In fact, Dubai is not a city. It is strictly defined in the United Arab Emirates and is one of the seven emirates. However, from the outside world, Dubai is just a city, the richest city in the world.
When you come to Dubai, the first thing that makes you dizzy is the dazzling array of all kinds of luxury cars. Everything you can think of is here. The men and women on the street have all kinds of luxury brands in their hands. Some rich people from China come here.
Here, everyone feels like they have become poor.
However, in a city where materialism is prosperous, for people like Canglong who don't even care about money, they are nothing more than bones and smoke in the world.
After Wang Xiaojie was spanked a few times by Canglong, she still had some resentment in her heart, but it was just resentment. On the contrary, there was still a sense of enjoyment in her heart. She had an intoxicating appearance and a maid-like personality.
, so Cang Long suddenly understood why someone would dump Wang Xiaojie, a fair and beautiful person like her.
"You go do what you should do first, and I'll come find you when I'm done, okay?" Cang Long said with a smile in the car.
"What should I do?" Wang Xiaojie was confused for a while, and finally shook her head firmly, "You always said you would come to me, but in the end you never came to me."
"I will definitely come to you this time." Canglong affirmed.
"Really?" Wang Xiaojie still didn't believe it.
"Of course it's true. If I don't come, you can go to Dongning City No. 1 Middle School, where you will definitely find me." Canglong said.
"Okay, it's settled." Wang Xiaojie said, seeming a little worried, and stretched out her hand, "Let's pull the hook."
Canglong reluctantly reached out and hooked up with Wang Xiaojie. When she left, he gave Canglong a kiss and an address in Dubai.
"Go to the Burj Al Arab." Canglong said to the driver.
The driver nodded and looked at Canglong with some respect, because the full name of Burj Al Arab is Burj Al Arab Hotel, also called Burj Al Arab Hotel. It is a seven-star hotel. There are world-famous hotels in Dubai. The first one is Burj Al Arab.
A seven-star hotel, and the second one is the Emirates Palace Hotel, and this hotel is the only eight-star hotel in the world.
Most people who come to Dubai will stay in these two hotels, because most of the people who come to Dubai are very rich, and apart from luxury, there are few places of interest in Dubai, so here basically only consumption.
Or consumption, so Dubai is also known as a shopping paradise.
Unlike most emirates in the United Arab Emirates, Dubai's GDP does not rely on oil to grow. On the contrary, Dubai's oil GDP only accounts for 6% of the entire emirate of Dubai, and most of the rest relies on trade and tourism.
, so Dubai is also the economic and financial center of the Middle East. The wisdom of the Arabs is gathered here. Of course, some people say that this is wisdom accumulated with money.
But this is not the case in real Dubai. The existential crisis of desertification has made the crown princes of Dubai not only good at spending money, they are also planning for this oasis in the desert with great foresight, because they know very well that the oil will be exhausted.
Dubai's model has also inspired many Middle Eastern countries to learn from it. Even if there is no oil in Dubai in the future, tourism can still support the country's prosperity.
The original idea of the Burj Al Arab Hotel was proposed by the UAE Minister of Defense and Dubai Crown Prince Al Maktoum. He dreamed of giving Dubai a Sydney Opera House and an Eiffel Tower-like landmark. After hundreds of designers from around the world, the idea was put forward.
After thinking, coupled with the huge pockets of Dubai people and five years, a fantastic building was finally created.
The Burj Al Arab perfectly combines the strong Islamic style and extremely luxurious decoration with high-tech craftsmanship and building materials, giving people a dreamy feeling. Everyone who comes here can't help but marvel at the grandeur of this hotel. Likewise,
I am also amazed at the luxury of Dubai people.
The taxi queue entered the hotel, and a waiter came to greet him. Canglong came to the front desk and said a name, and then took out a card. So without any formalities, the waiter took Canglong to the door of a room on the tenth floor.
.
This is a room for permanent residence. Because Canglong once invested a small amount of money in the construction of the Burj Al Arab, this presidential suite facing the sea became his exclusive room. Of course, he got this room under another identity.
The UAE's internal police agency could not find out who owned the room.
In fact, such a room is not owned by Canglong alone. As long as he holds the card embroidered with peacock grass in Canglong's hand, anyone can stay in this room and enjoy the most luxurious service. No one will ask about the card.
There is no need to go through any formalities whether you are in person or not. The waiter here only recognizes the card and not the person.
What Canglong cares about is not the luxury in this presidential suite, but the hidden compartments installed secretly in the suite. He walked carefully to the wall, rotated a vase placed on the wall cabinet, and the entire wall opened like this.
A secret input device is revealed inside, which requires scanning pupils and fingerprints.
According to the procedure, Soryu entered the password, scanned his fingerprints and pupils, and then the door rotated open. All weapons appeared inside. Compared with Soryu's weapons arsenal in the American farm, most of the weapons here were not very lethal. The most common ones were
Uzi submachine guns are lightweight, compact and easy to use.
In a corner of the weapons warehouse, there was a password box. Canglong entered the password. After it opened automatically, a variety of knives appeared inside, most of which were only finger-sized and easy to carry.
Canglong put all the knives in his knife bag and tied them to his arms. Then he picked an m1911 pistol from the weapons arsenal and hid it, then turned around and prepared to leave the arsenal.
However, at the moment when the weapons depot was closed, Canglong suddenly couldn't help but turned around and walked back. He removed a shotgun from the weapon rack and opened a small hidden compartment. A small golden cylinder appeared inside, with a decorative appearance.
It was extremely delicate. He looked at it for a long time, and finally couldn't help but take it out, and then left the weapons room.
Canglong was sitting on the balcony, looking at the sea view. On the table next to him was an m1911 and the exquisite cryptex. The full name of this cipher is the Da Vinci cryptex.
It has a classical shape, contains Renaissance characteristics, is elegant in design, and has the wise style of Leonardo da Vinci. It is designed based on Leonardo da Vinci's manuscripts. There is a turntable outside Da Vinci's cryptex, which is a bit like the rules of a Rubik's Cube. The turntable
There are 26 letters on it, and there are as many as 11,881,376 possible combinations of passwords.
This kind of code cylinder contains a glass bottle filled with sulfuric acid, and inside it is placed the things that need to be placed. Once the code is forcibly opened, the bottle inside will break, and the things placed inside will be broken.
It will also be corroded by sulfuric acid.
This kind of cipher box was popular in the intelligence departments of various countries in the world. Even now, people still use it widely. However, the design difficulty and cost of such cipher boxes are also extremely expensive. They usually contain extremely confidential information. In this network,
In very unsafe times, important intelligence agents would have such a cryptex to pass on important information.
So far, no intelligence department in any country has cracked a cryptex without knowing the password after getting a strange cipher box, and all ended in failure.
Even a genius like King David was unfortunately helpless in the face of the cryptex. Although such a cryptex is safe, it is also extremely troublesome to pass on. Therefore, the general use of such ciphers contains the most important secrets.
Canglong was silent for a long time, seeming to be hesitating whether to open the cryptex. About a year ago, he put things into this cryptex and even forced himself to forget the password, but that password was deeply engraved in his mind like a person.
I can never forget it in my mind.
Ten minutes later, he picked up the cryptex and rotated it regularly. After more than a hundred tedious arrangements, the doctor finally opened the cryptex.
Inside was something that looked like a scroll. He put the cipher aside and opened the scroll. There were only a few long black hairs and a photo. The photo showed a woman. Looking at the person above, Canglong's hands couldn't help but move.
Stroking the cheek in the photo, all attention is focused on it.
At that moment, he seemed to have forgotten the whole world, and his memory seemed to have returned to a year ago, to the memory that made him conflicted.
When he met her, Canglong was just a cold-blooded killer. His principles were based on the difficulty of the task. He didn't kill ordinary people not because he felt pity. On the contrary, Canglong didn't kill ordinary people because he wanted to benefit himself.
The tasks increase in difficulty and provide challenges all the time.
A year ago, in his life, besides killing, he was killing. The only desire he could find in killing was to abnormally increase the difficulty of the task to an unimaginable level.
"You work in this world as if you would live forever, and you work in the next life as if you would die tomorrow." Canglong silently recited a sentence written in Arabic on the back of the photo.
This was the first time he saw the person in the photo and heard a sentence recited by her.
It is also a hadith in Islam. Canglong didn't know what this passage meant at first. Maybe it was because of the beauty of the woman in the photo, or maybe it was because of other reasons, but what touched his heart was the woman's voice, which penetrated his numbness.
At that moment, he felt that in addition to numbness, there were many inexplicable things in his heart, and these things were like a river bursting its banks, out of control.
What he wanted to see, or what he didn't want to see, appeared in front of him again at this moment. He was ready to escape, but he couldn't escape. It seemed that fate had arranged all this. He came back again, and came again.
Arriving in this country that was extremely unfamiliar to him.
However, there was a person here who inspired his soul...
