"Have you ever heard that voice before? Is it completely unfamiliar?" I tried to find the answer.

Xi Wei had the carefulness and sensitivity that is unique to a girl, and immediately asked: "Mr. Chen, do you think that the curse of the Pharaoh will come from the mouth of an ordinary person? No, that is impossible, that kind of curse with complex meaning and great power is incomprehensible to human beings, let alone repeated, only the sole ruler of this great desert can inherit it from generation to generation——"

I smiled slightly and nodded solemnly: "Yes, I understand your thoughts. ”

Xi Wei breathed a sigh of relief: "I'm sorry Mr. Chen, I'm a little too nervous. The Egyptian cult of the pharaoh has been uninterrupted since ancient times, from the current president to the common people, who devoutly believe in the power of the curse. Although I am only a Chinese passer-by, I have heard and seen it, and I am convinced of this. ”

I nodded again: "Tomorrow, is it convenient for you to accompany me to the pyramids again?" Wang Shi's words are very mysterious, I have been thinking about Leng Xin's whereabouts all night, maybe the strange things that happened on the stone wall of the 'Great Corridor', only you can explain it clearly, so I hope you can go over together." ”

Xi Wei nodded without hesitation: "Of course, if I can do anything for Miss Leng, I am willing to do my best." ”

There seemed to be an indescribable shadow in her eyes, and her voice became colder.

Shelvie had been in distress in the desert, and if it weren't for the situation, I wouldn't have invited her into the desert again. The whereabouts of Sikong Xingxing and Cai Xiaofo are unknown, and I don't have anyone around me to discuss and confide in, so I hold everything in my heart, and this situation will continue for a long time, I am afraid that it will affect the accuracy of my thinking.

I opened the window and let the morning light and the morning glow pour in at the same time, and my spirits were lifted.

"A new day begins, and it's going to bring us good luck—" Sylvie sighed under her breath.

The significance of the sun to the human beings of the earth is not just that it is a huge planet that shines brightly. What's more, every time you come from the long night and see it rising, all the hope and courage come back, and you can run unwaveringly towards your set goal.

"Yes, it will bring good luck. However, you seem to have something to say, so why bother to spit it out?" I could see that she had a very serious heart, like a fish in her throat, and she did not vomit unpleasantly. Before Wang Shi wakes up, it is best that the two of us can say everything in our hearts openly and honestly, and then trust each other and face everything together.

Xi Wei sighed again: "Mr. Chen, you really should go and see Curator Lorraine, maybe she can help us solve some doubts, such as——" She stopped talking, walked up to me, and stared intently at the spire in the distance.

I looked at her sideways, and the glow of the sun gilded the bridge of her nose with an elegant golden yellow, flawless, crisp and perfect.

"For example...... You've probably heard about the discovery of a 'prehistoric television set' inside the pyramid, right?" Syvi's speech slowed down, revealing that she wasn't entirely positive about what she was telling, and there was a faint wry smile on her lips.

I raised an eyebrow and nodded calmly.

The strange incident of "the discovery of a TV set in the pyramid" has happened three times, and the last two times were finally found to be planned by people with ulterior motives, and the only one for the first time, which has no source, has become one of the top ten puzzles related to the pyramid.

"You've seen the picture of that TV? I mean the first one—" Her brow furrowed.

"Yes, I've seen that many archaeologists have been misled by its appearance and thought it was nothing more than a square stone, but accidentally touched its start switch, and there was snowflake signal noise on the four facades that were originally smooth. Isn't it treasured in the National Museum? Could it be that Curator Lorraine has made a new discovery?"

I hadn't slept all night, and my thinking skills had slowed down a bit, and I hadn't figured out what Shevi meant for the time being. In a few hours, I'm going to leave for the desert, and it's not a good idea to be distracted.

"Mr. Chen, your heart is a little confused, so you can't hear my voice. However, I know that you are upset for the sake of Leng Xin, which is normal - no further ado, let's discuss it again when we come back from the desert, I will ask Lorraine Curator for you, and Professor Leng has praised you vigorously in front of her, she is very interested in you. ”

Sylvie turned and walked to the bedroom, her steps slow and heavy.

Now that it's an eventful time, I hope she can give me more useful advice, instead of rambling and talking from time to time. So, I wanted to stop her and talk openly, but before I could speak, Wang Shi had already pulled open the bedroom door and jumped out screaming—"Hey, Mr. Chen, what the hell is going on? What about the monster with two meters of hair?"

She widened her eyes exaggeratedly, looked at the corners of the living room, and then breathed a sigh of relief: "Thank God, that monster is not here, it really scares people to death!"

"What monster?" Sylvie looked back, frowning in confusion.

I smiled bitterly: "She refers to the Dragon Elephant Girl, today I will call Master Mai Ye to find out the ins and outs of this matter, don't worry." ”

Xi Wei's face suddenly changed: "Mr. Chen, I think the Dragon Elephant Girl's method of removing poison for me is very strange, let's talk slowly when we go to the desert." ”

The poison under the Tang Sect in Shuzhong is very stubborn, often deep into the body, making it difficult for the healer to balance the surface and the inside. Mai Ye said that the Dragon Elephant Girl must be able to cure the poison of the Tang Sect, and I should believe him, but Xiwei's expression surprised me.

"What do you feel, Sylvie?" I immediately asked.

Xiwei looked up and sighed: "Let's talk about it later, a thousand things are entangled, we can only take it step by step, can't we?"

Wang Shi was unwilling to be lonely and forcibly interjected: "Mr. Chen, Miss Xiwei, I'm hungry, can we call breakfast in first, and then talk about it when we have a full stomach?"

Her existence has undoubtedly added a lot of interference to the communication between me and Xiwei, but in the matter of searching for Leng Xin, she is the only bright clue where there is no way out, and she can't be provoked or angry.

The Western-style breakfast at the Moonlight Hotel was very rich, but I was full of questions, and I felt full after just drinking a glass of milk, and walked to the balcony alone.

"Under what circumstances did Leng Xin talk to Wang Shi? With her martial arts, it shouldn't be difficult to break a stone wall and rush out—did she really appear in the 'big corridor'? Or did Wang Shi talk to herself?"

No amount of money can compare to Leng Xin's life, if the information provided by Wang Shi is true, I am willing to add more money to her on the previous reward. Instead, Officer Miz will let her know what the consequences of the deception will be.

I stretched out my arms and breathed in the free air of Egypt, the sun carrying the fine grains of sand from the desert, reminding everyone who entered Cairo that every inch of land here belonged to Pharaoh, who was the only master of wisdom.

"Mr. Chen, when will I get the money that should be paid?" Wang Shi secretly followed, standing in my shadow, sly smiling.

"See Leng Xin, or you can find some evidence to prove that you have actually seen her. I gave her a smile.

"Ha, evidence, if there is evidence, why should I bother to find the hotel and go directly to the police station. Mr. Chen, to be honest, I am already very satisfied with the money I received yesterday, and I do not expect to get the rest of it. She held a large glass of orange juice in her hand, a straw in her mouth, and her speech became slurred.

My heart sank: "Miss Wang, you'd better be responsible for every word you said yesterday-"

Xiwei came over and interrupted me in time: "Mr. Chen, no one should jump to conclusions before arriving at the 'Great Corridor'. The car arranged by the hotel has arrived, let's talk while walking, right?"

Wang Shi chuckled slyly again: "Yes, yes, buying and selling is not benevolent, everyone is Chinese, five thousand years ago was the same family, what can't you sit down and communicate slowly?" Mr. Chen, I'll go downstairs first, you and Miss Xiwei have had enough private chats before coming over, lest you say I'm caught in the middle to make a light bulb, hahaha......"

She threw the orange juice on the small European-style table on the balcony, and as she passed the living room, she took a bunch of bananas from the dining table and hopped out the door.

"Mr. Chen, don't underestimate her, although she is young, her eyes are always turning around, and there must be secrets hidden in her heart. I've always thought that travel agencies in Egypt would equip their employees with digital cameras in case they need them. When she saw Miss Leng appear on the stone wall, she would definitely take out the camera and leave the information after she was shocked for a while, but she never mentioned this. In my judgment, she didn't lie, but deliberately concealed certain episodes. ”

Xiwei stared at the glass of orange juice, as if she could read Wang Shi's thoughts from it.

Wang Shi's actions were indeed questionable, she had been carrying an army-green bag on her shoulder, which should have something important besides the most important purse. A digital memory card or a miniature video tape will become the best carrier for the image of "Leng Xin suddenly appeared".

"What else does she want besides money?" I pressed my aching temple.

Xiwei muttered: "For a girl like her who works hard to explore the rivers and lakes alone, money comes first, of course, a good job, a good home, and a man who feels sorry for her and cares for her are all part of the dream." Her face suddenly turned red, and her gaze turned away, as if someone had inadvertently peeked into the privacy of her heart.

The balcony overlooking the new city is like a world independent of the clouds, and only the two of us stand slightly awkward. It will not be smooth sailing for any Chinese girl to work hard in a strange country, she said Wang Shi's situation, maybe she had a similar difficult experience in the past, so she will touch the scene.

"Shevie-thank you......" I can't say much more.

Xi Wei's eyes flashed, and she sighed infinitely melancholy: "Why thank me? I can't do anything well, it will only cause you trouble." When I introduce Curator Lorraine to meet with you, I won't bother you anymore, maybe that will be good for everyone, and you can concentrate on searching for Miss Leng's whereabouts-"

She suddenly turned to the living room, her face shocked, staring straight at the western wall.

I subconsciously stretched out my arms and put my arms around her shoulders: "What did you find?"

"It's a weird wall, it always makes me feel eerie, as if something is about to break through it. But now, there's nothing left, just an ordinary partition wall. Mr. Chen, if necessary, can you inform the hotel and chisel open the whole wall to see what is going on?" Xiwei broke free of my arm, and the flush on her face quickly dissipated with horror.

I nodded, remembering the mysterious disappearance of the Dragon Elephant Maiden, and at the moment my thoughts were exactly the same as those of Xiwei.

In this materialistic society where money is the king, as long as you can afford to pay, any problem can be solved, including the matter of asking the hotel to tear down the wall.

"So, can we go?" Xiwei lowered her head, and sighed three times in succession just after saying this sentence, which showed that she was depressed and could not be relieved.

As I walked through the living room, I paused in front of the couch and peered over the west wall.

Wei Yueyan and Xi Wei had the same experience, perhaps both of them belonged to people with particularly sharp minds, and they were able to perceive the existence of that treacherous power one step ahead of the others. His martial prowess and courage are extraordinary, and perhaps I should call him and invite him to witness the demolition of the wall than to leave Sylvie in danger.

Xiwei opened the door and looked back at me gently, "Let's go?"

I strode along, closing the door casually, remembering the two spies from last night.

They saw the white light but didn't know why, unaware of the great danger in the two rooms, and just carried out the orders of their superiors step by step. The police system has always been rigid, and they will naturally abide by the principle of "more things are better than less", and squat in the room safely and honestly.

"Mr. Chen, I know that the Cairo police are not trustworthy in their ability to handle affairs, and the detection rate of cases that have occurred in the past few years is less than 20 percent, which has become a laughing stock in African countries. If Miss Leng's disappearance had occurred in Europe or the Americas, effective clues would have been traced long ago, which is really a very regrettable thing. ”

In the elevator, Xiwei's emotions calmed down again, and her evaluation of the police station personnel was quite pertinent.

I smiled and nodded, as if I had something very important in my mind, but I couldn't remember what it was for a while.

The Mitsubishi elevator was silently descending, the numbers on the LCD window were beating silently, and the elevator also happened to reach the first floor, and it opened left and right with a "ding". There were few people in the hotel lobby, but the waiters in white uniforms still stood at their posts word for word.

I walked to the help desk, wrote an address on a sticky note, signed my name, and handed it to the waitress who stood respectfully: "Send the note to this address, right away." ”

Sylvie walked out of the turnstile first and stood next to a Mazda station wagon. The morning breeze ruffled her hair, which, though undressed, had already attracted the interested glances of several male visitors. Her appearance and temperament are very reserved and humble of oriental girls, which is the most appreciated female advantage by European and American men.

"Such an excellent urban white-collar worker, why don't you see a man chasing her? In the past few days, no man has ever called her, it's really a little strange-" I walked through the revolving door, the cool breeze was blowing in my face, and the fatigue of staying up all night was immediately swept away.

"Mr. Chen, shall I drive?" Xiwei smiled and opened the middle door of the station wagon for me, and a loud burst of rock music came to my face, carrying Wang Shi's elated singing.

I obediently got into the car and never disobeyed her kindness. It's almost an hour's drive from the hotel to the pyramids, and I can take a nap during this time. Shelvie was very attentive, neither letting the hotel arrange a driver, nor making a fuss, as long as a half-used station wagon, even if it was parked in the most lively tourist attractions in the desert, it would not be noticeable.

She reached out and turned off the record player, started the car, and drove out of the hotel.

Wang Shi glared at Xiwei in protest in frustration, then took out a portable record player from her satchel, put on headphones, and closed her eyes to revel in her music world.

"Mr. Chen, are you interested in hearing me about the Dragon Elephant Girl now?" Syvi looked at me in the rearview mirror.

I nodded calmly, took out the phone and held it in my hand, ready to call Mai Ye at any time.

"When she was treating me, she did it in a very simple way, just told me to lie flat on the bed, close my eyes and breathe, and not think about anything. I felt her hand pressed against the top of my head, exuding a biting chill, like an ice cube above my head. After about five minutes, I noticed that all the blood was pooling on the top of my head, and I couldn't control myself. To use a less accurate analogy, her hand is the brush head of a vacuum cleaner, and my thoughts and blood are the target of that powerful suction—"

The car stopped at a red light at an intersection, and Sylvie took the opportunity to turn around and observe the expression on my face up close.

"The masters of the rivers and lakes have strange methods of detoxification and healing, and she does this, which does not prove anything. "I'll tell you the truth, there have been countless anecdotes about the rivers and lakes for thousands of years, and the strange behavior of the head lowering masters has always exceeded people's imagination.

"Really?" said Syvi smiled, no longer arguing.

"Has your body healed?" Her eyebrows were clean, and there were no signs of poisoning with "a little red", but I was still a little uneasy.

"I'm fine, don't worry. She turned her head to look at the motorcyclist flying by outside the window, the young man wrapped in a sports helmet and yellow leather jacket ignoring the traffic signals, the engine roaring through the intersection.

"I'll be careful to verify the matter of the Dragon Elephant Girl—" Because Wang Shi was present, I didn't want to say too much, so as not to have more complications.

After crossing the intersection, the car turned left onto the road leading to the tourist area of Giza Heights, and gradually increased its speed, and Syvi concentrated on her driving and stopped talking.

Wang Shi and I sat side by side, she closed her eyes and pretended to sleep, not saying a word, with a look of "the sky has nothing to do with me".

Sleepiness gradually came, and my eyes slowly closed, and at this moment, there was a "buzzing" vibration sound from Wang Shi's pocket, which was naturally the movement of someone calling. I subconsciously raised my eyelids, and the corner of my eye sneaked a glance at her. Her hand reached into the pocket of her jeans, glanced at me alertly, then stared at Shevie's side, silently pulled out the phone, glanced at the screen quickly, then pressed the stop button and hung up.

"Hey, manager, I just took over the business of a small sightseeing group, there are only two guests, I am rushing to the big pyramid, I can't go to the company to report today......" She was talking to herself pretending to be herself, her brows furrowed, quite the quality of a professional actress.

A minute later, she hung up the phone angrily, and added a sentence full of complaints: "It's annoying, the salary hasn't risen for several months, and I have to go to the travel agency every day to report by name." ”

Obviously, Wang Shi was lying, and the person who called must have some kind of tacit agreement with her. All this is beyond the reach of Xiwei in the driver's seat. After putting the phone away, Wang Shi continued to listen to music with her eyes closed, but her eyeballs kept rolling under her eyelids without pausing for a moment. At the same time, her hands were clenched with her fingers crossed, clenched into fists for a while, and pounded back and forth on her knees, showing that her mood was quite restless, with an irrepressible tension and joy.

In the distance, the great pyramids in the sun stand proudly on the heights of Giza, and many tourists have increased their cars on the road, and the windows of the cars are rolled down by men and women of all colors, all of whom carry the joy of pilgrims.

"Mr. Chen, the existence of the pyramids is truly a miracle, and the fact that hundreds of millions of tourists from all continents flock to visit such a mausoleum of an ancient ruler is not a good sign in itself. After all, before his death, the pharaohs of all ages did everything possible to preserve their souls and bodies in order to be perfect in anticipation of future resurrections. For tourists, the spirits of the dead will be attached to them at any time, directing a strange farce—"

Sylvie seemed to feel something, and patted her horn a little irritably, reminding a white bus in front of her to give way.

"That's the only tourist resource in the whole of Egypt, if you don't count on it, what else can you expect? You don't want tourists to go to the Nile to see crocodiles, right?" Wang Shi took off her headphones and took over the topic with a laugh.

In the car on the left, a man pokes his head out and holds a mini camera at the big pyramid, filming it with emotion. Wang Shi's eyes fell on the man's camera, and his eyebrows couldn't help but shake several times in a row, looking a little absent-minded, which made me more and more suspicious.

The car drove into the parking lot in front of the pyramid, and before it was completely stopped, Wang Shi had already pushed the door and shouted a little shyly: "I'll go to the bathroom, I'll be back in five minutes, please wait for me in the car." Without waiting for me to say anything to Shevi, she ran to the tourist rest area, fifty paces behind her right.

"Do you want to follow her?" said Sylvie frowned, making eye contact with me in the rearview mirror.

"No, if she had hidden the footage or photos at that time, she would have hidden it on another person, the one who called her. She wants money, and as long as the price is high enough, she will hand it over. Now, the most important thing is to get to the 'Grand Promenade' as soon as possible and see if you can discover anything. ”

In fact, I have a hunch that the possibility of Leng Xin appearing again is very small, especially when there is an endless stream of tourists entering the Great Pyramid today.

"Mr. Chen, let me ask you one last time, how much credibility is there in what Wang Shi said?" Xiwei rolled down the window, let out a long sullen breath, suddenly straightened up, and pointed ahead, "Look at that car, it should belong to Mrs. Charlotte of Flowers, what a coincidence, she also came here for sightseeing today?"

It was an elongated black Cadillac, shiny, spotlessly clean, standing out from the crowd of hundreds of station wagons.

I let out a soft "oh" and didn't show much enthusiasm. The occasional wandering of the rich and idle lady is as pompous as the parade of the Queen's floats of England, which attracts the envy of ordinary people, but it means nothing to me.

Sylvie was snubbed, withdrew her arm in a wry, sighed softly, and said no more.

"I'd rather believe that Wang Shi's words are true—she's seen Leng Xin and seen those snake-like twisted bodies. The hypnotism of the head descender is very powerful, and Mai Ye and the Dragon Elephant Girl are both leaders in this industry, so the last few words of Wang Shi are particularly credible. As I spoke, I cleared up my chaotic thoughts, and Mai Ye sent the Dragon Elephant Girl into the city, adding to the chaos for no reason, and I even regretted why I had to meet him.

"Well, Leng Xin's situation is not very good—" Xi Wei wanted to speak again, but the meaning of the words was very obvious.

"yes, it's not good. I added that sentence for her.

There is a limit to human endurance, and when you can't bear it anymore, you can quickly seek death to get the final liberation. I believe that as long as there is a glimmer of life, Leng Xin will never choose the path of self-destruction. She and Leng Hannan are both paranoid and will never give up until they reach their goals, which is the main reason why their father and daughter have been successful in archaeological research.

No longer speaking, Sylvie took out a miniature Sony camera from her pocket and carefully examined the data displayed on the LCD screen. She is more thoughtful than I thought, no matter how slim the chance of Leng Xin appearing again, she must be prepared.
