Chapter 9: The Mystery of the Badge

When Zhao Mingding saw Moses Saviris at Cairo Airport, he was shocked beyond measure: through the flesh, he saw a new black United Nations badge carved on the bone in the middle of Moses' forehead, which was almost the same as the one on Andrew Collier's forehead.

Zhao Mingding clearly remembers that when he was training in Pattaya and when he returned after rescuing Ganshuang in Myitkyina, Moses was all right, and he did not have this badge on his forehead, because Zhao Mingding was observing the words, deeds and facial expressions of each member at all times.

The expression on anyone's face expresses the joys, sorrows, and sorrows in his heart.

Zhao Mingding's mind flashed back to the picture that Moses Saviris had sent to him: a dimly lit cave, with a stone wall carved with the emblem of the new United Nations.

Next to the coat of arms is a pattern of the old key in the ancient city. The two patterns are about 20 centimeters apart.

"Was it because Moses went into that cave that the badge appeared on the forehead bone? If that's the reason, then isn't that the badge on Andrew Collier's forehead coming from that? Zhao Mingding thought in his heart, and his voice remained unchanged, "What about your friend?" ”

"He's got something to do, he'll be waiting for us in the parking lot outside." While Moses was chatting with Zhao Mingding, he looked around, and Zhao Mingding knew that he was looking for George. Although they took off from different places, they arrived at Cairo airport at the same time.

A hand quietly stretched out from behind his back, to pull Zhao Mingding's collar, Zhao Mingding kicked back, kicked the other party, forced the other party away, and then turned around, kicked the other party in the chest head-on, and then saw that the person who came was George.

"Hello, Xiaoding, let's meet again." Seeing that his sneak attack failed, George opened his hands and hugged Zhao Mingding affectionately, then stretched out his right hand, shook hands with Moses, and said hello to each other.

In fact, only a small part of Egypt is in Asia, and its capital, Cairo, is located on the African continent, and administratively speaking, Egypt belongs to Africa, but George counts Nepal and Bhutan as one group, and Egypt as an Asian group.

Everyone laughed, walked out of the terminal, and walked towards the airport parking lot.

The names of Egyptian Arabs are generally composed of their first name, father's name, grandfather's name, and surname, but the full name is generally used only in formal occasions.

Sometimes the grandfather's name can be omitted, and even the patronymic can be omitted, and in the case of abbreviation, only the person's first name can be called.

In fact, many Arabs, especially those of the upper echelons of social status, call them by their surnames.

For example, Muhammad Abed Aruf Arafat, simply known as Arafat.

Coincidentally, the full name of Moses' friend was Muhammad Abed Aruf Arafat, or simply Arafat.

Muhammad Abedd Aruf Arafat, who was waiting in the parking lot, saw the three approaching, greeted them, and shook hands.

"Call me Muhammad or Arafat." Muhammad Abedd Aruf Arafat shook hands with Zhao Mingding and said with a smile, "I've been to China. For you Chinese, our names are too long and too difficult to remember. Ha ha! ”

Arafat was a cheerful young man, about twenty-one or twelve years old, tall, handsome, with a smile on his youthful face, but to Zhao's dismay, a new black United Nations badge was also carved on the bone in the middle of his forehead, the same as Moses's.

Could it be that there is a mysterious power in that cave, or that the badge carved into the stone wall of the cave has a mysterious power that will make the same badge appear on the bone in the middle of the forehead of the person who sees it?

It's like...... Stamped on a blank piece of paper?

Now, I'm here to go into that cave and see the badge carved into the stone wall and the old-fashioned key, and will the same badge appear on the bone in the middle of my forehead?

Zhao Mingding didn't know what to do for a while.

While talking and laughing with them, Zhao Mingding used his brains and was eager to find a solution.

While laughing with them, Zhao Mingding secretly observed the facial expressions of Moses and Arafat, even the slightest touch at the corner of his mouth.

No anomalies were found.

Why don't you find someone else in that cave and tell him to take a new picture and see if the same happens when he comes out? Zhao Mingding made up his mind.

Once in the car, Moses drove his SUV and started racing.

Cairo is the capital of Egypt and is known as the "ancient capital of the desert" because it is surrounded by the Sahara Desert on three sides, east and south, and west of the country, and has a hot and dry climate, making it the largest desert city in the world.

The ancient Egyptians called Cairo the "Mother of the Cities", and the Arabs called Cairo "Kahal", which means conqueror victor.

The Nile, the world's most famous river, flows through the city of Cairo and divides into two branches, continuing northward and flowing into the Mediterranean Sea, which separates Europe and Africa, forming the vast and rich Nile Delta. Tongdu Dayi Cairo, just south of this delta.

Cairo is located at the transportation hub of Europe, Asia and Africa, and people of all colors can be seen walking through the streets.

Cairo natives have wide robes and big sleeves, just like an ancient style. In some neighborhoods, you can occasionally see village girls riding donkeys to graze, which is a novelty.

This may be a microcosm of old Cairo or a remnant of ancient Cairo, but it doesn't hurt. The wheel of history still carries this famous city towards a more modern road.

Egypt's major roads and railways meet here, making it easy to travel with major cities in the country, and at the same time it is close to the Nile River, which is a major water transport route.

In Cairo, the ubiquitous building is the minaret.

In Arabic, the minaret is called "Mi Zan" and refers to the place where the muezzin stands and calls people to prayer.

Since the 7th century, with the widespread spread of Islam in West Asia and Africa, the art of mosque architecture has continued to develop, and the minaret has evolved into a variety of different styles, becoming an indispensable part of mosque architecture and a major highlight of Cairo.

Moses had already booked four of the most luxurious presidential suites in the Fairmont Nile City Hotel, one for Zhao Mingding and George, and one for him and Arafat, ready to accompany George and Zhao Mingding throughout the process.

This 5-star hotel is located in Nile City Towe on the banks of the Nile

Inside the S Tower, there is a rooftop pool deck with spectacular views of Cairo and the pyramids, as well as 8 dining options.

The hotel's 504 soundproofed rooms are decorated in an elegant Art Deco style. The room is equipped with a work desk and an interactive LCD TV, and the bathroom has a rain shower with sliding shutters.

t Nile City has a spacious fitness center with modern equipment and a well-equipped on-site business center.

I really had an occupational disease. Zhao Mingding put down the introduction materials of the hotel in his hand and smiled bitterly in his heart.

But that's fine, at least when I see Sister Yan, I will have a common topic to talk about with her.

As a strong woman, she seems to be focused on her career and has no room for her private life.

Early the next morning, according to Zhao Mingding's request, Moses found a homeless man on the street, and the five of them drove together to the cave where the badge was found.

Out of the city, there is a gravel road, Moses slammed the accelerator to the end, and the off-road vehicle raced all the way, raising a long saloon behind the car, covering the sky.

In the near end of the city, there were still a few trees here and there, and the farther away from the city, the more desolate it became, and at noon Moses stopped the car and brought out the prepared water and food to distribute to everyone.

After a short break, Arafat drove instead. He had been sleeping since he got into the car, and he was in good spirits, except for a refueling at a small gas station, and drove to the edge of the cliff where they had found the badge in the first place. Looking at the time, it was already three o'clock in the afternoon.

Along the way, not to mention wild beasts, even domestic animals have not seen a single one, what kind of hunt did he and Arafat fight?

Zhao Mingding secretly wondered: Is there a fraud?

Under the steep cliff is a canyon about 100 meters wide and about 30 or 40 meters deep, and the bottom of the valley is covered with a thick layer of fine sand, which is white and dazzling, stretching into the distance.

The cave, halfway up the cliff opposite. There are a few small bushes around the entrance of the cave, which are covered with a half-covered face, as if holding a lute.

Seeing the cave, George was so excited that he slid down the cliff and ran to the opposite side. Seeing this, Zhao Mingding also slid down, and several other people hurriedly followed, and after sliding off the cliff, they all ran towards the opposite side.

The cliff opposite, although also steep, is nothing at all for specially trained servicemen. Everyone climbed up in three or five clicks and came to the entrance of the cave.

George was about to go into the cave, but was stopped by Zhao Mingding, and asked Moses and Arafat to take the homeless man in first to take some pictures and come out, and then decide whether he wanted to go in or not.

Anyway, they both had the badge on the bone in the middle of their foreheads, and it would be nothing to go in again. Now let's see if the pattern of the badge will also be visible after the homeless man enters.

According to the price agreed before, Zhao Mingding paid the homeless man five hundred dollars.

Although the three of them only went in for a short five minutes, in Zhao Mingding's feelings, it seemed to be as long as five years.

Thankfully, the three of them finally came out.

The first one to come out was the homeless man, Zhao Mingding carefully examined his forehead, there was no badge pattern.

Zhao Mingding's heart that had been hanging was only then let go, however, looking at Moses and Arafat who came out behind him, he was almost so shocked that his jaw was about to fall: the badge pattern on the bone in the middle of their foreheads was gone, and disappeared without a trace.
