang Dong's...

  Fang Kai glanced at the Skull Man, and only then did he notice that he looked a bit like Pang Dong. Fang Kai tentatively asked, "Were you calling me?" Fang Kai stared intently at the Skull Man, who rubbed his chin again and clicked his teeth: "Who else would I be calling? Didn't you sleep well?" The Skull Man stretched out his left hand to touch Fang Kai's forehead, checking if he had a fever.

  Fang Kai's body was unnatural, and he hastily shrunk his head, awkwardly saying: "You're Pang Dong, why are you 'dressed' like this?" "Nonsense, what's wrong with me? Why are you talking like that?"

  The skull man lowered his head, looked at his body, and then raised it again. Fang Kai was taken aback, took out a mirror from the multi-dimensional bag, and handed it to the skull man: "Take a look at yourself in the mirror."

  The skeleton took the mirror and placed it flat on his hand, leaning his head close to the glass. Fang Kai yawned, really looking forward to seeing the fat man's shocked expression. However, for a long time, there was no sound of the skeleton's panic coming out. Fang Kai was stunned, patted the skeleton's shoulder blade, and whispered: "Are you scared? Honestly, I'm also scared..."

  However, Skull hadn't even finished saying the word "jump" when he spoke up: "What's so scary? My face doesn't have anything strange on it, I'm still as suave as ever." Skull held a mirror and had an air of admiring himself. But Fang Ke was shocked.

  He hastily brought his face close to the mirror and saw an unbelievable scene.

  In the mirror, it was actually Fat Dong's face! Fang Kai looked at Fat Dong in front of him again and found that he still had a skull body. His heart suddenly surged with a thousand waves. Fang Kai trembled and pointed at the mirror, unable to say anything.

  Why is it like this? What's going on?!

  Fang Kai shook his head and asked the skull man urgently, "You, why did you make yourself into a mummy?" The skull handed the mirror back to Fang Kai, and its head wobbled before hanging down again, as if organizing its words. Fang Kai paced back and forth beside it, thinking about the ins and outs of the situation, but found himself in a state of confusion.

  After a few minutes, Fat Dong finally lifted his skull, and his teeth clicked up and down: "After the time-space shuttle crashed, I fainted. When I woke up again, I found myself being thrown here, wrapped in white gauze. Later, I saw you. Well, Kezi, you're really funny, staring at me stupidly all the time." The skull man chuckled, looking quite comical.

  However, Fang Kai was so frightened that he couldn't speak. If what the fat Dong in front of him said was true, then who was the fat Dong who had been fighting alongside him all along? And was this fat Dong in front of him, who looked like a skull person, really the real fat Dong? Suddenly, Fang Kai remembered that when he saw Fat Dong in the desert just now, his expression and behavior were a bit strange, but at that time, the sand scorpion group happened to appear, and under the urgent situation, he could only put down these doubts. Now thinking about it, there are indeed many suspicious points. However, this also cannot prove that the fat Dong is fake... Thinking about it, Fang Kai felt that things suddenly became confusing and unclear.

  Is what the fat Dong in front of me saying trustworthy? Who is the real fat Dong? What is the purpose of the fake fat Dong? Where have Ruo Zi and Qiao Mu Si gone to?
