Chapter 114 ·New Mummy
Seth.
One of the most powerful gods in ancient Egyptian mythology. He controls several extremely powerful areas such as the earth, desert, storms, and foreign countries. And in the entire Egyptian mythology system, there are few who are stronger than him.
In other words, He is the theoretically strongest one - because in the Egyptian mythology system, almost every main god once served as the supreme god in his own worship system. In the nine-pillar system of gods with the sun god Ra as the center, generally recognized by later generations, it was Set who defeated the most powerful and terrifying snake of destruction, Apophis, who was bent on devouring Ra.
He is a god who is both good and evil. In the early days of mythology, he mostly appeared in the form of a guardian. In the later stages of the myth, the legend of Seth murdering Osiris unfolds. He was gradually portrayed as the incarnation of dark power, fighting with Horus, who represented light.
He is powerful - so powerful that there is no weakness to be found. Because even in mythology, Horus used the divine power of Osiris to defeat him, rather than using any props or conspiracy. Compared with Set, Anubis, who played an important role in the first two plots of The Mummy, is like a fragile puppy.
After all, Anubis is just the god of death and a subordinate of Osiris, the king of Hades. Even in some classics, He is the son of Seth and Nephthys, the queen of the underworld.
So, does Set exist in the mummy’s worldview?
The answer is yes.

Jiang Yu did not talk to Chu Xuan through Zhan Lan. After saying goodbye to Zhan Lan, he went to the room where Chu Xuan was - he saw Li Shuaixi standing in the hall outside the door, looking into the depths of the ruined city. He didn't know what Li Shuaixi was thinking, and Li Shuaixi ignored him and just stared into the distance in concentration.
In the Zhongzhou team, Li Shuaixi has a strange position. He hardly communicates with other people, except for a few simple polite words. He stood loyally beside Chu Xuan and fought for Chu Xuan. Many times, senior people almost regard him as Chu Xuan's creation, even if Chu Xuan's creation quota has been used.
Chu Xuan's Chu Xuan rarely appears in social situations among senior people. She either serves as Chu Xuan's experimental assistant, or holds wives' meetings and drinks afternoon tea with the family members of the reincarnators. Jiang Yu has not said a word to her so far, but Xia has had some exchanges with her. When Li Shuaixi appeared in front of the seniors, what he did most was to use his body to demonstrate Chu Xuan's research results.
Poor person - but pity is only Jiang Yu's own feeling. After all, he had not unlocked the third-level gene lock. He didn't know what Li Shuaixi was thinking in his heart at this moment. is it good or bad. And compared to the original world line where he "blasted Central Continent in a rage" and eventually died in a cluster grenade explosion, his current fate may not be considered a bad path.
So Jiang Yu ignored him and opened the door of Chu Xuan's room. On the way here, he already knew why Chu Xuan asked him such a question.
Chu Xuan already knew a rough outline of everything he knew about the plot as a theater viewer. And in the original world line that I know, there is indeed no trace of Seth.
Therefore, Chu Xuan asked himself ‘Site’ for only one reason. That is, factors related to Seth have appeared in this worldview and are in a position that cannot be easily ignored. And Chu Xuan wants to know whether any of the film and television materials he knows after 2007 are compatible with the mummy world, or even inherit each other. And the content related to Seth?
"The answer is yes."
Jiang Yu walked into the room. Chu Xuan was carefully playing with the Eden artifact in his hand at the table, with golden luminous lines entwining around his fingertips. Weave one multi-spiral model after another.
"I watched a movie before, but I forgot the name. But it should be related to ancient Egypt, and it also contains elements of mummies." - I haven't forgotten the name, but it shouldn't appear in this place. Because it is the sequel to The Mummy that was released only in 18 years, it is The Mummy 4, and it can also be called the new Mummy.
It's just that not many people know about it, because it is even better than Tomb of the Dragon Emperor in terms of bad movies.
Chu Xuan raised his gaze and stared into Jiang Yu's eyes. "I am very interested."
"The story is very simple. Thousands of years ago, an ancient Egyptian princess called Ammanet coveted her father's throne. So she made a deal with the god Set, dedicating her body to obtain Set's Divine power. And her journey to usurp the throne was not successful, just like Immorton killed the pharaoh at the time, but was subdued by the pharaoh's guards. Ammanet became a filial daughter, but was still controlled by the pharaoh's guards, and then Mummified alive.”
"This is not logical." Chu Xuan pushed up his glasses. "In the royal succession law of ancient Egypt, the princess has the same inheritance rights as the prince. Even if she wants to succeed, she should deal with her brothers. Moreover, ancient Egypt follows the two-king system. Even if she succeeds in succeeding the pharaoh, she can only succeed to the throne. Choose one of Upper and Lower Egypt to rule. Then instead of marrying herself to Seth, she might as well find a way to get her father. This kind of thing often happened in the succession of the throne of ancient Egypt. Could it be that her era was still the first Before?"
"It's also possible that the screenwriter and director are too poor." Jiang Yu shrugged. "So I can't even remember the name... But if it also becomes a world of reincarnation, then the possibility of her being before the first pharaoh to marry a female queen is probably not small."
"And this means that the era of Princess Anmanet is earlier than the era of Immorton. As a relative of later generations, the high priest may know her deeds." Chu Xuan nodded, Signaling Jiang Yu to continue. "what's next?"
"What follows is some more cliché content... The sealed princess was buried in the tomb for many years. Until one day in the future she was awakened by an engineering team. She planned to rebuild her dynasty, but before that she had to complete it first The contract with Seth. And she happened to meet a male protagonist who completely fit the physique of a container. So what followed was a boring tug and adventure. In the end, the male protagonist stole the ritual dagger she carried with her at the last moment. When he killed himself, he took on Seth's divine power. Ammanet was buried, and the story came to a bad ending."
The content is indeed like this, so a bad movie is a bad movie.
After that, Chu Xuan asked in detail about many details about the movie. And the more questions he asked, the tighter his frown became.
There is no way, the director and screenwriter are not technically good at it. Most of the added details have no viewing significance. Of course, this is much better than The Scorpion King 2, 3, 4, and 5, which are also spin-offs of the Mummy series. At least it's just that the characters are brainless, the plot is confusing, and the logic is different. Instead of creating the medieval warlocks, Japanese samurai, and Viking pirates from the ancient Egyptian era. And the Slavs who can build super electromagnetic armor and mechanical fire-breathing dragons...such things are unknown.
By the way, in the fifth installment of The Scorpion King. The Black Book of the Dead can actually transform into a girl, becoming a beautiful girl and getting involved with Enkidu, a famous hero from the Mesopotamian cultural circle next door. It's simply...incomprehensible.
So, time passes.
Jiang Yu explained all Chu Xuan’s questions.
And as a price, his brain was tortured by patching up bad movies, and the garbage memories accumulated in it were churning. After the process was over, he asked Chu Xuan.
"Do you think we will encounter such a thing in this world?"
"There is a certain possibility." Chu Xuan did not hide it and gave him a straightforward response. "Under normal circumstances, the statue of Seth will not appear in the homes of ordinary residents. Because this is an evil god, worshiping it is not good for one's reputation. And if it is really effective, then the first person to be unlucky will be It is the worshiper himself.”
"We saw it at the point of descent. This may be a coincidence. We happened to choose the base of the Statue of Set in the museum. This may also be just a coincidence. But once the number of coincidences reaches three, it may become a reality—— This is the only point where we are likely to be overturned by the Indian team, so we need to respond and prepare."
"Is there anything I can do?" Jiang Yu asked.
"Not yet." Chu Xuan pushed up his glasses, which was regarded as an order to expel guests. "The speculation has not yet become a reality. Preparation also requires time and materials. Our current action plan does not need to change. Let's adjust the state. Immorton, as an undead priest controlled by Anubis, wants to borrow the power of Seth. It is difficult. And the evils are destined to devour each other - and whether it can awaken Ammanet or not, we are destined to end up with the Indian team in the Gravekeeper Headquarters or the City of the Dead. "
He has said enough.
Jiang Yu nodded, turned and left the room where Chu Xuan was.
When he closed the door, he saw Li Shuaixi still standing at the window sill, looking at the city that was about to be dyed by dusk. He wanted to say something to Li Shuaixi. But when the words came to his lips, he couldn't form any words.
But there is one more thing he can do - give Zhan Lan more than one hot drink. And there are still some reserves in his storage ring.
Before he left, he placed a cup of hot drink on the window sill.
No feedback, no response.
And when he left this hall and went to any place that was more suitable for him to stay. In his ears, a slight 'thank you' seemed to emerge.
Did Li Shuaixi speak? have no idea. But Li Shuaixi's figure didn't seem to change at all. Under normal circumstances, you would at least look away when saying thank you.
And Jiang Yu didn't pay attention to such insignificant details.
After that, a few more minutes passed.
Chu Xuan compiled some information. Towards the members of the Zhongzhou team who are busy or repairing. An announcement was made in the psychic network.
