Naron's face became more and more pale and embarrassed, and he gently pressed the play button and sat down opposite me.

Sukan rushed out the door and began laughing loudly and singing, like a madman who had just been released.

"The pressure on him is too great, and in the last two years, with the strong support of Western conglomerates, he has a lot of hope to reach the pinnacle of his political career. But as soon as he saw his father's situation, this hope was immediately shattered like a dream bubble, and as long as it was a normal person, he couldn't help but go crazy. Uncle Chen, only you can save him this time—" Naren whispered, holding a wine glass in his hands and respectfully handing it to me.

"Money, land, or whatever we can pay, even my life, is a word. Her expression was solemn, with the almost brutal calmness inherent in a martyr.

I shook my head: "I don't need anything, if I have the ability to solve the mystery, I will go to great lengths." ”

As the most popular female bounty hunter in the underworld, does Tang Mei also realize that her end is near?I hope that she and Bai Li can unite and fight for the power to break the curse. It's a pity that all kinds of miscellaneous things are coming, and I can't even spare time to return to the temporary villa in Baili.

Although the Sanyo interview machine has been in use for a long time, its quality has not diminished at all, and the snake king's voice sounded clearly: "I must write down my nightmare tonight, if the curse of the 'Prometheus Fire' really exists, let it all fall on me, don't hurt the three young men in the tent." That dream was strange because I never knew where on Earth there would be so many giant snakes. It was as if I had entered a space with no top or bottom, and all of my body was full of long snakes rolling and entangled. As the serpent swam and rolled, I gradually slid downward, falling through countless slippery gaps in my body......"

There was wind and snow whistling in the background, which kept ringing, which showed that the weather conditions were not good that night.

Na Lun's fingers were crossed, his eyes were clasped tightly, his eyes fixed on the photo, his head hooked, and he was silent.

The king of earth is an iron warrior in the absolute sense, and the open and secret struggle with the new king of India lasted for more than ten years, and he faced the dilemma of exhaustion several times, but he survived the danger with extraordinary courage. People like him may be the most needed target for the owners of the "Feast of the Immortal Warriors".

"I don't know how long it took, I woke up from the nightmare, I felt that I had my feet on the ground, and immediately opened my eyes, and my eyes were full of overwhelming golden light, no, not gold, and my eyes were full of gold. Oh my God, it was a sea of gold, and I ran straight ahead for five minutes and still didn't see its edges, and there were gold ingots, gold nuggets, gold leaves, and gold shells...... I've been thinking that if all this gold is mine, I can use it to assemble the world's toughest mercenary brigade, equip them with the most advanced weapons, and sweep the new king ZF away. ”

The voice of the earth king was full of melancholy, because after all, it was just a good dream for no reason, how easy is it to come true?

In ancient China, there was a fable of "Huangliang and a Dream", and there were similar plots in various cultures, and the Tuwang was erudite and knowledgeable, so he would naturally be able to distinguish what was a dream and what was reality.

"I looked overhead, about a dozen meters high, a layer of black and oppressive clouds shrouded me, occasionally revealing the body of a long snake in the depths of the clouds. You can imagine that the snakes you have come into contact with are above the clouds, but I don't know what kind of power they rely on, they can hover in the air for a long time without suddenly falling on this large piece of gold. Inadvertently, I looked down at the ...... beneath my feet cough, cough, cough ......"

A sudden cough made him unable to continue, and it also gave Na Lun room to speak again: "Uncle Chen, have you guessed what he is going to say next?"

She let out a heavy sullen breath and gritted her teeth word by word, "He saw his body become as terrifying as those inexplicable bodies. Every time I heard this, I would laugh and ask him, 'Why was he able to run freely with his legs in the golden land before?' He was always speechless, and could only smile wryly and explain it by saying 'it's just a dream'. ”

The atmosphere in the small living room suddenly became extremely depressing, and on the surface, the narration of the Earth King was nothing more than a nightmare, but all the plots were closely connected with reality, and it was impossible to accurately distinguish between dream and reality.

The voice of the Earth King sounded again: "I saw that my body had also changed into the appearance of those giant snakes just now, and suddenly I was so frightened that I couldn't breathe, and I broke out in a cold sweat all over my body, and then I woke up. Is this the curse of the 'Prometheus Fire', or is it just a boring dream caused by the snowy mountain reaction? In any case, I want to record this experience as a final proof of the argument. 'Humans, insects, birds, and beasts have all turned into snakes', this strange phenomenon of the end of the earth has only appeared in ancient books, is it possible that the end of the earth is coming soon?"

The recording ended here, and cold sweat was already dripping on Nalun's forehead, and drop by drop fell on the coffee table in front of him.

I gathered the photo for her, put a close-up of the face of the earth king on top, and pushed it in front of her together.

The playback button of the interview machine automatically popped up, and she was startled by a "click" sound, sat up straight, covered her heart with her hands, and her face changed greatly.

I was silent for a moment and changed the subject for a moment: "Did the king of Naluntu say how to break the curse?

The focus of various events all points to the mysterious stone that no one has ever seen, which indirectly proves that Charlotte is about to become the brightest target of black and white attention in the rivers and lakes. If the gentleman is innocent and guilty, if she knew this, she should be aware of her dangerous situation.

Naren Muran nodded and replied abruptly, "It is said that the most effective and feared curses on earth are only two curses of King Solomon and the curse of King Pharaoh. Myths and legends have it that after King Solomon wiped out all the demons and monsters on the earth, Zhang Fan sailed to the sea and threw countless copper bottles containing the souls of monsters into the waterfall in the depths of the sea, and then completely disappeared from the world. As for the latter, the casting and unraveling of spells must be based on the 'Cursed Stone'. In many Egyptian murals, it can be seen that when the subjects prostrate before the throne of the pharaoh, he always holds a diamond-shaped stone in his left hand, which is the source of all spiritual power. Now almost every faction knew that Madame Charlotte was in possession of the stone, and everyone was in a state of eagerness. Uncle Chen, the people I brought with me are not sure of victory, so I can only turn to you for help. ”

Her heart was already in turmoil, and she stretched out her palm to cover the earth king's face, and her eyes were full of wordless sadness.

"I'll be going to see Charlotte tomorrow, and if I can find the 'Cursed Stone' smoothly, everyone will be safe. "I made up my mind, whether it was for the sake of the Earth King and Naren himself, I had to meet Charlotte to find out the whereabouts of the Cursed Stone.

Na Lun barely squeezed out a smile of relief: "Thank you, Uncle Chen." Tie Hou came back and said that you are very interested in the secret that Bai Xiaoxie has in his heart, and when we have the results of his interrogation, we will definitely compile a video and send it over. In fact, I was also confused about the cause of Wei Yueyan's death on the other side of Longtang. ”

She admits that she is the filmmaker of the video, but she has always hinted that any sharing of information has a price and will not be given in vain.

This is the people of the rivers and lakes in the 21st century, who have always clearly divided the interests and interests, and the "face, affection, friendship, and prestige" that the older generation used to say in the past have all been thrown into the garbage heap. If you have money, insider knowledge, and face, you will be sought after by many forces, and on the contrary, indifferent white eyes will only make people feel cold.

In the past five years, Nalun has been changed not only by his appearance, but also by the underworld world.

I couldn't wait for Sukan to appear again, and I was about to get up to say goodbye, when the phone in my pocket rang suddenly.

Na Lun's face changed again, and the smile that had just appeared disappeared in an instant, replaced by a faint distrust.

I pulled out my phone and lit up the screen to her: "It's Officer Miz's phone that has nothing to do with you." ”

Naron retreated playfully, and then closed the door to the small parlor gently. I don't know if there's any surveillance equipment installed in this room, but I'm sure Meez's call won't be hidden, so I'm comfortable and bold enough to answer the call.

"Mr. Chen, I'm in the director's villa area at the back of the National Museum, do you want to take a look?" In the two-story building where Lorraine lives, all the lights are on, and from this angle, there is a giant green safe in her living room, and I don't know what it is for. Miz yawned heavily, and the wine hadn't fully woken up.

Lorraine had said that the safe was meant to hide from a surprise attack. Twenty-four hours is indeed too short for a long life, and she will definitely count it out second by second, refusing to relax for a moment.

"Wow, it's cold in the car, if you're willing to come over, remember to bring some whiskey, this midnight job is so boring!" Metz grumbled, but he was at least a dutiful cop, willing to take my word for it in order to keep the murders from happening again and again.

Now, I just hope that the Iron Marquis and the others can dispose of the corpses of the two members of the "underworld" and not cause trouble to Miz.

"I'll wait for me. I hurriedly hung up the phone and walked out of the small living room.

Su Kan and Na Lun stood side by side in front of the window, holding each other's hands, staring at the neon of the thousands of families outside, as if they had entered the state of the old monk's steady.

I said goodbye to them, and I could tell that Sukan didn't fully believe in me, and that there was a complex shadow buried deep under his eyes that could explode at any moment. When the earth king recounted the dream he had, he said the sentence "the body turned into a long snake", and now the photo provided by Nalun deliberately covers the earth king's waist and confirms it from the front and back, and it can be concluded that it is speechless and trembling - "He has become the appearance of the dream, which is why Su Kan is crazy".

This is really an unbelievable thing, if you look at it to senior geneticists in Europe and the United States, you will probably only get the response of "boring".

Naren kept sending me out, and I don't know how many times I said the words of pleading, so that I felt again and again that she cared for Sukan, even beyond the king of Namendu.

The earth king has dominated the party, and the treasures he has accumulated over the years are innumerable, and at this time, as long as I open my mouth, I believe that Narun will always say yes, and then bring it to Egypt by fire. However, I don't need treasures, I just want to find Leng Xin, who has been missing for a long time, and give an account to Leng Hannan under Jiuquan.

I am a decent man, and I have to take on some of my responsibilities.

It took me 20 minutes to take a taxi from the hotel to the National Museum, and I bought two chicken leg sets at a gas station KFC restaurant halfway through, and I couldn't find any alcoholic beverages.

Mitz's car was parked on the sidewalk on the side of the villa, and there was a mess of cigarette butts all over the window. He wore a travel blanket over his body, rubbing his hands vigorously to keep warm, and occasionally glancing at the telescope set up in the passenger seat.

"Mr. Chen, what delicious food have I brought here to comfort me?" He saw me as if he saw a savior descending from the sky, and his enthusiasm for me was unprecedented, and he grabbed a chicken leg and devoured it in his hand.

In the binoculars, Lorraine had been pacing around the safe, looking down and sighing from time to time. The safe was about one person high, and the door was wide open, revealing the mineral water and food in the corner inside, and it seemed that she was going to live in it for a long time.

"Nothing out of the or......dinary," Mitz muttered, but he didn't mean to accuse me at all, completely worn out by the recent case.

My watch pointed to three o'clock in the morning, fifteen hours before the sun went down as Lorraine had said, and I was finally able to get some sleep. While moving clutter from the back seat of the car, I accidentally touched a drawing board. There were no lights in the car, but a sudden flash of golden light on the drawing board immediately caught my attention.

"Mitz, what is this?" I held up my sketchpad in front of me, vaguely discerning the outline of the ocean and the sails.

"It's something that a madman smeared, you have to throw it out of the window beforehand. Alas, the ponytail ruffian who died in front of the pyramid was really troublesome, his only relative in Cairo City turned out to be a madman, and he knew how to scribble all day long, and he couldn't even tell the difference between east and west, north and south. ”

Miz smacked his lips and opened the toolbox, rummaging through the pages to find paper towels to wipe his hands, not even noticing that the paper bag contained the disinfectant wipes that came with the restaurant.

The ponytail was killed by Naren's men, and I don't want to say anything too much, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble to Naren. Underworld characters, violent counter-violence, and murderous incidents have been born on the earth every day, and it is impossible to distinguish between good and evil. In comparison, Wang Shi's disappearance case worries me a little more.

"Feed the paper towels in the bag. I reminded him.

On the other side of the villa, Lorraine had turned off all the headlights, leaving only a wall lamp on the side of the safe. She was still pacing, showing no sign of going to bed. Just outside her window, in the darkness of the lawn, there were constantly figures swaying, and their bodies were very agile, and there were small arms hanging from their chests.

"That must be the bodyguard she found—" Although she can't spend as much money as Charlotte, as the director of the National Museum, she is already a high-ranking civil servant in the state administration, and she only needs to make a phone call away, and there will naturally be someone on the ZF side to protect it 24 hours a day.

Mitz muttered as he turned on the roof lights, and the painting in my hand was so brilliant that the ocean and the ship were all painted in large swaths of gold paint, and they were dazzling in the light.

I couldn't help but exclaim, "Mitz's painting is really strange, a golden sea...... and there is no doubt that the content of this painting is most directly reminiscent of the term "sea of gold".

"I've said he's a madman more hated than the drug-addicted, stealing-addicted kid. I know it reminds you of what a 'sea of gold' is, right? haha, a madman hiding in a slum can't even get a milligram of gold dust out, probably because he wants gold, he wants to be crazy, so he desperately draws and draws all day long......"

He found a tissue and wiped the corners of his mouth while burping in satisfaction.

I gazed at this painting, the author must have quite advanced oil painting skills, and if he was to create oil paintings on ordinary subjects at this level, it should not be a problem to support his family. When he chooses this dazzling gold for painting, will he also enter another higher realm that no mortal can understand like the genius Van Gogh, before being ridiculed as a madman by the world?

"What's the name of this madman?" I ignored Miz's disdain.

"His neighbor said that the madman's real name was Age, and he was not crazy at first, but once he disappeared in the desert for half a month, and when he reappeared, he went crazy, and kept telling others that he had been to the 'sea of gold'—" Miz turned off the overhead light, touched the cigarette case, lit a cigarette contentedly, and began to yawn.

I blurted out, "He's not only a madman, he's blind, isn't he?"

Miz screamed, "Huh, you know this man, he is indeed blind, and he has been blinded by himself, and now he is so poor that he can't even eat." ”

Before taking Sylvie to explore the pyramid at night, I parked in front of a tavern and stumbled upon Age's rumors from the bartender. Both the waiter, Shengmori, and the hostess, Sarah, treated me as a wealthy Oriental buyer, and even wanted to sell me a quirky copper engraving for a high price.

It was there that Mori sneakily told me that Edge claimed to have been to the "Sea of Gold" and that he had brought back some small gold souvenirs. Of course, I can still remember the phone number Sarah left me, and she was probably willing to use these ridiculous stories to earn some pocket money.

Miz turned his head and glared at me stunned: "Mr. Chen, you are really well-informed, but believe me, the guy named 'Agey' is indeed a madman and will not provide any help to the police." Of course, if you want, I can accompany you to catch him and force him to say something. ”

He misunderstood my thoughts, and torture doesn't make any sense for such a weirdo.

I shook my head, "No, I just ask. ”

Things in the world are really wonderful, Wang Shi and the appearance of the ponytail is just a small accident, and it has nothing to do with the "Sea of Gold", but Aiji, who is implicated by them, is a very key figure.

I took out my phone and looked at my watch. This is the time when normal people can sleep soundly, but for a hostess like Sarah, it may be a busy working time to make money. So there's nothing wrong with calling at this moment.

"Mr. Chen has so many strange things at present, and the police station is so busy that he can't find any clue. If you're willing to treat me as a friend, if you have any inside information, you must reveal a little bit to me, okay?"

Miz leaned his head in a flattering manner, and a strong smell of fried chicken thighs entered my nose. Just now, he swallowed the two chicken leg sets unceremoniously, and he didn't have any intention of sharing them with me, and now he probably realized that he was a little embarrassed, and an embarrassed smile appeared on his face all the time.

"Meaz, I'm not in the police system, so honors that make people merit and appreciate mean nothing to me. If I succeed, I'll leave all the credit to you, but—"

Miz immediately picked up enthusiastically: "If you have any send, just say that I will 'stick a knife in both sides and go to the soup' as the Chinese like to say." If you need weapons, manpower, drugs, women, etc., as long as you ask, I can definitely prepare them in half an hour. ”

As long as he sees the hope of meritorious service, Miz is richer than a drug addict who has just injected drugs. He is in an intermediate position that cannot be promoted or lowered, and if he can make great contributions and establish his unique reputation in the police circles, he will definitely be greatly promoted, and it is even possible to climb to the sky in one step.

The tacit understanding between the two of us, looking at each other and smiling in the dark, seems to be deeper.

After a long pause, I calmly dialed the number Sarah had provided.

"Hey?" her arrogant voice burst out of the earpiece, causing Miz to change color. He didn't understand what I was going to do, but he was afraid that there had been a strange misunderstanding.

"There's a chance to make a hundred dollars for you, and if you're smart enough, you can get paid tenfold. "I don't care about her rudeness, working as a waitress in a low-class bar, and only then will I blend into that atmosphere, and try to survive under the narcotics of alcohol and cigarettes.

"Who are you? Doesn't sound familiar?" she was in high spirits, but a thousand dollars was not a small amount to her. In addition to her excitement, she expressed great doubts.

Miz whistled strangely, opened the door and got out of the car, making it clear that he would never ask about my private life.

"Leave me alone, give me an address where I can find you, and we'll talk." "I think back to seeing her and Mori, and it's easy to conclude that Sen is just an inconsequential painting broker, and Sarah alone is the one who wants to know Edge's secret.

"Now?hahahaha......" Sarah burst into a burst of unbridled laughter, which was as appetizing as the cacophony of rock music from the earpiece.

"$100 overnight, $300 a day, $1,000 a month — then see if I have enough time. Sarah laughed again and made a fluent quote to me. She had reason to think of me as a guest she had known before, and this time she was greedy for her comeback, after all, the person who could get this number was only willing to make the simplest and most primitive deal with her.

I waited until she had laughed enough before coldly responding, "Give me the address?"

She finally believed that I wasn't joking, and immediately reported a long address, and as soon as she heard the name, she knew it was somewhere in the slums at the junction of the old and new cities.

"Hey, tell me what you want, let's speak first, if it's a rotten person like the police, you want to take advantage of me for nothing, be careful that I break your dog's leg!" she was not completely at ease with the good things that fell from the sky, and when she heard it, she knew that she was a person who had suffered a big loss in the wind and dust.

I replied to her briefly, "Get in touch again." Then he hung up the phone and closed his eyes in the dark, carefully recalling the details of the last time he saw her and Sen.

The copper engraving that Mori showed me was quite complex, but it was only unpretentious copper, and it was not as striking as this golden oil painting. Only a small part of what Agi knew about him was from Sen's few words. Everyone is boasting that they know the truth about the "Sea of Gold", and over time, this topic has almost become a killer feature that makes out-of-town tourists sick to their stomachs.

"A madman who has returned alive from the 'Sea of Gold'?" I muttered to myself in the dark.

The night was still dark and long, but I seemed to see the direction of light.
