[Mummy] Yellow sand fills the sky

It was daylight, and the ship arrived at Shelley.The rocks above the water looked dull.Poirot murmured, "What a dreadful journey,"

Reese stood beside him. "Well," he said, "we're finally done. I've made arrangements to take Richetti ashore first. It's worth congratulating on catching him. This cunning fellow, we've been tricked by him countless times."

He continued, "Got to get a stretcher for Simon Doyle. Surprised he broke down so quickly."

"It is no surprise," said Poirot, "that childish murderers of this kind are usually very weak. Once their self-esteem is crushed, they are doomed, as vulnerable as children."

"He should be sentenced to death," said Lace, "a cold-blooded murderer. I'm sorry for the girl—but there's nothing I can do about it." Poirot shook his head.

"As the saying goes, love can sublimate everything, but it's not true... If a woman loves a man too much, like Jacqueline loves Simon Doyle, it will be very dangerous. When I first saw her, I Said, 'She's so in love.' I read that right."

"A woman like this is like a shark in the sea. She is fierce. If Simon Doyle doesn't give her the love she expects, she will devour him mercilessly." Kaiya walked up from behind.

The boat sailed into the dock.A cordon was put up in front of the passengers, and they had to wait a little longer before they could disembark.Li Xiti with a gloomy face was first escorted ashore by two technicians.Then, after some delay, the stretcher was brought.Simon Doyle was carried along the deck onto the gangway.

He was a completely different person—hulled up, terrified.The old boyishness had vanished without a trace.Jacqueline Belfort followed, followed by the waitress.Apart from her pale face, she looked the same.She walked over to the stretcher.

"Hi, Simon," she said.He immediately raised his head to look at her, and the childishness from before flashed across his face again.

"I messed things up," he said. "I'm useless for everything! I'm sorry, Jackie. I dragged you down."

She smiled at him. "Never mind, Shimon," she said. "A fool's game, we just lose!" She stood aside.The orderly came and lifted the stretcher.Jacqueline leaned over to tie her shoes, sliding her hand over the top of the stocking.When she stood up straight, she was holding something in her hand.

There was a loud explosion.Simon Doyle convulsed, then lay down motionless.

Jacqueline Belfort nodded.She stood for a moment with the gun in her hand, and then gave Poirot a hasty smile.Then, just as Lace rushed forward, she brought the pistol closer to her heart and pulled the trigger.Rath yelled, "Where the hell did she get that gun?"

A hand was put on Poirot's arm.Mrs. Elleton said softly: "You—know?"

He nodded. "She had a pair of them. I knew that the other day when Rosalie Utterburn's handbag was searched for guns. Jaclyn ate at their table. During the search, she took the gun Put it quietly in Rosalie's handbag, and then went to Rosalie to get it back under the pretext of comparing lipsticks. Since she and her room were searched yesterday, there is no need to search again."

Mrs. Elleton said: "You want her to free herself like this?"

"Yes. But she won't do it alone. That's why Simon Doyle died more comfortably than he deserved."

"Death is the best ending for her, under the current circumstances." Kaiya looked at their corpses and sighed softly, "She will never allow herself to go to court to be tried Yes, she doesn't want others to decide her own destiny, the person who can make this decision must be herself."

Kaiya picked a few flowers from the shore, put them in her palm, folded her hands in front of her chest, and stood quietly in front of her corpse, muttering a strange language, and then, she finally Looking at her, she said, "Jacqueline, you will never be lonely if you have someone you love to accompany you on the road ahead."

Mrs. Elleton was a little curious, "Mrs. Montsolefort, what language did you speak just now? It gives you a strange feeling, as if it was made of magic."

Kaiya smiled: "This is just an ordinary ancient Egyptian language, which is to wish the souls of the deceased to rest in peace. I think Miss Jacqueline Belfort will always be favored by fate."

She walked up to Mr. Poirot, "Mr. Poirot, I am really very happy to meet you, but we are leaving, and I am very much looking forward to the next time we meet, if there is no murder, just some old friends I'll be happier if we sit together and chat or something."

Poirot watched their figures gradually disappear into the distance, and he walked away slowly. Colonel Lace chased after him, "Poirot, why did you get into the car by yourself first?"

Poirot yelled at him in the carriage: "Race, I know you have to take the prisoner you found to many places. Poirot doesn't want to suffer any more. I'll wait for you in London. Wait for you." Let's meet again when we get back to London."

Kaiya looked at them in melancholy as they gradually turned into a small dot behind her, until she couldn't see them at all, "It's impossible for us to see them anymore, isn't it? When a person's appearance is fixed in one place forever, then It's not beautiful but a monster, it's really hard work to live among humans."

"Even such a good Mr. Poirot can only cut off contact with him. When the time has passed, O'Connor, Evelyn, Jones and even Alex, they will all die. After they die, we are What, but two ghosts who have been living forever."

Kaiya took down the bracelet of God of Death, and watched her body slowly turn into bones, "Sooner or later, this body will not be able to hold on, Imerton, I don't worry about death, but I am dead, and you are the only one wandering around It’s so lonely in this world. You will go crazy. I thought I would enjoy immortality, but now, I gradually understand that longevity is the greatest punishment given by God. We will forget it little by little, forget In the past, forget the feelings and become numb. When the thinking goes away one day and we only have a body, then the end is really coming."

Emerton gently hugged her into his arms, "No. We won't get to that point. Don't we already know something about the whereabouts of the Holy Grail? It can heal, it can slow down your body ...and China, that mysterious country, it can always surprise you, we just need time."

"Well, I'll be fine. I'll be with you all the time." Kaiya nestled in Imerton's arms obediently, but she kept sighing in her heart. Time, this is what I'm most worried about now. will crash.

In the evening, they returned to the hotel they had been renting for a while. As soon as they entered, the concierge handed them a telegram, which was a letter from Dr. Jones.Imerton took it quickly and took it apart by himself.

At the beginning, Jones briefly recounts that his father was captured, and then he was forced to work for the Nazis to find the whereabouts of the Holy Grail, but in the end, the Holy Grail fell into the abyss.Imerton hesitated for a few moments, and finally he seemed to have made a decision. Holding Kaya's hand, he said firmly, "Let's go to the desert again."

Kaiya withdrew her hand, "No, don't even think about it." She immediately turned and went upstairs without any pause in her steps.

Imerton hurriedly followed her, chased after her, took a big step, grabbed her sleeve, and immediately hugged her in his arms, "Kaya, don't be self-willed, This is a great opportunity, we can't miss it, you have to believe in my ability."

"Believe in your ability is to watch you foolishly go to die." Kaiya tried hard to move herself out of his arms, and looked at him coldly, with almost no emotion, "Imorton , has your brain been corrupted by the comfort of these days, that road is no return, it is the way to hell. The Holy Grail is back where it should be, you can't find it, you shouldn't Impossible hope of wasting time. So, I don't want to hear that from you again."

"But." He still hesitated, "I don't want to let go of any possibility."

"Give up, it's much more difficult than getting Ansuna's soul out of hell, we can have a lot of choices with this time." Kaiya insisted, "Of course I cherish my life very much. Imerton, do you think I'll make a decision that's not good for me?"

Kaiya directly put an end to their discussion, "Go to China, Tibet, where we brought those two mastiffs back. There is healing power there, I can feel it, very pure. There, The forces of darkness will see nowhere to hide."

"But the power that is too bright will also burn you. You are not pure now. You have a lot of dark breath on you, and they will destroy you as a filthy thing." Imerton tightly hugged her waist Body, "I can't let you take risks."

"But this is the only way. The power of darkness has begun to expand. If there is no such power to stop it, it won't take long for me to transform."
