Leonard Churchill carefully examined the golden sarcophagus but, finding no mechanisms, he chose to stand where Wayne White had previously stood.
The angel's head was still floating in mid-air, and although it showed no hostility, Leonard informed it courteously, "Senior, I hope you'll excuse the interruption..."
As he spoke and saw no reaction from the angel, he proceeded to approach.
The lid of the sarcophagus was flipped over on the ground, revealing an empty interior that was instantly visible.
A pottery jar with hollowed-out carvings, a solid gold human-shaped coffin.
And a large amount of black crystal clusters.
Nothing else.
When Leonard looked inside, he just so happened to see some sort of golden soft-bodied creature wriggling in the jar.
"A living creature?"
Leonard was quite surprised, instinctively on alert, as the scalpel floating beside him was immediately pointed at the creature.
