Kai stayed in Egypt for five days, and his first mission this time was to meet old friends. He and Hawke had not seen each other for several years. In order to form this special force, Hawke had cut off contact with the outside world for a long time. Even his family did not know where he was. Fortunately, this guy is not married, otherwise the cliff will become a green grassland. Foreign women are not so affectionate.
The second task is to have a good vacation.
After arriving in Egypt, except for walking around the base on the first day, the rest of the time was spent holding the girl in his arms and playing around Egypt.
It's clear that this is to rip off the wool of the US military, but from the special forces to the US military, not only are they not angry about this behavior, but they secretly encourage it and let it go. For the U.S. military, gathering federal wool is simply a required course for every general. For example, a National Guard major general's wife went to Los Angeles for shopping and spent hundreds of thousands of dollars a day. As a result, these bills were reimbursed by the major general's training ammunition.
This is of course a very low-end approach, but this situation is common among the upper echelons of the US military. There are those high-end players who keep accounts beautifully and receive huge amounts of benefits without any problems, and others cannot even check them.
That's the only good thing about the US military, everything is opaque! Everyone can obviously see that there is something wrong with the accounts, but if someone mentions military secrets, everyone can only stare.
In short, there are many ways to play, but you can't escape the fact of shedding wool.
It's just too good for them that Kaiken is complicit. After all, they are superheroes, and their excessive sense of justice has always been the most taboo thing about superheroes among politicians and military officers. They were not sure whether these guys with an excessive sense of justice would target them. After all, they themselves knew that their actions had absolutely nothing to do with justice.
The reason why Kai is so popular is because he only focuses on his own affairs and is not interested in other messy things at all. For those gentlemen, this is the best. Now that Kai is blatantly plundering the wool, it further proves that everyone is on the same side. At least this way, they don't need to worry about Kai trying to trick them, and everything will be easy to talk about.
Anyway, the federal government has money, and it won’t be spent until it’s in vain.
Kai actually didn't think too much about it, after all, there were too many twists and turns behind it. He was simply out for a walk.
Egypt...this is the place where Kai fought.
But this place is completely different from back then.
Those magnificent cities and pyramids built by the Egyptian gods have disappeared in the long river of history, leaving nothing behind.
The pyramids built by the Egyptians later looked magnificent, but they pale into insignificance compared with those 10,000 years ago. The pyramids in Egypt now exist as mausoleums, but those pyramids back then were functional buildings with practical functions.
You may not believe it, but those pyramids are considered power stations of the Egyptian Protoss, and they are solar powered!
However, the miraculous thing is that their utilization rate of solar energy is very high. The energy generated by a pyramid is far more than that of today's nuclear power plants... Kai didn't know the principle of this. Kai was also curious at the time, but the Egyptian protoss obviously did not Intending to share their technology, they simply told him that it was because of the power of the sun god Ra.
Kai just pretended to believe it.
To be honest, modern Egypt is not interesting at all. This place actually has little to do with ancient Egypt, or even ancient Egypt. Both the people and the culture here are completely different.
Modern Egyptians are very different from ancient Egyptians in terms of blood. The ancient Egyptians were closer to the Near Eastern race, not African blacks or Arabs. The main ethnic group in modern Egypt is the Arabs, who are not descendants of the ancient Egyptians. Since the time of the ancient Roman Empire, ancient Egypt has been invaded by foreigners many times. Under the rule of foreigners, the religion, language, customs and habits of the ancient Egyptians gradually changed beyond recognition.
At the same time, Egypt's economy and culture are in a mess, causing the cities here to look crowded and dilapidated.
The city of Cairo is yellow, with yellow earth-colored buildings arranged in complex geometric shapes. There is a big gap between Cairo Airport and imagination (this gap between imagination and reality will appear at any time in the future). I originally thought that the construction level of the airport in a big city like Istanbul would be similar. In fact, it is equivalent to a third-tier city in China. level, and with few flights, the entire airport was deserted.
Another impression is that of crowding. The oases on both sides of the Nile are filled with houses, and there is almost no other space. The Cairo metropolitan area has a population of 21.3 million, which is about the same as the New York metropolitan area, but its area is far different from the New York metropolitan area. All the space in this city has been filled by the rapidly growing population. There are densely packed and disorderly buildings everywhere. More than 95% of the population lives in dilapidated communities without modern public facilities. Among the world's major cities, Cairo has the largest number of poor people and the worst environment.
Because of poverty and rapid population growth, Egypt simply cannot provide so many employment opportunities.
Walking on the street, you will find children (the future unemployed army), idle youths, and middle-aged people doing backbreaking jobs such as picking up garbage, repairing, and porters. There are not many decent jobs in the entire city.
But even so, you still can't feel the vitality of this city, as if it is a city that is gradually being swallowed by the Sahara, lifeless...
Kai couldn't find any trace of the afterglow of the Egyptian civilization in this city, as if the splendid civilization of the Egyptian gods had never been here.
Kai and the cover girl were sitting on a rickshaw, wandering around Cairo aimlessly. This kind of rickshaw is actually a tricycle, but it has many Egyptian-style decorations on it, making it a special means of transportation.
However, when passing the Egyptian Museum, the cover girl suddenly whispered in Kai's ear.
"Someone is following us."
Kai was stunned, he didn't realize it.
"Do you know who it is?" Kai's mind had been haunted by memories of the past, and he didn't even notice that he was being followed.
"have no idea."
Cover Girl shook her head.
Egypt is not a peaceful place, especially in recent years. Egypt also had its glory days. Back then, Egypt was the big brother in the Arab world. They even thought about forming an Arab republic (first merging with Syria, and then trying to get other countries to join, but they broke up within two years). When Nasser was in power, Egypt was the most powerful and powerful big brother in the Middle East.
But since the defeat of the war with Israel and the death of Nasser, the dream of becoming a great power has been completely shattered.
Egypt has been in decline ever since.
The strong contrast caused domestic religious forces to begin to rise. As a result, Egypt has been in chaos in recent years.
It was also because of the chaos that Cairo once again became a battleground between various forces.
There is something for everyone. A messy bunch.
But generally speaking, these people are not likely to offend Americans, except for those religious extremists.
"Probably those religious extremists."
…
In the dark, three men with calm faces looked at the injured Kai and the cover girl in the rickshaw silently. There was a faint light flashing in his eyes.
But soon, these people turned around and disappeared into the streets.
When they appeared again, they were in an underground ruins in Egypt.
The ruins look like some sort of temple. But there are no idols around. It looks strange for a temple to have no statue of the god.
In the center of the temple, next to a circular altar, a man with long hair and bare feet was inserting a cane on the altar. The two crocodile head statues on the handle of the cane are constantly emitting purple light, which doesn't look like a good thing.
After the three men saw him, they immediately planned to come forward and report.
But just as they stepped forward, two men with guns came out from behind the huge stone pillars of the temple and stopped them.
The two men shook their heads at them.
Only then did the three people realize that at some point, many people were already around. They were as quiet as ghosts, just staring at the man next to the altar with pious and fervent eyes.
The man turned a blind eye to all this, but took out a kettle and a glass. He placed the glass on the altar and filled it with water.
The man rubbed his fingers along the rim of the glass and whispered something in his mouth.
After his fingers stopped, he picked up the cup and drank the water inside. Then he took out a piece of linen and carefully wrapped the glass.
Snapped!
The double-headed crocodile's palm fell hard, shattering the wrapped glass.
Then a woman came respectfully to the man holding a pair of leather sandals.
The man carefully lifted up the cloth wrapped with glass fragments and poured all the glass fragments inside into the sandals.
Then he put on his sandals as if nothing had happened.
The people around were not surprised by this scene, and it seemed that it was taken for granted.
Soon, the ceremony began.
Well, the opening words are similar to those of most cults, about the world being filthy, and about believing in me to gain eternal life and salvation. In short, it is the same, not surprising.
There are many cults in the United States.
There are many around the world. There are all kinds of weird teachings.
Especially in recent years, cults have been experiencing explosive growth. There is no way around it. There have been so many weird things in recent years, and gods have come out. As a result, cults have become a hot topic. Business, all kinds of messy cults came out.
The purpose is basically the same, to defraud money and sex. Of course there are exceptions, and these are the real troubles.
Most of the cults around the world are disguised as Christianity, but this is obviously not the case here.
They believe in a god named Amit and believe that he can eliminate all evil in the world. Amit will eventually clean up the entire dirty world and make the world peaceful and peaceful.
If Kai were here, he would know what Amit really is.
Amit is not a god and is not worshiped. It is more like a weapon of destruction made by the Egyptian gods. Used to destroy those who dare to break the rules of the gods.
According to the tradition of the ancient Egyptians, the Egyptian gods put the characteristics of what people considered the most dangerous beast on its body, the head of a crocodile, the upper body of a lion (or leopard), and the lower body of a hippopotamus.
Although it is a demon, it destroys evil.
Kai knew better. Amit had died many years ago.
During the Set rebellion, Amit was released by the gods to deal with Set, but was killed by Set. The bodies were decomposed and dumped in the wilderness.
What happened next is not very clear. It seems that after the Seth rebellion ended, Amit's body was collected. As for whether it was repaired or buried directly, I really don't know.
I didn’t expect that in modern times, there is still such a thing as faith.
This thing has no self-awareness. There are only two kinds of people in its eyes. The guilty ones will be devoured, while the innocent ones will be ignored.
As for what the standard is.
have no idea!
After the ceremony progressed to a certain level, the man came to the front of the altar with his cane, facing all the believers.
"Who's coming up then?"
The believers looked at the man in the center of the temple with both longing and fear.
"Me!" A man raised his hand with courage.
The people around him immediately looked at him and separated a path for the man to walk towards the altar.
As he passed the crowd, everyone touched their foreheads, bowed slightly and pointed their fingers at the man as a sign of respect.
The man walked to the altar.
The cult investment man also rolled up his sleeves at this time, revealing the scale tattoo on his right arm.
The man lowered his head and handed his hands to the cult leader.
The cult leader looked very gentle and gave the male believer an encouraging smile.
"You are very brave. Before our goddess awakens, you are willing to accept the trial of your soul and devote yourself to our gods."
Then he placed his double-headed crocodile palm in the middle of the male believer's hand. With the cane swinging gently, he held the male believer's hands again. At the same time, the tattoos on the arms of the cult leader also started to swing!
Then the man shouted something in a language that no one understood.
As the man shouted, his cane and tattoo stopped swinging at the same time.
The scale tattoo on the arm maintained balance and then turned green!
The cult leader happily shouted to his followers: "Congratulations, you are a good person!"
When the male believer got the answer, he immediately let out a big sigh of relief and shed tears.
The cult leader hugged the believer and gave him some words of encouragement.
The other believers also gave the man kind and envious smiles.
Then there was an old woman. She obviously had some obsession with this ritual, and she was eager to get answers.
She said she had never done a bad thing in her life. She wants to know if she is being kind.
However, the answer is cruel. One side of the tattoo on the man's arm is heavier... and the tattoo turns red.
The cult leader looked very sad. He kept saying sorry to the old woman.
The old woman said sadly that she was a good person.
"I believe in you, I completely believe in you. But the scale of judgment knows everything, and maybe those bad things will happen in the future... How I hope you can survive and see the world we created, a brand new world without sin."
The old woman was equally sad, and then her body suddenly decayed, and her originally rosy complexion suddenly turned gray, as if her life force had been sucked away in an instant.
The cult leader sadly tried to grab the old woman's hand, but the old woman fell down and was carried out by people on the side.
Then several more people came forward to be judged.
Some are considered good people, while others suffer the same fate as the old woman.
But the remaining believers seemed very calm about this. Those who were considered good people were encouraged and envied by everyone. If someone is considered a bad guy, everyone will express sadness and regret, but that's all. When the ceremony is almost done.
The three people who were stopped arrived at the side of the cult leader smoothly.
"Master... we have found the best sacrifice for the goddess' resurrection."
