When he walked along the steps to the entrance of the robber's hole, Zhang Zian stopped to check the tickets. He quietly winked at the elfins, letting them slip in first.
“No bag！ No camera！”
The gatekeeper said as he checked the tickets.
Zhang Zian had traveled lightly today, and he only took a bottle of mineral water when he went out. He had already shared it with the elfins while waiting under the sun, so there was no suspicion of any contraband. As for cameras, they were now using their phones to take pictures. Not many people carried heavy and troublesome cameras with them.
The elfins had already slipped in. Zhang Zian looked back, and there was no one else behind him. He might be the last one, and the 300th person to enter the tower today.
As he walked in, the boulder above his head pressed down like a dark cloud. In fact, it was still a certain distance from his head, but he still instinctively bowed his head.
Everything went dark.
The strong sunlight outside formed a sharp contrast with the darkness inside the tunnel.
Although it was not so hot, the expected coolness did not come. It could be that the boulder absorbed the heat of the sun, making it an insulated box.
Although Egypt had imported German ventilation equipment into the pyramid, the air was still very stuffy.
This was a robber's hole. It was dark and narrow, and the light was blurred. He could only walk forward slowly.
The elfins were waiting for him here.
"No wonder Galaxy didn't want to come in. It's really uncomfortable here," Famous complained in a low voice.
If people felt stuffy, shorter animals like cats and dogs would feel even more stuffy.
Richard was glad to stand on Zhang Zian's shoulder. Although its night blind eyes made it almost unable to see anything, it was better than being a living air detector.
"Shh! Silence! "
Old Time Tea's ears and eyes were sharp, and it was very vigilant. It was keenly aware that someone was coming. The tunnel was so narrow that any small sound would be magnified. It would not be good if someone heard a dog barking in the tunnel.
There was a black shadow in front of him. Before Zhang Zian could see who it was, his body was hit hard. He staggered and took a step or two back.
“Sorry！”
A blonde Caucasian female tourist looked uneasy. She rubbed her sore shoulder and apologized in a low voice. Her other hand was on the wall of the cave, and her feet did not stop. She hurried past Zhang Zian, and the elfins stepped aside to make way for her.
What happened?
Why did they walk so fast in such poor lighting? Aren't you afraid of bumping into someone or falling?
Zhang Zian stared at her back in confusion. She walked out of the cave as if she was jogging, and only stopped when she was bathed in the strong sunlight, breathing heavily.
He recognized her from her clothes. She had entered the pyramid not long ago.
"What the f * ck! What the hell? " Vladimir was speechless because it had dodged left and right just now, but she still almost stepped on it. Because her steps were messy, there was no way to judge her walking route.
"Caw! Did this woman drink too much water and need to pee? "Richard murmured." If it's really urgent, we can solve it on the spot … "
Zhang Zian turned his head and glared at it, meaning that if it dared to kill it on the spot, he would sacrifice it here.
Anyone with a little common sense would know that it was not advisable to drink too much water while traveling, in case they couldn't find the toilet at the last minute. Moreover, it was so hot today that drinking water might not be able to make up for the loss of sweat.
Rather than saying that she needed to pee, it was more like she had encountered something … that made her nervous and uneasy, so she had left the pyramid early.
The elfins also felt that it was strange, but what could happen to a popular tourist attraction that couldn't even be brought in with a bag?
Zhang Zian couldn't help but think of the terrorist attacks and the curse of the pyramid that he had been worried about, but the situation didn't seem that serious.
If there was a terrorist attack, it would only happen in the downtown area. What was the use of a terrorist attack against the pyramid? Even if dozens of pounds of plastic explosives were thrown in, it might not be able to do anything to these ten-thousand-ton boulders.
As for the illusory curse, neither Zhang Zian nor the elfins believed it.
"Eeek."
Pi seemed to be infected by the tension, and its claws that were clutching the corner of Zhang Zian's clothes tightened. It didn't have good night vision like cats and dogs. Faced with the dark and dirty tunnel, it wanted to retreat and stay outside with Galaxy.
"Don't worry, there are lights in front." Zhang Zian gently patted its head and comforted it.
"I think the woman just now may also have a slight claustrophobia. She insisted on walking inside for a while, but her claustrophobia acted up, so she had to retreat halfway."
This statement was generally accepted by everyone. After all, the tunnel was dark and narrow. Even a normal person would feel depressed, as if a huge rock above their head could fall at any time. If a person with claustrophobia or other psychological disorders came in, the panic would definitely be more serious.
Pi nodded, a little more relieved.
The path dug by the grave robbers soon came to an end, and it was connected to the original passage in the pyramid.
There were lighting equipment and wooden planks installed by the Egyptian government to make it easier for tourists to enter. There was still enough light to illuminate everything around.
This was an uphill road with an inclination of 20 to 30 degrees, and both sides of the passage were made of huge granite slabs. These slabs were complete and strong, larger than the weathered and cracked boulders outside the pyramid.
As the rumors said, the stacking of the granite slabs was incredibly exquisite, and the gap between two slabs was almost impossible to insert a needle.
One of the mysteries of the ancient Egyptians building the pyramids was how these huge granite slabs were transported from Aswan, which was 500 miles away, and how were they cut so neatly? A knife cutting tofu was just like that.
After research, scientists gave an explanation, but it still could not convince everyone.
The top wall of the passage was about 20 meters high, and it was very magnificent. This was probably the passage that the pharaoh had left for his soul to ascend to heaven.
The granite slabs on both sides were complete, but if you looked closely, you could see that many of the slabs had been engraved with fine handwriting — of course, it was not the curse left by the pharaoh, but the words "so and so was here" carved in various languages.
Fina saw the handwriting left by these unscrupulous tourists, and suddenly pulled a long face. This was tantamount to blasphemy against the pharaoh.
Zhang Zian also secretly shook his head. The pyramid was the pharaoh's mausoleum. Was it a good thing to engrave one's name in the tomb?
Everything was possible in this world. Who dared to say that gods really did not exist? If the pharaoh was resurrected one day and saw these graffiti, he would really explode in anger and find the owners of these names one by one.
The strange thing was that so far, only the lady from before had walked out. Where were the others who had not yet come out?
