But no matter what the origin of the Aria in front of her is, there is a vague and absurd wish in Claudia's heart at this moment... She even hopes that her father, Professor Xie Jiatu, will also walk out of the passage of this huge stone door. .

Even if it was just him half a year ago.

Claudia couldn't help being startled by this thought, but Otto and Aria who suddenly transformed into sand, and Otto and Aria who walked out of the door again, were the only ones she had seen in the past twenty years. Something that cannot be explained by all the knowledge I have learned.

"I...I want to go in and take a look!" Claudia, who was still hesitating a moment ago and even had the intention of retreating, now looked at Boss Luo with a solemn face and said: "I have a feeling...maybe inside, The truth can really be found.”

"Aren't you afraid?"

Claudia nodded, then shook her head: "I'm afraid...but I want to know the truth even more."

Boss Luo leaned over and picked up the backpack containing the magic lamp - this was Mr. Otto's backpack... the Mr. Otto who had turned into sand.

Luo Qiu suddenly handed the backpack to Claudia.

"This is..." Claudia opened it and took a look, and found that what was inside was the worn-out oil lamp she had given away before. She couldn't help but be a little puzzled... She didn't know what the new classmate meant behind this move.

The boss blinked and said: "Perhaps when you encounter danger, you can really summon the elves."

"You!" Claudia rolled her eyes angrily... She has probably rolled her eyes more times in the past two days than in the past twenty years.

But she still silently put her backpack on her back... Although this statement was very absurd, but for some reason, the longer they spent together, she found that she seemed to believe more and more what Luo said.

"You want to go in?" Aria, who was picking fruits to eat, saw this and ran back quickly, "Don't you wait a moment? Your father should be out soon, right?"

"He came out a long time ago." Claudia said casually, then ignored Aria and walked into the stone gate with Luo Qiu.

Aria was left outside, scratching his head, wondering why these people were so persistent in going inside... He raised his head and looked at the huge temple, only to feel an indescribable feeling of depression.

He sat on the ground on a pile of sand. He didn't know why his heart suddenly became sad, and tears flowed down uncontrollably.

"What the hell!"

…

Boss Luo still held up his lantern that he took out from somewhere... Although the light source was not strong, it was surprisingly able to shine very far in the dark passage.

Quiet, repetitive and dark environments can easily make people nervous... Some people say that as long as a normal person is imprisoned in a completely dark room for three days and three nights, it is enough to make people close to mental collapse. status.

Claudia became vaguely irritated, and subconsciously grabbed Luo Qiu's arm. Boss Luo, who had already mastered the mechanism of absolute defense, let Claudia hold on like this, feeling the restraint. Claudia's fingers were getting stronger and weaker, and Boss Luo suddenly said, "What would you do if you saw another version of yourself?"

"Another self?" Claudia couldn't help but be startled, but thinking about Otto and the two who had turned into sand, and their reappearance, she felt a little creepy, "Maybe...feeling fear, and even a kind of The idea that you might be false?”

Boss Luo blinked and asked curiously: "Do you think you are the fake one? Generally speaking, you shouldn't think that the other party is the fake one?"

Claudia shrugged, "When I look in the mirror, I often feel like I'm fake... Maybe it's because my thinking mode is different from others, or maybe it's because of the greater psychological pressure... What about you? , if it were you, how would you feel?"

"This is probably not possible." Luo Qiu said calmly.

Claudia opened her mouth and looked at Luo Qiu dissatisfied, "How can this be true? You only need to ask others, and others are not allowed to ask you?"

Boss Luo smiled and said calmly: "Because this assumption will not be established, so I have no way to predict what my reaction will be to this problem when I already know that it will not be established... Just treat it like me I can’t answer you.”

"Rational?" Claudia frowned and sighed: "Speaking of which, you have always been calm. You are a more rational guy than anyone else."

Boss Luo said with a little longing at this time: "I also have irrational times... I have also had my moments."

Claudia only took it as a sign that the other party had experienced a lot of maturity.

It was like a vicissitudes of life old man describing his youthful and ignorant days in a calm tone... She suddenly felt that Luo was very similar to Otto - the Otto who had turned into a pile of sand.

"If you have anything you want to talk to someone about, I..."

Her words were quickly interrupted by Boss Luo... Boss Luo said casually at this time: "We seem to have caught up with... the new Mr. Otto."

Claudia was startled and looked forward. She did vaguely see a figure, standing still... Judging from the clothes, it was indeed the new Mr. Otto from just now.

…

The place where Mr. Otto stood motionless was an entrance... There was a door. It was a blue stone door that was one size smaller than the huge stone door outside. There were many inscriptions on the two doors. In addition, In addition, there is a pattern of a huge scale engraved on the door...the pattern divides the two doors into two.

Mr. Otto was holding a notebook at this time, recording the inscription on the door, seemingly not paying attention to the arrival of someone behind him.

"What's written on it?"

Perhaps because of her acquaintance with the previous Otto, facing this Mr. Otto whom she did not know, Claudia did not get used to it all of a sudden, and her tone was naturally more casual, unlike that of a stranger. between.

"The evil in the world, the good in the world." Otto did not pay attention to Claudia's tone, and said to himself: "There is something to measure good and evil behind the door... It is a place of judgment, and sinners should not enter .”

"Sinner?" Claudia was stunned, just looking at the door in front of her.

There are no other passages here. It seems that only by opening this door can we continue to go deeper. However, although this door looks smaller than the huge stone door outside, its mass is obviously not something that ordinary people can push open.

I'm afraid ten or eight adults wouldn't have the strength.

"Maybe there is some kind of mechanism." Claudia thought for a while, "The mechanism that can open this door... Is there a groove here?"

She pointed to a spot under the door on the left, where there was indeed a groove that looked like an eye.

Mr. Otto frowned at this time and said: "It is said that when Horus was fighting with Seth, Seth dug out his left eye. What is missing here seems to be Horus's left eye... This is very important to the gods. It should be a shame, this temple of the sun god Horus should not use this kind of prop to open the door."

Boss Luo, who didn't know much about ancient Egyptian civilization, asked out of curiosity: "Who is Set?"

Mr. Otto glanced back, but ignored it. He just kept observing the inscription on the door.

Claudia came over and said softly: "According to legend, Set was the uncle of Horus, and there was an eighty-year battle between them. The ancient Egyptians believed that Set was the god of the earth, in charge of He is the god of strength, associated with deserts, storms and wars. On the contrary, Horus is the god of the sky. To put it simply, Seth and Horus are enemies...but in fact, Seth has also served as The patron saint of the ancient pharaohs for a long time.”

Boss Luo nodded, and then took out the eye pendant he got from Otto, who had turned into sand.

"You...where did you get this thing?" Claudia couldn't help but be startled.

Her voice made Mr. Otto subconsciously look at it... The moment he saw the pendant in Boss Luo's hand, Mr. Otto's expression changed slightly. He walked over quickly, reached out and took the necklace from Luo Qiu. He took it out in his hand and after looking at it carefully for a few times, he asked the same question as Claudia.

"From the current situation, the important thing is not its origin, but whether it can open this door...right." Luo Qiu looked at Mr. Otto - he was not wearing any accessories at this time. of.

"I'll do it." Mr. Otto took a deep look at Luo Qiu, then quickly walked to the left door and carefully placed the eye pendant in his hand into the groove.

Completely gentle... As if the eye pendant was originally part of the door - when the pendant was completely embedded, the crack between it and the door even disappeared, and it was completely integrated with the door!

At this moment, a slight vibration began to come from underneath everyone... The door in front of them suddenly moved!

The two doors closed inward for an instant, and a strong light shot out from inside. At the same time, a terrifying suction force also appeared at this time, sucking Luo Qiu, Claudia and Mr. Otto directly into the door.

After the three of them were completely sucked into this huge bluestone door, its door was immediately closed.

…

…

She felt the moisture coming from her lips, and even gradually woke up from a trance... The moment she opened her eyes, a figure was in front of her.

She couldn't see clearly what the figure looked like, but her reaction was extremely exciting... She suddenly pushed the figure in front of her away, showing an expression of extreme fear.

"It's me, Claudia-san."

Boss Luo's voice... the voice that slowly penetrated deep into her heart, woke her up from some kind of fear - after waking up, Claudia was still sweating all over her body, and the hot breath seemed to be in her breathing. It was as if it could roast the internal organs in her body, which made her feel a little uncomfortable.

"Here...is this?"

She looked up and looked around... There were many earth-yellow buildings, all of which were small bungalows. At this time, she seemed to be in an alley between two bungalows, but even though there was shade, there was no coolness at all. Feel.

"It seems to be a certain city."

From Boss Luo's mouth, Claudia heard an answer that made her even more confused - what does it mean to be like a certain city?

But soon, Claudia understood the true meaning of Boss Luo's words... She got up and walked out of the alley, and the originally quiet environment suddenly became extremely lively.

Streets, exceptionally smooth streets, and... a constant flow of people.

People were talking and walking, women with children, and men doing various jobs. Their clothes are the same as those handed down to this day, and they are the same as the exhibits placed in the museum...even the accessories on their bodies.

"I...how on earth did we..." This is no longer a question of acceptance... Faced with this situation, Claudia subconsciously stepped back, "How did we suddenly come to this place? Why don't I understand at all?" I don’t remember what happened... Could it be that we, like Aria and Otto, also lost related memories? The door... what happened after that door opened? "

She hoped that Luo Qiu behind her could give her an explanation.

Boss Luo quickly explained to her, "Don't worry, we didn't lose our memory, but we came to this place after opening the door. I can guarantee that this process only took a short time... Of course, You passed out and took up most of it.”

"So, that door is actually connected to this... this space?" Claudia looked up at the sky. The sky was so big that there was no limit to it... It was obviously impossible to hide in such a huge place. In the temple outside.

She could only use space to describe this at this time.

"Are you awake yet?"

At this moment, a figure walked quickly into the alley. Claudia looked back and found that the person was Mr. Otto. Only then did she realize that she did not see Otto after she woke up. .

At this time, Mr. Otto put on a set of clothes that were almost the same as those of people outside...probably just changed out of them.

I saw Mr. Otto walking quickly at this time, whispering: "This place is much larger than imagined. I asked the people here, what do you think they called this city?"

"What's your name?" Claudia asked subconsciously.

Mr. Otto said with a solemn expression: "Heliopolis... Heliopolis City, this place."

Claudia was immediately shocked, "What did you say? Heliopolis? The legendary City of the Sun...the [Land of the Gods] among the ancient Egyptians...here?!"

Mr. Otto nodded slowly.

At this moment, a noisy sound suddenly came from outside the street... The sound was the sound of cheers, as if something had happened. They all walked out of the alley, and the people on both sides immediately moved out of the way.

I saw a spectacular convoy appearing on the street. Soldiers led the way, elephants pulled the cart, and there were many attendants behind... I saw a graceful man sitting on the treasure shelf pulled by the elephant. young woman.

"They call her...princess." Listening to the cheers of the people around him, Mr. Otto suddenly whispered: "Yaman Lana."

But seeing the woman on the treasure shelf slowly passing in front of her, Claudia was dumbfounded - the young woman on the treasure shelf looked exactly like her.

"Princess Yamanlana?" Claudia was stunned and couldn't help but murmured: "...me?"
