On a swaying train, Jonathan is holding a glass of water and talking to Evelyn about his opinion.

"My dear sister, you have obviously been deceived, and they must have sent someone to Hamnat. You're stupidly obedient and ready to go to Thebes! ”

Evelyn looked up and asked, "Am I being scammed?" ”

Reaching out and taking out the map from her bosom, Evelyn unfolded it to Jonathan with confidence.

Evelyn said confidently: "The map is still in my hand, how can I get to Hamnath without the map?" ”

Jonathan blurted out and said, "Look for someone, I stole the octagonal box from a man who must know how to get to Hamnat." ”

Hearing this, Evelyn immediately pressed Jonathan's hand on the table and whispered, "You stole it?" Didn't you say you bought it at a stall in Thebes? ”

"Uh...... You know, it's a statement, it's a ...... It's so good, I've got to have another one. ”

Jonathan broke free of Evelyn's hand and took the cup to the other side.

Evelyn looked at her brother dejectedly, even though he was often out of tune, lustful for money, and stealing. But he is really good to himself, and since the death of his parents, Jonathan has always taken care of himself. When he wanted to come to the Cairo Museum to gain archaeological experience, Jonathan took himself from England to Egypt without saying a word, and settled down in this place where birds don't poop.

Sighing, Evelyn returned her attention to the book, Thebes of ancient Egypt was not Thebes of Greece. It is located more than 700 kilometers south of Cairo and takes more than ten hours to reach at the current train speed.

Seeing that it was getting dark, Evelyn looked up from her book. That's when she realized that the train had already stopped, and she looked up not because she needed to rest, but because she heard Jonathan's voice.

"Eve! Run! ”

Following the sound and looking out the window, Jonathan was running towards the train, shouting as he ran.

Coming to the window of the train, Jonathan jumped in from outside the train.

Jonathan's half-lying seat gasping violently made Evelyn pour him a glass of water in distress.

'Ahem...... Ahem......'

After drinking this glass of water, Jonathan was relieved, he looked at Evelyn and said, "Hurry up, there's a monster outside!" ”

Evelyn asked curiously, "Monsters?" What monsters? ”

"What a big cat! A cat that can walk on two feet! It also asks me what to eat! God, I'm thankful it doesn't eat it! ”

Jonathan's explanation made Evelyn frown, and she said solemnly: "Have you drunk duck tincture!" How can you move that kind of thing! It creates hallucinations and is addictive! ”

"I didn't!"

"Then how did you see the statue of the cat god Basteto speaking to you!"

"I didn't, it was alive! Not a statue! ”

The preconceived Evelyn would not believe Jonathan's words, he picked up Jonathan and walked outside, she wanted to expose Jonathan's deception, and then teach him a good lesson, after all, she only had such a relative.

Jonathan, with fear, was led out by Evelyn, and he didn't struggle anymore.

"Wait, Eve. I put my clothes on......"

In Evelyn's suspicious eyes, Jonathan picked up the jacket on the chair, and what Evelyn didn't see was that he secretly hid a weapon under his clothes.

When Evelyn pulled Jonathan off the train, the people and things around her made Evelyn look at Jonathan even more viciously.

Where Jonathan is talking about, the lights are bright, and there are constantly people patrolling back and forth in the distance. The lights in the distance showed the outline of the building, and it appeared that they had reached Thebes.

A little closer is an open-air campsite, which is now bustling with people.

Evelyn pulled Jonathan, searching for the statue of Basteto, the cat god, as she approached the camp.

The closer you get to the camp, the more you can smell the food. Evelyn made her way through the crowd and saw the chef inside.

However, seeing the chef's true face, Evelyn looked back at Jonathan blankly and let go of him blankly.

Really a big cat! A tanuki cat the size of a man and can walk on two feet! The cat, on the other hand, cooked, was surrounding a long dining table, preparing food that Evelyn had never heard of.

"Seeing Jonathan calling you, I don't have to send anyone anymore......"

Evelyn, who was sluggish, looked at the cat preparing the food and couldn't help asking, "What is this?" Is the cat god apparition? ”

"No, this isn't a cat god, it's Elu the cat. The cooking cat who made food for us was one of the few all-round cats, and his chef was trained by the head chef, and if he wanted to enjoy such a delicacy, he would have to empty his wallet if he wanted to eat it. ”

[Ailu Cat: Ailu Cat is an orc race that coexists with humans, and it is also the most reliable all-round helper of hunters, although it does not have the combat power of hunters, but it can also exert extraordinary strength when following the hunters it admires. What hunter hasn't eaten cat meals? What hunter hasn't been in a cat cart? Neither does the blue star! By the way, I heard that there is a place where you eat dumplings three times a day? 】

Evelyn didn't know what to say at the moment, she stared blankly at the cat in front of her waving a chopping knife on the dining table to quickly cut the meat and put it in the baking tray. All kinds of fruits are turned into colorful platters in the hands of cats.

There are other cats next to him, one is staring at the hourglass timer on the side, and the others are playing for the cat in the middle.

It's time! The fragrant barbecue was brought out, and watching the cat carefully put a stick of rosemary on top of the food, it was as if the food had been injected with soul.

Evelyn didn't know how she started or how she ended.

Looking at the food on her plate, Evelyn couldn't eat it. But looking at the sincerity in the eyes of the cat on the other side, she couldn't bear it.

But Rorschach and Adam, who were next to them, had already eaten the frightening amount of food, and their stomachs didn't even bulge after eating.

Stroking her already swollen belly, Evelyn sighed, she wanted to eat, but she couldn't.

Fortunately, there is another person like her!

Evelyn looked at Jonathan beside her, Jonathan was already half-paralyzed in his seat, his left hand caressing his stomach, and his right hand was determined not to let go.

Suddenly, Jonathan's hidden pistol fell to the ground, and he tried to pick it up, but one of them was able to hold it up and then rolled sideways and rolled straight out of his chair.

Jonathan was helped up by the cat next to him, and even the pistol on the ground was picked up by the cat, wiped clean and placed on the table.

Evelyn then remembered that she had been blinded by eating, and she wanted to ask Rorschach with a stomach full of questions.

But looking to the other side of the body, Rorschach was long gone, and in the farther light, Rorschach looked at Thebes, and beside him stood Adam and the cat who had just cooked.

The cat standing on the other side of Rorschach was following Adam's example, clasping her hands around her chest, holding her head up, and then ......

"Meow?"
