Chapter 185

"shatayaykuraeck."

The ancient incantation sounded slowly, and the dust permeating the air was choking. Anck-su-namun, no, it was Imhotep, looked at the mummy climbing up from the ground and gave his order.

"Stop them and buy me time."

In the empty secret room, there was only a stone statue with a human body and a sun head.

"The Book of Amun-Ra is hidden in here?" Lie Hu circled around the Sun God statue, looking left and right, but didn't see what the Book of Amun-Ra was, "Did you remember wrong?"

"It shouldn't be wrong. According to the records, the Book of Amun-Ra should be here."

Ye Nan swung his fist and broke the stone block under the Sun God statue with one punch. A book wrapped in dusty black cloth fell out from inside.

"It's really here."

Lie Hu picked up the Book of Amun-Ra and tore off the black cloth outside, "But this thing is locked by someone. Should we break it violently?"

"Do you want to destroy this book?" Ye Nan glanced at Lie Hu, "Let's go, let's find Imhotep. He should have the key in his hand."

Just as Ye Nan's words fell, a small hole suddenly appeared on the ground, and a mummy wrapped in gray cloth climbed out from under the ground.

"This is a mummy?" Lie Hu was somewhat uncertain. It wasn't that he hadn't seen mummies, but he had never seen an active mummy. As for Imhotep, he could only be considered an active skeleton.

"It seems Imhotep has started the ceremony." Ye Nan sneered, "But he thinks this kind of thing can stop me? He underestimates me too much."

The mummy slowly climbed up from the ground and moved to Ye Nan's eyes with his slow pace.

To be honest, the mummy's movement speed was not slow, faster than the walking speed of a normal person. But compared to Ye Nan, it was really a bit of a small witch meeting a big witch.

"Leave it to me." Lie Hu licked his lips excitedly, "In the battle just now, I couldn't help you with anything, so leave these small soldiers and miscellaneous fish to me."

Saying that, Lie Hu charged up and knocked down a mummy with one punch.

"Fine, let's fight quickly and decide quickly. I'll wait for you inside." Hearing this, Ye Nan nodded immediately, slammed a punch on the wall, smashed the wall open, and drilled in.

"You stupid mummies, die again." Lie Hu spread his fists, revealing sharp fingernails.

He pounced like a fierce tiger, his two sharp claws piercing the chest of a mummy, and then tore it fiercely from the middle to the two ends.

Imhotep, who was holding the ceremony, heard a loud noise from above and immediately accelerated the speed of the ceremony. He saw his body lying slowly on the stone platform, and tangible fluctuations came out from his body.

"Anck-su-namun, I can only resurrect you in this way. But as long as there is an opportunity, we will resurrect completely."

Imhotep's brain waves came out of Anck-su-namun's body and descended onto a mummy, using the mummy as his temporary body.

"Start, Anck-su-namun, we resurrect, with the body of the undead, escape, wait for the opportunity, and resurrect again."

"You probably have no hope." Ye Nan walked out from the corner, "I didn't expect you to still be holding the ceremony here. Is it because your lover Anck-su-namun's brain waves are stored under the liquid?"

Ye Nan's gaze noticed the pool under the stone platform. No, to be precise, it was the liquid in the pool. As early as his first encounter with Imhotep, he had discovered that the liquid in the pool had a large number of brain wave reactions...

"What brain waves, I don't know." Imhotep's gaze was annoyed, obviously furious. His first ceremony was interrupted by Ye Nan, thereby losing his body. The second ceremony was encountered by Ye Nan again. Ye Nan seemed to be his nemesis.

"Uh! Also, brain wave is a term that only appeared in modern times. Of course you can't understand it. But if you explain brain waves with soul, you should understand." Ye Nan patted his forehead. He forgot that Imhotep was an antique-level character, and it was normal not to understand the term brain wave.

"The pool below is something that stores souls. It sounds incredible, but since there is Aztec substance in this world that has never appeared on Earth, then it is normal for another alien substance to appear."

"I guess your ancient Egyptian Pharaohs discovered a liquid, a liquid that can store souls, so you built it into a pool to provide a carrier for your own resurrection. If I'm not mistaken, Anck-su-namun's soul is stored in it along with the souls of many Pharaohs."

"Tsk tsk, the Pharaoh is really infatuated with Anck-su-namun. Even though Anck-su-namun betrayed him and killed him, he still hopes to resurrect with Anck-su-namun at some time in the future."

Ye Nan clicked his tongue in wonder. Only successive Pharaohs were qualified for such good things. But since Anck-su-namun's soul was here, it proved that this was the Pharaoh's order.

"Nonsense, I put Anck-su-namun's soul in to prepare for her resurrection." Imhotep was trembling with anger by Ye Nan, and the mummy's body constantly made creaking sounds.

He loved Anck-su-namun too much. For Anck-su-namun, he was willing to die. He stole Anck-su-namun's body from the tomb and used the mysterious power of the pool to store Anck-su-namun's soul. And now, his actions were misunderstood, and he had to explain clearly.

"Whether it is or not has nothing to do with me." Ye Nan made an indifferent expression, "The reason I said so much to you is entirely to buy time for my companion to come over."

"What did you say?" Hearing this, Imhotep's eyes immediately shot out flames of anger.

"shatayaykuraeck."

Imhotep recited the incantation, and several mummies climbed up from the ground in response.

Seeing Imhotep do this, Ye Nan couldn't help but shake his head, "These things are about the same as ordinary people to me, with no threat at all."

"But since you summoned them, I will help you clean them up, so as not to waste your strength."

Ye Nan's mouth was unforgiving, constantly striking at Imhotep's confidence. For him, any method that could strike the opponent's combat effectiveness would be used, and striking the enemy's confidence was one of the most common and best methods.

Ye Nan's hands swung out, immediately turning into a pair of claws. Five sharp fingernails about one centimeter long scratched across the mummy's body fiercely.

With a rip, the mummy's upper body separated from the lower body and fell to the ground. It was just that these mummies were also tenacious. Even if they fell to the ground, they were unwilling to die, still struggling and pouncing toward Ye Nan.

Seeing the mummies defeated so quickly, Imhotep didn't care about them and began to recite incantations in his mouth to resurrect Anck-su-namun. As long as Anck-su-namun was resurrected, he would take Anck-su-namun away and be with her forever.

"The mummies you summoned are really disgusting, but apart from being disgusting, they have no other effect." Ye Nan used words to strike Imhotep fiercely.

"I really don't know what's the use of you summoning your Anck-su-namun. Could it be to let her meet you in this way?"...

Hearing this, the incantation Imhotep was reciting paused, but he still didn't stop.

"Two mummies, loving each other. If it were broadcast on TV, it would definitely cause a sensation. People of the world would be moved by you two. Tsk tsk, do you really think it's like this? You two resurrect in the way of the undead. After going out, the whole world will be your enemy."

"And do you think that after resurrection, Anck-su-namun, who resurrected as an undead, is really your Anck-su-namun? Think about it, why do you fall in love with Anck-su-namun? Is it because of Anck-su-namun's beauty, or because of something else? If Anck-su-namun loses her appearance and becomes a mummy, will you still love her forever?"

"There is no love that can withstand the test of time. If love wants to be eternal, it needs other things to assist. Are you willing to face the mummy-like Anck-su-namun forever and ignore the colorful world outside?"

"If you really don't care about Anck-su-namun's appearance, would you fall in love with Anck-su-namun, and not fall in love with other ugly women?"

Ye Nan approached Imhotep step by step. His goal was the key in Imhotep's body, the key to open the Book of Amun-Ra.

Imhotep's confidence was shaken by Ye Nan's words. He couldn't help but think about whether he loved Anck-su-namun as a person or her appearance, and whether their love could withstand the test of time.

Taking advantage of Imhotep's thinking, Ye Nan took the key from Imhotep's body, feeling slightly triumphant, "Love is a very complex thing. If you love, you love; if you don't love, you don't love. Perhaps appearance occupies a certain factor, but appearance is definitely not the deciding factor. Otherwise, there would be no love in this world."

"You dare to deceive me." Imhotep pounced toward Ye Nan.

"In battle, deception is also a means." Ye Nan picked up the key and called out, "Come out, Lie Hu, I know you are here."

When he said "let my companion come over," he had already perceived Lie Hu's existence. It was just that Lie Hu had been hiding in the dark and refused to show his face, and he hadn't summoned him over. But now, he was not prepared to let Lie Hu continue to hide.

"You actually discovered this." Lie Hu walked out, his expression somewhat embarrassed. He and Ye Nan were partners, but he, this partner, had abandoned Ye Nan and hid alone. Most importantly, he was discovered by Ye Nan, and he didn't know how to face Ye Nan.

"I just now..."

"Don't explain to me. Some things, you and I both know, there is no need to explain anything for this."

They were just in a cooperative relationship, and he couldn't demand Lie Hu to fight to the death for him.

Just as the two were talking, Imhotep also realized that his doomsday was coming. He immediately opened the Book of the Dead and recited the incantation.
