8The Strange Cave That Runs Through the Pyramid (Part I)
In the middle of our conversation, the pursuers had already arrived. According to rough estimates, there are more than 30 people on the other side, more than half of whom are armed with scimitars, and the rest are armed with two elite firearms, one long and one short.
"Hey, boy, our boss is talking to you, don't play tricks, bullets don't have eyes!" the little boss shouted again, he made several gestures in a row, and all the people lined up in two rings, one large and one small, to surround the hole where Tang Mei lived.
A man in a black trench coat strode over, his expression cold and arrogant, and he didn't pay any attention to me at all. He walked to the entrance of the cave, "snapped" and lit a powerful flashlight, a snow-white bright light shot at the top of Tang Mei's head, observed in silence for a few seconds, and then turned off the flashlight and slowly stood up.
"What do you see?" he asked, sneering.
"Didn't see anything. I replied in the same tone, but when the light shone down from behind Tang Mei, I felt that the round hole was unfathomable, like a deep well that had misremembered its size, all the way down to the inside of the pyramid.
"Mr. Chen, the Chinese often say, 'Under the roof of people, you have to bow your head', you see, I have more than a dozen guns and a dozen knives around you, can you change your attitude of speaking?" He is half a head taller than me, with a high chin, and his eyes are slanted, and he is arrogant.
I snorted, "If you can get my friend up, maybe I'll change my attitude and pay you a lot of money—"
He waved his hand: "Sorry, I don't care about money at all, those things are just bundles of useless waste paper to me." Mr. Chen, you will never understand what I want, so we will never have a chance to work together. ”
"Help me up...... Mr. Chen, there is a serious lack of oxygen below, please, hurry up and ......" Tang Mei couldn't help it, and made a very hard sound of inhaling loudly.
I also want to save her right away, but this is a hole with a big belly and a small mouth, and with the current diameter, even if Tang Mei can show her head, it will be difficult to get out of the trap below the shoulders. God knows how she got there, and what fascinating secrets were in the cave that was worth the risk?
"Mr. Chen, it seems that your friend has a lot of secrets to hide from us, why don't you tell them quickly, and let's figure out a way together?" The expression of the oriental face in front of him was gloomy and cold, and the nasolabial folds on both sides of the bridge of the nose were deep and wide, which showed that he was a ruthless character.
"I've got to get her out of the way and then I'll tell you what's the secret. I answered his questions cautiously, making sure that nothing leaked.
"No, let's talk about the secret first and then save people, here, I have the final say!" he raised his hand to brush away the hair that fell down from his forehead, and continued lightly, "Mr. Chen, it's best to tell your friends, if there is anything about the 'Sea of Gold', tell me obediently immediately, maybe you can change your life-"
He had a pair of vulture-like eyes, and his dark eyebrows were pressed against the upper edge of the eye sockets, naturally revealing a kind of red flame and murderous aura.
"Friend, I don't have any news about the 'Sea of Gold', and as for the one down there, it's too late to dig into her secrets if she can't get out of the predicament in a few minutes. ”
I smiled and held out my hand to him, and he froze for a moment before submissively placing the flashlight in my palm.
I naturally have no chance of winning against this group of people of unknown origin, but I always believe in the truth that "man will conquer heaven", as long as the appropriate solution is taken, supplemented by the attitude of doing my best, I will definitely be able to achieve my wish.
The flashlight lit up, and this time I could see clearly, the hole was dug in the middle of a large rock, and the cross-section was quite sharp, as if it had just been dug out by a core drill. The Pyramid of Khufu is a "miracle" structure on earth, and archaeologists have been searching for it for hundreds of years, and if there was such a deep well at the top of the tower, it would have been published in various academic magazines, but I swear I have never seen anything like it.
"That's down there...... What is it?" the man in black's fingers trembled, and his voice suddenly became unusually hoarse.
Looking down from the gap behind Tang Mei, the endless darkness was split into a white channel by the pillar of light, and the end of the pillar of light faintly reflected a golden shimmering luster. As a rough estimate, the reflective object was held at a depth of fifty meters downhole, and as I carefully turned the angle of the flashlight to further expand the search area, the astonishing golden light grew brighter and brighter, and spread to every corner of the pillar of light.
"That's, that's gold...... Gold, a sea of gold?" he couldn't help but stammer, but immediately raised his hand to cover his mouth, his face full of remorse.
In front of the pyramids in the Egyptian desert, as long as you have a little spirituality, your nerves will naturally tense and you will be extremely sensitive to words such as "gold and yellow light". I suspect that when he utters the phrase "sea of gold", his men will immediately lose their minds and become a bunch of madmen who don't want to die, just want money.
What happened in the cave, Tang Mei is the most aware of the know, as for whether those glittering places will be full of gold, just ask her to make it clear.
"Save people first, okay?" I looked up again, and the person standing across from me had returned to normal, with a gloomy smile on his face.
"Mr. Chen, of course people have to be saved, but now who can tell me what's under the well?" his hands hung down in his trouser pockets, and his ten fingers kept stretching and contracting, as if he was facing a great enemy.
"What do you say? Didn't you already have the answer just now? Now, I just save people and never get involved in the distribution of benefits, how about it?" I have always maintained a low-key and forbearant attitude.
"Ha-" he sneered sharply, frowning and asked, "Do I believe that, you say, especially when we face the 'Sea of Gold' together?"
Tang Mei struggled for a moment, and raised her neck hard and shouted upward: "Hey, that inexplicable friend, help me up, otherwise, I will expose your old bottom, no one wants to eat this bowl of rice-" can support for so long in a severely oxygen-deficient environment, and the martial arts of the Tang Sect in Shuzhong are definitely not blown out. It can be seen that Tang Mei's fame in the rivers and lakes is not due to luck, but to real strength.
The man in black was stunned, subconsciously raised his hand to touch the corner of his forehead, and at the same time stared at my face vigilantly: "Do you know me?"
There was a thick murderous aura in his eyes, like an incomparably sharp knife suddenly unsheathed, which made people shudder.
"Nope. I shook my head calmly.
"Are you sure?" he asked.
From the very beginning, I noticed that his facial expression was a little strange, due to the fact that he was wearing a very delicate human skin mask, and if it weren't for the fact that we were so close to each other during the second observation to the bottom of the well, his disguise would have almost been hidden from me.
"I'm sure my memory has never been good, and after tonight, I'll forget everything, including our meetings and conversations. "I don't want to make trouble, it's never a good thing to snoop on other people's secrets, if Tang Mei is not in danger, she will never threaten the other party with words like "exposing the truth".
"But, your friend knows me, and the best way to keep her a secret is to turn her into a dead man who keeps her shut forever—" His left cuff moved, and a black silent pistol slipped into his palm, then pointed down the well, and a series of movements flowed like a flurry of movements, and at the last word, the index finger had already pulled the trigger.
People in the rivers and lakes, life is like a mustard, death is easy, maybe Tang Mei had expected this day when she walked out of the Tang Gate in Shuzhong.
"Leave someone under the gun!" I said, "I took the lead and shoved my left index finger behind the trigger of the pistol, just blocking the sliding path of the trigger. With a snort, his right palm flipped up, and his palm glowed with black oil, slapping me in front of the door.
"Smack—" My right palm was raised at the same time, and I took his poisonous slap.
"I just want to save people and nothing else. Friend, I was hit by your black sand palm, and half of my life was lost, so let go of the people below, okay?" The other party's martial arts are quite powerful, my entire right arm is in a faint pain, and the palm is even more numb. In a foreign country, I don't know if I am lucky or unfortunate to meet such a master who is proficient in Chinese kung fu. However, in any case, I successfully stopped him from killing Tang Mei, and further clarified the identity of the other party.
