#557 - Chapter 44: Star Harvester (I)

In the dead of night, all was silent, and a figure appeared silently like a ghost. The pyramids were long closed to visitors at this hour, but several cleaners in orange vests were still working diligently. Holding their cleaning tools, they slowly exited the Great Pyramid, as if unwilling to break the silence. The guard at the entrance lightly pulled up the barrier, symbolically blocking the entrance, and then quietly left.

The perimeter of the pyramids is patrolled by security guards, as there are still some valuable cultural relics to protect. However, most of these precious relics have been collected into museums, leaving only some worthless stones inside the pyramids. Moreover, due to the lack of air circulation inside the pyramids, no one is allowed to stay there at night.

Like a light and nimble bird, Liu Yuan landed silently at the entrance at the very top of the pyramid. This location is high and not easy to climb, so most tourists choose to enter from the lower robber's tunnel. Although the lights inside the pyramid were off, and the surroundings were plunged into darkness, this did not hinder Liu Yuan's progress at all. Like an old friend familiar with the terrain, he easily returned to the Queen's Chamber.

Liu Yuan activated his telekinetic power, his body floating lightly in mid-air, and reached out to touch the mural on the ceiling. This time, his perception was even clearer, as if he could see through the darkness. The brick area of about twelve square meters above his head was actually a slightly convex stone slab! The stone slab fit perfectly with the concave frame above, and from below, the two looked like a single entity. Many archaeologists focused their attention on the King's Chamber, and no one expected that the passage was hidden above the Queen's Chamber.

This stone slab was extremely heavy, weighing about a ton. Liu Yuan pressed his palms tightly against it, and then, with his own strength alone, the stone slab began to rise slowly. With a "creak, creak, creak" of friction, the opening behind the stone slab finally appeared, and a strong airflow surged, instantly sucking the air in the room into the passage.

The passage was extremely well sealed, so not much dust flew out. The surrounding walls were smooth, but the space was quite wide, with a length, width, and height of more than two and a half meters. Even if ordinary humans accidentally discovered this place, it would be difficult to enter smoothly.

So Liu Yuan couldn't help but wonder if this passage was not designed for human passage at all. He jumped into the passage without hesitation, and with the help of telekinetic power, his feet left the ground, and he moved quickly in the passage like a ghost.

The passage seemed to be endless, with countless turns winding upwards. It was eerily quiet inside, and only Liu Yuan's breathing could be heard clearly. The ball of light in his hand, like a bright lamp, illuminated the road ahead, and the surrounding walls reflected a faint light, as if he were in a mysterious world. Liu Yuan reached out and gently touched the wall, and was surprised to find that the walls here were no longer cold, hard stone, but a smooth and cold metal material.

Finally, Liu Yuan saw the exit ahead, which was a spacious platform with a tightly closed metal door above it. He walked forward excitedly and urged his telekinetic power to try to push the door open, but no matter how hard he tried, the metal door remained motionless.

Liu Yuan pressed his hands tightly on the door and suddenly exerted force. "Thump!" A muffled sound echoed in the passage, and the entire wall trembled slightly. However, although Liu Yuan did not use his full strength, it was still more than ten tons of force, and the door remained motionless.

Liu Yuan frowned, thinking to himself: This is obviously a door that requires a password to open. But he carefully observed the surroundings and found no combination lock or any other obvious opening mechanism. In fact, if Liu Yuan was willing to spend some effort, he would be fully capable of forcibly destroying this door, but he did not want to cause too much noise. After all, he was not worried about being discovered by the Egyptian government, but because the Decepticons and the Fallen might still be secretly monitoring this place. Bringing them in too early would bring a lot of unnecessary trouble.

Could it be that only Transformers can enter? Liu Yuan's heart moved, and he immediately grabbed Frenzy out of his small world. This round robot slammed onto the platform with a "clang." Perhaps because it was not fully awake, Frenzy's mechanical arms were still waving randomly in the air, but it quickly came to its senses. After looking around warily, it immediately asked Liu Yuan respectfully, "Master, what are your orders?"

Liu Yuan pointed to the metal door and said, "Go and see that door. Is there any way to open it?"

Red light flashed in Frenzy's electronic eyes, and it began to scan the metal door and the surrounding walls with rays. Then, its two mechanical hands quickly clicked on the wall, and a metal ball in the very center of the metal door suddenly fell off.

Frenzy said apologetically to Liu Yuan, "I'm sorry, Master, the energy here has long been exhausted. It will take some time to open this door. But please rest assured, I will definitely be able to do it, but you need to wait a little longer."

Frenzy held the metal ball in its palm, and a beam of blue energy light shot out from its palm, injecting into the metal ball. As energy was injected, the metal ball gradually lit up and emitted a buzzing sound. Frenzy put the metal ball back in, and then the metal door slowly rose, revealing a deep passage.

Liu Yuan was overjoyed, it seemed that Frenzy had found the right way. A musty smell permeated the passage, and Liu Yuan carefully stepped into it.

Frenzy walked in front: "Master, the Decepticons also built this place. But the time should be very long ago, at least no one has been here for thousands of years."

Perhaps after being charged, the metal walls radiated a faint light as they walked along, which was enough for illumination. Then they entered a hall, which seemed very empty.

Liu Yuan threw the ball of light he was holding into the air, "Boom ~" The soft light illuminated the entire hall. In the spacious and bright hall, besides the cold and hard metal base, there was only a tower-shaped mysterious instrument standing alone. The shape of this instrument is peculiar. At first glance, it has some similarities with the signal transfer tower, but the smooth metal lines reveal a strong sense of science fiction, which is amazing.

Liu Yuan frowned slightly, staring at the device in front of him. This thing should be the Star Harvester. He speculated in his mind how to use it, because he did not see anything like a console.

He turned to look at Frenzy beside him and asked, "Frenzy, do you know what this is?"
