Chapter 175: Invitation to Egyptian Archeology

Da Vinci looked at the big cat rushing out of the refrigerator with a confused look on his face. When he saw Tom walking out the door, leaving delicious food all over the floor, he seemed to be a little bit unable to recover.
He looked at the dishes on the floor and then looked inside the refrigerator.
After closing the refrigerator door, Da Vinci ordered as before: "Here comes a bowl of noodles."
There is no response from the refrigerator.
Da Vinci scratched his head, opened the refrigerator and took a look, and found that there were no more dishes.
After closing the refrigerator door, Da Vinci shouted again: "Chezi noodles!"
There is still no movement in the refrigerator.
Seeing this, Da Vinci shrugged his shoulders and said, "Okay, it seems to be broken, then I will continue to study it myself."
On the other side, an angry Tom Mu ran towards the center of District 13.
While running, it took time to look at its surroundings.
The Thirteenth District of this world is a little different from the Thirteenth District in the original animation that it remembers, but this is understandable, after all, the world and the location of the foundation have changed.
Actually, it didn't matter whether Tang Mu came to District 13 or not.
Because there are not many things here that interest Tom Mu.
​Whether it is an organization that specializes in international crimes in the original work.
Some time ago, I went to buy breakfast.At that time, Tang Mu didn't even pay much attention to the organization that Cao Dahua mentioned to investigate extraordinary events.
The main reason is that Xiaoyu is very interested in secret organizations like District 13. Tang Mu has nothing to do, so he comes over to accompany her.
But now, while running towards the central area and looking at the surrounding situation, Tom Mu made some unexpected discoveries.
Although I heard Cao Dahua say before, the main responsibility of District 13 in this world is to investigate various extraordinary events.
But Tang Mu didn't expect at first that this new organization, which had just been established, had already achieved a lot of results.
As Tom ran down the road, he saw a lot of supernatural creatures that were relatively familiar in the main world, or they could be called unidentified organisms, uma could also be used.
It only took a brief glance and found a lot of things that were familiar to it.
For example, Bigfoot, Yeti, Changbai Mountain Savage, Giant Squid, Mothman, Mongolian Death Worm and so on.
It's just that these things only roughly collect preliminary information.
Many of them are marked with [under investigation, unconfirmed].
Tom Mu guessed that these items to be investigated would eventually fall on the members of the action team.
Jackie Chan was brought to District 13 by Blake, most likely just to let Jackie Chan do relevant work.
Based on Jackie Chan's character, he probably wouldn't agree.
After all, these are just unidentified creatures, and they are not archaeological operations related to history.
If the archaeological operation is used as bait, Jackie Chan may still cooperate with them.
It's just that Jackie Chan doesn't want to cooperate, but Tang Mu feels that this is a good opportunity to improve Jackie Chan's reputation.
If you want Jackie Chan to become the world's number one explorer, the most basic thing is to conduct frequent in-depth exploration activities.
Having Tang Mu write a book to help with promotion is not enough, it just allows more people on earth to know Jackie Chan.
If you want to be recognized as the world's number one explorer, you must use more legendary adventures to boost Jackie Chan's prestige.
Whenever other people think of Jackie Chan, those adventure stories will naturally pop up in their minds.
At this time, Jackie Chan's title as the world's number one is considered stable.
It must be difficult for others to become the first explorer.
But Jackie Chan has Tom to help with publicity. As long as he takes risks and travels to a few more places, it is just a matter of time to become the number one in the world.
Before, Tang Mu was still worried about where to find a place for Jackie Chan to take risks.
Now that there is an international organization as big as District 13 doing intelligence work, things will be much easier.
This can be considered an unexpected surprise.
At least this trip was not in vain.
Watching the group of staff around me busy sorting out various materials, collecting information from all over the world, sorting and summarizing it, my mood, which was a little depressed just now, instantly improved a lot.
While traveling through District 13, Tang Mu had already seen Jackie Chan and Xiaoyu.

In the central area of ​​the Thirteenth District, there are computers arranged in a circle with outwards. There are many civilian personnel from the Thirteenth District working there.
Jackie Chan, Blake, and a middle-aged Chinese man were standing there saying something.
Xiaoyu, who abandoned Tang Mu midway and acted alone, hid not far away and eavesdropped on Jackie Chan's conversation.
After seeing Xiaoyu, Tang Mu was so angry that he put his hands on his hips.
It's so unjust. This guy ran away without saying a word, causing it to install high-tech machinery and the spatulas were fired with sparks.
It's so good for a cat, it almost died from exhaustion.
But now is not the time to settle accounts with Xiaoyu.
Tom also wanted to know the conversation between Blake and Jackie Chan.
For the side mission, Tom and Blake are on the same side in this matter.
Even if Jackie Chan really doesn't want to join District 13, he must be allowed to investigate those extraordinary events.
If Jackie Chan really resists investigating unconfirmed creatures, you can first try to find a few archeology-related things from the archives in District 13 and give them to him.
Anyway, no matter what, just have something to do.
How much money Tom can earn from side missions is closely related to the number and quality of adventures he has experienced.
Jackie Chan really wants to do it, but Tang Mu can't let him do it. He has to be pushed hard.
On the other side, Jackie Chan, who had clearly been arranged by a cat, was still silly and happy, talking to the person introduced by Blake.
"This is Director Hu Lianghu from our Thirteenth District. He is a particularly powerful naturalist and an expert we specially invited from Pingjing. He is responsible for intelligence screening and coordination."
"After our people collect information about extraordinary events from all over the world, they will send it to Director Hu and the others for preliminary screening and sorting."
"After confirming that the intelligence has a certain degree of authenticity, members of the action team will be dispatched to the local area to conduct on-site investigations. After the preliminary investigation is conducted, the authenticity of the intelligence can be judged."
"Once it is confirmed to be true, an in-depth investigation will be conducted, and then Director Hu and other experts from our 13th District will decide how to manage the extraordinary incident."
"Jackie Chan, we are very confident in your abilities. You have the strong operational capabilities of the action team members and the experts and scholars."Our profound knowledge, if you join us, we will be able to carry out our work better. "
While Blake introduced the basic work procedures of District 13 to Jackie Chan, he also continued to persuade Jackie Chan to join them.
Faced with Blake's renewed solicitation, Jackie Chan did not respond.
He doesn't really want to get involved in these incidents. This is undoubtedly a trouble for him.
But this did not prevent Jackie Chan and Director Hu from having a pleasant chat.
After all, Jackie Chan always thought that he was just an archaeologist.
As a scholar, it is natural to respect those who possess knowledge.
He respected experts and scholars like Director Hu who had real talents and practical knowledge.
It's one thing to join District 13 or not, but it's another thing to talk to knowledgeable people.
So although Jackie Chan didn't talk to Blake anymore, he had a pretty good chat with Director Hu.
"Director Hu, look at this. Is this the legendary water monkey?"
Although the Thirteenth District is an international organization, generally speaking, it is still dominated by China.
It's just that the organization in District 13 has special characteristics, so it placed its base in Xiangjiang, which is also a special place.
Even so, the talents in these thirteen districts really come from all over the world, and not all of them are from Xiangjiang.
For example, the comrade who is communicating with Director Hu Liang now is a native of Pingjing.
Hearing his subordinates talking that work matters were more important, Hu Liang stopped talking to Jackie Chan for the time being and put his head over to look at the computer screen. He then motioned to his colleague to turn a few more pages. After looking at it for a while, he was speechless.
"Don't think everything is water monkey, these are not water monkeys. The first one is monkey-shaped algae, and the second one is obviously a group of people wearing monkey clothes."
"The third one I know is that a group of people are taking advantage of the popularity to make money there. They are obviously digging landscape ponds, but they suddenly said that they are catching water monkeys. They have been in the local newspaper for several months, and they have not even caught a single monkey hair. arrive."
"The ones in the back are sea hares, flying monkeys, and three-toed sloths. I can't even recognize them. I'm so stupid that I don't know how to play with Lu Xiu. The Japanese stuff in the back is also fake. I only went to see it last year. It's just a piece of wood."
"This is a bullfrog, this is a bat cub, they are not water monkeys anyway."
Director Hu shook his head and sighed: "It's true that everything can become a water monkey."
"Okay. I know Director Hu, and I will dismiss all the information about the water monkey."
The colleague nodded and dismissed these documents.
While rejecting it, he couldn't help but sigh: "It's strange. Many unconfirmed life forms have been confirmed, so why are the sighting reports of water monkeys kept being rejected? Is it possible that there can be savages in the world, but there is no water? monkey?"
It seems that he is another poor young man being tortured by water monkeys.
It's strange to say.
Other more outrageous unconfirmed life forms have the possibility of real existence, but for such a simple water monkey, there is no clue to its real existence.
However, rumors about it are still widely spread, and some information can be collected from time to time.
Not only Director Hu and the others, but also the entire civilian staff in District 13 have a special affection for this water monkey.
No matter what these people in District 13 think.
After watching their work in full from the sidelines, Jackie Chan had a clearer understanding of District Thirteen.
If he hadn't been more interested in archeology, he might have joined District 13.
At least for now, the work in District 13 is quite interesting.
Blake on the side waited and observed for a long time. After seeing Jackie Chan's expression, he smiled and asked: "How about it? Why don't you join us and give it a try?"
Hearing this, Jackie Chan hesitated for a while, and finally shook his head and refused.
"I haven't seen you for six years, and you are still as stubborn as ever."
Blake really didn't expect that despite all the efforts he had made, Jackie Chan still didn't waver at all, which really made him feel helpless.
After thinking for a while, Black said to Director Hu Liang: "Didn't you collect some intelligence from Egypt recently? Show that to Jackie Chan."
Blake is in charge of operations and Director Hu is in charge of intelligence. The two sides are considered equal.
Blake didn't know much about intelligence information, so it was still up to Director Hu to handle it.
Blake only knew that Jackie Chan was more interested in archeology.
In this case, just use archeology-related tasks to cooperate with Jackie Chan.
In this case, he shouldn't refuse again, right?
Blake thinks so. This is also his last effort to retain Jackie Chan.
If this can't keep Jackie Chan as an old friend, then he has no other choice.
Upon hearing this, Director Hu responded and turned around to operate the computer behind him.
It didn't take long to pull out a document from inside.
After opening the file, Director Hu motioned to Jackie Chan to take a look.
Hearing Blake talk about Egypt, Jackie Chan's archaeological DNA started to move.
When Director Hu greeted him, he didn't hesitate at all. He leaned over and looked at the document and the photos in it carefully.
"This style of jewelry is really in the style of ancient Egypt..."
Jackie Chan touched his chin and carefully looked at several photos in the article.
As the document scrolled down, Jackie Chan suddenly saw that the jewelry with a large red gemstone was broken.
That oneThere was a big hole in the ruby.
From the angle of the photo, you can even see that the ruby ​​is actually hollow inside!
After reading the text content in the document carefully, Jackie Chan probably figured out the origin of this ruby ​​jewelry.
This was picked up by an American from the desert of Thebes, Egypt. The original plan was to send it to the UK for auction, but something unexpected happened just after it arrived in Cairo.
The originally good ruby ​​suddenly cracked open, and a beetle with a strong bite emerged from it.
Because he was bitten by a beetle, the American was very angry and beat the beetle to death.
I originally wanted to pick it up and inspect the body, but it was snatched away by a white cat kept in the hotel.
But relying on his previous memory, this man still drew the appearance of the beetle.
This year comes, and I can travel around Egypt alone again.
​​Must have some knowledge of Egypt.
It is precisely because he has a certain understanding that he wrote down his speculation at the end of this article.
Looking at the familiar yet unfamiliar word, Jackie Chan raised his eyebrows with interest: "Scarab?"
"Yes, it's the scarab. Although no photos of the scarab were taken, only hand-drawn drawings, this incident has been verified, and the person did not lie."
The chair under Director Hu's buttocks can be rotated.
He obviously guessed what Jackie Chan wanted to ask. Before Jackie Chan could ask the question, he turned his chair to face Jackie Chan and spoke.
Seeing that Jackie Chan was really interested, Black on the side said, "We in District 13 want to investigate the situation of the scarab and confirm whether the legendary scarab in ancient Egypt really exists. Do you want to come with us?"
To be honest, Jackie Chan kind of wants to go.
But compared to this, it seems to be more complicated to be involved with an official organization like District 13, and it is likely to affect normal life in the future.
After weighing the pros and cons, Jackie Chan felt a little regretful, but still shook his head.
Seeing this, Blake didn't know what to say, so he could only nod his head and stop insisting.
"In that case, let me send someone to take you back first."
Cooperation was not achieved, but the two parties were still old friends after all. Just such a thing did not affect the relationship between the two parties.
Watching Jackie Chan and the others finish their chat, they were ready to leave.
Tang Mu, who had been hiding for a long time and listened, ran to Xiaoyu and asked Xiaoyu to leave quietly together.
Now if I go out and be discovered by Jackie Chan, there is no meaning other than being scolded.
Tang Mu and Xiaoyu didn't want to be scolded by Jackie Chan either.
Anyway, I heard everything I wanted to hear. Since Jackie Chan and the others are leaving, Jackie Chan and Xiaoyu will naturally not stay anymore.
Before Jackie Chan and the others left, Tang Mu and Xiaoyu had already taken the stairs and left District 13.
After leaving District 13 and returning to the surface, the two of them didn't stop. They took a taxi and headed to the Wanchai Pier Antique Shop.
Returning to the antique shop, Tang Mu and Xiaoyu were just doing nothing, as if they had never sneaked into District 13.
The two little guys whistled, trying to show their harmlessness.
Hearing the movement at the door, the father who was sitting behind the counter, reading the newspaper and chewing garlic in his mouth, raised his head.
Seeing that it was Xiaoyu and Tang Mu who had returned, he looked behind them and found Jackie Chan. He asked curiously: "Oh, where is Aaron? Didn't you go to the airport to pick up Aaron?"
Xiaoyu pretended that nothing was wrong, and walked into the antique store with Tang Mu, picking up a feather duster to remove dust from the antique goods on the shelves nearby.
At the same time, he answered his father without looking back: "Uncle Long was picked up by an old friend of his, and he asked us to come back first."
"Aaron's friend? Which friend of his?"
Dad is a little confused. Although Jackie Chan knows a lot of people, he really doesn't have many true friends. Dad usually knows them too.
I don't remember anyone who was also in Xiangjiang.
Xiaoyu didn't reply. At this moment, the antique store door was pushed open again, and with the sound of the welcoming bell, Jackie Chan and Blake walked in from the outside.
Since we haven't seen each other for a long time, out of politeness, since we have already arrived in Xiangjiang, Blake must come to visit his father.
Seeing someone coming to the door, Dad was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly realized: "Ah, it turns out to be you."
"Dad, long time no see."
Blake forced out a smile and said hello to his father.
Jackie Chan first focused on Xiaoyu and Tang Mu.
Seeing Xiaoyu and Tang Mu cleaning the store, I immediately felt very relieved.
They actually went home obediently without causing any trouble. It was really touching.
I didn't know that Xiaoyu and the others had just come out of District 13. It was rare for Jackie Chan to see the naughty Tang Mu and the others finally obey his orders. He was almost moved to tears.
This is really not easy.

Having already returned home, Xiaoyu and Tang Mu were rarely obedient.
Jackie Chan turned to look at Blake beside him and apologized: "I'm sorry, Blake, it seems I can't help you, but I can recommend some Egyptian experts to you. I probably won't go there in the near future. Egypt."
He had just finished speaking. The counterThe dad over there seemed to remember something, took out a letter from under the counter, and said to Jackie Chan: "Oh, by the way, there is one more thing!"
"Aaron, someone sent you a letter through the World Archeology Journal. He said that he read your paper on ancient Egyptian language and was very interested in your knowledge. He wanted to invite you to Egypt."
Jackie Chan: "..."
Blake: "It seems like you really won't be going to Egypt in the near future, Jackie Chan."
This month's monthly ticket is 500
Add 2000 words
I owe 40,000 words of updates
Take a day off
Sorry, my body really can't bear it anymore.
The friends in the group know very well that for more than a month, the average sleep time has been only five hours a day.
They are all afraid of my sudden death.
Because my job is very busy, I have to work twelve hours.
If you don't have enough rest time, you won't be in a good writing state. Not only will the quality of your writing be reduced, but your writing speed will also be affected, further compressing your sleep time, which leads to a vicious cycle.
Now my whole head feels a little rusty, and my heart is palpitating.
After thinking about it for a long time, I decided to take a leave for the sake of my life.
By the way, let's sort out the subsequent plot ideas.
Sorry.
