At this moment, the heads of the US and British operations in Egypt gathered together, and Johnny seemed to have become the world's boss.
The CIA regional director looked helpless, but he obviously had no intention of offending Master Tie.
Norfolk of MI6 didn't care at all. After the shadow extended its hand to Egypt, the British government had been forced to hand over the command of local operations to the Americans. As for which American was in command, it made no difference to Norfolk.
Johnny continued, "The Shadow Organization got the sword yesterday and used it today in the Egyptian desert. It's impossible for them to figure out how to use the sword from scratch in such a short time. They knew how to use the sword from the beginning. They probably also know how to use other treasures.
"If I were Ying, I would collect more treasures."
Ben: "So they're targeting the museum?"
"No!" Johnny shook his head. "When they first showed up in the UK, we thought they would go and steal the British Museum after stealing Stonehenge, but the Shadows didn't take any action. I don't think it's because we have strengthened the museum's security. The Shadows are so powerful that if they want to move the entire British Museum away, I'm afraid no one can stop them."
In fact, Marsha really didn't steal the sword because the security of the British Museum was strengthened, but Johnny didn't know that - even if he knew, he wouldn't believe it. How could the powerful shadow not steal just because the security was strengthened? They stole King Arthur's sword from the lair of the British super-powered people!
Johnny: "The Shadow didn't go to the British Museum because there was nothing in the museum that interested them! Obviously, they only took treasures with power, only magic weapons, not any antiques. There may not be a single real magic weapon in the entire British Museum.
"This time, Ying took King Arthur's sword in England and the pharaoh's mummy in Egypt. King Arthur is a legendary hero, and Pharaoh Josser was the first pharaoh in history to build a pyramid for himself. He established the burial tradition of ancient Egypt. Both of them are kings of great significance in history. Obviously, Ying's target is their relics, or their bodies themselves."
Johnny walked to the electronic map and operated it. As he operated, he said, "So I think the places where Ying might appear next are these, such as this one!"
He pointed to a coordinate displayed on the electronic map: "This is said to be the place where King Arthur is buried. If Ying wants to make a great comeback, he may steal the remains--"
Ben: "Maybe they've already stolen it. Think about it, if the one who just wiped out an Egyptian brigade was King Arthur himself, of course he would use his own sword."
Everyone looked at Ben, shocked.
"You mean," the chief scientist with a large piece of gauze on his face looked at Ben doubtfully and said, "King Arthur's skeleton came to life, put on Soviet-made power armor, held his own sword, and wiped out an Egyptian army? This is a bit too punk."
Ben shrugged. "Why not? King Arthur was defeated at the end of his legend because he was too stubborn, so maybe he plans to be a flexible person in this life."
"Alright!" Johnny interrupted the two people who seemed to be arguing. Both of them were scientists. Scientists are creatures that have an extraordinary passion for arguing. "Let's not worry about whether there is King Arthur in the power armor. Now I need you to use your brains and your wisdom to think about the relics of those legendary heroes and whether their remains will become the target of the shadow."
Norfolk was the first to respond to Johnny: "Alexander the Great, the shadow is definitely interested in him, but we don't know where his tomb is."
Chapter 591 Shocked!
24 hours passed.
Johnny climbed out of the rapid sleep machine, and the first thing he asked the CIA's Egyptian director was: "Did Shadow take action?"
"No." The supervisor shook his head. "In all the museums, imperial tombs, and other things that might be the target, no trace of the shadow was found."
"...How is that possible? The progress of the spiritual energy recovery is advancing every day. Ying should race against time." Johnny frowned, "With the recovery of spiritual energy, those magic weapons may gradually recover their functions like King Arthur's sword, and then we will find them.
"If I were the leader of the Shadow, I would definitely take advantage of the intelligence gap and grab all those things before we know which antique is the magic weapon."
However, the leader of the Shadow didn't know which antique was the holy relic, he really didn't know, so he had no way to grab it in advance.
The leader of the shadow is now climbing Mount Sinai, but because Johnny has mobilized all the CIA's surveillance forces to monitor the mausoleum and the museum, no one has noticed that now at the top of Mount Sinai a group of people are taking out swords and sticking them into the ground on the top of the mountain.
There should have been tourists who saw this group of people, but a fight broke out between the Jews and Bedouins in the Sinai Peninsula, and the tourists had already fled.
If Johnny knew that he had helped the leader of Shadow, he would be furious.
But now, due to the lack of intelligence, Johnny didn't know the truth, so his lungs survived.
Johnny frowned and thought, and at this time Ben came over and said, "Could it be that our surveillance disrupted the Shadow's deployment?"
"That's possible." Johnny nodded, "But they will quickly adjust their deployment and continue to implement their plan. I know Shadow too well. This organization will not change its plan just because of this level of response."
Ben shrugged. "Why are you looking so sad? Just wait for the shadow to show up on its own."
Johnny's expression was serious. "I'm afraid my speculation went in the wrong direction. No, I have to re-sort out the logic chain. Do you want to use the rapid sleep machine?"
Ben shook his head. "The benefit of my superpower is that I can have a lot of energy without resting. My fatigue is mainly mental fatigue. As long as I am still interested, I can stay awake all the time."
"Well, come with me and let's go over the logic again."
"Johnny, I've always wanted to say that you push yourself too hard."
"That's because our enemy is too powerful!" Johnny's voice rose eight degrees. "Half a year! It's been half a year since Shadow declared war on us. The 'Chief Engineer' has been in a vegetative state since Shadow attacked Langley half a year ago. Many excellent agents died in the ruins of Langley. But in the past six months, we couldn't even touch the shadow of Yin!"
Johnny used Chinese pronunciation and English words to play a little linguistic trick to express his anger and helplessness.
"Since the enemy is so powerful, we can't be too hasty." Ben said, "Maybe it's time to slow down and take each step carefully..."
Johnny waved his hand and interrupted Ben: "You mean, let us continue to be passively led by Ying? We must try our best now. We must think ahead of Ying and anticipate the enemy's moves...Okay, I admit that what you said makes some sense. There is really no point in being anxious."
Johnny sighed, "Sorry, I was a little too anxious and my attitude was a little bad."
The CIA's Egyptian director said, "I think you need some real sleep. Apparently the rapid sleep machine is not enough for you."
"..." Johnny pursed his lips in silence, pressing his Jingming acupoint with his hand and rubbing it vigorously. This was a way to relieve eye fatigue that a Chinese student told him when he was in college.
Although the Chinese themselves seem to have discovered that the eye exercises they have promoted for decades no longer have any scientific basis, Johnny feels that rubbing the Jingming acupoint is quite effective.
After a while, Johnny, who had calmed down, said to Ben, "Come on, let's go and rethink our thoughts... When I get sleepy again, I'll really go to bed and have a good sleep."
Ben nodded, "No problem."
**
At the same time, Masha was driving a power armor, sitting on the top of Mount Sinai, looking at the holy sword stuck in the lake on the top of the mountain.
"Are you sure this will work?" Baiquan, who was driving the Puppet Masked Princess Rider, squatted beside him and asked doubtfully.
"I don't know." Masha spread his hands. "This is the highest point of Mount Sinai. The longitude and latitude are correct. If this mountain is really a paradise, spiritual energy should be gathered here. The problem is, I don't know if this broken mountain is a paradise.
"Maybe the man who lived here and called himself Jehovah was just a liar without any super powers, and the Ten Commandments that the Hebrews had were just something the liar made up."
Baiquan: "But the Ark of the Covenant does exist, so the legends about Jehovah shouldn't be all false, right?"
Masha shrugged. The power armor could not perform this action, so the power armor's control system did not allow the armor to imitate Masha.
Baiquan continued: "Why do I feel that the sword is glowing?"
"It's your illusion. The readings of my optical instruments have not changed." Masha glanced at the readings of the optical analyzer connected to the external interface of the power armor and confirmed that the sword was not glowing.
"Hmm..." Baiquan was shocked. "Maybe it's the sunlight. How long are we going to sit here?"
"We'll sit here until the World Government finds us and comes to arrest us." Masha pointed to the sky, "Maybe the satellites have already seen us now."
"If they see us, what do you think we are doing in their eyes?" Bai Quan asked.
Masha thought for a moment and said, "They will probably think that we are using King Arthur's sword to activate the giant robot sleeping in Mount Sinai?"
"So King Arthur's sword is actually a key! I kind of like this idea." Baiquan sounded excited, "Let's name the robot Brave King!"
"No, I want to call it Voltron," said Masha.
"why?"
"feelings."
Masha said as he glanced at the readings of the optical device again.
"The readings have changed! The sword is glowing!"
"really?"
"Yes! But the change is very small, and the naked eye probably can't see this level of light." Masha's voice was filled with joy, "My guess is right, Mount Sinai is indeed a paradise, and Jehovah who lived here was a superpower.
"In the last days of the Dharma, he may only be able to use his powers on Mount Sinai, so he pretended to be a god here and deceived the ancestors of the Hebrews, making them pay tribute to him and support him."
"Suddenly Jehovah's status has become so low!" Baiquan exclaimed, "But if Jehovah is like this, then Amaterasu..."
"I guess Takamahara refers to a blessed place in Japan where people with super powers live in this last place where they can use their powers. The leader calls himself Amaterasu...
"Think about it, the Japanese gods seem to have very weak fighting power after leaving Takamagahara, right? They seem to be just a group of powerful warriors. I haven't heard of any great magical powers after they left Takamagahara and came down to earth. Think about the monsters and demons in Chinese mythology who can easily change the appearance of mountains and rivers..."
Baiquan: "Wow, what you said - I don't care, but if you say this to regular clergy like Xiao Shi, they will cry."
"I don't think Xiao Shi will, but I can't say for the other priests. Maybe after hearing what I say, their hearts will collapse, and their heads will explode into pieces in the holy light."
"Huh?" Baiquan looked at Masha in confusion, "What's this about?"
"'Arcane Throne' is a great online novel." Masha explained briefly.
"Are online novels so interesting? I can recognize a lot of Chinese characters now, so I'll try to read them." Bai Quan said, and then changed the subject, "How long does it take to fully charge this?"
Masha looked at the charging time estimated by the small program he wrote and said, "At this rate, it will take about 20 hours to recover to the same level as before the battle yesterday."
"Huh? So we're going to sit here for 20 hours?"
"No, we'll just sit there for six hours and go home and come back tomorrow."
"I'm going to go back first. You stay here alone and stare at the sword."
“I don’t just sit there.”
"Are you planning on sitting wet?" Baiquan asked, "Or making a water bed in the power armor?"
"I'm feeling the aura, you idiot." Masha said unhappily, "According to my speculation, the human soul is concentrated aura, so theoretically speaking, our soul should be able to feel the aura of the same nature nearby."
"So do you feel it?"
"I'm just starting to feel it."
"It's just about to begin!" Baiquan couldn't help but complain, "From what you said just now, I thought you had already sensed the existence of spiritual energy!"
"Of course I have to make sure this is a blessed place before I start meditating! Otherwise, my meditation will be in vain. Okay, shut up. You are responsible for standing guard and protecting me while I meditate."
"Hey~~Don't do that~~" Baiquan made a reluctant sound.
"It was you who insisted on coming with me instead of Chihiro! Don't regret it now!"
"……cut."
Baiquan remained silent.
Masha closed his eyes, concentrated his mind, and began to feel the aura——
--Huh?
As soon as Masha concentrated his mind, he caught a strange feeling.
He had never felt anything like this before.
It’s a bit like the wind blowing on your body, but different because you can feel its “shape”.
To give an example, when the wind blows on your face, you feel the existence of the isobars - yes, the isobars used when teaching high pressure and low pressure in geography - when the wind blows, the nearby air pressure distribution map appears in your mind, and you see the shape of the isobars.
That's how it feels.
However, I guess not many people can understand Masha's analogy.
In short, that’s how it feels! Don’t ask, just ask “that feeling”.
Masha felt this new feeling, and then found that this "tangible wind" was converging towards a point in front of him.
——It’s a sword!
——Spiritual energy is gathering on the sword!
——This is fucking spiritual energy!
Baiquan's voice suddenly entered Masha's ears: "I seem to have captured the spiritual energy!"
Masha opened his eyes and saw that the eyes of Shiraizumi's Kamen Himeki puppet were looking at him, and the two of them "looked at each other" through the monitor.
Baiquan: “Isn’t this too simple?”
"Yes, but think about it, we have never tried to feel the aura with our souls before, never-"
Bai Quan: "I haven't read any novels about cultivating immortals, so it's normal that I didn't expect it. You guys have all read novels about cultivating immortals, but no one has thought of doing this?"
"Yes, no one has thought of it." Masha showed a self-deprecating smile, "Forget it, let everyone get familiar with the feeling of spiritual energy."
Masha said as she opened the random door. Chihiro and the others were playing mahjong on the other side of the door. When they saw the door open, they all looked at it curiously: "Are you done charging?"
"No, but we know how to determine the aura. I want to further verify the feasibility of this method. So, another A-level, a B-level, and a C-level come over. Remember to wear power armor."
The girls looked at each other, and Hua Gu Shuang stood up: "A-level, I'll go over!"
Cai Shi was a beat slow. When he saw Hua Gu Shuang had stood up, he sighed and sat down again.
Hongye raised her hand: "Then I'll go for C-level. B... Yingqiu seems to be the only B among us."
Baiquan: "Let Yingqiu that bitch come over here."
She definitely said that on purpose.
About twenty minutes later, the girls drove their power armor to the top of Mount Sinai, and under the guidance of Masha and Baiquan, they began to feel the spiritual energy.
However, Masha and Baiquan soon discovered that Hua Gu Shuang, Tang Yingqiu and Hong Ye could not feel any spiritual energy.
