Infinite Terror: This Middle Continent is Rebellious

Chapter 12 Don't Try to Steal My Knife
"Oh, no time."

Wen Lie closed the door with his backhand, decisively and efficiently.

Qin Zhuiyu's smile froze on her face.

It took a long time for her expression to return to normal.

She looked at the door in front of her, stomped her feet angrily, a trace of resentment flashed in her eyes, and she walked away from the door with strong steps.

Wen Lie held the long knife and lay back on the bed, listening to the noise outside the door without a trace of emotion.

"This woman must have come to steal my knife."

Wen Lie hugged the blade and spoke to himself with certainty.

From experience, any woman who suddenly comes up to him and shows her affection is definitely a gold digger who has found a profitable opportunity. The only person who can benefit from him is his substitute, the god Anubis.

He would not fall for this trick and end up with his body drowned in the Nile River after the Girl-hunting Festival.

He doesn't have any sisters who can help him, not to mention that this is a horror movie, so even if they did, they wouldn't be able to help him.

The next day, in the hotel lobby.

Wen Lie ate the pie and drank the sugarcane juice in big mouthfuls. His left hand, which usually held the mobile phone at this time, was now holding the substitute god Anubis, and he never let go.

Qin Zhuiyu ate the omelet calmly, as if nothing had happened last night.

Gao Hongliang observed the two of them secretly, with an expressionless face.

Zheng Zha, who was good at listening, looked a little embarrassed, while Zhao Yingkong looked indifferent.

After leisurely finishing his breakfast, Wen Lie went out as if nothing had happened and retrieved the repaired scabbard from the blacksmith shop.

"Ah! It felt so good when it broke..."

Wen Lie looked at the broken part of the scabbard with a sad face. The circle of iron sheet was an eyesore no matter how he looked at it.

The long sword that the god Anubis inhabits is a work of art inlaid with gems, and the matching scabbard is also of great value. After it was broken and repaired, its quality has been greatly reduced.

"Just make do with it," Zhang Jie said lazily, leaning against the window to bask in the sun. "Just be happy that the blacksmith didn't remove the gold rim of the scabbard and replace it with an iron one."

There are three circles of gold rings inlaid on the scabbard. If you take it off, you can sell it for tens of thousands of dollars.

"That's because Zheng Zha paid more."

Wen Lie sighed and looked around.

Zheng Zha, Zhang Heng, Zhan Lan, and Zhao Yingkong are not here.

"Where are they?"

"Zhang Heng said he wanted to buy a bow. Isn't he an alternate for the Olympic archery competition? Although I don't think a bow would be very useful, Zheng Zha really supports Zhang Heng's attitude and took him out to buy a bow."

Zhang Jie patted the Desert Eagle on his waist. How could a bow be as useful as a gun?
"As for Zhao Yingkong and Zhan Lan, they said they were going to the Christian district in the south to get some holy clothes and Bibles to use as disguises."

More than an hour later, when O'Connor arrived at the hotel, the senior members of the Zhongzhou team and Wen Lie had all changed into white collars and black shirts, and were holding a Bible.

O'Connor asked in astonishment, "What are you doing?"

Wen Lie, Zheng Zha, Zhan Lan and others looked at each other. Zheng Zha walked towards O'Connor, raised his right hand, and released a scarlet flame.

“Actually, we are the church’s exorcists.”

Zheng Zha spoke reservedly under O'Connor's shocked gaze.

At Cairo's Giza Harbor, the streets along the docks bustled with activity. The cacophony of shouts, the neighing of horses, and the distant blast of ship whistles resonated across the harbor, forming a unique symphony. The Zhongzhou team followed O'Connor there and encountered the heroine, Eve, and her brother, Jonathan, beside a docked ship. O'Connor approached and called out, "Are you waiting for me?"

When Eve and Jonathan heard O'Connor's voice, they turned around together. When they saw O'Connor's appearance, Eve, who had just been saying bad things about O'Connor, was stunned.

The last time she met O'Connor, he was still disheveled and dirty. He had been in prison for who knows how long, and there was not a single clean spot on his body.

Now O'Connor appeared in front of Eve. He had taken a shower, shaved his hair and beard, and changed into clean clothes. He looked like a handsome man, and Eve was stunned by his look.

Eve stammered, "...Oh, hello."

Jonathan greeted O'Connor cheerfully and patted his chest.

"A good day for adventure, isn't it, O'Connor?"

As soon as his hand moved away, O'Connor immediately opened his shirt and took out his wallet to check.

Jonathan said awkwardly, "Oh, we're all family. I won't try to harm you."

O'Connor smiled and said, "Speaking of which, I'm sorry..."

Jonathan said magnanimously, "It's okay, it happens all the time."

O'Connor put his wallet back into his inner pocket, shook his head and said, "No, this isn't the day to go on this adventure."

"O'Connor, what do you mean? Because of them? Didn't you say you were the only one taking us?"

Eve came back to her senses from O'Connor's seduction and looked at Zheng Zha, Wen Lie and others with a wary look.

Jonathan asked in a joking tone, "Hey, O'Connor, you're not going to turn against us, are you?"

“All flesh is like grass, and all its glory like the flower of grass. The grass withers, the flower falls, but the word of the Lord endures forever.”

Wen Lie held the substitute god Anubis and started to recite a passage of scripture to Eve and Jonathan.

Wen Lie took the lead, and Eve's momentum weakened a little. Born in a Christian country, she still had a certain respect for pastors.

Suppressing Eve's aura, Wen Lie continued, "We are from the Burial Agency, the Christian heresy sanction agency, and we are the Lord's agents."

"Burial mechanism?"

Eve and Jonathan looked at each other, their gazes conveying only confusion.

Eve put her hands on her hips, puffed out her chest, and raised her spirits again. She said, "I don't care where you are from. This person has already made an agreement with me. Do you think our teachings don't include keeping promises?"

"He will take you to Hamunaptra, the City of the Dead, but not today." Wen Lie turned his head to look at Zheng Zha and gave him a look, "Priest Zheng Zha."

Zheng Zha blinked and looked at Wen Lie in confusion.

Wen Lie's cheek twitched.

As expected, eye contact is deceptive!

Eve also glanced at Zheng Zha. Seeing that he didn't move, she said unhappily, "What exactly do you want to do? O'Connor! We have an appointment to leave today! The warden has already brought people on board. If you don't leave now, do you want him to take you back to prison?"

Although she was not happy about it, the Zhongzhou team was larger in number and more powerful, so Eve had no choice but to reveal the name of the warden to warn the people in the Zhongzhou team not to think that she was easy to bully.

O'Connor said helplessly, "Miss, Hamunaptra is not as safe as you think. The tomb is guarded by the undead and a group of mysterious gravekeepers. It is a veritable city of the dead. Many more people have died there than the living who are about to go there!"

"So you hired a priest?"

There was a questioning look in Eve's eyes.
