But no matter what the origin of this Arria was, in Claudia's heart, there was an absurd wish … She even hoped that her father, Professor Xie Jiatu, would also come out from this huge stone gate.
Even if it was only half a year ago, it would be possible.
Claudia couldn't help but be shocked by her own thoughts. However, the sudden transformation of Otto and Arria into sand, as well as the reappearance of Otto and Arria from the door, was something that all the knowledge she had learned in the past twenty years couldn't explain.
"I … I want to go in and take a look!" Claudia, who was still hesitating and even had the thought of retreating, now looked at Boss Luo with a serious face and said, "I have a feeling … maybe we can find the truth inside."
"Aren't you afraid?"
Claudia nodded, then shook her head, "I am … but I want to know the truth more."
Boss Luo bent down and picked up the backpack with the magic lamp. This was Mr. Otto's backpack … the Mr. Otto who had turned into sand.
Luoqiu suddenly gave the backpack to Claudia.
"This is …" Claudia opened it and found that it was the old oil lamp she gave away before. She couldn't help but feel confused … She didn't know what this new classmate meant behind this action.
The boss blinked and said, "Maybe when there is danger, you can really summon a spirit."
"You!" Claudia rolled her eyes … The number of times she rolled her eyes in the past two days was probably more than the number of times she rolled her eyes in the past twenty years.
But she still silently put the backpack on … Although this idea was very absurd, she didn't know why, the more time they spent together, the more she found that she seemed to believe what Roland said more and more.
"You are going in?" Arria, who was picking fruits to eat, saw this and quickly ran back, "Don't you want to wait? Your father should be coming out soon, right? "
"He came out a long time ago." Claudia said casually, then ignored Arria and walked into the stone door with Luoqiu.
Arria was left outside, scratching his head. He didn't know why these people were so persistent to go in … He looked up at this huge temple and only felt an indescribable sense of oppression.
He sat on the ground, sitting on a pile of sand. He didn't know why he suddenly became sad, and tears flowed down uncontrollably.
"Damn … Damn it!"
…
Boss Luo was still holding the lamp that he took out from nowhere … Although the light source wasn't strong, it could unexpectedly shine far in the dark tunnel.
Silence, repetition, and a dark environment could easily cause one's mind to become tense … Some people said that as long as a normal person was imprisoned in a completely dark room for three days and three nights, it would be enough to cause a person's mind to be close to breaking down.
Claudia was vaguely irritated and subconsciously grabbed Luoqiu's arm. Boss Luo, who was already very good at controlling the 'Absolute Defense' mechanism, let Claudia grab his arm. Feeling the strength of Claudia's fingers, Boss Luo suddenly said, "If you see another version of yourself, what will you do?"
"Another version of myself?" Claudia couldn't help but be startled. But when she thought of Otto and Roland who had turned into sand and reappeared, she felt a chill down her spine, "Maybe … I will feel fear, and even have the thought that I might be an illusion?"
Boss Luo blinked and asked curiously, "Feel that you are the illusion? Generally speaking, shouldn't you think that the other person is the illusion? "
Claudia shrugged. "When I look in the mirror, I often feel like I'm fake … Maybe it's because my way of thinking is different from others, or maybe it's because of the greater psychological pressure … What about you? If it were you, how would you feel?"
"I don't think so." Luo Qiu said calmly.
Claudia opened her mouth and looked at Luoqiu with dissatisfaction, "How can it be like that? Only you can ask others, but others can't ask you? "
Boss Luo smiled and said indifferently, "Because this assumption won't be true, so I can't predict how I will react to this question when I know it won't be true … Just treat it as if I can't answer you."
"Rational?" Claudia frowned and sighed, "Speaking of which, you have always been very calm. You are a guy who is more rational than anyone else."
Boss Luo said with some yearning, "I also have moments when I'm not rational … I've been like that before."
Claudia only took it as the words of a mature person who had experienced a lot.
It was like an old man who had experienced the vicissitudes of life talking about his youth with a calm tone … She suddenly felt that Roland was very similar to Otto — the Otto who had turned into a pile of sand.
"If you want to find someone to talk to, I …"
Her words were quickly interrupted by Boss Luo … Boss Luo said casually, "We seem to have caught up with … the new Mr. Otto."
Claudia was startled and looked forward. Indeed, she could vaguely see a figure standing motionlessly … Judging from his clothes, it was indeed the new Mr. Otto from just now.
…
The place where Mr. Otto stood still was an entrance … There was a door. This was a cyan stone door which was one size smaller than the huge stone door outside. There were many inscriptions on the two doors. In addition, there was a huge scale engraved on the door … The pattern divided the two doors into two.
Mr. Otto was holding a notebook and recording the inscriptions on the door. He didn't seem to notice that someone had come behind him.
"What is written on it?"
Perhaps because she already knew the previous Otto, Claudia couldn't adapt to this Mr. Otto whom she didn't know at all. Therefore, her tone naturally became more casual, unlike that of a stranger.
"The evil of the world, the good of the world." Otto didn't care about Claudia's tone and said, "Behind the door, there is something to measure good and evil … It is a place of judgment. Sinners shouldn't enter."
"Sinners?" Claudia was stunned and just looked at the door in front of her.
There was no other passage here. It seemed that only by opening this door could they continue to go deeper. Although this door looked smaller than the huge stone door outside, its quality was obviously not something that ordinary people could push open.
Even eight or ten adults wouldn't have the strength to do so.
"Maybe there is some mechanism." Claudia thought for a while, "The mechanism that can open this door … Is there a groove here?"
She pointed at a spot below the left door. There was indeed a groove there, which looked like an eye.
Mr. Otto frowned at this time and said, "Legend has it that when Horus and Seth fought, Seth dug out his left eye. What is missing here seems to be Horus' left eye … This should be a shameful thing for the gods. This temple of Horus, the sun god, shouldn't use this kind of prop to open the door."
Boss Luo, who didn't know much about the ancient Egyptian civilization, asked curiously, "Who is Seth?"
Mr. Ao Tuo turned around to take a look, but did not pay any attention to him. He just kept looking at the inscription on the door.
Claudia came over and said softly, "Legend has it that Seth is Horus' uncle. There was an eighty-year-long battle between them. The ancient Egyptians believed that Seth was the god of the earth, in charge of the desert, storm, and war. He was the god of strength. On the contrary, Horus was the god of the sky. Simply put, Seth and Horus were enemies … But in fact, Seth was also the patron saint of the ancient pharaohs for a long time. "
Boss Luo nodded, then took out the eye pendant obtained from Otto who had turned into sand.
"You … Where did you get this thing?" Claudia couldn't help but be stunned.
Her voice made Mr. Otto look at her subconsciously … When he saw the pendant in Boss Luo's hand, Mr. Otto's expression changed slightly. He quickly walked over and reached out to take the necklace from Luoqiu's hand. After looking at it carefully, he asked the same question as Claudia.
"As far as the current situation is concerned, the important thing is not its origin, but whether it can open this door … right?" Luoqiu looked at Mr. Otto, who didn't wear any accessories at this time.
"Let me do it." Mr. Otto took a deep look at Luoqiu, then quickly walked to the left door and carefully put the eye pendant in his hand into the groove.
It was completely gentle … as if the eye pendant was originally a part of this door — When the pendant was completely inserted, the crack between it and the door disappeared, and it was completely integrated with the door!
At this time, a slight vibration began to come from below them … The door in front of them suddenly moved!
The two doors closed inwards in an instant, and a strong light shot out from inside. At the same time, a terrifying suction force appeared at this time, directly sucking Luoqiu, Claudia, and Mr. Otto directly into the door.
When the three of them were completely sucked into the huge blue stone door, the door directly closed.
…
…
She felt the moisture on her lips, and even gradually woke up in a trance … The moment she opened her eyes, a figure was in front of her.
She couldn't see the figure clearly, but her reaction was unusually quick … She immediately pushed the figure in front of her away, showing an extremely frightened expression.
"It's me, Claudia."
Boss Luo's voice … slowly went deep into her heart, and woke her up from some kind of fear — After waking up, Claudia was still sweating all over, and the hot air seemed to be able to roast her internal organs, making her feel uncomfortable.
"Where … where is this?"
She looked up at the surroundings … There were a lot of yellow buildings, and they were all not tall bungalows — at this time, she seemed to be in an alley between two bungalows, but even though there was shade, there wasn't the slightest feeling of coolness.
"It seems to be a city."
From Boss Luo's mouth, Claudia heard an answer that made her even more confused — What did he mean by 'seems to be a city'?
But soon, Claudia understood the true meaning of Boss Luo's words … She got up and walked out of the alley, and the originally quiet environment suddenly became unusually lively.
The streets were unusually flat, and … there was an endless stream of people.
People were talking and walking, the women with children, and the men were doing all kinds of work. Their clothes were the same as the exhibits in the museum that had been passed down to this day … Even the accessories on their bodies were the same.
"How … how did we …" This was no longer a question of whether she could accept it or not … Facing such a scene, Claudia subconsciously stepped back, "How did we suddenly come to this place? Why don't I remember what happened at all … Could it be, could it be that we are like Arria and Otto, who also lost the relevant memories? Door … After the door was opened, what happened? "
She hoped that Luoqiu behind her could give her an explanation.
Boss Luo quickly explained to her, "Don't worry, we didn't lose our memories, but after opening the door, we came to this place. I can guarantee that this process only took a very short time … Of course, you fainted, which took up most of the time. "
"So, that door is actually connected to this … this space?" Claudia looked up at the sky, the sky was so big that she couldn't see the limit … Such a huge place obviously couldn't be hidden in the temple outside.
She could only use the word 'space' to describe this.
"Have you woken up?"
At this moment, a figure walked into the alley quickly. Claudia looked back and found that the person was Mr. Otto — She just realized that she didn't see Otto after waking up.
At this moment, Mr. Otto changed into a set of clothes that were almost the same as the people outside … Maybe he just changed.
Mr. Otto walked over quickly and said in a low voice, "This place is much bigger than I thought. I've asked the people here. Guess what they call this city?"
"What is it called?" Claudia asked subconsciously.
Mr. Otto said with a serious face, "Heliopolis … Heliopolis City, this place."
Claudia was shocked, "What did you say? Heliopolis? The legendary Sun City … Home of the Gods among the ancient Egyptians … here?! "
Mr. Otto nodded slowly.
At this moment, noises suddenly came from outside the street … The sound was cheering, it seemed that something had happened. They walked out of the alley together, and the people on both sides made way for them.
A magnificent motorcade appeared on the street. Soldiers led the way, elephants pulled the carriage, and there were many attendants behind … A young woman with a beautiful figure was sitting on the shelf pulled by the elephant.
"They call her … Princess." Hearing the cheers of the people around, Mr. Otto suddenly said in a low voice, "Yamanlana."
Claudia was dumbstruck when she saw the woman on the shelf slowly walk past her. The young woman on the shelf looked exactly the same as her.
"Princess … Yamanlana?" Claudia was lost in thought, and couldn't help murmuring, "… Me?"
