The sky was very blue, a few white clouds were lazily wandering, and the earth was a long stretch of yellow sand. The sand is not golden, but a dull yellow; It's not as fine as the sand on the beach, but it's mixed with a lot of stones and gravel. Some of the larger rocks are scattered around with the footprints of tourists.

The sun was scorching, and there was no moisture in the steaming heat. Three pyramids stand tall in the distance, and the spire of the Khafre Tower in the middle looks like a triangular golden hat.

Sue Shuying regretted coming here to play, despite wearing sunscreen and a sunhat, she still felt her body unreservedly exposed to the sun, and the sun slid into her clothes like a bad boy's hand, ravaging her delicate skin wantonly.

It's still spring in Seoul this season!

"Hey, look, Sphinx!" Park Jae-won, who was next to him, looked excited, left his worried girlfriend, and desperately pressed the shutter of the camera.

Sue Shuying had already seen the huge statue crawling in the sand, and it did shock her at first, but the shock was not long-lasting, and it was quickly melted away by the scorching air around her.

In addition to the heat, she also felt bored and depressed, always feeling that she was standing in a strange and empty land, and that she would fall into quicksand at any moment.

"Jaewon, I don't want to play anymore!" She said.

"Huh?" Park Jae-won half-crouched there, holding the camera in front of his face, expertly adjusting the focus, "Why?" We've come here for a long time! ”

"But...... I ......"

Urging Shuying doesn't know what to say, she doesn't want to ruin her boyfriend's interest, he is an Egyptian fan, and he reads the pyramids and ancient Egyptian dynasty information on the Internet if he has nothing to do. And for this trip, the two young men saved money for a long time.

Park Jae-won stood up and saw that Suo Shuying's face was indeed not very good, so he asked, "What's wrong with you?" Isn't it uncomfortable? ”

Urging Shuying shook her head: "No, I just don't like this place very much." ”

Park Jae-won looked around, saw the misty sand and dust in the distance, and said with a smile: "The desert is like this, I'll take you to climb the pyramids." ”

"Huh?"

"Did you know that the three pyramids of Giza are facing the three stars of Orion's belt, and making a wish on the spire of the pyramid can be heard by the gods who live in Orion, and the wish will come true."

"Is it true?" Girls always have a strong curiosity about things like divination and wishing.

"Maybe it's true!" Park Jae-won said, "Otherwise, why did the ancient Egyptians make the pyramids like this? It is said that the pharaohs did not die, but their souls were temporarily retained, and their mummies were kept for the day of their resurrection. ”

Sue Shuying was obviously not very interested in the mummy, stared at the pyramid in the distance and said: "However, the pyramid is not allowed to be climbed, the sign outside says that climbing the pyramid without permission will be punished by one to three years in prison!" ”

"Don't worry, look at me!" Seeing that Sook-young's appearance was no longer as depressed as before, Park Jae-won winked at her, took her hand, and ran in the direction of the pyramid.

There are a lot of tourists, most of them taking pictures in front of the Pyramids of Khufu and Khafre. Two Arabs with camels are peddling their camels, which tourists can ride to take pictures.

Park Jae-won asked for the price in English, and the Arabs said one hundred Egyptian pounds. Park Jae-won felt that it was a bit expensive and asked if fifty Egyptian pounds was okay. The Arabs readily agreed, and then shouted for the camel to lay down.

Park Jae-won helped Sook-young to ride the camel with him, and the Arabs seemed to be very experienced, directing the camels to move slowly while making various poses, such as reaching out and making "grabbing" movements, so that in the photo it looks as if they are grasping the spire of the pyramid in their hands.

Sue Shuying's mood is much better. But when they were about to come down, the Arabs said they would collect the money first, and two hundred Egyptian pounds. Her mood had turned bad again.

Park Jae-won began to reason with the Arabs, but the Arabs no longer spoke English, but spoke Arabic vigorously, occasionally interspersed with a sentence or two of English, which was also fierce. A few Arabs gathered around, who seemed to be their accomplices, and said that they would not be allowed to get off the camels without paying.

Not far away, there were patrolling policemen who saw the quarrel and turned away.

Urging Shuying to pull Park Jae-won's clothes: "Jae-won, forget it, just give them two hundred Egyptian pounds." ”

Park Jae-won is not afraid. He is a rock climbing enthusiast, and he has also practiced taekwondo, and his body is strong, even if he really fights, he will not suffer, not to mention that he is on the side of reason, and these Arabs are obviously bullying them for not knowing their lives. He jumped off the camel with a rub, spread his hands and said, "Shuying, you jump down, I'll pick you up." ”

Urging Sook-young to jump down and was caught by Park Jae-won.

Park Jae-won took out fifty Egyptian pounds from his wallet, slapped the Arab on the chest hard, and then pulled Sook-young on the head and walked away without looking back.

I thought they would catch up, but I didn't expect the Arabs to get the money, so they didn't say anything and turned around to look for other tourists.

"Shuying, don't be angry with those profiteers, let's play with ours." Park Jae-won was afraid that his girlfriend would lose interest.

Urging Shuying was not as uneasy as she was just now, and said, "Ha, I'm not angry!" ”

"Have you made any wishes?"

"Well, I've thought it through. However, there are so many people here, how can we climb? ”

"Let's go to the front."

Park Jae-won pulled Sook-young and turned to the innermost pyramid of Menkaura. Menkaura is the smallest of the three pyramids, and there are few tourists here.

There is a small room on the side of the pyramid with a staff member who guards it. Park Jae-won walked in and said, "I want to make a wish on the pyramid." ”

The guards glanced at him as if they were looking at a psychopath.

Park Jae-won took out two hundred Egyptian pounds from his wallet and handed it over. The corners of the guard's mouth curled slowly, revealing a mouthful of smoky yellowed teeth, and then said in broken English, "Ten minutes, up, down." ”

Park Jae-won nodded, turned around and grimaced at Hyun Sook-young.

The pyramid looks steep, but it is not difficult to climb it, and Hyo Sook-young, who usually exercises a lot, follows Park Jae-won, and does not feel very tired except for the heat.

Halfway up the climb, two patrolmen on camels spotted them, whoa-la-wah-wah, and demanded that they come down immediately.

In desperation, they had no choice but to climb down. Sue Shuying said a little worriedly: "We won't go to prison in Egypt, right?" ”

Park Jae-won said: "When they ask you, they say that I coerced you to go up, and I will be in prison alone." ”

Urging Shuying said, "No, I want to be with you." ”

The keeper of the pyramid ran out, pulled aside the couple who had just climbed down, and whispered: "You still have money, if you have money, it's fine." ”

Park Jae-won was stunned for a moment, and immediately understood.

At this time, the patrol came, and the camel they were riding was not as tall as the camel in the photograph, only slightly taller than the average horse, and he jumped off the camel.

When the policeman came to Park Jae-won, he saw the guard nodding at him and leaving, so he didn't say anything, just stretched out his hand, rubbed his thumb and forefinger, and made a gesture that the whole world knew about asking for money.

Park Jae-won opened his wallet and took out another two hundred Egyptian pounds. The policeman nodded, and only said one word: "Don't be too long." ”

Just as the police were about to leave, Park Jae-won grabbed him, took out all the remaining 500 Egyptian pounds from his wallet, and stuffed them into the policeman's pocket.

The policeman was stunned for a moment, then laughed happily, patted Park Jae-won on the shoulder and left.

Something unexpected happened, two policemen on camels, patrolling around the pyramid of Menkaura, chased away some tourists who were coming this way, telling them that they should go to the pyramid of Khufu to take pictures.

Park Jae-won breathed a sigh of relief, and said as he climbed up: "This is estimated to give us half an hour, which is enough for you to make a wish." Hey, what do you want to make? ”

"I won't tell you!" Urging Sook-young turned her head sideways and saw Park Jae-won's helpless look and laughed happily.

The wind blows high up, bringing a hint of coolness. She looked up and saw that there were many more clouds in the sky at some point, and the sun was not so hot.

They soon climbed to the top of the pyramid, and their vision suddenly became wider, with a yellow boundless sea of sand on one side and a gray city on the other, like a gray forest.

The Pyramid of Khafre is just ahead, and since it is on the highest point in the Giza Heights, it visually appears to be taller than the Pyramid of Khufu, but in reality, the Pyramid of Khufu is the tallest pyramid.

The wind was getting stronger and stronger, the clouds in the sky were getting thicker and thicker, and the sun was completely hidden in the clouds, and the sunlight shot out through the gaps in the clouds, like a golden curtain hanging from the sky.

The policeman on a camel was shouting something loudly under the tower, and it was hard to hear it because the wind was too strong, as if he was shouting about a sandstorm or something.

"What did you wish? Now you can tell me. Park Jae-won ignored the police's calls.

Suo Shuying looked at the darkening horizon in the distance and said, "I hope our love is as eternal as a pyramid." ”

"Heh, what a romantic wish!" Park Jae-won is full of happiness.

"What about you?" Urging Shuying tilted her head and asked.

"I'm ......," Park Jae-won said mysteriously, "I hope to see the gods of Orion, and if the pharaohs can be resurrected, let me witness the miracle of their resurrection!" ”

Xuan Shuying pouted and said unhappily: "Your wishes have nothing to do with me at all!" ”

Park Jae-won was on her shoulder, and just wanted to explain something, when suddenly a very wild wind blew, and the yellow sand exhaled into his mouth, and he coughed violently.

The sky was getting darker, the wind was howling, like countless lions and tigers roaring in the distance, and a high gray wall rose on the horizon, moving rapidly in this direction, engulfing them in a few moments.

There was nothing to see, only the wind and sand fluttering all around. They hugged each other tightly, on the spire of the pyramid of Menkaura.

Suddenly, the earth shook suddenly, and they heard a thud, and then an extremely dazzling pillar of light shot down above their heads, hitting the spire of the pyramid, just covering their figures.

Qi Shuying felt that the air around her became hot, and the flying yellow sofa emitted a red light, like a spark flying out of the fire, and when it hit her face, it was like a bullet passing through. She felt her body slowly dissolving, and it wasn't painful except for the burning. When they all turned into a pile of fine sand, they scattered into dust, leaving only a vague cloud of consciousness.

She finally struggled to look up. The clouds opened three holes, and three pillars of blue light fell on the spires of the three pyramids, and the towers burst into flames.

Then everything went dark. No, it's nothingness that doesn't even have darkness. 8)
