Ahmed's heart jumped wildly. He found himself unable to move or speak, as if he had become a stone statue and could only watch helplessly.
The man with the coral branch came slowly and walked past him with a very gentlemanly step, but turned a blind eye to him.
Ahmed vaguely felt that he had seen the man somewhere. Although the details of his facial features were blurred by a light golden light, his outline, especially the side face when passing by him, made him sure he had seen it somewhere.
As an excellent detective, anyone who has met will leave an impression in his mind. He was sure that he must have seen this man, perhaps on TV or in magazines. Yes, it must be. This man must be a celebrity, a politician, or a rich man. Well, the rich are more likely, because the rich are more likely to appear in the media than ordinary politicians.
The man came to the center of the five stone tablets and stopped. Ahmed remembered that it was the Pharaoh's Sarcophagus, but now the sarcophagus was gone and turned into a flat ground.
The light from the five stone tablets intertwined with the man.
Ahmed looked carefully and found that the light was sent out by the words on the stone tablet. When the light was intertwined, it turned into three-dimensional words, twisted in the air like a holographic projection, as if it was pregnant with living life.
The man stood in the words of light. But he didn't feel it. He squatted down and wiped the ground with his hand. Ahmed saw a symbol on the ground. It was two connected regular triangles. The vertices were connected together, and the two central points were connected by a line segment.
The coral branch on the man's hand was inserted into the apex of two triangles, where there was obviously a small hole. The coral branch suddenly burned and turned into a raging flame, beating in the words of the golden light around. Those twisted words rushed up to the flame like moths, as if they wanted to put out the flame.
However, the fire became more and more prosperous. The gold characters jumped in like bamboo thrown into the fire, which were burned to crackle and crack, and finally broken into fine sand. The sand did not kill the small flame, but all flowed into the two triangles next to the flame.
With more and more golden words burned, the light of the stone tablet gradually faded. Ahmed saw spider like cracks on the stone tablet, getting denser and denser.
The last word jumped into the fire and disappeared with a bang.
Almost at the same time, the five stone tablets fell down with a bang and turned into five piles of stone powder. The stone powder slowly flows into the triangular symbol along the small zigzag cracks on the ground.
Ahmed saw the sand flowing in two triangles, because the sand in one triangle was getting less and obviously flowing to the other triangle. After the sand in the first triangle emptied, the two triangles quickly rotated 180 degrees around the coral flame and exchanged positions. Then the sand in the sand filled triangle began to flow to the empty triangle, and the fine sand slowly flowed along the scribed line passing through the apex.
Ahmed saw that it was an hourglass. Whenever the sand in one sand cone leaks out, the hourglass will automatically turn upside down and flow back from another sand cone.
The flame in the middle was burning all the time. I don't know when three suns appeared in the sky. Each sun shot a strong light and fell on the spires of Khufu, hafra and menkaula.
I don't know how many times the hourglass on the ground turned back and forth. Ahmed looked a little trance, and the hourglass became more and more vivid. It seemed to stand up and become a three-dimensional real hourglass - the shell of crystal, with golden fine sand inside and rose colored flame wrapped outside.
The hourglass became bigger and bigger, and the flame became bigger and bigger. Slowly, a raging fire broke out in the whole world, including the three pyramids.
However, the hourglass is still getting bigger. It really broke away from the surrounding of the flame and turned the flame into a bloody flower in the hourglass.
Ahmed saw the old man in a suit with a look of surprise on his face. It seemed that something had surprised him.
When the upper and lower ends of the hourglass connect with heaven and earth respectively, the original magnificent Giza Pyramids become children's toys in front of it, and everything becomes small.
When all the sand in the sand cone fell to the ground, I thought the hourglass would turn upside down again, but this time it didn't. It may have happened, but Ahmed didn't feel the reversal. A more shocking scene happened——
The whole sand sea became the sand at the bottom of the hourglass. A sand column suddenly rushed up on the ground. The gravity seemed to reverse. The sand column passed through the point in the middle of the hourglass and rushed up to the dome.
A black hole appeared in the sky, and all the sand was sucked into the hole and disappeared.
The flame went out. It suddenly became dark.
Before being swallowed by the darkness, the old man bent down and picked up the coral branch.
Ahmed seemed to see him look back at him, and then he couldn't see anything.
Then he felt someone pushing him hard behind his back. He stumbled and hit something like a low wall. Then he turned over and fell to the ground with a bang. His ass and back were hurt by hard stones. He also heard a thumping sound, like hail hitting the car.
He was not sure whether he had fainted. Anyway, his mind was blank for a while. When he opened his eyes vaguely, he saw a white light, surrounded by walls, and he was lying in a narrow space.
He suddenly sat up and found himself sitting in the sarcophagus with a shroud wrapped around his arm. It was not the stone that had just hit him, but the gold nuggets and masks in the sarcophagus.
He climbed out of the coffin and saw two soldiers lying on the ground and Professor Alef lying on the other side. Their bodies were full of blood, but their bodies were intact.
Abdullah was lying beside the coffin, his hands still clinging to the edge of the coffin. It seemed that he wanted to climb in. Ahmed remembered that he had just been pushed. From the scene, it was probably Abdullah who pushed him.
The five stone tablets around the sarcophagus disappeared, leaving no trace, as if they had never existed. The five bodies in the corner were still there, still facing the sarcophagus, and there was no sign that they had moved.
Ahmed checked the bodies of the four dead companions and found that they were shot. They should have been hit by stray bullets in the chaos just now. He escaped because Abdullah pushed him into the coffin.
It was Abdullah who saved him.
Ahmed recalled what had just happened. What the dead body came alive and saw later must be an illusion, or even a dream, but where are those stone tablets?
He remembered the curse of the wizard in the mummy and felt that this place was indeed a bit evil. He decided to leave here first.
When he reached the entrance of the passage, he came back again, carried Abdullah's body on his back, and then began to climb up the passage with difficulty. Because the passage was so steep, he could only drag Abdullah's body up bit by bit, leaving blood in the passage.
When he came out of the upper Sarcophagus, he accidentally dropped Adura's body again. Ahmed really didn't have the strength to go down and do it again. He said to the cave of the sarcophagus, "brother, I'm sorry. I'll take you out when I go out and find someone. I'll take care of your family for you."
With that, he turned decisively, turned back up the way he came, and soon came to the entrance of the pyramid.
Coming out of the pyramid, Ahmed took a deep breath of fresh air, and then slowly opened his eyes to adapt to the harsh sun. He found that the military and police blocking the Giza area were gone, and the tourists were walking around as if nothing had happened.
Several Arabs led camels to sell photography business. A young Oriental couple was bargaining with them. After the agreement, they got on the camels, but the Arab businessmen turned back and asked them to charge 200 Egyptian pounds instead of letting them get on the camels.
Ahmed felt something was wrong. He walked aimlessly, analyzing what was going on in his mind. Why did the military and police evacuate? Who gave the order?
He walked to the pyramid of Menkaura and met the young Oriental couple. The boy was talking to the keeper of the pyramid in the concierge, as if he had handed over a few bills.
Another to climb the pyramid. Ahmed thought so, but did not intend to mind his own business, so he walked away.
He wanted to call the director, but he didn't think about what to say. Thinking, suddenly thought of something wrong, and hurried back to the Menkaura pyramid.
He saw two policemen riding camels shouting at the pyramid, "come down, there's a sandstorm! Come down!"
The pyramid keeper also came out of the room and shouted at the spire. However, Ahmed did not hear what he was shouting, because he recognized him - the administrator was Abdullah Rashad Rashid buzibrahi izgerahi zimuller.
The wind was whistling. A couple sat on the spire of the pyramid and made a wish. A gray black wall appeared on the horizon in the distance.
A sandstorm is coming.
