Stealing Game

Chapter 111 Taking Chaos as Order
"You know what?" I grabbed Patrick by the collar.

"Don't pester people if they don't want to talk, don't you understand this kind of thing?" Stephanie popped up.

I stared vigilantly at the gun in her hand, and from the corner of my eye I looked at the people who were rushing past when I sensed something was wrong.A hero does not suffer from immediate losses.I let go of Patrick and took a few steps back, but kept my eyes on his face.

Stephanie turned her gun triumphantly.

Suddenly, the Egyptologist who concealed countless secrets said: "Everything is constant, and no one can get eternity from time without paying a price."

Angrily, Stee raised his gun at Patrick and shot her. I subconsciously rushed to knock her away, and the two of them fell to the ground together.Stephanie was frightened and angry and wanted to hit me twice. I pressed on top of her and held down her hand holding the gun, and hit her face hard a few times.

People had already surrounded her, and even if she wanted to kill her now, Stephanie's bullets would not be enough.I waited for them to subdue Stephanie, regardless of the bloody taste in my mouth, and immediately went to find Patrick.But he had disappeared, leaving only a pool of blood by the wall.

It turned out that Patrick was hit by Stephanie's bullet, hit the wall in front of him, and then passed through the wall.

"What does he mean?" Meng Weiqing looked at the place where Patrick disappeared.

Stephanie pretended to be calm: "Who knows what these old pedants are thinking."

Meng Weiqing didn't ask any more questions, and looked thoughtfully at the pool of blood on the ground, then at Boothwell.The latter gave a wink to all the dogs.A long-haired man with eyeliner stood up and tentatively reached into the wall that had swallowed Patrick, only to find that he was unharmed.So he made up his mind and stepped in. After waiting for a while, everyone heard his voice coming from the other end indistinctly:
"Safety."

People walked in one after another.Stephanie, who killed the two Egyptologists, was finally no longer allowed to act with the team, and Boothwell ordered two people to stay and watch her.I glanced at Stephanie, who was tied up but didn't care at all, and followed 279 into the wall.

Patrick wasn't there.The blood that hadn't dried up went all the way into the chaos, and it seemed that even if he didn't die, he was still seriously injured.

I was relieved not to see Patrick's body.He only said that vague sentence just now, and Stephanie was going to kill him, so this sentence was very important.However, I couldn't figure out what Patrick was trying to express, and I didn't understand why he would say this even though he knew there would be danger.Patrick must be found, he must have a lot of facts we need to know.

I told Li Yuan that the ore in Atlantis was probably in Patrick's hands.

He nodded. "Follow the team, don't act alone, there are weirdness here."

"I have something to ask Patrick."

"Just wait in the crowd and don't go anywhere." After speaking, Li Yuan, Morgan and others accompanied Alex and Teacher Bai to find the injured.

I rolled my eyes towards Chaos in front of me, and then I didn't care about getting angry with Li Yuan.

There is something quirky about this place.The space is surrounded by walls, but the air is very fresh. The walls are covered with mirrors, but nothing can be illuminated. There are no lamps or candles, but it is bright. It feels like there are lights in all directions.But apart from the things here itself, the teammates can't see each other clearly, it feels like being trapped under a blurred lens.This is also the reason why everyone has not been able to find Patrick even though there is light.And here, none of us have shadows.

The second is that the furnishings here make no sense.

There are beast-shaped bronze statues of Horus and Thoth at the door. This is the first pair of statues we saw in the cave.What should be restored should be the scene of crowning the Pharaoh. This action is usually completed by priests with falcon heads and egret heads, but these two statues express the god himself, because wearing a crown symbolizes God and is an animal. Body.Yet their heads do not match their bodies.

The head of a falcon grows on the body of a wolf, the body of a crocodile matches the head of a dung beetle, and the head of a ram rests on a frog, etc.Misplaced placements like this abound here, and as far as the eye can see, there is no god with all beards and tails.

"It feels like someone is doing a crazy experiment here." Arno said, patting the bronze statue of a cat with a head of a sheep.

I looked for the sound and turned my head away.I can clearly hear Arno's voice, and I can see the stitch monster beside him, but I can't see his appearance clearly.Similarly, when Arno looked at me, he was looking at nothing.

The surrounding bronze statues are indeed like Yanuo said, just like the evil human laboratory of the Japanese devils.It's just that the ancient Egyptians were not as perverted as they were, so I was even more puzzled by what I saw.

What were the ancient Egyptians who created these chaos thinking at that time? Aren't they committed to creating and supporting order?
In ancient Egyptian mythology, most gods had a common goal: to sustain Maat, the goddess of truth, whose feathers are used in the Necronomicon to judge the dead.This is the overall order and central principle of Egyptian religion, but the presence of some gods interferes with Ma'at.For example, Apep, who ambushed us before, is the power of chaos, and Seth is a god who can fight against chaos and consolidate the forces of chaos.

And being favored by the gods was an important part of ancient civilizations.The gods are always on the side of the winner, because the winner is chosen by the gods.

Our country's list of gods tells that in the battle of Shang and Zhou, King Zhou was punished by God because of his "indifference", and Shang was finally destroyed by Zhou; the Trojan War described in Homer's epic [Iliad] was also caused by Troy being spurned by the gods And the failure has been written long ago; let alone in ancient Egyptian mythology.Pharaoh represented justice and order, his enemies were chaos and defeat.This is a very important point in the Egyptian worldview, and the gods are on the side of the pharaoh.Pharaoh followed order and had justice, so he was victorious, while those who opposed Pharaoh were those who represented chaos and evil, and they would eventually be eliminated.

Creating and maintaining order in chaos was the most important function of the Egyptian gods.After all, in ancient Egypt, the loss of order was simply unimaginable.In the most important texts, the ancient Egyptians aspired to be as recurring as the sun god and as constant as the dead Osiris.

The Egyptians believed that the sun would protect them.But since entering the temple, I have seen countless gods, and now I have even seen the arrangement and combination of gods, but I have never seen the sun god.

Try to conceive a world:
The sun god was killed by Apophis, and the sun did not rise the next day.The waters of the Nile ceased to flow, crops ceased to grow, and everything that had been taken for granted ceased to exist.The person you love is actually an alien in her skin, and you yourself are just a clone of a revenant from thousands of years ago.

But with order, these worries will not exist. This is the power of order.But where we are, the gods themselves are chaos.Anubis's head grows on Isis's body, which is simply unreasonable.And time and space are also chaotic, and all the constructions of ancient Egypt have been broken.

What we are facing is a disorderly ancient Egypt.
