Chapter 332: My Silly Sister
Shen Mo no longer hesitated, and walked straight into the Museum of Antiquities, unlike modern museums, this museum has no entrance fees or access controls, and those who want to enter it only need to bypass the two armed security guards at the door, and there is no problem.
Dealing with two ordinary people even with guns, Shen Mo can naturally avoid their sight quietly, and at the speed of silence, use a stone to divert the attention of the two of them slightly, and then blend directly into it.
When Shen Mo walked down the corridor of the antiquities museum and went deep into the library, he saw at a glance a blonde beauty dressed in a European-style corset, stepping on a high staircase, holding four or five ancient books, hurriedly sorting out the collection, she was classifying the ancient books, it was obvious that she was Evelyn who knew ancient Egyptian and ancient monk hieroglyphs.
If Silence could not read the ancient Egyptian language of the Black Book of the Dead, Evelyn would become an extremely important character.
Therefore, Silence must get closer to Evelyn and gain her basic affection, at least willing to teach the spells in the Silent Sutra.
And his opportunity was not long in coming.
Yes! An exclamation was heard, and Evelyn, who was sorting, was in big trouble, and she encountered the last thing that the people who climbed the ladder wanted to encounter, that is, the straight ladder was up, and the person had not yet come down.
Evelyn was immediately frightened, nearly two meters high straight ladder, if she fell down hard, injury is inevitable, and in the original plot, Evelyn even turned the entire library upside down, knocked down all the bookcases, messed up all the book classifications, that is the result of her nearly half a year of hard work, the department was in ashes in an instant.
Dada! Silence's eyes were quick, and the dots under his feet were connected, and he immediately turned into a strong wind, and flew directly to Evelyn's side, just before she was about to crash into the bookcase, she rescued it gorgeously and perfectly, and what is even more romantic is that Silent did not forget to give Evelyn a big princess hug, coincidentally, Evelyn's previous life was indeed the princess of the Egyptian pharaoh Seti I.
"Ahh Thank you! If you hadn't saved me, I don't know what terrible things would have happened in a moment. ”
The English in Evelyn's mouth was translated directly into Chinese and reached Shen Mo's ears, her face flushed, and her eyes were full of gratitude.
Silently bowed his head and smiled, and replied to Evelyn in his arms very gentlemanly.
"For people who need help, that's what I'm supposed to do, you're welcome."
Silent gentlemanly behavior, as well as a strong and majestic mind, immediately won Evelyn's favor, just as in the original plot, when Evelyn saw O'Connor's gentlemanly demeanor, she began to have a good impression of O'Connor, and O'Connor just helped Evelyn to carry a heavier salute, compared with Silent's life-saving grace, it was important.
As Evelyn, who has English and Egyptian ancestry, their family is a well-known gentleman except for Jonathan's money-hungry old rascal, and naturally they also like men with gentlemanly demeanor.
"Please let me go first, sir... Well? Are you Chinese? Evelyn's face was blushing, but there was also a hint of surprise, after all, it was 1926, and China was still in a period of war, and in the eyes of these white people, there was some prejudice.
"Yes! As you can see, I am a Chinese. ”
Evelyn was stunned and surprised.
"So, how did you come to Egypt, this place is really rare for you. Moreover, you speak English very well. ”
The silent Chinese language was translated directly into English in Evelyn's ears.
And Evelyn's reaction to questioning the origin of silence is not that Evelyn is abrupt and impolite, but the inevitable reflection of contemporary white people on the origin of silence, just like if you, as a contemporary Chinese, suddenly bumped into a foreigner who claimed to be from the Middle East, you are naturally full of curiosity and surprise, wanting to know what it is like to live under fire and guns every day, and what kind of desire prompts him to come to you.
In Evelyn's memory, the current China is synonymous with backwardness and war, and there is no essential difference from the contemporary Middle East.
Shen Mo has long been ready to answer such a question.
"I am a traveler in pursuit of mystery and unknown powers, you can call me Shen, I have been very interested in the history of ancient Egypt for a short period of time, so I came here alone, wanting to find the secrets buried under the yellow sand."
Shen Mo's words are very vague, but for Evelyn, who has been addicted to ancient Egyptian culture for two generations, Shen Mo is simply a like-minded little friend! She was immediately intrigued, and even abandoned her prejudice against the silent race, because in Evelyn's eyes, a gentleman who could pursue ancient Egyptian culture could not be much worse.
It's a pity that Evelyn didn't expect that Shen Mo was an old rascal pretending to be tender, and he came to deceive her as a little girl, and in a few words, he had already eaten her thoroughly.
"Shen, my name is Evelyn! Like you, I'm very interested in ancient Egyptian culture, and I thought we could have a deeper conversation, how about now? Do you have time? ”
Shen Mo didn't expect that he would get along with Evelyn so easily, he originally prepared more backhands and routines, but it was just one move to save the beauty of the hero, plus a move to share the same interests, and he took Evelyn down, it was so simple, it was not a little more simple than the women who had seen various routines in contemporary times.
Pretty! Simplicity! Easy to set! It's simply synonymous with women at the moment, no wonder all colleagues want to travel back to ancient times, and they can do whatever they want with just a bad routine.
"Sorry! Evelyn, I don't have time to talk to you about the history of Ancient Egypt right now, because I'm looking for someone who brings me something, something very important, and I think you probably know him. ”
Shen Mo rejected Evelyn's invitation for in-depth communication, and immediately went straight to the point to express his intentions.
Evelyn was intrigued again, "I know him?!" You can be more specific, if I know that person, I will definitely help you find him. ”
Shen Mo smiled slightly and thanked, "Thank you, your heart is as beautiful as your face." The guy I'm looking for is not tall, thin, has a lewd temperament, and he is extraordinarily greedy for women and money..."
Who is the character described by Silence? Naturally, it is Evelyn's brother Jonathan, according to Shen Mo's understanding of the plot, the key to the Black Sutra of the Dead is in Jonathan's hands, that is, in this museum of antiquities.
"Wait..." Evelyn had already guessed who Shen Mo was looking for, and she muttered angrily, "Shen, I know who you're looking for, that damn bastard is out there again, he's always looking for trouble like this, again and again... Don't worry, if he takes your things, I will let him return them to you. Now, I'll take you to him. ”
"Thank you, I just saw him walk into this museum, he must be in some house right now."
Ding dong! There was a strange sound in the next room at the right time, and both Silent and Evelyn heard it, and tacitly believed that it must have been made by Jonathan.
Evelyn puffed out her cheeks, and there was really nothing she could do about his troublesome brother.
"Jonathan, you come out for me and see what good you have done this time! Immediately apologize to the handsome and handsome gentleman and give him back his things. ”
Uh-huh?! Hiding in the mummy's coffin, Jonathan, who was with the mummy, couldn't help but stiffen, he sensed the resentment and anger from his sister Evelyn, and subconsciously touched the prototype box in his trouser pocket, remembering everything he had done from the drunken drunkard in order to get it, shouldn't that drunkard be thrown into a prison in Cairo because he had no money? How did you catch up with the museum, damn it, it's so damnable.
Jonathan's first instinct was to run away, but as soon as he got out of the coffin, he saw Silence and Evelyn walk in through the doorway.
Uh-huh? Jonathan was surprised, because he didn't know anyone around his sister Evelyn, and he swore that he had never taken a penny from this man, nor had he slept with this man's wife or woman, or even his daughter.
So what did he come to me for?! Isn't it the wrong person!
Jonathan took a fluke mentality, and a smirk appeared on his face, "Hey! My dear and beautiful sister, what is it that makes you talk like this to your handsome and dashing brother, you know, I am a serious person, and I have never done anything harmful. ”
Bah! Silence and Evelyn spat Jonathan in the face almost in unison, the former had seen Jonathan's obscenity and greed in the movie, and the latter had lived with Jonathan for more than 20 years and had long seen through his essence.
Jonathan was embarrassed, and he retorted, "Okay! I'll admit that I turned over a small mistake today, but that incident had absolutely nothing to do with this gentleman. ”
"Nope! Matter! "Jonathan, you took a box from my friend, it's something extremely important. ”
"What box? I've never seen it at all..."
Call! A strong wind swept by, and Jonathan only felt the silent figure in front of him disappear in place, and by the time he found the silence again, he was already standing beside him, and pulled a box out of his trouser pocket.
"Hey! How can you do that... How can you prove that this box belongs to your friend, which I bought from Thebes at a great price. ”
Shen Mo sneered and threw the box directly to Evelyn, "Miss Evelyn, you can try to twist this box, it will open in response, there should be a map inside, it is a treasure map." ”
Treasure map?!
When Evelyn and Jonathan heard these three words, they directly ignored the speed that Shen Mo had just shown, which was far beyond the speed of ordinary people, and put their eyes and thoughts in the box in their hands.
Bar...
The clatter of the machine's bearings fell, and the box opened, turning into a key, revealing the treasured map inside.
Is there really a map?! This is an ironclad fact. Jonathan really took something from his silent friend and was approached by the other party.
"Ahem! Well, I'll admit, I made a little mistake, and since it's yours, I'll give it back to you. But this treasure map, we shouldn't have a share in it. Jonathan said shamelessly, ignoring his sister's disdainful gaze.
Shen Mo refused again, "I'm sorry, it's impossible to share this treasure map with you, I must take it now and find an expert who knows ancient Egyptian, she may have a chance to share this treasure with us." ”
Evelyn was stunned, staring at the silence in surprise and delight.
What a coincidence! I'm an expert in Ancient Egyptian!
Jonathan immediately stood up and pointed to his sister and said, "Sir, then you don't need to look for it, my sister is the most proficient expert in ancient Egyptian within a radius of thousands of miles, if she is ranked second, no one dares to rank first." ”
Shen Mo pretended to be very surprised, "Really? Evelyn, can you help me read the text on it? ”
Evelyn nodded again and again, and directly opened the map inside the key, "If it is indeed ancient Egyptian, then there is absolutely no problem. ”
Evelyn opened the map, and after only a few moments, excitement and excitement crossed her face.
"This... This is the City of the Dead! Map of Hamna Tower! ”
Jonathan asked, confused, "What is that?" Is there a treasure? How much is it? How many daughters-in-law can I marry? ”
"The Tower of Hamna, the tomb of the pharaohs of the ages, and the burial place of wealth. The wealth in him is enough for you to become the richest man in the world. Silently revealed the origin of Hamnata, and his friendship with Evelyn increased a little again.
"That's right! Hamnata definitely has that kind of wealth, and what is even more valuable is that it is said that two priceless books are buried there, the Golden Sutra of the Sun and the Black Sutra of the Dead, which not only record the history of ancient Egypt, but also record the spells of the ancient Egyptian ministry and the methods of communicating with the gods. It is said that those who acquire them are able to control life and death and become the guardians of the dead. ”
"Miss Evelyn, I want to tell you that these two books are not legends, they are as real as Hamnata Tower."
Evelyn looked at the silent and determined eyes, and the adventurous heart of the whole person was instantly ignited, and she blurted out, "Then what are you waiting for, we will rush to Hamnata at once and find these two priceless books!" As long as I get these two books, I have enough experience and experience to pass the requirements of the archaeology major at Cambridge University..."
"My silly sister! When we find Hamnata, it's the sister of the richest man in the world, and she also attends the fart Cambridge University. ”
For this pair of hot-blooded brothers and sisters, what else could Shen Mo say, it was too simple to take them on his thief ship so simply.
"Miss Evelyn, you may be mistaken. These two priceless books are the fundamental reason why I am looking for the Tower of Hamna, I have no interest in the riches there, you can take them with you, but these two books must be left to me. ”
Jonathan's face was overjoyed, "Brother! This is what you said yourself, you have no interest in wealth, then, you must not take a single gold coin, this is a man's promise. Just give you the book, we have no opinion. ”
Evelyn grimaced, "But... That book is worth a bit more, they can't be measured in money..."
"My silly sister! In this world, you can measure everything except you with money, and if you can't measure it, then you don't have enough money. Believe me, my sister, promise him to take him to Hamnata and we'll divide it like that. ”
Evelyn was silent, apparently struggling with the ownership of the two books.
Shen Mo had expected Evelyn to behave like this, and he had already prepared his words.
