Chapter Twenty-Six: The Black Scripture of the Undead, the Spear of the Chinese Gods
Jack Chen looked at the strange team of adults and children in front of him, smiled and stuffed the "Black Book of the Dead" in his hand into the bag behind him, and then sat on the wooden board under him.
It's a pity that he doesn't seem to notice that the wooden plank under his feet has been very weathered.
At this moment, as soon as he sat down, it suddenly became the last straw that broke the camel's back, and only a click was heard, and the wooden board was suddenly broken by him, and Jack Chen also sat on the ground.
And Laura, after hearing his self-introduction, finally reacted, looked at him with disgust and said, "Asian Flying Eagle? jackie chanοΌ I've heard of you, an international thief, a very hateful thief of antiquities! β
As soon as she finished speaking, Jack Chan bounced off the ground.
"Thieves?
People all over China can testify for me, and when those cultural relics were stolen, I stayed in my own house and didn't go anywhere.
Moreover, no one can snatch other people's cultural relics from other people's countries and put them in their own country's museums, and then say that they are helping others keep them, but in fact, they want to have them for themselves, which is a shameful behavior! β
Jack Chan pointed his index finger at Laura and said in a stern tone.
Hu Jianjun on the side also whispered at this time: "Oh, it turned out to be him." β
Clark lightly touched him with his elbow, "Uncle Hu, what's going on?" β
Lao Hu leaned his head over mysteriously, "I just heard that this Asian Flying Eagle used to be the Royal Hong Kong Police, but for some reason, he later broke away from the police force and became a famous thief in the international antique industry.
Clark nodded clearly, took a step forward with a smile, and stretched out his right hand at Jack Chen, "It turns out that Your Excellency is still a Robin Hood-like figure, I admire your behavior very much, after all, patriotic people, character is generally not bad there." β
"Eh, you little guy can even speak Chinese," Jack Chen waved his hand, "but don't think about it, it's all out of the mix, I don't eat it." β
Clark withdrew his right hand, but was not at all annoyed.
Laura also seemed to accept Jack Chen's statement at this time, and was not so repulsed by his senses, but just glanced at the corner of the "Black Book of the Dead" exposed on the other party's shoulder, but said deliberately: "Then what you are carrying on your back is not something from your country." β
Jack Chen's face turned red all of a sudden, and he muttered, "How can this historian's business be called stealing, this is archaeology!" It was snatched back from the grave robbers. β
"I think you've got to have the key to open that book." Laura didn't plan to tease him anymore, and said directly.
"Do you have to have a key?" Jack Chen glanced at Laura suspiciously, and then took out the "Black Book of the Dead" from his back pocket.
When he looked closely at the large bronze book from the Americans, he found that as Laura said, there was indeed a special hole in the shape of a round sun on the cover of the cover engraved with complex and strange magical symbols.
"So, we're pretty lucky, aren't we?"
Laura smiled and pulled out a small octagonal metal box from her pocket and tossed it up and down, exactly what her mentor Evelyn had sent her after receiving the letter.
At first, she didn't know what it was for.
But when she saw the Black Book of the Dead in Jack Chen's hand, she knew the specific usage of this thing.
I saw Laura pinch the upper and lower ends of the small metal box with both hands, twist it slightly, and in a click, one end of the small box opened eight metal pieces like a flower.
The shape is exactly the same as the special hole on the cover of the Black Book of the Dead.
"This only proves that you are well prepared, who knows if what you say is true or false?"
Jack Chan said so, but his eyes never took off the key in Laura's hand.
And just as they introduced each other to each other, a new change took place on the battlefield not far away.
Because the "Black Book of the Dead" was stolen by Jack Chen, Dr. Doom was furious and directly sent out the only five remaining "Terminators" in his hands.
But at this time, the little giants who had been drugged and committed murder in the Tomb Guards' guards also recovered from their original state because of their physical exhaustion, no, even worse, their whole body seemed to have been run over by a road roller, and their bones were turned into fragments and softened into a puddle of mud.
In addition, the four special mummy puppets were all eliminated by Clarke, and with only those five jackal-headed statues in steel armor, they were no longer able to resist the attack of the mausoleum guards.
Not only that, but Clark and the others even faintly heard an undetectable roar from several other directions of the ruins.
"It's the cavalry of the Tomb Guards, and they've surrounded the whole of Hamna," said the voodoo wizard after a rough breakdown, almost incredulously, "There must be at least seven or eight hundred of them, and could it be that the warriors of the entire tribe have poured out?" β
The Americans, at this time, also seemed to be aware of this situation and began to order the soldiers to retreat along the trench into the underground space.
And Wang Fatzi also said nervously: "I said a long time ago to go quickly, hurry up, now it's okay, I can't go at all." β
The few people present didn't pay attention to his words, Clark just glanced at Laura, and a thought came to their minds at the same time: "The enemy of the enemy is a friend, it's time to call for 'inside' help." β
"Quick, give me the key!"
"Quick, give me the book!"
Laura and Jack Chan shouted in unison.
"Why should you give it to you?"
The two spoke almost at the same time.
The two of them glared at each other, each not giving in, and Clark could only step forward and make a round when he heard the sound of hooves that were getting closer, "Why don't you two take a step back and hand over everything to me?" β
Jack Chen looked at Clark's immature face with a hint of calmness, and smiled angrily, "What are you doing to me!" β
"But now you don't have a choice, do you?" Clark wasn't upset by Jack Chen's contempt.
"Those mausoleum guards are about to close the siege, not to mention that we can't escape, even if we escape, in the vast desert, it is very difficult to escape from the pursuit of these locals.
In that case, why not take the risk and open the book and see if you can cause them some trouble and escape while they are in chaos? β
"Eh, that's a coincidence, I thought so too, so why don't you give me the key?" Jack Chen had a grin on his face, but he took a few steps back vaguely.
Such a move made Clark frown, you know, as a psychic warlock, he was not just talking just now, he was also using the mouth cannon Dafa.
However, in the face of his psychic abilities such as [Psychic Infection], [Enchanting Humans], and [Spiritual Invasion], this guy was completely unmoved.
With the help of the [Detect Thoughts] ability, Clark even found that the soul in the other party's body was itself a fog, as if it was with a ghost, as if there was something else that was completely incomprehensible and could not be influenced.
Two souls in one! This guy can't be a multiverse Chen Long aggregate, right?
Looking at the conspicuous big nose, Clark finally remembered who this Jack Chen in front of him was, and it was clearly the protagonist of the old Hong Kong film "Flying Eagle Project", the famous intercourse dragon.
It's just that looking at his way and experience, it seems that the other party still has the shadow of "Zodiac" and "Police Story", but where does this ability that can affect his spiritual abilities come from?
While Clark was groaning, Laura was a little impatient, took a pistol, and began to approach Jack Chen.
"I'll tell you, I don't beat women, don't force me!" Jack Chen's eyes widened, and he put on a boxing stance, looking at the movements and posture, it was obvious that he had good melee combat ability.
However, just as the atmosphere between them became tense, a clear voice suddenly inserted between them, as if Ding Ding was dissolving a cow, and the tense atmosphere of the scene was disintegrated in an instant.
"In the current situation, a civil war does not seem to be the optimal solution."
The sudden sound startled Laura, as it came from a few meters behind her.
"Who is it?!"
Laura turned her head sharply and saw behind them, a handsome, sven-looking Asian man, waving to greet them.
"Hello, my name is Zheng Xian, and I belong to the Chinese People's Strategic Vigilance Implementation Department (.. r.), of course, you can also call us the Spear Bureau. β
While Zheng Xian was talking, he walked over from Laura and the others very naturally, and in front of Jack Chen, who came, took the "Black Book of the Dead" from his hand, and then generously handed it to Laura.
It was so easy to get the treasure that recorded the essence of the ancient Egyptian occult, even Laura found it a little incredible.
"Those cavalry are about to surround up, if we confirm that this book is okay, I think we should act first, and as for any problems, it's not too late to talk about them when the matter is done."
Jung Hyun looked at Clark with a smile, as if he could see at a glance that Clark was the real leader of the strange team in front of him.
Clark didn't mean to hide it, he nodded directly at Laura, and when he got his signal, Laura didn't hesitate, and directly pressed the key in his hand on the cover of the "Black Book of the Dead".
"Click, click."
The faint sound of gear turning sounded, the trap box was twisted twice, and Laura only felt that the cover in her hand flicked upward, and subconsciously opened the heavy metal cover of this "Black Book of the Dead".
A yin wind suddenly swirled over them, and everyone shook in unison, subconsciously looking at Laura.
At this time, she didn't realize it, just looked at the contents recorded in this black scripture of the dead with an obsessive face.
As a student of Evelyn, Laura had systematically studied the ancient Egyptian gods.
It is a mysterious, soon-to-be-lost ancient script, which is said to have been invented by Thoth, the ancient Egyptian god of wisdom, for the use of the gods.
In today's world, there are not many people who can understand this kind of writing, and perhaps only some ancient Egyptian tribes have sacrifices that can distinguish one from the other.
In addition, only the British, who colonized Egypt for hundreds of years and plundered a large number of ancient Egyptian antiquities, can find some experts in this field in the London Museum and Cambridge University.
And Laura's teacher, Evelyn, is precisely the top figure in this regard.
"What's on this?" Zheng Xian, who looked polite, asked curiously.
Without thinking about it, Laura replied:
It contains descriptions of the afterlife of the ancient Egyptian gods, which sounds like some ancient mythological tale.
Then there are some incantations and rituals that channel the power of Hades. β
Speaking of this, Laura hesitated slightly, and then said, "But most of these rituals are very cruel and evil......
Jung Hyun nodded, seemingly unresponsive to what she said about cruelty and evil.
At this time, Clark stood aside, looking at the strange divine text of the "Black Book of the Dead", and for some reason, there was a strange sense of familiarity.
It was as if those hieroglyphs that he had never seen before were greeting him warmly, wanting to tell him some secrets.
Sure enough, it's a very strange magic text.
Clarke's heart was secretly surprised, and at this time, the fat man Wang listened to the sound of hooves that was clearly audible, and he was already sweating profusely.
"We'll talk about that later," he urged Laura, anxiously, "Is there a spell on it to resurrect that one?" β
When Laura heard his words, she also reacted, and quickly began to search for the "Black Book of the Dead".
Soon, she found the corresponding description.
"Immorton is not actually dead, according to the above statement, the scarab beetle represents the part of the god Ra that represents rebirth, and has the ability to protect the peace of the dead.
Therefore, the punishment of insect devouring only consumes his body, and in the process, his soul is protected, so that he can always experience the pain of being devoured by his body.
And the resentment and death caused by pain and despair will combine with the power of the pharaoh's curse to form an enchantment, sealing Immorton's soul in the imaginary space between the underworld and the world.
And by chanting the incantation, the pharaoh's curse can be unlocked, and Immorton's soul can be unleashed again. β
"So what are you waiting for, hurry up!"
Under the urging of Wang Fatzi, Laura could only caress the divine text on the "Black Book of the Dead", word by word, and stammered and recited:
"Taiyin, the sun, the Yellow Spring of the Nine Places...... O wandering immortal souls, reborn, reborn, reborn! β
When the incantation was finished, almost instantly, Laura knew she had succeeded.
