Seeing Zheng Zha's completely bewildered expression, Chu Xuan pushed up his glasses again and said calmly, "We didn't see them on the ship, and we can't find any trace of them now... The plot has changed. Do you think it's because of Jiang Liu and his group? Or is it because of the changes caused by the East China Sea Team, the Indian Team, and the East America Team that entered first?"
"The latter, I suppose," Zheng Zha said.
"Since it's the latter, why don't you, as the captain, give orders and instead have Zhan Lan use her mental power to scan and be constantly vigilant about the surroundings?" Chu Xuan countered.
Immediately, Zheng Zha slapped his forehead and ordered Zhan Lan and Zhang Jie to patrol the vicinity, while Ling Dian was sent to a high point to set up guns, and Xiao Honglu and Qin Zhuiyu were to act as logistics personnel.
Upon learning that he wouldn't have to go to the front lines, Qin Zhuiyu breathed a sigh of relief. However, Xiao Honglu frowned and raised an objection, saying, "Since we are in a strong position and are cooperating with Jiang Liu, why don't we take the initiative to attack?"
"Distance restrictions have not yet been lifted."
Chu Xuan pointed to the Reincarnation Wristwatch, "If I'm not mistaken, this time, our scope for the mission is completely restricted."
"Then we can ask Jiang Liu—"
"The wisdom of mortals."
Before Xiao Honglu could finish speaking, Chu Xuan interrupted him, "Leaving aside the purpose of the main god, just analyzing the invitation issued by the main god, we are all guys who have not yet found the meaning of life."
Jiang Liu also revealed this to us.
If one cannot face reality and spends their life hiding behind others, they may survive, but their spirit will not grow. In the fourth stage of their genetic development, they will be corrupted by inner demons, falling into demonic ways and finding it difficult to break through to a higher realm.
For a moment, Xiao Honglu was speechless. He realized that his way of thinking could not keep up with Chu Xuan's. He was thinking about how to let more people live, while Chu Xuan was thinking about whether the members of the Central Continent Team would unlock the fourth stage of the gene lock in the future.
"Chu Xuan, you..."
Zheng Zha realized that Chu Xuan had really changed.
"It's just analyzing the problem from a longer-term perspective."
Chu Xuan pushed up his glasses and said indifferently, "I can guarantee that, apart from the newcomers, our team's overall combat strength is definitely in the upper-middle tier among all the reincarnation teams. Therefore, the enemies we will face in the future, apart from some monsters that we can't find a solution to, are the other reincarnation teams."
In the future, we will have to spend more time making up for the deficiencies on the spiritual level, such as abstract concepts like spirit, will, and thought. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to even spend reward points to stay in the world of certain horror movies for ten years or so.
As for exchanging for enhancements... as long as you can unlock the fourth tier of the gene lock, these are just icing on the cake and are of little importance.
"After I return this time, I'll try to utilize all the resources from all the horror movies you've seen before."
"Over ten years! That's too much..."
In Zheng Zha's opinion, a vacation in a safe area of the horror movie world—
no problem!
But waiting for ten or more years is a bit excessive!
"Willpower and temperament cannot be equated. Survival instinct can also lead to fight-or-flight response and freeze response. Simply facing fear and enjoying the aftermath of a disaster does not count as cultivating one's temperament."
The personal abilities evolved from the light of the soul are related to a person's convictions and beliefs, so naturally, convictions are more precious.
Chu Xuan's tone remained calm, "The Republic of China, this turbulent era, was actually the best battlefield for tempering one's character and forging one's beliefs."
Inner demons...
It's nothing more than fears and weaknesses that you can't face directly, but as long as you can go through this battlefield and strengthen your beliefs, what do inner demons matter?
The inner demons of modern people are incomparable to the transformative beliefs of insightful and ambitious individuals of this era; they can only be considered filthy.
We might even have the opportunity to meet the man who inspired China to strive to catch up with the world and listen to his teachings.
Perhaps he can also offer me some inspiration…
gentlemen?
Zheng Zha immediately realized who it was. He opened his mouth, his first reaction was to refuse, and he unconsciously took a step back. But he immediately took another step forward and questioned, "Do we need to trouble such a big shot with our affairs? We're just a bunch of bastards who don't know the meaning of life!"
"Aren't important people supposed to solve problems for ordinary people?"
Chu Xuan said it as if it were a matter of course, "If not, then what kind of important person are you?"
Snapped!
Zheng Zha took another step back, sighed, and said, "No wonder you're a senior colonel."
"Then I'll take that as a yes."
"Isn't it true that only Zhan Lan and Zhao Yingkong can return to this world?"
“Just ask Jiang Liu to place a speck of light for us as well,” Chu Xuan said, then added, “We don’t need to worry about being manipulated by him; we’re already being manipulated by the God.”
The implication was that he had also included himself in his scheme.
Having a lot of debt is not a burden.
As he spoke, Chu Xuan deliberately showed off the God's Watch, "Furthermore, once the fourth stage of the Gene Lock is unlocked and the Light of the Mind is awakened, it might also be possible to erase the light spots..."
At the same time.
The group walked nearly a hundred meters through the passage and arrived at a dimly lit hall...
# Chapter 531 The Reincarnated Pharaoh's Daughter
Entering the passage, they arrived at the main hall, which was dimly lit with little light, but sunlight shone down directly above where they stood.
Evelyn noticed a standing bronze mirror nearby, which was being exposed to the sunlight, so she went over and fiddled with it, adjusting it to a specific position.
Instantly, the mirror reflected the sunlight shining down from above, and then reflected back and forth on other mirrors in the hall, illuminating the entire space.
"Ancient Egyptian tricks."
Jonathan was not interested in this type of lighting.
"This is no small trick."
Evelyn explained to Jiang Liu and the other students, "Each reflection of sunlight weakens it, but these bronze mirrors can illuminate the entire space by reflecting sunlight! Don't underestimate these bronze mirrors; they are the crystallization of the wisdom of the ancient Egyptians!"
Jiang Liu walked up to a bronze mirror and examined it closely. He could see that there were actually tiny, scale-like patterns on the smooth surface of the mirror.
These bronze mirrors were painstakingly hammered out by the ancient Egyptians, representing the pinnacle of craftsmanship.
After resolving the lighting issue, Evelyn, considering the large area of Hamunaptra, decided to split up. Jonathan would take Isaac, Hermione, and Ron, while she would lead Jiang Liu, Lu Jin, and Duanmu Ying. Qi Tengyi and Zhao Yingkong would accompany O'Connor to find the warden who had entered the area earlier.
Upon hearing this, Zhao Yingkong and Qi Teng looked at Jiang Liu. Seeing him nod, they followed the footprints on the ground to find the greedy prison warden.
Evelyn found a direction and entered a passage. Jiang Liu and the others followed closely behind, walking in the narrow, low passage and observing the murals on both sides.
Evelyn was indeed a qualified teacher, explaining the history of Seti I to Jiang Liu and the others, and describing a past event that was not recorded in official history based on the murals and the text on them.
"Imodon, the high priest of Seti I, had an affair with one of the Pharaoh's wives. After the Pharaoh discovered this, the two conspired to murder him..."
Imhotep escaped with the help of the other warriors, while the Pharaoh's wife committed suicide on the spot...
Later, Imhotep planned to use the Book of the Dead to resurrect the Pharaoh's wife, but their plot to assassinate the Pharaoh was discovered by his daughter. Therefore, just as Imhotep was about to complete the resurrection ritual, the knights discovered and stopped his scheme in time…
Imhotep received his due judgment. His tongue was cut out, depriving him of the ability to chant spells and communicate with the gods. He was then wrapped in bandages, placed in a coffin, and filled with scarabs to devour his flesh.
Because this form of punishment is so cruel, once a person who has been subjected to it escapes and is resurrected, they will gain extremely powerful magical abilities!
Therefore, the Pharaoh's daughter decided to sacrifice her chance to return to the embrace of the gods, allowing her soul to wander and reincarnate eternally under the incantation of the Book of the Sun, so that one day she could join the descendants of the warriors to defeat the fully resurrected Imhotep and end this destiny.
After she finished speaking, Evelyn seemed a little dazed, certain that this was the first time she had heard this story, but for some reason, it felt very familiar.
"Is the Pharaoh's daughter sick? She could have just killed Imhotep and been done with it. Why complicate things?" As an observer, Lu Jin didn't understand the Pharaoh's daughter's thought process.
"Perhaps their hearts were blinded by hatred."
Jiang Liu, however, could understand.
Think about it carefully:
As the daughter of a pharaoh, she discovers her stepmother is having an affair and conspiring with her lover to murder her father. Even more shockingly, the lover later manages to resurrect her stepmother so they can continue their passionate affair.
Who can tolerate this?
Pharaoh's daughter's first thought must have been to inflict the greatest pain and torment on Imhotep!
Just as the greatest suffering for these Eastern practitioners is the loss of their meridians and inability to cultivate, so too is the case for Western practitioners.
Therefore, cutting off Imhotep's tongue, preventing him from chanting spells and casting magic, was a way to deprive the high priest of his power, causing him to suffer extreme mental anguish first, and then having scarabs devour his flesh and blood, inflicting unforgettable pain.
But afterwards, Pharaoh's daughter calmed down and realized that Imhotep would inevitably be "unearthed" one day.
reason?
It should be considered an experience.
Almost none of the sealed monsters will decay within the seal; most will be reborn one day. For this reason, the Pharaoh's daughter used the power of the Book of the Sun to reincarnate in the world, hoping to stop Imhotep's conspiracy once again in the future.
Tsk!
how to say?
It's a case of better late than never.
Thinking of this, Jiang Liu suddenly looked at Evelyn and noticed that the innate Qi in her body was pulsating in a special way, resonating with the Qi flow within Hamunaptra. He was surprised and wondered to himself, "Does Evelyn have some special connection with this place?"
Evelyn shook her head, regaining her senses. The pulsating innate energy within her body also calmed down, returning to a state similar to that of a normal person. That is, it flowed smoothly along with normal cellular life activities, maintaining the vitality of the human body.
She then said to Jiang Liu and the others, "This history has not been recorded anywhere else; it's a major discovery! If you can help me find more evidence, your status as official international students will be absolutely secure! The university might even waive more than 90% of your tuition fees!"
"Nine percent!"
Duanmu Ying's eyes lit up. After all, she was currently penniless and relied on Jiang Liu's help to survive. If more than 90% of her tuition could be waived, the financial burden she would have to bear in her future studies would be minimal.
For a moment, Duanmu Ying was in high spirits and walked ahead, determined to find the corresponding evidence so as to exempt more than 90% of the tuition fees.
Fortunately, Jiang Liu had already scanned Hamunaptra with his spiritual power and knew that although there were mechanisms in this place, they were different from the Bottle Mountain and Guixu he had experienced before. There were not as many gears and mechanisms, but mostly heavy piles of stones. However, there was a stretch of quicksand under this desert. If there was a big disturbance, such as an earthquake, the entire Hamunaptra might sink into the quicksand.
"I've found a secret room!"
Duanmu Ying, who was walking at the front, discovered a secret room at the corner of the passage. She turned around and called to Jiang Liu and the others before running inside.
"Wait! You're not a professional archaeologist, don't touch it!" Evelyn hurriedly followed, calling out, afraid that Duanmu Ying might accidentally damage the antique.
Jiang Liu and Lu Jin exchanged glances, then followed him into the secret room.
The room was empty and filled with cobwebs. The stone table and chairs were covered in dust and cracked, as if they would collapse at the slightest touch.
Besides that, the most conspicuous thing in this secret room is a coffin.
