Chapter 159·London, night
"First, since Horus is more than Horus and Seth is more than Seth. Then, we must be wary of other forces with mythological backgrounds outside of Egypt. At present, the one who is most likely to become our enemy is Naturally, he is a follower of Set.”
"And I found something interesting... In myths and legends, the oldest original source of vampires actually comes from Set. In the oldest period, they referred to the withered corpses crawling out of the sand dunes. As for the idea of descendants of Cain, it comes from a certain running game setting in the 1990s."
"Of course, the latter is not necessarily wrong in this world. Horus can be Yahweh, and Seth can be Cain. And as long as we make a little analysis based on the current world situation, we can know that the Protestant religion in England There is a serious suspicion in the place where it prevails. Coupled with the direction of modern popular culture, and what we have observed before, that the fleet of the Goblin Knights from the so-called Council of Avalon is covered in fog... then there is a certain degree of suspicion. possibility."
"The followers of Seth are in England now, in London."
"And what's very interesting is that O'Connor and Evelyn are also in London now - although O'Connor's fate of being in charge of the Spear of Judgment has been transferred. But the place where the Scorpion Emperor's bracelet is placed is now Still in the dream of Evelin's previous life. So, I guess, when Evelin follows the guidance of the dream and goes to the place where the bracelet is placed. Whether we are ready or not, the test will begin. And the local vampires in England , it will replace Immorton in the plot and become our obstacle."

——'Evelin, wake up. ’
Evelin opened her eyes silently and breathed lightly - she had a dream, and that dream was vague. Looking to the side, her husband O'Connor and their seven-year-old child Alex were both talking in their sleep. Opposite the bed, a gorgeous clock pointed to three o'clock in the morning.
Eight years ago, that group of weirdos used hundreds of kilograms of gold and jewelry to buy the Black Book of the Dead, and the wealth was enough for her and O'Connor to buy a gorgeous mansion in London and live a luxurious life until their death.
But Evelyn doesn't always want to live a leisurely life - she craves adventure and excitement.
"I seem to have had the same dream again." Evelin got up and gently pushed her husband - the latter was as motionless as a dead pig. And she had no choice but to give up.
——'Evelyn, go to the balcony. ’
She planned to change her clothes and go to the balcony to get some fresh air.
This is not the first time I have had this dream, it started a month ago. She always dreams about strange things. Vague, yet familiar. She dreamed that she was wearing gorgeous ancient clothes, carrying a treasure box, and lying in a huge tomb.
Dreams were always blurry, and every time, she wanted to carefully see the details around her. Every time, I can't successfully touch the end point, but I can get closer. Two days ago, she finally saw the pattern on the treasure chest, which seemed to be a scorpion. And the style comes from ancient Egypt.
Ancient Egypt, Scorpions - The direct target is Serket, the scorpion goddess. It is also one of the aspects of Isis, the goddess of life. She had investigated in this direction, but the results were always unsatisfactory.
So she had no choice but to find a way to send a telegram to the only person in Egypt who might know about it and had some friendship with her. The telegram was sent to the tombkeeper in the morning, and a reply was received in the afternoon.
[Destiny began to change thirty days and nights ago. As a person who no longer has a mission, you only need to wait for the good news. 】
Evelin didn't quite understand the strange words. But this at least shows that the tombkeeper did know what happened to him. After thinking of this, Evelin's thinking changed. No longer focusing on myths and legends, but searching in directions related to the treasures of the tomb, in short, tombkeepers, a group of people who deal with tombs.
She soon discovered the legend of the Scorpion King. Then he immediately noticed the bracelet that was the Scorpion King's treasure. Then, there’s the literary study of the Scorpion King’s treasure trove. And some preliminary results have been achieved.
Just a little more fieldwork and exploration…
--'hurry up. ’
The movement of changing clothes suddenly froze. Some kind of urgency bursting out from deep within her heart made her speed up subconsciously. The time for women to change clothes - even pajamas - which originally took at least ten minutes to complete, has been shortened to two minutes.
She walked out of the bedroom and walked through the vast hall. The moment she opened the balcony door, a very strange, yet unforgettable face appeared in front of her.
"Is it you...is it you!?" She recognized her, she knew her. The woman leaning on the balcony railing has an oriental name called Lan Zhan. And she was one of those weirdos eight years ago!
"It seems that your dream is not over yet." One of the weirdos looked at her and made a sound like a sigh. "I knew everything wouldn't be so easy. You are so unlucky to be involved in a war. But... maybe this is some kind of luck for you?"
"I don't know what you are talking about?" Evelin was confused when hearing the woman's words. But the key words inside were finally caught by her.
"Wait. You said dream? Do you mean my recent dream? What happened thirty days and nights ago?"
A series of questions came out of Evelin's mouth. The woman standing on the balcony did not respond.
Direct response.
"You'll find out soon." The woman shook her head. "And...after waking up, escape through the door on the right."
"What?" Evelin made a confused voice.
And the next moment, the woman's form dispersed like smoke. A dark shadow with a strong smell of blood came from the night sky outside the balcony, passed through the dissipating smoke, and knocked Evelin to the ground like a beast!
Then, open your bloody mouth!
"Evelyn!"
……………………
"Ah!" Evelin suddenly jumped up from the bed, her head almost hitting the top of the ceiling.
"Don't come over! Don't come over!" She let out a sharp and shrill scream unique to women. As she screamed, O'Connor and little Alex were also frightened and woke up.
"Eve! It's okay, it's okay." Her husband hugged her hard, and she looked directly at the wall clock in the room. The intertwining of the hour and minute hands points exactly to the three o'clock area.
Three o'clock, two minutes to go...three minutes! The sound of screaming will make the attacker reveal his form in advance.
"Run! Run! There is a monster coming to catch us!" Evelin shouted loudly, and she actually used more strength than her husband to drag this guy under the bed. She held her child in one hand and looked at the door and window on the right side of the bedroom. "It was eight years ago! The group of people from eight years ago told us that a monster came to the door!"
O'Connor was about to retort when he mentally organized the words so he could use them to deal with his overly neurotic partner.
But the next moment...
'boom--! ’ On the balcony outside the living room, there was the sound of the thick wooden door being smashed. And without hesitation, he grabbed an unloaded shotgun from the cabinet beside the bed.
"Let's go!" The action of loading the bullet was still neat even though he had not used force for many years.
And Evelin was already carrying Alex on her shoulders.
"That way!" She didn't say 'right', but pointed to the door on the right. And the moment she opened the door with Alex in her arms, the door on the other side of the bedroom was violently torn apart by something like sharp claws!
"Evelyn! O'Connor! Tell the secret of the Scorpion King!"
A sound came from behind the torn door.
Human voices were accompanied by bloody mist.
A figure is revealed behind the torn door.
The monster's shape resembles an upright, strong beast. It has no hair on its skin and its ears are as sharp as a goblin's.
There are many kinds of fairies, and not all fairies have graceful figures and petite bodies.
O'Connor's response was to pull the trigger of the shotgun.
'boom--! ’
Iron sand splashes. A cloud of blood mist burst out from the monster's body. However, this kind of mortal firearm can only make it stagger. It waved its huge sharp claws and clawed at O'Connor while roaring angrily.
——‘Go quickly. ’
a voice.
The monster's movements suddenly froze, and then black and red blood foam overflowed from its eye sockets. Invisible power came through the air, destroying its thinking and brain.
And there was another heavy object falling outside the balcony.
——‘There’s a lot more to come. ’
A familiar voice, a female voice. Lan Zhan's voice.
O'Connor didn't hesitate anymore. He pushed his wife and ran downstairs.
run.
There were sounds of collisions and fights in the bedroom, which soon turned into angry roars of being fooled. Something like an illusion delays the monsters that arrive later. The archaeological couple could only take their children and escape as quickly as possible.
——'Don't take anything with you, just rush to the street'
The voice was unhurried and the two people holding the child were out of breath.
And when O'Connor and others rushed out of the mansion, the windows upstairs made a shattering sound.
The windows were smashed, revealing traces of a huge shadow waving its wings. They looked like two humanoid bats that looked like living people... no, even bigger than living people. And they hit the ground not far away, waving their sharp claws as if to grab something in their hands.
They missed it, it was a phantom that only they could see.
Their eyes burst with red light. Their eyes suddenly locked on Evelin and the others.
Men subconsciously stand in front of their wives.
And the next moment——
'puff--! ’
Plasma shot out everywhere, splashing all over his face.
The monster turned into cookies and fell into pieces.
The huge dark gold giant from eight years ago appeared in front of the two of them. Step on the monster's remains.
"Long time no see, you two."
In the distance, the howling and hissing of monsters suddenly came.
London's nighttime security is... pretty good.
