The next seven days.
Moses kept his promise, and the frogs in the houses, courtyards, and fields disappeared overnight.
It brings a rare tranquility to this land.
However, this tranquility did not last long, and a new disaster quietly descended like a shadow.
The earth seemed to be awakened by an invisible force, and signs of life suddenly surged in the dust.
Countless tiny lice quickly covered every inch of Egypt like a black tide.
These uninvited guests, like millions of tiny needles, pierce the skin and bring indescribable itching and pain.
This plunged the Egyptians into unprecedented suffering.
Faced with this sudden disaster, the Nile River still echoed with a resolute rejection.
Moses pleaded with him to release the innocent Hebrews, but all he received was Pharaoh's cold, rock-hard attitude.
The negotiations broke down.
The plague continued to advance towards Egypt.
The next seven days.
In the sky, dark clouds no longer foreshadow rain, but instead release swarms of flies.
They blocked out the sun and not only invaded the people's homes, but even the Pharaoh's magnificent palace was not spared.
These uninvited visitors were buzzing in every corner.
Carrying disease and fear, the world of the Egyptians became dark and desperate.
Seven days later, on the banks of the Nile River.
Once again, Pharaoh closed the door of mercy and turned a deaf ear to Moses' pleas and the people's complaints.
The following seven days pushed Egypt into the abyss.
The livestock, which were the mainstay of the Egyptians' lives, suddenly suffered an outbreak of plague, and died one after another.
Only empty pens and desperate eyes were left.
The food shortage was like adding insult to injury, and the shadow of famine quickly enveloped the entire country.
Hunger and despair formed a huge web that tightly bound the Egyptians.
Plagues of blood, frogs, lice, and flies pushed this ancient land into the abyss of despair.
People's faces were filled with fear and helplessness, and they were tortured beyond words.
In this chaos, Feng Feng and the other six did not follow up.
They resolutely isolated themselves from all the noise of the outside world and buried themselves deep in the banks of the Nile.
There is only one thought in my mind - to find a way to solve this series of natural disasters!
The river bank is filled with an atmosphere of urgency. Every day from the first light of dawn to the arrival of night is an extreme challenge to wisdom and perseverance.
They no longer paid attention to the power game between Pharaoh and Moses.
The shore negotiations every Sunday are their only window to obtain information from the outside world.
But those complicated political struggles and the resistance of the Hebrews were nothing but wind in their ears and could not shake their inner goals.
Unfortunately, even with such efforts, no solution was found.
Hard work doesn't always pay off.
The waters of the Nile still glowed an ominous blood-red.
The colors were so bright that they were dazzling, as if they were Jehovah's most ruthless mockery of mankind's insignificance and powerlessness.
Jin Shile looked a little depressed at the moment.
He sat heavily on the shore which was scorched by the scorching sun, his eyes full of frustration and unwillingness.
"For three weeks now, we've been running around like headless chickens, and we haven't found any sign of solving the disaster yet!"
They searched every inch of land that might have hidden clues.
From ancient documents to folk legends and mysterious rituals.
I tried them all, but none of them worked.
The blood color in the Nile River is like the mark of some ancient curse, stubbornly refusing to be erased by any force.
There is no rationality at all!
"It's all supernatural power, save the hell!"
Shile complained indignantly, with a hint of self-mockery in his tone.
Yunyang was busy driving away the flies and lice that kept invading his body.
He frowned and looked extremely irritated.
"Yes, if the next disaster is really an animal plague, it will be difficult for us to hide by the river and conduct research peacefully."
There was a hint of helplessness and anxiety in his words, and his tone revealed deep worry about unknown disasters.
All around, the croaking of frogs and the buzzing of flies blended into one.
These creatures, which have increased dramatically due to the changes in the illusion, are like shadows in a nightmare, everywhere.
The people in the illusion saw human-shaped gaps on the river bank several times, and they were almost discovered.
If they continue like this, they will be no different from being able to disappear without leaving any trace.
“Every time I want to concentrate on researching something, I have to compete with these uninvited guests first.”
Feng Feng stood up and looked through the dense swarm of insects at the river in the distance that seemed calm but actually had undercurrents.
He took a deep breath, trying to find a glimmer of clarity amidst the chaos.
"We've searched the illusion thoroughly. If there really was a ready-made answer, we would have found it long ago."
"Could it be that our method is wrong? Should we look for the answer in the original text of the Bible?"
Mai Xuan shook his head, with a bitter smile.
"But at the end of the original Bible, it was Moses who stopped the disaster. It's not a miracle we can easily replicate."
His words revealed his helplessness towards reality.
Gao Chen was silent for a moment, then suddenly spoke in a low and firm voice.
"If we can find the pope who escaped, perhaps we can solve all this."
"He was able to sense something was wrong and slip away on the first day. He must have information we didn't know."
When Pope Emerick Walter was mentioned, a complex emotion surged in everyone's heart.
There is both doubt about the unknown and a desire for the truth.
To be able to slip away on the first day, the other party must have discovered some important information.
This is their Christian artifact illusion.
Although they never found the Israeli Christian Pope Emeric Water in the royal city.
But they all knew in their hearts that the other party had been avoiding them.
Instead of really disappearing out of thin air.
The Pope, who could not be found in the royal city, seemed to have become an untouchable mystery in their hearts.
At this moment, Tanai's voice was like a clear stream, penetrating everyone's thoughts.
"Wait, are we too stuck in traditional thinking?"
“Perhaps the answer is indeed hidden in the Bible, but the way to find the answer is not necessarily to read the text directly.”
There was a hint of excitement in his words, as if he had glimpsed some possibility.
"If the Exodus is not just legend but real history, then it must have a reasonable solution!"
“Then the Hebrews must have found wisdom to deal with disasters!”
"We should try to use scientific methods to decipher those ancient stories and find hidden clues!"
When Feng Feng heard this, a gleam of light flashed in his eyes, as if the fire of hope was ignited by Tanai's words.
"You mean, using science to interpret mythology?"
It sounds crazy and challenging, but maybe it's the breakthrough they need.
