Dream Guide

Ahmed had a headache hearing this long list of names. Although he himself is an Arab, he hates when people put his father's name and grandfather's name into their own names. In official Arabic documents, a person's name must include his birth name, father's name, grandfather's name, and surname to be complete.

Ahmed was an orphan and didn't even know his last name. The imam of the mosque adopted him and only gave him a first name. The last name was added later.

"Adura, right?" Ahmed saw his yellowed teeth, took out a cigarette from his pocket and threw one to him, "Speak slowly and tell me everything you know."

"Okay, sir." Abdullah Rashad Rashid Buzbrahi Yi Zijerashi Zishasha Mudzhile took the cigarette and looked excited as he lit it. It was as if he had been rewarded by the president.

"I am the administrator here. I have worked here for more than ten years and I know the situation here very well. But what happened today is really strange. Nothing like this has ever happened before. I was in the duty room of Menkaura at the time. There were two Asian guards who climbed up the pyramid, oh I swear, I really didn’t notice them, they climbed so fast, like apes, these two police officers can vouch for me.”

Adula took a deep drag on the cigarette, with an innocent look on his face, "Seeing that a sandstorm was about to break out, we shouted desperately below to ask them to come down, but they didn't. But to be honest, the sandstorm came too fast. Even if they want to come down, they will probably be blown down by the wind halfway."

Ahmed was a little irritated, "Is this related to what happened in the underground palace? Please tell me the key points."

"Oh, okay, okay, you asked me to speak slowly, so I think this matter has something to do with the underground palace!" Adura defended his wordiness, "I am I want to say that when the sandstorm happened, we couldn't see anything, but there were three rays of light in the sky shining on the tips of the three pyramids, which were very bright."

"Three lights?" Ahmed recalled that he had seen flashes of light in the darkness in the direction of Giza during the sandstorm. He thought it was lightning from the clouds.

"That's right, there were three lights, like flashlights shining down from the sky. One of them shone on the couple climbing up Menkaura." Adura gestured with his hands, "Then the pyramid caught fire and turned into three A big fire."

"Did you see it?" Ahmed asked the people next to him.

The tourists shook their heads.

"Oh, I swear, I'm telling the truth," Adura said.

"Where are the lovers? Where are they now?" Ahmed looked among the crowd.

"They disappeared." Adura waved his hand calmly, as if saying goodbye to someone.

Ahmed felt that Adura's words were not entirely credible, so he said: "Tell us what happened in the underground palace. Don't add any extraneous details. I'll go down and take a look later."

"I swear to the Lord, what I said is the truth." Adura pointed his right index finger at the sky, "I felt very hot at the time, and the damn sand felt like it had been baked in the fire, so I ran as hard as I could and kept running. I felt better when I reached the open space between Khafre and Khufu. I saw two camels lying on the ground. Knowing that they were for tourists to take pictures, I hid next to the camels to avoid the wind and sand. Those vendors who raised camels It's really nothing. They actually said that I was relying on their camels and they wanted to charge me money. I gave my name and they knew me and knew that I was the scenic area administrator. They gave up.

We heard many tourists shouting something. It was too windy to hear clearly, but the direction was the direction of the Pyramid of Khufu. I thought something had happened, so I asked the camel trader to take the camels over to have a look. When I got there, I met a few tourists. They had just escaped from the Pyramid of Khufu and said that they had discovered an underground palace inside. A few bold tourists had already gone down.

The camel vendor encouraged me to go in because I was familiar with the inside of the pyramid and I could walk through the passages inside with my eyes closed. I said: Wait for the police and experts to come. But they said there must be treasures in the underground palace, and there would be nothing to find when the police came. They didn't listen to my dissuasion and went in privately.

After the sandstorm stopped, two police officers came over. Before anyone came out of the pyramid, we decided to go in and have a look. Officer Adefu stayed outside to maintain order, while Officer Basemu and I went in. There was originally an unfinished basement in the Pyramid of Khufu, which was originally not allowed for tourists to visit, but now a new passage has appeared there. In that passage, we found a corpse, with its stomach cut open and blood and broken internal organs everywhere. "

When Adura said this, the patrolman next to him, Basemu, started vomiting again.

"How many corpses are there in total? Are there any alive?" Ahmed asked.

"I don't know." Adura glanced at Basemu, "The scene was a bit scary, so we didn't go any deeper. God bless everyone else and be safe!"

"Did you call the police?" Ahmed knew that the situation was a bit unusual, but he didn't understand why the military police came to block the scene so quickly.

"Yes, we reported to our superiors twice. The first time was to report that a new underground palace might have appeared in the pyramid; the second time was when we came out of it and confirmed that someone was dead."

Ahmed decided to go to the underground palace before Professor Aleph came. As a policeman, he had this responsibility. Moreover, the director has always been well-informed. He must have known something in advance, so he canceled his leave and gave him the highest authority to make emergency decisions.

Making decisions on the spur of the moment means that he can destroy evidence and dispose of the scene at any time, but this requires taking risks and not bringing too many people in. If there is anything strange in the underground palace, it will undoubtedly put himself in danger.

But his adventure was not successful as Professor Aleph soon arrived.

This is an old man who has half of his hair bald, but still has long hair. As soon as he got out of the car, he came to see Ahmed and asked straight to the point: "How much do you know about ancient Egyptian dynastic culture and archeology?"

"Not much, sir," Ahmed said.

"Then you'd better be careful when you go down and don't break anything." Aleph was like an aristocratic old man warning a country nanny who had just arrived in the city not to break the expensive porcelain in the room. "Those officials in the city hall are simply It’s unreasonable to ask someone like you who knows nothing about cultural relics to accompany me into the underground palace! Any Pharaoh’s underworld weapon may be a national treasure!”

Ahmed retorted unceremoniously: "I am a police officer, sir. This is a murder scene. I advise you to be careful when you go down and not to destroy any evidence. The officials in the city hall are simply unreasonable. If I ask someone like you who knows nothing about criminal investigation to accompany me to the scene, any footprints could be left by the murderer!"
