Chapter 389 Encounter
Xiao Honglu and others started from the clock tower in the center of Cairo and headed towards the museum. This distance was neither long nor short.

Halfway through the journey, they felt the continuous artillery fire outside.

As a result, it was easily resolved due to Li Yu's powerful strength.

At this moment in the Cairo Museum, O'Connor and others just came out of the hotel. Although they had an agreement with Zheng Zha and others to steal the mummy, the three of them still put their luggage in the hotel first, and then had a casual lunch. Only then did they go to the museum from the hotel.

"Can you believe it? The wine tastes like blood. No, it tastes like blood. I've never tasted red brandy before..."

Jonathan kept complaining as he walked.

Eve said quickly: "The rivers in Egypt are all blood red. All the water will turn into blood. This is also one of the curses of the resurrected mummy monster. Did you see the meteor shower just now? It should have arrived in Cairo!"

O'Connor said calmly: "I don't care about anything else. After stealing the mummy, we will find a ship to leave Egypt. I don't want to have anything to do with mummies that have been rotting for thousands of years... Let's leave the monster to the experts. Zheng Zha and his men are much better than us."

Eve suddenly stood in front of O'Connor with her hands on her hips. She shouted, "Do you mean to say that we should abandon our responsibilities? Just to escape alone? We released that monster! Even with Zheng Zha and the others' help, we can never escape alone!"

At this time, Eve still thought that it was her spell that led to Imhotep's resurrection.

Doesn't that mean all her actions were expected by the Zhongzhou team?

Or it could be said that the Central Plains team deliberately let Eve cast the spell to resurrect Imhotep.

"Wait, you wait first."

O'Connor glared at the beauty in front of him and said loudly: "It was 'you' who released the monster, not 'us'! Don't let us bear this responsibility!"

"It was you who insisted on reading the Book of the Dead, and it was you who chanted the spell that resurrected the monster."

"We have no obligation to fight that monster for the safety of the whole world! And that monster is simply unkillable. Do you want us to use our flesh and blood to fight against the bones of a mummy?"

Eve quickly said, "That's why we need to help Zheng Zha and the others."

"If my memory serves me right, the other of the two books, the Book of Resurrection, is the best weapon to kill the mummy..."

"Besides, didn't Zheng Zha and the others already obtain the Resurrection Sutra? I'm sure I can find the spell to destroy the mummy in it."

O'Connell touched his head as if he had a headache and said loudly, "Wait, what does this have to do with me?"

"If you want to help Zheng Zha and the others, just go ahead."

"Why do I have to do this? I am very grateful to you for saving me in prison, so I promised you to find the City of the Dead and bring you back safely! This is the promise I made to you, and I did it. Do I still have the obligation to help you bear your personal responsibilities? Who was it that read the words on the Bible of the Dead at that time? Who was it?"

Eve was stunned. She murmured, "Yes, it's me...but am I just a small promise to you?"

O'Connor gently pushed her away and continued walking towards the museum. As he walked, he said, "So, you either stay and save the world yourself, or you come with me and leave this damn place. How about it? It's your choice."

Eve followed him, and the woman gritted her teeth and said, "I choose to stay!"

O'Connor stared at her blankly. After a long while, the man finally said through gritted teeth, "Okay, whatever you want!"

"Of course it's up to me. I don't want you to care!"

"up to you……"

Jonathan followed the two of them, shaking his head continuously. From his perspective, the two were just like bickering children. It was obvious that both sides cared about each other, but they were just making angry gestures. They were really like two childish children.

Soon, the three arrived at the gate of the museum. To their surprise, they saw the two Americans walking towards them with pale faces.

Their expressions seemed as if they had seen a ghost. They were so scared that even their hair seemed to stand up. As soon as they saw O'Connor and the other two, they pounced over.

One of the Americans said hurriedly: "Oh my God, we saw it, that horrible monster, you won't believe it."

"It actually dug the bodies out of the desert and sucked them into mummies. The mummies are still in the hotel. It's so scary. Fortunately, a cat passed by and scared it away, otherwise the two of us would have turned into mummies too..."

These words were not clear until the two men calmed down a little and repeated them. Only then did O'Connell and the other two finally know what they had seen.

It turned out that after getting the gold, the Americans went back to Cairo to find a ship. Although they were willing to pay a large sum of money, the ship would not leave until tomorrow, so the two had no choice but to return to the hotel. However, as soon as they entered the hotel room, they saw a half-rotten mummy standing in front of the bed, and the mummy was holding two dried corpses in its hands. The two Americans were immediately scared and could only shoot randomly with their pistols, but ordinary bullets could not cause any harm to the mummy, so the mummy walked towards them step by step. When they were about to be sucked into corpses, a cat walking past the piano scared the mummy away. The two Americans finally saved their lives, and they were extremely frightened, and then they remembered that Jonathan had mentioned it when he was playing cards with them.

"That's right!" Eve said in surprise, "In Egyptian mythology, cats are the guardians of the underworld, and mummies are also dead souls. Cats are their deadly nemesis! Do you remember that Zheng Zha and his friends always brought cats with them? So that's how it is. They anticipated that they might encounter mummy monsters, so they brought cats for self-defense. Can we also always carry cats with us?"

"That's right. Cats are the guardians of the underworld. Before he is fully resurrected, cats can temporarily restrain him. But please listen carefully, this is only before he is fully resurrected. When he is fully resurrected... we will have no way to deal with him!"

Five people were walking towards the museum from the main gate, discussing the mummies as they walked. Suddenly, a cold voice interrupted their conversation. Everyone looked up and saw the museum director standing with a bearded man in a black robe... The man in black was the gravekeeper who had attacked them several times!
The five men reacted quickly. Eve hid behind O'Connor immediately. Jonathan also wanted to follow suit, but was pulled in front of him by O'Connor. He and the two Americans pulled out their guns and pointed them at the men in black.

The old museum director shrugged helplessly and said, "So, do you want to shoot? Or do you want to know why he is here? Sit down, I will tell you everything about us..."

Everyone looked at each other, and finally sat down helplessly. After all, a real person could be killed with bullets, but a mummy could not be threatened with bullets. So they would rather face their former enemies than walk with the hideous and rotten mummy.

"...That's basically it. We belong to a secret organization that guards the City of the Dead and its secrets. Three thousand years have passed. We kill any individual and... organization that attempts to get involved in the City of the Dead. We swear to do our best to protect it all, using any means and methods to prevent the High Priest Imhotep from returning to the world at all costs!" The museum director said loudly to the people around him.

The man in black frowned and said, "But because of you, our mission has failed!"

O'Connor and the others all looked a little embarrassed, but Eve said seriously: "You use this excuse to kill innocent people?" "To stop that monster? Let me think..." The curator and the man in black looked at each other at the same time, and then they said in unison: "Yes!"

O'Connor and his companions were speechless. After a long while, O'Connor murmured, "But why did he keep chasing us? Is it because we entered the pyramid? Didn't he betray the Pharaoh? Why did he still guard the tomb for the Pharaoh?"

The man in black said, "He didn't betray the Pharaoh, but betrayed his duty as the high priest... As a resurrected monster, he will not kill everyone who enters the tomb, but only those who open the holy ark. Every time he kills someone, his magic power will increase. In order to resurrect his lover Ansuna, he must take back all the holy urns. This is why he is chasing you. Of course, the Bible of the Dead in your hands is also something he must get."

The two Americans turned pale, and O'Connor said in surprise, "The Bible of the Dead? It was taken away by Zheng Zha and his men. Speaking of which... Zheng Zha was able to stir up a sandstorm when he used the Bible of the Dead. Don't you know that the Bible of the Dead has such great power after guarding the tomb for thousands of years?"

The curator and the man in black shouted at the same time, "Impossible!" After that, they looked at each other in surprise, because from O'Connor's tone, he didn't seem to be joking, and the five of them did not have the Book of the Dead on them.

The curator immediately stood up and said excitedly: "In this case, maybe we can really get rid of that monster... Is there anyone who can use the Book of the Dead? There are also some high priests who can use the power of the Book of the Dead in the past records."

"After they use it, a mark of the god of death will appear on their hands. Before they die, no one else can use the Book of the Dead. Even the spell that can revive the dead by just reciting the spell will be unusable. So as long as Zheng Zha is immortal, Si Yimo will not be able to use the Book of the Dead!"

The man in black also said excitedly: "Not only that, he can also use the power of the Book of the Dead, maybe he can fight against the monster, then we can calmly find a way to destroy it!"

O'Connor asked quickly: "Do you have a way to destroy it?"

"Is there any way to destroy it?" The curator and the man in black looked at each other again, and they said in unison: "Of course not!"

O'Connor and the others scratched their heads again, and the atmosphere seemed a little weird for a while, until Eve suddenly asked, "Aren't there two books? One is the Bible of the Dead, and the other is the Golden Book of the Sun. If the Bible of the Dead caused this undead monster to appear, then can the Golden Book of the Sun kill the monster?"

The man in black said helplessly: "Although we are the guardians of the tomb, we are not in charge of these two holy books. In fact, we are not allowed to enter the tomb without reason. As descendants of the pharaoh's guards, the City of the Dead is a sacred place for us. It is the place where the dead sleep peacefully. We should not disturb their peace."

Eve said quickly: "I know, I know, but aren't we trying to protect the world now? No one wants that undead monster to be completely resurrected, right? Then let's go find Zheng Zha, and then use the solar shock to kill that monster..."

Just at this time.

Suddenly, a series of artillery fire was heard outside the city.

"Fuck?! Are those shit-eating troops going to blow up Cairo?"

They looked out the window and saw artillery shells flying all over the sky, and then they were blocked outside the city by a magical force.

"It's Zheng Zha and the others! It must be Zheng Zha and the others."

"They have mysterious oriental magic."

Eve shouted loudly.

Then they saw a meteorite falling from the sky.

"I believe you now."

The bearded man in black swallowed and said.

Looking at the miraculous battlefield outside.

The curator and the man in black were suddenly speechless.

Eve suddenly seemed to remember something, and she suddenly realized: "By the way, you mentioned the name Ansuna just now, right? The monster seemed to call me by this name when he was in the mausoleum. Does it matter?"

The curator and the man in black looked at each other in surprise again, and the curator quickly said, "According to our historical records, the reason why he was tortured by insects was actually because of this woman named Ansuna..."

"He must have thought you were the reincarnation of Ansuna. If he wants to revive Ansuna, in addition to the Bible of the Dead, he also needs a living person as a sacrifice. So this sacrifice should be..."

"Should it be me?" Eve showed an "Oh my God" expression. While talking, she kept going up the stairs to the second floor, and then stood next to a large stone tablet and kept stroking the ancient Egyptian words on it.

"But it doesn't matter. As long as we use the Resurrection Sutra, we can definitely kill that monster."

"You are right, but unfortunately you don't have this opportunity!"

A voice suddenly came from above Eve's head. Everyone looked over quickly and saw a skinny man with a dusty face and dark skin standing on the second-floor window with a strange scimitar in his hand. The glass there had been removed by the skinny man at some point. He jumped down from the glass window with an arrogant smile and slashed the scimitar in his hand straight towards Eve's head!
"call out"

A strong sound of breaking through the air was heard.

An arrow whizzed towards them.

The skinny man in the air had no time to react and could only take out his weapon to block.

There was a ding.

The arrow hit the skinny man's scimitar.

He was knocked back more than ten meters by this huge force.

Several bookshelves were knocked over directly, and at the same time, everyone saw Xiao Honglu and others breaking the window on the other side.
