"Flameme Academy? I've heard of it; it's a magic academy from fairy tales."
Seeing that the six seemed to hit it off immediately, Evelyn breathed a sigh of relief and joined the conversation, saying, "Is this a new way for young people to greet each other? I'm not outdated yet, am I?"
“No, Ms. Evelyn, you are still very young,” Ron complimented Evelyn.
Having experienced the Void of Return, Jonathan gained knowledge and recognized the existence of cultivators, naturally leading him to affirm the existence of the legendary magic academy.
and so!
Flammel Academy is definitely not just something that exists in fairy tales!
Then look at the somewhat awkward friendly relationship between Isaac, Hermione, Ron, and Jiang Liu, Lu Jin, and Duanmu Ying—
The three of them came from the legendary magic academy!
A clash between the younger generation of "wizards" from the East and the younger generation of "magicians" from the West!
The world is truly mysterious and wonderful!
But compared to magic and witchcraft, Jonathan still prefers gold!
Moreover, with the help of six extraordinary young heroes and Wonder Woman, he was certain that they would find the legendary City of the Dead!
Just before they officially set off, Evelyn led everyone to an open-air prison on the outskirts of Cairo.
Compared to the bustling city, this prison in the suburbs appears rather dilapidated, with walls made of yellow mud and piled-up stones, giving it a gloomy appearance.
What are you doing in prison?
Upon entering the prison and arriving at the open-air area, Lu Jin saw the gallows placed in the center. Scanning the cells, he saw that most of the prisoners were locals dressed in traditional clothing with sallow skin. He couldn't help but ask Evelyn, "Teacher?"
"Find someone who knows how to get to Hamunaptra."
Although the librarian Terence burned half of the map, Evelyn had already learned that the prison held a deserter named O'Connor. As a soldier, he had stumbled into the legendary Hamunaptra while trying to escape... and was subsequently imprisoned for his escape. "Today is his day of reckoning! We must get him out."
How to save them?
Duanmu Ying was puzzled. "Since he's a deserter, he should definitely be executed... Could it be that he was wronged, and you happen to have evidence to overturn his case, teacher?"
“I don’t have time to overturn his conviction, and in this prison, whether a prisoner has committed a crime or not is completely irrelevant.”
Evelyn took a pound note out of her pocket and smiled slightly. "The important thing is to have money! But considering he's a deserter, a vicious criminal, if we can get the route to Hamunaptra directly from him, we won't need to spend any money."
That's all.
Evelyn arrived at a cell where a disheveled man wearing a tattered shirt was being held.
O'Connor!
"Mr. O'Connor, I've heard you know the route to the City of the Dead?" Evelyn didn't beat around the bush and went straight to the point.
O'Connor, however, was a shrewd man. He sneered, "I'm not going to tell you the route. Besides, are you taking your students to Hamunaptra for an archaeological expedition?"
“Please answer my question, Mr. O’Connor. If you’re willing to tell us the route, we might bail you out of prison,” Evelyn stated her terms.
"maybe?"
O'Connor raised an eyebrow. "That's hard to say... First, redeem me, and I'll be your guide. Otherwise, don't expect to get any information out of me."
"I think we need more trust between us..."
Faced with O'Connor's cunning, Evelyn calmly dealt with him, engaging in a drawn-out argument. But at that moment, prison guards came and dragged O'Connor out.
The moment of execution has arrived!
After being led out of his cell, O'Connor struggled to lunge at Evelyn, trying to kiss her, but was stopped by a large hand and pushed away, who said, "That's not gentlemanly behavior, Mr. O'Connor."
"I'm about to die! What's with all this talk of being a gentleman? I'm not from the wealthy class!"
O'Connor was filled with resentment at Jiang Liu's actions in stopping him, but as he was dragged away by the soldiers, he still shouted loudly at Evelyn, "If you want what you want, you must save me first! Otherwise, you will never find that desert, even if you grow old and die!"
"Thank you, Jiang Liu."
Evelyn was startled by O'Connor's attack, then said with annoyance, "But now I have to pay to bail him out of the warden's hands. Hopefully, the warden won't ask for an exorbitant price..."
While everyone followed Evelyn to find the warden, Jiang Liu remained unmoved. He then walked to the outside of another nearby cell, gave the people inside a playful smile, and said, "Long time no see, Zheng Zha. But how did you become criminals?"
Zheng Zha's mouth twitched, speechless.
Ten minutes ago—
The Central Continent team arrived next to O'Connor's cell.
After the veterans, including Zheng Zha, awoke, they immediately checked on the newcomers.
There are three in total.
Two men and one woman: a strong man, a beautiful woman, and a boy who was only about 1.56 meters tall.
Immediately afterwards, Zheng Zha read the message on his wristwatch: "Destroy the undead creature Imhotep, and the entire team will be rewarded with one D-level side quest. Restricted area: Do not leave O'Connor within 5000 meters."
"Is this another mission with limited scope?" Chu Xuan adjusted his glasses, which gleamed white.
"Not to mention the Book of the Dead and the Book of the Sun, these are treasures! I also happen to know ancient Egyptian and cuneiform."
Qi Tengyi, however, was full of excitement.
"is it?"
Chu Xuan nodded slightly, "It seems the Supreme God doesn't just randomly choose people..."
"Wait, there are other teams in this horror movie!"
Zhan Lan's shouts attracted the attention of others.
They quickly looked down at their watches.
But we see:
The East America Team, the Indian Team, and the East China Sea Team have now entered the "The Mummy: Under One Person" series.
[Imhotep revived, and the team fight officially began!]
Killing a member of another team whose gene lock has not been activated will grant 2,000 reward points and one C-level side quest; killing a member of the opposing team whose gene lock has been activated will grant 7,000 reward points and one B-level side quest; each friendly team member killed will result in a negative one-point count, while each enemy member killed will result in a positive one-point count. The final number multiplied by 2,000 will be the reward points for the remaining members of both teams!
"Team battle?" Zheng Zha sighed, looked at Chu Xuan, and said, "That stone tablet that appeared in the God's Space before... there are actually other teams there! And this time we have to fight each other... the God is inhuman!"
Zhang Jie agreed earnestly, "Indeed, the Supreme God is not human!"
However, Zhan Lan noticed the words "Under One Person" and said, "On another note, could we seek Jiang Liu's help? Is this the same horror movie world we experienced last time?"
"It's probably not necessary. He's quite busy. The land of China in this parallel world is suffering from the ravages of warlord wars, foreigners are eyeing it covetously, and the various sects are not of one mind, fighting fiercely in the open and covert... He is determined to unite the extraordinary people there, how could he have time to come to Egypt?"
Zheng Zha was interested, but Zhao Yingkong immediately rejected the suggestion, unwilling to trouble Jiang Liu.
at this time.
The three newlyweds also woke up.
The burly man, spewing vulgarities, didn't believe Zheng Zha and the others at all. Upon seeing the woman among the newlyweds, he became so lecherous that he tried to humiliate her on the spot.
Zheng Zha violently twisted his arms and legs, and sneered, "It seems that your identity in the reincarnation space is that of a criminal, at the very least a rapist. Our team doesn't need a bastard like you!"
This scene also startled the female newcomer named Qin Zhuiyu.
But the young newcomer remained unmoved and instead spoke up: "My name is Xiao Honglu. I have a general understanding of the current situation and have also read 'The Mummy'."
Indiana Team, East Sea Team, East America Team...
Should we consider the actual continents? Judging by the order in which they appear in horror movies, our "Central Continent Team" should be the strongest of the four. However, since they entered the "Mummy" series first, they'll definitely have made their plans in advance; it's just unknown how much this will affect the plot...
Should we stick to the original storyline?
Zheng Zha was stunned for a moment, then looked at Chu Xuan and suddenly laughed, "Chu Xuan, this young man looks just like you. Is he your son who was left outside?"
The others also looked at Chu Xuan and then at Xiao Honglu, and found that the two were indeed very similar, not in appearance, but in their calm and composed attitude.
"No."
Chu Xuan denied it and said no more.
Xiao Honglu also took the opportunity to observe Chu Xuan. He noticed that the other man was expressionless and wore glasses that reflected the light shining into the cell from outside, making it impossible to see his eyes. However, he took this as a test for himself to establish a firm foothold in the Zhongzhou team.
"Long time no see, Zheng Zha. But how did you become criminals?"
Just then, a familiar voice rang out from outside the cell.
Zheng Zha, Zhao Yingkong, and the others hurriedly turned around, only to see Jiang Liu standing outside the cell with a smile on his face, a playful curve to his lips, his gaze falling on Xiao Honglu, "Brought here for child trafficking? Serves you right!"
"Stop arguing!"
Zhao Yingkong grabbed the cell bars and pried them open with a little force, glaring at Jiang Liu, "But what about you? What brings you to Egypt?"
"To obtain official international student status so that I can study with peace of mind in the future, I have decided to explore the legendary city of the dead, Hamunaptra, with a history teacher named Evelyn."
Jiang Liu succinctly explained why he was there, and then casually asked, "By the way, could you tell me about the plot? Is Evelyn the main character?"
"The female lead."
Zhan Lan answered.
"Am I the male lead?" Jiang Liu asked.
"You're more like a fan-made character."
Zhan Lan's eyes twitched, realizing that with the intrusion of "Under One Person" into the "Mummy" series, the so-called plot could not be trusted, but she still gave an answer.
"Oh, then I'm a little disappointed."
Jiang Liu feigned a dejected expression, but Zhao Yingkong calmly raised her foot to stomp on his toes. He stepped back slightly, causing her to miss, and mocked, "Yingkong, compared to your teacher, you are still too green."
"cut!"
Zhao Yingkong stared coldly, snorted, and brooded alone.
Meanwhile, Zhan Lan took the opportunity to describe the plot of the "Mummy" series to Jiang Liu.
"Imhotep, the Scorpion King, Qin Shi Huang... these are getting more and more outrageous. But a third installment probably won't happen. Qin Shi Huang's mausoleum is in the Qinling Mountains, where there's a peculiar man-made energy field that allows ordinary people without aptitude to embark on the path of Qi cultivation..."
At this point, Jiang Liu asked again, "The Supreme God probably didn't send you here for a vacation, did he? Judging from your description, Imhotep isn't difficult to deal with."
"Is Imhotep, who can stir up sandstorms and even tsunamis, not difficult to deal with?" Zheng Zha was somewhat doubtful of life, thinking that Jiang Liu was joking.
True!
The last encounter in the Ghost Realm was indeed extremely dangerous, but "Nie Xiaoqian" and "Black Mountain Demon" were only powerful individuals; they could not affect the natural forces of reality.
Dust storm! Tsunami!
