The "elevator" rises higher and higher, and the statue of the goddess Athena has fallen to the ground of the underground palace.

As the "elevator" was raised, the torches below were quietly extinguished, but a new torch was lit above Shi Lei's head, which made Shi Lei sigh once again about the powerful skills of the ancient Greeks.

When the "elevator" finally stopped, Shi Lei saw that above his head, at most three or four meters, was the roof of the underground palace.

And here, it is already much smaller than below, with only a dozen square meters of space around, and most of it is still covered by those mechanisms.

Just when the "elevator" was stopped, Shi Lei saw that there was also a wrench-like thing.

He knew that this must be the mechanism that opened the overhead passage, and at this moment, there was only one torch left above his side that was still burning, and the light was not enough, just enough for Shi Lei to see the position near the wrench.

Shi Lei hurriedly turned on the flashlight and looked around, making sure that there was no danger, and he also found a stone staircase similar to the one he saw when he entered the temple of Hephaestus.

Shi Lei didn't hesitate anymore, pulled off the wrench, he saw that the surrounding mechanisms began to operate, and there were still those clicking sounds in his ears, and then, there was plenty of light pouring in overhead, which made Shi Lei close his eyes for a moment, he hadn't been exposed to natural light for several hours, and his eyes were really a little unaccustomed at the moment.

Raise your wrist and look at your watch, the time is 7:40, and in 20 minutes, the Parthenon will open its doors to welcome visitors from all over the world.

Shi Lei climbed up the stone ladder, and as soon as he pressed his hands on the ground above the stone ladder, he heard the click of machinery running again below.

Looking down, the stone that had sunk before was slowly rising, and it seemed that the stone slab near the ground of the exit, just like the stone slab at the entrance of the underground palace, was a mechanism to close the passage.

I don't care if there will be guards patrolling the hall, at this time, if you don't go out, I'm afraid you won't be able to go out again.

Shi Lei used his hands and feet together and left the dungeon, and soon after he climbed up, the ground returned to its original appearance.

In addition, the surrounding sand and gravel slowly converge towards this place, filling in the gap at the entrance, making it impossible to see that there was once an exit from the passage.

There was a sound of footsteps not far away, Shi Lei hurriedly hid behind a stone pillar, and he saw two guards doing the final inspection work before the open tour, but fortunately, the two guards did not find Shi Lei's existence.

Soon after, the guards left, and Shi Lei sat down behind the stone pillar.

He sorted out all the information along the way, and his heart was very excited, and he actually found the original statue of the goddess Athena by mistake.

Although this thing is obviously not possible for him to get rid of it, Shi Lei believes that if there is anyone in this world who can hide from the Greek government to get this statue, it can only be the pupil of the night.

After a while, the Parthenon opened its gates, and the tourists entered, and Shi Lei mixed in with the tourists and left calmly.

Back at the hotel, Shi Lei made up for sleep first, and after getting up in the afternoon, he directly dialed Wei Bodhi's phone.

"You really have a very unusual sense of smell, we just found out that the last consortium of the ferryman is indeed in the United States, and you called?"

Shi Lei ignored Wei Bodhi's ridicule, and said with a very good smile: "I'm not for the ferryman's business, but I have a major discovery." ”

Wei Bodhi was slightly stunned, and then asked, "What did you find?"

"The statue of the goddess Athena, I know where it is, and, absolutely, it is the original. ”

Of course, Wei Bodhi couldn't understand all of a sudden, there were more statues of the goddess Athena, how could she know which one Shi Lei was talking about.

"What statue of the goddess Athena?"

Shi Lei explained with a smile: "It is the statue of the goddess Athena in the Parthenon built BC. ”

Wei Bodhi was stunned again, she didn't know much about these things, and immediately instructed the people around her to inquire about this statue.

When she saw the information about the statue, she was also shocked.

"Isn't that thing already destroyed?"

"I didn't find it, and of course it can only be considered damaged in the history books. However, I discovered its existence. Actually, it was also a mistake, I originally thought I had just discovered a small secret, but I didn't expect this secret to be so big. Moreover, it is not only the statue itself that is valuable, but also the place where the statue is hidden is definitely of considerable research value. ”

"Where?"

"On the Acropolis Hill in Athens, archaeologists from all over the world can't imagine that the statue of Athena, which they thought had been destroyed in the long river of history, was hidden under the Parthenon. ”

Wei Bodhi was also shocked and incredulous, of course she understood that even the statue of Christ in Rio de Janeiro, which was not many years old, had so much interest to Bebela, the leader of the Pupil of the Night, and what an astonishing discovery it would be if the original statue of Athena in the Parthenon could be found.

She asked eagerly, "What the hell is going on, you tell me in detail!"

Shi Lei laughed and said, "You think beautifully, I found this thing, why should I tell you so freely? Go and report to your leader Bebela and see what price she is willing to pay in exchange for this statue." ”

"Hey, this statue is so big, you don't have the ability to get it, do you?"

"It's true that I can't get it away, but if I don't tell you how to get under the Parthenon, you won't be able to blow up the Acropolis in Athens, and besides, this is a place where you can't buy it no matter how rich you are. So, the entrance and exit are crucial. You go and report first, the price is right, and I'll sell you the details!"

Wei Bodhi obviously wanted to say something more, but Shi Lei simply hung up the phone.

After checking the ticket, there was a flight back to London that night, Shi Lei immediately booked it, and then went straight to the airport.

By the time he got off the plane, Wei Bodhi had already called, and she said that Bei Beila was very interested in the statue, and said that Shi Lei would make her own price, which probably meant that no matter what the price, she had to get the statue.

Shi Lei said with a smile: "To be honest, it is unlikely that you can get it, and it is almost impossible for this thing to be taken away." But, anyway, you're just going to study this kind of thing, this thing is there, no one can get it, and your leader has no problem studying it for a hundred years. ”

Wei Bodhi groaned a little and said, "You can make a price." ”

"Upgrade my membership level to the same level as Mr. X. Shi Lei did not hesitate to offer his own psychological price.

Wei Bodhi gasped, she said, "It's almost impossible! Bebella has already announced that the organization will never have a member of the same level as Mr. X again. ”

Shi Lei smiled slightly, and said unhurriedly: "That was before. In the past, Bebella was also conditioned by some people, such as your elders and the ferryman who rose to prominence. But now, she has no restraints, and all the forces that may oppose her have been eliminated in the recent past. So, don't tell me it's impossible. Bodhi, I can't figure out right now, who are you, and you're really comfortable being a member of the Night Pupil!"

Hearing this, Wei Bodhi couldn't help blushing slightly, Shi Lei was right, she seemed to have mistaken the role.

It's okay for her to treat others with such an attitude, but in the face of Shi Lei, she shouldn't behave like this. 10
