Chapter Ninety-Eight: Reaping the Devil's Favor

The next morning, everyone went to the market in Cairo to buy cats, and Misaka's instinct was that he could encounter something this time.

Cairo as the core city of the British North African colony, and the Suez Canal through the Mediterranean Sea and the Red Sea, the market can be said to be dazzling, in addition to ordinary daily necessities, the most is a variety of antiques, Misaka saw a lot of antique dealers on the shelves have some ancient amulets or their remains, but unfortunately either fakes or damaged for too long have been completely scrapped, in the market for most of the day did not see anything worth paying attention to.

Although the cats in the pet store are very cute, they are all ordinary cats, and Zhan Lan chose a cute three-flowered cat as a talisman for the team. This little guy obviously perceives Misaka's cat bloodline, although it was bought by Zhan Lan, but it has been relying on Misaka's body, Misaka also likes this little guy very much, and specially made a defensive pendant for it to wear, so that it is not easy to be killed in seconds even if it encounters the Inzhou team.

"Kill it, kill those monsters!" When I left the market, several children were throwing stones in one direction in the side alley.

"Huh?" Misaka's goofy hair spun around at high speed and pointed to that side, as if something was summoning Misaka, and it was likely that there would be something that would interest Misaka.

"It's so damnable!" After Misaka drove away these bear children, he found that they threw stones and smashed a broken box, which was actually a litter of kittens, the cat mother was scarred and dying, and the two small milk cats on the side were estimated to be less than a month from the size of the cat, and they were pitifully "meowing", I am afraid they don't know that their mother is going to die, if they just knew that these bear children are bullying the poor cat family, they will definitely not drive away, at least they will curse for a few months to make these bastards suffer a little.

Misaka was surprised when he stepped forward to check the mother cat's injury, not because the mother cat was seriously injured, but because the mother cat actually had two tails, it was a cat, no wonder those bear children said it was a monster. At this time, Zheng Zha and the others also came over, and they were all surprised to see the cat in front of Misaka, and they discussed whether the cat mother was an ordinary genetic mutation or a monster.

"I didn't expect to meet cats in Egypt." Sighing, Misaka began to treat the hapless fellow, but unfortunately the effect was very poor, and the wound showed little signs of healing. The results of the detailed examination again made people desperate, although the skin trauma was severe but not fatal, the fatal thing was that the soul seemed to have been damaged in some way, according to Yuki, this damage had been almost a month, and now it has reached its limit. But there is good news, the two children are just a little weak and have no other problems.

"After pregnancy, the strength declined, and the enemy was injured and fled desperately, barely giving birth to a child, but the injury was serious and weak, it is estimated that a few days ago, I forcibly dragged the injured body to take care of the child, and today I finally reached the limit..."Misaka gently stroked the poor mother cat, this situation does not need to be thought about to know the way, great maternal love......

"Don't talk nonsense about Misaka, fellow clansmen, although Misaka can't save your life, but your child Misaka can still take care of it, if you agree, then Misaka will conclude a contract with them (just checked and confirmed that they are all females), give them the strength to grow, and they are the sword of Misaka, and they will never abandon each other." Misaka said something that made Zheng Zhe and the others inexplicable, if Hideyoshi heard it, he would understand that Misaka was going to sign a magic pet contract with these two kittens. Although the Demon Pet of the Temporal Authority is not as powerful as the Heroic Spirit in the Holy Grail War, it is far beyond the concept of the Demon Pet of ordinary mages, and more importantly, as long as Misaka does not die, then the Demon Pet can be resurrected even if it is dead, although the cost is a bit high.

Misaka did this because she wanted to help the kittens, but more importantly, because their potential was strong enough. In the soul examination just now, Misaka found that the ancestor of this cat is definitely not simple, there is actually a trace of divinity in her body, although it is already meager to the extreme, Yuxi analyzes that it is likely to be a combination of a trace of blood of the goddess Buster and the Far Eastern cat. The magic pet is not just a cat and dog, otherwise why hasn't Naye ever contracted a magic pet like Fett, although the lewd beast ferret has always served as a magic pet, but it is a human change, and it can't be counted.

Misaka is very envious of the two cat pets of a certain admiral of the Time and Space Administration, and if the mother cat agrees, then in a few months Misaka will have two assistants with great potential.

"Meow..."The mother cat barely raised her head and rubbed Misaka's hand, and died. A force was transmitted to Misaka, and it seemed to be some kind of blessing buff, and it seemed that he agreed.

"Poor mother cat..."The body of the mother cat is temporarily stored in the space bag, and when the team battle is over, find a place to bury it, and the two kittens are handed over to Kuroko and put in the subspace of the time and space goblins to take care of them first, and there is no breast milk for the time being, but the nutrition of the magic nutrient solution is definitely not worse than breast milk, but the taste is slightly worse.

"Didn't we leave the market a long time ago? I didn't drink a bar in the morning? O'Connor, who led the way, was confused, he remembered that he had already come out of the market, and now he looked at his watch for an hour, why hadn't he left far?

Zheng Zha looked at each other and smiled bitterly, Qinmei, the child is really of the same race as the cat after strengthening the cat's ear mother, just now in order to treat the cat, he actually hypnotized O'Connor, although the cat mother died after the most ugly, but Qinmei said that these two little milk cats have noble blood, and they will be very good magic pets, and they were taken in.

After this episode, it was close to noon, and O'Connor took Misaka and his party to the port, where the heroine Eve and her brother Jonathan were waiting, and although O'Connor was happy to get it, Misaka and his party were not welcome.

Eve was very frank and a little arrogant, and as soon as she waited for O'Connor to come to her, she immediately asked urgently, "Didn't you say that you were the only one who took us?" Why are there so many men and women? First of all, I won't afford to travel for so many people...... You, you're O'Connor? ”

Naturally, the prisoners in the prison will not look good, but after O'Connor tidied up and changed into new clothes, he still looks relatively handsome, and before he speaks, the swaggering Eve is stunned, and she just has time to force a jerky "hello ......" from her mouth, and her brother Jonathan immediately took over the topic and spoke.

"Ha Luha, today is really suitable for adventure, even if there are more people...... Still, O'Connor, are they really reliable? No, of course, you know, I mean the coveting of gold, the capital of the dead is not enough for so many people......" Jonathan Haron laughed twice, and he whispered as he put his arm around O'Connor's shoulder.

O'Connor nodded, "Yes, the weather is indeed adventurous today, as for them, they should not be interested in gold, and they are enough to protect us during the journey...... But I was more worried about ......" before the words fell, he reached into his arms, took out his wallet and looked at it a few times, and then carefully put it back in his arms. Rather than worrying about Misaka's side to divide the fruits of the expedition, he is more worried about his future brother-in-law stealing his wallet.

Jonathan's best aspect is stealing from other people's arms, and he smiled awkwardly: "Don't worry, I won't make a move on my own people, hehe, you say they won't be interested in gold?" So...... They're rich, right? ”

Zheng Zhe walked over and pretended to be an expedition privately sponsored by a wealthy American tycoon, but this identity aroused Eve's disgust, she had been looking at O'Connor, and when she heard Zheng Zhe's words, she hurriedly said: "What, what! We didn't join your expedition! We are looking for the existence of the City of the Dead in our private capacity, so why should we heed your advice? We don't have to pay any tariffs or anything like that, we can still afford it......"

Zheng Zha hurriedly shook his head and said, "I think you may have misunderstood, our purpose is just 'exploration', and we are not interested in the gold obtained from exploration......

Eve's reaction became even more intense, and she almost blushed and shouted, "I know, your purpose is the Black Dead Bible or the Golden Resurrection True Scripture, right?" Don't! No way! Even if such an ancient document really existed, how could it be handed over to that rich man, absolutely absolutely impossible! Such a document is a treasure of history and culture, and I will never give it to you! ”

Although Zheng Zhe repeatedly promised not to take anything but "adventure", Eve still did not give up, and in the end, O'Connor used to talk about it, so that he finally settled Eve with all his tricks.

Zheng Zha used money offensive to charter the first class, and when the money fan Jonathan saw this, he immediately got up with Zheng Zhe and a few brothers, and circled around everyone from time to time, but the purpose was ......

"Uh!! Uncle snatched Misaka's lollipop! Misaka sat on the ground and cried, while Jonathan stood awkwardly with a lollipop in his hand, and he ran to Misaka's side to steal chickens and dogs from Misaka under the pretense that he liked little girls, but he didn't find his wallet but somehow had a lollipop.

"It's rude!" His brother's behavior made Eve embarrassed, snatching a lollipop from Lori's hand, even a third-rate thug can't do it! She dragged Jonathan into the cabin with a blank face, and her brother needed to reflect on it.

"I really just wanted to say hello to that kid..."Jonathan waved a lollipop to explain, but his argument was ineffective, and the screams from inside could still be heard through the sturdy iron door as the hatch closed.

Belly black Lori! This is the unanimous idea of several men in Zheng Zha, if you offend Qinmei, you can play yourself to death without relying on strength.

I actually ran to Misaka to steal something, and the Lord of Shadows Mess came (narrator: You're a god anyway, and you pretend to cry, what about your tricks?). Misaka: It's already been used to exchange for Silly Hair. Aside:...... After Jonathan was cleaned up, he hid out of Misaka as soon as he saw him, and he was afraid of Misaka.

At lunch, the Eve siblings pointed at Misaka and called it "unscientific", because Misaka ate more food than his body but didn't even bulge his belly. Eve said that a foodie like Misaka must not join the expedition, and the team's food for a week is not enough for Misaka to eat for a day, and the desert is fatal to run out of food, while Jonathan muttered a sentence of "black belly gluttony Lori" and hurried away.

Zheng Zha had to make a guarantee again, saying that they would never have to worry about the supplies, and they would bring enough food before stopping. However, after receiving the guarantee, Eve turned to ask Misaka how to maintain her figure, and it seems that no matter which dimension of ancient and modern China and foreign countries, girls spare no effort in the pursuit of beauty. Sweat! After the end, he had to cover up the past with his mysterious oriental kung fu that he had practiced since he was a child, anyway, Misaka believed it, and Eve didn't care if he believed it or not.

After dinner, O'Connor spread out a map of Egypt and began to explain the journey: "Follow the river downstream, until tomorrow at noon disembark at this ferry, and from there walk west for about half a day, to the largest and only oasis on the road to the capital of the dead." It was also a nearby trading place for merchants, where we would buy supplies such as camels and fresh water, after which we would continue southwest, and if nothing else, after about three days and three nights, we would reach the tower of Hamna, the capital of death......"

Eve hurriedly asked, "Accident?" What kind of accident is it? ”

O'Connor didn't say much, he suddenly threw the package he was carrying from the ground on the table, the package was full of weapons and ammunition, pistols, rifles, and bullets of various calibers, enough to arm several people.

Eve looked at the package and was stunned, she said stupidly, "I...... Am I getting something wrong? We're going on an adventure, right? Are we going to war? ”

O'Connor ignored her, but picked up a pistol and loaded it with bullets, and as he reloaded, he said, "Miss, something is not quite right in that place...... There's something underneath the tomb, and there's a group of mysterious people guarding it...... It is a veritable capital of the dead, and there are many more people dying there than the living who are about to go there! ”

"Expeditions are not about sightseeing, but even when you go out to travel, you need to be armed in this kind of area. In addition to conventional weapons, there is also something to deal with ghosts, this is an amulet made by Misaka, and it can be worn on the body to ward off evil spirits. "Misaka gave Eve and O'Connor the sapphire amulet that could defend against attacks, in case they were injured by a stray bullet, it would be troublesome, and there was another one that was Jonathan's, but that disgusting monster Misaka didn't want to touch it, so he asked O'Connor to hand it over.

At this moment, Xiao Honglu, who had been listening quietly, suddenly asked, "When is it?" ”

Everyone was stunned for a moment, Zheng Zha, looked at his watch and said, "It's more than ten o'clock......" He was stunned for a moment, and then saw Xiao Honglu nodding at him slightly, the black-clothed man in the plot was coming.

"Eve, go get the key...... You go get the map and that disc, Overlord, Zhang Jie, you protect her all the way...... O'Connor, come with me to Jonathan, he's supposed to be playing poker with those Americans right now, right? The rest of the people were on guard on the spot, and if something happened, they listened to the orders of Misaka, Zhan Lan, Ming Yanwei and Zhao Yingkong...... Let's go, the story begins! Zheng Zhe picked up the guy and ran to the deck.

"Misaka and Kuroko are going to provide long-range fire support, and the newcomers should be careful not to run around, and call for help quickly when they encounter enemies." Misaka and Kuroko also took out their weapons and ran to the commanding heights.

As soon as I came to the commanding heights near the chimney, I heard gunshots below, and in the middle of the night, I don't know where a large number of black-clothed people suddenly appeared from the road, there was no sign at all, and the radar and optical monitor suddenly appeared, and even Misaka's stupid hair didn't have any warning in advance, and most of this unscientific incident was the main god playing ghosts.

"Kuroko, use a tranquilizer bullet." There is no projection live ammunition in the sniper rifle, and everyone will still be allies after the mummy is resurrected, so it is better to kill as little as possible.

The man in black accelerated the attack after the gunshot, there were gunshots everywhere, the field of vision of the infrared night vision device was full of bright spots, in addition to the dozens of people who had already attacked the ship, there were waves of men in black killing the ship behind them, and even a few heavy machine guns were moved to the shore to shoot at us, large-caliber bullets hit the ship made of thin steel plates to the ground, and from time to time unlucky crew and passengers were knocked to the ground.

"Kuroko, fire suppression!" Misaka and Kuroko began to use sniper rifles to suppress the opponent's heavy machine gun positions, relying on the marksmanship practiced by Stalingrad, the men in black who operated the heavy machine guns were beaten to the ground one by one, and soon no one dared to approach these heavy machine guns.

Although the firepower of everyone's counterattack was very ferocious, the attack of the man in black who sacrificed his life still ignited the steamer, and seeing that the entire steamer was about to sink, everyone jumped into the water and swam to the shore, each veteran team member brought a newcomer, and Misaka and Kuroko took two and quietly teleported to the shore.

Climbing ashore, Zheng Zha and Zhang Jie began to count the number of people, fortunately, everyone was not injured by stray bullets and no one was lost, if any newcomer didn't pay attention to running away and didn't die, they had to wait to be wiped out, everyone didn't want to lose points in confusion.

Suddenly, there was a roar from across the river, and a lewd man stood on the other side of the river and shouted, "O'Connor! Hey, O'Connor! Ha Lu Ha, it seems that you are miserable, all the horses are on our side, Ha Lu Ha! ”

"Hey, Benny, it looks like you're on the wrong shore, hahaha......" O'Connor smiled back, and the result was that everyone went the wrong way without a horse, alas, both of them led the way (9).
