Host, Please Be Honest! What Exactly Are You?

Chapter 500 Too Prepared!

Too late!

In just this minute, many forgot how to breathe, staring, finding their brains were now empty.

But the fun was just getting started.

Booboom!

A loud sound quaked the air with a disturbing menace, causing everyone to stand hunched back with their hands and feet spread apart.

Oh My God of science!

The walls now began shrinking, as though closing up, and heaps of sand from who knows where slowly filled the scene.

Gritting his teeth, Harvey\'s mind went to work real fast.

"Doc! Everyone! Run! Run out quickly! The door is sealing itself!"

What?!

Although it didn\'t look like the door was slowly closing from where they stood, everyone chose to believe Harvey\'s hawk eyes.

No way!

They must run back the same way they came if they don\'t want to be buried alive.

"Quickly, grab him and let\'s go!" Harvey gestured at the man who took hold of the coin.

They don\'t know why, but the man suddenly fainted the moment he touched the coin.

Could it be that some deadly poison has been placed on the coin?

"Care! Care! Hold him by his clothes and avoid his hands and the coin. I suspect it\'s poisoned."

Poison? Really?

Many locals felt their heart jerk severally, now too scared to hold their passed-out comrade.

"Grab him, Goddammit!" Harbey bellowed.

Amazing!

It was amazing that even though they didn\'t understand Harvey\'s language, they understood his underlying message.

1, 2, 3! They grabbed him by the clothes, dragging him out as fast as they could.

That\'s it! That\'s it! They can make it.

So Harvey thought.

Only… halfway through, several people stepped on several large stone tiles, only to realize there were still more traps in the space.

.

AHHHHHHHH!!!

"What the--"

Harvey looked back to see the massive stone square suddenly swirl, dropping 2 locals down to who knows where.

When everyone imagines a trap door on the wall, the trapdoor would be a rotating trap door.

Likewise on the ground, that massive square rotated on its axis, using the weight of any object input to propel and rotate even more.

Harvey didn\'t know where the 2 unfortunate locals had dropped to, but he knew it wasn\'t anything good after hearing sharp protective noises and ghostly cries from them below.

From the sounds he had a hunch that there should be ancient spikes down there waiting to greet who fell.

Before, the trap wasn\'t activated.

Even without the spikes the amount of sand dripping in should bury them alone in no time.

Suffocating on sand... with oxygen depleting by the second.

... What a gruesome way to die.

Feeling his ball roll up and down his throat, Harvey knew they were dead after hearing the many puncturing sounds made by the spikes below.

"Careful, everyone, choose your steps wisely!"

Looking at the priceless artifacts lined up on the stands around them, Harvey was once again certain touching any of these artifacts would trigger more horrors for them.

Booboom! Buboom! Booboom! Booboom!

Ashaku heard the sounds of the room closing him, hastening his pace as he steadily followed behind Harvey.

Harvey again chose to be the tester, picking what giant squares were safe, and his men chose to stand behind the group, helping others move along.

With chaos all around them, they had no time to dilly-dally and slowly pick which ones were safe.

It\'s either they run full speed ahead or they will never make it to the closing door in time.

By the way, who knows what other horrors will meet them once trapped in this space?

Well, apart from being suffocated to death by the sands slowly filling the space, Ashaku guessed that the walls would indeed close up, but wouldn\'t go past the artifacts lines in 2 columns at the center of the room.

However, with the sand filling the space, the place would no doubt turn into a pool of sand, making breathing harder.

If someone accidentally knocks out another artifact, who knows what sequel they will unleash next?

.

Son of a b**ch!

Ashaku and many others cursed Hotanzi under their breath for all the precautionary steps he took to secure his tomb\'s safety.

At some point, the ancient architects who made the place had to be annoyed too, right?

Well, it\'s said after the tomb was made, everyone who worked on it, including slaves, was killed.

Hotanzi didn\'t immediately enter his tomb but continued reigning for another year and a half, making sure he tied up all loose ends.

Before killing the workers, of course, he had them secretly transport his treasures here.

The man made as many preparations as he could before eventually entering the tomb.

Of course, his beloved had already passed, proclaimed dead according to the history books.

But who knows if he kept her in the tomb to wait for his return until he got things straightened out?

Still... the history books were sure ger illness had returned since so many physicians had diagnosed it during that period.

So she probably died around the time they said she would.

Well, all these many mysteries will only be confirmed when they find her tomb and corpse, taking it away for carbon dating to know exactly when she passed.

wm

Why? Do you think they will be scared of his death threats and never enter after so many higher-ups have invested a lot in this matter?

Even if it\'s not them, some other team will enter to do what they are supposed to do.

Bottom line, Hotanzi\'s tomb must be raised!

-----

Leaping forward, Harbey gritted his teeth and instantly knew he made the wrong call.

"Leftenant!"

Ahsaku responded fast.

"Got you!"

Phew~

Harvey was saved, holding onto Ashaku\'s jacket.

Grunting his teeth, Ashaku and several others pulled the other end of the jacket as fast as they could.

And when Harvey\'s hands touched the edge of the square\'s open space, everything could finally Relax a bit.

However, just then... their communication devices suddenly turned static, and the camera was no longer picking up feed.

"Doc, I have a bad feeling about this."

Almost instinctively, Harvey turned his head, slowly looking behind them, only to see the most ugly and terrifying thing he had ever seen in his life.

This... this... this...

MONSTER!
