I suddenly had a new idea: "Xiwei, are you still in the hospital, tell me the address, I'll pick you up, let's go to the desert statue and have a look." ”

If Leng Xin, Leng Hannan, and Tenth Brother Xiliang are telling the truth, then there is already a big strange thing in front of us - "Sphinx opened his mouth to sing!" and that strange "singing" needs to be verified by Xiwei, if she is brave enough to visit the Sphinx with me at night.

Xiwei was stunned for a moment: "Now, go to the desert?"

I was aware of my presumptuousness, after all, we had only met once, and we had no deep friendship, so it was completely understandable that we were wary of each other. However, Xiwei immediately agreed, and did not embarrass me too much: "Okay, meet in front of the main entrance of the National Hospital in twenty minutes." ”

"Don't forget to disguise yourself and beware of another killer. I gave her a timely warning before she hurriedly closed the line. In extraordinary times, any accident can happen, so you have to keep your eyes open at every step. It's unclear what the killers' intentions were, but they did actually threaten my life and Shevi's.

Back in the car, I turned on the radio, searched for an English music channel, let it play a loud percussion, and then kicked my legs comfortably on the steering wheel like a real car wanderer, and pulled down the brim of my baseball cap to cover most of my face.

"Leng Xin also heard that kind of voice?" I secretly guessed that the investigation team must have made some discoveries around the Sphinx before they were targeted by the Scorpion King's centaurs.

Gu Zixu and the others crisscrossed the desert, of course, they would not turn a blind eye to the fat that fell on their mouths, and sent Xi Liang to hide on the back of the statue to monitor, but unfortunately Xi Liang didn't expect that the real danger and secret came from the statue itself. He thought he was the safest hiding place, but it was the most fatal, but fortunately, he was lucky enough to escape with his light skills and martial arts.

Perhaps an archaeological maniac like Leng Hannan would have liked to see the statue resurrected, because in his life he longed to keep discovering the secrets of the world, whether good or bad, and as long as his career could go further, there would be no regrets in life.

On the way to the entrance of the National Hospital, I bought three bundles of rope from a grocery store, connected for more than a hundred meters, which would help me climb the Sphinx.

Inviting Sylvie to go to the desert with me was an impromptu decision because I needed her to corroborate those strange voices, which was a very important matter and it was important to be careful every step of the way. "Is it dangerous to do this?" I kept asking myself the same question. Innocent people don't deserve to be swept into the water, and I'm really afraid that my actions will hurt her.

When the night in Cairo fell again, and when I was a hundred meters away from the National Hospital, I slowly parked my car on the side of the road and silently observed the still crowded entrance of the hospital. There were no suspicious people around, everything seemed to be as calm as ever, and no one paid any attention to my old car.

A girl in a denim jacket, a cowboy baseball cap, and cowboy boots stepped out, pushing the wide-brimmed sunglasses on the bridge of her nose, looking around for something.

I quickly stepped on the gas, drove the car in front of her, and opened the door for her: "Miss Xiwei, please get in the car." ”

She was stunned, got into the car, and smiled embarrassedly: "Is my disguise too lame, so you can see through it all at once?"

I twisted the steering wheel and quickly left the hospital entrance, watching in the rearview mirror to see if any cars were following. It was because I wasn't sure if I was moving in the right direction that I became more and more careful and kept my mind on the premise of not wasting any time.

"No, the disguise is very good, but the Chinese have an ancient poem, 'natural beauty is difficult to give up', and a beautiful girl like Miss Xiwei can be recognized at a glance even among ten thousand people." "I'm joking, hoping that the solemn atmosphere in the car will ease a bit.

At this moment, the car happened to stop at a red light intersection, and Xi Wei sighed wistfully: "Mr. Chen really loves to tell jokes, no one has ever said the same thing to me, I know that I am ordinary and small, and Miss Leng cannot be compared." ”

The car turned a corner and headed west, merging into the river of twinkling lights.

"The abyss is connected to the abyss, and everyone has a struggling heart—" Her voice was full of grief. That poem could indeed reflect a lot of life's helplessness, and I silently turned on the radio, and a black man's blues music was ringing lingeringly, making the sad air in the car much heavier.

"Mr. Chen, you haven't said yet, what is the purpose of our visit to the Sphinx?" she changed the subject, her face twisted to the car window, and looked at the neon lights of the tall buildings on either side.

"The melody you hummed to me on the phone is very similar to what a friend of the underworld heard near the statue before, I want to make sure that melody could be a precursor to Leng Xin's disappearance? The Great Desert is so mysterious, we may be able to start with some clues—Miss Xiwei, will this be too much trouble for you? It will delay your personal time too much?" I sincerely apologized.

"How could it be? It's my honor to be able to help Mr. Chen and Miss Leng. Her fingers tipped lightly across the window, and delicate stars appeared on the glass.
