"The LORD said to Moses, 'The king of Egypt is stubborn and will not let the people go. Tomorrow morning he will come to the Nile. You must go to him by the river with the rod that turned into a snake in your hand. rod. Say to him, "The LORD has sent me to let his people go so that they may worship their Lord in the wilderness. But even now you have not listened. This is what the LORD says: ' Behold, I will strike the waters of the Nile with the rod in my hand, and I will turn the waters of the Nile into blood. Then you will know that I am the LORD. The fish in the river will die, and the water will stink, and the Egyptians will no longer be able to Let’s drink water from the river.’”’”

In the narrow interrogation room, Professor Sun Lun sat on the interrogation chair and read a passage from the Bible in a calm tone, with a strange smile on his old face.

This archaeologist is 76 years old, still in good spirits, and not at all embarrassed about being in jail.

Two of the three interrogators opposite him were from the Conjuration Department and one was from the Investigation Department. In the dark room outside the one-way glass on the wall, there were many people watching at the same time. The situation in the interrogation room was also monitored throughout the process. The surveillance cameras record and transmit it to multiple departments simultaneously.

At this time, Tongye took Xiaoxu into the darkroom. He nodded to Dr. Shen and the other ten people and asked, "What's going on?"

Seeing that Mr. Tong looked fine, Dr. Shen let go of his worries and replied, "Professor Sun still didn't pay attention to the question. He just read a passage..."

Chang Qianhang, an investigator from the Curse Department here who is proficient in various religious knowledge and also understands Egyptian civilization, took over, "Tong Ye, this is the book of Exodus in the Old Testament of the Bible. It is what Jehovah commanded Moses to say to the king of Egypt. At that time, Moses brought When the Israelites wanted to flee Egypt, but the Egyptians stopped them, Jehovah sent down the so-called 'Ten Plagues of Egypt'. What Professor Sun just said was the first 'blood plague', which would turn all the clear water of the Nile River into blood."

"Are there ten plagues in Egypt?" Tong Ye tensed up his face and looked at the others, "What other plagues are there?"

"I know." Xiaoxu next to him said softly. He is very young, but no one here knows how much knowledge he actually knows. Xiaoxu is famous for being a humanoid computer, "Frog plague, louse plague , plagues of flies, plagues, plagues of rash, hail, locusts, and, the death of the eldest son.”

Chang Qianhang nodded, "The 'death of the eldest son' refers to the death of all the eldest sons of all Egyptian families and all first-born livestock in Egypt."

"Then this 'Eternal Lord' is really more cruel than the King of Egypt." Tong Ye said.

"The Old Testament talks about an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth." Chang Qianhang answered again.

"Master Tong, I feel like Professor Sun is using a metaphor? The King of Egypt refers to our Secret Bureau? Is he Moses? The Lord...may be the Black Goat."

This inference made by Dr. Shen made everyone agree that epidemics, especially epidemics...

Tong Ye looked at the old professor opposite the one-way glass. He was obviously much older than him. He was the oldest person here. His face was full of wrinkles and age spots, but he seemed to have a different air. , different from getting stronger with old age, but like being able to control one's own life and death... That is the weird thing about Professor Sun.

"How is the investigation going? When did Professor Sun start doing this?"

"Preliminary investigations have been conducted on his students and his family." Dr. Shen said that originally these matters were not under his charge, but recently the operation of the spell department has been in chaos and has been almost paralyzed. "They cannot be ruled out as suspects for the time being. , but they don’t think there is anything unusual about Professor Sun recently. Most of the collections in Professor Sun’s home are common fakes of Egyptian cultural relics. This kind of collection is very common in the homes of experts and scholars who study Egyptian civilization. However, there is a goat-headed lion. The shape of the pottery statue is weird."

"What?" Master Tong asked, "Do you have any photos?"

Chang Qianhang took a document and handed it to Tong Ye. They were forensic photos of the collections found in Professor Sun's home.

Tong Ye turned over a page of the document and saw the most suspicious pottery statue. Even if he didn't see the real thing, he still felt weird based on his own gnosis...

"Master Tong, the horns of this pottery statue resemble the 'womb' character in the hieroglyphic script of Egyptian civilization." Chang Qianhang explained, "It is very different from ordinary goat heads. We have done a technical analysis on this pottery statue. It was made no more than 20 years ago, so it may be a replica and the real thing may be different.”

This is why they brought Professor Sun back to the Magic Ministry base for interrogation.

There are not so many coincidences in the world. Looking at Professor Sun's words and deeds now, there must be something wrong with this person.

"Twenty years?" Tong Ye suddenly thought of something, "How long has Professor Sun owned this pottery statue?"

"Probably that long." Chang Qianhang replied, "We asked Professor Sun's grandson, who is now twenty years old, and he said that he had seen this pottery statue when he was a child."

Tong Ye was confused, "I remember when we started investigating ancient Egyptian mythology, we also asked Professor Sun, right? What did the files at that time say?"

The clues to Egyptian mythology were first suggested by Yu Chi regarding the connection between Nyarlathotep and Apep. Later, he also made this association with the Black Goat of the Forest. At that time, the Tianji Bureau and Goa had plans to spread the word to the world. Some experts in the field asked for help.

"There were no questions at the time. Professor Sun answered whatever we asked. We have never seen this pottery statue before. It must have been hidden by Professor Sun on purpose. Because there was no search at the time, it was discovered this time."

"Was this pottery found from a secret room in his home?" Tongye asked, "Or is it placed next to the TV in the living room?"

Chang Qianhang and Dr. Shen both looked at another person, Yi Huiyu, the team leader who led the team to search Professor Sun's house. She replied: "Master Tong, the pottery statue is placed on a stone table in the middle of the hall. Facing the gate. It was noon when we went

, the sun is shining on the pottery statue...that feeling is very strange. "

"It's the worship of the sun god." Tong Ye thought, "Professor Sun has been hiding for more than 20 years. It's impossible for him to be so careless suddenly... He suddenly stopped hiding and was so blatant. It wouldn't be a big deal if he was caught here. Don't be afraid, there must have been some changes that made him like this...make him think it's time...Now a question is, is Professor Sun 'Moses', or one of the Israelis led by 'Moses'?"

Everyone in the darkroom was silent for a moment, just like the heavy air here. They all knew that Wu Shiyu warned about the abnormal movement of the black goat's power.

"He is not Moses." Xiaoxu said suddenly, the young man's face expressionless, "because he does not have a snake staff."

At the same time, Professor Sun read another passage of scripture in the interrogation room, and his voice was still so proud.

“The LORD spoke to Moses, saying, ‘Say to Aaron, ‘Stretch out your rod over all the waters of Egypt, over their rivers, rivers, ponds, and ponds, and turn the waters into blood throughout the land of Egypt. , whether in the wooden vessel or in the stone vessel, there must be blood.”

So Moses and Aaron did as the Lord commanded them. Aaron raised his staff and struck the water of the river in the sight of the king of Egypt and his servants, and the water in the river turned to blood.

The fish in the river died and the river smelled fishy. The Egyptians could not drink the water in the river. There was blood all over Egypt. "
