Section 9: Hunting ...... and omens
Good news.
It wasn't just Evelyn and O'Connor who were found, but also Add, one of the leaders of the Grave Keeper group. According to Jonathan, his sister rescued a deserter from the Governor's execution ground about a week ago. And this deserter claims to hold the secrets of a certain treasure place.
It's an unfolding that fits the original plot, and like the original plot, Evelyn brings her brother and plans to go together to find the legendary treasure spot, the Tower of Hamna, the capital of the dead.
Then, something happened.
Originally, the three of them were supposed to meet at the docks - and this time it was the same, but it was different from the original story. Eddie, the grave keeper, didn't choose to do it on the transport. Instead, with enough manpower, the recovery operation was carried out on the dock.
So, Evelyn and O'Connor were blocked by the grave guards. Jonathan was busy going to the bathroom. When he returned, he saw the grave keepers 'escorting' O'Connor and Evelyn away. And as soon as he wanted to chase after him, he got lost in the crowd in the docks.
"So that's it, my sister found a wild man guide who wasn't a good person at first glance. Then the wild man colluded with another bastard who didn't know what to call him...... They took my sister, and I think it must have something to do with that Hamnata. Probably...... It also has to do with the fact that Cairo has become what it is now. β
Jonathan didn't know the grave keeper, and he probably thought O'Connor was in league with Add. According to his own account, he spent a lot of time looking for Evelyn after that, but unfortunately he couldn't find it no matter how much he searched. When he returns to Cairo, he stumbles upon a group of strangers sneaking around in the museum where his sister Evelyn works, not knowing what to do. He didn't dare to go back, so he hid in a nearby building. And then......
"Then the city became what it is now. Everybody has become crazy. Those idiot GIs at the base of the canal came over and dropped bombs again. I just hid in my room and tried to wait until it was over...... And then you came. β
He looked at the reincarnators, and there was some supplication and expectation in his eyes that had always been cynical. "You'll find my sister, she's a college student with good grades. No one in Egypt knows the history and mythology of ancient Egypt better than her. The people are still beautiful...... She must have been deceived, she must have been deceived by those weirdos! β
"We'll go find her." Chu Xuan nodded. "If the time comes, she can prove her innocence."
Jonathan wanted to say something, but Li Shuaixi stood in front of him. Chu Xuan had already shown an attitude up to this point. And as Chu Xuan's most loyal assistant, he would naturally take action.
So Jonathan shut up, went back to the corner of the small room, sat down, and hugged his head. It looks like a middle-aged frustrated tragic man, and he doesn't seem to have the idea of running away or making trouble.
Perhapsβbut it doesn't matter. Whether he was really like this or pretended, Zhan Lan, who had already placed a tracking mark on him, had to find him.
Soon after, an impromptu meeting was held in the cleaned museum. The reincarnators sat on the edge of a large booth that served as a makeshift conference table, and the removed statue of the god Seth watched quietly from a distance.
The veterans were seated, and the newcomers were arranged to sit on another small booth on the side. Zhao Yingkong, who had made tangible contributions in the previous battle, also sat with the veterans, right next to Jiang Yu, next to Xia.
"There have been some variations in the plot, and it doesn't make sense." Chu Xuan said the opening remarks first. "The reason why the grave keeper in the original work will operate on the ship is not because there are not enough people. Rather, because Beni, another Hamnata insider, and the American expedition that hired him were also on board. And the action of the grave keeper is also to prioritize the recovery of the keys to the two scriptures, rather than erasing the lives of those who know. And this situation can only prove that the grave keeper was not able to find Beni's team, or that Beni and O'Connor did not take the same boat and go the same road as in the original plot. β
"Plot disturbances." Jiang Yu nodded. "The horror films we're going through are never exactly the original, and they're always going to have some twists that twist the plot. So much so that the original plot could not be successfully operated...... That's why we've been assigned the task of annihilating Immorton. Because the original protagonists have not been able to succeed. β
"So Beni, where did they go? And how do we find Evelyn and O'Connor...... And what's the good news? Zheng Zha raised his hand and let out the sound of a good child's diligence and questioning.
"The good news is that the Grave Keeper Group is probably still around, and the heroes and heroines should stay with them." Chu Xuan pushed his glasses. "And where Beni goes...... You'll remember that we said earlier that the Lord God doesn't put reincarnators away from plot threads. β
"The Indies found them like we found Jonathan." Jiang Yu's fingers gently tapped on the large booth that served as a conference table. "They didn't find Evelyn or O'Connor, but the grave keeper kept an eye on the Tower of Hamna. This meant that they had awakened Imodon to be discovered by the grave keepers, and since they had psychic powers, they should have been able to find the grave keeper's sentinels. β
"But the grave keepers still exist...... It is unlikely that the grave keeper's headquarters will be annihilated, but the hero and heroine will easily escape. Considering the ferocious attack of the Indian continent team at the beginning. It is clear that they are afraid of our actions. Zhan Lan gently rubbed her forehead. They know that they are weaker than we are, and they are afraid that we will act with the help of indigenous forces...... This is also clear proof that they did not annihilate the headquarters of the grave keepers. And they must do it for a reason. β
"One possibility is that the bones of the grave keeper's headquarters are too hard for them to gnaw on." Chu Xuan took over the conversation. "But that's less likely. The grave keeper apparently did not have the ability to bury Immorton independently. And since the Inzhou team wants to take advantage of the situation and use the momentum, after they have invested in the Immorton camp, it is impossible to leave the grave keeper camp there, waiting for us to win over. Unless, they can't. β
"The Lord God has set a limit on them, and as the first mover, they cannot fully take advantage of it...... No, it's not possible to complete the main quest and leave the field before we arrive. I suspect that their limitations have something to do with the main characters. Most likely, we won't be able to approach Evelyn and O'Connor until we arrive, or even act directly or indirectly against them. β
"Ansuna." Jiang Yu lowered his eyes. "Their main quest should be related to Ansuna. And the premise of Ansuna's appearance is that Evelyn resurrects Ansuna as a sacrifice...... Or find the reincarnation of Ansuna, who is still only a teenager. β
Copying the answers, the capricious prerogative of the prophets. In the original worldline, Team Inzhou's main mission was to capture the Black Book of the Dead and resurrect Ansuna - however, this mission must have been deflected. Because as the first team, the Black Book of the Dead is simply delivered for free. And the original burial mission of the Middle-earth team has also been changed to annihilation, so the Inzhou team should also have a corresponding offset.
"That's fun." Chu Xuan clasped his hands together. "Our main quest has a C-level difficulty. The conflict between us and Immorton is inescapable. The Inzhou team only came three days before us. And their specific combat power is indeed not very far from before we return to the alien for the second strengthening. But if their mission is only to resurrect, or to protect Ansuna. This difficulty is inevitably a little too low. β
"It's not fair." Chu Xuan, make an assertion. "There is not much difference in the main god's evaluation of our strength, so the difficulty of the main story we face should not be much different. The Inzhou team will inevitably have to face a C-level main story. And if this main quest is closely related to Ansuna......"
"Their main quest is to kill Ansuna, the resurrected Ansuna." Zhan Lan nodded. "Most likely. And if this is the development, then this team battle is in line with the fairness of the main god. β
ββ¦β¦ So we have to find Evelyn as soon as possible. Zheng Zhe understood this time.
"I'm already looking for it." Zhan Lan covered her forehead, her spiritual power had been patrolling the surroundings endlessly. "I found the living dead in the clothes of the dock managers and invaded their brains. Go through their memories. locate the scene where the male and female protagonists were taken away a week ago, and then look for more candidates based on the distinctive witnesses in their field of vision......"
She frowned, and her spirit was shocked, obviously a big burden for her.
ββ¦β¦ But it's still too hard. At most, I could find one soldier on guard, and he saw a group of men in black riding camels, carrying a man and a woman in their arms, moving southwest...... I can't find the grave keepers, I don't know where they are. β
"Just have a general direction." Chu Xuan, suddenly interjected. An Edenic artifact appeared in his hand. "I've taken a genetic sample of Jonathan. Through the connection between blood relatives, as long as they get close to a certain range and maintain a certain amount of exploration, we can locate them. And we should have relatively plenty of time, because neither the Inzhou team nor Immorton dare to act in a big way under our eyes. β
"That means we can't go too fast." Zhan Lan raised her eyebrows. "Otherwise, Mu Gang can turn into an air and space fighter and take the elite members on a quick patrol until the entire southwest map is scanned."
"The division of troops is a bold decision. I don't recommend doing that. Jiang Yu said his tendency.
Then, the decision has been made.
"There are a lot of cars in Cairo, and I can modify them and make a makeshift large vehicle." Mu Gang also responded to the team's expectations. "It's just that the appearance may not be very good......"
"That's fine." Jiang Yu nodded and got up. "It's not a beauty pageant anyway, so it should be fine. So, without further ado, take Jonathan with you, and then, let's leave the city. As long as we can find the hero and heroine in advance of the Inzhou team, then the victory will be in our hands. β
The reincarnators took action. Next, there are many more areas that require effort.
And just when the reincarnators were all in action, Chu Xuan, who was the last to leave, cast his eyes on the statue of the god Seth in the corner of the room.
This is the second time I've seen each other, and when the Middle-earth team just arrived, there was a statue of Seth in that hall!
