20 Minutes My hands have begun to crack due to the dry wind in the desert. The veins are exposed and the joints are protruding. The two-centimeter-long scar between the ring finger and little finger is clearly visible. On my wrist, there is a rabbit from Japan.
The seconds are flying briskly on the double lion gold watch, and the surface of the dial is filled with twenty-four fine diamonds and crystal stones that are shining at the same time.
The watch was a birthday gift given to me by a Japanese girl in college. If I remember correctly, her hometown should be Sakanone, Japan, the holy land of cherry blossoms.
Maybe in a few seconds, my hand and this watch will be weathered by the strange force, right? I stared at my hand without blinking, concentrating on feeling the changes that were about to happen.
"Do you feel pain when you are weathered? Or, it is not the effect of rays, but some kind of bacteria with the ability to corrode at high speed——"
"Brother Feng, I know... something must have happened in the tomb. Let's retreat first. The military is mobilizing the most advanced chemical disinfection troops and will arrive at the camp in half an hour. Natura has ordered more troops to carry gold.
The manpower of the bricks will only wait for the gold bricks to be transported, and then immediately conduct a closed and comprehensive disinfection of the tomb..."
To me, this does not seem to be good news, because Tengjia is still at the bottom of the well and does not know whether he is alive or dead.
"Brother Feng, what are you doing? I'm worried about you-" Su Lun's voice was choked.
How can the current situation be explained clearly in a few sentences? I retracted my palm. It seemed that the mysterious power had no intention of harming me.
Facing the assistants who looked at each other in surprise, I dragged heavy steps back to the central tomb and had a brief consultation with Tina and Yelan. Comprehensive disinfection is the most feasible method at present, but are there any fatal prehistoric substances in the tomb?
Bacteria, it is better to prepare for the worst first. Since Tengjia has been in the square well for so long, we should continue to stay until we think of a perfect way to save her.
During the public report on Scalpel, Natura, I kept hearing Natura’s surprised screams. Although he sat in the position of the high priest, after all, he was only given certain privileges by the President of Egypt.
Ordinary earthlings, when hearing these incredible descriptions, will of course have the same surprised reaction as earthlings.
During the reporting process, I never heard the movement of the scalpel. I could only sigh: "Masters are indeed different!"
"Mr. Feng, in your opinion, is it possible to transport Dr. Tang's body to the camp intact? If this can be done, our Cairo Museum will..." Natura is worthy of being the right-hand man of the Egyptian president who rules the country.
, in such a strange environment, we are still considering national interests.
I smiled tiredly at Tina, took off the walkie-talkie, handed it to her, and let her explain this complicated issue.
At one o'clock in the morning, I finally rose to the ground again. I have walked back and forth four times to the more than 300 tomb chambers with the same shape in the tomb, and found nothing. If I have to give a reasonable explanation for Dr. Tang's experience, I
It can only be said that that mysterious power will only become "weathered" when it encounters human beings who can be manipulated.
Su Lun has suggested transporting a cow or a horse into the peculiar tomb to see if they will be weathered.
This is an interesting hypothesis, but it will have to wait until the tomb is fully disinfected before it can be implemented.
The place where she met Su Lun was on the watchtower in the center of the camp. On the tripod in front of her, there was a 200-fold ultra-large-diameter military telescope installed, and the lens was pointed directly at the top of the Tucrack Pyramid to the west.
"They are still there." Su Lun got straight to the point, omitting all the red tape about the love between children.
I glanced into the camera a few times, and it was indeed as she described before. Elder Sahan was sitting cross-legged, head held high, looking towards the Pyramid of Khufu due north. Youlian stood with her shoulders hunched and her hands down.
Behind Sahan, I could only see their profile, just like looking at a flat static painting.
Their sit-ins prove nothing at all. Assuming that the mysterious "weathering" power comes from them - I suddenly laughed, because too many assumptions will only interfere with people's thinking and consume a lot of brain cells, and will not help at all.
I muttered to myself: "Forget it, don't think too much about anything, don't ask too many questions, just let them go."
There was a black canvas folding chair next to the telescope. I stepped over and sat down. My whole body felt soft and tender, and I felt extremely tired and sleepy. My eyelids began to fight. The kind of ball Tina injected me with
The protein must have been added with some powerful sleeping and calming ingredients. Fortunately, I have a good physique and can sustain it until the weird events one after another end.
"Brother Feng, can I help you go down and have a rest?" Su Lun held up my arm and took the simple elevator down to the ground.
When the bright beam of searchlight swept across the tent where Tang Xin lived, I suddenly found that Tang Xin and the other three were not sleeping at all, standing straight at the door of the tent.
I struggled to push Su Lun away and cheered up: "Su Lun, I need to talk to Tang Xin, now!"
Since Tang Xin believes that there is a "Millennium Corpse Worm" hidden inside the Tucrakhan Pyramid, where did she get the news? At least, she should know the location and method of obtaining the "Millennium Corpse Worm". Even if it is the slightest bit of external use
Information will also be helpful in solving these confusing mysteries.
"You're here -" When I was still ten steps away from the three people, Tang Xin grinned. The light of the searchlight had already passed by, and in the darkness, her teeth were so white that it made my heart palpitate.
"I know you have a lot of questions to ask me, but you should know that not every question in the world has an answer, right? That's why human beings can imagine heaven, immortals, gods, ghosts, monsters, and even more...
There are aliens... Mr. Feng, I really want to help you solve the confusion in your heart, but unfortunately I don't have the ability." Before I could ask a question, Tang Xin had already sealed her mouth.
The night wind was very cold, and I remembered that I had suffered from acute malaria, and suddenly said: "I know your secret, Miss Tang -" At the same time, my eyes were focused on her left sleeve, where the silver was hidden.
Snake Xiaobai's place.
"Oh? Secret?" She was unmoved. Tiger and Song Jiu were as still as clay bodies in the temple, their eyes looking straight ahead, completely ignoring my existence.
"What did you put in my body? A poisonous insect or a monster?" I was just deceiving her. When she was treating my injuries before, Su Lun was not allowed to install a camera device. I felt that she must be performing some kind of action secretly.
"Hahahaha..." She looked up to the sky and laughed.
In the desert night, the starry sky was cold and high, and I followed her movements and raised my head to look at the sky.
Unexpectedly, I remembered that in the underground research institute of Scalpel Villa, I had seen that the top of the stone room where Elder Sahan lived was filled with stars arranged according to the direction of the sky - "Those things are in
Did it exist before Elder Sahan moved in? Or was it added at his instruction after moving in?"
This question is very simple, as long as you ask the scalpel, you will know.
"Nothing!" Tang Xin answered simply and resolutely. At the same time, she raised her right hand, shook it in front of my face, and added disdainfully: "If I want to do something, even if I do it now, no one can stop me.
If you can live with it, why secretly spread the poison? Mr. Feng, if it comes to secrets, I am very interested in talking to you about your roots..."
In front of her, I had no offensive weapons to rely on, so I could only retreat in order to advance: "Miss Tang, I practice Northern Taoist internal skills. I know everything you have done. Now, we can talk about it.
The problem of the 'Millennium Corpse Worm' is over, because I have—"
I deliberately stopped at the critical moment and observed her reaction calmly. Unexpectedly, her smile became even brighter: "Mr. Feng, I find that you are getting more and more humorous! The sky does not shake, the earth does not move, and the well does not move."
Before the death, the 'Millennium Corpse Worm' will not appear. If we don't speculate, we'd better talk another day. However, if you need my help, come to me at any time."
She fluttered her sleeves and smiled, about to go back to the tent, but suddenly turned around and smiled again: "Thank you for listening to me and not using an open fire in the tomb."
Indeed, there was once an opportunity where I might have used matches or lighters, that is when I asked Bawan for cigarettes. Fortunately, he did not smoke at all.
"What if I use an open flame?" I asked.
Tang Xin stopped, raised her hand and touched her temples gently, and spit out four words: "Both the jade and the stone will perish."
"What do you know, Tang——" before I could call again, she had already opened the door curtain and entered the tent.
"Both the jade and the stone will perish?" This most common idiom in Chinese now sounds like it has some mysterious warning meaning. Because at the bottom of the well 180 meters away, Tengjia was placed in a jade coffin.
, could “burning together with jade and stone” refer to this jade coffin?
What did Tang Xin know? Through the door curtain, I felt an impulse and wanted to chase in and ask what happened. However, Tiger and Song Jiu were side by side in front of the tent. If they forced their way in, we would definitely go to war with each other. Compared with Song Jiu,
Jiu's soft sword, Tiger's two skills of "Strong Monument Opener" and "Tianya Jade Belt" that he was best at in the past made me even more afraid. When I joined forces with him to defend against enemies, he was my most reliable safety barrier. Once we turned against each other,
This has become my biggest concern.
I was so exhausted that I didn't think I could survive the challenge of the two of them joining forces.
I raised my voice and shouted into the tent: "Ms. Tang, what do you know about the Tucrakhan Pyramid - please tell me, maybe we can become allies!" I didn't dare to say that I became "friends" with her.
She is a girl who is poison, venom, venomous insect, and poisonous snake. Who would be willing to treat her as a friend? We should just be strategic allies. When the cooperation ends, we will be separated. It is best for no one to see the other again.
The lights in the tent suddenly went out, which was of course an unmistakable order to expel guests, but Tang Xin's voice came out softly again: "If you want to know the secrets of the tower, why not read the "Blue Falling Yellow Spring Sutra"?
Many of the rumors spread by lies are completely different from the truth and cannot be believed."
After these words, there was silence in the tent, and no sound was heard again.
