Chapter 151 ·Target, Subahara
Jiang Yu felt as if she had forgotten something.
He felt as if he had just spoken to someone and asked something. But when I think about it again, I don’t remember exactly what I did. It was like going back to high school, in a class with a particularly annoying and unimportant teacher. Obviously the eyes are seeing, the ears are listening, and the head is thinking. But what exactly he did is a mystery.
Is it something important?
It doesn't seem to be very important - but it feels like we can arrange some more difficult sniper missions for Zero Point in the future. After all, his survivability has been greatly improved...
——Who is here at zero o'clock?
——Oh...I remembered, he was the sniper in the team. A former mercenary, the most manly man in Az's works... I was thinking that I don't seem to have Alzheimer's disease, how could I forget this?
Jiang Yu shook her head and shook out some of the messy thoughts in her head. He wanted to call for a full-body repair on the spot, but he felt that it seemed a bit stupid to do so. So we postponed it for now.
Meetings are more important.
"...Legend of Gods and Ghosts, we must go back." He didn't know whether this was connected with his last sentence. But seeing that the other people's expressions didn't change, I guess there wasn't much of a problem. "The branch plot of the second part, or even the main plot. We have a high probability of triggering it, as long as the timing is correct. And even if we can't, we must also arrange some exercise time to familiarize ourselves with our enhancements."
"Indeed." Zheng Zha agreed. "You do need to be familiar with the deployment of energy. You can't just go to the front line to fight without being able to use your basic skills... So how long will it take for us to redeem this time? One month? Three months? Or half a year? I feel that half a year is a bit too much. .”
"One quarter should be enough." Zhan Lan held his chin and said lazily. "If we feel that there is not enough time, we can go back again. On the contrary, we need to consider the location of return... I remember when we left, those guys from the Knights, the Inquisition and the like were approaching Egypt. Right. If you go back, won't you run into them?"
"Just change your appearance." Jiang Yu shrugged. "We have all been strengthened, and the full-body repair will also wash away all traces of our infection in that world. We only need to cover it up a little when we go back... Big deal, we don't go back to North Africa directly, we first find a quiet place to relax Just practice."
He waved the Spear of Judgment that he had put away.
"Absolutely not, the local supernatural forces in Western Europe can still track us through these ancient Egyptian artifacts."
That is of course impossible. The only ones who knew that the reincarnations had two scriptures and the Spear of Judgment were the gravekeepers and the heroes and heroines. And they have no objection to the reincarnations leaving with these artifacts. Before leaving, the gravekeeper Eddie also said a prophecy-like farewell to the reincarnations.
‘You can have these artifacts. Because you have proven yourselves. God Horus, God Anubis, and Seth have all given their tacit approval to you holding them. How to use it is your own business. ’
'But, my friends, you must remember... every treasure has a destined cause and mission. When you hold these treasures in your hands. You have also accepted the fate that the person holding the treasure should bear. One day, the test of fate will come to you, and when that time comes, the only thing you can't do is escape. ’
Eddie's parting look was meaningful.
Well, in the eyes of the reincarnators, it's just a mystery. Because reincarnations know the plot of Gods and Ghosts II and even The Scorpion King. But this also means that the local forces in Egypt will not stop the actions of the reincarnations. Not to mention revealing the information about the reincarnators.
"Indeed, they are not even aware of our existence. And Evelin and others are protected by the tombkeepers..." Zhan Lan nodded, then frowned again. "But the tombkeeper... doesn't seem very strong. Moreover, Egypt is also garrisoned by British and French troops..."
"That's because the tomb keeper is loyal to the Pharaoh, Horus." Chu Xuan pushed up his glasses. "Cleopatra, the last pharaoh of Egypt, died two thousand years ago. But the gods of Egypt still exist. So no matter how Egypt is beaten by other countries, they will not do anything superfluous other than fulfilling their mission. The two plots of The Mummy are mainly about the internal affairs of the Egyptian gods."
The tombkeepers suppressed Immorton because Imogen committed the grave crime of murdering the Pharaoh.
Immorton will be resurrected from the dead and gain powerful mana. This is the curse set by Anubis, and those who are eaten by insects will bear the curse.
Between the two plots, look at the essence. Basically the problem between Horus and Anubis. Even if there is another Seth. That is still an internal matter between the Nine Pillars. And in this case, even if the gravekeeper has any great trump cards in his hand, they are completely unable to be used in this situation. After all, they are God's living servants, and even if the trump card exists... it is probably God's power.
How can a servant start a war on behalf of his master?
"So the tombkeeper is actually stronger than he appears." Jiang Yu nodded. "Hamna Tower is the resting place of the pharaohs. Once outsiders get involved, they will inevitably be counterattacked. Then, the supernatural forces in Western Europe may not stay in Egypt for a long time."
The second half of the sentence is speculation, while the first half is based on evidence. As a prophet, Jiang Yu knew that this group of tombkeepers had been added with the setting of "having the power of Mei Jiede" in the animation. There are many standard features for super warriors such as energy shock, high-speed movement, and physical increase. If you throw it next door to Marvel, you can probably eat the less powerful Captain America without dipping it in the sauce.
It's outrageous, but it doesn't stop them from being killed by Anubis' army of kobolds in The Mummy 2.
"A reasonable inference." Chu Xuan nodded slightly. "After all, Legend of Gods and Ghosts is a setting with the theme of Egyptian legends. In addition, in the second part, Immorton is resurrected and wreaked havoc in the city of London. The probability that the gods outside Egypt are more powerful is low. And even if it's not, there are rules among the gods."
"But the second part no longer exists." Zhan Lan objected. "The main mission given to us by the Lord God is to annihilate Immorton. This means that the second part does not need it at all...could it be because in the possibility that we did not come, Imogen would have died directly in London. inside?"
"There is a possibility." Chu Xuan turned his gaze away. "But the plot prop of the Spear of Judgment still exists and can be activated. And in the original plot of the second part, there is indeed no plot link that cannot be advanced without Immorton - your inference adds unfounded elements, the likelihood of it becoming a reality is lower.”
"And, rather than thinking about that, I think the other thing will have a bigger impact."
Chu Xuan raised his hand and placed the wooden cards that the Lord God distributed for free when the plot started on the table.
"Oriental Strangers Association." Chu Xuan tapped his fingers on the table. "This is a boost, but it is also a restriction. The Tomb Keeper takes the initiative to ask for help from the Foreigners Association, which means that the two parties are at least equal and have an ally-like relationship. And this also means that we are inherently in a camp hostile to the Western supernatural forces. .After all, in the world view of Legend of Gods and Ghosts, the time is still in the 1920s of the twentieth century."
"You mean, if we want to gain something, then it is actually more appropriate to go to the East?" Zhan Lan caught the key word.
"It's not impossible." Chu Xuan nodded.
That's right, the Dragon Emperor's tomb is in Zhongzhou. Moreover, there is a treasury of the saint's legacy housed there.
but……
——The twentieth century, Zhongzhou in the 1920s...
Some thoughts came to Jiang Yu's mind. While thinking a little absentmindedly, for some reason, he seemed to see a crab passing by arrogantly with its pliers raised.
——Let’s have crabs for dinner tonight. The kind in the river.
"I don't recommend going to Central Continent at this time." Jiang Yu said and shook his head. "The situation in Central Continent at this point in time... is too complicated. Our joining may trigger a new war. Moreover, I have some ideas about the resurrection altar in Hamnatari. Just like Zhan Lan said before, The Golden Sun Sutra may have some importance. I think it may have some connection with the altar. And... when we were sent back, many years had passed. Just like the Alien time."
"Will the Lord God place the reincarnators at a time when there are plot benefits..." Zhan Lan thought for a moment. "Indeed, this is a fact that has been verified. However, this time is different from the last time. Before exploring the benefits of the plot, we still have to become familiar with the newly acquired power."
"Africa is a big place." Zheng Zha suddenly interrupted at this time. "Whether it's ancient Egypt or modern Egypt, they only cover the Nile River Basin. So, wouldn't we be able to solve this problem by going to a place farther away, but not too far away? For example, Sub-Sahara? South Africa. ? Or... Madagascar?"
The reincarnators looked at each other.
"I want to go ride an elephant in the African savannah!" Cheng Xiao raised his hand.
"Prairie... That is indeed a good and open place." Zhan Lan also nodded. "I was originally going to recommend Australia...but the prairie is also good."
"Then it's the prairie." Jiang Yu decided. "It is unlikely that the Lord God will skip the Year of the Scorpion and prevent us from defeating the Scorpion King. Between 1920 and 1930, there were basically only native tribes and wild beasts on the African savannah, and the Western European colonies were basically invisible. Go to these places. It is indeed a very good leisure and training ground for us."
"This time we will take a hundred days of rest first. Everyone go and prepare. One hour... Well, Cheng Xiao, do you plan to replace the natal Gu in the main god space? How long will it take?"
"That kind of thing can be done in half an hour." Cheng Xiao waved his hand, pointed his thumb at himself, and showed a confident smile at the corner of his mouth. "I'm very powerful."
"Then just two hours." Jiang Yu stood up and made a decision. "We'll leave in two hours."
