CHAPTER XXVII
"That's because this is Cairo in the twenties of the nineteenth century, which is naturally different from Cairo in the future." Lin Yiyan explained with a smile. Charlotte was surprised, and a look of sudden realization appeared on her face.
"Let's go, let's take a walk around town. Experience this exotic atmosphere that is different from modern times. Lin Yiyan reached out and grabbed Charlotte's hand, smiling while leading her forward.
"Yes." Charlotte replied softly, smiling and smiling with Lin Yiyan wandering around Cairo in the 20s of the 19th century.
"I don't know when it is. Whether it's before the plot starts, or after the plot starts, it seems like I'm going to have to take some time to check out the Cairo prison and see if the guy named O'Conna is still inside. "At the same time. Lin Yiyan, who was taking Charlotte around Cairo City, said secretly in his heart.
O'Connor, whose full name is Rick O'Connor, is the protagonist of the movie "The Mummy 1" - the legend of the gods. Former Resistance soldiers, who lost the war and were imprisoned by the ruling side in present-day Cairo.
Of course, this refers to before the plot begins, and if the plot does, then at this point he should embark on a journey to the lost capital, the Tower of Hamna, with the beautiful Egyptian archaeologist Aveline and her thief brother, Jonathan, who are a bit of a natural staple in the film.
Along the way, they will encounter another group of American archaeologists who are also preparing to go to the Tower of Hamna to discover it, and they will be attacked by another mysterious force. Together, they arrive at the Tower of Hamna, where they unleash the sleeping demon 3,000 years ago, Archmage Immorton in a thrilling, life-threatening adventure.
However, none of this has anything to do with Lin Yiyan, because his purpose in coming to this world is very clear, that is, to obtain the Bible of the Dead and the Golden Book of the Sun preserved in the Tower of Hamna! If you have time in the process, you will take the gold treasure stored in the Hamna Tower, and take Charlotte to enjoy modern Egypt and experience the scenery of Egypt that is different from later generations.
So what those American archaeologists are going to do, and what kind of disaster will Immorton bring to Egypt after his resurrection, he doesn't bother to care.
………
A few hours later, at sunset, Lin Yiyan and Charlotte, who had enjoyed a handful of local Cairo food in a Cairo restaurant, checked into Cairo's only big hotel at that time.
"Charlotte, you rest first, I'll go out." At this time, Lin Yiyan got up and walked towards the door, and said to Charlotte in the room.
"Why are you going?" Charlotte wondered.
"Go investigate something, and I'll be back later." Lin Yiyan said without looking back. Then he reached out and grabbed the door in front of him, and opened it.
"Can you use me for help?" Charlotte asked, getting up.
"No, you don't." Lin Yiyan, who walked out of the room, turned around, looked at Charlotte in the room and smiled. Then, without waiting for Charlotte to answer, she closed the door.
"Bang." Seeing this, Charlotte shrugged her shoulders boringly, sat back on the bed, opened her special vision, and watched the TV program played in the main world TV signal transmitted through the bilibili communication king.
………
On the other side, Lin Yiyan, who had left the room, walked straight towards Cairo Prison after inquiring about the location of Cairo Prison. This time was not long, only ten minutes, Lin Yiyan came to the top of the mud wall outside the Cairo prison.
In this era, it can be said that money can make ghosts grind, Lin Yiyan threw out a little gold, and these guards offered Lin Yiyan like an uncle, which can be said to be responsive. In this way, Lin Yiyan approached the prison in Cairo with great ease, ready to go and see the protagonist of this trip, O'Connor.
"That's him." The guards pointed to a man in a prison cell who looked like a beggar and a vagabond. Then he walked to the front of the prison, and struck the barricade of the prison in front of him with his baton, making a "clang" sound, "O'Conna, someone wants to see you." ”
O'Conna raised his head and looked at Lin Yiyan.
"I don't know you." After a moment, O'Connor said.
"It's okay if you don't know me, as long as I know you." Lin Yiyan smiled.
"I don't think I'm worthy of a character like you." O'Connell laughed at himself with a lot of self-knowledge.
"No, you have." O'Conna was stunned when he heard this, and looked at Lin Yiyan.
"You know how to get to Hamnata Tower." Lin Yiyan replied.
"Do you want to go to Hamnata Tower? For the treasure there? O'Connor said.
"Then it's none of your business." Lin Yiyan said. O'Conna frowned, not knowing what Lin Yiyan meant. Lin Yiyan didn't pay attention to him anymore, but turned his head to look at the guards on the side and asked, "Do you know when he was executed?" ”
"I don't know, you need to ask the warden about this." The guard shrugged. Lin Yiyan nodded, looked back at Ou Conna who was looking at him and smiled, "Don't worry, we will meet again soon." ”
After saying that, he didn't look at O'Connor again, and turned around and left the prison under the guidance of the guards on the side.
"Hey, hey! What do you mean! Seeing Lin Yiyan leaving, O'Conna quickly ran to the fence of the prison, grabbed the fence with both hands, and shouted loudly at Lin Yiyan's back. But in exchange for the impatient beating of the night watchman, he fell back to the prison in great pain.
"Take care of him, if someone wants to take him away, go to room 512 of the Cairo Hotel to inform me, and your benefits will be indispensable when the time comes." At this time, outside the prison, Lin Yiyan casually took out a small piece of gold and stuffed it into the pocket of the costume of the fat guard next to him and said.
"Yes, sir, I promise that he will notify you as soon as he becomes aware." The guard said with a smile on his face.
Lin Yiyan nodded slightly, turned around again and looked at the Cairo prison behind him, then withdrew his gaze and left the prison without stopping.
"Now wait for the Aveline siblings to show up." Lin Yiyan said secretly in his heart.
This is not because Lin Yiyan respects the original book and has to wait for everyone to act together, but because the Aveline siblings have an important item in their hands - the key that can open the seal of Immorton and the Bible of the Dead, and the lock of the Golden Sutra of the Sun! Without it, even if you can get the Bible of the Dead and the Golden Book of the Sun, you won't be able to open them. Unless Lin Yiyan is not ready to get the complete Bible of the Dead or the Golden Sutra of the Sun.
After all, in this ancient Egypt where magic and gods existed, who knows what kind of demons will appear if you don't open the two meridians through normal channels? So to be on the safe side, it's better to wait until Aveline shows up with the key before acting. And when the time comes, you can easily take down the excavation team hired by American archaeological experts, and let them help them dig and find the Golden Sutra of the Sun, which is much better than being a coolie yourself.
Then after another ten minutes, Lin Yiyan returned to the Cairo Hotel.
………
"Block the block."
That morning, there was a sudden knock on the door. Lin Yiyan and Charlotte glanced at each other, stood up, and walked to the door.
"Huh."
"Sir." Then as the door opened, the guards of Cairo Prison, who had seen it a few nights ago, appeared in front of Lin Yiyan and shouted with a flattering face.
"What's the matter?" Lin Yiyan's eyes flashed and asked.
"It's about O'Connor, whom you brought to my attention, and just now a man and a woman met him under the Warden's leadership." The guard whispered.
"That's all?" Lin Yiyan raised his eyebrows and asked.
"Also, hehe......" The guard laughed embarrassedly, and made a gesture that everyone on earth understood - asking for money. Seeing this, Lin Yiyan pursed his lips without checking, flipped his hand, and a small piece of gold appeared in Lin Yiyan's hand and threw it directly to the other party.
Seeing that the other party was excitedly gnawing on the gold in his hand, Lin Yiyan pouted disdainfully, "Can you say it now?" ”
"It's okay, it's okay." The guard smiled contentedly, "At noon today, that O'Connor will be hanged by the warden, if you want to save that guy, sir, please hurry up." ”
"I see, well done, it's a reward." Lin Yiyan nodded, and once again took out a small piece of gold and stuffed it into the guard's pocket.
"You can go."
"Yes, yes." The guard nodded in agreement, turned around and ran away. Then Lin Yiyan closed the door and turned to look at Charlotte, who was looking at him.
"My dear. Want to experience the life of an adventurer? Lin Yiyan asked with a smile.
………
A day later, the port of Giza, Cairo.
"Here we are." Lin Yiyan looked at a man who walked to the port with a gift box and said in a low voice. It's none other than the actor Lin Yiyan has seen before-O'Connor.
"That's who you're waiting for?" Charlotte followed Lin Yiyan's gaze and said in the same low voice.
"Yes. Let's keep up. Lin Yiyan whispered in response, and walked towards the man with Charlotte, but did not make contact with O'Conna, but boarded the ship that was about to depart like an ordinary passenger. Then, the ship with enough passengers left the port and sailed to its next destination.
"Why are you here?" On the way, O'Conna, who came out for a stroll, looked at him in surprise and leaned his back on the side of the boat. Lin Yiyan, who was interested in admiring the passengers on the boat, said.
"What do you say?" Lin Yiyan asked rhetorically.
"You're going to Hamnata?" O'Conna, who remembered what Lin Yiyan said when he met him for the first time, frowned.
"Well, so I'll leave it to you for the rest of the journey." Lin Yiyan straightened up, walked in front of Oconna, stretched out his right hand and said.
"I'm not your guide." O'Conna ignored Lin Yiyan's outstretched hand, and turned directly to the empty chair opposite the table where Aveline was sitting and sat down.
