Chapter 60 The Bayer Family

There was a noise outside the tent.

I went out with my notes and saw that everyone was busy preparing barbecue.

Yano held up his GoPro and walked around like a hyena, and interacted with fans from time to time. If it weren't for the fact that Egypt didn't allow it, I think he would have wanted to take out his drone.

After taking a round of photos, Arnold was excited to join the barbecue party. But now was the critical period of gathering the ingredients, and people thought he was causing trouble and sent him away.

Alex sat alone on the edge of the camp watching the sunset.

The warm light of the setting sun caressed her wet blond hair, as if it was helping her dry her hair. There is a huge temperature difference between morning and night in the desert, and the presence or absence of sunlight can basically vary by a season. But Alex didn't seem to care.

Li Yuanlou, Shiqi and the others wisely found a place out of the way and sat down, drinking beer and enjoying the breeze, which felt quite moisturizing. Although I was a little bored, I couldn't help but smile when I saw this.

Several people moved their buttocks to make room for me.

Jiang Can continued to tell a ghost story he had heard, and He Rongchuan made up for the past relationship in a few words.

Lou Shiqi sneezed.

These people all wore relatively cool clothes, and it looked like they had sat on the floor after taking a shower. Jiang Can was only wearing a vest and shorts, and reminded Lou Shiqi with a proud and kind smile: "If it's cold, put on some clothes when you go back, so you don't catch a cold."

Li Yuan and He Rongchuan handed Lou Shiqi a pack of napkins at the same time, and the latter smiled sheepishly.

"Hey Yuechen, how's your arm? Didn't you touch the water when you took a shower?" Jiang Can asked belatedly.

Li Yuan moved his arm in front of him. "It's okay, just a minor injury."

He wore a shirt over his T-shirt, so I couldn't tell the condition of the wound. But I knew that there must not even be a mark on his arm.

Lou Shiqi opened his mouth and was about to say something when Han Jiangxue came over. She came to ask Lou Shiqi and He Rongchuan to draw a map.

I also just realized that I had brought a printer and a generator with me on this trip. No wonder lights were lit one after another in the camp.

Before leaving the front building, Qi's thoughts were still lingering and he had not finished listening to the story.

Jiang Can was very proud: "I will continue to tell you when we eat!" Then he was also dragged to work by Ding Zhe.

Li Yuan and I are the only ones left here.

The sky was dark, and the dense dark light seemed to crush people to death.

I hate dusk very much.

Li Yuan looked away from the setting sun and looked at me: "What's wrong? Your face is drooping."

I have so many things going on in my mind right now, but I don’t know what to say to him. So I just told him what Meng Weiqing told me at the Temple of Set, and also told him about the old man in the village who sent a notebook for Old Blake.

My son said it.

Li Yuan nodded and stared at me for a while, as if waiting for me to continue.

I took a few deep breaths and then asked him: "Aren't you worried? Do you know what your blood will be used for?"

Until now, I am still enveloped by the feeling in the Temple of Set. What if the blood of the sacrifice was really used to resurrect something?

Li Yuan did not answer this question. He asked me: "What are you worried about?"

I frowned and felt confused: "I'm worried that some strange things will be resurrected!"

Li Yuan held a handful of sand, let go, and let the sand slowly flow to the ground.

"It may be a little late to worry now."

"So you do know."

I didn't say anything else, I just took out Old Black's notes.

Li Yuan swallowed back the rest of his words calmly, took the notebook and read it.

Because I have already watched it once, I watched it again this time following Li Yuan's rhythm. He didn't read it quickly, and there were some pauses in the middle.

After reading them all, Li Yuan thought for a while: "Actually, I am a little confused about Hassan and the others. If it is like Qi Tian said, the connection between the golden seal and prehistoric civilization was discovered by Ali, but this has nothing to do with the relationship between the Hassan brothers and sisters.

What’s the connection with transformation?”

This is actually something I didn’t want to understand. Is it something that has always been passed down or did it all start with the French Oriental Archaeological Team?

What did that inscription that was erased say?

The conjecture of Old Blake and the French archaeological team is that no matter what was written at the beginning, the priest group and the Pharaoh later separated. Therefore, it is possible that the inscription was crossed out because it was not in the interest of the visitor.

But in this case, Hassan and others were not sure which one to believe, so why did they suddenly pour blood on them?

"There are too many things that are wrong. Let's take a step at a time. Didn't Sir Black say that if you know too much, you won't be able to play anymore."

Li Yuan is really big-hearted.

I thought so. And maybe when I see the scenes in those notes later, the clues recorded by Old Black can be put together.

I even wonder if the last few pages of the notebook were torn up by Old Black himself?

"You said that today at the Temple of Set, people in the village said that a white man came back twelve years ago?" Li Yuan asked suddenly.

I said yes.

He pondered for a while: "It's not unreasonable to say that I came here by chance. But if I really came back from the desert, then I have to consider an issue."

If that person comes back, where is he now and what does he want to do?

There is also something mentioned in Old Blake's notes.

In the Temple of Set, the blood of the Jewish German Ludwig Beyer also worked. The German gave Bruce Black a pocket watch and said that the pocket watch could guide him to the temple in the desert.

The pocket watch was made from a magnet that Beyer's ancestors had discovered on Crete last century, which contained a piece of blood amber. That time changed the fate of the Beyer family, making this wandering family firmly attached to the island.

.

Old Black finally felt that there was something wrong with Beyer. This might be a reflection of a profit-seeker who was finally transformed.

When I saw this, I discovered that Beyer, the former owner of the Egypt Exploration Society, also participated in the excavations sixty years ago. And if nothing unexpected happened, this Ludwig Beyer should be Alex’s grandfather. 10

Two years ago, Alex's parents took the same path into the desert and used the piece of blood amber to attract a storm. Now Alex, who has returned from Antarctica, is in our team again.

This can't be a coincidence.

But why is there no trace of Beyer in Sir Black's narrative? Is it because this person is insignificant, so there is no need to mention it. Or is it because there is something worthy of our exploration in him, so we deliberately left this person out?

Let us explore the doubts?

After reading Old Black's notes, I felt a little disappointed. I felt that the help for the road ahead was limited, and more problems were created out of thin air.

Suppose there is no need for Old Black to lie in his notes, and everything recorded in them is true. Under this premise, if the last few pages are not reversed, then someone among the people who told us the story must have lied. Lord Black,

Mustafa or the Egyptian villager I met today.

I tend to think that Sir Black didn't lie, otherwise there would be no reason for him to let me get this notebook. Unless he just wanted me to doubt some people or something.

Based on these records, it is obvious that someone is lying.

What was recorded in that temple was not a treasure at all, but an evil ritual. This ritual had to be performed in a specific place, and none of the people who performed the ritual could come back.

Old Black probably didn't know anything at the time, but Beyer probably knew something.

Li Yuan flipped back from the torn pages, but they were all blank. When he turned to one of the pages, another person's notes appeared on it.

"When I stare at this desert, what I see is the ocean."

I'm not very sensitive to handwriting, but it's surprisingly familiar.

Li Yuan stretched out his finger and wrote a sentence on the sand.

"After completing the sacrifice to the Sun God, the oracle will come."

I stared at the line of words and murmured: "Dr. White."

I looked at Li Yuan. To my surprise, besides being solemn, Li Yuan's eyes seemed to be somewhat clear.

Just when I was about to ask for details, A Tian sent me Beyer’s information.

"Want to see it?" I asked Li Yuan. "Information exchange"

He rolled his eyes helplessly. "I'm not hiding anything from you, these are just conjectures."

But I didn't let go.

It wasn't until Li Yuan agreed to tell me everything he knew, whether it was true or false, that I sent him a copy of the information Qi Tian found.

It contains Beyer's information.

This man was a well-known collector in the last century, but no one knew where his wealth came from. He fled to the United States with his assets during World War II, and he played the identity politics card very successfully.

In addition, there are some records that his ancestors found in Crete, as well as clues that the family members dug into the ruins in the following century.

Seeing this, we roughly understand how the Beyer family is related to the magnetic field. It is possible that there is also a stone with a magnetic field in Crete, that is, the piece of blood amber, which changed by accident.

The fate of this family also brought Alex here.

I was watching Li Yuan draw a character relationship diagram on the sand, and when I looked up, I saw Alex standing next to the name Beyer.

Li Yuan, this cheater, actually writes in German.

Alex asked me what Li Yuan and I were doing.

I looked at Li Yuan.

This guy kicked the ball to me.

"He gave you the notes, and your friend checked the information." He said in Chinese.

I hesitated for a moment and gave Old Black's notes to Alex.

Alex recognized the surname Bayer. After reading it, she was silent for a while, and then told me the story of her parents.

It turned out that her mother Levana was the kind of woman who was full of wind and nothing could stop her. Until one time when Alex fell ill, her mother actually left her hospital bed and went looking for something.

It seems that chasing is always more important than staying.

I really want to tell her that her mother may have done this for her. Her grandfather was the one who concealed everything and harmed others and himself. Although he spent his whole life repaying it.

But I don’t have much to talk about.

Li Yuan said nothing. If there is anyone here who can understand Alex's feelings best, it is him.

Maybe these two unlucky kids need some time to exchange their thoughts and experiences, so I'm going to retreat.

At this time, I heard someone shouting: "Look back!"

We follow the sound.

Arnold ran over holding his GoPro.

"Look at the sunset!" After saying that, he sat down next to Li Yuan.

So we turned back and watched the sun set.

“I’ve watched the sunset a thousand times and still find it beautiful,” Arnold chanted.

Under the afterglow, the desert is as gorgeous as flames.

A ray of sunshine caressed a scar on Li Yuan's ankle.

It’s time to explain the backgrounds of the protagonists and their connection with the magnetic field.
