Chapter 1555: The Legend of Honghou

"Look at the container above; mercury keeps dripping down. The dripping mercury gathers on the hanging coffin and falls to the ground, forming a pool of mercury. In Egypt, mercury is an entity capable of suppressing all evil. So, if I'm not mistaken, the person in the coffin must be a very malevolent being. Did she have a deal with the devil?"

"As expected of Qishu. Although you don't know the ins and outs of the matter, you've guessed almost everything correctly." Ye Er nodded slightly.

"That's right, the thing inside the coffin is very malevolent. She was not a pharaoh, but a queen from the era when the Theocracy ended, known as Honghou," Ye Er said.

"Honghou?" Qishu furrowed his brows. Due to his profession, he was extremely well-versed in the history and humanities of Huaxia.

However, he was very unfamiliar with some of the history of the Western World; he had never even heard of this queen.

"Yes, she was the queen of an Egyptian pharaoh. There is no record of her in history," Ye Er nodded slightly.

He looked up, staring at the coffin before him, and muttered, "The queen was the most sinister and cruel queen in Egyptian legends. It is said that she was born with extraordinary talents, bringing many disasters and causing many local deaths."

"So she was a person under a Curse, and she could communicate with the devil, reaching some kind of agreement with the devil by sacrificing her own body."

"Then the reason she was sealed away is because she reached some kind of agreement with the devil and touched upon certain interests of the Theocracy, which is why the queen was killed and then buried here, suppressed with such an array?" Qishu was slightly stunned, instantly guessing the reason.

"Hehe, you're right. In her era, the pharaoh was already old, and because she was young and beautiful, she was taken by the pharaoh as his wife and named queen. But the pharaoh would eventually leave her one day, and her existence threatened the inheritance rights of the pharaoh's many sons, so the two sides had a fierce conflict."

"And since the pharaoh had many sons, it was impossible for her to fight against so many people alone, so she used her talent, cut her own palm, and made a contract with the demons of the Dark World to obtain powerful strength," Ye Er said.

"So, did she succeed in the end?" Qishu was very interested in this story because he had never truly understood some of the mythological history of foreign countries.

Moreover, the matter before his eyes was not a myth, but a real, existing history, so he was even more interested.

"She succeeded, but she also didn't," Ye Er shook his head slightly and said, "Originally, the devil had already been summoned by her from Hell and had merged into one with her."

"But at this moment, it was exactly when she was at her weakest. The king's sons had long since sensed her plan, so they took the opportunity to strike and subdue her."

Ye Er looked at the coffin with a complex expression. He muttered, "The person I admire most is the queen. Although she was a woman, in her era, women were mostly just objects to be bullied and toyed with, and most of them were treated as commodities to be traded."

"Women of that era had no status, but she relied on her own ability to step by step reach the peak, and she was almost successful. This is a great person."

"Mr. Ye Er, you... you aren't planning to resurrect her, are you?" Qishu suddenly thought of a very serious question.

"Otherwise? I went through such great pains to find her; if it wasn't to resurrect her and obtain her power, what else would I be after?" Ye Er chuckled, revealing a mouthful of white teeth.

"But what are the consequences of doing this? Or rather, what benefit is there for you?" Qishu couldn't help but be shocked; he thought Ye Er was crazy.

Regardless of the layout or the plot of the story, the Honghou before them was definitely not someone to be trifled with.

And it was clear that when they suppressed her, the people of Egypt had exhausted all means to create such a massive underground palace.

If she were released now, what would be the consequences? Based on Qishu's experience, if you release someone like this, the first thing she would do is kill you.

"What consequences could there be? Her power will be used by me, and this world will be reshuffled because of it. From now on, only one person in this world will have the final say, and that is me, General Ye'er," Ye Er looked up and said proudly.

"You want to possess her power?" Qishu's expression was shocked. Sure enough, this grandson was plotting exactly that.

"Otherwise? Do you think this path is feasible?" Ye Er turned back to look at Qishu.

"General Ye'er, you should think this over carefully," Qishu steadied himself and said, "Look, she has the power of the Twelve Warriors suppressing her, and for hundreds of years, mercury has been suppressing her. This shows that her evil nature is extremely heavy."

"And after she died, she wasn't buried in a pyramid but was brought to this desolate little island. Do you think she is someone easy to deal with?"

"Haha, I have guns and cannons, and I have killed countless people. Even ghosts and gods have to back down when they see me," Ye Er said very confidently, "So, I will definitely be able to subdue this Honghou before me."

"General Ye'er, I suggest you think about it properly. Once this kind of thing is released, it is the power of darkness. Our guns cannot deal with her," Qishu advised, "If you don't have absolute certainty to subdue her and make her work for you, I suggest you wait a while longer."

"Wait? How much longer can I wait?" Ye Er was furious. He said bitterly, "You don't know what a mess it is inside the Red Skull Society right now. I have been squeezed out by others. If I wait any longer, I will be kicked out, and everything I possess will cease to exist."

"So," Ye Er pointed at the hanging coffin, "I can only become stronger in my own way to make the high-level members of the Red Skull Society shut up. If they dare not shut up, I will kill them all."

"Mr. Ye Er... but..." Qishu still wanted to say something, but a cold gun was already pointed at his head.

Qishu was startled; he hurriedly raised his hands and then took a few steps back.

"I don't like people like you; you're too long-winded," Ye Er said with some impatience, "I said, you go execute it, it's that simple, okay?"

"Okay, okay, I'll listen to you, everything will be as you say." Qishu dared not speak anymore. Now his Life was held in Ye Er's hands. This guy had gone crazy, and he could kill at any moment.

"Come here, take this thing down and open it. I want to see what kind of person the queen inside really is," Ye Er stopped paying attention to Qishu and said excitedly.
