Chapter 7: The Eye of Horus

  The "Fang Kai" on the wall is actually Fang Kai in a two-dimensional interface. He was recorded when he first entered the Huofeng Pyramid, so there was no air to hold the flashlight. Since virtual particles are conical, the reflected 2D image through a special medium is reduced by an integer multiple. Furthermore, since the 2D world is contained within the 3D world, the 2D images in different spaces can be synchronized with him.

  "So that's how it is, you really scared me, I didn't think our ancestors were so technologically advanced." Fang Kai suddenly realized and couldn't stop praising the wisdom of the people from the beginning of the destructive era. Qiao Mu Si and Pang Dong both nodded in agreement, apparently they also admired this very much.

  But then Fang Kai thought of a problem, that is, they had gone through so many cycles with great difficulty, but still stayed at the entrance of the Hu Fu golden tomb passage, this was... too embarrassing!

  He let out a wry smile and asked Yu Zi and the others, who still looked puzzled: "Since everyone has fallen into the golden pyramid cycle, how did you discover this secret? And how did you escape?" This was his greatest doubt, and he urgently needed an explanation.

  Only then did Ruo Zi give a sly smile, using her hand to prop up Joem's chin, and said: "You'll have to ask him about this."

  "Chomsky?" Fang Kai was taken aback and turned his gaze towards this New Zealander.

  Although Chomsky seemed to have returned to normal, Fang Ke always felt that there was a hint of desolation hanging on his face. Perhaps it was just his own illusion, Fang Ke shook his head, and at this time, Chomsky slowly said: "Actually, the key is here." He raised his hand and pointed to the center of the helmet, which remained motionless.

  "Lamp?" Fang Kai was taken aback, thinking what does this thing have to do with solving the mystery...

  Jiang Fangkai looked puzzled, and Qiao Mingsheng smiled and said: "Kai, you also think it's unbelievable, right? But things are just so magical. When we first entered the tomb of Huofu, you let Ruo still open the lighting lamp, which made our vision clear, gave us a direction to move forward, and prevented us from getting lost or even falling into another space.

  But you yourself didn't turn on the lights, instead taking out an air-powered flashlight and proceeding forward while shining it on the walls. This way, your body is essentially walking in the dark. The human sense of direction is very unique; when one loses visual reference, they rely purely on intuition to move forward, leading to disorientation. Moreover, humans have legs of different lengths, so when losing direction, it's easy to create a deviation in stride. Although this deviation is tiny, accumulating over time will cause the person to completely deviate from their original straight-line path. Thus, during the process of constantly looking at the map, you've gradually slipped into another space...

  "So when I turned my head, Ruo Zi and Pang Dong, as well as you, had all disappeared, but the glasses snake appeared." Before Jom could finish speaking, Fang Kai suddenly enlightened and took over.

  Jom nodded, and Fang Kai gave him a thumbs up. However, Fang Kai couldn't help but smile wryly: "I never thought that such an incredible and thrilling scene would happen to me. It seems that the road to finding the Crystal Warrior's remains won't be smooth sailing after all." Moreover, the local authorities' means of protecting the Hu Fu Pyramid were truly impressive.

  But to design such a complex mechanism, it's likely that there is an intention to cover up something. Therefore, Fang Kai was certain that one of the six remains of the Crystal Warriors should be deep within the pyramid, perhaps in the Pharaoh's coffin, or perhaps elsewhere. And inside, there must be layers and layers of mechanisms, they had to be extremely careful!

  Otherwise, I don't know how I'll die.

  Fang Kai waved his hand and asked Ruò Zǐ to take out some compressed food and water sources, distributing them among everyone. After a hearty meal and drink, the four of them set off on their journey once again!

  Standing in front of the golden pyramid, but what's different is that at this moment they have thoroughly figured out the defense system at the entrance of the tomb. Along the spatial gap, the four people performed a spatial jump according to a certain rule, and at the spatial rebound surface, they splashed a layer of antiparticle solution, making the mysterious golden pyramid circulation phenomenon flow like spring water to the east.

  In other words, the four of them finally truly entered the Great Pyramid of Giza!

  Although the virtual particle space was gone, Fang Kai still turned on the illumination lamp as a precaution. As a result, the four lamps lit up together, making the tomb passage relatively bright and white. In fact, they could have increased the brightness by another level, but the lamps were not air-powered, but solar-powered, so they had to accumulate some energy for later use.

  Along the way, I saw many records of ancient Egyptian life, farming, worship and even about life and death and souls. Pharaoh Khufu was still high above, looking down on his subjects.

  After safely turning several corners, the four of them arrived in front of a huge stone archway. The stone archway was about 4 meters high and over 2 meters wide, with no signs of joints or seams, as if it had been carved out of a single large boulder.

  On both sides of the archway are carved scenes of Taoist priests worshiping gods, but what puzzles them most is that on the top center of the archway "painted" a huge eye.

  The reason why it's called "painting" is that it's really too vivid. The eyes are all dark red, with a very strange shape, and there's a short, thick red mark at the corner of the eye, just like blood tears. Moreover, next to the red mark, there's also a mysterious hook line. Fang Kai vaguely felt that those dark red strokes were made of human blood, giving him a direct sense of crawling!

  Why such a feeling was produced, Fang Kai didn't know, but he just felt that the eye seemed to be... alive. It was bleeding and staring at these invaders with an unblinking gaze.

  In the air, a mysterious and fearful atmosphere suddenly filled.

  Fang Kai swallowed hard, his head involuntarily moving towards the round eyeball, and with just one glance, he was mesmerized, staring blankly at it, unable to look away.

  He stared at that eyeball for a long, long time... Suddenly, a bloody vortex appeared on its surface! Immediately, one by one, human-faced birds flew out of the vortex, their faces ferocious as they pecked towards his eyes. Good heavens, there were actually such strange birds in this world! Fang Ke suddenly thought of an Earth species - owls.

  But what surprised him was that these bird-faced people were not like owls, with short beaks, but had long and large beaks. Moreover, they could actually spit out retractable tongues just like frogs!

  As those disgusting tongues were about to stick to Fang Ke's eyes, he pulled out his flashlight and swung it wildly, trying to knock down these monsters. Just then, a sturdy arm wrapped around him and pulled him back. Fang Ke recognized that it was Qiao Mu's hand.

  "Hurry up, these things are ominous." Jorms' tone was heavy, Fang Kai, Ruo Zi and Pang Dong nodded in agreement, the four of them rushed into the world inside the stone archway.

  "If I'm not mistaken, that should be the Eye of Horus, the Eagle God." Zuo Zi panted as he gestured with his hands to explain to Fang Ke and the others the strange pattern they had just seen on the stone archway.

  Fat Dong scratched his head, a look of skepticism crossing his chubby face: "Horus's eye? What's that thing?" Actually, Fang Kai had some knowledge of the Egyptian eagle god, so he vaguely guessed that the pattern was Horus's eye. Of course, compared to Ru Zi's research on mythology, he was far inferior. Now that she had confirmed it with her own mouth, Fang Kai was convinced of his guess. Qiao Mu Si was a tech enthusiast and had no interest in these humanities legends, let alone studied them.

  Only then did Ru Zi take a deep breath and slowly say, "In mythology, Horus is the son of Osiris and Isis. The god Set killed Osiris, and when Horus grew up, he engaged in a life-and-death struggle with Set. In the battle, Horus's left eye was taken by Set. Both of Horus's eyes are extraordinary, his left eye represents the moon, and his right eye represents the sun. His left eye was taken, so naturally the moon god Khonsu had to lend a hand.

  On the night of the full moon, with the help of Khonsu, Horus engaged in a fierce battle with Seth. In the end, Horus defeated Seth and recovered his left eye. Later, Horus offered this recovered eye to his father, Osiris, god of the underworld. From then on, the Eye of Horus became an amulet for distinguishing good from evil, defending health and happiness, a sacred symbol.

  However, the Eye of Horus above the stone archway was a deep crimson color, giving off an extremely uncomfortable feeling. When people looked at it, they felt as if they had fallen into the depths of hell, their hair standing on end. As for what profound meaning this change in the Eye of Horus held, I wasn't quite clear about that either - perhaps it was a warning from Pharaoh Khufu to invaders." Ru Zi spoke as if telling a story, recounting the history of the Eye of Horus.

  Fang Kai was so absorbed in thought that he didn't notice Da Dong's sudden shout, which abruptly pulled him back to reality. In a fit of anger, Fang Kai loudly scolded Da Dong: "You fat idiot, what are you yelling about?!"

  Pang Dong didn't respond, only continuously shouting "Coming! Coming!" Fang Kai and Qiao Mu Si exchanged a glance, both seeing the shock in each other's eyes: Could it be that the human-faced monster had caught up?...
