8 The military intervened. "Brother Feng, I'm really sorry. We were in a meeting all night. Things were too tense. It wasn't until just now that I realized you weren't in the guest room all night..." Her eyes were filled with thick bloodshot eyes and her face was pale.
It hasn't been groomed at all.
I sat on the sofa, and every bone in my body ached. On a desert night, the cold and damp air is very harmful to the human body. I just hope that there will be no root causes of disease. My performance last night was terrible.
, I couldn't help but blush a little thinking about it.
"Did the military get involved? What do they mean?" I asked bluntly.
The excavation work of the pyramid was frustrated. People from all walks of life were swarming in before the horoscope was even written. The situation seemed a bit ridiculous.
"The military didn't know where it got the news, saying that the Pyramid of Tulakhan contained mysterious weapons circulated in prehistoric times. Therefore, the Desert Corps of the Egyptian Defense Forces, headed by General Tainan, arbitrarily issued an ultimatum to all military personnel in Egypt.
The weapons are owned by the Egyptian military, and no one may hide or transfer them for any reason, otherwise they will be punished for the crime of surrendering to the enemy, treason, and the crime of endangering national security."
I couldn't help laughing: "Prehistoric? Weapons? Doesn't this coincide exactly with the Japanese Toshio Watanabe's conversation recording?"
I originally thought that only the Japanese would believe in myths and stories that were untrue, but I didn't expect that even the Egyptian military was mobilized by these absurd rumors.
Su Lun put out his cigarette in the ashtray, wrapped himself in a thick nightgown, and said unintentionally: "Regardless of whether there are any prehistoric weapons in the pyramid, the problem now is that General Tainan has sent people to join our team. Come on.
There is only one person, Lu Jiacan, you should know this name, right?"
My smile immediately froze on my cheeks, because Lu Jiacan’s name has already spread throughout the United States. He was re-elected as the chief security adviser and bodyguard leader of Presidents Bush and Clinton. He is a person who gives global terrorists a headache just thinking about him.
A palace-level anti-terrorist master.
"Previously I only knew that Lu Jiacan disappeared after President Clinton left office. Unexpectedly, he actually returned to Egypt?"
I have great admiration for this legendary mythical figure. It would be a great honor to work with him. However, the words of the scalpel made me feel like falling into an ice cave in an instant: "Feng, this time we can't do it."
It’s cooperation, but absolute competition, do you understand?”
He put his hands in his trouser pockets, just at the entrance to the terrace, his face as tired as Su Lun's.
"After the military intervened, according to General Tainan's usual behavior, he would monopolize all the benefits. There is no morality at all. Therefore, we must take covert precautions to ensure the smooth progress of the excavation work.
, and we cannot let the spoils of war fall into the hands of the military..."
After a short break, I, Scalpel, and Suellen got together again and started emergency consultations.
In fact, the three of us will form a tight body, excluding the Tang Sect in Central Sichuan, the military, and Elder Sahan. According to Scalpel’s vision, no matter what is in the Pyramid of Tuluhan, we will be the first
The people who own them. Now I understand that transferring the rights to excavate the pyramids is nothing more than a scalpel's trick of playing hard to get.
"I have been preparing for this excavation plan for four years. During this time, I asked Elder Sahan more than once to help with research. I just asked him for advice. The strange events in the tunnel are indeed caused by the phantom demon-"
I couldn't help but want to laugh again, because I always felt that it was really ridiculous for three 21st century tomb robbers to seriously discuss "phantom demons" here.
"What should we do? Can he subjugate demons? Or recite spells and draw talismans?" These things are necessary tricks for charlatans. For a moment, I thought of the weird and weird Sen, and a sudden change occurred on my face.
Be silent and stop talking.
"Yes, he is indeed going to the camp to conquer the phantom demon!"
Su Lun and I looked at each other and exchanged several glances. We are both highly educated atheists, and we don't seem to believe that a few spells or charms can have the magical effect of defeating all evil forces.
At this moment, we are in the study room of Scalpel. We are no longer drinking leisurely. There is a copy of the information about the Pyramid of Earth Cracking Khan in front of each of us.
At this point, the only thing that has been missed is the problem of the "Kirigakure Itto-ryu" killer that Su Lun encountered.
"Could they be Gu Ye's helpers? Where do they live in the vast desert? If they are both from Gu Ye, why don't they enter the camp together? Besides, Gu Ye knows that Su Lun is Scalpel's sister, so he dares to let him go
People besieged Su Lun?"
I pointed to the red phone on the corner of the table and raised my chin: "If you make a call, everything will be clear."
I have almost no expectations about the credibility of the Japanese.
The scalpel hesitated for a moment, then picked up a pencil and drew a few strokes on the desert map, thoughtfully: "Feng, do you know? Bancha's identity in Thailand is not just a tomb robbing expert, but also a tropical jungle expert.
Director of the Witchcraft Association. He seems to be impetuous and reckless, but in fact most of it is just an act. Could those ninja killers be his men?"
"You mean-" A burst of ecstasy passed through my heart.
"What I mean is that since Gu Ye and Ban Cha seem to be in harmony with each other, they might each bring a team of troops into the desert. What do you think?"
Su Lun and I applauded at the same time, admiring the wonderful idea of the scalpel. I had always ignored the existence of Bancha. Looking back, thinking about it, among the top 100 masters in the tomb robbing world, there is probably someone behind them.
It takes a whole team of entrepreneurial people, and it is absolutely impossible for one person to venture into the world alone.
From this point of view, alienating the relationship between Gu Ye and Bancha is the key to defeating them.
From the very beginning, I found it difficult to accept the conditions proposed by Tanano.
There are no more than a thousand relics of Atlantis in the world. Many data show that through the concatenation of these fragments, it is very possible to find the ruins of the ancient city in the sunken city. This is indeed an amazing thing.
It’s a fascinating event that makes people’s blood boil just thinking about it.
When I was in school, I once vowed that one day my achievements and fame would surpass that of my elder brother Yang Tian, and I would become the second "King of Tomb Robbers" on earth.
The sun has risen high, and the birds around the terrace have begun to sing again.
Last night, the three of us had a bad day. We yawned deeply almost at the same time, then looked at each other and laughed. The more we are under the pressure of adversity, the more often we should let ourselves smile to relieve some of the pressure.
"Mr. Scalpel——"
The scalpel waved his hand to intercept my words: "Call me brother, just like Su Lun! From now on, the three of us are an unbreakable unit. We will continue to pursue until... we find the 'King of Tomb Robbers'——"
It seems that he still stubbornly believes that his elder brother Yang Tian is alive?
The servant brought hot coffee. The aroma was so fragrant that it cheered me up.
"Today, I will contact Gu Ye and prepare to ask Master Sahan to go to the camp tunnel to crack the phantom demon, clear the obstacles, and enter the Pyramid of Tucrack Khan as soon as possible." Scalpel's words were very brief. He finished a large cup of coffee and stood up.
, twisted his waist and waved his arms vigorously, as if to drive away all the fatigue from his body.
I felt that Su Lun's corner of his eye kept glancing at the scalpel with some doubts.
"I'm going to make a call, and you two will study the next step after entering the camp. The most critical point is to ensure the safety of Elder Sahan. He is currently the only master with the ability to kill the 'Illusion Demon'."
The footsteps of the scalpel quickly faded away. I couldn't help but shrug my shoulders and shook my head with a smile: "Su Lun, do you believe in the incredible things like the 'Illusion Demon'?"
Su Lun wrapped his clothes again, buried his face in the coffee cup, and replied in a low voice, "Why don't you believe it? You know, everything in the world and any kind of legend are not groundless. For example, the current international
The most hotly discussed topics in the Paranormal Association are 'Time Counterflow' or 'The Shining'. More and more evidence shows that these two things are real -"
For a moment, I felt that she was helpless and sad.
"Brother Feng, have you noticed that there is something strange about my brother?" She lifted her hair from her forehead, her voice was melancholy and uneasy, and she did not raise her head, hiding her expression with the coffee cup.
"Weird?" I blinked. Ever since I came to Cairo and intervened in the transaction between Yan Ye and the scalpel, every day has been abnormal. In such a rapidly changing environment, the changes in anyone's thoughts are somewhat abnormal.
It's the most normal thing.
"Su Lun, what did you find?"
Su Lun fell into silence and huddled up.
There were gentle footsteps in the corridor, and another servant in white came in carrying a huge silver tray with hot milk and bread on it.
"Su Lun, eat something! Today, we will have a lot to do!" I stood on the terrace and blew out the turbid air in my chest towards the sun. The lush green plants beside the terrace exuded a touch of sweetness.
The fragrance makes people feel more energetic after smelling it.
In the yard in front of the main building, Elder Sahan was walking slowly on the grass, accompanied by Youlian. Youlian was still dragging that weird gray robe, looking like a bat and more like a ghost exposed to the sun. The side of the grass
The fountain shoots hundreds of fine, clear water droplets into the sky, turning into colorful rainbow shadows in the sunlight.
I noticed that there was a semi-old Mercedes-Benz sedan in front of the main building, parked inconspicuously next to a banana tree. There was a middle-aged man in a gray suit holding a rag and wiping the window glass. He
With his back to me, he was focused on wiping the car, his movements careful and brisk. But when I saw him for the first time, my nerves tightened, as if even my eyeballs were stinging.
"Su Lun, he is... the person who cleans the car, isn't he..."
With his back to me, I felt like a lurking giant South China tiger or a giant Nile crocodile. Every pore in his body was filled with immeasurable danger. Only a true master would reveal it naturally.
