1178 Bully the Mountain, but Don’t Bully the Water (1/2)

Zhang Zian looked where Galaxy was looking and saw that the surfer did not plan on leaving the water and coming ashore, but he did not seem to be meeting any danger.

”Galaxy, you said that that person could meet with danger?” he asked.

Galaxy stared at the wave-splitting figure with burning eyes and nodded. ”Meow. He will be washed away by the water and sink forever, and people will never find him again...”

It turned its head to look towards him. ”You will be detained and questioned by the police because you called the police. The police will suspect that you killed that person, and you will lose the chance to go into the desert with the professor…”

Saying that, Galaxy looked towards the rental car that was far away.

Zhang Zian felt cold in his heart. He knew that Galaxy would not make jokes, let alone make jokes about such things. Since it had said that the surfer would be in danger of his life, it must be something that is about to happen.

Based on Galaxy's description, the surfer would be washed away by the seawater, and even his body would not be able to be found.

As no other witnesses could be found here, he would be detained by Egyptian police as a homicide suspect because he reported the case to them. He did not know how long he would be detained. But it was obvious that Wei Kang's scientific research team couldn't miss the opportunity to wait for him, a non-staff member, so they would go into the desert by themselves.

That was very possible. Egyptian law enforcement was already rotten to the core. They could not hope that they would be very good at their jobs.

It also seemed like Galaxy had not finished saying everything. It had kept some things to itself and didn't say them out loud.

Since it did not say, there must be some reason why it did not say, and he did not ask, because he knew it very well. The things that Galaxy did not say out were definitely even worse and scarier—could the science investigation team walk safely out of the desert after leaving him behind?

Galaxy took another look at the car. Who was it looking at?

These days, Fina seemed to be interested in the investigation team's itinerary for some reason. Other elfins would certainly not, but would it follow the team into the vast desert, and then would it be that it had gone but could not return?

A whole series of bad things in his imagination started here and now.

Of course, Zhang Zian had a choice. He could choose to turn around and leave, pretending that he did not see the surfer. Anyway, the surfer was in good shape now and was not in danger for the time being.

As long as he did not report it to the police, then that series of things would not happen after.

When the surfer's family and friends found him or her missing and called the police, and after the police found his or her car here, ten days to half a month would likely have passed. After all, Egypt had no surveillance cameras over the streets and alleys, and there are only a few traffic lights. By that time, Zhang Zian may have already left Egypt and returned to China.

A situation that was even more likely was that the Egyptian police would not take the disappearance of the surfer as something major after receiving the police report from the surfer's family members, and they would try to find some excuse to explain that the surfer had left home. After all, they had more important things to do, such as collecting protection fees and blackmailing tourists for their own pockets. The surfer would disappear forever just like that. When a rock sunk into the sea, not even a ripple would appear.

In 2013, a mother and daughter pair from China who'd traveled to Egypt disappeared in Dahab, a famous diving tourist spot in the Red Sea. In order not to affect tourism, the local government of Egypt said at first that they had secretly gone over to Israel. It was not until 2017, four years later, that the real culprits were found. Their ashes were long cold, and it was even a case solved under the supervision of the Chinese Embassy.

A missing local young man—besides his family members, who would care?

However, if Zhang Zian had not known that the surfer was going to encounter danger, that was one thing, but since Galaxy had already told him, if he watched the surfer be swept away by the sea without taking any action, he would be condemned by his conscience in the future.

Galaxy had told him about what was going to happen beforehand, and so he had other choices besides calling the police.
