bit stealing game

Chapter 38
But what about after the end?

Thutmose III left no answers.The priests followed him wordlessly to the west and disappeared into the depths of the desert.

"Wonderful." When the people from thousands of years ago walked away, Karl repeatedly praised: "But where are we going to find them? Are we going all the way west?"

Hearing what he said, I thought of the story of the Western Paradise to learn Buddhist scriptures inappropriately, and almost laughed out loud.He could only pretend to cough twice, and was glanced at by Meng Wei.

"Only those who are chosen can receive the message. Know the meaning of the gods." Hassan said, and glanced at us. "Since everyone is unwilling to offer sacrifices, we are the only ones who know now."

Subconsciously, I thought Hassan was lying.Even if Li Yuan didn't sacrifice, the magnetic field chose him.He has no choice.

And I have an ominous feeling.When the priests chanted, I was in a bad mood, and the feeling of immersion was so real.Don't let me be chosen too.

I quietly glanced at Li Yuan, this guy must have received more information.I made up my mind to ask him about it when I got back.

"It's nonsense, you just want to trick us into taking you to the desert." The orange-red hair of the person who spoke was like a flame, but it was a pity that it couldn't burn under the icy moonlight.

In this restored temple, there is not even a wind.

"Believe it or not. The full moon will only last for seven days. Before that, if you don't follow the regulations of the sacrifice, you can't open the treasure of the gods. The next time will be 60 years later."

As Hassan's words fell, the temple seemed overwhelmed, and the murals began to fade and peel off.Only the temple that swallowed up the traces of Thutmose III was left alone in the oasis, covered by the desert.

"White desert!" Jacqueline exclaimed.

We all look over.

Sure enough, following the direction Thutmose III and others left, there was a silver-white desert in the distance of the oasis.

Under the moonlight, the reliefs on the wall change with the light.The route of the priest and pharaoh was drawn on the map, as if we were really walking into the desert.

Although there is no basis for it, I think it should be mentioned in the temple of Horus, one of the two temples Thutmose III dedicated to the nameless god: the one guarded by Seth.

In the desert, watched over by Set, the god of deserts and storms.

As the colors fade away, stones fall to the ground, and the temple is left in ruins.There was no sound, and there was no splash of dust.Only the full moon was still hanging over everyone's heads, otherwise it would be as if nothing had happened.

Jiang Can shook the camera at us. "Only this ruined temple was photographed, and none of those were photographed just now."

No wonder the French would use rubbings to describe the zodiac signs in the Temple of Horus. Maybe this magnetic field also has an encryption function.

Now I have subconsciously attributed these unexplained things to magnetic fields.

The map spread by moonlight on the temple points to the desert west of the Valley of the Kings.But there is nothing in the desert to the west, except the ruins of the military camp of Thutmose III.Could it be that the temple guarded by Seth will be there?
Wait, the desert to the west of the Valley of the Kings... isn't that the Eastern Sahara Desert?I remembered what Xia Shangzhou said, the cover of this 279 operation is the [Eastern Sahara Desert Investment Investigation].

Did 279 always know the final destination?
In the silence, I only heard Hassan say: "When I was young, the old man at home sang a nursery rhyme. 'Go to the desert, find the bone of Seth, and return the full moon that I borrowed for 60 years'."

As he hummed, the moonlight above his head under this gentle tune was not only not soft, but rather threatening.

The faces of the people present were a little dignified.

These people must know something that I don't.But this is not news, so I don't bother to ask.

But obviously some people don't think it should be.

Alex could see that her team was keeping something from her, so he asked, "Morgan, what does he mean? You didn't tell me why you came here at night. And why did you ask us to come?" She was referring to several Scientists in the United Nations team. "Don't tell me that there are royal germs that have been dusty for many years in the Valley of the Kings and will spread."

Morgan, of course, didn't answer her question.

This Alex is somewhat interesting.Although I also want to ask clearly, there is no need to pursue it here.So I wanted to say something to break the silence, but I opened my mouth and sneezed.

I subconsciously said, "Sorry."

Alex also subconsciously said: "Bless you."

We both looked at each other.

The atmosphere was completely ruined by me.Under everyone's gaze, I rubbed my nose and muttered, "It's quite cold."

Hassan and the others wear much less clothes than us, and they can't hold on at this time.Leave a sentence: "I hope you will consider the matter of cooperation."

He didn't say how to get in touch after thinking about it, he should have figured out that these forces have their own methods.

Everyone watched these time-space-distorted priests dressed in moonlight walk out of time and space that did not belong to the present.Like believers a long time ago, they have gone through thousands of years and come towards faith.

If it weren't for these people who just tricked me, I might feel that history has never gone far.Now I just feel fine.Especially when they passed by me, that Socrates whispered to me: "It seems that you don't know anything, you'd better pay attention to yourself."

I frowned.When is it the turn of this blasphemy to speak of me.

But I have to admit that what he said is right, whether it is 279, Morgan Karl and others, or even Li Yuan.They kept a lot of things from me.

The sacrifices and the miracles brought by the full moon have faded, and the priests have also exited.

We walked out in silence.

If Sir Black hadn't told us to come to the Valley of the Kings today, we wouldn't be able to find the gate of the temple with our pig's heads.But after entering the temple and seeing the map, we have to think about what we will use as tribute when we find the real temple.After all, this is not a matter of carrying a pig's head.

The full moon is too heavy for this night.As the moon slowly sinks and gets closer, in addition to the beauty, there is also a sense of shock and oppression.

From the beginning of the new moon to the end of the full moon, the resurrection of the ancient Egyptian myth of Riosiris was also broken by this abrupt moon.The time in Egypt is not an absolute concept, but the moon came too hastily.

Li Yuan walked briskly, even though the full moon that would lead to transformation didn't seem to feel a sense of crisis at all.

I couldn't help but say, "Aren't you worried? I don't think there's anything wrong with the Egyptian curse."

Li Yuan said: "It's useless to worry. Even if it wasn't for me, I can't get away with it." He accepted this kind of crap well.I reckon it should be a habit.

"Then do you think your blood will react with the altar?" I asked in a low voice.

Li Yuan pondered for a while, as if he hadn't thought about this question, and seemed to be looking for an excuse to prevaricate me.

I'm not in a hurry, just keep going.After a while, he leaned towards me and said in a low voice, "I guess we'll find out in a while."

I frowned, not knowing why he said that.

At this time Li Yuan straightened up, and he went on to say: "My blood has not been developed for other purposes except to remind me that I am still alive."

I became curious: "Then can your blood repel mosquitoes? Or can it be used as an antidote?"

This time Li Yuan raised his eyebrows up and down, as if he was condemning me wordlessly.He also deliberately turned his face so that I could face his questioning eyebrows more directly.

I was a little embarrassed for a while, but I refused to lose the wind, so I said: "Who knows what's going on with you, what if you are an old monster who has lived for thousands of years. It is not impossible to call Pharaoh brothers and sisters before."

The two eyebrows fell back helplessly. "We met when we were young. Don't you know if I'm an old monster?" He naturally mentioned his childhood now.I don't know why, but the breath I had been holding since I first met Li Yuan in the Chicago house disappeared inexplicably.

I said, "I know you are a good socialist young man. You must work hard to build the motherland."

Li Yuan said solemnly: "Serve the people!"

That was the first time I felt Li Yuan winking happily at me inside Yin Yuechen's shell.

It's an amazing feeling to let things go.Li Yuan and I don't have any festivities, but we each have our own little jiujiu.Now that I'm overwhelmed, I decided to ask him what he knows as soon as I go back.

At this time, Teacher Bai called him from the front.Li Yuan blinked at me, and immediately followed obediently.

On the way back, I couldn't even see the birds. It was really silent. Even the swallows went back to the tomb and continued to sleep.For natural changes, animals may be more sensitive than us.Just as baboons beat their chests with joy when the sun rises, now this inexplicable moon makes the critters shy away.

I was so sleepy that I couldn't hold on anymore. There were only a few steps left, and I stumbled a bit.Fortunately, Ding Ze, who was walking behind me, helped me, so I didn't fall.Teacher Bai heard the noise and told us to pay attention to the safety of our feet and not sprain our feet.I nodded repeatedly, and then remembered that he couldn't see with his back turned to me, so I said, "Okay!"

Now He Rongchuan and Lou Shiqi both turned their heads.It may be that my complexion is not very good, He Rongchuan said with concern: "Comrade Wang, are you okay?"

Before I answered him, He Rongchuan continued: "I guess she was frightened. But it shouldn't be, why is your face whiter than when you were hijacked by the Egyptians just now?"

I couldn't help touching my face when he said it.

It can only be said that the adrenaline is amazing, in fact, I just think about it now and get scared.In all fairness, anyone who was dragged to the Valley of the Kings in the middle of the night and then taken to an unknown temple would be terrified to see Arabs in ancient Egyptian costumes. I think I have performed well.Who knew Egypt was such a dangerous place.

Lou Shiqi slowed down, and when I got to his side, he asked me, "Is it so cold?"

I squinted my eyes and looked at him: "It's not cold at all."

He said in surprise: "Really. Do you usually walk with such trembling legs?"

"If you have time to stare at me, you might as well close your mouth to keep warm. I can hear the sound of your upper and lower teeth knocking together."

Lou Shiqi immediately pursed his lips.

Meng Weiqing said in his head: "Follow closely, don't fall behind." I also heard him muttering that he is bullying honest children.

Soon the Egyptian sentry was approaching, and finally the sound of the wind and the occasional flapping of birds' wings began to be heard.I don't know if it's because of the cold or to avoid suspicion, but now there is no one on duty at the sentry post.

The United Nations team walked out of the valley before us, and Teacher Bai stopped in front, looking at the mountain of the Valley of the Kings seriously.

Lou Shiqi asked in a low voice, "What is he doing?"

He Rongchuan also whispered: "He is like this sometimes, maybe he saw something that we can't see."

Teacher Bai suddenly said without beginning or end: "As soon as the full moon appears, the stars will dim."

Before I could ask a question, he continued, "I thought the black stars meant that the stars were dimmed by the light of the full moon, but I didn't expect it to be such a scene where the stars and the full moon shine together."

Teacher Bai's tone sounded quite excited.Yes, what do the black stars refer to?
Now the stars are quite bright, and the only faint star seems to be Sirius α.

"Could it be that all the stars have to go out in the end?" I asked hesitantly.

The stars are gone, which doesn't really sound like an auspicious omen.

Teacher Bai shook his head. "Probably not. Maybe the curse refers to the real full moon."

A real full moon?
The curse is not exhaustive, what exactly it is, we can only take a step to see.

"People are closely connected with the stars. Maybe the stars will give us some guidance." When Teacher Bai had seen enough, he smiled at us and turned to follow Meng Weiqing who was waiting for him.

I couldn't help but look back and look back.I don't know what Teacher Bai saw just now, anyway, I only saw the pale full moon and the Valley of the Kings under the moonlight wearing sackcloth and filial piety.

Even the sudden full moon could not wake up here.

We walked to the car, Teacher Bai said: "It seems that those people will go to the underground [Temple of Omniscience] after we leave."

Meng Weiqing answered naturally: "I guess I also want to find out the so-called 'ancient blood'."

Li Yuan and I looked at each other unexpectedly.

Seeing our puzzled faces, Jiang Can smiled and said, "Mr. Bai can hear what they are saying."

I turned my head and looked at the United Nations team about a hundred meters away, and my eyes widened in surprise.Not to mention the wind howling ghosts and wolves in the valley, just this distance alone, let alone hear the content of the speech, it is considered powerful to be able to hear the voice.

But what Jiang Can said actually solved my doubts.

No wonder.In fact, starting from the Temple of Horus under the archaeological site, I have some doubts about Teacher Bai's perception.He has unusual memory and observation skills, and also seems to be able to see in the dark.

In the Temple of Horus, I had to rely on Li Yuan to help me illuminate the contents of the murals, but Teacher Bai could directly point out the incongruities in the murals.Including the rubbings of the Zodiac that Sir Blake showed us later and the underground [Temple of Omniscience], these are also the key issues that Mr. Bai discovered.If the ability of perception is naturally keen, but the ability of observation and logic is Mr. Bai's own ability, I can't help but secretly admire it.

But if Teacher Bai could hear it, then he probably heard it when I was taken away by Ali and the others just now.Thinking of this, I couldn't help but look at Teacher Bai.It happened to meet his gentle eyes.

I smiled at Teacher Bai, but didn't delve into whether these people are really sure that they can protect me or they don't care about my life or death.

Before leaving the Valley of the Kings, I looked at the night sky one last time.The full moon was cold and out of place.

Sure enough, it was a borrowed moon.I remembered the last nursery rhyme Hassan sang, a nursery rhyme I heard as a child.

It is not difficult to borrow and repay.It seems that we have to go into the desert guarded by Seth to repay this bad debt that has been credited by someone for 60 years.

But this borrowed moon.What do you want to pay back?
