Chapter 1: The Beginning of Spirits
In 1290 BC, in the capital of Egypt, the city of Thebes, the love affair between the high priest Immorton and the pharaoh's favorite concubine Ansuna was exposed. Ansuna was forced to commit suicide, and Immorton traveled to the Tower of Hamna in desperation to try to resurrect Ansuna, but was discovered by Pharaoh's bodyguards, and the conjuring ritual was unsuccessful. Immorton was thus punished with the severest punishment of all - insect devouring.
Once resurrected, the worm-eaten sinner will become a demon with a thousand years of mana, and his power will envelop the land and make him invincible. As Immorton screamed in fear as the sarcophagus closed, the curse had been laid, and his evil, vengeful heart grew stronger in the darkness.
Immorton lived and died for 3,000 years. In 1923, Rick O'Connor and his comrade-in-arms Benny were defeated in a battle and fled to the city of the dead, the Tower of Hamna.
Years later, while waiting in prison for an almost certain trial, O'Connor suddenly felt that knowing the location of Hamna Tower might save his life. Legend has it that the Tower of Hamna is buried with untold riches, and treasure hunters and geographers alike are crazy about this legend. O'Connor and Evelyn, a beautiful Egyptologist with few accomplices, and her brother Jonathan left Cairo for the Nile and crossed the Sahara Desert to the city of the dead, Hamnata.
They are not alone, and along the way, they also discover a team of American treasure hunters with the same purpose as them, as well as Adesbay, the descendant of the pharaoh's guard, the leader of the mysterious warrior who prevented Immorton from being reborn, and also stopped them.
Greedy American treasure hunters uncover the curse underground. As prophesied, Immorton's terrible power brought untold calamities to Egypt. His power was unimaginable, and he was able to bring the plague that had once erupted in Egypt back to the land, making people his slaves. One by one, the explorers fell victim to the mummy curse.
O'Connor, Jonathan, and Adesbay must do whatever it takes to prevent the mummy from being completely reborn as an invincible evil force, and Evelyn from becoming a sacrifice to Immorton's lover, Ansuna.
Looking back on the plot of the first part of "Tomb Robbery". Liu Hong has already wandered to the Egyptian Museum of Antiquities, but it seems that he has come at the wrong time, because
Evelyn climbs the ladder and places some of the books in her hands in the shelves, which is her job, which is called cleaning up the pieces.
Really! Don't those who read books know where to take them and put them back?
"The Holy Stone. "Shaping and Fine Arts", Socrates' Seth, Book 1, Book 2, Book 3. Evelyn laid out the tome in her arms.
Let's hope they won't be disrupted again! Thinking like this, Evelyn suddenly saw a book that shouldn't be here: "This damn obsessive-compulsive disorder, how did "The House of Turthother" end up here?" This is S, TT has been found, you should go to your little buddy! ”
As she muttered her thoughts, Evelyn leaned toward the distant bookshelf. It's just that she forgot that she's on the ladder now! Just a librarian, she doesn't have the skills and toughness to make a cameo appearance as an acrobat!
"Smack! "It's like dominoes, and the bookshelves are chained one after another.
I hope the curator isn't here! Evelyn had only one thought in her mind.
pity
"What! What's wrong! Oh oh my God! Look at it" A series of interjections burst out of the mouth of the old man standing in the doorway. Staggered over the shelves. Flushed with annoyance, he pointed at Evelyn and shouted, "I'd rather have locusts!" Termite! Mouse! I won't want you! Compared to you, other disasters are simply pediatric! ”
Taking off her glasses, Evelyn shrugged her shoulders and tried to be humorous, but that seemed to be counterproductive, and the most important thing was that she wasn't a humorous person! Clumsily with an expression that she didn't know what kind of, Evelyn apologized very embarrassedly, "Sorry, it was just an accident." ”
"Ramses destroyed Syria by accident, as was the shooting of the wife of the Austro-Hungarian Crown Prince Ferdinand in Sarajevo. But you...... You're a disaster! Take a look at my library. Damn, why should I put up with you? "It's obvious. A simple apology can't take away the curator's annoyance.
"You put up with me because I can read and write ancient Egyptian scripts, and I can interpret hieroglyphs used by monks! Also, I'm the only person within a thousand miles who knows how to properly edit a book catalog and code! With a smirk on her face, Evelyn explained quietly. This year, find a stable job. And it's really not easy to be a job you love!
"Wrong!" The curator pinched his waist, looked up and said, "I put up with you only because your parents strongly funded this museum during their lifetime, and that's the reason!" ”
Speaking of which. The curator's tone softened, and he sighed slightly: "May their souls rest in peace, I don't care how you clean it up, how long you clean it up, you just clean it up for me!" ”
"Is there a natural disaster here? Poor books! Looking at the books that were pressed under the shelves, Liu Hong twitched the corners of his eyes a little distressed. Books are precious treasures for people like him who pursue mystery and look forward to eternity, especially books that record ancient knowledge.
Changing into a professional smile, the curator came to Liu Hong and stretched out his hand and said enthusiastically: "This lady"
"Sir! I'm a man. After correcting the title, Liu Hong bypassed the curator, came to Evelyn, looked at it a little and said, "Evelyn? ”
"Yes, who are you?" Evelyn asked slightly wary. Maybe men will lose their vigilance because of Liu Hong's appearance, but women seem to be more vigilant, right?
Raising his hand to straighten Evelyn's hair, Liu Hong suddenly said, "The gods take the mind." ”
The process of tidying up his hair is the process of channeling magical energy, and he has now integrated the action of channeling magical energy into his daily routine. The concentration of magical energy in this world is high, higher than that of the Harry Potter world!
"Liu Hong, this is my name." Evelyn, who felt that she was suddenly dizzy, suddenly heard the beautiful but somewhat rude man in front of her report his name.
"Please don't do this kind of rudeness casually!" Taking a step back to avoid Liu Hong's hand, Evelyn, who was blushing, gave a little unnatural warning, and then said in horror after seeing the director's fierce eyes: "I'm going to clean up the library first!" ”
"Uh, sir!" The curator walked around to Liu Hong and said vigilantly: "You have something to do with her?" Or is she in trouble again? You know she's always been so sloppy, if she does do something to you. I'm sorry, I hope you can forgive her, know that she's still a child, of course, our museum will definitely not compensate her! ”
"It's fine!" The corners of his mouth hooked up a chuckle, and Liu Hong, who had already gotten the knowledge he wanted from Evelyn's brain, chuckled: "Or maybe my things have been almost done." Now I'm waiting for Miss Evelyn to find out what I want. ”
"Something?" The vigilance in the curator's eyes was even stronger: "Everything here is Egyptian, I hope Mr. won't do anything irrational!" ”
"Rest assured. I'm a big fan of exchange, and even if I do want something in this library, I'll pay a price for it. While speaking, Liu Hong stepped forward to help Evelyn start tidying up the library: "Are you going to ask a lady to clean up such a large area of museums?" ”
"Well, of course I'll help!" Looking at Liu Hong, who was attached to the book holder, as the curator, it was really a bit unreasonable for him to come forward to help. Of course, the most important thing is that he has to keep an eye on whether Liu Hong will take anything good!
Although Liu Hong's costumes are very gorgeous and his temperament is also very noble, but this year
"Mr. Liu Hong is Asian, right? Why come to Africa at this time? While helping to pick up the books, the curator asked, "Is it because the war over there is getting worse and worse?" ”
"It's serious!" Thinking of China during this period, what else could Liu Hong do but sigh? But
The First Emperor, maybe I'll see you here! It is also a good choice to have a strong emperor to lead the way during this period!
With the help of Liu Hong and the curator, they quickly cleaned up the messy books and bookshelves. But Evelyn made a new discovery: "Curator. I think I have something to show you! Look at the pattern of the monument on this parchment, I can assure you, it is the royal seal of Seti I. ”
Regardless of the presence of others, Evelyn handed the drawings to the curator and said excitedly: "This map is three thousand years old, look here, these Egyptian characters, 'Hamna Tower'!" ”
"We are academics. Not a treasure hunter! "The curator was very interested in the map, but after hearing the words 'Hamna Tower'. Straight to it, "Hamna Tower is the rhetoric of the Arabs to coax Greek tourists!" ”
Liu Hong, who knew that the main drama was coming, chuckled and said, "Hamnata? I'm very interested here! ”
"Another wretched creature who has been seduced by the Arabs of those docks." Hearing Liu Hong's words, the curator shrugged helplessly, and said with a pitiful face: "Sir, you have to know that there is no place at all, and what you just said you want can't be this, right?" ”
Liu Hong chuckled: "Can't you? ”
"Well, then you have to pay" was halfway through. The curator suddenly saw that Evelyn's gaze was a little wrong, so he immediately changed his words: "This is an Egyptian treasure, I can't give it to you!" But since Mr. has come from afar, he must be a little tired, so come to my office for a cup of coffee. ”
"Thank you very much!" chuckle. Liu Hong thanked him meaningfully, and then glanced at Evelyn, whose face had become ugly, especially after an octagonal box in her hand, and followed the curator.
"What are you going to give?" When he came to his office, the curator threw the map on the desk, and then looked at Liu Hong with glowing eyes. Just a lit lamp on the desk!
Seeing that the map was about to fall on the lights, Liu Hong's true qi was mobilized in an instant, intending to suck the map over. But a cold feeling suddenly rose up and made him stop moving!
That seems like a peeping gaze! From heaven, from the earth, from all sides! (To be continued.) )
