After spending some effort, they finally managed to drag Mr. Otto and Arria out of the quicksand.
Correspondingly, their weapons were confiscated, especially Mr. Otto. After witnessing his flying dagger skills, Claudia carefully pointed her gun at Arria and asked him to search Mr. Otto's body thoroughly, making sure that he didn't hide a deadly flying dagger in some strange place. Well, somewhere like his boots.
In the end, both of their hands were tied with nylon ropes used for climbing … After doing all this, Claudia seemed to relax a little.
"Why did you leave us behind?" Claudia looked at the two coldly. She had actually discussed this with Boss Luo before, but she wanted to know the real answer.
Probably people who aspired to become mathematicians had an unusual stubbornness in pursuing the answer.
Arria said with a depressed face, "Okay, I'll be honest … Mr. Otto and I actually wanted to cheat you, but we thought that it would be a burden to bring you along. We thought that our lives were more important than money, so we left with the supplies … I'm very ashamed. I abandoned you, but you still chose to save me! God, you're really an angel. Can you give me a chance to turn over a new leaf? I'll definitely repay you. No matter what difficulties we encounter, I'll definitely bring you out of this desert. "
Claudia looked like she didn't believe him at all. She fired a few shots at Arria's feet. Arria was so scared that he jumped up like an ant on a hot pan.
It was actually the first time she fired at someone's feet. The only time she touched a gun was in the shooting club. At this time, her heart couldn't help but beat fast, but she looked calm. Only her breathing was a little chaotic.
After taking a few deep breaths, Claudia looked at Boss Luo and showed a rather proud look. See, I guessed right, there is no magic lamp … You sous-chef!
Boss Luo just smiled, took some water from the supply bag, and gave it to Arria and Mr. Otto. Arria saw this and naturally thanked him.
Mr. Ao Tuo opened his eyes. He didn't seem to need much water … But his lips were dry and cracked. He opened his dry lips slightly, "We meet again."
This should be what Luoqiu said at the beginning, but he only responded now.
"Yes, we meet again, Mr. Ao Tuo," Boss Luo said patiently.
Mr. Ao Tuo thought for a while and suddenly said in a low voice, "You … should be an inhuman, right?"
Boss Luo asked calmly, "What is Inhuman?"
Mr. Ao Tuo said calmly, "What an inhuman can do is to become an inhuman … It doesn't have to be a creature with supernatural power in the legends. Those who have trained for a long time and have reached the limit of a human can also become an inhuman. Or, those who were different from ordinary people in certain aspects could also be called [Inhuman]. It's impossible for a normal person to be as calm as you are … You've been walking in the desert for a long time, but not only have you not broken a sweat, you haven't even lost your stamina or spirit. This isn't something a normal human can do. "
Boss Luo said calmly, "Mr. Ao Tuo, isn't your aura also good?"
"What are you guys talking about?" Claudia walked over with a frown. She was already dissatisfied with Luoqiu giving Arria water, and now seeing him feeding Ao Tuo water, her dissatisfaction increased. "These two, do they have to be so nice to them?"
Boss Luo smiled and said indifferently, "Student Claudia, western countries are not very particular about humanitarianism."
Claudia said calmly, "I've never liked the Scum Protection Law … I'm not going to talk about this with you. What do we do now? We saved them, what do we do now? Bring them with us? "
Luoqiu looked at Ao Tuo and Arria at the same time and asked calmly, "Guys, why are you walking in this direction?"
Arria opened his mouth and was about to say something … But Mr. Ao Tuo suddenly said, "There is an oasis in front. We planned to go there to replenish our supplies, but we didn't expect to encounter the Undercurrent."
"Serves you right!" Claudia sneered.
Mr. Ao Tuo pretended not to hear and continued to look at Boss Luo and said, "There is an ancient site hidden in the oasis. I see that you are also interested in ancient civilizations. Why don't you go and take a look yourself, maybe you will gain something … Or, you originally planned to enter the oasis. After all, we met again on this road."
At this moment, Claudia suddenly pulled Boss Luo aside and said in a low voice, "Do you believe these two guys? They are full of lies. "
Luoqiu remembered a famous saying, "The truth is also hidden in the lies."
Claudia frowned and said, "I'm not interested in talking in riddles here!"
Luoqiu smiled and said, "Our destination is the oasis, so is their destination … Also, Ao Tuo also knows about the ancient site hidden in the oasis — and your father's final research is very likely to be this ancient site. Perhaps, Ao Tuo also knows a lot about this ancient site. "
"This …" Claudia was stunned and then said helplessly, "But this Arria is a complete selfish bastard, and Ao Tuo is full of lies … We, we have to be careful!"
As she said that, Claudia stuffed her pistol into Luoqiu's hand — after confiscating Arria's equipment, this broken pistol that she looted from the underground pyramid was returned to her hand, and she herself changed to a semi-automatic rifle.
"If there's something wrong, shoot first!" Claudia said with a serious face, "Don't feel burdened. This is the desert, do you still remember those thugs? The lives here are worthless … Only in your own hands are they valuable! "
Boss Luo thought for a while and said, "Is this what your father taught you?"
"I know it myself." Claudia said indifferently, then shook her head, "You are a simple-minded person … Sometimes, if you are too good to others, they might not reciprocate!"
"I will remember your teachings, Miss Claudia," Boss Luo said in a low voice.
Her originally stern face softened for some reason … She was probably the typical type who could be persuaded by reason but not cowed by force.
But in fact, most of the time, girls would not have much resistance to men who listened to them — in important matters.
…
Later, the camel was successfully rescued from the quicksand. After experiencing many things one after another, Claudia seemed to have grown up by leaps and bounds.
At this time, she turned over and sat on the camel, looking quite valiant — she let Luoqiu sit on the other camel, while Arria and Mr. Ao Tuo were tied up with ropes and dragged behind the camel.
"How long will it take to reach the oasis from here?" She turned back and looked at Arria, her tone was not very friendly.
Arria was the type who could bow his head and adapt to circumstances. At this time, he said almost flatteringly, "Beautiful lady, the journey is not far, we will definitely reach before you turn into a jerk."
"Do you believe that I will use sand to block your mouth?" Claudia turned back and stared at Arria fiercely.
This desert guide was so scared that he immediately shrunk his neck … But whether he was really scared or not, it was unknown — it was as if they had returned to the prison in the pyramid. Claudia and Arria were constantly arguing, and Boss Luo was chatting with Mr. Ao Tuo.
"Mr. Ao Tuo, have you been to the ruins of the oasis before?"
"Once half a year ago," Mr. Ao Tuo said casually. Mr. Ao Tuo said casually, "At that time, I was exploring this ruin with another archeological team. Later, something happened and we disbanded."
"Half a year ago?" Luoqiu blinked.
At this time, Claudia suddenly looked at Boss Luo, but Luoqiu threw her a look to calm her down and asked her not to speak first … Claudia nodded slightly, but she was focused on listening to the conversation between the two, so she was not in the mood to continue to trouble Arria.
"I can prove that it is true!" Arria quickly said, "Half a year ago, I also led Mr. Ao Tuo and the archaeological team into the desert."
Luoqiu nodded and said, "Archaeological team … What kind of archaeological team is it?"
But Ao Tuo was thinking about the real direction of Luoqiu's question … What kind of archaeological team is it? He thought for a while and said slowly, "They are all ordinary people … Of course, they are all rare scholars in their own fields, and their knowledge is quite rich. But for the secrecy of this archaeological team, we did not reveal our original names, and only used code names. "
Luoqiu asked expressionlessly, "What is your code name?"
Ao Tuo looked deeply at Boss Luo, and then quickly said a name, "[Golden Pupil]."
For a moment, Claudia's breath suddenly quickened … But she remembered Boss Luo's reminder — this time was different from when they just left the pyramid, and she did not know why her trust in this new classmate seemed to be increasing incredibly.
She quietly took a deep breath, suppressed the impatience in her heart, and pretended that she did not care very much.
Luoqiu asked curiously, "[Golden Pupil]? Does it have any special meaning? "
Mr. Ao Tuo said indifferently, "If I say that I have seen most of the treasures in the world … and that I have a pair of eyes that can distinguish real treasures from fake ones, would you believe it?"
Luoqiu said indifferently, "It takes a very long time to see most of the treasures in the world … Mr. Ao Tuo, you have a lot of time."
"Maybe, more than you think." Mr. Ao Tuo said casually.
Luoqiu smiled and said, "Mr. Ao Tuo, I don't know if you can tell me about this ancient site and your exploration at that time."
Mr. Ao Tuo asked curiously, "Even if I tell you, would you believe it?"
"Whether we believe it or not is another matter." Boss Luo shook his head and said, "But at least it's better than not having any reference … right?"
"I don't know." Unexpectedly, Mr. Ao Tuo said this directly.
"Are you kidding? You don't know? " Claudia finally couldn't hold back and said angrily, "Do you believe that I will bury you in the sand again and let you be exposed to the sun?!"
"White girl, I can testify about this matter!" Arria quickly said, "Even if you bury us, I'm afraid that we can't tell you too much! In this situation, it's not that we don't want to cooperate, but we really don't have the ability to cooperate … There are some inexplicable things in that place! "
Claudia glared and directly raised the semi-automatic in her hand … Arria was so scared that he quickly hid behind Mr. Ao Tuo.
Mr. Ao Tuo didn't seem to be afraid, he looked straight at Claudia and said, "I lost my memory after entering the ancient site, so did Arria. Until now, I still can't find the reason why I lost my memory, maybe I can recover it in the future … But now, I really can't tell you, even if you shoot. "
"You think I don't dare?!" Claudia clenched her teeth and put her finger on the trigger.
Boss Luo said, "Those thugs may still be chasing us, the gunshot may attract them."
Claudia had no choice but to lower her hand in frustration, but she had nowhere to vent her anger. She could only hit the camel's body with the handle of her gun and muttered, "Only an idiot like you would listen to such nonsense!"
"You are the most reasonable one, yellow-skinned boy!" Arria glanced at Boss Luo gratefully.
But as soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly fell to the ground and ate a mouthful of sand — it was amazing that he could trip while walking — he seemed to have felt the malice from an unknown place again.
"You lost your memory," Boss Luo thought at this time and said, "Including the other members of the archaeological team, is it the same?"
Mr. Ao Tuo nodded and recalled, "In fact, the formation of this archaeological team is quite mysterious. We only know that there is a sponsor, but we have never seen the sponsor's face with our own eyes — but I have a feeling that this sponsor is actually in this archaeological team, he may have some other purpose."
"Later, we gathered in a nearby city, after getting to know each other, we set off directly. At that time, the guide was indeed Arria … Arria was recommended by me, because before that, I had cooperated with him a few times, so I know his ability."
"Very quickly, we found the ruins in the oasis that needed to be explored. At that time, actually, I didn't agree to enter the ruins immediately, because there were many valuable things in the periphery of the ruins that were worth studying. But there seemed to be a sudden rush in the team. After a vote, the minority wins over the majority, so we entered the ruins without being fully prepared. "
"Then, I completely lost all my memory after entering the ruins." Mr. Ao Tuo frowned at this time, "When I came to, I was already at the periphery of the ruins … What was even more unbelievable was that the core building of the ruins suddenly disappeared in front of our eyes."
