bit stealing game

Chapter 66 Backing off

The United Nations camp, separated only by a few bonfires, was much livelier and more divided than ours.

Several groups of people guarded one area in distinct areas.

A few scattered people were standing around the cold table. Alex, who was closer to us, was communicating politely with Jacqueline; the other half of the table was Patrick and others. Carl was still with his group of mercenaries.

Mixed together, there is now a red-haired girl beside him. And the mysophobic Bruce who has always appeared at the same time as him does not seem to be in the crowd. Kawaii San walks around in the crowd with his head slightly lowered, and when someone talks to him, he talks.

He made a round lump on his chest, indicating that he was looking for a cat. I suspected that he was using looking for a cat as an excuse to avoid social interaction and allowed Tempura to roam freely. Arno was having sex with a Latina woman.

Several other white people I couldn't name were dancing around the largest bonfire.

Deep in the crowd, I finally saw Meng Weiqing and Teacher Bai. They were talking to Morgan and Buswell. Li Yuan, Xia Shangzhou and Ruiya were not with them.

Jiang Can didn't know whether he wanted to join in the fun or didn't want to see Meng Weiqing. As soon as he arrived here, he encouraged everyone to follow him to look around. In the end, everyone except Lou Shiqi followed him.

Lou Shiqi looked longingly at the backs of several people who were enjoying themselves like a fish in water.

"How about you go with me?" I glanced at him.

Lou Shiqi sighed heavily. "I'd better ask Teacher Meng if someone else can go to the Temple of Set."

I snorted and ignored him.

As for Hassan and Ali who followed us from 279, I just pretend they don’t exist.

While passing a group of people, an impossibly beautiful brown-haired woman with exquisite makeup suddenly walked up to us from the crowd. Her sharp eyebrows raised: "Did I miss something? Can we look forward to it for a while?

And there are oriental-style performances?”

The woman with a British accent looked arrogant, as condescending as an inquisitor. Her eyes swept over Lou Shiqi, Hassan and others one by one, and at the end she raised the corners of her lips meaningfully. Everyone around her laughed.

Got up.

Hassan and Ali were clearly losing their composure and trying their best to hold back their anger.

Laila, who had been paying attention here, stood up from the remote fire. Beside her, the Egyptian guide from the United Nations was giving hookah to some foreigners who looked like mercenaries.

But the word "Oriental" insults not only them.

I didn’t expect to encounter racial discrimination at this time. Compared to the Egyptians, I didn’t feel offended. After all, it is now a team composed of various countries and the 279 branch is full of Chinese. We also have people like Li Yuan.

A bug-level existence. Even if they yell loudly, it won't do any harm.

I glanced at the lewd people in front of me and thought they were pitifully stupid.

"You should be ashamed of your words." Alex brushed away the onlookers. Her green eyes were polished with anger and had an unstoppable beauty.

"Are you here to safeguard world peace, little Jewish princess?" The brown-haired woman narrowed her eyes provocatively.

Alex's face fell completely. "Apologise."

The brown-haired woman took advantage of her height to look down at Alex. "How do you want me to apologize?"

Alex glared at her.

"If you don't know what life is like, you'd better go home and find your mother." As soon as the brown-haired woman finished speaking, she immediately covered her mouth in a pretentious manner. "Ah, wait a minute, your mother doesn't want you anymore."

This woman is clearly targeting Alex.

The atmosphere was tense.

Several people around were very happy to see this explosive scene. There were also many other people who paid some attention to our conflict, including Karl. However, no one intervened.

"Some people like to add drama to themselves. What, are you being left out?" I squeezed in between them before Alex could respond. "I haven't asked for advice yet. Are you?"

"Stephanie. Stephanie Hope." Stephanie glanced at me.

"Okay, Stephanie. It's our fault for coming to such a smoky place." I grabbed Alex and smiled at the woman. "But what are you doing here? It's because you didn't mark the way here.

, so you can’t find your way home?”

"What do you mean?" She raised her eyebrows.

"It seems like no one here is expecting you, and you need some attention." I don't want to get into trouble, but I can't stand people picking up other people's scars. "So now, why don't you take your ignorant, pretty little head and get out of here and find out

Where are the people who are willing to reward you?"

Stephanie narrowed her eyes dangerously.

Lou Shiqi asked me in a low voice: "Hey Wang Yu, what are you talking about? Why does it smell like gunpowder?"

I shook my head, and out of the corner of my eye I caught sight of Li Yuan walking over from a certain conversation to say goodbye. The foreigners around him looked here and made no further moves.

Stephanie put on a mean smile. Her sharp lips opened slightly, and I was ready for a scolding battle.

At this time, a drunken young man came over with a smile.

"Stephanie, why do you monopolize our friends?" He was really drunk. If the friends around him hadn't helped him in time, he would have fallen before he reached us. He raised his beer towards us.

He threw the wine in the jar all over the floor. "Hi, let's have a drink together?"

Alex took a step aside and glanced at him with a frown, "No one is friends with her, and no one wants to drink. As long as you know some respect."

The young man didn't know if he was too drunk. He didn't take Alex's sarcastic remarks to heart at all. He was still shouting: "It's really lively over there. Come on, let's go there together."

Stephanie thought for a while and unexpectedly put away her harshness. Her beautiful eyes turned around the visitor and her red lips curled up: "I won't accompany you for now. I wish you a good time." After that, she started from there.

The man took the precarious beer can in his hand and slowly spilled the remaining wine on the sand.

Karl, who had been paying attention to this side, saw that the conflict did not break out further, sneered and turned away.

After Stephanie left, the group of people dispersed. Faced with Alex's cold face, the drunken young man and his friends were not so active in promoting "drinking together".

Li Yuan only caught up to the tail end of the farce.

I thanked Alex. It was because she stood up for us that Stephanie made her sad. Although I felt that Stephanie was deliberately trying to make a scene and use the topic to make a joke. If someone hadn't just come to make a joke, it would probably be the current situation.

I can't control it anymore.

Stephanie targeted Alex with every word, as if she knew her background very well. I only heard about Alex’s mother leaving without saying goodbye when she was ill at dusk, and even Qi Tian didn’t find out about this part. Why?

Would Stephanie know so clearly?

Alex reluctantly smiled at me. "Thank you too." After saying that, she looked at Li Yuan.

Li Yuan thought for a moment and invited: "Do you want to dance?"

Alex shook her head. "I'm fine. I just want to stay by myself for a while." After that, she looked at Li Yuan again, and then walked away.

Li Yuan hesitated for a moment and wanted to follow him, but Jason reached Alex first.

"'Do you want to go dancing?'" I glanced at Li Yuan. "I really have you."

Hassan and Ali returned to Laila in silence.

Socrates was sitting on the sand gloomily. When his companion came back, he just raised his head and glanced slightly, and then gently patted a drum in his hand. Laila looked at her brother with moist amber eyes, haha

Sang smiled helplessly at her.

The situation of these Egyptians is really not good. Earlier I was only angry at the Egyptians for lying to me and using me as a gunman, but I ignored that they really had no other choice. If they didn't hook up with the Americans,

Or this line 269, the Egyptians had no chance to enter this desert that belongs to their own land.

We left quietly without disturbing these Egyptians who were squeezed by the times.

After hearing about the arrangements to visit the Temple of Set again tonight, Li Yuan and we found Meng Weiqing who was talking to others. He also wanted to visit there again.

However, after hearing our idea, Meng Weiqing refused directly. He did not mention the conflict between Stephanie and us just now, and he could not care about anything unrelated to the mission.

"But you have also seen that Blake's notes are not consistent with the situation in the Temple of Set. There must be something wrong with the double-layered mural. Hassan also said that he went to sacrifice at that time because his grandfather Mustafa asked him to do so.

There is definitely something fishy in this."

Meng Weiqing frowned even more after hearing what I said. I thought it was funny, but I didn't expect that he would not let go.

"We are not the only ones going to the Temple of Set tonight." He pointedly raised his cigar to Morgan and others, "Neither you nor Yue Chen can go, we can't take risks." After that, he followed the stairs again.

Shi Qi explained the equipment he wanted to bring, and then continued back to the conversation he had just had with Morgan and others.

Li Yuan has no obsession with going to the Temple of Set. It would be best if he could go. If he couldn't go, he wouldn't insist on it. He didn't care about the possible uses of his blood.

But I was very irritable. Even if Li Yuan couldn't go, why couldn't I go either?

"What's the matter? You can't go if you want to go, but you have to go if you don't want to go." Lou Shiqi complained in a low voice. "It's enough to attract people if you go during the day, but you might encounter something in the middle of the night."

I glanced at him sideways. "Then you should highlight your moves and don't let anything stop you."

"You must be wicked." Lou Shiqi's eyebrows knitted together, feeling extremely worried. "Don't even think about me coming back to tell you the situation."

"Don't bother." I pulled him aside, further away from Meng Weiqing and Teacher Bai, and then lowered my voice and said, "Do you still remember the mural you saw this afternoon?" Seeing Lou Shiqi nodded, I

He continued: "After you go there, keep an eye on it to see who is looking for that mural."

I didn’t just say which group of people I wanted him to keep an eye on, for fear of preempting him and ignoring the other guys who also knew the inside story of the murals. Those who also paid attention to the murals were probably related to the British and French archaeological teams sixty years ago.

Lou Shiqi shuddered and reluctantly agreed. "You also said that it was quite scary in the first place, but you mentioned the broken mural again."

Seeing him in such a frightened state, I became evil-minded again. "Remember to touch things randomly, otherwise"

"What else?" Lou Shiqi's eyes widened.

I enjoyed his nervousness for a while, and then said: "Otherwise, I might be chosen by the gods of ancient Egypt to be a good boy."

"You must be wicked." He repeated again, turned around and left.

"Hey, why are you going?"

"Pack up your bed and go be a philanthropic boy!" Lou Shiqi walked away angrily, muttering as he walked: "This bad team can't stay for another minute."

There are not many entertainment programs in this desert, but Lou Shiqi can bring some happiness every time.

When I turned back, I found that Li Yuan was no longer where he was, and there was a woman with short light blond hair who looked familiar to Rhea standing there. The two of them looked very familiar.

"Hello, I'm Carter, Louisa Carter. You can call me Ms. Carter." The serious-faced woman stretched out her hand to me.

I held it.

For a pale and thin woman, her hands were too strong, and I seemed to have touched the gun cocoon. I looked at Rhea quietly, and she raised her eyebrows with a half-smile.

"Our team member was very rude just now. What she said was very inappropriate. I apologize to you on her behalf." Louisa retracted her hand and stood upright naturally.

It turns out that she and the domineering Stephanie are from the same organization. But how many forces are involved in this trip? In addition to Morgan and Carl, there is one more. Where did they come from?

"It doesn't matter, that's none of your business."

"But she is right about one thing. You really shouldn't be here. I'm not referring to Meng, but you guys." Louisa's two golden eyebrows moved closer to each other in confusion. Her gray eyes were very

Special, like birds with very good night vision. Now those very special gray eyes are flashing with real surprise. "I really can't understand how Meng can be so playful about such a dangerous thing. The same goes for Hector,

He even brought those Egyptians with him. Ancient Egypt is completely meaningless in this matter, how could they be fooled."

Hector is Bouswell. It turns out that this fringe archaeologist is the one who can decide whether Hassan or the others should stay.

"Existence is reasonable. Maybe it would be better to think less about unreasonable things and reduce worries." I am too lazy to get angry now, but a sense of irritability still surges up uncontrollably.

279 has not told me their true purpose so far. The Egyptians have some key information. Now new forces have begun to emerge and it is obvious that I am excluded from the category of insiders.

The one chosen by Tempura now is Rhea. She can't hold the fat cat, so she can only squat down and touch its chubby body from time to time. Tempura seems to be very satisfied with this kind of treatment, holding his tail upright against her

Wandering around the feet.

If it weren't for what Ms. Carter said was so outrageous and Rhea's attitude towards the show was too obvious, the scene would have been quite endearing.

I suppressed my negative emotions, nodded and walked around them.

It's okay to say that your feelings were hurt. But people who don't trust you are kept in the dark by "your own people" and are plotted by people hiding in the dark.

I miss A Tian and Lao Zhang so much, I really wish they could be here.

Li Yuan was just pushed away by Rhea, and he was about to walk towards me, but was stopped by Alex. I don’t know what Alex had just experienced, and now his eyes are a little red and swollen.

The person who hid the most from me was Li Yuan.

Among a bunch of lies, I don’t care so much about the truth.

call it a day and go home
