Chapter 1219: The Pilgrim

Zhang Zian was not at all surprised to meet Li Pete. After all, they had agreed to meet at the Bedouin tribe today, and Siwa was the only way and the last stop on the way to the Bedouin tribe.

Behind this Land Cruiser, there are several other identical cars, obviously all members of the Space Information Society are driving.

"No need, I still have to wait for the members of the scientific expedition team, they won't arrive until a while later." Zhang Zian shook his head and refused.

He doesn't have a good impression of these gods, but in fact, they haven't done anything bad or outrageous, it's just that their brain circuits are different from ordinary people. More moderate, this is a common expression of people who have firm beliefs in their hearts.

If he met them in daily life, he wouldn't care too much about them at all, and he might just laugh them off. Anyway, it has nothing to do with him, but if they want to enter the dangerous desert together, the nature of the teammates is very important.

"All of you going?" He counted the number of cars and asked.

"No, there is a doctor among our members. We had a physical examination yesterday, and the few people with poor physical fitness were left behind, and the rest went into the desert together." Li Pitt poked his head out and whistled to the cars behind.

"Come on, take this opportunity and let's get to know each other."

Six people stepped down from the car behind, five men and one woman, from different countries and with different skin colors. As Lipett said, these six people are in their prime of life, both physically and mentally. on the peak.

Zhang Zian had seen them before, but he didn't know their names.

"I'm a consul. I used to be in politics. Hello, little comrade." A middle-aged man with a Mediterranean haircut introduced himself first, and the first thing he said was the bureaucratic accent that high-ranking leaders often use.

Zhang Zian was startled, thinking that this person had really been a diplomat before, but why didn't this person say his name?

Immediately afterwards, the other five spoke in the same format, calling themselves priest, colonel, poet, and scholar respectively, and the only woman in the team called herself a detective.

The female detective has a certain temperament similar to Sun Xiaomeng, but she is about ten years older than Sun Xiaomeng. She is probably the doctor Lipett just mentioned. She calls herself a detective, does that mean she is in charge of detecting the human body?

Several other people also have characteristics similar to their self-proclaimed identities. For example, the colonel's eyes and movements all indicate that he is a former soldier, while the curly hair of the poet is very romantic, and the scholar wears thick myopia. Glasses, it looks a bit like Wei Kang, and the priest has a solemn expression.

Strangely, none of them introduced their names.

The more Zhang Zian listened, the more confused he became. Just as he was about to ask, he saw the invisible π gesturing to him quietly.

He has been with π for a long time, and π often asks him for opinions on novels, so he is familiar with π's gestures. He saw it spread its hands flat, like an open book, and then gestured with its mouth. Type, it seems to be conveying some kind of information to him.

wait!

Consul, priest, colonel, poet, scholar and detective, is this strange combination...

Zhang Zian's heart suddenly brightened, and he guessed the other party's intentions at once.

After they introduced themselves, Li Pete observed Zhang Zian's reaction with a smile on his lips.

Zhang Zian turned his eyes, stared at Lipit as well, and said calmly, "Then, you must be a saint."

"Haha! Bro, you guessed it!"

Lippett laughed, and the others smiled back.

Consul, priest, colonel, poet, scholar, detective and saint, isn't this combination the pilgrim's team in the science fiction novel Hyperion? It's quite pretentious!

Just like the team of pilgrims in "Hyperion" went through untold hardships to make a pilgrimage to the pyramid-shaped Time Tomb, Lipett and the others used the same occupation as their code name,

It shows that they have a similar purpose-to find the pyramid deep in the desert, hoping to find a great secret comparable to the anti-entropy field.

Zhang Zian had this set of novels at home, and he showed them to π, and he himself had read them a long time ago, but if it wasn't for π's reminder, he probably wouldn't have connected Lipett and the others with this science fiction novel.

He quickly recalled that he couldn't remember many details in the novel. He only remembered that the background was against the background of the doomsday prophecy. secret.

What impressed him the most was the Tomb of Time mentioned in the novel.

The time tomb is shaped like a pyramid, surrounded by time-reversing entropy, and travels against the current in the long river of time.

According to the prophecy, when the Tomb of Time is opened, the Lord of Mourning will come out of the tomb. It comes from the other side beyond time, and its purpose is to declare the end of mankind.

To be honest, the narrative of this set of novels is very obscure. It is a typical physical book style, suitable for hypnosis before going to bed, not the cool style of online literature. But out of curiosity about the secrets of the Tomb of Time, I endured until the end. As a result, the novel stopped abruptly as soon as the pilgrims arrived at the valley where the Tomb of Time was located.

As for the next few sequels, he didn't even have any interest in flipping through them. He regretted buying a set in one go, wasting money.

However, when he showed this set of books to π, he originally wanted it to pass the time slowly, but in the end he read it with gusto, and he finished it quickly, and he also read the sequel, which made him wonder about the fun in it Where.

Apart from being obscure and difficult to understand, this book gives Zhang Zian the feeling that the thing called Time Tomb is very unscientific. According to the description in the novel, it should connect the past and the future. What kind of technological level can create This kind of thing?

This should be a fantasy novel, right?

only……

If he was asked to read the novel again now, he might not dare to make a judgment.

He glanced at the invisible Xinghai.

Something less scientific than the Time Tombs lay ahead.

Coupled with the strange sunset last night and Richard's experience of retribution after blasphemy...

Therefore, it is okay to judge whether there is something without seeing or hearing it?

He didn't know whether the Tomb of Time could really exist, but even so, he was sure that even if there was a pyramid deep in the desert, it should be just an ordinary pyramid, and there couldn't be any mysterious things like pure cosmic energy inside. Will disappoint Lipett.
