1926, Cairo Prison
"You said you bought it in Thebes, so why is your 'friend' in prison? Jonathan!" Evelyn deliberately emphasized the word friend.
Jonathan was a little uncomfortable: "Uh... maybe this guy has done something wrong!"
"Why is he in prison?"
"How should I know?"
...
They kept joking along the way, and soon the warden led them to the outside of a prison. Two prison guards escorted a disheveled man with long golden hair in. Jiang Ning knew that this was O'Connor!
"Did you steal it from him?" Evelyn pointed at O'Connor.
Jonathan pulled Evelyn: "Uh, let's go! Let's go have lunch first and talk about it." It seemed that Jonathan was a little uncomfortable facing the owner.
O'Connor looked at the people outside the cell door: "Who are you?" Then, he turned his head and looked at Evelyn: "Who is this bitch?"
Evelyn frowned: "Bitch?"
The two prison guards standing behind O'Connor kept beating O'Connor with rubber sticks.
"We are going to find Hamunatta, do you know the way?" Jiang Ning asked.
O'Connor looked at Jiang Ning and frowned: "Why should I tell you? Boy! And why should I take you there?"
Jiang Ning squatted down and looked directly at O'Connor: "Because we will rescue you."
"Hey!"
O'Connor stretched out his fist and wanted to punch Jiang Ning hard. As a result, the fist was held by Jiang Ning's hand, and he secretly exerted force. At this time, O'Connor's expression changed completely, and Jiang Ning looked directly at O'Connor: "What do you think? Think about it!"
"Let the bitch tell me in person."
Jiang Ning looked at O'Connor, stood up and signaled to Evelyn.
Evelyn approached O'Connor and said excitedly, "Have you really... I mean, have you really been to Hamunatta?"
O'Connor's expression was slightly serious: "Yes, I have been there."
"What is it like there? Can you tell me about it?"
"You want to know?" O'Connor smiled.
Evelyn nodded desperately: "Yes, I want to know."
O'Connor hooked a finger, and after Evelyn approached, he kissed Evelyn fiercely: "Then listen to your friend and get me out quickly." O'Connor's action seemed to annoy the prison guards, and they kept whipping him.
At this time, the pot-bellied warden came over: "Take him there."
"Wait, where are you taking him?" Evelyn stopped the warden and asked.
The warden shrugged and laughed: "Where else can he go? The execution ground, he was sentenced to hanging! Haha."
...
On the execution platform, O'Connor had a thick noose around his neck, and a jailer asked him if he had any last words to say. He said yes, let him out. As a result, it was naturally impossible.
Jiang Ning watched O'Connor go to Xingtai, wanting to teach him a lesson. When he was about to die from the rope, he said, "He knows the location of Hamunaptra, and he has been there in person. If you let him go, you can take whatever treasures there are."
"Are you telling the truth?" The warden looked at Jiang Ning.
Jiang Ning nodded, "Of course it's true. I advise you to let him go quickly. If he dies, no one will know where to go to Hamunaptra."
"Put him down!"
...
Chittagong, Jiang Ning, Evelyn, and Jonathan were walking at the port with suitcases.
Jiang Ning had two pistols on his ribs and a bullet belt around his waist, which made Evelyn look sideways: "We are going to do archaeology, do we need to bring guns?"
"Miss, this is Africa! You don't want to encounter bandits and wild animals on the road, right? It's safer to bring a gun!" "
Hey, I agree with what this guy said!"
Jiang Ning and the other two looked back, only to see that O'Connor had already changed his appearance. Unlike the disheveled appearance in prison, he had already washed and dressed up, and his long hair was cut short. He applied hair oil and combed it back, so that Evelyn was a little stunned, and said hello after a while.
"What's your name?" Jiang Ning asked knowingly.
"O'Connor, call me O'Connor!" O'Connor stretched out his hand and shook hands with Jiang Ning.
Jiang Ning introduced everyone: "Let me introduce myself, Ning Jiang, a Chinese. This lady is Miss Evelyn, and this..."
"Jonathan, call me Jonathan!" Jonathan said, patting O'Connor's chest.
O'Connor took out his wallet and took a look at it, smiling: "Nice to meet you, Jonathan!"
Jonathan said awkwardly: "Don't worry, we are friends now. I won't do this to you again."
"That's the best!"
...
The four were about to get on the boat, but they found that the warden had also come with bags. Evelin looked disgusted: "Damn it, why are you here too?"
The warden didn't care: "I'm here to protect my investment, miss!"
"I can't stand it!"
"Haha!" Jiang Ning smiled and thought to himself, I'm afraid you'll be dead when you get to Hamunatta, Mr. Warden!
...
After getting on the boat and putting away their luggage, Jiang Ning walked out of the room and came to the deck. He saw O'Connor and Evelyn talking, but Jonathan was nowhere to be seen. He walked over and saw that O'Connor brought a bag of ammunition. He stepped forward and
casually pulled out a gun, looked at it for a few times, and said with a smile: "Are you going to start a world war, O'Connor!"
O'Connor loaded the gun with ammunition one by one, and looked at Jiang Ning after hearing this: "That place is very strange, brother! Bring more weapons, just in case!"
"You have a strong sense of crisis!"
"Thank you!" O'Connor looked up and smiled.
"Can you tell us about that place, Mr. O'Connor!" Evelyn asked.
O'Connor answered while checking a revolver: "Because of the legend of Hamunaptra, my troops and I crossed Libya to Hamunaptra. In the end, we did not see the treasure, but were besieged by a group of men in black. In the end, my troops were all destroyed. I was the only one alive, and I escaped to the desert. I don't know how I survived. There is no water in the desert, only scorpions, snakes and blood! That place is very weird, I have seen it with my own eyes."
"What happened?"
O'Connor looked at Jiang Ning and Evelyn: "Can you imagine sand that swallows people? I'm not talking about quicksand, but a human face printed on the sand! I'm sure there is a curse in Hamunaptra."
Jiang Ning took out a bottle of whiskey from somewhere, he poured a glass for O'Connor and drank the whiskey: "I heard that there are mummies guarding Hamunaptra, and legend has it that there are two priceless treasures in Hamunaptra. The Black Book of the Dead and the Golden Book of the Sun!"
"What is that?"
Evelyn took over the conversation: "Legend has it that the Black Book of the Dead records all the spells and curses of ancient Egypt, while the Golden Book of the Sun records all the runes of ancient Egypt. It is because of these two books that I have become completely fascinated with Egypt."
"Haha, is that so? It's quite interesting."
"You don't believe it?" Evelyn stared with dissatisfaction.
O'Connor looked at Evelyn and said nothing. Evelyn turned around and left angrily.
"Hey, what did I say wrong?" He asked Jiang Ning again: "What did I say wrong?"
Jiang Ning shook his head: "You don't understand women!" After that, he got up and left to play a few games with Jonathan.
"Hey, brother!"
