Paper[/align] [align=right]-Book?[/align] [fold]“This will do.” said the man in lab coat, while staring at a machine. “Interesting, that looks like a clockwork machine, with all these gears and belts. Doesn’t seem to work in common sense though, you sure about this?” The servant standing next to the doctor-like man replied. “A piece of very fine paper is just what we need, isn’t it? You will see how amazing this machine could be. Ah, there we go.” He open the output booth of the machine then pick up the processed piece of paper. “See, close enough.” He give the paper to his fellow. After touching and feeling the paper, his servant seemed to be astonished for a few second, then said: “It indeed feels like that kind of paper, but how did it…” “That’s not something I can explain, or at least, not something I will spare my valuable time for.” After a short conversation, they nodded to the room guard and went out the room where the clockwork is kept. A few days later back to the doctor-like man’s office, he was writing, or doodling unknown symbols towards the paper. Then his servant popped in and said, “It’s all done. I’ve spoken with the department in Egypt and offered a reward. We will get some suitable candidates very soon.” “Good, I’m almost done here as well. Take a look at this.” “Oh, I see. But I still don’t understand why we need to put so much effort. I mean, I can somehow connect to those…” “Yeah, but we can’t rely on a somehow ability. And that’s why we need an expert, and the best way to find one is through a test, the test we made.” “And we have to use my city instead of just question them because…” “Some potentials won’t show themselves unless they are tested in real. Besides, it’s not likely that you will explode or something just for a one-paged add-on.” “Alright, if you say so.” “Just as I expected, an underground playground.” A month later, somewhere in the Sahara Desert. “This might not last a very long time tough. It is not an original paper anyway. I would give it four or five days… Six, if you don’t mind the slight corruption of the inner room.” “Too bad for the last candidate, seventh to be more precise. Still we might be able to wrap things up early enough if lucky.” After the discussion, the doctor-like man walked into the tent. There were already seven individuals in the tent. Among them are explorers, mercenaries, even spies and assassins, all lured by the reward and awaited an order. “Glad we are here, you should have already know the rules. Any volunteers?” [/fold] [align=center]Chapter 2. Adventure[/align] [align=right]-Test?[/align] [fold]My grandmother always told me, “Be wary, be cautious.” Considering my job as a tomb robber, this doesn’t always happen in my life. I was trained by my grandmother anyway, therefore it might be good to keep that in mind. Well this time, it is really a big deal. The reward they offer was so good that any likes of me will not be able to refuse. Luckily I passed the series of test and won my place in this tent. Seven people in the tent from all over the Egypt aim for one prize. I thought I was very unlucky for getting the last position in the line. But I was wrong, the first five people have already failed in the first five days. What happened to them, I have no idea, but no one ever came back. It could be a trap, but it is way too fancy for a trap. Through all these years travelling in Africa, I have been to almost every catacomb, every obelisk and every pyramids, yet I’ve never heard of a city like this. The city itself is not even abandoned but still alive with all the people living inside the wall. The man who offered the prize said that the existence of this city is a secret, and they will erase our memory after this adventure, but the prize will still be offered. Not that it matters anyway, I think everyone of us was enchanted by the city itself rather than the prize. I could say I would be glad to die somewhere like this, I’m sure they feel the same way, and this made everyone to take the risk despite our number is thinning. Number six took off this morning, I said “Hope you will be okay.”, but some part of me want him to fail this quest to give me a chance. It is already dusk, and night will fall very soon. It seems he has failed too, and I don’t think I can wait until tomorrow. Something in my mind never stops driving me to get out of this tent and step down stairs in to the dungeon. The prize provider says it will be dangerous to go underground at night, but I don’t care anymore. I have already packed up and am ready to go. “Oh, mighty Ra, God of the sun. Please guide me on my way forward and let me struggle through whatever difficult awaits ahead.” My grandmother insists that I should devote myself into the Ancient Egyptian Pantheon. She never told me why, but gave me an amulet before dead. I can feel the power growing inside my body every time touching it, so I took with my through all my adventure. I believe this has always brought me good fortune. Bless me, grandma, for I’m departing towards so far the greatest adventure. [/fold] [align=center]Chapter 3. Symbol[/align] [align=right]-Eye?[/align] [fold]All those twisted corridors are filled with dangerous traps. Spikes rising from the floor, poisonous fluid dropping from the ceiling, snake and scorpions hiding in the sand and arrows that comes out of nowhere, all fatal traps awaits silently for someone to trigger. They did get number four though, and the poor man just lies in the corner with an arrow in his heart. I know neither his name nor his career, naturally I looted his body and put whatever valuable into my backpack, it doesn’t seems he’s going to use those anyway. Just end his life somewhere like this, which should be an honor. Having spent several hour in the dark corridors, now I’m here in a small chamber, the first place that can be called a room. Not that it is big, but it has four wall and of course a roof. The chamber itself is slightly out of its shape and some of its supporting columns have already collapsed. I did concerned my safety issues for a while, but then realized that I’m in nowhere near a safe place the moment stepping into the entrance. I started to examine every corner of this room, the west and east wall with the entrance and exit are totally blank, only some of the scratches appears on and near both of the doors. Someone struggled to open the door apparently, but I didn’t see any corpse lying on the ground. Did he or she get out of the room in time, or the corpse were consumed by something? I don’t know the answer, yet I can feel something beating the south wall of the chamber, which might be the something in the question. I decided not to go anywhere near that wall. The floor were covered with sand, it took me half an hour to excavate the middle. There was a symbol on the ground, and I could recognize it just with one glance. It’s the Eye of Horus, the symbol of the falcon god in Egyptian pantheon. Horus is the sky god of Egyptian, has followers all over the ancient Egypt. I guess that’s the reason why they want those who are familiar with this area to dig in. Yet the city above doesn’t seem to be familiar with any ancient Egyptian style, it’s more like a Greek city states or so. These question doesn’t seems to matter right now, for I have a more important puzzle to solve. The eye of Horus could means a lot of things. I have already check the north wall, there are nothing but sixteen basket hieroglyphs carved on it, thirteen of which are used to form the symbol of Nephthys, while other three were just basket. Nephthys is the guardian of the dead, which I assume to be those poor souls stuck insider the wall to the south. This means 13/16 chances to become one of them, on the other hand 3/16 could get me out of this. The eye of Horus was used to describe fraction, and 3/16 is 1/8 plus 1/16. That means I need to check the eyebrow, left side of the eye and nowhere else. [/fold] [align=center]Chapter 4. Goddess[/align] [align=right]-Cat?[/align] [fold]Well, the good thing is that corridor is not filled with traps anymore, and it is straight forward and there is no chance to get lost. On the other hand, the narrow, straight corridor could still be a disaster especially when you a facing a group of demons. Those demons were tough, carved on their body was the mark of Apophis, the archenemy of Ra, and should be responsible for the death of three or four of my competitors. I can hardly count the number while fighting, not to say to see if there were any precious left. A short corridor, fifty meter in length, took me an hour to pass through. But I managed to driven those demons back to where they should be at last. Being tired enough to look back for any trophy, I stepped into the huge hall immediately. After the stone door got shut, I lied on the ground for a while just to catch my breath. Then I stood up to look around. This is a shrine, with all the mural paintings and statues. Also some kitty mummy can be find in the corner. One don’t need to know how to read hieroglyphs, which by the way I do, to understand that this room is a small temple of Bastet, the cat Goddess of Egypt. It makes more sense that after defeating the Apophis, or rather his avatar, you will grant yourself a visit of Bastet. In some ancient Egyptian mythology, she killed that evil worm as the eye of Ra. This associated with the lunar eye in the previous room, and it seems I need to solve the puzzle of the solar eye to move forward. I approached the altar, the hieroglyph on the floor said that there needs to be a tribute to speak with the Goddess. I tried everything valuable things, include what I looted before, but none of these were accepted. The last thing I have is my grandmother’s amulet. I would never risk it, but some part in me finally urged myself to put it in the bow. Bastet accepted it, and I lost my only memento from my grandma. As I was still feeling bad for what I have done, the huge statue of the cat goddess in the middle of the room started to glow. Then I received a female voice in my mind. “Welcome to the temple of Bastet, posterity of Horus.” “Posterity of Horus? You mean me?” “Who else is here? I see you are carrying the sky amulet with you.” “I got it from my grandmother.” “Then she must be a posterity herself, this amulet will never show its power without certain blood. Thus, what do you wish to know?” “I want to know how to get the precious in this temple.” “Oh, this is not my temple, my child. And I don’t belong to this dungeon either. This is just a shrine room to worship me. If you want, I can have a talk with Thoth. He helped your ancestor, I’m sure he will be glad to help you as well.” “Yes, please.” Nobody would refuse the help from the God who created the hieroglyphs. As I was waiting for my answer, I wandered in the shrine to read what was written on the wall. Accidentally, I stepped on one of the blocks on floor. Next thing I know, the wall on both side started to move and demons started to gush into the room. A group after a group, there were no end to them. Then I received words from the goddess again. “My child, those demons are associated with Apophis, and the best way to deal with those vermin is cat. Thoth has got no exact answers for you, yet he want to tell you that the answer is about the cat. Take the amulet, create a field with it. It will give you five minutes, use the time to find the answer.” After the message, the amulet, my amulet fell on the floor. Then all the demons were stopped like a statue. I started to examine every mummified cat in this room. But I find nothing, those mummies were not the answer. Only one minutes left, I suddenly noticed the story were carved on the wall behind the statue of Baster. It is the story of Ra fighting against the Apophis, and the last part was missing. In the story, the cat defeated the serpent. I might be able to defeat those evil creature with this cat. I took out a little ice pick from my backpack, then started to carve hieroglyph on the wall. Although the seal was broken in the middle of my task, I still managed to end the story in time before this room collapse. The moment I finish the last glyph, all demons in the room shattered into dust, and so did the huge statue. A ladder towards deeper underground was revealed. [/fold] [align=center]Chapter 5. Destination[/align] [align=right]-Water?[/align] [fold]It took like forever to climb down, but the room under the shrine is even grander and much blue. I never thought there would be a lake so deeply underground, in the middle of the biggest desert on the earth. Yet I find myself drown to this odd configuration of nature. With a few minute of searching, I finally find a boat that can carry me into the water. It seems amazing. The depth of the lake is immeasurable and I cannot see the boundary either. The only thing I can do is just sail ahead and keep my direction straight, fortunately I have a compass in my backpack. I spent two hours sailing forward, then realized that this is not just a lake but an ocean. The water were salty, and cold wind would blow from the south. Sailing in an ocean would be much more dangerous, and to prevent from getting lost, I need to keep an eye on my compass every second. Well there were nothing else to do anyway. With three more hours spent, I no longer have the mood to admire the landscape. Finally did I find the destination of this adventure- an island. Two separated paths with a guardian on the shore. That’s typical for any adventure, isn’t it? After landed and got closer to the monster, I recognized it. A sphinx, although much smaller than the original one, was wandering on the beach. I tried to sneak through, but failed and get noticed. The Sphinx seems to be nice, but I can still see its claws and teeth. Those dangerous things can tear up a human easily, and I don’t want to fight those, or at least, not when I was in ultra-fatigue. “Speak out your riddle. I’ll just answer it and get pass.” “Well, I was just going to say ‘Welcome and congratulation on your victory.’, but it seems you want to play… Then the riddle it is.” “…Proceed, please.” “I am something people love or hate. I change people’s appearances and thoughts. If a person takes care of them self I will go up even higher. To some people I will fool them. To others I am a mystery. Some people might want to try and hide me but I will show. No matter how hard people try I will never go down. What am I?” “Age. That’s an easy one, or you are doing this on purpose.” “What do you mean? I choose an easy one because I’m not gonna stop you anyway.” “Oh, never mind. Can I go now?” “Ah, about that… You need to choose one of the precious… On the left side is a fountain which provide you with immortality, and on the right side is…” No more chat with that stupid creature anymore, time grab my reward for this journey. [/fold] [align=center]Chapter 6. Partner[/align] [align=right]-Girl?[/align] [fold]“Welcome aboard.” The doctor-like man seemed to be waiting for her. “Aboard? I was here for my reward.” The girl replied. “Oh, about that… Let me ask you a question, why don’t you choose the fountain?” “I hate water, any kind of water.” “That might certainly be the answer, but… Okay, another question- How old are you, I mean, really?” “Sixteen, is there a problem?” “You certainly looks like a sixteen-year-old, but…” “Alright, shut up. Just give me the prize you promised.” “I would like to offer you a job.” “Not interested.” “How about this?” The man took out an amulet from his pocket. “Give me that!” “I find it in some ancient ruins, finders keepers loses weepers… I can give it to you, if you work for me.” “……Fine, I’ll work for you… for now. Just give me the amulet back.” The girl hesitated for a second and said. “Good! You will soon see how amazing this job could be.” He threw the amulet to the girl. “Alright, what should I do exactly?” She grabbed the amulet, put it on her neck carefully. “Okay, from now on, you are my chief assistant. First, I need you to meet my servant, Al.” “Glad to meet you, Miss.” His servant just came out of nowhere, “I’ll explain what you need to know…” “When you are done, I need you to take a look at this, it is your specialty.” The man interrupted, gave the girl a document folder, then left the office.

fdcrane已发表一个主题在文学领地

好好好，老规矩一楼中文，二楼英文。其实这个是第三篇来着，因为第二篇的设定已经拟好了，只是懒癌犯了懒得写。这个的题材当然会就是那个活动啦。六个主题对应六个章节，副标题就是那个主题。当然了，每个主题都和你们想要的主题有一定偏差吧，所以后面打了问号。就是说：不是书籍的书籍：[backcolor=Black]不是实实在在的书籍，因为那本书实际上是一个城市，也是一个人形　　　　　[/backcolor] 不是考试的考试：[backcolor=Black]不是实实在在的考试，因为被考验的人不知道自己的经历试一次针对自身的试炼[/backcolor] 不是眼睛的眼睛：[backcolor=Black]不是实实在在的眼睛，因为只是一个以眼睛作为象征的符号　　　　　　　　　[/backcolor] 不是猫咪的猫咪：[backcolor=Black]不是实实在在的猫咪，因为是一位以猫作为自己形象的女神　　　　　　　　　[/backcolor] 不是清水的清水：[backcolor=Black]不是实实在在的清水，因为地底那里有着的一片咸水海洋以及不老之泉　　　　[/backcolor] 不是少女的少女：[backcolor=Black]不是实实在在的少女，因为这位少女是超脱死亡而不朽的，已经经历了几个世纪[/backcolor] 关于这个故事，肯定会有很多看不懂的地方。不过没有关，大家可以去看一看第一篇。这两篇的内容上会有一定的互补，但是不多，不过也足以让大家看明白一些设定了。不过，反正不是什么高大上的题材，大家看个乐子也就好啦。至于最后的？？？，当然是后来硬加的了，算是……导演剪辑版吧。不多说了，祝大家愉快。

[align=center]第一章白纸[/align] [align=right]-书籍？[/align] [fold]“这样就应该可以了。”身穿白大褂的男子盯着那个机器这样说道。 “有意思，这个看起来像是个发条机器，有这么多齿轮和传送皮带。按照常识来说应该做不到吧，你确定这样可以吗？”站在这个博士一样男子身旁的仆人这样回复道。 “我们需要的不就是一张被超精细加工的纸嘛？你很快就能见识到这个机器是多么神奇了。啊，完成了。”他打开了这个机器输出间的门，然后从里面捡起了一张经过加工的白纸。 “看到没，已经足够接近了。”他把这张纸递给了他的同伴。在触摸过这张纸之后，他的仆从露出震惊的表情，几秒钟后说道:“这个摸起来确实是那种白纸，但是它是怎么做到……” “这个的话，我就解释不清楚了，至少，我不会为了解释这个机器而花费我宝贵的时间。” 在简短的交流之后，他们冲着房间内的守卫点了点头，然后离开了存放这个机器的房间。几天后，回到那个博士一样男子的办公室，他正在白纸上写作，或者说是涂鸦着一些不知名也无法读懂的符号。他的仆人走了进来，然后说道：“全都弄完了。我和埃及的那些部门已经打过招呼了，然后发布了一个悬赏。很快就有合适的人选上门了。” “好，我这边也快完成了。看看这个吧。” “哦，是这样的啊。但我还是不明白为什么我们要费这么大劲去做这个。我是说，我的话也可以或多或少地联系到那些……” “确实，但是我们可不能依靠这种半吊子的能力。这也就是我们需要一个专家的原因，而寻找一个专家最有效的方法就是通过测试，或者说，一个我们敲定的考验。” “那么我们需要使用我的那个城市而不是提几个问题是因为……” “有些潜能只有在真正被考验的时候才会显示出来啊。再者说，就仅仅加了一页纸而已，你又不会因此爆炸还是什么的。” “好吧，就按你说的办咯。” “正如我所预期的，一个地下游乐场。” 一个月后，在撒哈拉沙漠的某处。 “这个可维持不了多久呢。说到底，那页纸也不是原装的。我估计了一下，大概也就四五天……六天吧，如果你不介意内部房间出现的轻微腐化。” “那对于最后一个，也就是第七个候选人来说还真是糟糕啊。不过幸运的话，我们也有可能在一开始就能快速完成然后打包走人呢。” 这样的讨论结束后，这个博士一样的男子走进了帐篷当中。帐篷里已经有七个人坐着了。这些人，探险家、雇佣兵甚至是间谍刺客，都因被那诱人的奖励所吸引而在这里待命。 “很高兴能见到大家，你们应该已经听说这里的规则了吧。那么，谁要先来呢？” [/fold] [align=center]第二章冒险[/align] [align=right]-考验？[/align] [fold]我的祖母经常这样对我说，“小心使得万年船。”考虑到我那盗墓者的职业，这种谨慎在我的一生中可不会经常发生。但我毕竟接受了祖母的锻炼，所以这些话还是记在心中为好。那么这次，可真是一票大的呢。他们提供的奖励真是太丰厚了，以至于像我这样的人完全不会拒绝。幸运的是，我已经通过了一大批的测试而夺得了在这个帐篷中的一个席位。来自埃及各地的七个人都以这个大奖作为自己的目标。我之前以为我很不幸抽中了队列的最后一位。但是我错了，前五个人已经在之前的五天中无一例外地失败了。他们最后到底怎么样了，我不知道，但是没有人回到这里。这可能是个陷阱吧，但这对于陷阱来说也太豪华了。这么多年在非洲的旅行中，我几乎到过所有的墓穴、方尖碑、金字塔，但是我从来没见过这样子的城市。这个城市本身竟然不是已经废弃的，却因为生活在城墙内部的人们而生机勃勃。提供悬赏的那名男子说这个城市的存在是个机密，他们会在这次冒险之后消除我们的记忆，而悬赏仍然会被提供给胜者。但是那些现在已经不重要了，我认为我们中的每一格都已经被这座城市本身，而不是悬赏奖励，所魅惑了。我可以说我会很高兴死在这样的地方，我相信别人也是那么认为的，而这点使得所有人都前仆后继地冒着这个险，尽管我们的人数一直在减少。六号今天早晨出发了，我说和她说“希望你能平安”，但我心中的一部分却想要他在这个任务中失败而给我一个机会。现在已经到了黄昏时分，夜幕也很快就会降临了。看起来他确实失败了，而我不认为我可以按耐住自己等待到明早。我心中总会有着什么不停驱使我离开这个帐篷而踏上前往地牢的台阶。提供悬赏的人说夜晚前往底下会很危险，但我已经管不了那么多了。我已经收拾好行装，准备出发了。 “哦，伟大的拉，太阳之神。请照亮我前进的道路并引导我跨越即将面临的任何艰难险阻吧。” 我祖母坚持让我投身到对古埃及众神的信仰当中。她从未告诉我为什么要这样做，而仅仅在临终的时候给了我这个护身符。每当触摸这个护身符的时候，我都能感觉到力量在我的体内流淌着，所以我在所有冒险中都会把它带在身边。我觉得它总能给我带来好运。保佑我吧，祖母，因为我要出发前往迄今为止最伟大的冒险了。 [/fold] [align=center]第三章象征[/align] [align=right]-眼睛？[/align] [fold]那些蜿蜒盘旋的走廊布满了各种危险的陷阱。从地板中冒出来的地刺，天花板上滴落的毒液，沙子当中藏匿的毒蛇与毒蝎，还有不知道从那里射过来的暗箭，这些致命的陷阱都静静地等待着触发者的出现。他们确实等到了四号，那个可怜人的尸体就那样倒在角落，心脏上插着一只短小的弩箭。我既不知道他叫什么，也不知道他是做什么的，不过我自然会对着他的尸体好好劫掠一番，把他身上值钱的东西都放到我的背包里面，反正他也用不上了。就这样终结了生命，这对于他来说也算是一种荣耀吧。在漆黑幽暗的走廊待了几个小时之后，现在我到达了一个小小的密室，这也是第一个可以称为是一个房间的地方。倒不是因为他有多大，只是这里有四面墙以及，当然了，一个房顶。这个密室本身看起来有点凌乱，房间内的几个支撑柱也已经倒塌了。我确实为我的安全问题担忧了一阵子，但是之后我明白了，自从踏进这个地方以来，我就已经和安全的地方说再见了吧。我开始检查这个房间的所有角落，西面和东面分别是这里的入口和出口，墙上空无一物，只是在门上以及门的周围有着细小的刮痕。显然有人想要强行打开这些门吧，但是我却没有在地上看到任何尸体。不管是他还是她，那个人最终找到开门的方法了吗，还是说尸体被不知道什么东西吃掉了呢？我不知道，但是我能感觉到有什么东西在击打着房间南边的墙壁，这个东西可能就是上面那个问题里面的什么东西吧。我决定不再靠近那边的墙壁了。房间地板被厚厚的沙土覆盖着，我花了半个小时才把中间的地板发掘出来。地上有着一个符号，我一眼就认出了它。那是荷鲁斯之眼，埃及众神中那只鹰神的象征。荷鲁斯是埃及的天空之神，他的信徒遍布整个古埃及。我猜这是那些人想要熟悉这个领域的人们来到这里的主要原因。但是，那座城市本身却没有一点古埃及城市的影子，而反倒更像是一个古希腊的城邦什么的。那些问题对于现在来说是无关紧要的，因为这里还有更加重要的谜题等待着我的解答。荷鲁斯之眼意味着很多事情。我已经调查过北边的墙壁了，墙壁上除了刻有十六个篮子状的象形文字之外什么都没有，这其中的十三个篮子都被组成了奈芙缇斯的象征，而其他的三个则仅仅是篮子而已。奈芙缇斯是古埃及死者的守护神，我想那些死者指的就是卡在南边墙壁中的那些可怜亡魂吧。这也就意味着13/16的概率我会变成那些灵魂中的一员，而反过来3/16的概率能够把握从这里拯救出去。荷鲁斯之眼也可以被用来描述一些分数，而3/16是1/8和1/16的加和。这也就是说，我需要去检查那个符号的眼眉，以及左边眼白的部分，而其它部分完全不可以碰。就这样，我解开了谜题，出口的门也慢慢打开了，是时候前往更深的地方了。我希望接下来的走廊不会像之前那样布满危险的陷阱了。 [/fold] [align=center]第四章女神[/align] [align=right]-猫咪？[/align] [fold]好吧，从好的一方面来讲，这条走廊里面确实没有任何危险的陷阱了，而且笔直地通向前往不存在迷路的可能性。但另一方面，这个狭窄，笔直的通道仍然会带来无限的灾难，尤其是当你需要面对一大群恶魔的时候。那些恶魔还真是难对付，身上刻有阿波菲斯的印记，那可是拉神的大敌。看起来他们需要对我竞争者中的三或四个的死亡负责。在和他们战斗的时候，我可没办法好后数清他们的数量，更不用说去检查他们尸体上有没有什么值钱的东西了。一个短小，五十米长的走廊，花了我一个小时才通了过去。但是我最终还是费尽全力把这些恶魔赶回他们应该待的地方了。累到无法回头检查任何战利品，我立刻踏进了走廊终点的那个大厅。在石门关紧之后，我就这样躺在地上喘着粗气。几分钟后，我站了起来开始四处检查。这是一个神殿，墙上的各种壁画和房间中的各种雕像都印证了这个猜想。房间角落还有一些已经木乃伊化的猫咪。想要知道这个房间的用途更本就不需要读懂象形文字，但是顺便一说我确实能读懂，这个小型神庙是献给贝斯特，也就是埃及神话中那猫型女神的。这就说得通了，在打败阿波菲斯，或者说他的化身，之后，你将获得觐见贝斯特女神的机会。在古埃及神话中，她确实作为拉之眼杀死了那只邪恶的蠕虫。这又和之前房间里那个月之眼所对应着，看来我需要解决这个和太阳之眼有关的谜题了。在接近祭坛的路上的地板上刻有象形文字，大概是说想要女神降临，需要一定的奉献品。我尝试了身上所有的，包括之前从那个尸体上搜刮来的财宝，但是没有任何一个被女神所接受。剩下的唯一一件东西则是我祖母的护身符。我本来从不会用它冒险，但是我心里总会有东西驱使我把它放到献祭碗中。贝斯特接受了她，而我却失去了我祖母的唯一纪念品。当我还在为自己的行为感到懊悔的时候，那个巨大的猫神雕像开始发出耀眼的光芒。然后我脑海中接收到了一个女性的声音。 “欢迎来到贝斯特神殿，荷鲁斯的后人。” “荷鲁斯的后人？是在说我吗？” “这里还有其他人吗？我明白了，你确实拿着那个天空护身符吧。” “这是我祖母给我的。” “那她自己肯定也是一名后裔，这个护身符如果不是被某个血脉所持有，是不会产生神迹的。那么，你想要知道什么呢？” “我想要知道怎么才能得到这座神庙中的宝藏。” “哦，这不是我的神庙，孩子。我本身也不属于这个地下城。这仅仅是一个用来供奉我的神殿罢了。如果你需要的话，我可以去询问一下图特。他帮助过你的祖先，我想也会乐于帮助你吧。” “好的，那拜托了。” 没人会傻到拒绝来自发明象形文字之神的帮助。在我等待解答的时候，我就这样漫步于神殿当中来阅读墙上象形文字所谱写的故事。意外地，我踩到了地板上的某块石砖。下个瞬间，两侧的墙壁开始了移动，恶魔们也开始从两侧涌入房间之内。一股接着一股，看起来没完没了了。接下来，我接收到了来自女神的话语。 “孩子，这些恶魔都和阿波菲斯有关，而想要对付这些蛆虫最有效的办法是猫。图特没办法给予你一个确切的大幅，但是他要我告诉你这个房间的答案和猫相关。拿好这个护身符，它会展开一个力场。这大概可以给你五分钟来寻找你的答案。” 在这条消息结束后，那个护身符，我的护身符掉落到了地板上。之后所有恶魔就像是时间停止了一半像雕像一样停住了。接着，我开始检查这个房间内所有的猫木乃伊。但是我却什么都没找到，那些木乃伊上没有任何答案。只剩一分钟了，我突然注意到了刻在巨大贝斯特雕像后方墙上的故事。那是拉与阿波菲斯战斗的故事，而故事的最后一段却是一片空白。在那个故事当中，猫确实打败了巨蛇。我想我也许可以使用这样的猫来打败那邪恶生物。我从背包中拿出一个破冰锥，开始在墙上雕刻象形文字。尽管封印在我的任务进行到一半的时候就解除了，我仍然想方设法在这个房间倒塌之前终结了那个故事。在我完成对最后一个符号雕刻的瞬间，房间内所有恶魔都化成了粉末，而巨大的雕像也被摧毁了。一个通往地下更深处的梯子显露了出来。

[fold]这个梯子简直就像是无尽的一样，但是神殿下方的房间却比神殿更加广阔，而且一片蔚蓝。我从来没想过这么深的地底会有一个湖泊，而且它还处于地球最大沙漠的中心。我现在却发现自己正处于自然界最奇特的布局当中。在几分钟的搜索后，我终于找到了一个可以把我载往水域深处的小船。这真是太不可思议了。这个湖泊深不见底，我也无法看到他的边缘。我唯一能做到的事情，就是保持着我的方向直线航行，幸运的是，我的背包中存放着一个指南针。花费两小时向前航行之后，我意识到这根本不是一个湖泊，而是一个海洋。这里的水是咸的，还有凉风会从南边吹来。在海洋中航行可就危险多了，而为了防止迷失方向，我必须目不转睛地盯着我的罗盘。不过，我也没有其他可以做的事情就是了。又过了三个小时，我已经没有心情欣赏周围的景色了。最终，我还是找到了这次冒险的终点——一座小岛。在海滩上有着一条通往两边的分岔路，路口有着一个守卫。这对于任何冒险故事来说都是最经典的布置，不是吗？在着陆并接近那只怪物以后，我认出了它。一个斯芬克斯，虽然比最古老的那只要小很多，在沙滩上闲逛着。我试图悄悄从它身边溜过去，但还是失败而被发现了。斯芬克斯看起来还算温和，但是我仍然能够看到他的利爪和利齿。这些危险的东西可以轻易将人类撕碎，而我也不想，至少不想在超级疲劳的现在和这些东西战斗。 “快说出你的谜语吧。我会直接答出来然后从这里通过的。” “啊，我本来只是想说‘欢迎来到这里，祝贺你取得成功’而已，但是你看起来想和我玩一玩……那就说个谜语吧。” “……好，请开始吧。” “我被人类既爱又恨着。我可以改变人类的面容和思想。如果一个人好好照顾自己，我会变得更高。对于一些人我则会愚弄他们。对于其他人来说，我有是一个谜。一些人可能想要并试图隐藏我，但是最终我还是会显现自身。不管人类尽多大力，我绝不会变低。我是什么？” “年龄。这还真是简单，还是说你是故意的。” “你什么意思？我选了个简单的，仅仅是因为无论如何我都会放你过去。” “哦，那就别在意了。我能走了吗？” “啊，关于那点……你需要选择两个珍宝的其中之一……左侧是一个喷泉，它会提供给你不朽的力量，而右边则是……“ 我可不想再和这个愚蠢的生物聊天了，是时候拿取我这次旅途的回报了。 [/fold] [align=center]第六章伙伴[/align] [align=right]-少女？[/align] [fold]“欢迎入伙。”博士一样的男子看起来等她很久了。 “入伙？我只是来拿我的奖励的。”少女这样回复道。 “哦，关于那个……我先问你一个问题吧，你为什么不选那个喷泉呢？” “我讨厌水，任何形式种类的水。” “这确实是个合理的答案，但是……好吧，那换个问题——你今年多少岁了，我是说，真话是？” “十六岁啊，有问题吗？” “你确实看起来像是个十六岁的少女，但是……” “好了，闭嘴吧。赶快给我约好的奖赏。” “我可以给你提供一个职位。” “不感兴趣。” “那这个呢？”男子从口袋中拿出一个护身符。 “赶快给我！” “我在一个古代遗迹里面找到了这个，失物归寻得者持有，丢失的人就哭去咯……我可以把这个送给你，前提是你为我工作。” “……好吧，我可以替你工作……暂时这样吧。赶快把我的护身符还给我。”少女犹豫了几秒钟，这样说道。 “好啦！你很快就明白这个工作有多棒了。”他把护身符扔给了少女。 “是吗，那我到底应该做些什么呢？”她抓住护身符，小心翼翼地把它带回脖子上。 “行了，从现在开始，你就是我的首席助理了。首先，我要先向你介绍一下我的仆从，阿尔。” “很高兴见到你，小姐。”他的仆从不知道从何处忽然现身，“我要先向你解释一下你需要知道的……” “你们这里结束之后，我需要你看一看这个，这可是你的专长所在。”男子这样打断了他们，然后递给少女一个文件夹，之后离开了办公室。 [/fold]
