Chapter Ninety-Four: The Guide to the City of the Dead
Rorschach took out the folded map and laid it flat on the table. Then he took a step back and motioned for Evelyn to come over and take a look.
As soon as Evelyn saw the map, she couldn't help but start analyzing it.
"The monument has floral ornaments, and I'm pretty sure it's a royal seal motif from Seti I. This is the Nile, but it was a river 3,000 years ago, and you can see the ancient Egyptian text here, and I just taught you, this is the Hamna Tower. ”
"Hamnat!"
Evelyn suddenly raised her head, looked at Jonathan in surprise, and said, "You found Hamnat?" ”
Jonathan's eyes flashed with hope, and he replied in disbelief, "You're talking about that Hamnat?" ”
Evelyn said excitedly, "Yes! Hamnat, the city of the dead! Jonathan, we have found the treasure trove of the early pharaohs! ”
Seeing that his sister was like no one on the other side, Jonathan, who was being held, kept glancing at her.
"What's wrong with you?"
When Evelyn reacted, she looked back to see Rorschach falling.
Evelyn smiled awkwardly and said, "Well, we can divide the treasure equally!" ”
"Ninety-one points!"
"Four-six!"
"Eighty-two!"
"Deal! But you'll have to provide manpower and transportation! Can you let Jonathan go now? ”
Evelyn showed her shrewdness and quickly struck a deal with Rorschach.
"Yes! But it's up to me when I want to go, and you'll have to teach me ancient Egyptian first! As a sign of sincerity, you can keep the map ......"
Rorschach reached out and handed the map to Evelyn as a guarantee, which made Evelyn, who had just been nervous about negotiating with Rorschach, finally relieved.
But what Evelyn didn't notice was that Rorschach had already taken away the octagonal box containing the map.
After putting away the map, Evelyn turned into her teacher's appearance again, and began to instruct Rorschach in ancient Egyptian writing.
The reason why Rorschach didn't care who had the map was because he didn't care about the map at all, and after just a few glances, he and Adam on the side had already memorized the map.
There must be Krieger somewhere now, redrawing the map by hand.
And on the other side, the investigators of the Wings of Freedom, following Rorschach's guidance, also found Cairo prison.
The three of them looked at the dirty prison, and the corners of Levi's mouth twitched uncontrollably.
"Do you really want to go in?"
Alvin put the notebook in his arms and said, "This is our only chance, O'Connor has been to Hamnat and can be our guide." ”
Levi closed his eyes and gritted his teeth to force himself into the state.
The prison warden, Gad Hassan, had received the news, and he stood at the door with open hands and said, "Don't stand, come in." Welcome to Cairo Prison! Welcome to my home! ”
"Here are slaves, a pound one. Here are the natives of the desert, five pounds a piece, and they can let you go in and out of the desert freely, just be careful not to be thrown in the desert by them at night. And over there are coolies, three pounds each, buy one get one free. Tell me, what do you want? ”
Alvin contacted Cairo Prison on the pretext of buying the population. The prison warden's introduction is also for the purpose of selling goods.
Alvin looked at the people in the cells around him, dozens of them huddled in one cell, and the smell of excrement and body was already making Levi's muscles violent.
"I need soldiers, people who can hold guns, preferably people who have been on the battlefield! Three guides, ten coolies, and coolies who can afford to carry ammunition boxes! ”
Alwin's words surprised the warden and asked, "What do you want these people for, are you going to fight the Sinai Desert again?" ”
However, Alvin only looked at the warden and did not answer.
Han Ji found O'Connor among the recruited prisoners at this moment. He was being beaten in a corner by prison guards.
An excited Hanji leaned over and looked at O'Connor through the fence.
Seeing that there were onlookers, O'Connor did not resist, and endured it like that, until the prison guard got tired and left his side.
O'Connor tilted his head sideways, looked at Han Ji next to the fence, waved his hand and said, "Come here." ”
As if he didn't understand anything, Han Ji leaned in as O'Connor said.
O'Connor quickly reached out at this time, trying to grab Han Ji and have some fun like in the movie.
But he didn't expect that Han Ji reacted faster than him and dodged his hand.
On the other side, Levi also found an outlet and kicked the steel prison, and the sound of steel crashing was accompanied by flying dust, and Levi's kick almost kicked the prison bar to pieces.
There was only the fence that had been bent and deformed, and there was O'Connor, who had just put his face next to the fence and was kicked by Levi unconscious.
The warden looked at O'Connor, who was already in a puddle on the ground, with blood constantly flowing from his head, and said to Alwin, "This is yours, the goods are broken, you must buy him." ”
Alvin paid O'Connor with a cold face, his face as if he had been robbed of a sum for no reason.
The warden happily counted the money to distribute the goods to Alwin, and then watched as Alvin picked up O'Connor from the prison with a loss but not in vain.
When O'Connor felt the pain of the fence hitting his face, it was as if he saw heaven beckoning to him.
Under the white halo were angels in white robes, but how did those angels take knives and stuff them into his face?
O'Connor sat up from the bed suddenly, touching his cheek, still a little painful, but already wrapped in gauze.
His body is not as filthy as it was in prison, it has been cleaned.
Looking at the environment in the room, O'Connor just wanted to escape at the moment, he went to the window and stuck his head out, looked at the height above the ground, and still gave up on this plan.
Picking up the candlestick on the side, O'Connor slowly placed his other hand on the doorknob and twisted it gently.
Looking at the crack in the door that had been opened, O'Connor breathed a long sigh of relief, and quickly rolled out with the help of the cover of the door.
O'Connor, holding the candlestick, looked at the three people in the room and put the candlestick on the ground next to him a little embarrassed.
I saw Alvin looking down at his notes, constantly writing something on them with his pen, Levi was holding a revolver in his hand, the hammer had been cocked, and with a slight pull of the trigger, O'Connor could be killed on the spot.
Alvin closed his notes, looked at O'Connor with his hands raised, and said, "You have half an hour to prepare, and in half an hour, we will set off by boat for Hamnat." ”
Hearing Hamnat's name, O'Connor's mind suddenly came alive. He knew that the person in front of him wanted from him, so he indulged.
I saw him stand up, shrugged his shoulders and said indifferently: "It's okay to go to Hamnat, but I want a large reward, and if I find a treasure, I will also participate in the share of the treasure." ”
O'Connor, who swore by himself, was sure of the people in front of him and was ready to ask for a price to negotiate terms.
Peng's gunshot, O'Connor looked at Levi who fired in shock, the sharp pain came, O'Connor looked at the bleeding muzzle of the gun on his leg, and his foot fell to the ground.
