Chapter 223 The Tomb Keeper Arrives!
Watching O'Connor distribute weapons as if preparing for war, Evelyn, a scholar, could no longer remain calm.
She thought O'Connor was just scaring her, but judging from the current situation, it was clearly not a joke, and she might really be facing a battle. But she was just a scholar; how could she fight?
"You'll protect me, right?"
Anxious, Evelyn could only look at Lin Yu and the others. She remembered O'Connor saying that these people were very powerful.
"Of course I will, I only need those two books... Don't worry, you're safe with us here."
Seeing the female lead like this, Zheng Zha smiled and assured her.
If possible, he doesn't want to have a conflict with the male and female protagonists.
"That's good. But it's a promise, if you get those two books, you must lend them to me for research."
Evelyn breathed a sigh of relief.
Although it's a pity she couldn't get those two books, it's nothing compared to her life. Besides, the other party was willing to lend them to her for research, which is enough.
"No problem... but miss, are you very familiar with those two books?"
Zheng Zha's heart stirred, and he suddenly asked Evelyn.
Based on Lin Yu's guess, Zheng Zha now attaches great importance to the scriptures and wants to learn more about them, so asking Evelyn is undoubtedly the best choice.
"Of course! The legendary Book of the Sun, also known as the Book of Resurrection, and the Book of the Dead, also known as the Black Bible of the Dead, contain spells from ancient Egyptian legends. They made me fascinated with Egypt since I was a child."
Upon hearing the mention of these two scriptures, Evelyn immediately became excited, forgetting her earlier unease.
Just as the two were discussing two scriptures, Xiao Honglu, who had been silent all along, suddenly spoke up: "What time is it?"
'
Everyone was stunned for a moment, but they immediately understood why Xiao Honglu had asked that question.
While they were still at the hotel yesterday, Zhan Lan had already given everyone a recap of the plot of The Mummy, and in the original story, the tomb guardians would attack them while they were on a boat.
Zheng Zha glanced at his watch and said, "It's already past ten o'clock, it should be about time."
Upon hearing this, Zhan Lan immediately closed her eyes and activated her mental scan.
Soon, Zhan Lan opened her eyes and said, "They're here, less than a kilometer away from us."
"Then prepare for battle."
Zheng Zha issued the order.
Zheng Zha didn't care much about the tomb keepers, after all, they were just ordinary people and wouldn't pose a threat to them.
Upon hearing the order, the others immediately drew their weapons and prepared to fight, leaving O'Connor and his companions completely bewildered.
They could understand what Zheng Zha and the others were saying, but they couldn't comprehend it.
It seems to be saying that the enemy is almost here, less than a kilometer away, but the question is, how do they know that?
Could there be an undercover agent on the enemy's side? But they hadn't seen Zheng Zha and the others contacting anyone.
"Are you sure there are enemies?"
Evelyn was somewhat skeptical.
"Of course we're sure. As for how we found it, just think of it as us having some kind of high-tech equipment that can detect enemies."
O
High-tech equipment? What kind of high-tech equipment can do this?
"Can..
'
"I see."
Evelyn wanted to ask about the high-tech equipment, but O'Connor interrupted her.
He might not believe others who said this, but if Zheng Zha and the others said it, he would naturally believe it, because he had personally witnessed that incredible short gun. He couldn't understand the technology behind it, so it wasn't impossible for them to have such high-tech equipment for detecting enemies.
Such unimaginable things were not something he should ask too many questions about, so he interrupted Evelyn.
Evelyn was a smart girl. When O'Connor interrupted her with questions, she realized that this matter might involve some secrets. So she didn't ask any more questions. Instead, she nervously took the pistol that O'Connor had given her and prepared to go to the deck with the others.
"Don't be so nervous, I'll take care of these tomb keepers."
Just as everyone was preparing to go up onto the deck to prepare for battle, Lin Yu suddenly spoke.
"Are you trying to subdue these tomb guardians?"
Xiao Honglu immediately asked.
"good."
Lin Yu glanced at Xiao Honglu and thought to himself that the child was indeed quick to react. Even Zheng Zha and Zhan Lan, who knew him better, probably didn't react immediately.
"This might not be an easy task, will it?"
Xiao Honglu had considered subduing the tomb guardians, since they were quite powerful. However, judging from the original story, it was not an easy task, because what they were going to do went against the tomb guardians' millennia-long commitment, which could not be accomplished by force alone.
"It's not easy, but it's not difficult either."
Lin Yu answered and led the way out of the room. The others followed, but Xiao Honglu kept his head down, wondering what method Lin Yu would use to subdue the tomb keeper.
Judging from the gravedigger's behavior in the movie, conventional coercion and bribery would probably be very slow to take effect.
"Are there really enemies?"
Looking at the pitch-black yet calm surroundings, Evelyn couldn't help but wonder.
O'Connor immediately shook his head at Evelyn, signaling her not to speak.
Seemingly sensing that something was amiss, Evelyn fell silent, and the deck became eerily quiet, with only the sound of the water flowing past the ship.
"They're almost there."
A few minutes later, Zhan Lan spoke.
Lin Yu nodded. His perception magic naturally detected the approaching men in black on a small boat. There were quite a few of them, numbering in the dozens.
So Lin Yu began to activate his flight magic, targeting these men in black.
The next second, these men in black were uncontrollably lifted into the air from the small boat. They were terrified by this bizarre situation and immediately let out screams of terror.
Hearing the terrified screams coming from all around, the people on deck were puzzled, wondering what was happening, but they soon found out.
Dozens of men in black were seen being lifted into the air as if by an unseen hand. Despite their struggles, they could not break free and were eventually thrown onto the deck.
The gravediggers, thrown onto the deck, quickly stood up and looked around warily, seemingly on guard against unseen evil spirits.
"Oh my God!"
Seeing this world-shattering scene, Evelyn's eyes widened, wondering if she was hallucinating.
Evelyn closed her eyes, rubbed them with her hands, and opened them again, but the man in black had not disappeared.
"Tell your leader that we have come by the will of God to destroy the evil Imhotep."
Lin Yu stepped forward, making it clear to the tomb keepers that their ordeal was not caused by encountering an evil spirit, but by this Asian man before them.
"Are you truly a messenger of God?"
"A gravedigger asked uncertainly."
Despite having just experienced strange events, they still found it hard to believe that a messenger of God would appear before them.
Lin Yu did not answer, but used the flight magic again to grab them and shake them in the air.
