After the dizziness and discomfort caused by space shuttle faded from his mind, Li Xiao woke up from his deep sleep and saw that he was in an office, with ceiling lamps under the ceiling, soft carpets covered with goose down, and posters of young and beautiful blondes posted on the walls, whether it was furniture or arrangement, it looked like the style of the early 20th century in the United States. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

At this moment, two white men walked on the opposite side, one of them wearing gold wire glasses, a blue shirt with a sense of age, and black suspenders. The other is dressed in gray shoulders, a blue denim costume, and shiny shoes, much like a cowboy in a western movie.

"It's time, it's time to get off work, and it's been another boring day. Xiao, how do you look at your drooping eyelids, looking like you haven't woken up. ”

Burns Dao, who was dressed in a strap, walked over and buckled Li Xiao's desktop with the back of his hand, and greeted him.

Seeing Li Xiao's stunned expression, another person, Beni, stepped forward, patted Li Xiao's shoulder and said, "Let's go, let's use alcohol to pass the time in this boring time, you shouldn't have spent the money you got from the last treasure exploration so quickly, right?" ”

As he spoke, he was about to pull Li Xiao outside.

"The money from the treasure hunt?"

Li Xiao is a little unsure, is this related to his professional identity?

At the same time, his gaze shrank suddenly, and his body shook, instinctively trying to break free. But seeing that the two of them had no malicious intent, and they were colleagues, Li Xiao let down his guard slightly, smiled on his face, and followed the two out of this richly decorated room.

The sun is setting, and the night outside is already slowly falling.

Wandering through the wide streets of New York, you can see high-rise buildings on both sides of the road, either pointed or rounded, rising into the sky and piercing into the clouds.

Tram trains traverse the staggered elevated railways. On the sparkling Hudson estuary, steamboats whistle as they pass by, and long lines of cars stream in and out of the Brooklyn Bridge.

However, Li Xiao soon discovered that this was only a superficial prosperity.

In the deep alleys and suburbs of the city, there are slums made of rough wooden houses, where young children sit cross-legged on the ground and weave straw baskets with their immature hands; Unemployed people line up on the side of the road, waiting to receive relief; Hungry women dig out rotten apples and half-spoiled bread from the foul-smelling garbage cans to devour their stomachs, and old men sleep in the open air on park benches; The singing and dancing performances in the Grand Theater were less than half of the audience, and even the applause seemed sparse, no longer returning to the lively and hot of the past.

"It seems that it should be in the early 20th century, the country of the United States, which is in an economic crisis, is why the shops are so depressed, and the unemployed workers are all over the place." Collecting what he saw along the way, Li Xiao pondered in his heart.

"However, looking at the time should also be the time for the red envelope system to release the task."

As soon as I was thinking about it, I only heard a systematic voice in my head reply: "Welcome to the movie world of "The Mummy". ”

"Quest 1: Obtain the Black Book of the Dead and the Sun Bible! 2. Obtain the Holy Urn. ”

After digesting the incoming information flow, a trace of realization also rose in Li Xiao's heart.

The synopsis of the mummy movie is mainly about the explorer O'Connor hired by the Imperial Librarian Evelyn and her brother to form an expedition team, and met an American expedition team on the way, and the two groups of people came to the city of the dead in Egypt to explore, and obtained the Black Book of the Dead that can resurrect the dead.

However, for the task of the system, the corners of Li Xiao's mouth hesitated, and he couldn't help but complain secretly in his heart: "The system assigns itself to obtain the Black Sutra of the Undead and the Sun Bible that run through the plot of the movie, and that's it." But in addition to that, what the hell is it to get such a strange thing as a holy urn. You know, this is the jar that Immorton sealed in order to resurrect his lover Ansuna and cut off all her organs after death. ”

Thinking of this, Li Xiao couldn't help but tremble.

There is another point that Li Xiao can't understand, since the system arranges himself to appear in the movie "The Mummy", what does it mean to arrange himself as a company employee? What about Burns and Beni, and what do they have to do with the movie?

……

……

While he was thinking, he followed Burns and Beni around a street corner, and came to the tavern they were talking about, and pushed the door open, and a pungent smell of rancid wine permeated.

Under the dappled lights, there were a few people sitting in the tavern, drunk and shouting, but Rao was so, and the tavern still seemed very deserted.

Seeing the three of them walking into the bar, the bartender who looked panicked with one hand on his cheek, his eyes suddenly lit up, rubbed his hands, showed a flattering smile and stepped forward and said, "The three of you are here, it's still the same today." ”

"Well, be nimble." Burns nodded.

"Right away, sir."

Although the bartender's tossing of the bottle was very fancy, it did not get into his eye.

Half an hour later, a glass of red, yellow and blue margaritas was pushed in front of him by the bartender with a respectful face.

It seems that this should be the wine that the movie likes to drink for the characters he sets, Li Xiao took a sip with an attitude of trying.

Judging from the appearance and taste of the wine ordered by the three of them, it was clearly superior to that of the others in the tavern. This also means that the status and wealth of the three of them are also superior to others.

This wine has a fresh fruity aroma and a special aroma of tequila, sweet and sour in the mouth, and a refreshing taste. To say that Li Xiao drinks a lot of tea, the heartburn spirits in the Longmen Inn, and the tea on Tiexin Island are either strong or soft, each with its own characteristics. And although this margarita tastes acceptable, it is too light, could it be that this bartender has cut corners?

"Why is this wine so light?" Li Xiao frowned slightly.

Beni, who was drinking with relish on the side, accidentally choked on a sip and looked at Li Xiao with a surprised gaze: "Xiao, don't you know that after the promulgation of the prohibition of alcohol, the alcohol content of the wine sold in the market has generally decreased." ”

When Li Xiao heard this, he sniffed lightly with his nose, not only the wine in their glasses, but also the wine with the smell of sour rot that other people drank, and its own taste was very light, which showed that the alcohol content contained in it was generally very low.

Only then did he suddenly remember a post he had read on the forum before, the content of the post was that in the early 20th century, the United States had issued a ban on alcohol, and because alcoholism had caused a lot of domestic violence problems, in order to retaliate against women's rights, a ban was implemented. Its content is that it is illegal to manufacture, sell and even transport drinks with an alcohol content of more than 0.5 ~ law, so the alcohol concentration will be so light, but what is ironic is that the Mi Guozheng ~ government found that even if the ban was promulgated, it could not be banned at all, and then simply abolished this amendment, it seems that in another year or two, they will be able to drink pure wine again.

And this wine was too light, like chicken ribs, and it was a pity to discard it tastelessly, and after two sips he threw it away, and his eyes swept over the tavern, intentionally or unintentionally.

At this time, a few women in bold clothes walked in outside the door, only to see them blonde hair and blue eyes, plump ~ breast fat ~ buttocks, scratching their heads and posing, they looked amorous.

"Niu, your body is really hot, how about accompanying me tonight?" At this time, an old drunkard in rags, relying on his drunken drunkenness and lust~ squinting, was about to start with one of the blonde Danai.

", you don't have money and you still want to play with my mother?!" The blonde Daino pushed the drunkard away, his eyes full of disgust.

The drunkard's footsteps staggered backwards, the back of his head slammed against the leg of the table, and at last he regained some consciousness, muttered a few words, and then left the tavern in a gloomy manner amid the laughter of the crowd.

These blonde beauties, although they do such things, are also covered by power behind them, otherwise they would not be doing much in New York.

Restrained his annoyance, the blonde Danai blinked her eyes coquettishly again, and unabashedly threw hot winks at Li Xiao and the others.

Although this wine is not good, but this Yanma is really not bad, and when he first enters this world, Li Xiao also needs to find out some news, and these people are good objects, so Li Xiao's heart is also moved, and then look at Burns and Beni around him, they are already pig-like.

But just as the door of the swaying bar was about to close, it was pushed open again, and this time it was a large, fat, bearded bald man, who was large enough to block half of the light from the door, roughly estimated to weigh two hundred pounds, and his footsteps moved as if the whole ground were shaking.

I saw him lick the corners of his mouth, raised the thick wad of US dollars in his hand, and said in a loud voice: "I have covered all these girls, and a wise choice will make you less beaten!" ”

The drunkards in the tavern, who were still motivated by alcohol, suddenly died down. Not only because of this fat figure, but also because of the thick pile of bills, there are faint mottled blood stains! Seeing this, even Beni and Burns recovered from being pig brothers and became serious, without desire or desire.

In the era of the Great Depression in the United States, workers paraded in the streets to make trouble, order became very unstable, the crime rate rose sharply, and it was not uncommon to kill people for money.

And this strong man Jack is obviously not a good character, after just looting a sum of money, after being full of wine and food, his first thought is to find a few beautiful girls and vent well, at this time, no one dares to touch his moldy head.

However, people were surprised to find that a man with a fixed face like a sculpture got up from his bar seat, directly hugged the two blonde Danai, and walked out of the tavern without looking at Jack, who was about to crack his teeth.

"Didn't you hear what I just said?" Jack rubbed his fist, the joints crackled, and he was about to smash Li Xiao with a heavy fist.

Before the fist could come, Jack's eyes widened, and his huge body, like a ball of deflated balls, shot backwards.

With a "bang", it smashed into the exhibition window of a clothing store across the street, and the glass shattered to the ground, and the whole person was directly unconscious on the spot!

Then, under the stunned and frightened expressions of everyone, Li Xiao continued to hug the two blonde Danai whose mouths were open enough to stuff eggs, and strode towards a nearby hotel.

Beni and Burns stared at each other with bewildered expressions.
