For any person, the constant trade-offs and trade-offs between career and family are a topic that accompanies a lifetime and may never be perfect!

For ordinary people, when you are young, you choose family and career, and when you are old, family and career choose you!

In this way, the cycle of reincarnation from generation to generation was naturally established!

In terms of career, both O'Connor and Evelyn are self-made models!

At the beginning of the story of The Mummy 1, O'Connor is a prisoner of war and a death row prisoner, and Evelyn is just a fledgling ancient Egyptian scholar!

However, now, with the two mummy stories, the physical and mental transformation of the two of them has been given!

The duties and powers of the O'Connor couple before their retirement are unknown, but it can be seen from the words of the British Foreign Office staff, the issuing unit of the Shangri-La Eye escort mission, that this team of couples was extremely active on the espionage front in World War II!

It is precisely because of this that the two of them successfully entered the upper class society controlled by the traditional aristocracy!

With a wealth of life experience from adventure, archaeology, and espionage, Evelyn has become a successful best-selling author after retiring!

But the two who are so successful still face the same, headache and helpless problem, that is, their son Alex O'Connor!

Busy with adventure, archaeology and espionage all year round, the time O'Connor and his wife spend with their son can obviously only be described as rare!

As a result, as the price of career success, the family located on the other side of the scale has a very obvious imbalance!

This starts with O'Connor and his wife in the plot, talking about O'Connor himself as a father when they can't contact their son. The comment that 'unless you are kicked out of school, or if you need money, you will send us a letter' can be clearly expressed!

A family that lacks communication, and the atmosphere of the family is getting weaker and weaker!

O'Connor, as a father, is impatient and condescending!

And Evelyn as a mother. Under the trend of compensating psychology, it seems too pampered and doting!

Subsequently, with the advent of Alex's second middle school, the former little Zhengtai naturally grew crooked!

Of course, the bravery of the inheritor's father and the wisdom of his mother, who activated the Scorpion King Bracelet at the age of seven or eight, and Alex, who started the story of The Mummy 2, even though he has been completely crooked, still has a career!

As the plot line of The Mummy 3. Without mentioning anything to his parents, Alex traveled thousands of miles to China to participate in the excavation of the Dragon Emperor, showing his rebellion and personality while revealing his talent!

As for the right and wrong in the relationship between the two families, it is the opinion of the benevolent and the wise!

suddenly became the midpoint of everyone's attention, and was ready to talk to his uncle Jonathan. Alex, who greeted him, immediately saw the existence of the O'Connors!

Mu Yuchen, whose five senses perceive far beyond ordinary people. Being able to use Alex's pupils, breathing, and sudden changes in the rhythm of his heartbeat to clearly perceive the tension of his mood, as a 'naughty' child who 'ran away from home', he was caught by his parents for a moment, and he had an instinct to escape!

However. Followed by! Alex, who has been neglected by his parents for a long time, has been rebellious and longing for a long time, but in the contradiction of inner emotions, his physical movements have been stagnant.

So, Alex stood at the door. The whole person's movements stiffened!

Having learned from Mu Yuchen's mouth in advance that their son is now in Shanghai, the O'Connor couple, who are mentally prepared, are obviously taking advantage of the short time of packing their luggage to discuss the emotions and attitudes they present when they meet now!

In addition, the original Alex's failure to 'pry the corner' caused by the butt wiping incident was completely cut off before it happened, and the O'Connor family, who met each other with a more normal attitude after a long absence, naturally had a natural attitude towards each other, not as sharp as in the original plot!

Evelyn, who mediated in the middle, continued to lubricate O'Connor and his son, and the brave and reckless in each other's personalities, the two of them, who were the same, finally sat together reluctantly!

"Alex! You are Uncle Xu, we met in Egypt when your father and I first met! I remember telling you this story with your dad when you were a kid! ”

Looking at the father and son in front of him, who were simply a battle of wills, and then somewhat displeased with each other, Evelyn, who was sitting in the middle separating the two, introduced Mu Yuchen half-politely and said.

"Uncle Xu? Is that the one mentioned in the Scorpion King, Sister Song, Sister Zhao and Uncle Big Dog!? ”

Compared with the 'bedtime' story when he was a child, Alex, who has experienced Mummy 2, obviously has a deeper impression of Zhao Xin, Song Yan and Menghuo, and Alex's eyes on his parents can't help but fall on Mu Yuchen.

Looking at the figure on the other side of the dining table that seemed to be younger than himself, but with a deep and distant temperament, Alex, whose pupils were subconsciously introverted, showed a very clear look of surprise!

"My companions, after the Scorpion King, have mentioned you as a child! You must admit that you are very similar to your parents! ”

Mu Yuchen, who had gentle eyes, looked at it, and Alex, who was in his prime and youthful, was in his most brilliant years, and couldn't help but show the appearance of an elder!

Or from his parents, he liked the aging phenomenon that seemed to be given by God, which was much slower than normal people, and Alex, who realized his situation, quickly regained his initial calmness and self-confidence, and talked with Mu Yuchen with more interest!

Poetry, geography, folk culture, archaeological research, ......and of course, Alex's most interested, but never allowed to enter the 'extraordinary power', he was very interested in Mu Yuchen, so he was full of enthusiasm!

Alex, who shows himself a little bit, is undoubtedly full of the ability and wisdom that makes O'Connor and Evelyn extremely proud but inevitably guilty!

If it weren't for Mu Yuchen's habitual and continuous accumulation of various text materials, maybe he would really not be able to talk about the kid in front of him!

As for Alex's most anticipated 'mystery', it happens to be in the Marvel universe. At the lowest ebb stage of his extraordinary strength, he can only be described as being born at the wrong time!

"It's all days!"

Sensing the nervousness of O'Connor, Evelyn, and even Jonathan, Mu Yuchen, who quietly signaled, was talking about the topic of Silas, with a little superpower. Smooth dizzy young Alex.

Then, with an unlimited supply of fine wine, and a little bit of challenging topics, the young man who was in the prime of his life lay down under the table!

Say goodbye to Jonathan, who continues his nightlife and is not interested in mummies

Originally, the O'Connor family hoped to go to the Shanghai Museum tomorrow to see the coffin of the Dragon Emperor unearthed by Alex, but for the word mummy. Jonathan, who has already had a serious psychological shadow, refused this trip without hesitation!

So, in the presence of Mu Yuchen, the coachman, Jonathan's role was replaced!

Mu Yuchen, who used his true qi to reduce the alcohol concentration contained in Alex's blood to a stable state and kept him asleep, drove all the way to the O'Connor family and returned to the top floor of the Shanghai International Hotel!

Evelyn, who is not worried about her son's state. Stay in the room to take care of Alex, while O'Connor is with Mu Yuchen. Chatted on the open terrace on the top floor of the hotel!

"Thank you! Composed! ”

"Fearless young people, always full of mystery, full of thirst for power! Speaking of which, this is also the sequelae left by my partners more than ten years ago! ”

The telekinesis fluctuated, and the wine bottle and glass jumped out of the space page, and the wine bottle and glass completed the pouring action. Looking back at Mu Yuchen, who gestured to O'Connor's invitation, he said in a tone full of understanding.

Parents who are mentally in a normal state usually do not want their children to get involved in areas that they do not know about, or know that they are dangerous!

With the end of World War II. O'Connor and his wife, who are not annoying and worth a good price, naturally hope that Alex can safely inherit and develop the belongings they have accumulated!

O'Connor even forced Alex to abandon archaeology, which he had shown talent since childhood, and choose a discipline closer to the scope of business!

However, it's a pity! O'Connor failed!

At the same time, the relationship between the father and son has also evolved from the original harmony to the tense antagonism!

"You say! I'm not doing it for that kid's good! ”

"Young people always have their own ideas! Did your father agree to let you go to Egypt to fight? As Alex's father, you can be a spectator, a persuader, a supporter, but you can't be a 'dictator'! After all, it's Alex's own life, isn't it!! ”

"Hey! Brothers! Which side are you on? ”

"Of course I'm on my side!"

"So what do you think I should do?"

"If you don't go back, you can only think, remember, and see your son through the picture frame hanging on the wall! Well, O'Connor! You have to learn to understand and accept! In Alex's formative years, you and Evelyn were missing so much! You may not feel it at all! But your son has grown up naturally! He's not a fledgling to care for anymore! ”

"Why do I feel like you seem to understand?"

"It's just a son like Alex, as advice from someone who has come before!"

Recalling his father, who was almost nothing, or had a very bad influence in his life, Mu Yuchen, who had some empathy for the problems between O'Connor and his son, persuaded O'Connor and this reunited old friend to be like this!

At midnight, Mu Yuchen sent O'Connor, who was also drunk, back to the guest room next door to him after combing the same true qi, and then with Evelyn's helpless eyes, someone said goodbye in a huff!

In the morning, without the slightest hangover pain, the O'Connor family woke up from a dream, and it had not been in the same room for a long time as they were today, and the familiar and the strange were intertwined in the room!

With Evelyn's apologetic look for last night's attitude, Mu Yuchen, who shrugged his shoulders freely, drove the O'Connor family on a tour of Shanghai's urban area!

Faded away from the attitude of tension between each other, pure confrontation for the sake of confrontation, the O'Connor family, who had not been like a family for a long time, and the atmosphere between them was obviously close!

Once you give enough steps that everyone can accept, and let go of the attitude that is full of condescension and full of all kinds of unrealistic arrangements, everything will be smoothly harmonized!

Accompanied by the brilliant fireworks in the sky like fire trees and silver flowers, a group of four people who had tasted authentic food in a famous Chinese restaurant finally set foot on the road to the Shanghai Museum.

The Shanghai Museum in the origin world, its preparation and opening era, is four years later in 1950, if it were not for the early passing of the forces of the Qing Gang, for the iconic Shanghai buildings, the buildings in various locations, made a special memory, Mu Yuchen would not even be able to find its location!

Perhaps it was a coincidence, or it was the arrangement of fate, even if there was a problem with the time period, but the original location of the Shanghai Museum was still driven by a pair of dark arms, and the original Zhonghui Bank building located at No. 16 Nanjing South Road was chosen!

It's not the villa-like building in the movie that is full of cramped and small family atmosphere!

As the current de facto ruler of Shanghai, plus the substantial discovery in Alex, the new appointment for research made in advance, the group of four people easily passed, and the museum was quite closely inspected, and entered the area located on the inside of the first floor of the building, which is specially used to protect and store those that have not yet completed all the archaeological research work, and integrates research and preservation!

The Shanghai Museum at night, except for a small number of night guards, is full of a kind of uninhabited emptiness!

Of course, in such a war-torn era, there are not many tourists here during the day, and there are tourists outside of full-time work!

Under the leadership of Alex, who is half a landlord and has a very proud action temperament, Mu Yuchen and O'Connor finally stepped into the spacious room where the Dragon Emperor's coffin is located!

In the center of the space, which covers an area of nearly 500 square meters, the hearse pulled by four bronze war horses stands quietly like that!

In the space around the coffin of the Dragon Emperor, all kinds of antiques excavated from the tomb of the Qin Emperor, which are also from the tomb of the Qin Emperor, are stored in well-protected boxes, and only a small number of sculptures and bronze vessels are exposed!

There is no doubt that this room, full of thousands and tens of thousands of antiquities, is a priceless treasure in the eyes of some people!

However, compared to these mundane things!

Mu Yuchen's attention was all focused on the Dragon Emperor's coffin, which seemed to be static but constantly radiating outward, faintly but solemnly!

At the moment when Mu Yuchen and the Dragon Emperor's coffins were in direct contact with each other, the cold lifting sound of the system finally rang out! (To be continued.) )
