Chapter 21 Chapter 21 The Fourth Name

Holding the candle in his hand, Meri was finally able to look at this criss-crossing underground labyrinth.The corridors are all made of square stones, some of which are more than three meters wide, while others can only accommodate people.But without exception, the stone walls are all covered with exquisitely carved relief murals, but some are painted with bright paint, while others only maintain the true color of the stone. The black dog walked in a hurry, as if it wanted to bring Meili out of the tunnel as soon as possible.Although Mei Li was also worried that he would kill that face-faced monster or the boa constrictor in the middle of the journey, he still couldn't help but glance at the contents of the murals on both sides.After watching for a while, Meri came to two conclusions:

One is that the contents of the murals are similar, it is nothing more than different people worshiping the same god; the other is that the god is actually Anubis! No, not Anubis!Merry quickly overturned his conclusions.Although the statue is similar to Anubis, it is also obviously different: the top of his ears are not as sharp as the black dog's hair, but flat and truncated, like the wat board used by the ancient ministers, and his mouth is not Slightly upturned like Anubis, but long and bowed like an anteater. Not Anubis, then who is he?Judging from his dominant position in the entire underground labyrinth, it should be the gods who dig these tunnels.

"Who dug these tunnels?" "The Lord of Darkness." Meili suddenly remembered An Yu's question and answer. Could it be that this god whose appearance cannot be compared with any animal in reality is the "King of Darkness"? The candle was about to burn out, and when the light finally appeared in front of the poor, Merry threw away the hot candle end in his hand. "This is... the subway station?" Meili looked at the bright lights and the crowds coming and going in surprise. Turning around, she found that the corridor she had just walked had disappeared at some point, and there was only a seamless concrete wall behind her. .If it wasn't for Ermao still hovering at her feet, she would have suspected that she had suffered from paranoia just now.

"Hey, you can't bring pets into the subway!" A staff member suddenly walked over to Meili, waving his arms vigorously. Before Meili could recover, a person had already walked over from the slant, bent down and hugged the black dog at her feet, and apologized repeatedly: "Sorry, we'll go out right away." The black dog struggled slightly, then fell on the arm of the visitor, and did not move again. "Give up the power of the most spiritual, how can you compete with me for your virtue?" The man holding the black dog smiled meaningfully, and mocked it with a voice that others could not hear, "Why don't you send the princess to me?" Where is 'that person' going to receive the reward? By the way, since he can send Chilin to attack, it proves that he has lost the confidence to compete with me, and can only sabotage my success by killing the princess. So poor guy, even if you You're going crazy with jealousy, and you have to send the princess back to me, right?"

The black dog looked up at the person who was holding it, his dark eyes were as normal as ever, and seemed to acquiesce to what the man said. "Get out, get away, and don't appear in front of the princess again." Walking out of the subway entrance, the man threw the black dog in his arms on the ground and threatened ruthlessly, "Otherwise, don't blame me for beating the dog in the water and whipping you Go back to the dungeon!" "Hoo hoo, Mr. Pei wait for me..." Meili finally ran out of the subway entrance at this moment, seeing the black dog running away from Pei Sidu, panting hurriedly and shouting, "Ermao, come back!"

However, the black dog just looked back at her and ran even faster. Mei Li was about to chase after him, but when he took two steps, Pei Sidu grabbed his shoulders: "Don't force it, okay?" "But, I still have a lot of questions to ask it!" Meili stared eagerly at the figure that was only a small black dot in the distance, and finally watched Ermao disappear at the corner of the street helplessly. "It can't talk, so if you have any questions, why not ask me." Pei Sidu made a point without losing the opportunity. "Really?" Meili looked at Pei Sidu suspiciously, "I remember I was bitten by a snake, why did I end up in the subway again? And... where did An Yu go?"

"Remember that I am a god with powerful mana, how can mere snake venom defeat me?" Pei Sidu smiled, "As for An Yu, he has already left and will never come back." He leaned close to her earlobe, warm The tone made her ears burn, "Don't mention him in the future, my desire for exclusiveness is very strong." Hearing this tone, could it be that he saved himself?But it's clear Ermao... Although Meili was full of doubts, she was always forced by Pei Sidu's arrogance and did not refute. She only asked as much as possible: "Mr. Pei, do you hate An Yu very much?"

"Hate? Hehe, why should I hate such a small character?" Pei Sidu showed a look of disdain on his face, and then pulled Meili into his Lamborghini sports car. "Now, it's time for us to deal with the real enemy." Pei Sidu started the car, his voice filled with excitement that the great work was about to be completed. "Who is the real enemy?" Merry was worried.Somehow, this time Pei Sidu took her for granted as an ally, could it be because the snake that killed Mrs. Yin bit her again? "By the way, Mrs. Yin..." Before Meili could finish speaking, Pei Sidu stepped on the accelerator hard, and the Lamborghini shot out from the gap between the two lanes like a rocket, causing a series of angry horns from behind .

Meili was a little embarrassed clutching the seat belt, God Pei, you are really not afraid of the camera... Finally, the speed of the sports car returned to normal, and Pei Sidu's anger was slightly vented. "That's right, she was plotted against by 'that person'," he gritted his teeth and sneered, "'That person' also wants to kill you, and he wants to get rid of everyone I care about." It turned out that he just suffered a disaster?Meili immediately stood firm, and involuntarily moved closer to Pei Sidu: "Who is 'that person'? Can you deal with him?"

"You can deal with him." Pei Sidu was obviously satisfied with Meili's attitude, and encouraged him firmly. "Me?" Meili was startled, and his mind immediately turned around, "Could it be that he used the power to guess his secret name?" "Smart!" Pei Sidu stopped the car, "I've been waiting for this day for a long time." Meili got out of the car and looked up to see a pyramid-like tall building standing under the autumn sun, with dazzling brilliance reflected on the glass curtain wall. Yalu Group! "I originally thought that to guess the name, you have to go to a theme park, and you have to fill out the 'Book of the Dead' or something..." Meili stuck out her tongue.

"The old men stick to the rules and hope that everything will be done according to the old rules." Pei Sidu smiled proudly, "But now, it's not their turn to decide everything." Meili was a little puzzled, why Pei Sidu looked so confident today, even looked down on everything?Could it be because he was about to guess the name of that enemy? But in case I can't figure it out... Meili wiped her sweat silently, feeling that she was really stressed. "Then how do I guess? Can I go back after guessing?" She murmured nervously. "You don't have to go back to that crappy house after guessing, I'll give you everything." Pei Sidu smiled and held her in his arms, and walked into the elevator, "In order to meet your habits, I set the second floor of the building as A 4D cinema." It's abnormal, why did God Pei behave so intimately today?Meili was frightened inwardly, taking advantage of the fact that the second floor had already been reached, she hurriedly ran out of the elevator without leaving a trace. The space on the second floor outside the elevator door is indeed extremely luxuriously decorated, the thick and soft carpet seems to be able to submerge the entire instep.The entire floor was divided into small private rooms, and the dark green velvet curtains were inlaid with golden patterns, which really gave off a rich and luxurious style. "What I'm giving you is real VIP treatment." Pei Sidu patted Meili's head contentedly, took out a small card, and swiped open the door of a private room. "Like it?" Meili nodded. Although she didn't have much discernment for luxurious things, she would undoubtedly be shocked by them.This large private room has everything, including a toilet, a dressing table, a small refrigerator and a long sofa, and the front of the private room faces the large movie screen in the projection hall. "Princess, please sit down." Pei Sidu took Meili's hand and made her sit on a comfortable leather chair facing the screen, then took out a bottle of red wine from the refrigerator and poured two glasses. "Chateau Lafite 1844." He handed Merry a glass and sat down next to her. Meili took the crystal goblet, took a sip, and felt like an old cow eating peonies, feeling guilty for being violent. Sitting on the leather sofa, he felt that Pei Sidu's shoulders were tightly next to his own, with a tense intimacy. She had no choice but to cough lightly to stabilize her position: "Why do you always call me 'princess'?" "Do you prefer the title 'queen'?" Pei Sidu laughed. Merry said no more.To be honest, although she knew she was getting closer and closer to the full memory recovery, she was always afraid of the final truth. Maybe it's safer not to be able to guess those secret names... Otherwise, she will never be able to be Lin Aiyuan again... The lights dimmed and the movie was about to start, even though there were only two people watching. Wearing special glasses with three-dimensional effect, Meri stared intently at the screen that was gradually lighting up—a man with dark green skin and white clothes appeared in the center of the screen, and then shattered into pieces of irregular color blocks.Those color blocks scattered in all directions, and finally spelled out five three-dimensional characters: that person's sin. Sure enough, it was involved in the entangled grievances and resentments of that family god again!Merry felt an urge to run away, took off his glasses and stood up. In the darkness, a hand grabbed her tightly, making Merry unable to move for a moment.She realized that it was Pei Sidu's hand beside her, but this hand was no longer as warm and stable as before, it was tightly grasping Meili, like a drowning man grasping a piece of driftwood, cold and trembling. "Come with me, will you?" Pei Sidu asked in a low voice. But in a few minutes, Pei Dashen, who was still in high spirits just now, suddenly became so fragile, and Meili couldn't help feeling pity.She couldn't bear to disobey him, she relaxed her body and sat back on the chair again.A vague feeling emerged, as if she was still walking through a closed dark passage, and the end of the passage was in the flashing movie screen in front of her. And Pei Sidu was waiting for her in an unknown place outside the corridor. She put on her glasses again.The crowd and buildings on the screen suddenly became three-dimensional, and the noise of "buzzing, buzzing" came from all directions through the high-end speakers, making people feel like they were in the bustling streets of ancient Egypt. Bare-chested men and women in long white dresses are driving cattle, with utensils full of prey, fruits and flowers on their heads, and they are walking in groups towards the temple ahead.Cows passed by, lowly mooing, and Merry could even smell the wine and flowers. With the flow of people, the square in front of the temple is displayed in front of you.Surrounded by guards and slaves, the bejeweled pharaoh and queen offered rich sacrifices to the tall statues of the gods in the temple. "Great Osiris, the God of the Nile's fertility." The Pharaoh raised his hands in praise, "You taught us to make flour into bread, you taught us to brew delicious beer, and you taught us to build buildings dedicated to the gods. Temple, you brought us cities and laws. O great Osiris, god of the Nile's fertility, king of gods and mortals, to you we give all our allegiance, and to you we offer our best sacrifices, May you rule the heavens and the earth forever." "Great Osiris!" The densely packed crowd in the square echoed in unison, kneeling down on the ground one after another.When the worship ceremony belonging to the royal family ended, fanatical civilian believers rushed into the temple one after another, scrambling to place rich sacrifices at the foot of the stone statue of Osiris... This is the power of religion, and now I can no longer feel such fanaticism... The chair under him kept shaking, accompanied by the sound of approaching and distant from all directions, Mei Li seemed to be among these fanatical crowds, being drawn Pushing and shoving, he kept approaching the statue.Finally, she arrived right under the statue, and raised her head to look carefully at the face of the statue—why did she seem to have seen that Osiris wearing a high feathered crown somewhere? By the way, it is in the photo frame of Mrs. Yin's house...Osiris and Isis, they were originally husband and wife... "It's so hateful, why do you still want to take away my one and only after you got everything?" In the crowd, a voice came from a distance. Although it was low and deep, the resentment contained in it made Meri shudder.She carefully wanted to search for the speaker in the crowd, but the seat under her was suddenly lifted, and the scene in front of her gradually faded away, as if her body was lifted up to nine heavens. At the foot is the majestic roof of the temple. The stone roof is spacious and clean. A deep stone step leads directly from the roof to the depths of the temple, which is unfathomable. Suddenly, the seat tilted towards the stone steps on the screen, and the surrounding light suddenly dimmed, and Mei Li felt that he had slipped into the long stone steps.She couldn't help screaming, and her body kept bumping with the twisting of the seat, as if she was on a huge curved slide, sliding towards the deepest part of the temple involuntarily. I don't know how long I have been skating, but the faint sound of the wind in my ears gradually fades away, instead there are bursts of music coming from the bottom.At this moment, the seat shook suddenly and then stopped. It's over. This is an extremely spacious hall, resplendent and magnificent, adorned with gold and precious stones everywhere.A man in a white robe and a feather crown was sitting on the main seat, holding a gold cup inlaid with gemstones in one hand, and gently beating the leather drum beside him with the other to accompany the music. His handsome and mature face was full of satisfaction and happiness. "Brother Osiris, let me congratulate you on your great achievement." In the midst of the music, a voice interrupted abruptly. "Seth, my brother." Osiris laughed and stood up, hugging the visitor tightly. This is Seth?Mei Li suddenly sat up straight from her seat. Isn't this beast-headed and human-body god exactly the same as the main god she saw on the mural in the underground labyrinth just now?It turns out that the big boss who has been fighting against the Osiris family has this indescribably strange appearance! They toasted each other for a few glasses of wine. Seeing that Osiris was drunk, Seth waved away the luthier and flute player who played the music. In the huge temple, only the two brothers were left. "Dear brother, let's play a game." Seeing that Osiris was quite interested in this proposal, Seth stood up and opened a curtain in the corner of the hall, revealing a beautifully decorated cabinet behind. This cabinet is made of wood wrapped with gold leaf, shaped like a person's body, and even the head is painted with facial features and headgear, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, lifelike. "How to play the game?" Osiris asked drunkenly as he stroked the human-shaped cabinet. "First of all, please ask brother to get into this cabinet to see if the size is suitable for your body." Seth smiled grinningly, helped Osiris into the cabinet, and then gently put the cabinet down. "Well, it's very suitable." Osiris moved his body slightly and replied easily. The seat fell down, and Merry felt as if he was possessed by Osiris, lying on his back with his face up, and his eyes were facing Seth's eerie face. A vicious light flashed from Seth's eyes, and then Meri heard the unwilling curse from the crowd: "Why do you want to take away my one and only when you have everything? I want you to pay for it! " This is not a cabinet, this is a coffin!Meili suddenly realized that she was struggling to sit up, but the heavy coffin lid was closed, blocking Seth's gaze and cursing, as well as all light and sound. In an instant, the surroundings were surrounded by a terrifyingly silent darkness. "Ah—" A horrific scream resounded in the darkness, causing Merry to clutch her chest in fright. Then, "bang-bang-bang--" rhythmic beating sounds rang in my ears, close at hand, it seemed that someone was chopping something with an axe, and then little by little warm liquid splashed on the ground. There was a fishy and sweet smell on Meili's face. Meili panicked, and quickly reached out to wipe her face. Yes, her fingers were really wet, and the smell of blood on her nose was getting stronger and stronger! Suddenly, I remembered the story I heard with An Yu in the theme park. After Osiris was killed, the murderer chopped his body into fourteen pieces and threw it into the Nile River. Now—now, Seth is dismembering Osiris dead body! The "bang bang" sound of the ax chopping on the fleshy bone was still ringing in the darkness, as if it would never end.Merry covered her ears as hard as she could, but she still couldn't stop the terrifying voice from entering her head.Finally, she couldn't bear it and shouted: "I can't take it anymore, stop, stop!" It seemed that she really responded to her request, and in an instant, the entire private room.Even the lights in the entire movie theater were turned on, and all sounds stopped.Meri took off his glasses, raised his hand bravely, and found that there were only a few transparent water droplets on his fingertips—it turned out that it wasn't blood, and everything just now was just a special effect of a 4D movie. After her heartbeat gradually stabilized, Meili finally got rid of the terrifying atmosphere created in the movie just now.She sat up straight on the leather chair, and just now a thought occurred to her: Where's Pei Sidu? She turned her head quickly, only to find that Pei Sidu beside her had long since disappeared.Meili jumped up from the chair in shock, turned around and saw Pei Sidu leaning on the couch in the private room, his palms tightly supporting his forehead, also covering his eyes, as if he couldn't bear the sudden light. "What's the matter with you?" Merry asked anxiously. "It's nothing, I just remembered some old things..." Pei Sidu put down his hands and calmed down the expression on his face, "You haven't finished watching?" "No, I don't dare to watch it..." Mei Li felt a little ashamed of her timidity, "What else will you do next?" "The crime Seth committed against me." Pei Sidu clenched his hand on the sofa into a fist, and after a long time, he slowly let go, "It's fine not to look at it." "Then don't watch it." Meili vaguely guessed something bad, and suddenly became embarrassed. "You just need to know that Seth committed countless unforgivable sins to our father and son." Pei Sidu stretched out his hand to hold Meili, pulled her to sit beside him, "I need you to avenge us now." "But I still can't guess Seth's secret name." Merry frowned in distress. "Don't worry, I can give you a hint." Pei Sidu said slowly, "This man, after killing his elder brother, not only did not obey the law, but in the first few years, he even usurped the power of the Yalu Group and made us I have lived under his threats and humiliation since I was a child..." Pei Sidu paused, as if those old events forced his breath to become short of breath, "Later, I finally recaptured the Yalu Group, but he ran to Lincheng and changed his face. It has become another identity, but at certain critical moments, he still can't help but intervene..." Living in Lincheng, probably a generation older than myself, having an irrelevant identity, familiar with the Yalu Group, miraculously appearing... Meili silently summed up the few waiting to be recruited, suddenly his face changed, and he was as low as a cover nod. "Guess it?" Pei Sidu's voice contained the eagerness for revenge. Mery paused, and finally shook his head slowly. She still refused to believe her guess.For her, that person is the strength to resist the patriarchal tyranny, the clothes and books sent quietly, the earnest teaching on the phone when she is suffering and confused, and the last reliable object in her heart.To her, that person was a teacher, a friend, and a father. She didn't believe that he would be the insane demon Seth! "No, you won't fail to guess." Pei Sidu obviously became a little nervous, grabbed Meili's hands and kissed them on his lips, "You love me, you can definitely help me!" I love you?Meili raised her head in surprise, not understanding how Pei Sidu came to such a conclusion.Even if I have been slightly moved, I have never risen to such a high level of "love". "It's okay, if you really can't remember, I still have his photo here." Pei Sidu said as he opened his wallet, and took out a single photo from it, "You'll know it when you look at it." "Isn't that cheating?" Meili didn't dare to look at the photo, and turned her head in panic, "Would it not work?" "I did have such concerns before, but I don't now." Pei Sidu smiled and turned to Meili's face, and put the photo in front of her eyes, "I have worked hard for so long, just waiting for the day when you fall in love with me, Let me tell you what I think and feel without any scruples. Since you are now my person, it is only natural to accept my care." The exclusive connotation in this sentence made Meili more uneasy, no wonder Pei Sidu seemed so eager today, even on fire.A great god has lowered his figure and bowed down to his little transparency for so long, and now it's finally time to reap his reward! With the photo in front of her eyes, it was inevitable for her to say the secret name of "that person". Yes, the unsmiling man in the photo is—— Teacher Li Ping! "I know, you recognized him!" Pei Sidu pressed Meili's shoulders excitedly, two red flames seemed to ignite in his usually noble and reserved eyes, "Hurry up, make a wish, let him die in the In my hand!" "Why?" Meili stood up abruptly, dodging Pei Sidu's strength.Everything happened so suddenly, how could she decide Li Ping's life and death so hastily? "Because if you don't kill him quickly, he will come to kill me and you too!" Pei Sidu's eyes were like looking at a child who didn't know what to do. The Dark Territory, those sandstorms, phantom wolves, red scales and ghost pawns who attacked us are all under his command!" "No, except for a photo, you have no evidence at all to prove that Teacher Li is Seth, and you can't even prove that Seth is going to kill us!" Meili shook her head in a panic, loudly trying to convince Pei Sidu and herself, "At least At present, I cannot make this wish!" "Even if I ask, it's okay? But you have fallen in love with me!" Pei Sidu became a little annoyed, "After hearing your confession yesterday, I should have made you make this wish right away, but you cunningly shirked it. Today I can't miss another chance no matter what!" "Even if I love you, I can't just do what you say." Meili didn't have time to question when she confessed to Pei Sidu yesterday, so she could only take a step back and refute to relieve the urgent need. "No, if you really love me, you will worship me, rely on me, dedicate everything you have to me, and you will obey every word I say without hesitation!" This is shrimp logic, when you are still a religious fanatic in 2000 BC?Even if Mei Li is usually a slow-witted and dull girl, she is a little furious at the moment, wishing she could instill a modern concept of love into this great god: "Even if I love, it is also a love based on equality and mutual respect between men and women. The kind of fundamental love you mentioned It's not love, it's...it's personality cult!" "But I am a god." Pei Sidu replied coldly, "I can give you everything you want." At this moment, Meili finally realized the huge generation gap between himself and the Great God, and suddenly felt powerless: "How do you know what I want?" "Of course I know." Pei Sidu said, taking out an exquisite small box from his pocket, and as soon as he opened it, the dazzling light immediately dazzled Meili's eyes. "Tiffany's limited edition ring, the diamond inlaid on it is two carats." Pei Sidu took out the ring and put it on Meili's finger, "I bought it specially for you because you like it. How many of these things do you want in the future? I can satisfy you." It's really beautiful, I've never seen such a delicate and precious thing in my life... Meili looked at the uniquely shaped and beautiful diamond ring on her finger, and stretched out her other hand to touch it lightly. Pei Sidu smiled: "If you love me, I will love you too. This is a contract between man and God." "Is it a god's love for its worshipers?" Meili also smiled, reached out and took off the diamond ring, and put it on the sofa. "Sorry, I don't think this price is enough for me to make that wish." "Capricious woman, what else do you want?" Pei Sidu's ivory-like face had turned livid due to humiliation and anger, "Say it, I will satisfy you! I don't believe that the Nile River in the sky can't be filled with greed." people's hearts!" "Thank you for God's promise." Meili took a step back towards the door of the private room, "I just want to get out of here now." Saying that, she walked out without looking back. Perhaps out of God's pride, Pei Sidu didn't stop her, but Meili was more fearful and nervous than when she was chased by phantom wolves.When she finally strode out of the Yalu Building, she held onto a street tree and fell powerlessly to her knees. It turned out that when she was handed over by a poisonous snake, the conversations she heard in a coma were not hallucinations. Romance like a dream will naturally dissipate like a dream.
