Chapter 1112: Egypt and the Cult (Please Give Me a Monthly Ticket!! Please Subscribe!! Please Recommend!!)

Kai stayed in Egypt for five days. His first mission was to see old friends. He and Hawke had not seen each other for several years. In order to form this special forces unit, Hawke had been out of contact with the outside world for a long time. Even his family didn't know where he was. Fortunately, this guy is not married, otherwise the cliffs would turn into green grasslands. Foreign women are not so loyal.

The second mission is to have a good vacation.

After arriving in Egypt, except for the first day when he strolled around the base, the rest of the time he hugged the girl and played around Egypt.

It is obvious that they are fleecing 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 and indulge it. For the US military, fleecing the federal wool is a compulsory course for every general. For example, a major general of the National Guard, his wife went to Los Angeles to spend money and spent more than 100,000 US dollars a day. As a result, these bills were reimbursed by the major general as training ammunition loss.

This is of course a very low-end way of playing, but this situation is very common in the upper echelons of the US military. There are those high-end players who do a beautiful accounting and have no problems at all, and they can take a lot of benefits into their arms, and others can't even check.

The good thing about the US military is that everything is not transparent! Obviously, anyone can see that there is a problem with the account, but if someone says it is a military secret, everyone can only stare blankly.

In short, there are many ways to play, but you can't escape the fact of fleecing.

It's great for them that Kai and Ken go along with the crowd. After all, they are superheroes, and excessive sense of justice has always been the most taboo thing for politicians and military officers. They can't be sure whether these guys with excessive sense of justice will target them. After all, they themselves know that their behavior has absolutely nothing to do with justice.

Why is Kai welcomed by all parties? Because he only focuses on his own business, and he is not interested in other messy things. For those masters, this is the best. Now Kai is blatantly fleecing, which shows that everyone is on the same side. At least in this way, they don't need to worry about Kai doing something to them, and everything can be discussed.

Anyway, the federal government has money, so it's a waste if it doesn't spend it.

Kai didn't think too much about it, after all, there are too many twists and turns behind it. He just came out to take a look.

Egypt... This is where Kai fought back then.

But it's completely different from what it was back then.

The 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 compared with those ten thousand years ago, they were dwarfed by the giants. Now these pyramids in Egypt exist as tombs, while those pyramids back then were functional buildings with practical uses.

You may not believe it, but those pyramids are considered power stations of the Egyptian gods, and they are solar-powered!

However, the magical thing is that they have a very high utilization rate of solar energy. The energy generated by a pyramid far exceeds that of today's nuclear power plants... Kai didn't know what the principle was. Kai was curious at the time, but the Egyptian gods obviously didn't intend to share their technology, but just told him that it was because of the power of the sun god Ra.

Kai just believed it.

To be honest, modern Egypt is nothing to see. It has little to do with ancient Egypt, or even ancient Egypt. Both the people and the culture here are very different.

Modern Egyptians are very different from ancient Egyptians in terms of blood. Ancient Egyptians are closer to the Near Eastern race, not African blacks or Arabs. The main ethnic group in modern Egypt is Arabs, who are not descendants of ancient Egyptians. Since the Roman Empire, ancient Egypt has been invaded by foreign races many times. Under the rule of foreign races, the religion, language and customs of the ancient Egyptians have gradually changed beyond recognition.

At the same time, Egypt's economy and culture are in a mess, making the city here crowded and dilapidated.

Cairo is yellow, with loess-colored buildings arranged in complex geometric shapes. Cairo Airport is very different from imagination (this gap between imagination and reality will appear at any time in the future). I thought it would be similar to the construction level of airports in large cities of similar size like Istanbul. In fact, it is equivalent to the level of third-tier cities in China, and there are few flights, and the entire airport is empty.

Another impression is that it is crowded. The oases on both sides of the Nile are full of 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 population of the New York metropolitan area, but its area is far less than that of the New York metropolitan area. All the space in this city has been filled with 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 metropolises, 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 job opportunities.

Walking on the street, you will find that the streets are full of big children (the future unemployed army), idle young people, and middle-aged people doing hard work such as picking up garbage, repairing, and porting. There are not many decent jobs in the whole 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 brilliant civilization of the Egyptian gods had never been here.

Kai and the cover girl sat on a rickshaw and wandered around Cairo aimlessly. This kind of rickshaw is actually a tricycle, but it has many Egyptian-style decorations on it, which is considered a special means of transportation.

However, when passing by the Egyptian Museum, the cover girl suddenly whispered in Kai's ear.

"Someone is following us."

Kai was stunned, he didn't even notice.

"Do you know who it is?" Kai's mind had been lingering with past memories, and he didn't notice that he was being followed at all.

"I don't know."

The cover girl shook her head.

Egypt is not a peaceful place, especially in recent years. Egypt was also glorious in the past. Back then, Egypt was the big brother of the Arab world. It even thought about forming an Arab Republic (first merged with Syria, and then wanted to pull other countries to join, but it broke up in less than two years). When Nasser was in power, Egypt was once very powerful, a true big brother in the Middle East.

But since the failure of the war with Israel and Nasser's death, the dream of a great power has been completely shattered.

Egypt has been going downhill since then.

The strong contrast has caused the domestic religious forces to rise. As a result, Egypt has been in chaos in recent years.

It is also because of the chaos that Cairo has once again become a wrestling field for various forces.

There are all kinds of people. A mess.

But generally speaking, these people are unlikely to provoke Americans, except for those religious extremists.

"Probably those religious extremists."

...

In the dark, three calm-looking men silently looked at the injured Kai and the cover girl in the rickshaw. There was a faint light flashing in their eyes.

But soon, these people turned their heads and disappeared on the street.

When they appeared again, they were in an underground ruins in Egypt.

This ruins looks like a temple. But there are no statues around. It looks very strange that a temple has no statues.

In the center of the temple, beside a circular altar, a barefoot man with long hair was inserting a cane into the altar. The two crocodile head statues on the handle of the cane were constantly emitting purple light, which looked like a bad thing.

When the three men saw him, they immediately planned to 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.

The three men realized that many people had come around at some point. They were quiet like ghosts, just staring at the man beside the altar with pious and fanatical eyes.

The man ignored all this and took out a kettle and a glass. He placed the glass on the altar and then filled it with water.

The man rubbed his fingers along the rim of the glass while muttering something in his mouth.

After his fingers stopped, he picked up the glass and drank the water in it. Then he took out a piece of linen and carefully wrapped the glass.

Snap!

The two-headed crocodile's palm fell hard, shattering the wrapped glass cup.

Then a woman came to the man respectfully holding a pair of leather sandals.

The man carefully lifted the cloth wrapped with glass fragments and poured all the glass fragments into the leather sandals.

Then he put on the sandals as if nothing had happened.

The people around were not surprised by this scene, as if it was natural.

Soon, the ceremony began.

Well, it was the same opening words as most cults, such as the filth of the world, and the eternal life and salvation of believing in me. In short, it was the same set, not surprising.

There are many cults in the United States.

There are also many in the world. There are all kinds of strange doctrines.

Especially in recent years, cults have shown explosive growth. There is no way. Who said that there have been many strange things in recent years, and there are gods and spirits running out. As a result, cults have become a business that catches the wind, and all kinds of messy cults have come out.

The purpose is basically the same, to cheat money and sex. Of course, there are exceptions, and these things are really troublesome.

Most of the cults around the world are disguised as Christianity, but this one is obviously not.

They believe in a god named Amit and believe that he can eliminate all the evils in the world. Amit will eventually clean up the entire filthy world and make the world peaceful and harmonious.

If Kai was here, he would know what Amit is.

Amit is not a god, nor is he worshipped. It is more like a weapon of destruction made by the Egyptian gods. It is 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 the most dangerous beasts on it, with a crocodile head, a lion (or leopard) on the upper body, and a hippopotamus on the lower body.

Although it is a demon, it eliminates evil.

Kai knows more. Amit died many years ago.

During the Set Rebellion, Amit was released by the gods to deal with Set, but was killed by Set. The body was decomposed and discarded in the wilderness.

Kai was not very clear about what happened afterwards. It seemed that after Set's rebellion ended, Amit's body was collected, but he didn't know whether it was repaired or buried directly.

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 scale on the man's arm is heavier... and the tattoo turns red.

The cult leader looked very sad and kept saying sorry to the old woman.

The old woman said sadly that she was a good person.

"I believe you, I completely believe you. But the scale of judgment knows everything, 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 were considered good people, while others suffered 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."
