Wang Shi ran back with a grin, holding a large handful of bubbling lamb skewers in his hand, the whole person seemed to have been injected with stimulants, his eyebrows were smiling, and he couldn't control it.

"Mr. Chen, Miss Xiwei, let's go in? After I am busy with the two of you, I have another task to receive tour groups, so I can't accompany you all day. Of course, this is an era when money is paramount, and if you need it, as long as you pay me the tour guide fee, everything will be negotiable. She opened the door for me with her chili hand, not caring at all about the reserved nature of a girl, which was very different from Xiwei.

I glanced at her satchel, which was a small bag more than when I left.

"It could have been a bundle of bills – she used the excuse of 'going to the bathroom' that she must have gone to see her accomplices and then came back with some of the stolen money. As an obscure Chinese tour guide, what information does she have in her hand that can sell for a lot of money? Probably the real video tape of the person who appeared on the 'big corridor'? In addition to me, there are other people who are interested in Leng Xin's appearance, who could it be?"

I stepped out of the car and led the way to the entrance of the pyramid.

Xiwei and Wang Shi fell behind, talking in a low voice, and from time to time laughter came to my ears.

Tickets to the Great Pyramid are quite expensive, after all, it is the most important tourist attraction in Africa, and it is unrepeatable on a global scale. When I stepped on the earthy yellow boulder staircase, I suddenly felt an inexplicable yin wind rushing towards me, and I shivered four or five times in a row.

A large group of Japanese tourists chirped and talked about me, striding into the low, narrow entrance, as if swallowed by a monster, without a sound.

I suddenly remembered Tang Mei, but it was a pity that she was absent now, otherwise I would be able to connect Leng Xin's appearance with the bottomless pit at the top of the tower, and it was very likely that the truth of the matter would be deduced.

The large corridor is not far from the entrance, and at first glance it is nothing more than a gray corridor sandwiched between stone walls on both sides, and there is nothing to describe from the outside. The walls are not smooth, and the stones in many places are rubbed by tourists to shine shiny, and even more, some unscrupulous tourists also use knives to carve Chinese and foreign characters such as "so-and-so visit here" on the stone walls.

The group of Japanese tourists walked extremely fast, overtaking seven or eight procrastinating tour groups one after another, all the way to the depths of the promenade. I noticed that several of the men were very athletic, but they were quite agile, and they should be hidden masters.

"Mr. Chen, the front is coming soon—" Wang Shi caught up.

Thirty paces ahead, there are more than a dozen black-clothed men in a semi-circle circle, occupying half of the passage, leaving only a narrow passage one meter wide on the right for tourists to pass through. They turned their backs to the stone wall on the left, crossed their arms in front of their chests, and their chins were raised, completely oblivious to the people passing in front of them.

Through the gap in the circle, a woman in a purple mink fur emerged, standing facing the stone wall, as if in deep thought.

Xiwei was stunned: "That seems to be-"

Wang Shi shrugged his shoulders: "What doesn't seem to be the same, that is Mrs. Charlotte, the richest man in Cairo City, ranking twelfth in the world in terms of total assets." ”

As far as I know, Charlotte was the dream girl of the rich in Africa, and she concentrated almost all the virtues of a good woman, and many desert bards often compared her to Cleopatra.

Wang Shi suddenly scratched her hair, and grabbed my sleeve with a wry smile on her face: "Mr. Chen, it's really strange, the place she is facing is where Miss Leng appeared." At that time, I was just like her, standing in front of the stone wall and seeing the strangest scene. What should we do now? Her bodyguards are all so skilled that they can't even be provoked by the presidential guard, should we avoid them first?"

I nodded, "Okay, hopefully she'll leave soon." ”

When the group of Japanese approached Charlotte's men, they all looked at the people in the circle, and their pace naturally slowed down.

"Hey, hurry up, let's go, look around, and pick out your eyeballs!" The big men unceremoniously shouted in Japanese, not saving any face for the international friends who came from afar.

The dozen or so men had their right hands all in their trouser pockets, apparently carrying firearms with them. Egypt's treasury has always been empty, and Cairo's wealthy people have a large amount of donations and taxes flowing into the government's pockets every year, so from the president to officials of various departments, they will give special care to the rich people, and let them raise bodyguards and eagles and dogs, which are rampant on the land of Egypt.

The Japanese obediently bypassed, not daring to have any objections.

"Mr. Chen, the place has been pointed out to you, can I leave now?The rest of the bounty can be given or not, anyway, you have already paid so much-" Wang Shi shook my arm pitifully, and the fear of the group of big men in the distance was overflowing.

Xiwei suddenly sneered: "Miss Wang, why are you in such a hurry to leave?

Wang Shi was stunned, suddenly pressed the satchel in front of him tightly, and hurriedly shook his head to confess: "That's all the money I deserve, Miss Xiwei, Mr. Chen, I brought the news, even if it is to help Miss Leng, it should be understandable to earn these honorariums, right?"

I kept my face silent and let her continue her pretending to be pitiful.

The promenade is just a passage inside the pyramid, and since the official opening of the pyramid for tourism, tens of millions of tourists have passed through it every year, but no one has paid attention to this black stone wall. The interest has long been directed at the ornate frescoes of the royal and queen rooms or in the depths of the pyramids, and the detailed dimensions and angles of the large corridors can only be found in the archaeologists' notebooks.

Now, Charlotte was also standing in front of the stone wall, and seemed to have been standing for a long time, quite interested in that stone wall. If it weren't for the inside information, a rich man like her wouldn't have deigned to come here.

The only explanation is that she received secret information from Wang Shi.

"You're smart, Miss Wang, I guess Mrs. Charlotte is just one of those in the know, right? Honestly, how many people did you sell the information to?" Syvi's tone became more and more unfriendly, her gaze kept looking at Charlotte, occasionally glancing anxiously at the tourists who passed us.

I realized that there are surprisingly many tourists today, usually only on international holidays during the peak tourist season, and most of them have very stiff expressions on their faces, just hurrying to the road, with little conversation between their companions, obviously absent-minded.

Wang Shi was a little panicked, and retorted loudly: "I don't understand what you're talking about!" Her hands pressed the lid of the satchel and secretly stepped back.

I silently moved my footsteps, formed an angle with Xiwei, and blocked Wang Shi in front of the stone wall.

"Hey, what's going on, what are you doing?" a young man with a ponytail and a yellow leather jacket rushed over and stood in front of Wang Shi. This is an Arab man with yellow skin, black hair, and black eyes, but his eyes are slightly puffy, with the distinctive characteristics of staying up late and malnourishing.

"I just wanted to ask her a few questions, it's none of your business. I shook my head with a blank face, and kept my voice low so as not to alarm the people on Charlotte's side.

"Sea of gold, pyramid treasures" is a very sensitive word, as long as the slightest information related to it is revealed, it will immediately produce the effect of water droplets falling into the boiling oil, and the characters of the eight rivers and lakes are scrambling to hear the wind. There is no definite evidence that Leng Xin's disappearance is related to the treasure, but I think each faction with a heart to the pyramid will be closely monitoring the progress of the robbery.

"Five, or ten, how many people did you sell the materials to?" Looking over the shoulders of the ponytail, Wang Shi seemed to have a backer, his body was straight, and his expression was much more relaxed.

"Who are the people who received the information? You'd better make a list of the buyers—" Sylvie added beside me.

Ponytail suddenly raised his right hand, and a snowy jumping knife appeared in his palm: "Stay away, the knife doesn't have eyes." I don't know anything you're talking about, but don't bully this little girl, or I'll give you a break first, do you understand?" his knife shook at Xiwei, and the sharp edge on the tip of the knife flashed directly on the dim stone wall.

I only took one step forward, and Huo's hand reached out, and the jumping knife landed in my palm. The ponytail shook his right wrist hard, hoarsely. I've seen a lot of underworld ruffians like him who only know how to bluff, and I wouldn't even bother to pay attention to him if he hadn't shown his knife to Xiwei.

"I didn't...... Mr. Chen, I really haven't done anything. You see, I never left the hotel and was always with you. For Miss Leng's sake, will you let us go?" Wang Shi grabbed her ponytail arm, and the corners of her mouth twitched one after another in distress.

Judging from the clothes in the ponytail, he is the motorcycle rider who once appeared next to our car, and his relationship with Wang Shi is extraordinary. From this point of view, the secret of Leng Xin's appearance must have been spread by his hands.

"Who the hell did you give the information to?" Sylvie took a step closer and stared straight into her ponytail.

"I don't know, I don't know anything. Ponytail's eyes widened fiercely, and he gritted his teeth and shook his head vigorously.

I pressed the switch, the blade on the jumping knife retracted, threw it to him, and smiled faintly: "Let's go, this matter is over." ”

The leakage of the information has become uncollectible, and it is meaningless to simply embarrass young people who don't know the depths, and even if they are left around, it is only two more burdens, it is better to let them go, and everyone will break up.

"What, let us go?" the ponytail froze, as if he didn't expect things to be so easy to solve.

Wang Shi dragged his arm: "Okay, let's go, let's go......" The two quickly ran towards the entrance by sticking to the stone wall, colliding with the oncoming tourists from time to time.

Xiwei sighed, "Things have messed up for them—"

I shook my head: "There is still a chance to redeem things, our purpose is to get Leng Xin back, and there is no absolute conflict with the underworld forces searching for treasures." Take this opportunity to tell me the details of Lady Charlotte, or analyze the reason why she is in it. ”

A woman who is sitting on a huge wealth in the city should not be related to exploration, tomb robbing, and killing. Her wealth cannot be compared to the sea of gold, but it is almost second to none on the African continent, and as the ancient Chinese said, "the son of a thousand daughters cannot sit down", she should be lying in a mansion in Cairo City at the moment to enjoy the wind and snow, not standing in the dirty and dry desert.

The light in the promenade is not very bright, after all, the attention of the pyramid keepers and tourists is mainly in a few famous burial chambers, and there is little interest in this section of the corridor, so the lighting equipment installed is far away.

I could only see Charlotte on the side and could feel her concentration as she stared at the stone wall, so much so that her thick, slender eyelashes flickered once in a long time. The tourists passing by in the corridor noticed her, and the whispers became louder and louder, but she was unmoved, just staring at the stone wall steadily.

"What does she want to understand, what can she understand?" I sighed, and the impatience and anxiety that had come from Cairo City to the pyramids slowly fell silent. Anyway, I've already arrived at the place where the incident happened, and if anything unusual happens, what she can see, I can see too.

Little is known about the details of the rich woman, so there are countless speculations and gossip about it, and there are even rumors that her ancestors were female pirates in the Caribbean, and she lived in seclusion after a big robbery - of course, the groundless gossip is not worth the recourse. On the surface, Mrs. Charlotte has a good relationship with the Egyptian government, as well as with some of Africa's most powerful people, and she has been generous in her international philanthropic activities......"

It can be seen that Xiwei has a good impression of Charlotte, and every sentence is about the other party's merits.

"Ha, what are you talking about, if you want to ask Lady Charlotte about her private affairs, I should be the one who is—" A young man's chuckle rang out behind me.

I turned around slowly, just in time to see a fair-skinned, slender hand with five fingers about to put it on Xiwei's left shoulder.

"Stop. I let out a low cry and put my hand in the air.

Standing in front of me was a young man in a gray leather jacket and gray jeans, with long, messy hair draped over his shoulders. He wore a pair of large, wide-brimmed sunglasses, the corners of his mouth turned up disdainfully, and the brass pipe in his mouth was shaking all the time.

He didn't withdraw his hand, glanced at me, his eyes fell back to Xiwei's face, and smiled lightly: "Miss Xiwei? We meet again, is this what you Chinese call 'meeting thousands of miles away'?"

Xiwei took a step closer to me and smiled faintly, "Mr. Xiagai, it turned out to be you." ”

"Hey, friend, take your hands off the side, don't you see that I am good friends with Miss Sylvie, and you want to be fussy and troublesome!" Xia Gai lifted his chin, not taking me seriously.

I've heard his name, an eccentric student expelled from MIT, and Charlotte's younger brother.

"We are not friends - Mr. Chen, Mr. Xia Gai is very busy, it is very rare to be able to stop and say hello to us, so let's ask him to take care of himself. "Shelvie took my arm and leaned close to me, showing her intimacy.

I didn't mean to make trouble, I just didn't want Xiwei to infringe on others inexplicably, hearing her say this, she smiled slightly, and was about to withdraw her hand, but Xia Gai shook his wrist and actually used the "hand wrapping technique" in Japanese judo, grabbed my wrist, and wanted to throw me out. I couldn't see that this young man who was as thin as a bamboo pole had quite strong internal strength, and I was carelessly dragged by him, and I stepped forward and stuck face to face with him.

"Okay, it's just a misunderstanding, let's stop?" I smelled the strong smell of alcohol coming from him, and immediately held my breath and tilted my head back quietly.

"Misunderstanding? You want to be a flower protector, I want you to be good enough, haha-" His shoulders twisted to the left, bent his knees, and performed the "back throw" technique in judo, in short, to make me make a fool of myself in front of Xiwei.

In terms of personal strength, it would have been easy for me to defeat Shagai, but I didn't want to. At his age, he likes to compete for the limelight in front of beautiful girls, which is the inevitable result of irrepressible hormonal impulses. It's easy for him to make a fool of himself, but it will hurt his self-esteem ten times more irreparable.

Sylvie had already let go of my arm, took a few steps back, and crossed her arms to watch from the wall.

Xia Gai used two consecutive exertions, but failed to pull my body, and suddenly thrust his right foot forward, entered the middle of my legs, and slashed my Adam's apple with his right palm. This kind of action is no longer as simple as being in the limelight, and I can guess that he is not here just to tease Xiwei, but has a more complex purpose.

With a "snap", the palm of his hand made contact with the Adam's apple, but Xia Gai's face suddenly changed, because he should be able to clearly hear the sound of his finger bones shattering.

"I forgot to tell you, my 'Iron Cloth Fir, Golden Bell Jar' has been practiced to a very high level, even if a horn iron is smashed over, it will be bent, let alone a palm?" I stared at his face until the pipe clicked to the ground, and the smoke with sparks was scattered everywhere.

He gritted his teeth and took off his sunglasses, revealing a pair of eyes with blurred eyes and droopy bags due to excessive wine: "You, you-"

Not far behind Xia Gai, stood Wang Shi and the young man with a ponytail who I had disarmed, and there was no doubt that Xia Gai and Charlotte were their buyers. They all had gloating expressions on their faces, as if Xia Gai's miss had been expected by them.

Xi Wei lowered her voice: "Mr. Chen, Wang Shi sold the information to Charlotte, it seems that it should be expensive, I wonder how she would be interested in Miss Leng Xin?" Unconsciously, she naturally grabbed my arm again.

After thinking about it for a while, I have figured out this question, in fact, Charlotte may not be interested in Leng Xin, but the place where Leng Xin fell or something else that Wang Shi saw. In this world, Leng Xin's life and death are meaningless to anyone else except me.

"Oh, I see—" Shevi's train of thought was pretty much the same as mine, and she had thought of it in a matter of seconds.

I patted the back of her hand and shook her head slightly, motioning for her not to say much, lest Shagai guess the outcome of our thoughts. Suddenly, Sylvie gasped, shivered, and stared at the front of her eyes stupidly, no longer making a sound.

Next to Wang Shi and the young man stood another man in black, his appearance was the same as Xia Gai's, both tall and thin, with huge sunglasses on his face. The only difference was that his hands were always on his chest, and his fingers were clasped together, as if he was wearing some kind of handprint.

Xiwei's gaze was attracted by that person, and her body seemed to be frozen, motionless.

"Miss Sylvie?" I whispered to her, but she didn't look back, and suddenly let go of my arm and took a step forward, standing side by side with Chagai.

Xia Gai had an evil smile on his face, and a hand was pulled up to Xiwei's waist: "Hehe, Miss Xiwei, coming here is the normal behavior of a good girl, our Angel Eye Club needs a beautiful girl like you." Come on, come on......" The beauty was on his side, and he had long forgotten all about the pain in his hands.

"Don't touch her, I said, 'Don't, touch, her'—" I let out a loud voice, not in a high pitch, but I immediately shocked Xia Gai, and my arm stopped half a foot away from Xiwei's body, not daring to make any more obscene moves.

The man in black strode forward, bringing a shadowless and invisible strong wind, forcing Wang Shi and Ponytail to retreat in a hurry, almost colliding with a few tourists who had just walked in.

"Priest, this guy is too arrogant, you quickly put him down and tell him to be honest!" Xia Gai became excited, and the sunglasses hooked on his little finger dangled proudly, and his face was full of treacherous evil smiles.

The man in black took a total of fifteen steps forward, and stood three paces away from me, his palms in one point. At that moment, ten tiny bolts of lightning suddenly flashed on the tips of his ten fingers, intertwined into a brilliant power grid, flashing seven or eight times in a row before disappearing.

"Mr. Chen Ying?" he sniffed, his English with an Egyptian native accent was passable.

I nodded, and when he sent lightning with his fingers, it was enough to show that this was a martial arts master who had reached the pinnacle of internal strength, not only could he use his internal force to injure people, resist qi, and control people, but also be able to transform into the ultimate killer move such as "palm thunder".

"Priest, put him down, hurry!" said Shagai, laughing, as if foreseeing the outcome of my fight with the man in black.

"It's been a long time since I heard your name, and I only met it for the first time today, and I have to say that it's a pity-" The man in black took a long breath, and his slender body slowly tensed.

I couldn't make out the look in his eyes under the sunglasses, but I could feel that this was a pretty formidable opponent. There aren't too many masters of magic on the continent, and I have an impression of the top 50 people, but unfortunately he is not among them.

"For the pyramids, I'm just a passerby, and I don't have any regrets about meeting me or not. I replied indifferently.

"You are wrong, many times, it is an irreparable regret to pass by chance, especially a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. He took off his sunglasses, revealing his slender eyes, staring at me intensely.

I shuddered suddenly, and immediately felt a chill on my back, like being watched by a king cobra waiting for an opportunity.

After a few seconds, the man in black put back his sunglasses and sighed in a tone of regret: "Unfortunately, you are not as magical as the legend says. It seems that all rumors are not credible, and they are nothing more than false rumors. ”

The rumors in the rivers and lakes are mixed with a lot of exaggerated ingredients, I don't really think I am great, I just want to be an ordinary person calmly and live a calm life of an ordinary person with Leng Xin. Therefore, the words "people are terrible" do not apply to me, and no matter what the man in black says, it will not discourage me.

The real disappointment was Shagai, who did not see the expected fierce battle, and stamped his feet vigorously in dissatisfaction: "Priest, didn't you hear me......? If he hadn't reported himself before, it would have been really difficult for others to associate him with Charlotte, a wealthy woman.

Xiwei had already woken up from her confused state and gently pulled my arm: "Mr. Chen, let's go and see the stone wall, so as not to have too many dreams at night." ”

If it weren't for the entanglement between Xia Gai and the man in black, I would have thought of this, and I would have been able to stand beside Charlotte and inspect the stone wall earlier. The pyramids belong to the historical heritage of the whole world, and of course they cannot be monopolized by one person, and those cold and fierce thug bodyguards are actually vulnerable in my eyes.

"Where's hehe, Miss Shevie—" Chagay screamed and slid over, grabbed Shyvi's left wrist with his right hand, grabbed it tightly, and leaned in with a hippie smile.

I stopped giving him any warning and cut back with my left hand, hitting him in the right armpit. After a soft click, Xia Gai dislocated the shoulder joint of his right arm, and squatted down with a scream, and the curse suddenly increased, stirring up a burst of hollow echoes in the corridor.

The man in black moved extremely fast, approaching like the wind, and pressed his hands on my shoulders, and then closed them like ten-fingered iron tongs, but he didn't have time to perform the lightning attack on his fingertips. The two of us were close to each other, the corners of his mouth twitching forcefully, and the muscles of his tall, thin cheekbones were torn and twisted.

With a bang, I shook my shoulders to unload his ten fingers, then flew up with my right foot and kicked on his lower abdomen.

The encounter lasted just three seconds before it was terminated.

"A very tough opponent—" That's how I really felt, his lower abdomen was as hard as a rock, and I couldn't make a kick with 70% power. In normal times, this kick can best break an inch-thick plank.
