Ancient Tomb? No-Prison? Yes
Upon hearing Jane's request, Gideon Ross waved his hand and said:
"We shouldn't even be here."
Jane said, "My job is to make sure that anything of value doesn't fall into the hands of the enemy."
"We have no idea what's down next."
"However, Tomb of Tutankhamun alone is worth £650 million."
"Do you understand?"
Vail somewhat disappointed to hear it was Tomb of Tutankhamun, but Nick's eyes widened.
He walked up to his superior and said, "Colonel, if I can start the turboprop, we can seal this hole directly, and Miss Jane can come back another day."
"Shut up!"
"OK."
Gideon Ross looked at Jane and said, "I'll give you two hours, then we'll leave."
He then pointed to Nick and said, "You go into the cave with him."
Jane and Nick both asked the same question at the same time.
"Him?"
"Me?"
Gideon Ross replied in a serious voice, "Yes."
"You are to prepare to act. This is an order."
Vail, standing to the side, chuckled and said, "Wait for your triumphant return, Sergeant."
Nick, however, said to Vail, "Go into that damn cave, Vail."
Vail immediately made a pained expression. "Oh, man!"
In truth, he was secretly delighted. He said it on purpose, wanting to obtain firsthand intelligence about the area before S.H.I.E.L.D.. took over.
······
At this moment, Hidan and Itachi Uchiha were standing in a nearby house, watching the four people communicating below.
None of the soldiers below could detect their presence.
The two remained completely indifferent to the three people about to descend into the cave, simply observing everything with cold indifference.
If no unusual items are found, the unit will remain unharmed. However, if they do unearth any treasures with extraordinary powers, the two will enter the site to retrieve them.
At this point Jane, Nick, Vail, having secured their grappling hooks, began rappelling down into the cave below. Soon, the three of them reached the bottom of the cave using the ropes.
Jane shone her flashlight on the surrounding murals while recording her words.
Soon, Jane determined that this was a tomb, just as Jane mentioned the sun god.
Suddenly, a huge cloud of sand fell on Nick and Vail's heads.
Meanwhile, Vail and Nick started arguing, with Vail saying that the place was full of statues that couldn't be moved and there was no treasure.
Nick, on the other hand, told Vail to be quiet and not to say anything more.
Suddenly Nick felt a drop of water fall on his arm, so he picked up his flashlight and shone it overhead.
"What is this? Mercury?"
Jane walked over, saw the watermark on Nick's palm, and said, "Yes, it's mercury."
The Ancient Egypt believed that mercury could ward off evil spirits.
Nick nodded and said, "Luckily we know now that what's dripping from above is mercury, which can be deadly."
Vail chimed in, "Inhaling this stuff can drive a person insane."
Jane looked at the mercury dripping from above, then at the spot on the ground where the mercury was dripping, and immediately realized that there was a necessary connection between the two, concluding that it was a drainage system.
Following the canal system, the three arrived deep into the cave and soon came across a peculiar place.
Upon seeing the scene before her, Jane exclaimed, "OMG!"
Six Ancient Egyptian Guardian Statue appeared before me, and three iron chains hanging down from above made it seem as if something was hanging upside down from the ground.
Everything here resembled an ancient sealing ritual, Queen of Asgard, Jane came to a conclusion.
"This is not a tomb, this is a prison."
At this moment, Nick and Vail looked at the gold and silver jewelry scattered on the ground and smiled at each other.
Meanwhile, Vail and Nick secretly collected some gold jewelry and put it into their pockets.
At that moment, a voice came from Vail's walkie-talkie.
"Get out immediately. We've received word that a strong gust of wind is approaching; we have to leave."
Jane, who was standing nearby, also heard the conversation on the walkie-talkie and turned to say, "Tell the colonel that we must notify the Department of Defense Risk Reduction."
Vail asked in surprise, "What are you notifying us of?"
"I need experts in Cairo..."
Vail asked, puzzled, "Cairo?"
"We also need chemical protective suits and shielding barrels."
"Jane, "Vail explained, "We're running out of time. You'd better take what you can with you!"
"I won't leave. Let me see what's in the pool."
While the two were arguing, Nick, who was standing to the side, began to observe the transmission mechanism of the chain. After observing it for a while, he understood how it worked.
He pulled out a pistol and shot one of the chains in half.
The equipment immediately started operating, and a coffin that had been submerged in the mercury pool was pulled out.
As the coffin was pulled out, a large number of spiders immediately appeared on the cave walls and around the three people, crawling around at their feet.
One of them even climbed onto Vail and stung Vail.
Vail quickly swatted the spiders off his body, and seeing the dense swarm of spiders around him, Vail immediately raised his gun and fired.
Seeing Vail firing wildly, Nick immediately yelled in alarm for Vail to stop.
He was also afraid that bullets hitting the wall might ricochet and injure them.
Nick shouted, "Vail, it's just Camel Spider. They don't even have venom."
"Can we go now?" Vail asked excitedly.
Just as Vail and Nick were arguing, Nick looked at the Ancient Egypt coffin and immediately entered a hallucination.
She found herself in a desert, where a beautiful woman appeared and stroked her cheek, saying, "Thank you for saving me."
"You are the one I chose, Nick."
She then gave Nick a kiss, just as Jane woke Nick up.
"Nick, go and call the colonel. Have him arrange a helicopter; we need to hoist this thing up there."
"Did you hear me, Nick!"
"Go quickly."
Nick regained consciousness, but was still somewhat dazed. Nevertheless, he followed Jane's instructions and went to notify his superior.
Outside the cave, Hidan, looking at the large number of Crow that had appeared around him, asked Itachi Uchiha, "Suzaku, did you summon these Crow?"
Clearly, in Hidan's memory, Itachi Uchiha was also a master of using Crow, being very skilled at Crow Clone, Crow Genjutsu, and so on.
Uchiha watched as people below began busily preparing to use a helicopter to haul the contents of the cave up, and shook his head, saying:
"I didn't summon these Crow; their appearance has nothing to do with me."
However, at this moment, Itachi Uchiha was pondering the reason for the appearance of these Crow.
After all, a large number of Crow don't appear out of thin air; the scene before them seemed to be foreshadowing something.
Could it be...?
