"Lin Fan, have you found anything?" As soon as Lin Fan came back, Xue Panru grabbed him and asked.

"There is a hole in the pyramid that has been pierced in a stone chamber, and then it ...... inside" Lin Fan couldn't say anything more after saying it, because he didn't know what useful clues were in that stone chamber, whether it was the granite with the moon pattern or the hieroglyphs on the stone wall, there was no clue.

"Is there anything special in that stone room?"

"Have you found out what those people were doing inside?"

Lin Fan just shook his head, and when everyone saw that no useful information had been found, the excitement at the beginning suddenly dissipated, "Brother Lin, sit down and rest for a while and drink saliva, don't get heat stroke." First mate Li Gang came over and patted Lin Fan comfortingly.

Lin Fan found a place to sit down, Deng Jinbo, Jonathan, and Officer Shreif, who came back with him, seemed to be discussing the details of the scene in the camp, and finally Deng Jinbo and Shreif seemed to have reached an agreement, Deng Jinbo came over and said to everyone: "Everyone, let's find a hotel next to the scenic spot tonight, and we will investigate here for a few days." ”

No one objected, so Deng Jinbo instructed Chen Ming and Ye Wei to start the matter of Zhang Luo's accommodation.

They found a hotel-style apartment next to the pyramid area, which is a small high-rise bungalow with a brick and concrete structure, which is very characteristic of local Egyptian architecture. A group of 12 people lived in two large suites on the top floor, each with four rooms and a living room, the living rooms of the two suites were connected to each other, and there was a ceiling balcony upstairs.

After everyone packed their luggage, Chen Ming and Ye Wei organized everyone to have dinner on the zenith balcony that night.

Although the desert area is extremely hot during the day, the temperature at night is only about 20 degrees, and due to the large temperature difference between the ground and the air, a strong convective wind will be formed, and it will be cool and breezy at night, and it feels quite comfortable.

The crowd sat around a long table with grape trellis overhead, and enjoyed dinner with a view of Cairo at night. Chen Ming and Ye Wei asked the hotel's chef to get local specialties, including roast mutton, seafood barbecue, pancakes, fried noodles, special fruits, etc. Xue Panru kept sending skewers of barbecue meat to his mouth, and his mouth was full of oil, although Bill looked very thin, he was also a big stomach king who ate nonsense, Chen Bo in order to maintain his toned figure, followed the principle of 'eight points full', and Deng Jinbo, Chen Ming, and Ye Wei, they were very restrained in eating, while Lingzi, Wu Lingling, and Ji Yutong were all shallow for meat, and only ate vegetable salads and fruits.

The first mate Li Gang and Dr. Jonathan on the side drank vigorously, the two drank whiskey, maybe the first mate hadn't drunk it for a long time, he was in a trance after half a decade, and he talked about going to sea before while drinking, when it came to the matter of going to sea with Lin Fan half a year ago, everyone couldn't help but be a little disappointed, Lin Fan remembered that Captain McCoster who was accompanying him at that time was also an alcoholic, and his favorite drink was whiskey.

Lin Fan looked at the Giza pyramids towering over the desert outside the balcony, the lights of the three pyramids were dim at the moment, in stark contrast to the brilliant lights of the city next to him, and he also thought of his missing classmates and teachers.

Where are they now? Are you still alive?

Who is the red-clothed goddess in a golden mask that I saw on the sea?

…… Why does she feel so similar to Li Jia?

The question that had been bothering Lin Fan resurfaced in his mind at this moment, he thought that there would be an answer if he pursued it like this, but the reality was still unsatisfactory, this trip to the pyramid did not gain anything, he still didn't know the origin of those people, and he didn't know why they attacked the pyramid, the truth seemed to be stuck again.

"Lin Fanjun, what are you thinking?"

The voice of the West Village Antelope pulled Lin Fan back from his thoughts, and Lin Fan noticed that the Antelope was beside him, she sat sideways with her legs together and looked at him, and her delicate goose egg face had a rather serious look at the moment.

"Ah, it's nothing, I was thinking about today's investigation!"

Lin Fan explained a little stiffly, maybe because the antelope was too close to him, he was a little uncomfortable, because as long as he moved his gaze down, he could see the color of the antelope's underwear under the neckline......

- White, Lin Fan thought to himself.

"Do you have time after dinner, I have something to tell you alone." The antelope didn't seem to notice Lin Fan's eyes, and said in a normal tone.

"What is it, can't you say it now?"

"I don't want anyone to know......" Antelope said with a lowered look in her eyes.

"Okay, I get it."

"Shall we meet here at ten o'clock that night?" Antelope's eyes flashed with joy.

"Well, no problem." Lin Fan nodded.

Seeing Lin Fan agree, Antelope smiled with relief and then got up and sat back in her original seat.

After dinner, everyone dispersed from the balcony and prepared to go back to their rooms to rest.

Lin Fan and the first mate were in the same room, the first mate fell asleep in the room because he drank too much, and Lin Fan saw that he had an appointment with the antelope tonight, so he couldn't take care of him.

It's almost time to make an appointment with the antelope, Lin Fan left the room early and went to the rooftop, the wind on the rooftop was stronger than during dinner, and the cool breeze whistled across the night sky of the entire city, this brightly lit desert city was already calm at the moment, a curved crescent moon was hanging high above the night sky at the moment, the moonlight was blurred, Lin Fan couldn't help but think of the white granite carved with a moon pattern that he saw in the pyramid stone room today, "Maybe thousands of years ago, the Egyptians were also addicted to this moonlight, That's why the moon was carved in their pharaoh's tomb? He thought to himself.

"Ah, Lin Fanjun, are you coming up so soon?" The voice of the antelope came from behind, and Lin Fan turned around to see that the antelope was still wearing the light blue shirt and gray skirt from the dinner just now.

"Uh-huh, yes, it's very windy up there, should we go down?" Lin Fan saw that the night breeze was blowing and the antelope skirt was hunting, and he was a little embarrassed.

"No, it's fine." Antelope shook her head, she walked up to Lin Fan, "That, Lin Fanjun, what I want to talk to you about......" She seemed to be thinking about words, and paused for a while before saying: "Lin Fanjun, Ning Enqun has been found near the Sea of Japan!" ”

"What? Ningen appeared in the Sea of Japan? Lin Fan felt that this was a bit incredible, from the South Pole to the Sea of Japan was thousands of kilometers away, how could those Ning En's swim so far?

"I know from watching the news that there are many people who have witnessed Ningen near the Sea of Japan, and I think they may have been attracted by the little Ningen that Sanyo captured before."

"When did this happen?"

"Just a few days ago, before we came to Egypt."

"Why didn't you tell me earlier?"

Antelope lowered her head, "I haven't had the right opportunity to talk to you...... Lin Fanjun, I want to ask you for one thing. ”

"What's the matter?"

Antelope raised his head, looked at him with those big clear eyes and said, "Can you go back to Japan with me, I want to save those Ning En, I don't want them to be hurt by humans." ”

"To Japan?" Lin Fan was a little overwhelmed, "Just the two of us?" Right now? ”

"Hmm." Antelope nodded.

Lin Fan didn't know how to decide, he couldn't bear to refuse the antelope, but he didn't want to give up tracking down those mysterious people, so he could only find an excuse and said: "Antelope...... I think this matter may need to be carefully considered...... Deng Jinbo will not let us out of his sight easily. ”

"I have a way to convince Mr. Deng to let us go to Japan." Antelope replied directly.

"What? Are you sure to convince him? Lin Fan was a little surprised.

"Hmm," Antelope replied confidently, "Lin Fanjun, are you unwilling to go to Japan?" She asked again.

"Antelope, I don't mean that, I just don't think I can be in such a hurry......" Lin Fan thought about it, and found a reason that he thought Antelope could accept, "Why don't we delay for a few days, and after the investigation on this side of the pyramid is over, I will go with you to Deng Jinbo to talk about going to Japan, what do you think?" ”

Antelope looked at Lin Fan and nodded slowly.

……

Two days later, Lin Fan's investigation of the Pyramid of Khufu was basically completed, and from the information obtained by Deng Jinbo and the Egyptian police, the identity and motive of the person who destroyed the pyramid were still not found.

The night before leaving, Nishimura Antelope found Lin Fan and mentioned going to Japan again, Lin Fan has seen the news of a large number of strange creatures found off the coast of Japan from the Internet in the past two days, judging from the sighting cases, these creatures are undoubtedly Ning En, and there are many of them, their appearance has caused a sensation around the world, and the Japanese government has decided to capture Ning En's live body in the nearby waters for research.

"Lin Fanjun, we're leaving Cairo, aren't we? What about going to Japan...... How do you think about it? Antelope asked cautiously.

"Well, I'll go with you." Lin Fan replied, and the antelope was immediately overjoyed.

"But Lingzi, are you really sure to convince Deng Jinbo?"

"Yes, I can convince Mr. Deng."

That night, Lingzi went to Deng Jinbo to tell him about going to Japan, but she refused to be accompanied by Lin Fan, and Lin Fan couldn't figure out what reason she would use to persuade Deng Jinbo, just waiting for her news in the room.

Lin Fan didn't wait too long, Ye Wei soon came to him, saying that Deng Jinbo had something to discuss with him. Lin Fan and Ye Wei came to the living room of the suite next door, only to see Deng Jinbo and Lingzi sitting on the sofa on both sides of the coffee table, Chen Ming standing next to Deng Jinbo, it seems that Deng Jinbo and Lingzi have finished talking and are waiting for him to come over.

Deng Jinbo motioned for Lin Fan to take a seat, and then asked in a calm tone: "Lin Fan, Miss Nishimura plans to return to Japan in the near future, what is your opinion?" ”

"I know, because Ning'en appeared in the Sea of Japan, the antelope wants to protect them, and I will go with her then." Lin Fan replied.

"Protect Ning'en, yes?" Deng Jinbo said and glanced at the antelope, only to see the antelope holding his arm with one hand and not speaking.

"I have no objection to you going to Japan, and if necessary, I will let Chen Ming accompany you." Deng Jinbo agreed unexpectedly, which made Lin Fan a little unexpected, and then he said: "But before you go to Japan, I have news for you to know." ”

"What's the news?"

"Yesterday our satellite spotted a giant dragon off the coast of Morocco, and it seems to be swimming towards the Atlantic." Deng Jinbo replied.

Lin Fan's heart moved, and he immediately asked, "Then can we still catch up with it?"

"Old Gu (Gu Yuliang) has already chased after him, and we will do everything we can to lock down its movements." Deng Jinbo looked at him and then at Antelope, and said, "So you still want to go to Japan with Miss Antelope?" ”

"I ...... I ......" Lin Fan suddenly hesitated, he saw that the antelope was looking at him, and her expression was a little worried.

"I ...... Or accompany the antelope back to Japan. Lin Fan replied.

The antelope lowered his head, revealing a very complicated expression, Deng Jinbo smiled and said: "Okay, I understand, I will let Chen Ming take care of the things for you to go to Japan, and the others will return to the ship with me tomorrow." ”

Early in the morning of September 7, everyone packed their bags and prepared to leave Cairo.

Everyone was surprised to learn that Lin Fan was going to Japan with Antelope, Lin Fan had to explain the purpose of going to Japan this time, Antelope was silent throughout the whole process, and seemed to be preoccupied, and finally everyone said goodbye to Lin Fan and Antelope and left the hotel by car, leaving only Lin Fan, Antelope and Chen Ming.

"Lin Fanjun, am I getting in the way of you......." The antelope looked at the departing crowd and said softly.

"No, Antelope, don't think like this......" Lin Fan comforted her, although he did have a little regret in his heart when he said so.

"I know you care a lot about that dragon and those mysterious people, and it's too late for you to regret it." Antelope said lightly.

Lin Fan was seen through by her, and explained a little embarrassed: "How can I regret what I promised you?" I'm also very concerned about Ning En's safety, after all...... It saved us. ”

"Yes, if it weren't for its help at that time, and Lin Fanjun by your side, I might not be able to support it." Lingzi Road, Lin Fan also vividly remembered the scene of the Urashima Maru falling that day.

The antelope slowly turned around and said, "Lin Fanjun." ”

"What's wrong?"

She stepped forward and put her arms around him, buried her head in his arms and said, "Thank you." ”

Lin Fan was a little at a loss, holding the antelope's waist stiffly with both hands, thinking about how to respond to the girl's affection, but the antelope immediately retreated, only to see her eyes reddened and smiled: "I'm sorry Lin Fanjun, I'm really out of shape, I'll go back to the room to pack my things first, goodbye." ”

"Well, I'll see you later." Lin Fan looked at the antelope and ran back to her room, but he didn't expect that this would be the last time he and this girl would meet.
