Chapter Twenty-Eight: O'Connor
Cairo prison, 1926
"You say you bought it in Thebes, so why did your 'friend' go to prison? Jonathan! Evelyn deliberately strengthened her tone on the word friend. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Jonathan was a little uncomfortable: "Uh... Maybe this guy has committed something! ”
"Why did he go to prison?"
"How do I know that?"
……
There were gags along the way, and soon, the warden led them to a prison outside. Two prison guards walked in with an unkempt man with long blond hair, and Jiang Ning knew that this was O'Connor!
"You stole it from him?" Evelyn gestured to O'Connor.
Jonathan dragged Evelyn: "Uh, let's go!" Let's go to lunch first. It seems that Jonathan is a little uncomfortable in the face of the owner.
O'Connor looked at the crowd outside the cell door: "Who are you?" Then, he turned to look at Evelyn: "Who is this mother-in-law?" ”
Evelyn frowned: "Mother-in-law? ”
The two prison guards standing behind O'Connor kept beating O'Connor with rubber sticks.
"We're going to find Hamnata Tower, do you know the way?" Jiang Ning asked.
O'Connor looked at Jiang Ning and frowned, "Why should I tell you?" Brat! And why should I take you there? ”
Jiang Ning squatted down and looked directly at O'Connor with his eyes: "Because, we will save you out." ”
"Hey!"
O'Connor stretched out his fist, wanting to punch Jiang Ning hard. As a result, the fist was held by Jiang Ning with one hand, and secretly forced. At this moment, O'Connor's expression changed completely, and Jiang Ning looked directly at O'Connor: "How is it?" Think about it! ”
"Let the woman tell me herself."
Jiang Ning looked at O'Connor and got up to signal to Evelyn.
Evelyn approached O'Connor and said in a somewhat agitated tone, "You're really... I mean, you've really been to Hamnata Tower? ”
O'Connor's expression was slightly serious: "Yes, I've been there. ”
"What's it like there? Can you tell me about it? ”
"You want to know?" O'Connor smiled.
Evelyn nodded desperately: "Yes, I want to know." ”
O'Connor hooked his finger and kissed Evelyn as she approached, "Then listen to your friend and get me out quickly." O'Connor's action seemed to annoy the prison guards, and they kept beating him.
At this time, the pot-bellied warden came over: "Take him over." ”
"Wait, where are you going to take him?" Evelyn asked, holding the warden in the thrust.
The warden shrugged and smiled, "Where else can I go?" Execution ground, he was sentenced to hanging! Ha ha. ”
……
On the Xingtai, O'Connor wore a thick noose around his neck, and a jailer asked him if he had any last words to say. He said yes, let him out. As a result, nature is impossible.
Jiang Ning watched O'Connor go up to Xingtai, wanting to make him suffer hardship, and when he was about to die by the rope: "He knows the location of Hamna Tower, and he has been there himself." If, you let him go. Take whatever you want with the treasure inside. ”
"What you said is true?" The warden looked at Jiang Ning.
Jiang Ning nodded: "Naturally it's true, I advise you to let him go quickly." If he dies, no one will know where to go to Hamnata. ”
"Let him down!"
……
Chittagong, Jiang Ning, Evelyn, and Jonathan walked in the port with suitcases.
Jiang Ning carried two pistols on his ribs, and a bullet belt was wrapped around his waist, which made Evelyn look sideways: "Are we going to archaeology, can we use guns?" ”
"Miss, this is Africa! You don't want to encounter bandits and beasts on the road, do you? Be safe with a gun! ”
"Hey, I agree with what this little guy said!"
Jiang Ning and the three turned around, only to see that O'Connor had already changed his appearance. Unlike his unkempt face in prison, he was already groomed and dressed by this time, and his long hair was cut short. I smeared the oil on my hair and combed it on the back of my head, so that Evelyn was a little stunned, and said hello in the middle of the night.
"What do you call it?" Jiang Ning asked knowingly.
"O'Connor, call me O'Connor!" O'Connor reached out and shook Jiang Ning's hand.
Jiang Ning introduced everyone: "Introduce yourself Ning Jiang, Chinese. This lady is Miss Evelyn, this ......"
"Jonathan, call me Jonathan!" Jonathan finished and patted O'Connor on the chest.
O'Connor took out his wallet and looked at it, smiling nonchalantly: "Nice to meet you, Jonathan!" ”
Jonathan said embarrassedly, "Don't worry, we're friends now." I'm not going to do that to you. ”
"That's the best!"
……
The four of them were about to board the boat, only to find that the prison chief had also come with a small bag. Evelyn looked disgusted: "Damn, why are you here too?" ”
The warden didn't care: "I'm here to protect my investment, miss!" ”
"I can't stand it!"
"Huh!" Jiang Ning smiled and said secretly, I'm afraid your life will be gone when you arrive at Hamna Tower, Mr. Prison Director!
……
After getting on the boat and putting their salutes away, Jiang Ning walked out of the room and onto the deck. O'Connor and Evelyn are seen talking, while Jonathan is nowhere to be seen. He walked over and saw O'Connor bringing a bag of munitions.
stepped forward and pulled out a gun at random, looked at it a few times, and said with a smile: "Do you want to fight a world war?" O'Connor! ”
O'Connor loaded the gun with ammunition one by one, and glanced at Jiang Ning when he heard this: "That place is very weird, brother!" Bring more guys and be prepared! ”
"You have a strong sense of crisis!"
"Thank you!" O'Connor looked up and smiled.
"Can you tell us about that place? Mr. O'Connor! Evelyn asked.
O'Connor examined a revolver and replied, "Because of the legend of Hamnata, my troops and I traveled through Libya to Hamnata to Hamnata." As a result, instead of seeing the treasure, he was besieged by a group of men in black. In the end, my troops were all finished. I was the only one alive and fled into the desert. I don't even know how I survived, there was no water in the desert, only scorpions, snakes and blood! It's a weird place, I've seen it with my own eyes. ”
"What happened?"
O'Connor looked at Jiang Ning and Evelyn: "Can you imagine devouring human sand?" I'm not talking about quicksand, I'm talking about a human face printed on sand! I'm sure there's a curse in Hamnata. ”
Jiang Ning took out a bottle of whiskey out of nowhere, he poured a glass for O'Connor, and drank the whiskey: "I heard that there are mummies guarding the Hamna Tower, and legend has it that there are two priceless treasures in the Hamna Tower. The Black Sutra of the Dead and the Golden Sutra of the Sun! ”
"What's that?"
Evelyn took over: "Legend has it that the Black Book of the Dead records all the spells and curses of ancient Egypt, and the Golden Book of the Sun records all the runes of ancient Egypt. That's why I fell in love with Egypt because of these two books. ”
"Oh, that's it! It's kind of funny. ”
"You don't believe it?" Evelyn glared disapprehended.
O'Connor looked at Evelyn and didn't speak, and Evelyn turned away in annoyance.
"Hey, what did I say wrong?" asked Jiang Ning again: "What did I say wrong?" ”
Jiang Ning shook his head: "You don't understand women!" With that, he got up and walked away to find Jonathan to play a few games.
"Hey, brother!"
