Professor Alepf was accompanied by two soldiers, who did not appear to be of high rank, did not say anything, and were only responsible for security, but Ahmad knew that they must have been instructed by their superiors, and perhaps had been given the same authority to make decisions on the spot. The muzzle of the black hole can be used against the enemy, and it can be turned towards itself at any time.

"Abdullah!" Ahmad decided to find himself a helper, "Do you know how to use a gun?" ”

"Huh?" Adullah was stunned for a moment, then stood up and saluted, "Report, I served in the military when I was young, sir!" ”

"Excellent." Ahmad said to the policeman next to him, "Go and get him a gun, preferably the one that is not registered." He said to Alepf, "You don't mind if I find a guide, do you?" ”

Alepf said indifferently: "You have this power." ”

Officers quickly found a revolver. Ahmad shoved the pistol into Abdullah's arms and whispered in his ear, "You are now my man." ”

Adullah nodded solemnly, "Understood, sir. ”

Led by Adullah, the group made their way to the entrance to the pyramid.

Ahmad grew up in a mosque, and the imam said not to go to the pyramids, where there was a devil's curse. But the more like that, the more curious he became, and as a child he often sneaked out to secretly climb the pyramid with his friends. Although the Egyptian Tourism Board prohibits climbing, there are many people who climb the pyramids. So when Adullah said that two young men had climbed up to the door of Kaura, he was not surprised at all, and could even imagine the scene where tourists bribed Adula with money.

He remembered that the passage inside the Pyramid of Khufu had not been so strong with iron guardrails, and it was dark except for the passage leading to the king's tomb with a few dim lights. But now the passage has been strengthened and brightly lit.

The passage to the catacombs was closed, and Ahmad thought it was from here, but Adullah ignored it and continued to climb up. After climbing up a little further, there were two passages in front of me, a very wide but steep passage leading to the king's tomb, and a straight but half-man-high passage leading to the queen's chamber.

Adullah pointed to a dark hole in front of him and said, "This is it." ”

Alepf muttered: "Scientists have found that there is a passage below through the μ detection, but the entrance has been found, and the underground tomb is a semi-finished product, so I haven't paid attention to it, but I didn't expect the passage to appear this time." ”

Before they came down, they were already prepared, so they all wore miner's lamps on their heads. Ahmad turned on the lamp and shone it towards the entrance of the cave, revealing a narrow staircase that snaked downward.

Adullah emboldened himself and climbed down first, followed by Ahmad, and Professor Aleph, protected by two soldiers.

Ahmad took advantage of the light and found a bloody handprint on the wall. He put on his gloves, dipped his finger in the blood on his handprint, put it in front of his nose and sniffed it, and found it fresh.

"Adullah, did you leave this handprint?" He asked.

Adullah hurriedly denied: "No, we didn't touch the corpse at all. ”

Then, bloody handprints were found on the steps. It looks like someone left it behind when they crawled out of the passageway. But strangely, there were no other marks other than handprints, and if it was an injured person, there would have been more marks left in the passage.

At the bottom of the narrow staircase is a wide slope. Adula stood at the entrance of the passage and said, "Be careful, it's not very clean here." ”

Ahmad saw blood all over the ground, a lot of red flesh-like things falling to the ground, and a corpse lying in the corner.

He cautiously stepped over the ground and crouched down beside the corpse, where he saw that the corpse was dressed in a white robe, and the robe on his chest had been stained red with blood. A turban was worn on his head, and the turban covered the face of the deceased. Judging by the attire, it was clearly an Arab. The deceased's stomach was cut open, and muscle and fat were turned outward. The internal organs have been hollowed out, and some fat and intestines are still hanging on the edge of the stomach.

"This should be parallel to the ground, the base of the pyramid." Aleph didn't care at all about the blood and dead people on the ground, and while observing the four walls of the slope, he said, "There is nothing surprising here, there is a passage ahead, we should go down and have a look." ”

Ahmad turned around and shouted, "Hey, don't step on those things!" ”

Alepf looked down, then lifted his foot and flicked it, a soft red mass flung out of the sole of his shoe and snapped against the wall.

Ahmad felt the urge to punch someone, but he didn't have time to pay attention to the expert now, as he had removed the turban that covered the deceased's face. Although he is a veteran police detective with 20 years of criminal investigation experience, he has seen countless murders and corpse dismemberment scenes, and he can't help but be shocked at this moment.

That can't be called a face anymore. The nose and upper jaw were completely opened, and the whole face was gone, and a large hole was formed from the lower jaw bone to the eyebrow bone, and the inside was muddy, like it was filled with strawberry jam.

Ahmad hurriedly put the turban back on. He believed that Adullah and Basemu should not have had the courage to look at the deceased's face when they came down, and if they did, what would happen to Adullah, and that the Basemu patrol might need someone to carry him out.

Behind the ramp was another entrance, and they continued down the next section of the passage. This section of passage is a little wider and gentler than the previous one.

Adula walked ahead, his pistol clutched tightly in his hand. As he walked, he suddenly screamed and sat on the ground. Ahmad saw a corpse lying on the stairway in front of him, dressed in the same way as the one he had been, and dying in almost the same way: his stomach had been disemboweled, most of his internal organs were missing, but he didn't seem to have had time to clean them, and some scraps had fallen on the side of the corpse. The nasal and maxillary bones were lifted, and a large hole appeared on the face, which looked horrible without the cover of a turban.

Ahmad stepped forward to inspect it, but found nothing more special, so he turned around and patted Adullah on the shoulder, motioning for him to stand up and continue walking.

Adullah trembled. When Ahmad saw him like that, he knew that he might be scared to death if he led the way, so he walked ahead of him.

Professor Alepf glanced at the corpse and said nothing, not knowing what he was thinking.

At the bottom of the passage a pair of stone doors appeared, and the doors were intricately carved with ornamentation. The door was ajar, and it was pitch black inside. Ahmad pushed open the door and walked inside, and inside was a stone chamber.

"Oh my God, it's so beautiful!"

As soon as he entered the stone chamber, Professor Aleuf exclaimed at the mural on the wall, oblivious to the blood on the floor and the smell of blood that filled the room.

Ahmad crouched down to examine it closely, and the blood stained was like the traces of someone dragging the corpse, all the way to the sarcophagus in the middle of the stone chamber. The coffin board on the sarcophagus was lifted in half.

He remembered the joke of the radio host: Pharaoh's coffin board can't be covered!

Just as he was about to push the lid of the coffin, he heard Alepf shouting, "Hey, don't touch the coffin!" There may be a mummy of the pharaoh in there, be careful! ”

Ahmad did not listen to him, pushed the lid of the coffin open, and said, "I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint you, I'm sure the body inside is still fresh." ”

However, he was stunned, the sarcophagus was empty, there was nothing, but a downward passage was revealed.

"Mr. Professor, come and see, what's going on?"

When Alepf heard the sound, he saw the passage in the sarcophagus and frowned, which seemed to be beyond his expectations. He thought about it for a long time and said, "Go down and see." ”

Ahmad said, "Are you sure? There may be danger below. ”

"Wasn't it dangerous just now?" "I have a hunch that the danger is no longer here. ”

Ahmad didn't understand what he meant, but seeing that he was so resolute, he knew that he couldn't persuade him, and he himself had to go down, otherwise it would be difficult to explain to the director when he turned back.

As for how these people died, it is difficult to predict now. He didn't believe in any mysterious forces, but the corpse's death didn't look like an ordinary treasure hunt. If I had to give a reasonable guess, he thought there might be some beast in the underground that liked to eat human guts, but it was strange that no footprints were found. 8)
