Chapter 1 Cairo Prison
"Where is this?"
Chen Xu shook his head, got up from the ground, and looked around blankly, the wooden railings, the walls made of loess, and the wooden planks.
Groups of barefoot, ragged men, with scarves on their heads, were walking around, and the earth-shattering shouts seemed to prove that the place was lively.
But none of this has anything to do with Chen Xu, he looked at all this coldly, and his head was still recalling his previous memories.
He remembered that he was on the bus getting ready to go to work, and then the car shook a little, and then, there was no then, and his memory was interrupted here, and he couldn't remember anything.
"Forget it, I don't want to, but where is this?" Chen Xu looked around blankly, this gave him a strange feeling, it felt like a prison.
"It's like a prison."
"This is the prison." An unkempt man took over Chen Xu's words.
"Oh, this is a prison, I say, how do you feel ......." Chen Xu, who originally wanted to say how he felt like being imprisoned, suddenly stopped, and then said loudly: "How could I go to prison." ”
For any Chinese people, prison is not a very good word, and Chen Xu is naturally not interested in the word prison.
"Either you're caught, or you're caught, there's no third reason." Said the unkempt man.
"Yes, I was caught, but I want to know how I got caught." Chen Xu was going crazy, "I'm sitting well on the bus, how could I suddenly come here, even if there is a car accident, I should be in the hospital!" ”
"Then I don't know." The unkempt man turned around, as if he didn't want to continue talking to Chen Xu.
When Chen Xu saw this, he suddenly became anxious, "Friend, can you tell me where this is?" Well, which prison. ”
"This is Cairo, and the name of the prison is Cairo." The unkempt man looked at Chen Xu strangely, "You don't know where this is?" ”
Chen Xu ignored the unkempt man, and just searched for the word Cairo from his memory, "Cairo? Seems to have heard of it. ”
"It seems to be a certain city, but I can't remember which city."
"Cairo, the capital of Egypt." The unkempt man reminded.
"Yes, Cairo, the capital of Egypt." Chen Xu was happy that he had found the answer, but soon, he was not happy, "But why am I here, shouldn't I be in China?" ”
"China? That mysterious country, I heard of many great miracles. A woman's voice interjected, "Oh, excuse me, we've found your magic box and want to ask you some questions." ”
The visitor was dressed in a plain taupe cloth dress with a large hat on his head, and next to him was a man in a white suit with meticulously combed hair.
"That's not right." Unkempt looked at her and shook his head.
"Isn't that right?" The woman asked curiously.
"No, you're here to ask me where Hamnata is." The unkempt man said coldly.
"Hamnata?" Chen Xu wondered in his heart on the side, "Why is this name so familiar." ”
Hush! Hush!
The man in the white suit booed again and again, and at the same time looked around, for fear that someone would hear the conversation here, but the woman was a little shocked when she heard the unkempt man's words, "How did you know that the box was related to the Hamna Tower?" ”
"Because that's where I found it." The unkempt man sneered.
The man in the white suit couldn't hold back any longer, "How do we know if you're bragging?" ”
"Hey, hey, the Hamna Tower you are talking about, is it the city of the dead, where there is Immorton?" At this time, Chen Xu finally remembered where he had heard the word Hamnata before.
"The Mummy", a film directed by Stephen Sommos, tells the poignant love story of a mummy and a ghost, in which a group of evil modern people try to destroy the love between the mummy and the undead for their own greed, but evil finally cannot defeat justice, and the mummy Morton and the undead Ansuna finally defeat modern people and live happily together in hell.
Well, Chen Xu admits that he likes Immorton in "The Mummy" very much, although Immorton in it does things by no means, but his love is unswerving.
"You know?" The woman finally noticed Chen Xu on the side, "How do you know the City of the Dead, how do you know Immorton?" Do you know where the City of the Dead is? ”
"I don't know." Chen Xu shook his head and joked, although he had watched the movie, he only knew that the city of the undead Hamna Tower was in the desert, and as for the specific location, he didn't know.
"But he knows." Chen Xu pointed to the unkempt man, but asked cautiously, "Are you O'Connor?" ”
"I'm O'Connor?" Unkempt man, no, it should be said that O'Connor looked at Chen Xu strangely, "How do you know my name?" ”
Chen Xu ignored O'Connor, but pointed to the woman: "Are you Evelyn?" Then he pointed to the man in the white suit and said, "Who are you from Evelyn?" ”
"Jonathan." Jonathan, who was also expecting Chen Xu to recognize him, immediately shouted, "Remember, my name is Jonathan, Evelyn's brother, forget it, it's probably me who is too public-faced, so you can't recognize me." ”
"Jonathan, are you going to go to Hamnata then?" Chen Xu asked again.
He was almost sure that he was in the world of "The Mummy", and the current scene happened to be the scene of O'Connor being imprisoned, but he didn't know how he got here.
"Lord God Space? Crossing, I hope not the former, but also not the latter, tangled! Chen Xu was very entangled in his heart.
He is not the protagonist, Xiaoqiang who can't be killed, he suspects that he was stabbed, even if he doesn't stab the heart, he will hang up, such luck to go to the main god space is undoubtedly looking for death, as for crossing, he is somewhat willing, as an orphan, he has almost no friends.
"We're going to Hamnata." Evelyn replied.
"Take me." Chen Xu said very shamefully: "I don't know how I ended up here, but it's obvious that I can't go back, and I don't want to wait for death in prison, so take me." ”
"But ......." Evelyn hesitated.
"Don't be, one more person has more power, and I don't want that gold, I just want a book." Chen Xu said.
He had just thought about it, it was basically impossible to take gold from Hamnata, in the desert, water was more important than gold, and it was a fool's folly to squeeze the space for water and food for gold, and as for gems or something, it was a little bit that could be sneaky.
In fact, the most precious thing in it is not the gold and gemstones, but the two books, those two books with supreme magic.
He has seen the movie, in "The Mummy 2", the Sun Golden Sutra only needs to recite the spell to have an effect, and the Black Sutra of the Undead is the same.
Thinking of the power of magic, Chen Xu's eyes were a little hot.
Everyone, especially men, has a thirst for power and wealth, because men are convinced that as long as there is power, power, wealth, and women will roll in, and Chen Xu is naturally no exception.
"Don't want gold? Okay, then remember to load some gold for me then, remember, the gold is mine. Without waiting for Evelyn to answer, Jonathan preemptively agreed.
"This Jonathan is quite smart." Chen Xu looked at Jonathan again.
Gold is very heavy, one person's strength is limited, and he can't bring too much gold, but two people are different, and they can bring out double parts of gold.
"But alas, it's just clever." Chen Xu commented again.
Only focus on gold, the vision is simply short-sighted, as long as the big husband has strength, are you afraid that there is no gold?
"Those books are mine." Evelyn pulled her brother over and protested.
"You can transcribe it." Chen Xu said again: "Otherwise, one copy for each person, I will take the Black Sutra of the Undead, and you will take the Golden Sutra of the Sun." ”
The main function of the Golden Sutra of the Sun is to resurrect, for Chen Xu, it is a chicken rib for the time being, and the Black Sutra of the Undead is different, which records terrifying magic, and Chen Xu is excited when he thinks of Immortun's magic that is huge enough to cover the sun.
"Don't think about it, one book per person, it's egalitarian, and I don't want any gold."
"Yes, promise him." Jonathan also persuaded him, saying that any book, in his eyes, was not comparable to gold at all.
"Okay." Evelyn thought about it for a moment, but agreed.
"Hey, hey, you seem to have forgotten me." O'Connor, who was next to him, saw that Chen Xu had negotiated the conditions after dividing five by two, and immediately quit, "Without me, you can't find the location of Hamna Tower." ”
"And how can you tell us?" Evelyn asked.
"Come here, come here." O'Connor's mouth showed a wicked smile as he looked at Evelyn as she got closer and closer, and suddenly reached out, grabbed Evelyn's shoulder, pulled her over, and kissed her fiercely on the mouth.
"If you want me to help you find Hamnata, let me out."
"Someone, this prisoner is despised by my lovely Miss Evelyn, and arrest him." The warden of Cairo appeared on Evelyn's body at the right time, looked at the prisoner who despised Evelyn, and said viciously: "I will send him to the gallows." ”
Suddenly, two men broke in from behind the prison and grabbed O'Connor.
"Hey, hey, don't do that, I'm ......." Evelyn hurriedly shouted, but the people inside didn't listen to her at all.
"Miss Evelyn, help me get out first, and then we'll save that damn O'Connor, shall we?" Chen Xu patted the wooden railing and said helplessly.
"Okay, what did you do?" Evelyn said helplessly when she saw O'Connor being captured.
"I didn't do anything, actually, I know how I got in, probably sleepwalking, but now don't care how I got in, please help me out, trust me, you can do it with some money." Chen Xu said.
In the movie, this Cairo prison warden is a man who loves money very much.
"A hundred pounds, let him out."
"Nope."
"Two hundred."
"Five hundred."
"Three hundred."
"Four hundred."
"Okay, deal."
