3Where is the Sea of Gold?

The second call came in when I started my second drink, and as soon as I picked it up, a shrill and weird laugh rang out: "Hawk, guess who I am, guess who I'm with, guess where I am?" hahaha......

At the same time, the unbridled laughter of the dancers, the shouts of changing glasses, and the shrill and rough whistles came from the earpiece, which was extremely chaotic.

"Don't guess, you're a star, and now in an Arab nightclub, who are you withβ€”who else but your hacker friend Cai Xiaofo?" I answered his questions without pause.

"King of Thieves" Sikong Xingxing, super hacker "Buddha" Cai Xiaofo has always been an inseparable friend, like to get into trouble together, flee together, engage in all kinds of bizarre tricks together, and go to nightclubs together and even like the same dancing girl together. Although they have different names, surnames, and fathers and mothers, they smell the same like twins.

"Hawk, I knew that nothing could escape your reasoning. In this way, we found something very interesting, and invited you to join us, okay?" Sikong Xingxing lowered his voice, but the phone was immediately snatched by another person, and it was the same shrill laughter-

"Eagle, that incident is what I discovered, it is related to the 'Sea of Gold', do you want to play? Hehe, last time I volunteered to be a model in the Royal Wax Museum in London and was turned away, this time, let's get thousands of tons of gold out, open a gold statue museum by ourselves, and do whoever you want, how about it?"

That's Cai Xiaofo, a genius weirdo who doesn't go to school well but has no knowledge of the hacker industry.

My answer was just two simple words: "Very good." ”

These two people only mess around, and they have never done a serious good thing, and whoever helps them and approaches them will definitely be implicated, without exception.

The laughter of the two men stopped at the same time, and only the laughter of the dancers remained in the microphone.

I frowned, "What's wrong? Did I say something wrong?"

If it was in normal times, I only need to praise "good", and the two of them would have already danced and cheered, but this time it is very different.

After half a minute, Sikong picked up the stars and sighed: "Buddha, I knew that the eagle would say that." ”

Cai Xiaofo sighed: "I know it too, and I knew it long before you said you were going to tell Ying." ”

Sikong Xingxing was furious: "What? You know that Eagle will say that, and you want me to call him?"

Cai Xiaofo also roared: "Of course, who else will you tell if you don't tell Ying about such a good thing?"

The two of them regarded me on the other end of the phone as a transparent person, and they only cared about their own quarrels, and they forgot to continue talking. Someone in the corner drunkenly shouted: "Listen, there are two fools talking about the 'Sea of Gold'! Haha, fools, what fools, how can so many oriental fools still believe in these old topics?

There was a "tom" sound from the microphone, followed by the man's extreme screams. He said that others are stupid, but he is really stupid to the point of home, Sikong Xingxing's "Dividing Muscles and Wrong Bones", Cai Xiaofo's "Spring Breeze Finger" all belong to the superior martial arts that kill people without seeing blood, even if they only practice two or three percent of their skills, it is enough to make an ordinary person die and come back to life.

When the noise on the microphone side ended, Sikong Xingxing's voice reappeared: "Eagle, can we go over to you now?" Is it room 1808 of the Moonlight Hotel?"

I heard the shrill siren, and I could only reply with a wry smile: "Okay, I'll wait for you, but before the police want to arrest you, remember to report Officer Miz's name, and then say that you are friends with Chen Ying." Remember, don't hit the police, in that case, I'll have to go to jail to rescue you. ”

The phone hung up in a hurry, I really admired these two living treasures to home, it was obviously a very simple little thing, but it immediately became earth-shattering as soon as it was in their hands, and most of the time it was not until the police came forward to clear the scene.

Regarding the topic of the "Sea of Gold", this is the sixth time that the two of them have mentioned it, and of course, the first five times were all false alarms and ended without a problem. No way, they are all children who have not grown up, they belong to what psychologists call "deformed geniuses", and their personalities are full of unsound factors, so they will get into trouble step by step.

I called the front desk and ordered a hearty late night snack and a whole case of Budweiser. Both men love the beer, calling it their "source of inspiration", and based on the amount of beer they consume each year, it is enough for Budweiser's platinum VIP customers.

At one o'clock in the morning, the doorbell of the room rang hard, accompanied by the sound of a deep and shallow kick in the door. No one but them can turn the simple act of "knocking on the door" into a violent game, and I sometimes really suspect that the two people suffer from severe "childhood mania" and have endless violent tendencies in their bodies.

I opened the door, and two young men in shabby denim suits jumped in, and without even shaking hands, they went straight to the restaurant. When I passed by the living room, I casually threw the broken denim backpack on my shoulder on the expensive Italian leather sofa in the hotel, and I was still a transparent person.

Cairo is the most important cosmopolitan city in North Africa, and its nightlife is similar to that of Hong Kong Island, which can also be called the "city that never sleeps".

I turned on the TV and went to an international news channel, which was showing a set of pictures of anti-terrorist marches around the world.

"Eagle, is there any result of Leng Xin's matter?" Sikong Xingxing finally remembered me.

I shook my head, "No." ”

"Do you want me to go into the databases of the Egyptian Ministry of Justice and the Ministry of Defense? I know that the military and police know everything about the distribution of terrorist groups in the desert, but they don't have time to clean them up. In my opinion, these guys can't become a big thing at all, they are definitely not as good as the ancestors of China, how can they allow others to sleep soundly on the side of the couch? According to me, send a few armored divisions into the desert, shoot and bombard, and within a few rounds, all the **** will fall, isn't it refreshing?" Every time Cai Xiaofo speaks, he is full of thousands of words, and he digresses for thousands of miles.

When their faces turned to me, their eyebrows, foreheads, and mouths were swollen.

I grimaced and asked, "Are you beating the police again?" I just told you again, why are you-"

Sikong Xingxing shouted aggrievedly: "Of course, how can we not listen to what you say, but the first to break in are plainclothes policemen, what do you let us do?"

I was so angry that I laughed angrily: "Aren't plainclothes policemen also policemen?"

For them, it seems that there is no such thing as discipline, law, or rule in the world, and even if they suffer a hundred losses in the same incident, they will still make the one hundred and one mistakes.

Cai Xiaofo was nibbling on a fried lamb chop, and threw it back to the plate with a snap: "Sikong, I said earlier, although the eagle is the dragon and phoenix among people, what the ancients said is good, and the bird's ambition is good?"

He stood up proudly, took out two or three tissues and wiped his mouth indiscriminately, his expression becoming very serious.

Long-term stay up late and malnutrition caused him to have puffy eyelids, a sallow complexion, and his body was not fully developed, looking thin and delicate. In this regard, Sikong Xingxing is exactly the same as him. The only difference is that Sikong Xingxing is a few centimeters taller than him, and the fur on his lips is slightly thicker.

"Wrong, the eagle is the dragon and phoenix among people, so it can't be the bird. If you compare him to a dragon and a phoenix, what about us? Aren't we dragons and phoenixes among dragons? Buddha, you like to make random analogies, which is not good. Sikong Xingxing also stood up, burped contentedly, and staggered to the living room.

"Eagle, I know that you are slandering us again in your heart, and this time the news of the 'Sea of Gold' is absolutely true, absolutely true, because I cracked Li Tian's top-secret memo. He had been to the 'sea of gold' and had touched the mountains of gold nuggets with his own hands, and we only had to follow the route he had to go down into the desert to find it without accident. ”

The two of them alternated and didn't give me any chance to interject.

I frowned as they spoke illogically, feeling that it was another copy of the "treasure map story", but the name "Li Tian" appealed to me. After thinking for a while, I suddenly raised my hand and interrupted Cai Xiaofo's talking: "Buddha, the 'Li Tian' you are talking about, but a person with the code name 'Snow Plow'?"

Cai Xiaofo was stunned: "Yes, Ying, do you know him?"

Sikong Xingxing suddenly laughed: "Buddha, do you have water in your brain? I don't want to think about what department Ying used to work in, he knows more people than you have eaten rice, don't you even know the famous 'snow plow'?"

Every time he laughed, his small eyes and single eyelids shrank into two crescent-shaped arcs, and he fell into a temporary state of "blindness with his eyes closed", and the small freckles on the bridge of his nose suddenly coalesced together to become a small map of strange situations.

Cai Xiaofo's eyes widened in displeasure: "According to what you said, the president of the United States has to know all the voters? The managers of the Navy SEALs have to know all the team members? Or if you are a thief, you have to know all the thieves in the world?"

He likes to talk about things the most, he doesn't get to the point, and he belongs to the role of being unreasonable and relying on three points. The only waking hours in his life were when he sat in front of a computer.

I raised my voice: "Hey, you two sit down honestly and tell the story in detail, whoever tells the story well will be rewarded!"

Time passed quickly, and it wasn't dawn in a few hours, and I didn't want to linger with them.

Cai Xiaofo laughed strangely again: "Eagle, what reward can you offer? What we have found is the 'Sea of Gold', the largest and most mysterious treasure on the earth, more than the treasure of the 'Desert Fox' Rommel, Hitler's hidden gold, Saddam's legacy, and so on. I can't think of anything else you can come up with that appeals to me?"

I stretched out my right index finger: "How about a set of acupoint techniques that can increase your keystroke speed by ten times?"

Cai Xiaofo's gaze was fixed on my fingertips, like a greedy monkey seeing a handful of hot sugar-fried chestnuts, and after a few seconds, he said in a sleepwalking-like voice: "Raise ...... Ten times over? Is it possible? Is it possible?"

For a super hacker, when the brain power is developed to the limit, the speed of keystrokes cannot keep up with the change of mind in any way, so improving the speed of keystrokes is almost their ultimate pursuit.

Sikong Xingxing laughed: "What the eagle said, when did he break his promise." I'll give you this opportunity, but how about the Kailin we just met belongs to me?"

Cai Xiaofo replied without blinking his eyes: "Okay, whatever Kailin, Luo Lian, and Fendi belong to you, I only need that set of martial arts ......"

Listening to those names, it should be the dancing girl in the ** nightclub, I have no right to say anything about other people's private lives, but I really hope that two talented young people with superpowers will get rid of the temptation of lust and return to the right path.

"Eagle, it all started when I recently hacked the private computers of mid-level officers in the 'Fifty-One' area. The reason why I want to do this boring thing is to find the information of two young female hackers-"

After only saying these few words, Sikong Xingxing snorted fiercely, and made a gesture to speak.

I stopped him in time and motioned for Cai Xiaofo to continue.

"Those two girls are from Longtang and have been conducting information system spying activities in the '51st' area for a long time, so I suspect that their whereabouts have long attracted the attention of the other party, but their danger has not yet reached the level 1 warning that needs to be reported quickly. In this case, the grey list can often be found on the computers of mid-level surveillance officials. As a result, I found a very strange hidden file in the 'snowplow's private file, with only a date number and no other features. Normally, in this form, there will be digital information such as bank passwords in it, but this time, I used a normal decryption dictionary to hit a wall in a row, and I couldn't open it. ”

When Cai Xiaofo recounted the work process of these professions, a happy smile appeared on his face, like a spring breeze.

He mentions the name "Longtang", the most powerful underworld group in the Chinese world, which has been the leader of the eight forces for 60 years since the dissolution of the "Green Gang" in Shanghai, China. The power of Longtang has reached the cabinet of political parties, the high-level officials of Washington, and the nine streams and three religions, long streets and short alleys, and it can even be said that as long as there are Chinese cities, there will be tentacles of Longtang.

I can't help but worry about Cai Xiaofo again, I can't get along with Longtang, and my life will be in danger at any time.

"Hmph, those two people are not hackers, but killers. I see that you are fascinated by their beauty, Buddha, be sober, they are killers! female killers!"

"Yes, they're killers, but they're pretty killers. Sikong, think about it, if we get the sea of gold first, and then gather these two beauties around us, wouldn't it be the most perfect state of life?" Cai Xiaofo tried his best to defend himself, staring at Sikong with round eyes.

"Don't forget the words of the old ancestor, there is a knife on the head of the color word-"

"Haha, Sikong, think about another sentence, the peony flower dies, and the ghost is also romantic. Do you remember the 'Sakura Sword' that you stole last time at the Black Dragon Resort, Mt. Fuji, Japan? Japanese texts say that a person killed by that knife will appear at the moment of death, and will sit bare-chested and breast-bared among the colorful flowers. In fact, I think that a man's life can leave the world with such an ending, isn't it a kind of ecstasy and blissful enjoyment?"

Cai Xiaofo's expression was very strange, grabbed the bag on the sofa, fumbled out an electronic notepad, and showed it to me after pressing it a few times: "Eagle, look at these two girls, aren't they beautiful?"

I only glanced at it, and couldn't help but exclaim in a low voice: "Buddha, do you dare to touch them, do you think your life is long?"

The two girls in the picture are both black-haired shawls, with skin like snow, and wide-rimmed sunglasses on the bridge of their noses. One of them held a silver pistol and aimed it in front of the left, while the other followed with a miniature submachine gun and followed with ease. This photo first appeared on the front page of Japan's Asahi Shimbun on February 14, and I remember that the headline at that time was quite bloody, as if it was "Ryudo challenges the territory of the Yamaguchi-gumi, and the underworld forces dump and enact the bloody ** human festival again".

They robbed a commercial bank with a Yamaguchi-gumi background in Osaka City, killed 25 people in half an hour, and then left in a red Ferrari with a bag of diamond jewelry.

"Twin Killers" is their name, according to the information transmitted by some police informants, they are the goddaughters of Longtang's boss "Immortal Dragon" Long Puyu, ranked after the "Thirteen Taibao" under Long Puyu, and are respected as the fourteenth sister and fifteenth sister by Longtang's disciples.

"They're beautiful, but they're not to the point where men are willing to die for them. I smiled faintly.

Cai Xiaofo closed the lid of the notebook and carefully put it back in the bag: "Ying, you haven't seen them with your own eyes, how can you make a comment?"

Unconsciously, I also digressed with him, and immediately turned back to the topic: "Buddha, you try to be as concise as possible, and explain the relationship between the 'Sea of Gold' and Li Tian clearly, otherwise the sky will be bright." ”

Hackers and thieves like late nights and early mornings, but I don't, and I have a lot of things to deal with tomorrow morning, especially going to Shevi's research institute.

"Well, I'll put it simply. The suspicious file on Li Tian's private computer was compiled using a 256-bit cipher, and it took me eleven minutes to unravel it. Inside is a simple map, and a vague self-description. The computer system in the '51' area had a strong download monitoring function, so I didn't dare to use any copy programs at that time, so I had to copy it letter by letter. Eagle, I will show you the record paper, and I will see it better for myself than to hear it retold by others. ”

He opened the bag again, scrambled through it, and pulled out an oily Nescafe cookie wrapper. The map and text are on the back of the wrapping paper, and the handwriting is very sloppy.

As a computer expert, his handwriting was formal enough, but it took me more than three minutes to make out the handwriting before I could re-decipher it.

I quickly read through the text, full of Li Tian's recollections, which roughly meant that he heard the mysterious summons of the pharaoh in a shaft dug very deep, and then walked down the mine, smashed a very thin wall, and immediately saw that his eyes were full of gold, and his mood was extremely shocking.

The text is very simple, but I think the other person must have been very excited when he typed this short paragraph. For earthlings, gold is one of the strangest substances, like a lit match, which can easily ignite the greed of human beings. Psychologists have done tests that when a normal person sees gold or the same amount of cash, the physiological reaction is completely different, and the difference is about the same as seeing a naked beauty or an old woman picking up garbage.

The map with jumbled lines was like a book from the sky, and at the top lay an animal that looked like a cat, or a dog, or something.

"What's that?" I said, gesturing to something lying in a large stain of oil.

Cai Xiaofo narrowed his eyes and smiled: "You guess?"

I shook my head: "Buddha, I don't have time to guess, if you want to draw a sphinx, you might as well mark it with words." Now, whoever looks at it thinks you're drawing a leper cat. ”

The "Sea of Gold" is in the Egyptian desert, and the only animal landmark that can be seen in the desert is the Sphinx.

Sikong picked up the stars and high-fived: "That's right! Buddha, you have always underestimated the wisdom of the eagle, hurry up and say it quickly, if the time comes, we can also ask that girl to have supper before dawnβ€”β€”"

He is a thief and loves to steal anything challenging, including a girl's heart.

"Eagle, I saw the Sphinx, and then I thought of the legend of the 'Sea of Gold', and immediately decided that what Li Tian found was within the range of the Giza Heights. If you flip through the map, you will know that drawing a circle with the Sphinx as the center and a radius of 100 kilometers is enough to find the 'sea of gold'. Therefore, I discussed with Sikong and asked you to participate in this great event that shook the world. After the deed is done, half of it will be divided between you, and half will be shared with Sikong and me, is that interesting?"

I raised my eyebrows, and this kind of good thing that came to my door was like pie in the sky, completely beyond my expectations.

"Divide me in half?" I pushed away the musty piece of paper and leaned back, staring at Cai Xiaofo's face.

He suddenly became uncomfortable: "Half, yes. ”

The atmosphere in the living room instantly became solemn, and an invisible barrier appeared between the three of us. My watch is already pointing to four o'clock in the morning, and in three hours, the first rays of light will light up the city.

"I've got someone to talk about tomorrow morning, so I'll need to go sleep for a while, so you two can do your own thing. I stood up, stretched slowly, and drank the remnants of wine from my glass.

Cai Xiaofo was stunned: "Eagle, what we are talking about now is the most important, think about it, you can get half of the 'Sea of Gold', that will be a terrifying astronomical amount-"

I patted him on the shoulder: "Buddha, my most important task at the moment is to search for Leng Xin, and I am not interested in gold. ”

Leng Xin is indeed more important than gold, even if it is exchanged for all the gold on the earth, I will not hesitate to choose the former. Until now, I can still calmly stand here and chat with Sikong Xingxing and Cai Xiaofo, I deliberately ordered myself to do so, because only with the calmness of cold ice can I ensure that I don't make any mistakes, find useful clues in the myriad and intricacies, and find a way to rescue Leng Xin.
