Chapter 5
Warning of Death

【Inside the study, Gwen stretched her body for a while, then walked to the bookcase not far away where the materials were stored, and began to search for the relevant documents she needed.

But in this silent night, a strange figure appeared quietly.

He wore a white, eerie mask, and silently climbed up the winding ivy on the walls of the university building, finally stopping his climb when he was close to the floor where the archaeology research room was located.

Then, the mysterious figure quietly opened the curtains and, like a nimble leopard, agilely leaped into the study.

Throughout the process, he made no sound at all and walked step by step towards Gwen, who was intently searching for materials, giving the impression that a bloody murder was about to take place in the scene.】

Seeing this.

Many kindhearted people in the real world couldn't help but worry.

They feared that the blonde beauty who seemed to have stepped out of a fairy tale would die at the hands of this mysterious climber.

George Stacy, who was driving his police car towards New York State University, instantly showed a furious expression.

He vowed that if anything happened to his beloved daughter on the screen, he would make this climber pay the price in blood.

Under such worried and angry gazes, the screen continued to play the subsequent video.

【As the mysterious climber was about to touch Gwen, a crisp voice suddenly rang out.

“While I would love to say it’s been a while, I still hope you can break this bad habit and stop coming through the window in the future, Reed.”

“Oh, you caught me…”

Reed, wearing the eerie mask, shook his head and argued, “It’s not my fault, there’s ivy growing all over the walls of the teaching building, and no one has come to clear it, it’s like inviting others to climb, isn’t it?”

“Come on, everyone knows that the school wouldn’t possibly send out such an invitation, you’re the one getting scolded if you do this.” Gwen sighed without turning around, then continued to search for materials, replying as she did so.

“Sorry, sorry, and look at this.”

Hearing this, Reed scratched the back of his head in embarrassment, then took off his eerie mask and changed the subject, saying, “This is a warding-off souvenir I specially brought back for you from Indonesia, it’s said to be an ancient mask specially crafted by the Korowai people to ward off evil.”

“Humph, another strange thing added to the collection.”

Turning her head, Gwen glanced at the mask in Reed’s hand, smiled, then walked towards her own seat with the materials in her hand, asking at the same time, “Coffee?”

“Ah! No, no.”

Reed shook his head, “I’m leaving soon, I’m going to take a trip to the recently news-hot Adirondack Mountains ruins to see.”

“Reed, you’re still the same, you can’t stay still.”

“Ding——”

As she spoke, Gwen slowly sat back down in her seat.

At this moment, a translation completion prompt suddenly popped up on the computer screen, clear and loud, instantly attracting all of Gwen’s attention, she quickly shifted her gaze from the documents in her hand to the screen.

However, when she saw the contents of the screen, her slender eyebrows involuntarily furrowed, her eyes filled with doubt and bewilderment, as if she had seen something beyond expectations.

“This… does it really mean this!?!?!”

“What’s wrong?”

Hearing Gwen’s question, Reed’s curiosity was instantly ignited, and he hurriedly leaned in to look at the computer, and what met his eyes was a screen full of the English words “death” and “warning”.

“Death… warning…”

“What’s the translation of this rune, Gwen?”

“These are rune patterns excavated from the ruins of the Adirondack Mountains, and I’m currently helping Professor Jimmy of the archaeological team with the related translations.”

Logically, these internal materials that have not yet been released to the public should not be disclosed to outsiders, but out of trust in Reed, Gwen still told him without reservation.

Hearing this, Reed showed a nervous expression, “Then all these ‘death’ and ‘warning’ wouldn’t it mean that something in the ruins is dangerous?”

“It’s not necessarily so, perhaps… the part of the text I just translated happens to correspond to the curse words written by the buried person to the tomb robbers before they died…”

She said so with her mouth, but looking at the translated content on the computer, Gwen still felt a sense of unease in her heart, after a while, she said to herself as if to convince herself.

“For now, let’s ask the people on the archaeological team, just as a topic.”

As she spoke, Gwen picked up the study’s dedicated phone and called the archaeological team.

At the same time, in the super-ancient ruins of the Adirondack Mountains.

The instrument used to explore data suddenly seemed to be shrouded in an indescribable dark energy, frantically emitting sharp, piercing noises, like the screams of a ghost, it was particularly jarring in the silent ruins.

Immediately afterwards, the lighting fixtures originally hanging around also shattered under the impact of this energy.

The originally bright space was instantly swallowed by darkness, the entire ruins once again plunged into endless blackness, only the panicked voices of the archaeological team’s personnel echoed in the ruins.

“Hello! Is this the police?”

“This is the excavation site of the ruins in the Adirondack Mountains, please come and save us, save us!!!”

Monty, who had been reprimanded by Professor Jimmy not long ago, was now extremely panicked, clutching his phone in his hand, trembling as he called the police for help, his voice filled with despair.

The photographer beside him was also so frightened by the sudden terrifying scene that he lost all strength in his hands, and the camera in his hand slipped directly to the ground.

In front of them, a figure shrouded in darkness slowly approached, then a hideous hand stretched out from the darkness, mercilessly covering Monty’s face, which was contorted by fear.

“Aaaaaaaaaah——”

A shrill scream echoed through the ruins, a sound filled with despair and helplessness.

The image on the screen also froze, focusing on the camera that had fallen to the ground.

At this moment.

The camera was still running.

The lens faithfully recorded this terrifying scene.

The dark figure, the terrified face, and the various items scattered on the ground were all captured, becoming an eternal testament to this disaster.】
