Chapter 17 Chapter Seventeen The Third Name

"Would you choose the truth or take a big risk?" An ethereal voice fell into Meri's ears, and she opened her eyes, only to find that the surroundings were pitch black.The only source of light is the life-sized statue in front of which is constantly changing colorful lights. Statue of Maat, goddess of justice. Mei Li's gaze could not help being drawn to him: "Whose truth?" "Whoever you want to listen to is sincere, I can satisfy you." Lady Justice's voice was smooth and unwavering, "However, you have to exchange your greatest secret." "I want to hear Chen Zhiwei's sincere words." As soon as these words came out, even Mei Li was taken aback.

"Okay." With this reply, the light of the Lady Justice gradually dimmed, but a flickering light curtain appeared behind her, as if there was a movie curtain hanging there, and now it's finally time for the screening. Chen Zhiwei's figure slowly emerged from the curtain, as if she was standing there herself.Meili rubbed her eyes—the effect of this 3D image is really good, it can be so real and three-dimensional without wearing glasses. "What do you want to ask me?" Seeing that Meili was silent, Chen Zhiwei on the screen asked first. Meri was stunned by her question.Yes, what exactly do I want to ask Zhiwei?Want to ask what is the relationship between her and Pei Sidu, or what does she think about him?

After all, she couldn't forget that in the "Mat's Feather" bar, when she was swept up by the storm, Zhiwei reached out and held her. "I wonder..." Merry stammered, "do you really believe... that I stole your necklace?" As soon as the question was uttered, Merry regretted it.Neither "yes" nor "no" was what she wanted to hear. "Of course I don't believe it." Chen Zhiwei glanced at Meili, and then turned her gaze to the misty void, with a calm expression on her face, "Because, I was the one who stuffed the 'Eye of Horus' necklace into your drawer Jiang Min and Xia Jie, I also instigated them to fight against you."

"Why..." Meili covered her mouth, but couldn't stop the sour tears from welling up in her eyes.She suddenly felt that she was powerless to ask the reason, but desperately wanted to curl up her body to resist the coldness emanating from the depths of her heart. Although she has always been brooding over her grievances, and had faint doubts about Chen Zhiwei's abnormality, Mei Li never believed that the truth could be so cruel.The indifferent but kind Zhiwei, the Zhiwei who has always treated her like a sister, the Zhiwei whom she has always trusted wholeheartedly, actually pushed her into the abyss with her own hands!When she woke up crying from her dream in the middle of the night, when her roommates sneered like swords, when she moved out of the dormitory in silence, Zhiwei always watched with cold eyes, whether her heart was really as numb and cold as her expression ? !

"Actually, you should thank me." Chen Zhiwei looked at Meili, who was trembling with tears, and smiled softly, "If I hadn't kicked you out of the dormitory and cut you off from other mortals, with your timidity and peace, How could you join the Yalu Group with all your heart and soul, and then discover your unique life?" "You're right..." Meili knew that she was like a kindergarten kid. Although she was full of longing while sitting on the high slide, she never dared to let go of her arms until someone got impatient and kicked her hard. "But, I have always regarded you as a good friend..." Even if you were going to be kicked, it shouldn't be you... After a long while, Mei Li weakly told her grievances, "So, I am still very sad..."

"Friend?" Chen Zhiwei sneered, "You will understand in the future that you and I are not friends at all, and our identities cannot be friends. So, don't worry about it." "Because of Boss Pei?" The ambiguous conversation in the recording came to mind again, and Mei Li felt that as long as she kept asking, she would be able to dig out the intricate entanglements hidden behind Chen Zhiwei and Pei Sidu. However, Chen Zhiwei just smiled silently, turned around and walked away without answering the question. "Zhiwei, don't go!" Meili chased after her, but Chen Zhiwei's figure gradually disappeared from the screen, like a movie at the end.

"It's your turn." In the darkness, the statue of Goddess Maat shone brightly again, indicating that the appearance of Chen Zhiwei just now was just an illusion. "What's your biggest secret?" In the empty darkness, there was only a calm voice, reminding Meri of the price he had to pay. "My secret?" Meili was stunned for a moment, "I, I don't know..." No one answered, the light of the Lady Justice went out soundlessly, and the surroundings returned to the original darkness.Meili was a little surprised when suddenly there was a strange rustling sound in the darkness.

Is it hallucination?Or are there mice infesting the corners?Meili listened carefully with her ears sideways, and found that the strange voice became clearer and clearer... She suddenly understood—that was someone tightening the locked door! Meili hugged her shoulders violently, and wanted to call out, but was unable to speak because of extreme fear.She suddenly realized where she was - she was in her real father's house, if he really was her real father! She returned to Mei Xi's house, that night a few months ago! The door opened, and a faint light came in from the corridor, outlining the tall silhouette of the intruder.Meili only sneaked a glance, then quickly closed her eyes and pretended to fall asleep.

"Merry, Merry?" The man tentatively called twice, but Merry didn't make any sound. "Go to sleep, my dear daughter! Relax your limbs and fall into a deeper sleep; empty your mind, and hand over all your memories to my hands..." The man's vague murmur gradually turned into a chant The general strange sound, "buzzing buzzing" lingered in the sky above Meili, making her feel that she would really fall asleep in this special lullaby.However, she immediately remembered the small pill she had just swallowed, which was the refreshing medicine that Teacher Li Ping gave her.

So, she just closed her eyes motionless and let Mei Xi walk around her bed, chanting his weird spells. "Come on, continue to forget everything about you now... You see, your parents in this life have been erased from your memory. Abandoning them is not so unbearable. Then, from now on, forget your current self..." A few skinny fingers touched the top of Merry's head, as if something was being extracted from her brain—— "Oh, is this your first memory? Being carried by your parents to the zoo to see monkeys is really cute..." Meili couldn't remember what Mei Xi was talking about, as if this memory was pulled out of her brain by Mei Xi like a silk thread.But in the dark, she clearly heard the laughing voice of herself when she was two or three years old: "monkey, monkey!" until the laughter stopped abruptly in an instant.

Her body trembled involuntarily, like a silkworm chrysalis wrapped in layers of silk cocoon feeling the erosion of external force, she clearly felt that it was Mei Xi who strangled that child to death! "Disappeared..." Mei Xi sighed softly.Although Meili closed her eyes tightly, she could still see countless fine powders flashing with silver light, dissipating before her like snowflakes without a trace. That was her memory, the first good memory in her life, just like that, it was destroyed! Mei Xi's hand touched the top of her head again, is she going to continue to destroy her past?Meili was so nervous that she couldn't breathe. Although she didn't dare to open her eyes to resist, she turned over in a timely manner, avoiding the cold palm. "Is it the emptiness after the destruction of memory that makes you uncomfortable? Then I'll fill in some of it for you." Mei Xi said to herself, reaching out to pull Mei Li's body and quilt back to a flat state, "First of all, I I want you to understand that no matter in the past or now, you will never be able to escape from me!" "Because I am not only your god, your king, your master, your father, but also your—" His fingers caressed Meri's face, and gradually moved down along the cheeks, and finally two flowers bloomed in the darkness. Word, "Husband!" "Ah—" Meili screamed suddenly, turned over and sat up, and opened the arm that was pulling away her quilt! The reason why she couldn't bear it anymore was not only because of Mei Xi's shocking words at the end, but also because of the feeling when her hands touched her cheeks—— The fingers, as hard as a bird's claw, seem to be just a layer of thin skin that has been dried for many years, wrapped in charcoal-like dry bones, without any moisture and vitality. Ghost claws—that was not a living hand at all! Fumbling for the flashlight hidden by the pillow, Meili flicked it on, and a strong beam of light swept towards the man beside the bed who couldn't avoid it: "What are you going to do?" "You're having a nightmare, so Dad came over to take a look." Mei Xi replied pretending to be calm. Meili ignored him, just grabbed the backpack that had been packed by the bed, opened the door and ran out. "It's the middle of the night, where are you going?" Mei Xi yelled angrily, as if she had regained her father's majesty. Meili put her hand on the speed dial button of her mobile phone, trying her best to control her trembling: "Don't stop me, or if I just press it, Teacher Li Ping will call the police for me." "What are you calling the police for?" Mei Xi stretched out her restored hand, and slowly walked towards Mei Li, "Stop making trouble, be good!" "Don't come over here!" Merry yelled loudly, opened the door and rushed out, and she was incoherent in the extreme panic. "Hair, your hair!" She didn't know if Mei Xi understood, but she never dared to go back to that so-called "home", didn't dare to recall that cold and strange night with an unbearably warm atmosphere, and dared not remember being raped by her. The fear of the caress of dry, cold fingers.She dared not tell anyone that although Mei Xi had returned to his usual appearance under the light of the flashlight, he forgot to change back to his own hair.That dark red hair that looked like tattered hemp, she had only seen similar ones in museums, but those—only belonged to mummy. "It looks really painful." A woman looked at Meili's drowsy look, which was sometimes sad and sometimes terrified, and sighed, "Boss's spell is really clever." "I'm just reminding her not to think that life is so nourishing." The woman called "Boss" sneered, "Besides, what kind of stuff is Chen Zhiwei, I have to let her know sooner or later!" "It's just a chaihe girl." The previous woman echoed, "But it's not all Horus' favor." "I think he wants to win 'that person' and is so dazed! A country girl who has never seen the world, what methods can't make her succumb, but still hold her like a baby!" Angrily kicked the sleeping girl Meili woke up, and the "boss" was still angry, "I wanted to use the amusement facilities to throw her half to death last time, but who knew that An Yu would come out to make trouble again!" "But isn't she in our hands now?" The woman from before smiled coquettishly, "Boss can vent his anger however he wants." "Fifth Sister, peel off all this mess first!" Following the "boss"'s order, the woman known as "Fifth Sister" squatted down and took the crown, collar and She took off the hand pot and the like, and took off her ankle-length white gauze skirt. "You actually went out of your way to give her clothes..." Seeing that Meili was still wearing the Dior dress that Pei Sidu gave her next to her body, the eyes of the "boss" were full of jealousy, and with a hook of his finger, the dress split from the neckline A big hole was made. "Oh," Fifth Sister hurriedly stopped, "Wait a minute!" The "boss" stopped his hands, folded his arms in embarrassment: "If I didn't agree to 'that person', so what if I killed her?" "It seems that 'that person' hasn't given up on her yet." Fifth Sister giggled, turned around and took a golden lampstand, and placed it in a niche on the back wall, "They fight theirs, but they don't know the final winner It's you, boss." "After waiting for thousands of years, 'that person' and I are just getting what we need." The "boss" smiled and raised his arms lightly, as if Meili, who was lying on the ground, was evenly supported by a strong force , and then suspended vertically in the air in front of the alcove. Everything is like performing a magic trick. The wick in the golden lampstand automatically lit up, and the light reflected on Meili, dragging a dark shadow on the ground. Fifth Sister stood next to Meili and tugged at her tattered neckline, adjusted the angle of the lampstand, and finally nodded: "It's done, the proportions are exactly the same as a real person." The "boss" squatted down, and lightly drew a spell on Meili's shadow on the ground, then carefully lifted the head of a little shadow, stretched his arms suddenly, and the black shadow was lifted up like a piece of cloth. "Success!" Fifth Sister cheered, "Boss is awesome!" "The first experiment, whether it will be successful or not is still in doubt, don't be too busy flattering!" The "boss" glared at the fifth sister, rolled up the shadow like a scroll, stretched out his hand and flicked Meili, who was still in a coma. Boom" and fell to the ground again. "Then I'll go first." Holding the shadow roll, the "boss" warned again worriedly, "Take care of her. Until I succeed, I can't touch her for the time being." Fifth Sister nodded, observed Meili's expression, and said with a slight smile, "Boss, once you remove the spell, she will soon be transferred to the memory awakened by Horus." Meili opened her eyes, and finally, finally woke up from the nightmare that Meixi brought her. The light gradually leaked in from all around like a stream of water.Merry stood up and began to look around where she was. It seems that this is a huge temple dug out of the cave. Unexpectedly, she didn't see any statue of Maat, the goddess of justice, but only saw two rows of huge stone pillars stretching out in front of her, casting huge black shadows in disorder in the hall.And those stone pillars are actually huge statues of men dressed as pharaohs.Each of them is exactly the same, with their hands folded on their chests, holding the crook and flail representing kingship. Ramses II! Meri took a step back, but stopped again, raised his head and tried his best to meet the expressionless statues of pharaohs. Suddenly, she felt those giant stone statues smile. The heart almost popped out of the mouth, and Mei Li's eyes widened—those stone statues, those stone statues were actually laughing! "Meritamon, my daughter, my queen, you are finally back..." Every stone statue seems to have issued the same call, intertwined "buzzing buzzing" to form an airtight net , facing Meri as a hood. "Ah—" Meili yelled in horror, turned around and ran forward desperately, as if the stone statues would break free from the restraint of the base and stride towards her. In the distance is the exit of the main hall, the bright light dazzles the eyes, but Meili is still running with all her strength, and a vague thought deep in her heart guides her direction like a lighthouse: no, can't be caught by them... Suddenly, a hand put on her shoulder from behind, and several other strong arms wrapped around her waist. "Let me go!" Merry screamed, struggling to move forward. "Princess, what's wrong with you, princess..." A clear female voice came into Meili's ears, she turned her head and saw a few young girls, all wearing white gauze dresses, with jet-black hair loose. "You... what do you call me?" "Princess, please stop making trouble!" The young maids seemed to be crying out of anxiety, "The queen fainted in front of the temple, and Pharaoh told you to go there quickly!" "I'll go right away!" With a "buzz" in his head, Meili became anxious for no reason, and hurriedly ran outside the temple under the leadership of the maids. The outline of the Abu Simbel Temple gradually became clear before the eyes, and the mud walls that acted as scaffolding had not been completely removed. It seemed that the temple could only be officially completed after passing the final inspection of the pharaoh and queen. "Mother, mother!" Meri ran all the way, pushed through the crowd, and saw a beautiful woman leaning on someone's arms, her pale face smiled at herself, "Meritamon, you have come to see me for the last time... ..." "Mother, you'll be fine!" Meili held back the water in her eyes, pointed to the magnificent temple in front of her and said, "That's a temple specially built for mother, God will definitely bless mother to get well!" "God will always bless the noble and pure blood of the Wang family, and bless you to enjoy eternal life." The dying woman moved her arms weakly, and Meili hurriedly took her mother's hand with both hands, feeling that her mother had handed something into her hands. "Put it on and replace me... preside over the inauguration ceremony of the Abu Simbel Temple..." The woman's voice gradually sank. Merry spread out her palms, and saw a luxurious gold necklace inlaid with gemstones lying in her palms.In the center of the pendant is a huge eye with blue eyeballs and white pupils. There are blue stripes hanging below the eyes, like two lines of tears.On both sides of the eyes are an eagle and a snake, wearing the golden crowns of Upper and Lower Egypt respectively... This is the "Eye of Horus", the one that Chen Zhiwei had in the school dormitory back then!But what it brings to itself is not beauty and glory, but nightmares and frame-ups! "No, I don't want..." Merry cried out in horror, "This is the queen's adornment!" "As the eldest daughter, you are obliged to replace your mother." The man who had been hugging the queen with his head bowed finally raised his head, "I declare now that Meritamon will become the hostess of Upper and Lower Egypt after Nefertari! " Merry stared into the Pharaoh's face in shock.His face was like a reflection in the water, it was vague and unrecognizable, but Pei Sidu's outline was vaguely visible.But when the water waves gradually calmed down, that face finally showed the most familiar and most terrifying appearance. Mei Xi. Mei Xi with red hair. "No!" Mei Li struggled out the word from the depths of her soul, but her voice was instantly drowned out by the crowd's cheers. At some point, her mother had disappeared, and only Mei Xi was sitting next to Meili in a pharaoh's fine attire.Meili felt as if her whole body was nailed to the throne by countless nails, and even the expression on her face was so stiff that she couldn't make any changes. Amidst the music played by the harp and the double flute, countless flowers were scattered down like snowflakes.The dense crowd swarmed the square in front of the temple like ants, singing and dancing to celebrate the birth of their new queen. The beautiful singing voice lingers around Meili, so familiar, it is the melody that can be heard every time the mobile phone rings, but the lyrics are the ancient language sung in the "Road to Eternal Life" theme park.But at that time she was still confused and unable to understand, but now she understands the meaning of every word:


No, don't sing any more!Merry tried desperately to raise her arms to cover her ears, but found that she was still like a puppet doll sitting on a throne, unable to move at all.The same melody, why An Yu's lyrics are completely different from his?The former makes her joyful and resonate, but the latter makes her irritable and desperate? "Your mother has lived forever in Yalu, and you can only be qualified to become a god after death after you become a queen." Pharaoh's voice sounded in Meili's ear, with breath of breath, "I have about a hundred children. , but give you this unique honor. See how much I love her, how much I love you. Love me as you love a god, a father and a husband!" "Forgive me that I can only love you like a father." Merry replied weakly, "I'd rather just be a priestess who is always celibate." "Whose priestess?" Pharaoh pushed himself up from the throne and asked aggressively. Meri, who was sitting on the chair, couldn't move back. Even though her back was firmly attached to the back of the gilded chair, she still couldn't get rid of the majestic face of the pharaoh who was close at hand: "Say, who are you in love with?" Her throat seemed to be blocked by something, Merry closed her eyes tightly, but was so choked up that she couldn't speak. "Don't be afraid, tell him it's me." A voice suddenly came from the sky. "President Pei!" Meili screamed uncontrollably, "President Pei, where are you? You said that I don't have to marry him, you lied to me, you lied to me!" "I didn't lie to you." Pei Sidu's voice continued to descend from the sky, with an irresistible dignity, "But if you refuse to marry Ramses II, you must marry me and serve me forever and ever." "I am willing to marry you and serve you forever and ever. Mr. Pei, save me..." Mei Li yelled for help incoherently like a person about to drown.As long as she doesn't marry her biological father, she is willing to agree to any conditions at this moment! "So, have you guessed the secret name of Ramses II? What kind of wish do you want to make to him?" secret name?Before Meili had time to think about it, she blurted out the answer: "He is Meixi. I never want to see him again, and let him disappear from my life forever!" "You really surrendered to him and are willing to marry him?" The fingers that were unbuttoning his clothes suddenly stiffened, and a young man in black smiled bitterly, "Fortunately, under the barriers, only I heard This promise..." "But do you remember that I once said that if you really fell in love with him, I would rather you die." The man's fingers slowly moved towards Meili's neck, "Even if I kill you again..."
