Chapter 284: Clues (1st Update)
It turns out that it is unreliable to want to get effective intelligence feedback from the people of Fengyue. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
The next morning, Li Xiao spent money to send the two blonde and blue-eyed beauties, and came to his company with slightly vain steps.
When he came back today, he deliberately glanced at the English name that hung on the second floor and was carved with a stone carving of a certain material: "Carson Expedition Company"
"It's an expedition company." Li Xiao couldn't help muttering to himself.
After a night, the thoughts in his mind gradually came to him. It turned out that he was now an employee of an expedition company.
In the early 20th century, the Great Depression and the booming culture of adventure inspired people to explore unfamiliar areas and dangerous situations for the sake of treasures and fortunes.
And just last month, there was a "black storm" disaster in the western part of the country, after at least five inches of fertile soil on the surface of the ground was blown away by strong winds, and many large and small soil pits were exposed in the ground~ The expedition team composed of Li Xiao, Burns and others went there to excavate a crypt full of gold, and they made a lot of money with this windfall, so although the economy was so depressed, they still had enough money in their hands to squander expenses.
……
……
Seeing Li Xiao come to the office, Beni and Burns, who were chatting with nothing, glanced at each other, and quickly surrounded them, Beni rubbed his hands, and his eyes flashed with eagerness: "My God, you really had the ultimate divine power yesterday, and you actually punched that fat elephant Jack away, Xiao, tell me quickly, how did you do it." ”
That Jack was a well-known bully in the neighborhood, and in the past, he was the only one who beat people.
Burns also smiled and said jokingly: "Look at Xiao's red face today, it seems that the service of those two beauties yesterday is very good." ”
Although the two of them were joking, they still felt a trace of palpitations when they recalled the shocking scene of Li Xiao punching Jack yesterday, and at that moment, they found that Li Xiao's body was filled with a powerful aura, as if he had changed into a different person.
In the face of the jokes between the two, Li Xiao shook his hand, with a look of indifference, and sat down in his office, his legs leisurely on the table.
Yesterday I was in a hurry, and I didn't have time to take a closer look at the environment. I saw that there were maps hanging on the four walls of this place, marked with red circles and forks, which were the potential places for the possible treasure wealth, including some earth-stained pickaxes, hammers and other excavation tools, which were also piled up in the entire warehouse.
Li Xiao looked motionless on the surface, but in his heart he was thinking about the tasks issued by the system. In the original movie of "The Mummy", whether it is the Black Book of the Dead, the Sun Bible, or the holy urn containing Ansana's internal organs, these need to go to Cairo, Egypt, and the system inserts his identity as an employee of the expedition company, is it random or intentional, and now whether the mummy Morton has been resurrected, he doesn't know, it seems that he needs to go to Cairo, Egypt to find out the news, but to get these things, it is inevitable to enter the city of the dead in the desert? Its exact location is not yet known.
"Where's your boss? I'm going to see him now, I have important treasure clues to report! ”
At this moment, a shrill voice came from outside the door, interrupting Li Xiao's contemplation. Immediately afterwards, I saw a man with unattractive appearance and dark circles under his eyes, ignoring the security guard's obstruction, broke in from the outside, grabbed Burns, who was closest to him, and couldn't wait to ask.
"I'm sorry sir, I need to make an appointment to see our boss." Burns held the frame with his hand, and said gently, but his eyes unconsciously glanced into one of the offices inside.
The man with dark eyes was agitated, like a slippery loach, and slipped through the gap between Beni and Burns, and rushed straight to the office, but he couldn't outpace the security guards, who entered the room and quickly subdued him.
"Damn, you know what a deal this will be a delay, bunch of fools, I promise you'll regret it if you stop me again today!" The man with dark eyes who was pressed to the ground by the dead was pressed into his trachea, and said loudly in an angry and hoarse voice.
"It's noisy, who's shouting and yelling!"
However, this huge commotion still attracted the attention of Charles, the owner of the expedition company.
The brown office door was pushed out, and out of it came a fat man in a suit with a beer belly, and when he saw the situation in front of him, his brows furrowed, and he let out a low drink.
The man with dark circles raised his neck from the ground with difficulty, and hurriedly said: "Charles, I am here to bring a big deal today, and I know where Hamtana is!" ”
"You're talking about the city of the dead, Hamtana, the burial ground of the pharaohs?" Charles asked after a moment of silence.
"That's right, that's what I mean!"
Li Xiao, who was sitting on a chair with Erlang's legs crossed, looked at all this indifferently from the man with dark circles from the break-in to the uniform, but until the word Hamtana was uttered from the mouth of the man, his gaze shrank suddenly!
Hamtana?
If Li Xiao remembers correctly, the cemetery that served as the pharaoh of the past dynasties, and also the place where the pharaoh's high priest Immorton was sealed, is also known as the city of the dead.
However, the place is very secluded, not only is it remote, but it also needs the morning sun to rise before it looms out of the vast desert.
According to the information revealed in the film, there are only two people who know the location of the City of the Dead, O'Connor and Beni, who happen to pass by the ruins of Hamtana during a battle. A few years later, it was precisely because of these two people that they led Jonathan, Evelyn siblings, and the American expedition team to explore Hamtana again, thus unfolding the plot in the movie.
And looking at the unsightly and even obscene man in front of him, no matter what point he is, he can't connect him with the movie star O'Connor.
Could it be Benny? Or is it a scammer who is trying to get a lead fee?
Although it is impossible to be sure, at least the plot has developed so far, and there is finally a clue.
At the same time, Charles had pushed away the two security guards and pulled the dark-eyed man on the floor closer to the office, and outside the office, Beni and Burns looked at each other, only confused.
Li Xiao's fingers tapped lightly on the tabletop, his ears moved, and his keen sense of hearing was mobilized, extending towards the back of the door of the manager's office.
About half an hour later, the pot-bellied Charles came out of the office again, patted the man with dark circles on the shoulder, and after the conversation, the two now looked quite familiar.
I saw that Charles at this time was radiant, his face showed a trace of excitement, and he announced to everyone: "Guys, according to the reliable information that this guy named Benny has, the location of the City of the Dead can be determined, and everyone will prepare well for the next time, and set off in Cairo, Egypt in three days to explore and hunt for treasures, and target Hamtana!" ”
