She forced a smile, her instinct telling her that the rest of the journey might not be as peaceful as she had thought at first.

O'Connor picked up a revolver in his hand and examined it, his face serious.

"Miss, there's something in that place. ”

As he said this, he spun his ** and made a clicking sound, and seeing that the revolver showed no signs of jamming, he raised his eyes and stared at Evelyn again as a warning, and at the same time put the revolver into the holster attached to the belt.

The scene three years ago seems to have happened yesterday. When he was cornered by the local warlords in Hamnata and was about to be shot by a volley of enemies, the horses under these men suddenly seemed to be frightened for no reason, and fled uncontrollably.

If that was the end of the matter, he wouldn't have been so vigilant. The problem was that as soon as the fellows left, the sand under his feet was windless, and he was so frightened that he hurriedly stepped aside. As a result, when he looked back, there was a huge roaring human face where he had been standing.

Even though he was brave by nature, the first time he saw the supernatural, he was frightened enough at that time and hurriedly left there. After walking a few steps, he looked back and saw a group of men in black again. Good fellow, that place is not only weird, but also so complicated, according to common sense, he is not willing to go back to death. Now that he had to go back, he had no other way than to make adequate preparations in advance.

"There's something under the sand. ”

He tried to warn him, but Evelyn didn't grasp what he meant.

"Yes. She was only frightened by O'Connor's expression, and then said, "I hope to find an ancient artifact—a book, actually." My brother thinks there's treasure there, what do you think?" she said, taking a ring at the end of her purse, an object shaped like an eagle's claw, and frowning at it, wondering like a child what this strange thing was.

"To put it simply, the evil gate. He took off the *** that he had assembled into his hand, looked up at Evelyn and said, "The Bedouins believe that Hamnata is cursed. With that, he reached out and took the object shaped like an eagle's claw from Evelyn and assembled it into ***.

"I don't believe in the old stories, but I believe there is a famous ancient book there, the Golden Book of the Sun. She leaned over, her eyes lit up, "It contains all the secret charms of ancient Egypt, and this book has fascinated me with Egypt since I was a child, and I came here to pursue my dreams." At the end of the day, she was even more delighted.

O'Connor smiled at this, "So you don't care if the book is made of gold, do you?"

He knew human nature, and he thought he knew that Evelyn had come in search of treasure like everyone else, and suddenly realized that he had lost his eyes for the first time. The beauty in front of him, he began to be a little unable to see through.

"So you know it all!"

Evelyn looked surprised, O'Connor knew so much, it was obvious that the two had a point of similar interest, and this proved that he was a person with both appearance and connotation, and it was in line with her taste, and the girl secretly felt a little happy in her heart, and the more she looked at him, the more satisfied she became.

"I care about my treasures. He said freely, knowing so much, and not shy away from putting himself in the position of a layman, which made Evelyn appreciate him more and more.

Before the last trip to the Tower of Hamna, in order to find his destination, he roughly went through all the history related to Pharaoh Saiti, and naturally knew that the Golden Sutra of the Sun was made of gold. To him, this is just the truth. At the end of the day, straight men just think. As for how to carefully package himself, he had never thought about such a brain-burning thing.

Speaking of this, Evelyn restrained her smile, hesitated a little, and said expectantly: "By the way...... Why are you kissing me?" all her thoughts shifted from the Golden Book of the Sun to the tall and handsome man in front of her.

Hearing this, O'Connor smiled dumbly, he didn't think too much, and said frankly as before: "I'm dying, I have nothing to do anyway." ”

He is accustomed to seeing life and death, and when death befalls him, he does not take it seriously at all. It's just that they are all dying, and in the same way, he doesn't take the etiquette and upbringing that he observes on weekdays seriously, and completely indulges his desires and finds himself amusement. In his opinion, a forcible kiss is just what? Those who are on the verge of desperation do much more crazy things than him. From this point of view, he is still kind, at least inside and out, much better than ordinary people.

But the girl didn't think so, and in her opinion, it was all about treating her as a pastime, and there was no respect for her at all. Feeling offended, her impression of O'Connor dropped to freezing point in an instant.

The straight man's thinking greatly increased Evelyn's favorability one second, and the next second, it made her angry. With a "whoosh" of disbelief, she frowned and slammed her fist on the table and left the table angrily. O'Connor turned in confusion and watched Evelyn pass by him, watching her departing back.

"What's wrong? What did I say?"

He spread his hands and opened his mouth, looking innocent, the girl's mind was really incomprehensible to him.

"Uh-huh. ”

Suddenly, a slight exclamation, along with the sound of something being pushed down the aisle, was picked up by his keen hearing. O'Connor raised his pistol and turned his head alarmingly, and he saw a figure behind the shaking cargo, illuminated by the light, reflected on the wall. He quietly walked over, pulled out a roe deer with Little Red Riding Hood from behind the cargo, and pressed it against the cargo.

The person who was pulled out, seeing that O'Connor had discovered him, exclaimed, and hurriedly said: "It's so unexpected, you're still alive, thank God, I'm so worried." ”

He appeared to be sincere, trying to hide the fact that he was eavesdropping. O'Connor was apparently unmoved, still glaring at the man.

"Isn't this my old friend Benny?" he said, gritting his teeth, raising his pistol and aiming it at the man's chest, "I'm going to kill you." ”

He still remembers the original scene very clearly. At Hamnata, in the face of a large force of enemy troops, first the commander abandoned his arms and urged his horse to flee, and then Benny in front of him, leaving only one of his lieutenants and a group of soldiers. Forget it, who told the other side to be outnumbered, all on horseback and with guns? Who should not be afraid to see the momentum of this rushing? He will not blame Benny for this.

The problem was that when he ran out of bullets and had to throw away his gun and run away, he saw a huge movable bronze gate in front of him, so he asked Benny, who was running in front of him, to hide behind the door, but when Benny hid in, he neither waited for him nor listened to his call, but closed the stone door on his own and left him alone. Such selfishness, crossing the river and demolishing the bridge, how could O'Connor not be resentful.

This time he bumped into Benny, and O'Connor was furious. Seeing that he still looked innocent and tried to quibble, O'Connor was even more furious, and secretly decided to scare him, even if he didn't really kill him in the end.

Sure enough, as the gun was pointed at his chest, Benny became even more panicked: "Think of my child!" he immediately begged for mercy.

"You don't have children. ”

O'Connor squinted, with a look of contempt, easily debunked Benny's improvised lie in a simple sentence.

Benny then blurted out, "There will be." "His character is not very good, and under the desire to survive, the reaction is quite fast.

"Shut up!" O'Connor got tired of his performance and put his pistol in Benny's face, "So you're the leader of the Americans, no wonder! You're going to trick them into the desert and leave them to fend for themselves?"

From the moment he saw Benny, he knew that the three men before, along with the guy with a tome and hookah in his hand, and a small square hat on his head, who suspected to be a scholar of ancient Egyptian history, had been gathered together by the guy in front of him to go treasure hunting with him. Yes, Benny also escaped from Hamnata as well. It seems that the blonde man said that someone who has been there leads the way, and this person should be referring to the abominable guy in front of him.

He had the experience of being left behind by Benny regardless of the lives of others, so he said this, which was both a question and a mockery.

"Unfortunately, no. These Americans are smart, they pay half first, and the other half comes back, so I can't slip away halfway. ”

Contrary to common sense, Benny shamefully agreed, he really had such thoughts, and he was not ashamed to explain as if he should be sympathized. However, it is not surprising to O'Connor, who has been betrayed. For Benny, it is his nature to be deceived and deceived to the detriment of others and self-interest. In his opinion, it is actually normal to do this, and his conscience will never be condemned for this. Or rather, he has no conscience at all.

"Bad luck, isn't it?"

After listening to Benny's words, O'Connor finally put the pistol back into the holster, and mocked it in passing. Now, you don't have to do it yourself. In such a dangerous place, one careless person can die. The villain's blood is very dirty, and he decides to let God take Benny's life.
