The Orchid Pavilion Collection Preface Part 1 The Curse of Cairo Chapter 5 The Sheepskin Map
Old Liu Tou took the compass and measured it next to this cloth bag, always frowning and not saying a word.
"Mr. Liu, is there a problem?" Qin Ge was a little anxious.
"This thing ......" Lao Liu snorted his teeth, "There is a problem with this thing, I can't be sure!" ”
"What do you mean?" Liu Dan, who was sitting next to him, asked.
"I froze and didn't move, and the needle of the compass didn't move, as soon as I changed places, the needle jumped......" Lao Liu shook his head as he said. The police didn't say what was in it? ”
"Didn't say it! They didn't dare to open it. Now that the thief who stole the bag, convinced that he was cursed, is now in the hospital, Inspector Richard seems reluctant to reveal the details and does not want us to come into contact with the thief. Qin Ge unexpectedly lit a cigarette (they used to smoke pipes), "Mr. Liu, does this curse have anything in common with the head-lowering technique we have encountered?" “
"I can't tell......," said Lao Liu, who also lit his cigarette, "but for sure, this thing is not very different from those things in China!" ”
"Young Master Sun dares to touch it, why don't we dare?" Airxun took the cloth bag and opened the zipper with a brush, the action was so fast that Lao Liu Tou and Qin Ge didn't have time to stop it.
"I'm going to know this Pharaoh! Let's see if his curse is powerful, or if the submachine gun of the Vietnamese devil is powerful! Elxun stood up and took out the contents of the sack: a map, an old sheepskin, a notebook; In addition, there are several pages of paper, which record information such as stations and hotels, which seem to be of little use.
"It doesn't seem to be moving...... old Liu Tou stared at the compass and looked up at Alxun again.
At this moment, Liu Dan suddenly let out a scream, which frightened everyone present.
"What's wrong?" Old Liu Tou pulled out the dragon scale dagger from the sock tube, and Qin Ge stepped to the bed and pulled out the pistol from under the pillow.
"Elxun...... His shadow ......" Liu Dan's eyes widened as big as walnuts in fright, "his shadow ...... Not to stand up with him! ”
"Ah Tan, are you mistaken?!" Qin Ge stuck the gun into his waist, "Shadows are created by objects blocking the light. This is common sense in physics, how can it not be possible to stand up with him? ”
"There is a situation! Bite your tongue, everyone! At this time, the compass in Lao Liutou's hand jumped wildly.
Ai Erxun and Liu Dan didn't know how to get back to the time. But seeing that the corners of Qin Ge's mouth were bleeding with a frown, he had no choice but to turn his heart sideways and bite his tongue.
"Elxun don't move!" After that, Lao Liu walked behind Elxun and thrust his sword into the floor, which was exactly in the middle of Elxun's shadow.
"Ahh Alxun clutched his chest and shouted. Immediately sweating profusely.
"What's wrong?!" Qin Ge stepped forward and asked.
"At that moment, as soon as Mr. Liu made a move just now, my chest suddenly felt uncomfortable. It's as if the heart is about to be plucked out. It's okay now......"
"This ...... It seems to be ......" Old Liu Tou pulled out the dagger from the floor, and found that the part where the blade was inserted into the wooden floor seemed to be a little hot, and when he touched it with his hand, it was obviously warmer than the place where the dagger was handled, "I suspect that this is what Madame Selene said, the evil soul that leads people to death......"
"Ah......h Liu Dan screamed again. "Rooftop!"
"What?" As soon as Lao Liu looked up, he found that there seemed to be a person's shadow on the wall of the roof.
"What the fuck...... What the hell is this......" Old Liu Tou looked at the figure on the roof, and reflexively held the dagger.
"This shadow...... Who is it for? "Facing this inexplicable figure on the roof. Even Qin Ge was stunned.
"Who's!" Old Liu Tou flew the dagger to the roof with a whoosh, "We are all standing on the ground, how can the figure reach the roof?" This is not our shadow!! ”
What Lao Liu Tou didn't expect was that this young man seemed to know the power of this dagger, so he dodged it with a snort, "Close the window quickly!" With Lao Liu's roar, Qin Ge rushed to the window and closed the window. Lao Liu Tou followed, puffing two mouthfuls of real yang saliva on the window, stretching out his finger on the glass for a while, "What the hell want to run?!" It's not that easy to ......."
At this moment, the shadow flickered motionless on the roof, and suddenly there was a knock on the door outside.
"Who?!" Qin Ge yelled.
"Waiter, you ordered pasta!" Humanity on the outside
"Yes...... I ordered it...... I haven't eaten for a day......" Liu Dan said aggrieved.
"I'm sorry, we don't want it!" Qin Ge yelled, saying in his heart that this waiter is really fucking good at picking the time.
"Okay, but this one is on your account! Excuse me, is there anything else you can help with? "The one outside still doesn't give up.
Old Liu Tou was almost angry, he didn't want his face, why did this old man still care about tips......
At that moment, the shadow swished from the roof to the door, and disappeared from under the crack in the door.
"Not good!" Lao Liu stepped to the door in one step, and opened the door with a bang, this time the force was too strong, and even the anti-theft chain on the door was broken.
"Oh! Dear Sir! Have you changed your mind again!? The waiter was stunned for a moment, and then immediately returned to a smile on his face, "I can send this to your room, but the door lock must also be credited to your account......
Old Liu Tou was too lazy to talk to him. I looked down for a long time, "He ...... What about his shadow......? Lao Liu's first words made Qin Ge and Ai Erxun, who followed closely behind, take a few steps back, and glanced down, this waiter really had no shadow!
"Stand back! Qin Ge raised his gun, "Put down what you have in your hand!" (English)"
"Ahh Help me! The spaghetti in the waiter's hand fell to the ground, shouting and running. But the direction of running was Qin Ge's direction.
"Stand back!" Qin Ge took a few steps backwards with the gun, and was about to shoot when he opened the safe, (in China, the scene of Li Erzhuang being rushed is still vivid for Qin Ge) at this moment. The next Alxun raised a kick and kicked the waiter to the ground!
"The shadow is on him!" Liu Dan screamed, only to see that there was a gray layer on the waiter's body, and the light shining on him was obviously dimmed.
"Hold him down!" Old Liu's head fluttered a mouthful of true yang saliva on the waiter's face, and at this time, a layer of dark shadow on his body immediately moved to the side, "Mr. Liu, go on!" At some point, Alxun had already taken down the dragon scale dagger inserted on the roof and threw it to Old Liu.
"Here you are!" Old Liu picked up the dragon scales and plunged them into the floor next to the waiter, and at the same time there was a bang in the room.
"What a fucking hanging......" Old Liu Tou stood up and wiped his sweat, "There is a broken sky!" This Egyptian thing is similar to that of China, and there is also a difference between yin and yang, but it doesn't seem to rush to the body. Nothing can stand ......! ”
"What's going on?!" At this time, a group of waiters who heard the movement had already made do with the door and looked into the house in astonishment.
"It's okay! We're making games......! Qin Ge lied.
"Hey...... That's right, we're making a game, an oriental game, and it's fun...... I'm already obsessed......" The waiter smiled and quietly slipped a dozen dollar bills into his pocket with one hand.
"We have no ill will!" After the crowd dispersed, Qin Ge said to the waiter, "Our knowledge spirit is too nervous......
"I hope you don't ...... like this next time" The waiter patted the dust off his body, "If you don't have other instructions, I'll miss the company first"
"Today's incident, I hope you keep it secret!" Alxun stepped forward, and it was another dozen beautiful rounds.
"Oh! Of course, I will keep it a secret! The waiter put away the US dollar, "I'm honored to serve you......"
Liu Dan on the side of "strange" looked at the things on the sheepskin, his brows furrowed, "This is the internal structure of the Khafre Pyramid." What's going on?! ”
"Pyramid of Khafre?" Qin Ge's face couldn't help but feel a little strange, the Pyramid of Khafre is the second largest pyramid in the world, and it has long been open to tourists, the guide map of the Pyramid of Khafre, which is sold in any souvenir shop in Cairo, and at this time this parchment map seems to be old. And it seems that there is some kind of curse, why did Sun Ting bring this?
"There's a deception in this!" Old Liu Tou frowned and said, "Comrade Liu, do you know Mrs. Selene's phone number?!" ”
"I know! What's up? Qin Ge said.
"Comrade Liu, please help me contact Lady Selene, I don't think things are as simple as we think!" Old Liu Tou glanced at Qin Ge and deliberately said to Liu Dan again.
"There is a fraud...... What is the meaning? Liu Dan said, "Lady Mo Fei Selin knows what's going on?!" ”
"I suspect that Young Master Sun doesn't know where that Diefra's pyramid is!" Old Liu Tou said, "The shadow just now seems to be the so-called curse, although it is not very powerful, but from this point of view, Young Master Sun's matter is by no means as simple as we imagined!" Since Madame Seren had removed the spirit of Egypt, she must have known a little about these things! ”
After dialing the number, Qin Ge directly gave the phone receiver to Lao Liutou.
"Hello! Is it the Serenes, please? Old Liu Tou's English is quite fluent, "Oh, I'm Liu Fengyan, we met in the United States!" ”
"Hello Mr. Liu, is there anything you can do to help?" Madame Seren still has a lot of respect for this Chinese colleague with his unique skills.
"I would like to ask you, apart from Tutankhamun's curse, which pharaoh's curse have you lifted? Do those curses seem the same to you? ”
"I have lifted the curse of Tutankhamun and Narma, they are different." Lady Selene said.
Can you elaborate on that? What do you see? Old Liu Tou said, "We have encountered a tricky matter, the other party is just a "shadow", I wonder if this is the curse of the pharaoh. Old Liu Tou said, covering the earpiece with his hand, "Comrade Liu, what is Narmai doing?" ”……
