"Ahh......h

"We may not be enemies, Mr. Chan. The man in black looked down at the shoe prints on his lower abdomen, slowly took off his sunglasses, and glanced at me with a very strange meaning. There is no doubt that he didn't attack with all his might, and with a master of his level, he should be able to spy on some of my flaws after seeing Xia Gai slash my Adam's apple and get hurt, rather than grabbing my shoulder.

"As long as you don't poison Miss Shevie, we're not enemies, and vice versa. I smiled coldly.

The man in black's eyes flashed, and he quickly swept over Xiwei's face, and he laughed dryly, and quickly shook his head: "No, no, there is no such thing as 'poisoning' at all—you all seem to be tired, so you mistakenly thought I used hypnotism or something." Don't worry, Mrs. Charlotte and Mr. Chagay are both rare philanthropists in Africa, how can they let our subordinates be rude? Haha, Mr. Chen is probably suspicious. What do you say, Miss Syvi?"

Although his eyes are not the most taboo "triangular snake eyes" in physiognomy, they are too narrow and long, like a bamboo chopstick that has been cut in the middle, which looks even more weird.

Sylvie didn't answer, silently took my arm, motioning for me to stop pestering them.

I nodded politely to the man in black, "That's my worry, goodbye." ”

Wireless monitoring equipment is installed inside the pyramid, and the hands-on process of several of us will be faithfully reflected in the monitoring screen. At this moment, three stout men in security uniforms and carrying black rubber batons came running quickly, panting between me and the man in black.

"Hey, what are you doing? get out there in a fight, and if we disrupt the order, we-" It was supposed to be a security squad leader who spoke, and his tone was rather rough. However, when Xia Gai got up, a smile like a spring flower suddenly bloomed on his face, and his voice immediately lowered by eighty percent, and his body immediately fell down: "It's Mr. Xia Gai, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, is there anything that needs to be served......?"

Xia Gai waved his hand, baring his teeth and sneering: "Go, take those two people away, they are suspected of secretly rubbing the murals of the tomb, and there is also an attempt to scrape the microorganisms in the tower as specimens." Keep your eyes open, if it weren't for me and the priest here, something would have happened. ”

With his and Charlotte's wealth, every word he uttered carried an invisible deterrent, after all, this is a money society where everyone is greedy for small profits.

The team leader turned around and looked at Xiwei and me suspiciously, not knowing what to do for a moment.

"Why don't you go?" Shagai kicked the squad leader hard in the ass, nearly knocking him down.

"You two, yet—" The squad leader took an unprovoked kick, and his anger slammed into him, and he roared violently, waving his hand fiercely at his companion and giving orders. But before the words were finished, a silver lightning bolt suddenly appeared in the dark tomb, and a huge zigzag passed in front of everyone's eyes.

After the lightning flash, everyone will have a brief blindness, before my attention was on Xia Gai, caught off guard for a moment, it was dark in front of me, and I couldn't see anything for a few seconds, but the strange lightning flashed repeatedly in my mind.

"Shevie. I grabbed Sylvie's soft arm with my backhand, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"I'm here, I'm here. Shelvie whispered in response, but another trembling voice followed, mingling with her gentle whisper, "What are you thinking?" Tell me, tell me...... The voice was in my ears, and I could even clearly feel the breath of the other person as he spoke.

"Who is it?" I turned my head intently, and for a moment, my eyes still couldn't see anything.

"It doesn't matter who I am - would you like to give you the 'Sea of Gold'? It's a huge treasure that everyone covets, as long as you tell me 'what are you thinking'. I want your thoughts, not all of them, but just a tiny bit, agree, to exchange one-thousandth of a thousand thoughts for a wealth that will never be spent, and wise people know how to choose, don't they?" the voice flickered, in English with an Egyptian accent.

"Priest, is that you? don't pretend to be a ghost, these little hypnotic tricks don't work for me. If you continue to entangle, everyone will have to tear your face and do it. "If it weren't for the sake of taking care of Xiwei, my counterattack would have been launched a long time ago, and I have repeatedly endured, but I just don't want to make things bigger.

Blind vision has lasted for ten seconds, which is a very strange thing, and usually the pupil adaptation process takes only three to five seconds.

"Mr. Chen, I can't see anything, what's going on, who are you talking to?" Xiwei leaned close to me, her tone frightened and confused.

"It's like a priest's voice, don't worry, I'm here, it's fine. I shook her arm, trying to soothe her in a soothing tone.

Something seemed to be moving in the darkness, right in front of me, and something was squirming under my feet, and a grinding sound came to my ears one after another.

With a crackle, a series of brilliant sparks burst out in front of my eyes, and my vision was restored, but the light in front of me was rather dim, and I could only vaguely see the silhouettes of Shagai, the priest, and the three security guards. The squad leader's hand was still raised in the air, and he never waved it down, and the groveling look was funny.

"It seems that you're not interested in the 'Sea of Gold', okay okay, we might try to talk about something else, like a strong desire that currently exists in your mind-" A gust of wind rushed from the side, and I subconsciously raised my left palm to block, but it was really just a gust of wind, and when I turned my head, I saw only more tourists who were frozen and solemn, everyone seemed to suddenly fall into a fault line in time, maintaining a momentary freeze-frame expression.

"Yes, it's a time gap, and your mind is pretty sharp, just like her. The gust of wind swirled around my left palm, and with a snort, it rushed towards the front of the corridor, drawing my eyes to Charlotte.

At that moment, Charlotte also turned to this side and made eye contact with me. She had a pair of eyes as calm as water, as bright as stars, just a glance, a cool and silent soaked all over my body, and the slightly anxious mood suddenly calmed down.

All the people around her were also still, and in the background of the deep passage, they seemed illusory and terrifying.

"Who are you?" I realized I was a little distracted, and immediately withdrew my thoughts and turned my eyes to where the wind was coming from.

"Does it matter? exchanging a little thought for what you crave, that's just a deal, it doesn't matter who I am—okay, I'll give you Leng Xin, you give me your thoughts, it's as simple as that. The sound mingled with the wind, tumbling and jumping in mid-air, always avoiding my gaze.

I sneered and looked back at Syvi. A string of sparks exploded in front of her face, and she frowned slightly, her pale lips pursed into a line, her eyes wide open and staring ahead, one hand holding the motion of her arm on my shoulder.

In this space, which is akin to a "time gap", only Charlotte and I are able to move freely, and the rest of us are excluded, becoming part of the background along with the stone walls of Yongdao.

The voice was a little disappointed, and asked uneasily: "You don't want Leng Xin, then what do you want?"

Out of the corner of my eye, the priest was temporarily transformed into a sculpture without exception, which had nothing to do with the strange voice.

"What do you want? What do you want? As long as you bring it up, I can satisfy you-"

I ignored it and turned to Charlotte in thought, meeting her silently inquiring gaze. The voice chased me, in front and back, but it never stopped me.

After twenty steps, I was standing side by side with Charlotte in front of the stone wall, slowly raising my palms and pressing them against the stone wall.

Wang Shi said that Leng Xin had appeared here and was able to talk to her clearly. However, it now appears that this stone wall is no different from any wall inside the pyramid, made entirely of carved and polished boulders, and there is not a trace of the image.

The chill on the stone wall reached the palm of my hand, and as I continued to push with all my strength, these ancient stones remained motionless, and there was no sign of a mysterious mechanism.

"What are you looking for? is it?" a gentle Chinese female voice sounded, which was quite standard Chinese. At the same time, a miniature silver camera was raised in front of my eyes and shook slightly.

I looked back and saw Charlotte's slightly melancholy eyes and blonde hair curled up in front of her forehead.

"I think you should need it, at least for now, and you want to get that piece of Miss Wang Shi more than anyone else—" She smiled, her white teeth flashing in the hazy darkness.

Without hesitation, I reached out to take the camera and smiled calmly: "Thank you." ”

It was a half-worn Sony machine, with an advertising label for the travel agency where Ms. Wang worked above the camera. Xiwei and I guessed correctly, Wang Shi really concealed some important plots, and gave the most profitable part to the richest buyer, that is, Charlotte, the richest man in Egypt.

"Mr. Chen, I have one more thing to say before turning on the camera. You should know that I am a businessman, and a businessman does everything for a purpose, and never does unprofitable and boring business, please forgive me-" She raised her right hand, her slender index finger lightly pressing the power switch of the camera.

During the time since Leng Xin's disappearance, I have seen her in my dreams every night, but those are only memories of her before. Now, when I could see her again at the flip of a switch, I suddenly felt an indescribable fear, or just a gut fear—"Is she okay?

"Can you promise me?" Charlotte sighed, looking away from her fingertips.

I nodded, the camera changed to my left hand, and I quietly lowered my right hand and wiped the cold sweat from my palm on my clothes.

"Mr. Chen, the dignitaries around Mr. President often mention your name, and they all say that as long as you go out, there is no unfinished mission in the world. There is something that has been bothering me, and I think about it, and if you ask for it yourself, there may be a solution, so I bought Wang Shi's camera at a high price—you won't blame me for this, right?" Her two slender and dark eyebrows raised, revealing more of a businessman's shrewdness than a slight apology.

This was a bit unexpected, I originally thought that she was interested in the stone wall of the large corridor before she made a deal with Wang Shi.

I made a "please continue" gesture, but my face was not moving.

"What I'm going to ask Mr. Chen to do is not clear in a hurry, and how you feel when you get the camera...... Oh, I can fully understand that an amorous man always touches a woman deeply. Since Mr. Chen's mood is already in turmoil, I don't have to choose this time to disturb, I will make a special letter to invite her to have a deep talk within three days, what do you think?"

Charlotte spoke eloquently, and every sentence made sense to me, which made me understand that this was not only a young and beautiful woman, but also a scheming, business-minded high-ranking businessman.

"It's a deal. "I was struck by what she said, and I also understood that the reason why she appeared here today was completely a series of games set up by Wang Shi's adventures. Now that you've been hit in the game, let's go at her pace.

Charlotte smiled, and the golden curls draped over her shoulders jumped energetically: "Then, Mr. Chen, please." ”

I pressed my thumb on the camera's power switch, felt heavier than I had ever felt before, and took three deep breaths in quick succession before concentrating and slowly pulling down. With a "tick", the monitoring screen lit up immediately.

"Leng Xin—" I caught Leng Xin's figure at first glance on the rapidly shaking screen, and the black trench coat she was wearing almost blended in with the dark space behind her. The picture shook very much, and it can be imagined that Wang Shi was very panicked at that time, and in a hurry, the camera hurriedly scanned both sides of the large corridor several times, presumably looking for help from others.

Judging from the picture, the place as far as the eye can see is empty, except for Wang Shi, who is holding a camera, there is no figure.

"Who are you...... You are...... Who? Don't come...... Don't come here......" Wang Shi's screams trembled like a flag torn by a hurricane, but she finally tried hard to focus the camera on Leng Xin's face, and adjusted the focus to slowly zoom in on the frame.

Leng Xin's face was calm, still with the calm smile I was familiar with: "I'm Leng Xin, an archaeologist from Hong Kong Island. Miss, have you read the recent newspapers? Is there any mention of me missing—"

Wang Shi's voice blurted out abruptly and highly: "Ah, Leng Xin, is it the person who the Cairo police have a high bounty? is really you?" She is most interested in money-related topics, so Leng Xin's name is directly linked to the police's bounty, and she is naturally very fluent.

Leng Xin smiled and nodded, Wang Shi was still shouting in a state of fear and excitement: "What are you doing there? Come here, the police's bounty ...... No, I think a lot of people are looking for you, come here, ah-" She rushed towards Leng Xin eagerly, and within a few steps, she hit the stone wall, causing the recorded footage to shake suddenly, probably stumbling, almost dropping the camera, and then letting out a scream.

I stared at Leng Xin on the screen, and a big stone in my heart gradually let go, because she looked normal, her emotions were stable, and there was no sign of being threatened with hijacking.

"Huh, be careful—" Charlotte cried out suddenly, and a man burst out of the darkness and slashed at my left shoulder with a knife. Charlotte and I were the only ones who were able to move and talk freely, and this person was clearly standing in the middle of a crowd of tourists who were walking forward, as silent as everyone else, unobtrusive, but I didn't expect everything to be disguised.

"Li Tian?" I smelled the bloody chill on his blade, and I couldn't avoid it, so I drew my sword to meet him and cut the opponent's left shoulder. Fighting against such an enemy whose martial prowess and wits are equally brilliant, dodging is almost synonymous with death, and as long as you flinch at the beginning, there is no room to fight back.

The two knives clashed in mid-air, making a piercing sound of gold and iron when the blades intersected, and I was clearly at a disadvantage when I was attacked with the sword, and I was at least slightly injured in about fifty rounds.

"Li Tian, I know it's you, you don't have to pretend—" As long as anyone who has fought with me will not escape my eyes.

The other man was silent, and suddenly leaned back and slid forward, the knife slashing at Charlotte's throat. I didn't have time to think, so I swooped down, threw away the camera, and stabbed the other man in the heart with a thunderous sword. This is the most common example in textbooks to explain the strategy of "encircling Wei to save Zhao", but in the face of a master like Li Tian, only the attack method of "losing both sides and burning the jade" will be effective.

Charlotte was the most innocent bystander, and had just handed over the camera, so it was only natural that I would do my best to save her.

"Hahahaha......" The other party's body rolled out from under the tip of my knife, spinning like a high-speed gyro, and catching the camera that could fall on the ground.

"Bang Bang Bang", four bullets shot out of the gun hidden in his sleeve, hitting the blade of my sword, bursting out a series of sparks. Before the sound of the bullet casings could land, he was already bouncing up, standing with his back against the stone wall, replacing the deadly knife with a large-caliber rapid-fire pistol.

"I'm Li Tian, and the transfiguration technique is for others to see, of course I can't fool you - don't move, Mr. Chen, I know you can dodge bullets, but Lady Charlotte doesn't have this ability. There were still sixteen bullets in the magazine, which could be poured out in about three seconds, shooting such a beautiful woman into a honeycomb. Even if you don't care about her and rush up to grab it, then I'm sorry, I've also practiced hard skills from outside, and I crush the camera in a third of a second, and no one can see the content inside. So, you, and you, please stay where you are, and now the big picture is under my control, isn't it?"

Li Tian, who appeared this time, had a dark complexion, dressed as a local guide in Africa, and his body structure was also shortened by half a foot, if it weren't for exposing his martial arts under the fight for his life, I wouldn't have thought it was him at all.

"Those tapes are useless to you. I sighed and put my sword away, having an enemy like him is the worst thing that can happen, once you fall behind, it is extremely difficult to turn over.

Li Tian silently waved the muzzle of his gun and ordered Charlotte to come to me.

"Mr. Chen, I have a backup of the videotape, don't worry, it's in the study of the manor. Charlotte escaped from the line of life and death, her expression still calm, and slowly approached me.

Until now, I still can't guess Li Tian's intentions. According to Cai Xiaofo and Sikong Xingxing, Li Tian has a map to enter the "Sea of Gold", and he has coveted those peerless treasures for a long time, but to this day, why hasn't he started to take the treasure, but has been entangled with various forces in Egypt?

"Backup?" Li Tian sneered, and suddenly clenched his throat, "Xia Gai, priest, you will follow me to the Great Pyramid early tomorrow morning to see what is on the stone wall of the 'Great Corridor'. It's not a big deal to pay a little bit of money for this camera, just don't let this first-hand information fall into the hands of someone else. ”

He was imitating a woman who spoke like Charlotte.

Charlotte's face changed slightly: "You...... Have you eavesdropped on our conversation?" she bit her lip and raised her chin, trying to maintain an awe-inspiring image.

"Yes, I did eavesdrop, but your conversations all night didn't make any sense, they were just random speculation. The only thing that has some value is this camera, but now it seems that there is nothing on the stone wall, maybe we have all been tricked once-" Li Tian pressed the camera's fast play button with one hand, and in less than a minute, he finished browsing the entire videotape, and then sighed in disappointment.

The strange sound that had been bothering me just now seemed to disappear and never reappeared. Me, Charlotte, and Li Tian stood in the midst of a large field of clay and wood sculptures, and this situation was really incredible.

"What do you want?" said Charlotte and I spoke almost at the same time.

Li Tian shrugged his shoulders: "This question is difficult to answer, what I want is what every ruler in the history of mankind for tens of thousands of years wants." ”

That sentence can be summed up as the word "money and power", in fact, "rich in the world, power in the government and the opposition" may be the lifelong pursuit of every careerist, but some people's goals have not been achieved until death, while others have achieved it but have not been able to keep it permanently, and it will decay rapidly with the rolling torrent of dynasty change.

"Mr. Li Tian, I've heard some things about you, but it's clear that we don't have any conflict of interest, right? Take the camera with you, and that's the end of today's business, right?" Charlotte wiped her somewhat messy blonde hair, her hands resting behind the roots of her ears, and a smile slowly appeared on her lips.

I took a steep step between her and Li Tian, and at the same time raised my hands high, lest Li Tian misunderstand and shoot.

Charlotte was stunned, and cried out angrily and annoyedly: "Mr. Chen, what are you doing?" There was some kind of small needle-like hidden weapon hidden behind her ear, trying to use the opportunity to arrange her hair to launch a surprise attack on Li Tian. However, this is a very unwise and dangerous move, I have seen Li Tian's skills, if she is allowed to release the hidden weapon, she must die.

"Don't be impulsive, the biggest enemy at the moment is the strange wind that hides around us, do you feel it?" or rather, have you heard the sound it makes?" I looked into the depths of the tunnel, and it was too easy to hide an invisible wind inside the huge pyramid.

Li Tian nodded quickly: "I've heard, Chen Ying, guess what it is?"

Charlotte sneered: "Why bother to guess, that's the patron saint of the pyramids." The ancient Egyptians kept building the pyramids under the supervision of the gods, just to give the patron saints a secluded abode, these remarks have long been mentioned in ancient Egyptian books, how could a wise person like Mr. Li Tian not know?"

I pointed fifteen paces to the side of Li Tian and whispered a warning, "It's coming, whether it's a patronus or something, it's there—" My instinct told me that the strange wind was hovering in a corner of the corridor, lying low, waiting for an opportunity to move.

Charlotte is right, in most of the ancient legends of the Egyptians, the theme of "the pyramid is the home of the guardian god, responsible for guiding the soul of the pharaoh to the heavens", which is why the strange force of the "guardians of the dead" where Mingyue is born.

Li Tian rolled his eyes and frowned slightly: "Where is it?"

Everyone's intuition is innate, and it's normal for me to feel something that others can't perceive. As he shifted his mind and neglected his defense, I silently slid forward, grabbed his pistol with my right hand, and pressed it on the circlip, and the magazine fell down with a clatter, just as I copied it.

In a flash of light, his knife silently swept across my Adam's apple again, just a fraction of a second, but my left hook hit him firmly in the lower abdomen, knocking him backwards. The situation was immediately reversed, and Li Tian's pre-emptive advantage of holding a gun in hand was gone, and I had a good helper like Charlotte by my side.

"Hah, perfect blow!" Charlotte laughed with her applause, letting out a sulk.
