Cairo, one of the oldest cities in human history, a city with a history of five thousand years, which is longer than the history of civilization of most races in the world, the regular flooding of the Nile, created the ancient civilization of ancient Egypt and also shaped this ancient city by the Nile.

The unique dry climate preserves the ancient ruins of the city.

The old Egyptians have been wiped out, and the new owners of this ancient land are the Arama people who hold the Qur'an and pout their buttocks, and the gods of Egypt have become history with the pyramids.

The culture of this city is faulty, this ancient civilization has nothing to do with history and its new owner, not every civilization is the same as the Chinese civilization, prosperous and endless!

Although Egypt outside the pyramid area is full of noise, dirt and backwardness, like a huge chaotic construction site, full of uncapped buildings, people here firmly believe that the continuous reproduction and prosperity of the family will constantly put forward new requirements for the family's living space, and Egypt's unique laws make most Egyptians not cap their houses.

After the next generation is born, they will add one or more floors to the upper floors...... In Egypt, building a house is always in the present tense.

But Cairo, which is the kind of Cairo, is a place where rich people from all over Africa want to settle.

The rich settled in the city of Naers, next to the airport, while the poor ......

These dilapidated buildings, of dubious quality, and unfinished design, are not places where Egypt's poorest people live.

The real poor can only live in the City of the Dead – the slums of Brazil, the slums of Mumbai, the dirtiest and messiest part of Egypt, the forbidden places, the shadows of the Cairo sun, the epitome of the darkest, chaotic side of the city.

The City of the Dead - not an exaggerated embellishment, but a real, belonging to the City of the Dead.

This is the cemetery in Cairo, although the modern Egyptians are Arab, but *** here is inevitably influenced by the ancient Egyptian religion, they and the ancient Egyptians, the Western Han period of the Chinese, have the same tradition of death as life, they think that the dead are underground, still living as before life.

Therefore, the ancient Egyptians created the pyramids, and the Chinese of the Han Dynasty completed the burial of daily necessities and built a huge tomb.

Modern Egyptians buried the dead in underground burial chambers, but built magnificent structures on top of the tombs, like the dwellings of the living.

Wealthy families would hire tomb keepers to live in these buildings and hold vigils for the dead—another custom very similar to that of ancient China, but no family lasted long, so uninvited homeless people lived in it and mingled with the tomb guards. This is Carlo's - the City of the Dead!

Strange stared at the mausoleum where the living and the dead lived together, and Chen Ang asked him, "Never been here before?" ”

Strange shook his head and said, "I've been to Cairo for academic conferences before......"

"But all staying in palatial hotels?" Chen Ang asked rhetorically: "Actually, even tourists don't come here. Although this is the true character of Cairo, more culturally representative than the pyramids, think of a modern pyramid where the living and the dead live together, mixed with religion, traditional culture, the stubborn ailments of the modern city and the shadow of the country's light. ”

"But just as the slums are Rio's specialty, tourists would rather dance samba than get involved, because gangsters don't pay attention to it. It is also the place where the city was abandoned. ”

"The rulers of the slums are gangsters!" Strange said solemnly: "Then who is the ruler here?" ”

"A more dangerous existence!" Chen Ang sighed.

"Even the gangsters don't want to live in such an obscure place, except for people who really have nothing, who wants to live with the dead, and the *** sect regards this place as filth. Only the lunatics of voodoo, the shamans are happy to entrench here. That group of voodoo shamans has a huge influence in Africa, and even if Egypt is a *** country, it has been infiltrated by voodoo. This is the paradise of voodoo wizards, who believe that living on the edge of life and death can communicate with the souls of the deceased and make their magic stronger. ”

"And there are abundant treasures buried underground!"

"You mean...... They also rob tombs? Strange was surprised.

"Or else? Why do those rich people hire grave keepers? Chen Ang introduced: "Kama Taj's knowledge is too old! Although there are very detailed records of sorcery and occult knowledge, they will not tell you that in modern Egypt, a new capital of the dead that has developed so silently, will not record the movements of voodoo in the new age. ”

"These hidden gossip, engraved in the blood and shadow of urban development, can only be understood if you are close to here."

"The rich hired grave keepers, and in addition to driving away the poor who had nothing, they were also responsible for guarding the bones of their loved ones and burial goods in the catacombs. And those wizards just took a fancy to the abundant corpse bone resources here, as well as the rich burial goods that could become spell items and spell casting materials. ”

"Gold and silver vessels, burial stones, and antiques!"

Walking on the empty streets, lined with foul-smelling garbage, the streets here are like other poor areas, littered with garbage, cats and dogs roaming. But the streets here are narrower and more cluttered, with no street name signs, no traffic police and no police officers, and the streets are empty.

The tombs in the "City of the Dead" are built in the style of folk houses, with courtyards, walls, gates, houses and burial chambers, and most of the houses have only one or two floors, which appear low. On the wall next to the gate are engraved the name of the tomb owner and the number of the tomb. Underneath the burial chamber are the bones of the coffin.

The street number is not the name and house number of the house, but the name of the tomb owner and the number of the tomb.

There are about 1 million Egyptians living in the "City of the Dead".

Chen Ang stopped in front of a relatively palatial tomb, and the gaze that had been faintly peeking at them behind him disappeared without a trace - wizards are big names here, and the people who find them, whether they are unlucky or not, are not something that these gangsters in the city of the dead can bother.

Strange looked at the tomb in front of him, with the name of the tomb owner written on it, hesitated for a moment, and said, "I'd better wait for you outside!" ”

"So, you don't want to go in?" Chen Ang smiled: "Then guard the door, don't let him run away!" ”

Chen Ang knocked on the door, and a voice with a West African tribal accent asked vigilantly in English, "Who?" ”

"Mage, someone introduced me and asked you to buy something!" Chen Ang lowered his voice.

The people inside were silent for a while, and then they heard the sound of someone grinding and rubbing, and the chair was dragging on the ground, making a loud noise, and the man came to the door and whispered, "Who introduced you here?" ”

Chen Ang's hand passed through the middle of the wooden door, he pierced through the thick wooden door of about three centimeters, grabbed the man's collar, dragged his head over, and pressed it heavily on the door...... If you don't want to die, you'd better open the door obediently, and my gun will be attached to the door, where your head is. If you want the bullet to pass through the wooden door and then through your head...... Ten, nine, eight, seven......"

"I'll drive! I'm open! The man panicked, "Don't shoot!" ”

Strange heard the door click open, he endured the discomfort and stepped forward a little, and saw Chen Ang loosen the man's collar and slammed the door open, a thin black man, covered with all kinds of voodoo spell materials, all kinds of bones and magic weapons taken from the corpse, fell to the ground and sat down, looking out of the door in horror.

Chen Ang walked in with a cold face and explained to Strange: "Come in and close the door!" ”

Strange had no choice but to obey the order, he reluctantly walked in, closed the door, and there was a burial chamber at his feet, the house was very dark inside, and the only light source was the doorway that Chen Ang had penetrated, Chen Ang found a place, and did it, facing the voodoo wizard's face.

He asked, "Did someone ask you for help three months ago?" ”

The wizard was very frightened, but his eyes still moved slightly, as if he was looking for his gun, and he prevaricated: "Sir, there are so many people who come to me for help every month, I don't know which one!" ”

"I'll help you remember." Chen Ang said calmly.
