Volume 1 First Encounter with Egypt Chapter 21 Finally arrived

Previous Chapter

This place - how does it feel a little familiar...... Did you go back again?

The lone wolf stood in place, looking around, and suddenly found himself going around and back in circles, how many times has this been?

"Big brother, in which direction is this temple going?"

After saying goodbye to Wu Tian yesterday, the lone wolf began to march towards the temple, but ...... A whole day passed, and he was still wandering around the palace.

"Why are you still you!" confirmed the look, it's still that person!

"Oh, it's you. Meet again. ”

"You've asked me the same question several times since yesterday!, haven't I been clear enough?" the passerby showed impatience, a faint sense of annoyance, feeling that he was being tricked by the other party.

The lone wolf was unusually calm, and said slowly, "Yes, but—I accidentally got lost." ”

The passer-by looked like he wanted to be angry and tried his best to control it, he gritted his teeth and said word by word: "This!

"The truth is that I'm lost. The lone wolf chewed on the branches, and his face was sincere, not like he was fooling passers-by.

"You!"

The hideous look of the passer-by explained his pain at the moment, he was so angry that he couldn't speak, and after taking several deep breaths before saying, "You wait for me here tomorrow morning, and I will take you over myself!" It was obvious that he was absolutely dead to the lone wolf and came up with the only solution.

"No, I'm in a hurry. ”

"What time are you in a hurry, what can you do now, it's getting dark, don't you know-" The passer-by leaned closer and whispered, "Don't you know that the temple is haunted at night?"

"I know. ”

"I know you're still going over!?" all kinds of complicated emotions surged on the faces of passers-by.

The lone wolf nodded firmly.

The passer-by sighed and gave up, he pointed to the corner in front of him, and with the last of his strength, said: "Remember, after turning the corner in front, walk a little longer, then turn in this direction, and then continue to go forward, and the next street will turn in the direction of sunset, and then you can see that the temple is not far ahead." Got it!?"

The lone wolf frowned, thought seriously for a moment, and said, "You say it again, I almost remember everything. ”

The passer-by, clenched his fists, reluctantly repeated it again.

"Okay, thank you, big brother! We'll see you next time!"

"Don't see you, I don't want to see you again......"

The lone wolf challenged the temple again, and he could only blame the street for being too complicated, with so many forks and alleys, that he was dizzy, and every time he walked, he didn't know which direction to turn, and he accidentally returned to the palace. In fact, he was also desperate.

The direction of the sunset, the direction of the sunset, the direction of the sunset......

He kept muttering, looking up to keep an eye on the sun that was about to set, and around the next corner, he turned in that direction without hesitation.

At this time, the believers in the temple had already evacuated in twos and threes, and went away from the temple, as if avoiding some kind of plague, lest they would not be able to hide.

The men noticed a man approaching from a distance in the direction of the temple, who was extremely protruding, diametrically opposed to the direction of the others, and they looked at the man with a puzzled expression, as if he were looking at a monster.

There is no doubt that it is a lone wolf.

He came slowly with heavy steps, not noticing this anomaly at all, and walked his own way on his own, with only one goal - to find the temple!

Gazing at the high wall, he fell into meditation, "This place—it doesn't seem to be impressive, I shouldn't have been there." ”

In the street outside the temple, the stall people cleaned up one after another, everyone was busy with their hands and feet, silent, and the dull atmosphere made it impossible to talk, and they just wanted to finish their work quickly.

"Boss, this is the temple, right?" asked the lone wolf, still cheering up.

Faced with this person who appeared out of nowhere, the stall owner showed a puzzled look, and at the same time was a little irritated because of the interruption of work, so he replied impatiently while cleaning up the stall, "Yes, isn't this obvious?"

The lone wolf looked thoughtful and said to himself, "It's really so close...... I've been gone for a whole day......"

"What, where is it so close?"

"Oh, I said the palace is close to the temple. ”

"It's very close, only a few streets away, a few turns, a short walk to get there, it's impossible to walk for a day," the boss looked at the lone wolf with a suspicious look, showing an expression of disbelief, and then added a knife, "Are you sure you've been walking for a whole day?"

The lone wolf stared at the stall owner and nodded seriously, as if this was a routine operation, his face was not red and his heart was not beating, and his heart was completely undisturbed.

"I accidentally got lost. ”

"Huh...... Hehe......" The boss smiled awkwardly, and then silently continued to clean up his work.

After a lot of hardships, he finally arrived at the temple, and the lone wolf looked at the street in front of him, and was very emotional.

"It's finally here!"

The boss glanced back at him and didn't answer.

"Boss, has there been a ghost fire in the temple recently?"

"Shh......h

The boss hurriedly signaled to be quieter and pulled the lone wolf aside.

"There were, just last night! Two more soldiers died, you don't know how miserable, they were burned all over their bodies, and they couldn't be recognized. Don't ask about these things, everyone doesn't want to talk about them anymore, and it's terrifying to think about. ”

After hearing this, the lone wolf patted his head and said with annoyance, "Alas...... It's all because I'm lost, otherwise I can still run into it. ”

"What stupid things are you talking about! You still want to run into it! You don't want to die! How many soldiers have been burned alive, but there is nothing they can do. What can you do, hurry home and get ready for bed, and don't run around at night. ”

"That ghost fire, it's very powerful?"

"The soldiers are gone, you say it's not powerful!"

"Well—it's hard to say. ”

The stall owner rolled his eyes, expressing disdain for the lone wolf's inexplicable self-confidence.

"All the ghost fires are in the temple?"

"No, no, no, it's all outside, in this realm of God, every time it's ......"

"Knock ......"

The bronze bell in the temple rang suddenly, and almost at the same time, the flat pole in the boss's hand fell and slammed into the ground.

As if an ultimatum had been given, a look of worry appeared on everyone's faces, as if there was not much time left for them, and they had to seize the last time to evacuate.

"Boss ......"

"Okay, okay, don't be the boss before the boss, I don't have time to take care of you, the bronze bell has been ringing, the curfew will start soon, I'm not here to answer your questions, the things haven't been done, you hurry up, don't bother me anymore." ”

The boss hurriedly cleaned up, but the more anxious he became, the more he made a mistake, and the things fell to the ground, and after finally finishing the tidying, he turned around and was about to leave, completely ignoring the existence of the lone wolf next to him.

"Boss, you wait first, I still have a few questions......"

The boss was stunned and said with a vicious attitude: "Get out of the way, if you don't want to live, you can continue to stay here, I don't want to put my life on the line!"

"Just a few questions, see if you can ......"

"No, not any of them! Don't stop me, or I'm going to do it." As he spoke, he tried to push away the lone wolf in front of him, but found that the other party didn't move at all.

"You're no match for me. ”

"I can't beat it...... If you can't beat me, you have to let me go back, get out of the way!"

"Alas...... I don't know what you're afraid of......"

In desperation, the lone wolf had to step aside, letting go of his last hope, chewing on the branch, watching the boss flee in a hurry, and shook his head gently.

Since the bell rang, everything near the temple seemed to be pressed the fast-forward button at the same time, and everyone subconsciously increased their pace and rhythm, and they were affected not only by their movements, but also by their psychological state, becoming extremely anxious, as if they wanted to escape from everything here.

When the fast forward lasted for a certain amount of time and everyone evacuated safely, all of this was instantly pressed the end button, and it all came to an abrupt end, and the world fell silent.

The lone wolf stood still, watching the doors of the temple behind him slam shut one by one, and before long, the streets were empty, and he was the only one left in deep thought—why was everyone afraid of ghost fire?

The soldiers began to patrol and, seeing the lone wolf still wandering in the streets, drove away unceremoniously.

"The curfew is about to start, you, hurry home. ”

Finally seeing a living person, the lone wolf stepped forward and accosted: "Eh, two soldier brothers, when did that ghost fire appear?"

"I don't know, I don't know, don't tell us about those damn fires!"

"Don't you really know?"

"Get out!"

"Why are you still stunned here, hurry back, now we will go on patrol first, don't let us see you again for a while, otherwise you will be rude!"

"Oh. ”

The lone wolf, who was bored with himself, didn't pay attention to the soldiers who were slowly moving away, and he was thinking about a question: should he sleep first or stand here and wait for the ghost fire to appear?

It is rumored that the appearance of ghost fire is in the middle of the night, and it is indeed early now, and it is more than enough time to sleep and wake up, so it is better to rest first, and you are tired after a day of walking.

Thinking about it, he hesitated again, and fell into extreme chagrin, if it wasn't for accidentally getting lost, he would have been able to run into the ghost fire last night, and the result was ...... He sighed helplessly.

The lone wolf was a little unwilling in his heart, and he was unwilling to miss such an opportunity again, so he decided to insist on it again...... Maybe the ghost fire is coming soon.

"Goo-Goo......

The sound of protest came from his stomach cold, he frowned, chewed the branch in his mouth vigorously, and after many attempts, he found that it did not have much effect, and he remembered that he had not eaten anything for several days.

"Hmm...... It doesn't seem to work very well. ”

In the end, he decided to go to sleep first, so that he would not feel hungry again.

The lone wolf walked through the realm of the gods, and in the nearest alley, lay down without hesitation, his head resting on his arms, looking out into the vast night sky.

Soon, he fell asleep.
