At night, in the desert, they set up a camp at a place with sand dunes, waiting for the night to pass. But the desert sky at night was beautiful, so beautiful that it was like a dream. They could not help but sit in front of the campfire, looking up at the vast stars.
"I heard that in the universe, this little broken ball is nothing. It's really just a little broken ball. Is that right, Mr. Xie Jiatu?"
The desert guide Arria came up at this time.
Professor Xie Jiatu was sitting in front of his tent, making a cup of coffee and enjoying the peace at this time. There was another tent next to him, which was Mr. Golden Pupil's tent.
Only this guy called Mr. Xie Jiatu was more pleasing to the eye … Of course, the guy called Golden Pupil next to him was an exception, because he had worked with him several times before, Arria thought.
The reason why he found Mr. Xie Jiatu pleasing to the eye was naturally because Mr. Xie Jiatu was very friendly and gave him a lot of small things. Among them, there was a very good wine, which was a British product.
Arria loved drinking, and he did not want to bring this bottle of wine out of the desert, so he was ready to drink it tonight.
"The world that we can see with our eyes is indeed very small." Professor Xie Jiatu smiled slightly and said, "But this kind of insignificance is not something that can be experienced in a person's life … Most of the time, we can only imagine it."
Arria seemed to be quite interested in the things outside, and he chatted with Mr. Xie Jiatu casually. In fact, he felt that most of the people who came to the desert this time were people with strange personalities. Even Golden Pupil, who he had worked with several times, did not have a good personality.
Of course, this Mr. Golden Pupil was the master of money — that alone was enough to prove that he was the master of money.
"Mr. Xie Jiatu, are you married? At this age, you should have a child, right? "Arria lay on the sand, slightly tipsy.
"I'm not married, but I have a daughter." Professor Xie Jiatu smiled and said, "Her name is Claudia, she is my favorite daughter."
"She must be a beautiful girl." Arria said with envy, "I also want to have a family, and then I also want a daughter, but unfortunately, no woman is willing to be with me."
Professor Xie Jiatu looked at him and asked curiously, "Why do you want a daughter?"
In the local area, the status of women was relatively low … In an area where men were the main labor force, Arria's way of thinking was relatively different.
Arria said without thinking, "How difficult is it to give birth to a boy? When he grows up, you still have to worry about his marriage. Marrying him will require a lot of money! It's different with a daughter. If she gets married, I can receive a lot of money … I don't have any money! "
Professor Xie Jiatu was obviously quite surprised by Arria's thoughts … He began to look at Arria seriously, as if he was thinking about something. He suddenly whispered, "What a guy loyal to desire."
"Ignore this guy." At this time, a man who called himself Golden Pupil walked over. "This guy will start to talk about his dissatisfaction with life after drinking a few mouthfuls of wine … All his money is used to support the village."
"Village?" Professor Xie Jiatu was stunned. When he looked at Arria again, he found that he had fallen asleep with a bottle of wine in his arms.
"Only some old people, women, and children are left." [Golden Pupil] sat down casually — he was holding a pot of boiling water with coffee in his hand.
Mr. Golden Pupil added some coffee to Professor Xie Jiatu's cup and said indifferently, "Most of the men in the village are out. Some of these people were desert guides, but they died in the desert. Some worked in other places and would send money back in the beginning, but gradually, there was no news of them. He is the only young labor force left in the village. "
Professor Xie Jiatu smiled slightly, "No wonder when we were discussing how to enter the desert, you proposed to hire him as a guide."
Mr. Golden Pupil said indifferently, "No, I proposed to hire him not because of his situation, but because he is indeed the best guide nearby … For me, he is the best guide, but his situation is a bit special."
Professor Xie Jiatu nodded, "Everyone has their own way of life."
Mr. Golden Pupil asked curiously, "Then what is your way of life … As the only one among us who insists on using your original name?"
"Truth." Professor Xie Jiatu said indifferently, "Names are not just a symbol for humans. You know, in many ancient myths and legends, names have incredible power. "
"Are you talking about … your real name?" [Golden Pupil] frowned and subconsciously found it funny. "But how can a person have a real name?"
Professor Xie Jiatu shook his head, "The power of a name is not what it can bring you, but it can let you know who you are … the person in the deepest part of your heart."
Mr. Golden Pupil was silent. He held the cup of hot coffee with both hands and felt the passage of time. "What about you, who is the person in the deepest part of your heart?"
He suddenly asked.
Professor Xie Jiatu smiled and said, "Myself, the current me."
Mr. Golden Pupil looked at Professor Xie Jiatu deeply and thought for a while, "Otto, my name is Otto."
"Surname?" Professor Xie Jiatu asked curiously.
"Only this name." Mr. Golden Pupil … Mr. Otto said indifferently.
Professor Xie Jiatu thought for a moment and said, "Family, family … Giving up your surname is the same as giving up those. Are you willing to do that?"
"There's nothing to be reluctant about …" Mr. Otto smiled casually and said, "When you have 69 brothers, and each of them wants the other to die, I don't think you want to be proud of your surname."
Professor Xie Jiatu opened his mouth in surprise.
At this moment, the drunk Arria suddenly sat up and raised the bottle in his hand, shouting, "Long live Dollar … Long live …"
He fell asleep again, snoring loudly as he muttered, "Long live … long live money."
"This way of living might not be bad," Mr. Otto suddenly said. Mr. Otto suddenly said, "At the very least, it's simpler and doesn't have so many complicated things."
"I'm starting to get interested in him." Professor Xie Jiatu smiled.
"He'll be interested in your money," Mr. Otto said noncommittally.
They looked at each other and smiled.
At this moment, Professor Xie Jiatu said slowly, "We can't feel how small this world is. It's so huge in the eyes of mortals … Fate is a wheel that can crush all lives. When it comes, you can't resist it at all. Only in the eyes of the gods, both mortals and the world are small. "
Maybe that's really the case … Mr. Otto thought to himself. No, that was indeed the case.
Because he had seen … a god.
…
…
The Genie — the red figure, the ferocious red face, and the flames burning on his body … The flames weren't actually hot, because he had touched them with his own hands … A long, long time ago.
[Night Watcher] Otto stared at the screen on the metal wall in a daze, but the image on the screen soon turned dark. It was because of the strange creature with an eagle head and a human body … It was crazily pounding on the giant door where the high priest had left.
The huge force must have broken the internal circuit of the metal wall, so the screen couldn't work anymore.
This strange creature with an eagle head and a human body seemed to be the Pharaoh of the kingdom. According to the records that the high priest had seen before, this was indeed the case.
Otto was also sure of one thing, and that was the sudden mutation of the Pharaoh of the kingdom was completely out of the high priest's expectation.
A small stone suddenly rolled to the feet of the night watcher, interrupting his thoughts. He turned around and saw Ibben, who he had been hiding outside, waving at him and whispering, "Go! Go! It's dangerous! Do you really want to fight against this horrible thing … You'll die! You'll really die! "
The night watcher looked up and looked around. Because of the impact of the eagle head monster, the electricity in the room had stopped. He didn't know if the electromagnetic field outside the miniature temple had stopped working.
"Go."
The night watchers raised their swords to guard against the mad eagle-headed creature and quickly joined Ibben. It seemed that the high priest's wish was going to fail. This eagle-headed creature was not interested in the night watchers at all.
"Where are we going?" Ibben hurriedly asked.
The night watcher said directly, "Go to the square and see if you can pick up the weapon … Since the appearance of this eagle-headed monster made the Senior Priest panic, then let's make this palace … this place completely chaotic!"
As he spoke, the night watcher took out a palm-sized box from his clothes … He sneered and pressed a button in the box without thinking.
"What … What is this?" Ibben instinctively felt a sense of danger and wanted to get close. He couldn't help but ask with a trembling voice.
The night watcher coldly laughed and said, "A time bomb! I only brought a few before I entered the desert, just in case … Finally, I can put them to good use. "
Ibben … Ibben blinked. The information that appeared in his mind wasn't the use of this time bomb, but … why did this guy bring this thing into the desert?
"So … So what is this bomb?" Ibben asked subconsciously.
The night watcher indifferently said, "Her Highness Princess of Sun City is probably a person with a scientific spirit. She has an independent research lab in the palace … Of course, this shouldn't be hidden from the high priest. But for some reason, the high priest knew but tacitly agreed to what the princess did. "
"And then?"
The night watcher directly said, "In the innermost part of this research lab, there is a giant beast hidden … And it is a living giant beast. I'm just opening the cage that's trapping this giant beast. "
Ibben suddenly patted his head and realized, "I see, that is to say, a giant beast will appear in the palace soon … Oh! Mr. Night Watcher, you are really full of evil … What!! Giant beast!! "
What the —!!
"I just want the way out." The night watcher indifferently said, "The life and death of the residents of Sun City has nothing to do with me … This is my way of life. If you don't want to die, follow me … I will take you out of here. "
"I will follow you … Even if I die, I will follow you, Mr. Night Watcher!" Ibben said without thinking, "Only by following you can I have wealth! I'm not afraid of death … It's best if I don't die! "
The room … began to collapse.
The strange creature with an eagle head and a human body was not satisfied with simple physical collision at this time — it even opened its mouth and spat out blue and white light … The light could penetrate the surrounding metal walls in an instant!
"Xie Jiatu … What are you hiding here?"
The night watcher couldn't help but take a deep breath, pulling Ibben with one hand and rushed out of here.
…
Metal doors opened one after another in front of the High Priest … Behind these automatic doors was a seemingly endless passageway.
He suddenly stopped, but the metal door in front of him didn't continue to open … The high priest turned a direction, and the metal wall next to him opened. He walked in, and it turned out to be an elevator that could lead to the underground.
The elevator descended all the way to the deepest part of the temple … He silently watched everything that was happening on the screen inside the elevator.
"Who was it that woke it up …" The high priest's brows were furrowed deeper than ever. "Horus …"
The high priest's body suddenly jolted … The elevator had reached the end and stopped – he quickly walked out of the elevator.
Before him was a long metal staircase … Surprisingly, below the metal staircase was a huge pool that emitted a blue fluorescent light.
The metal staircase led to a platform in the middle of the huge pool – on this platform, there was a platform that was as tall as a person.
On this platform, there was a golden scale placed there quietly.
The high priest walked up the stairs and arrived at the platform … He casually glanced at the pool beneath his feet before walking directly to the platform.
Behind him, in the pool that was emitting a faint blue light, there were many human faces … Many human faces with closed eyes were floating under the surface of the water at this moment!
No.
They were not human faces, rather, they were people with their eyes closed, submerged within the pool.
