"So, what's the use of taking the key, who's behind it?" Charlotte's voice was still calm.

Xia Gai shook his head in frustration: "I don't know, but we all know very well that several underworld forces have made moves recently, including the group of undead guardians. Alas, I'm getting confused, what the hell are these people trying to do, and what do they know? Thankfully, no one knows about our big plans—"

Charlotte suddenly waved her hand categorically: "Wrong, Xia Gai, you are very wrong!" She turned around and pointed at me coldly, "At the very least, I suspect that Chen Ying has already seen something, so he has been grasping the strange things that happened in the Moonlight Hotel." It is imperative that you carry out that research as soon as possible, produce the finished product as soon as possible, and then process it in batches to meet the needs of the big plan. ”

She slowly paced in front of the astronomical telescopes, reached out and stroked the barrel of one of them, and asked herself worriedly, "Chen Ying, what does he know?"

Xia Gai scratched his head: "It's better to just kill him, then it's a hundred!"

His prejudice against me was very deep, and it was formed as early as the great corridor of the pyramids.

"Xia Gai, why are you so ignorant? As I said earlier, we don't know much about the specific steps and results of the grand plan, but we only do it step by step according to the will of our ancestors, and the meaning of the words in the blood letter is very obscure—if there are smart people who can give their own opinions on the same thing, it will actually be good for us. As long as Chen Ying is controlled, it will definitely be beneficial and harmless to the big plan, do your thing!" Charlotte's face showed obvious displeasure.

Xia Gai sneered: "Control and control, shouldn't you be tempted by this guy?" The blood book said that all the children of my Xia family, all their bodies and minds are dedicated to the gods, and they are all slaves of the gods throughout their lives. Otherwise, we will be reduced to a bottomless abyss, and there will be no day of salvation. I remind you that we are all people who have seen the bottomless abyss, and if we become one of those monsters and have to live endlessly, we can't even kill ourselves......"

He shrugged his shoulders, his face pale, as if those unpleasant memories had once again piled up in front of him.

Charlotte scolded coldly: "You don't need to remind me, I have my own measure, go down." ”

Her gaze flicked to the two golden-sheathed Arabian scimitars hanging crosswise on the wall on the left, then turned her face and glared at Xia Gai fiercely, repeating again, "Xia Gai, you go, I want to think about the big plan quietly alone." No one is allowed to come in without my command. ”

Xia Gai rolled his eyes, snorted coldly in his nose, and turned out in disappointment.

Charlotte leaned over the telescope and carefully rotated the focus wheel, intently observing. The room slowly quieted down, with only the occasional birdsong outside the window coming in in the wind, adding a wonderful background sound to this rare tranquility.

It's clear that the Charlotte siblings have a huge secret that they call "The Big Plan". Shagai and the priests were probably the executors of this plan, and the former was doing a very important study that was crucial to the success of the plan. As Xia Gai mentioned just now, it was Sikong Xingxing who appeared out of thin air and took the key. When I slowly recalled the beginning and end of Sikong Xingxing and Cai Xiaofo's appearance in Cairo, I suddenly felt that the two of them also had secrets in their hearts, and they came to Cairo not only to avoid pursuit, but to have their own specific goals.

"Is it the 'Sea of Gold'?" I asked myself silently.

Gold is a dream thing for earthlings, and in addition to its currency circulation value, many psychological studies have concluded that gold has a very important psychological impact on earthlings. It is repeatedly mentioned in the ancient medical classics of the Chinese that moderate consumption of gold leaf can beautify, rejuvenate, cure diseases and prolong life, which shows that the all-round study of gold has been a proposition that scientists have valued since ancient times.

I don't want the two of them to have an affair, because when it comes to dealing with the "sea of gold", anyone can be the first to be dealt with by the pretenders.

"Is that time coming? The descendants of the Pirate King will eventually give everything for the mistakes of their ancestors, but I don't want that outcome, I want to live happily until the end of my life. Unfortunately, I can't stop it, the gears of time decide everything, and it will never be diverted by human willpower. ”

She covered her face, her shoulders trembling, and she sobbed silently.

As the minutes ticked by, Charlotte's mood grew worse and worse, and when she leaned over the telescope's eyepiece again, her right hand flapped irritably on the tripod.

Suddenly, a milky white shadow appeared on the glass window, using both hands and feet, clinging to the glass. The shadow had flipped down from the roof, and its eyes were milky white, which must have been caused by some kind of protective goggles. The shadow lingered on the glass for more than four seconds, and a figure was drawn from the glass beneath it, and it fell into the room. His light skills were indeed good, he rolled on the ground twice, the glass was unscathed, but the person was already close to Charlotte's back.

Shadow's two sleeves flashed out of two wishful hooks, and the hook blades cut crosswise towards the back of Charlotte's neck, with a simple and practical technique, and the shot was merciless.

I was the one who was controlled by Charlotte's hypnosis, and for a moment, even if I tried to save her, I couldn't scream.

The thin blade of the Ruyi Hook flashed with a blue cold light, and it was definitely quenched with some kind of powerful poison.

Charlotte's body suddenly floated out horizontally, like a faint light smoke, and when she spun freely in mid-air, she drew her hands and two Arab scimitars out of their sheaths, jingling to block more than a dozen rounds of Shadow's pursuit, and at the same time knocking away more than thirty fragmentary hidden weapons launched by Shadow with her toes and knees.

"Is it Tang Mei?" I was slightly taken aback, because Tang Mei's appearance in the here and now proves that the Tang Sect in Shuzhong has some kind of direct conflict relationship with Charlotte, which can also indirectly show that the Charlotte family is also connected with the "Sea of Gold".

The hidden weapon of the Tang Gate in Shuzhong has always been a treasure in the history of Chinese Jianghu weapons, regardless of the good or evil of the Tang Sect characters, only the genius who exerts his mind to the extreme will create such a variety of forms, different firing techniques of the hidden weapon, the weapon with the main purpose of "sneak attack, assassination" is made like the fireworks in the night sky on the National Day, dazzling, dizzying.

In contrast, Charlotte's knife skills are lonely and submerged, every move and style are ruthless and to the point, as if a clever chef who has perfected the realm, there are no fancy moves, but the knife is deadly, and the intention is to go first.

In the fierce battle, Tang Mei suddenly shouted: "Stop!"

The Hidden Weapon vanished with this sound, and her wishful hook each set up an astronomical telescope, with the arrogant smile of the victor on her face.

Charlotte frowned, looking Tang Mei up and down, but did not take the initiative to speak.

"Don't move, with a flick of my hook, the two telescopes will be ruined and irremedy. It is said that these things are so precious that they are the only four remaining on Earth. You, give me the Pirate King's blood book, and everyone will make an equal exchange, and then I will give up the telescope and take Chen Ying away, how about it?" Tang Mei shook her arms, and the tripod of the telescope immediately shook.

When I entered this villa before, I noticed that the courtyard outside was full of secret whistles, so Tang Mei was able to enter this room safely without much effort, which could only indicate that the guards intended to release water. When she thought that the big picture was in her hands, she had fallen into Charlotte's trap.

"Telescopes are useless to you, and they are not a threat, but if you want to talk about them, stay away from them. Charlotte sat down calmly behind her desk and dropped her knives. I was amazed by her skills, the swords she had just used were all from some of the biggest European martial arts schools, but she didn't do her best.

Tang Mei slowly moved towards me, but Charlotte immediately stopped her: "Miss Tang, don't touch him! Otherwise, it will only take 0.01 second to die!"

Suddenly, the red dots emitted from the four infrared sights terrifyingly locked onto Tang Mei's eyebrows and chest, all of which came in through another window. My guess is right, Tang Mei's infiltration has long been under the surveillance of the other party.

Tang Mei suddenly raised her head proudly and stared at Charlotte with a smile: "You won't kill me, because only I can help you unlock the secret of the 'Prometheus Fire'." It is a secret of mutation and death, and those who get involved with it have only one way to die, or life is worse than death. Actually, I'd love to see how a girl as noble and beautiful as Miss Charlotte transforms—"

Charlotte suddenly raised her hand, covered her ears and shouted: "No, no, don't say it, I don't want to hear it!"

There was a sudden cold scene in the study, only the four murderous red dots flickered slightly, reflecting Tang Mei's eyebrows.

After a long time, Charlotte calmed down from her gaffe, rang the electric bell on the corner of the table, and ordered in an astringent voice: "Send two cups of coffee in, in addition, I have something important to deal with, and no one is allowed to harass." ”

Tang Mei put away the Ruyi hook, tidied up her clothes, and sat down on the sofa next to me. She has some chips that are important to the bigger picture, so she is very qualified to negotiate terms with Charlotte. The four red dots shook and fell back on her, but with a wave of Charlotte's hand, the red dots disappeared without a sound.

A woman in a gray Arabic robe brought in two cups of coffee, then stepped back without squinting.

"Say Miss Tang, what do you want to do? In Cairo, Egypt, and even on the African continent, I can do anything if I want, including entering the secret tomb of the Pharaoh. And you, it's better to recognize the situation, honestly hibernate or simply work for me. Wouldn't it be better if we could sit down and drink tea in peace, and not have to fight fiercely?"

Charlotte's every word is the truth, without any exaggeration. With her power today, it is just a gesture to retain Tang Mei and exterminate the remnants of the Tang Sect who have entered Africa.

"Blood book, take away Chen Ying, it's as simple as that. Tang Mei smiled, because she knew that she had choked Tang Mei's throat.

"Hahahaha-" Charlotte laughed too, but suddenly frowned, "Do you know what the Blood Book represents? It is a relic of the Pirate King, the supreme faith of our family. If you make such a request, you will be asking Christians to give up the cross of God, which will never be possible. ”

"So, only wait until the end and see the result?" Tang Mei seemed to be prepared for such an ending.

"Okay, when all the people from the Tang Sect in Shuzhong are dead, you will probably know the seriousness of this matter. Charlotte was-for-tat, and in a few words, the two of them blocked each other's retreats, and there was no room for turnaround.

With Charlotte's ability in black and white in Africa, it will not be too difficult to encircle and annihilate the Tang men who have traveled thousands of miles to Cairo, but the endless consequences brought by it are something that everyone can think of. In the history of the Chinese rivers and lakes, the Tangmen in Shuzhong has been surrounded and suppressed by strong enemies more than a dozen times, and people are withered and dying, but as long as they take a breath, they will immediately be like weeds in the wasteland, even if there are only a few grass roots and grass seeds left, they can survive and breathe, and overnight, they will be green all over the mountains.

Therefore, the ancient adage of "never look down on the Tang Gate in Shuzhong" is something that every character in the rivers and lakes will memorize.

Tang Meifei let out a long sigh, raised her right hand, and a cup of coffee on the desk jumped up in the air and fell into her hand.

"Aren't you afraid I'm going to poison my coffee?" Charlotte sneered as she picked up another cup of coffee.

"Poisoning? You may have forgotten my identity, right? The Tang Sect's ability to make and poison in Shuzhong is invincible in the world, where can people from your small African countries understand?" As soon as she talked about this topic, Tang Mei's arrogance unconsciously revealed. In the field of killing people with poison, the people of the Tang Sect do have this kind of qualification to stand out from the crowd.

"Africans, no, no one dared to say such a big thing in front of my ancestors when they sailed the skull flag pirate ship across the seven seas. As the descendants of the Spanish Pirate King, our status in the rivers and lakes will not be much lower than that of the Tang Sect in Shuzhong. Miss Tang, now is the era of universal harmony, and people who rest on their laurels will only make people laugh for no reason, right?" Charlotte pinched the small silver spoon and gently stirred the coffee, although her head was lowered, her voice also revealed an awe-inspiring and inviolable pride.

Suddenly, there was a rumbling thunder in the distance, and the glass window made a trembling sound, and the piece of glass that had just been cut by Tang Mei shook a few times, fell to the ground, and shattered into hundreds of pieces.

"Is it an earthquake?" I reacted quickly, and the whole villa trembled. On the street a little closer, the alarms of more than a dozen luxury cars sounded together, forming a strange chorus of noise. In the courtyard outside the building, several African maids shouted and ran in a panic, but they were immediately pressed down by other people, and they did not dare to make a second shout.

"Recently, geologists in Cairo jointly issued an earthquake warning, and many citizens did not take it seriously. Well, now that this micro-earthquake reminds the bureaucrats and philistines who sit back and relax that they can face up to the scientists' research—" neither Charlotte nor Tang Mei looked surprised, but the latter seemed to be pondering all the time, and did not even respond to Charlotte's words.

After the first tremor passed, I felt something strange in the telescope in front of the window, but I couldn't find anything suspicious for a while.

Tang Meihuo stood up, slid under his feet, and approached the telescope again. This time, Charlotte arrived half a step ahead of her, and the scimitar was held across her chest, blocking Tang Mei's way.

Just three steps behind Charlotte, a white pass suddenly flashed from the mirror of a telescope, piercing the roof like an arrow. My heart was struck by the fact that this white light was so intense that it was almost non-existent on earth, and it was comparable to the bright light I had seen near the pyramids that night.

The telescope is nothing more than a combination of metal and glass lenses, which have no signs of life of their own, and only faithfully offer assistance to those who use it. So when I saw the white light, my first thought was to rush up and grab the telescope in my hand to see what was going on inside.

Charlotte let out a loud cry and half-turned to the left, the white light out of the corner of her eye. I was impressed by her expression at the time, her mouth was half open, her eyes were round, and the twin knives in her hands had lost their strength. If Tang Mei took the opportunity to attack at this moment, she would definitely succeed easily, but she was facing the telescope, and her foot steps that were advancing rapidly stopped, and she let out a surprise sigh, jumped with her arms, flew over Charlotte's head, and landed next to the telescope.

"Don't touch that thing!" The secret door of the study was slammed open, and Xia Gai and the priest both rushed in, raising their hands at the same time, trying to stop Tang Mei.

A faint scent of rosewood was quietly wafting through the study, but all four of them were in a state of high tension, and no one had time to take care of this, and everyone's attention was focused on the telescope. After the white light, everything returned to calm, and there was nothing unusual on the mirror, which could be seen from Tang Mei's disappointed expression.

"Don't touch the binoculars, or you'll never want to get out of the villa alive. Xia Gai angrily glanced at the glass shards in front of the window and warned Tang Mei viciously. The priest was always standing behind him, his face calm and not speaking, but his eyes were always staring at Tang Mei's hands pressed on the telescope without blinking.

Tang Mei shrugged her shoulders coldly and gave up further exploration of the telescope: "Okay, I won't touch it, you two, it's better to quit now, I still have something to talk about with Miss Charlotte." ”

Charlotte's chest couldn't stop rising and falling, the excitement just now had not calmed down, and she gasped slightly and asked, "What are you talking about? As I've already said, the best solution is for you to take your men out of here and don't have any bad ideas. ”

Tang Mei spread out her hands, made a "it doesn't matter" action, and smiled faintly: "Actually, we can make an equivalent exchange, for example, I use the 'Prometheus Fire' to exchange the blood book - in short, the big and small things on the rivers and lakes are inseparable from the words 'things are man-made'." As long as everyone is sincere, any dead knot can be untied, right?"

Her words made Xia Gai sneer: "What?" The 'Prometheus Fire' is in your hands......?

I tried to find some clues from Tang Mei's face, hoping to tell if she was lying. The legend of the "Fire of Prometheus" has been circulating in the rivers and lakes for nearly a hundred years, and no one knows what it is used for, but they all regard it as a touchstone for invincible warriors.

"Really?" the priest, who had been silent, suddenly interjected.

Tang Mei's eyes turned, and she swept over the priest with contempt, snorting coldly in her nose, and did not answer this question.

"Really?" Charlotte pondered for a moment, repeating the question. For a moment, she, Xia Gai, and the priest exchanged mysterious glances in succession, and I noticed that Xia Gai's eyes were full of irrepressible ecstasy. Among the three, only he has the least experience in the rivers and lakes, and he is also the most uncontrollable, so he will invisibly reveal many of Charlotte's secrets.

"Of course it's true, but all I can offer is the exact whereabouts of the 'Prometheus Fire'. My people have already tracked down the holder of that treasure is rushing from the Tibetan Border Snow Mountain to this side, as long as he has enough patience, when he enters the encirclement of the Tang Gate, it will not be difficult to capture the treasure alive. I firmly believe that the 'Prometheus Fire' will be 99% sure that it will fall into the hands of the Tang Sect, so that you can exchange the blood book with Your Excellency." "Tang Mei said these words very calmly, and I didn't see any signs of lying.

"No way, no way, she's lying—" Shagai raised his voice and was about to take a step forward, when his feet suddenly went limp, and he staggered and fell. Charlotte reached out to help him, but she stumbled and fell to the ground at the same time as Shagai, waving her hands helplessly in the air.

Tang Meimeng sniffed, sensing the strange aroma in the air, and wanted to raise her hand to cover her mouth and nose, but as soon as her wrist was raised, she fell to the ground and couldn't struggle to get up.

"Catch ...... Live her...... Grab ......" Xia Gai mustered up all his strength, and finally squeezed out a vague half sentence from between his teeth. Only the priest was still standing strong, watching the successive changes in front of him with cold eyes.

Tang Mei rolled on the ground continuously, hiding in the corner, then lowered her head and bit a button on the left cuff. After a few seconds, her spirit immediately recovered significantly, and with a hard struggle, she bit the clasp off, chewed it a few times, and swallowed it into her stomach. I can guess that it is a kind of antidote, but it is carried around in the guise of a button, precisely to deal with the current critical situation of accidental poisoning.

"Who poisoned it? Yes...... What kind of poison?" Her face flushed slightly, after all, she couldn't tell what kind of poison it was after being secretly poisoned, it was really a shame to lose face for the Tang Sect.

The priest stepped forward, ignoring the three men who had fallen to the ground, and walked firmly towards the telescope, which had just emitted a white light. His legs kept shaking, but he kept moving forward, leaning in close to the camera, looking intently.

"Yes...... The ...... of the Celestial Gods It's time...... Is it?" Charlotte spat out with difficulty.

The priest had no time to answer, grabbed a focus wheel in each hand, held his breath, and carefully made the final fine-tunings. The strange aroma is flickering and flickering, thick and faint, and difficult to fathom. Judging from my experience, the poison that caused the three people to go limp was mixed with a variety of herbs from Nepal, and it only had a strong anesthetic effect, but it was not fatal.

"I can't see anything. The priest watched intently for five minutes, and finally gave up the telescope, turned around in frustration, and faced Charlotte and Chagai, "The sky, the clouds, and the cosmic dust are all changing rapidly, but I can't see the shadow of the gods, nothing. Maybe we should recalculate the time of the Celestials' coming, and then compare the last words in the blood book to see if the 'Sea of Gold' will be restarted in this hundred years?"

He took a long breath, took a step towards Shagai, took another breath, and took another step. is also poisoned, his internal strength is deep, and he can naturally support it for a long time.

After Shagai and the priest broke in, they did not close the door of the study. A cold wind blew, and a woman wearing gray sunglasses suddenly appeared in the doorway. She paused for only a few seconds, quickly saw everything in the room, and immediately strode towards the binoculars.

"Stop...... She ...... "Charlotte gave the order with difficulty.

The closest to the telescope was the priest, and he also wisely turned back and stepped back, ready to block the uninvited guest, but the other party waved his left hand, and a mysterious purple light and shadow flew up, shaking on the priest's chest, and with a bang, the priest's body flew eight meters upside down, slammed into the wall vigorously, and then landed face down, spurting a large mouthful of blood from his mouth.

No one could stop the woman from touching the telescope, and like a priest, she leaned over to observe, gazing through the telescope into the vastness of space.

"It's finally here. She said this to herself in Nepali, and I have been on many missions in the Himalayas, so I have a little knowledge of the local minority languages and can understand relatively simple sentences.

"Who—the offspring of the Pirate King?" she asked, turning aloud in English, as her gaze fell on Charlotte.
