"Mr. Chen, Miss Bai, in your eyes, the 'Snake King' is a big man, and if he stomps his feet, the Southeast Asian drug market will tremble, but he can't get rid of the essence of 'human', and he will also desire immortality. Therefore, we were able to meet in Fort Everest and experienced nearly 30 life and death tests together. The party was called 'Feast', but there was no wine, no meat, no singing and dancing, only one level after another crisis struck, and if anyone could not withstand the pressure, they would be eliminated in an instant and become a delicacy under the pointed beak of the vulture. Luckily, as one of the seven people who reached the final level, I was honored to see the last question - Huh, Mr. Chen, you have been in a trance, what are you thinking?"

Tang Mei raised her glass to me, revealing a bitter smile of difficulty.

"I'm thinking that Miss Tang may be the most suitable person to serve as the leader of this generation of Tang Sect, because the historical records of the rivers and lakes record that there were seven masters of the Tang Sect in Shuzhong who participated in the grand event, and the final result was that they all became dry food for the vultures. If you make it to the last level, you can at least prove that you are smarter and braver than them. I hope that my answer is appropriate enough to arouse Tang Mei's interest in telling the whole story.

"Among the seven, including my father?" Bai Li frowned, perhaps Bai Shuyi hadn't mentioned this experience to her at all.

"Yes, he wears a mountain god mask with hideous features, and he is standing on my right hand. I also recognized that the one on my left was the previous generation of 'King of Killers' Sima Xue, the master who was most proficient in killing people with cold weapons and often asking for tens of millions of dollars. The other four, who have been silent, so I can't speculate on their identities. ”

Tang Mei made a small pause, and Bai Li's question had already rushed out of her mouth: "Miss Tang, I'm not interested in what happened, the only thing I want to know is what kind of changes my father has faced, so I will beg you to take action to end his life?"

That's the question I want to ask the most.

With the wine in my throat, I feel much happier and my spirits are trying to recover. Thais claim to have the "Three Treasures" – fragrant rice, snake gall bladder and stupa – which are the winning weapons that attract global travelers. After drinking this glass of snake gall wine, I couldn't help but move my index finger and my eyes fell on the whole bottle of good wine.

"Mr. Chen, please—" Bai Li obediently poured me a second glass of wine.

"Thank you, such a good wine requires a whole bottle of beef to enjoy it, doesn't it?" I reached out and grabbed the bottle with my right hand, and a light feeling of drunkenness came over me, and my whole body was very useful.

"I will ask Xiao Xie to send a whole box to the hotel where Mr. Chen stays, my father often said that every confidant has a thousand glasses of wine, as long as Mr. Chen likes it, as much as he wants, we will open up to serve. Bai Li's gentleness is in stark contrast to Tang Mei's rebelliousness, as long as it is a man, he understands how to make a choice between the two.

"That mutation is related to the 'Prometheus Fire'-" Tang Mei only said a simple half-sentence, Bai Li changed color again with an "ah", his hands shook violently, and the wine in the cup spilled out at once.

"Miss Bai, you must have read all the information collected by Ling Zun, and it may have been said that anyone who sees the 'Prometheus Fire' will be cursed by the Pharaoh, and his life will end in a specific period of time - ah, not the end, but the change of existence. The last question of the Inhumans at Fort Everest is to invite the seven to visit the 'Fire of Prometheus', that is, he wants to test the courage of the seven with the 'curse of the pharaohs'. As a result, the three of them automatically retreated and chose to give up, and in addition to me, Sima Xue, and Miss Bai's father, there was also one person who decided to take a risk. As a result, the four of us won the final level at the same time, and saw the golden pillar with gems embedded in the spotlight on eight sides, but the stranger disappeared in fear, and did not give us any 'secret of immortality' at all. ”

Bai Li let out a sigh of relief as Tang Mei breathed, as if when her narration came to an end, the two of them rejoiced together that this nightmarish journey had finally come to an end.

I drank a second glass of wine and interjected with pretense of ease: "What did you do when you found out that the feast was just a sensational hoax?

Tang Mei shook her head, got up from the rocking chair, and paced in front of me rather confused: "Mr. Chen, there is an unsolvable paradox here, can you detect it?"

The quartz clock has been faithfully recording the passage of time, from the moment of sitting to the present, another hour has passed, and it is one step closer to the end of Tang Mei's suicide and apology.

"The paradox is that whoever sees the 'Fire of Prometheus' will surely be cursed by the Pharaoh to die, but you have passed the final level of the 'Feast of the Immortal Warriors' and deserve the 'Secret of Immortality and Immortality', right?" Bai Li hurriedly replied.

She is right, the reason for this paradox is that the people in the rivers and lakes believe too much in the alien who lives on the snow peak all the year round, and they all think that the other party is a wise hermit who has passed away from the world and will never deceive people. Based on this, what the Inhumans want everyone to do, everyone will act according to their words and believe it is true.

"Miss Bai, you are very right, it is a coincidence, Ling Zun also said so at that time. So, we were all outraged by this paradox, and we discussed stealing the 'fire of Prometheus' as punishment for the stranger. As a result, we succeeded in breaking the hedron cover, and Sima Xue personally moved the golden pillar out, and agreed that all the benefits would be divided equally among the four people. ”

Tang Mei is a ranger in the rivers and lakes, and she has always lived a happy life of revenge, doing whatever she wants, even if she knows that it is a radical act, she will not stop.

"However, Sima Xue is dead, and my father has also died, is it possible that the curse of the Pharaoh has begun to take effect?

Sima Xue's death is an unsolvable mystery as he swooped down from the top floor of San Francisco's Bay Tower on a sunny afternoon, breaking his limbs into eleven pieces. How could a diamond man like him, who is rich, idle, talented, good-looking, and surrounded by beautiful cars, choose the path of sudden suicide? The police did not find any suspicious clues, so they could only classify this case as a headless unsolved case.

Tang Mei sighed in annoyance: "After Sima Xue's death, the whereabouts of the golden pillar that had been kept by him are unknown, and Ling Zun and I didn't get anything, and I was so frustrated that I almost went crazy. The fourth person who was with us lost contact as soon as the snow mountain came out, so it was only the two of us who really suffered losses, and the curse also followed. A few weeks ago, I crossed the border from the Golden Triangle, and it happened that your father was there, and he showed me a recent physical examination, and his whole body was occupied and devoured by cancer cells, and he was afraid that he would not survive this year, so he begged me to help him, so that it would not be worse in the future. ”

The hall suddenly fell silent, from beginning to end, Tang Mei was talking to herself, how can we trust her completely?

The phone in my pocket rang suddenly, and it turned out to be Xiwei calling: "Mr. Chen, there is a young man from the tour guide company who is in a hurry to find you, very anxious, she said...... She said...... "Syvi was trying desperately to suppress her tremors, but her voice was still very nervous, and her breathing became more and more rapid.

"What did she say?" I don't understand what the people from the tour guide company are looking for me.

"She said, she saw Miss Leng Xin—"

Xiwei's voice suddenly disappeared, and only the words "Leng Xin" echoed in my ears, getting louder and louder, until it exploded in my brain like a spring thunder: "Someone saw Leng Xin, she didn't die, she didn't die!"

"Mr. Chen, Mr. Chen, she's in the room right now, do you want to come back right away?" called out Xiwei anxiously.

"Of course I ...... Come back immediately, let her wait for me, wait for me no matter what, I will rush back as soon as possible!" After I closed the line, I first took three deep breaths on my back that went straight into the dantian qi sea, calmed down my emotions for the time being, and then nodded apologetically to Bai Li and Tang Mei: "I have something, urgent, I must go back to the hotel immediately, goodbye." ”

Before they could react, I strode to the top of the staircase, jumped down, pressed at the corner of the staircase, jumped up again, and within three seconds I was out of the hall on the first floor.

"Mr. Chen, please stay, please stay—" Bai Li followed, shouting urgently.

Several sturdy young men rushed up together, and as soon as their right hand reached into their trouser pockets, they were knocked to the ground by me with three punches and two kicks. The Mercedes Benz that had just picked me up was still there, and I pulled the car door straight away, grabbed the driver's collar and flicked it, and he fell straight out of ten meters and hit the young man who had just gotten up.

When I started the engine, Bai Li and Bai Xiaoxie rushed over at the same time, the only difference was that Bai Xiaoxie was holding a short gun with a black hole in his hand, while Bai Li was holding the bottle of French wine that he had not finished drinking.

"Mr. Chen, no matter what happens, the 'Snake King' disciple will always be your friend, and you can call at any time if you need it. She threw the wine into my arms, stretched out her arms to stop Bai Xiaoxie, and blocked Bai Xiaoxie.

I didn't have time to say anything polite, so I slammed on the gas pedal and the car engine roared to the private road outside the villa.

"Where is Leng Xin? Will it be a robber's lair, or will she get lost somewhere? As long as she shows up, I can find her, surely!" I turned the steering wheel mechanically, speeding through the river of cars, ignoring the traffic lights, just circling Leng Xin's name and Leng Xin's smiling face in my head.

I forgot how I parked my car outside the hotel, ran, went upstairs, and pushed the door, and when I came to my senses again, I was already standing in the living room of room 1808, and a thin black Chinese girl wearing a denim suit and travel shoes was getting up from the sofa and stretching out her right hand to me: "Is it Mr. Chen? I'm Wang Shi, a staff member of Andy Watson Travel Agency. ”

"Xinghui, where is Leng Xin?" I reached out to shake her, only to realize that my arm was trembling slightly uncontrollably.

Wang Shi scratched her hair and smiled a little embarrassedly: "Actually, I really can't tell where she is, let alone know this person, but she asked me to come to the hotel, saying that there should be a gentleman named 'Chen Ying'." I checked the guest register at the front desk, and when I saw your name, I believed that she was telling the truth. ”

I suppressed my agitation and repeated, "Tell me where she is, I'll drive to pick her up right away, and I'll never let her go again!"

Wang Shi withdrew his hand and shook his head desperately: "Mr. Chen, you misunderstood, I don't know where she is?"

I let out a loud "ah" and slashed my palm on the wardrobe on the side, and the half-inch-thick wooden board suddenly cracked and made a loud bang. This girl seems to have some problems in her head, and under my two questions, she will only keep clarifying that she "has never seen Leng Xin", but she can't say why she has come up at all. In my frustration, I could only vent the anger in my chest by hitting the wardrobe, and if there was a man standing in front of me, I would have slapped it with my palm and made him speak well.

"Mr. Chen, don't be in a hurry, sit down and speak slowly. Sylvie ran out of her bedroom, opened the fridge, and took out a can of chilled Coke for me. I pressed the soda can to my forehead, and a biting chill entered my cranial cavity, and my emotions slowly eased.

"Miss Wang, you'd better hurry up and tell you what you have encountered, and if you continue to talk incoherently, it won't be good to force Mr. Chen to beat people. It seems that Xiwei is also extremely dissatisfied with this girl named "Wang Shi", and her patience has been tortured to the limit.

"Well, okay, I said, but-" Wang Shi's dark eyes deftly rolled a few times, and he stopped talking.

I was really confused, and I forgot to pay the other party the information fee first, so that she would talk about other things again and again.

"Yes, wallet, as long as the information you tell is useful, the money in it belongs to you. I took out my wallet from my pocket and slapped it vigorously on the coffee table beside Wang Shi.

Her eyes lit up, and her slightly rickety back straightened: "Here's how it happened—"

The following is the narrative of Wang Shi, a third-level tour guide of the travel agency, although the plot is short, but under her expression of adding oil and vinegar and dancing eyebrows, she has been chattering for half an hour before it is completed-

The strange thing happened this afternoon, she led a Japanese tour group to visit the Pyramid of Khufu, and the time was planned to enter the tower at 1 p.m. and leave the tower at 3:30 p.m. This is a tour process agreed upon by the travel agency and the pyramid management department, and it has always been implemented in this way, and Wang Shi has long been familiar with it. However, after leaving the tower at half past three in the afternoon, when she counted the number of people, she found that there were two fewer tourists, and immediately arranged for everyone to board the station wagon to rest, and she entered the tower for the second time by herself.

Tourist attractions such as pyramids are only attractive to first-time tourists, and for Wang Shi, who comes in almost every day for 365 days a year, he has long been tired of the peak, and he does not even have the mood to look at the sides more.

She thought that the two tourists would lose their way by looking at the hieroglyphs on the walls of the pharaoh's tomb, so she just walked with her head buried in it, and secretly lamented as usual that her fate, a good and well-known college student, had fallen to the miserable point of doing odd jobs for a travel agency today.

"Hey, please stop, I have something to say-"

She heard a girl's voice ringing near, and at this moment she had just walked to the middle of the "great corridor", and was startled by the sound, and immediately looked up, but there was no one. After all, at this time of the day, it is a vacuum period after the withdrawal of the tour group, and there are only no more than ten security guards in the huge pyramid, but as far as she knows, the pyramid management office does not hire female security guards.

She thought she was having auditory hallucinations, after all, the pressure of life and work was too great, and she was in a painful state of making ends meet every day.

"Hey, I'm here, turn to the left and you'll see me. The voice rang out again.

This time, Wang Shi heard it clearly, and immediately turned ninety degrees and looked at the stone wall on the left. The "Great Corridor" is more than 40 meters long and is one of the special attractions inside the pyramid, but Wang Shi passes by here more than four times a day, and he has long been tired of seeing it, and recently he even feels that those weird hieroglyphs have all become hateful and ugly.

She saw a girl standing on a stone wall, wearing a black trench coat, her hair hanging straight, and her face was full of sadness.

"See me, can you see me?" the girl spoke pure and fluent English, but it was embedded in the plane of the stone wall, and her whole body seemed to be tightly imprisoned except for the opening of her mouth, and she could not move.

Wang Shi's first reaction was to retreat sharply, and then turned over sharply to look at the stone wall opposite, judging by her life knowledge, the stone wall seemed to have become a mirror at this moment, and the girl she saw in front of her was actually a shadow in the mirror. However, she looked around several times, but found no one but herself.

"You...... Who is it?" she asked in a trembling voice, and if it weren't for the fact that her legs and feet were already scared, she might have run away like a rabbit.

"Don't be afraid, I won't hurt you, my name is 'Leng Xin', and I'm an archaeologist from Hong Kong Island. Little sister, please go to the Moonlight Hotel to help me bring a message, find a gentleman named 'Chen Ying', tell him that I am imprisoned in the pyramid, and ask him to come and rescue me quickly. Don't worry, he will reward you well, please little sister, please ......"

Wang Shi had read the newspaper, of course she knew the news of Leng Xin's disappearance, but she couldn't believe that there would be a living person embedded in the stone wall, and she even walked to the stone wall after she settled down and tried to pull Leng Xin's hand.

The police have issued a reward notice of $5,000 for those who can provide Leng Xin's whereabouts, and $50,000 for those who find Leng Xin. Wang Shi hoped to get the money, but she only touched the cold stone wall.

"Little sister, please go, go, go......" Leng Xin's shadow gradually disappeared, leaving only Wang Shi, who was soaked in cold sweat. After her legs regained sensation, she sped all the way out of the pyramid, and drank four or five cans of beer in a row to calm her pounding heart.

She didn't tell anyone about the strange thing, and when the wagon returned to the city, she rushed to the Moonlight Hotel.

It was Xiwei who received her, but she insisted that she would never reveal anything until she saw me in person, so she forced Xiwei to call me.

"Before today, have you noticed anything unusual about the walls on both sides of the 'Great Corridor', and when Leng Xin's shadow disappeared, did you make a mark?" I asked cautiously, lest Wang Shi make up some details for the sake of the prize.

She shook her head resolutely: "No, since the news in the newspaper that Miss Leng disappeared, I have passed through the 'Great Corridor' at least fifty times, and this has never happened. I don't have to make a mark, I can remember exactly the number of steps I took into the 'big hallway' without an error of more than half a meter. ”

My emotions have completely calmed down, and I can carefully review every sentence Wang Shi said, hoping to summarize the most useful clues from them. Now, of course, if it wasn't late at night, I'd rush to the Pyramid of Khufu to see what was really on the stone walls of the "Great Corridor".

Xi Wei had been listening silently, and suddenly interjected: "Miss Wang, what else do you see besides Miss Leng's shadow? What is beside her, or can you tell us, what is it that imprisons her, is it the glass-like stone wall?"

Wang Shishu shuddered and tightened the collar of the denim top.

"What have you seen? Don't be afraid, tell me. "I was acutely aware of the problem.

She shook her head again, and pressed her hands to her chest in pain, like a drowning man about to suffocate.

I opened the refrigerator, took a can of Coke for Wang Shi, gently put it on the coffee table, and opened the wallet, which probably contained tens of thousands of dollars in cash.

"Miss Wang, this money only represents my personal gratitude, if you are willing to take us into the tower and find Leng Xin, I will write you a check for 500,000 US dollars, and I will never break my promise. "When I saw the cold little photo in the folder of my wallet, my whole heart ached uncontrollably.

The sixth sense is the most accurate, but what it tells me this time is - I can't find Leng Xin. Therefore, I stubbornly thought that there was a problem with the judgment of the sixth sense, as long as Wang Shi led the way, I would definitely be able to find Leng Xin, who had been missing for many days.

Wang Shi held a large amount of cash in his hand, and a bright smile immediately bloomed on his face, and he quickly rolled the money into a ball and stuffed it into the pocket of his jeans.

The bedroom door opened, and the dragon elephant girl strode out, stepped in front of Wang Shi, and let out a low shout, two brilliant white lights shot out of her eyes, which approached the other party's eyes: "Tell me, what else have you seen?" ghosts, gods, demons, or something more evil?"

She used not just "mind reading", but also high-level, high-energy "hypnotism and soul transfer". Mai Ye said that she had comprehended the highest level of the head descending master, and this statement was indeed true.

Wang Shi swallowed two mouthfuls of saliva "gurgling", tilted his neck with difficulty, and his eyes had become obsessed: "I see...... Something like a snake, lots and lots of it was entwined, right at her feet. Maybe she'...... It's that kind of thing behind it, they are incomparably fresh, entangled and squeezed in a tight and loose way, and I feel that Miss Leng and them will eventually merge and become one of them......"

I couldn't help but whisper, "That's enough! This little girl is talking nonsense, that's enough!"

The first time I entered the desert, I had the hallucinations of Leng Xin falling in the dark, as if she was about to fall in the middle of a large body like a snake, but I would rather believe that it was just an illusion, let alone admit that Wang Shi said that "she will become one with them" or something like that.

The dragon elephant girl waved her hand in front of Wang Shi's face, and she closed her eyes and fell asleep silently.

"Tomorrow morning, I'll go to the pyramids to see what is going on. My voice was soaked with a heavy bitterness.

The Dragon Elephant Girl suddenly remembered something: "Eagle, what about Bai Li and Tang Mei? Are they willing to let you go without the slightest obstruction?"

I vaguely remembered the conversation between the three people in the villa, but I was full of sleepiness and waves crashing on the shore, and shook my head weakly at the Dragon Elephant Girl: "The matter between the disciples of the Snake King and the Tang Sect in Shuzhong is very complicated, so leave them alone for the time being." "If it was a white wound who took the initiative to ask for death, Tang Mei would not have been charged with murder, and the battle between the two factions would have ceased fire, let alone apologize for the crime.

Perhaps, tonight it's time for me to pause and rest.

The third part is over
