Chapter 357
Twenty minutes later, an English lady hurried over from a cafe on the corner of the street.
The person who came was the heroine of “The Mummy 1”, Jonathan’s sister Evelyn.
From Li Xu’s point of view, this British lady is very beautiful!
The exquisite facial features are paired with a pair of gray-green pupils, and there is a kind of lazy British classical style between the eyes.
“sorry sir!”
After she came in, she gave her worried brother a hard look, then lifted her skirt, gave a ladylike salute to Li Xu, and said apologetically, “Jonathan is my brother, if he offends you, I will replace you.” He apologizes to you, and in addition, if you have property damage, I will be responsible for compensation.”
“Eve…” When he heard that he was going to lose money, Jonathan, who regarded money as his life, became anxious, “I didn’t succeed, so I don’t have to pay money, right?”
“Shut up, you idiot, how many times have I told you, don’t steal, don’t steal…”
Evelyn stared beautifully.
“But I just like stealing things. This is my hobby.”
Jonathan muttered unconvinced.
“you……”
Evelyn glared at him angrily.
“Okay, sister, don’t be angry.”
Jonathan also knew that he was in the wrong, so after an embarrassed smile, he took out an exquisite and simple copper box from his arms, and said like offering a treasure: “Look, Eve, I won this from a bet in a bar, I guess You’re sure to like it.”
The copper box is hexagonal in shape, with some ancient Egyptian sacrificial symbols engraved on it, which looks mysterious and unusual.
After taking a look, Evelyn’s eyes lit up, “Okay, this time I forgive you, this seems to be a really good thing…”
With that said, she reached out to grab it.
But a hand suddenly stretched out from the side, grabbing the copper box before she did.
The owner of this hand is Li Xu.
While playing with the copper box in his hand, he said with a smile, “I’ve decided, you can take this copper box as compensation.”
“No!” ×2
Evelyn and Jonathan said in unison.
It seemed that they didn’t expect such a tacit understanding between each other. The siblings looked at each other, and finally Evelyn said, “Sir, this copper box is a gift from my brother. I like it very much. I can’t give it to you. If you want to If you want compensation, I canto pay you two hundred pounds. ”
“But I just like this copper box.”
Li Xu shrugged, groped for a while on the copper box, and pressed the hidden mechanism on it.
Click!
Suddenly, the copper box spread apart like a hexagram, revealing an ancient map inside.
“Sure enough!”
Li Xu narrowed his eyes slightly.
In the original plot of “The Mummy”, this copper box is a very crucial key.
The sarcophagus that sealed the high priest Imerton, the Sun Golden Book and the Undead Black Book depended on it to open.
Moreover, there is a map marking the location of Hamna Tower hidden in the copper box.
“this is……”
Seeing an ancient map hidden in the copper box, Evelyn was even more excited than Li Xu. She looked back at her brother and said excitedly, “Jonathan, we found a treasure map.”
“Correct me, I found a treasure map.”
Li Xu raised his eyebrows and closed the copper box again.
“But this box is ours.”
Evelyn said in disbelief.
“Exactly!!” Jonathan nodded vigorously.
“Then it’s mine now.”
Li Xu took out a gold bar from the system space and threw it to Jonathan.
“Oh…”
Seeing the gold, Jonathan’s attitude immediately changed. He kissed the gold bar like a treasure, and said to Evelyn, “Sister, why don’t you give this to him. It’s just a treasure map anyway. Who knows if there is any treasure.”
“no!”
Evelyn stubbornly shook her head and grabbed the gold bar in Jonathan’s hand.
“No!”
Jonathan had a look of reluctance, and held his hands tightly.
“bring here!”
Evelyn pulled the gold bar vigorously, and returned it to Li Xu without hesitation, “Sir, we don’t want gold, please return the copper box to us.”
“If you don’t want it, I want it.” Jonathan pressed in a low voice.
Evelyn ignored her brother, and just looked at Li Xu with a straight face.
“Ok.”
Li Xu sighed, “In this case, I can only…”
While speaking, Li Xu walked towards Evelyn with the copper box.
Evelyn looked forward.
But after approaching, Li Xu showed a wicked smile on his face.
He leaned over and took a bite of Evelyn’s lip gloss, and winked at Evelyn who was in a daze, “Then I can only run away first, goodbye beautiful lady, remember, my name is Li Xu… …Ha ha.”
Li Xu smiled and turned to go out, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
“what!!!”
Evelyn was stunned for a long time before she came back to her senses. She bit her lip and said, “Jonathan, what about the others?”
“gone.”
Jonathan lowered his head and chuckled.
“stop laughing!”
Evelyn lifted the satchel and slapped the guy hard, and said angrily, “Why didn’t you stop him, he took advantage of your sister.”
Jonathan smiled awkwardly, “If I can beat him, how about calling you to redeem him?”
Evelyn: “…”
“I do not care.”
Evelyn snorted angrily, “Find him for me.”
Jonathan opened his eyes in surprise, showing a lack of gossip smile, “Eve, no, don’t you look at the gentleman … Well, I didn’t expect it, sister, you are actually opening a trick, older, old, old Mom and Dad will be moved to tears in heaven.”
“It’s not because of this!”
Evelyn stomped on Jonathan angrily, “I saw it just now, the copper box has Hamnata’s mark on it, you know, finding Hamnata has been my childhood dream.”
“Hamna Tower?”
Jonathan’s eyes suddenly brightened, “Is it the legendary city of the undead, the one where a lot of gold is buried?”
Evelyn nodded sullenly.
“Sister, don’t worry, leave this matter to me.”
As soon as he thought of the treasure in Hamna Tower, Jonathan immediately became motivated. He patted his chest and said, “I, Jonathan, have been working for nothing for so many years. I know the whole city of Cairo like the back of my hand. Give me half a day, and I will definitely be able to find that Li Xun.”
“It’s Li Xu.” Evelyn corrected.
“Alright, Li Xu!”
Jonathan nodded, and said confidently: “Sister, don’t worry, there are very few Asians in Cairo, and they are Asians with outstanding looks and temperament, and are rich.”
“Based on my many years of experience, he probably lives in the Carlton Hotel. It is the best hotel in Cairo, and the waiters are all beautiful. Rich people like to live there.”
