Chapter 114 New Mummy

Chapter 114 · New Mummy

Set.

One of the most powerful gods in ancient Egyptian mythology. He controls several extremely powerful fields such as power, earth, desert, storm, foreign land, etc. And in the entire Egyptian mythology system, there are few who are stronger than him.

Or, in theory, he is the strongest one - because in the Egyptian mythology system, almost every main god has served as the supreme god in his own worship system. And in the nine-column god system centered on the sun god Ra, which is generally recognized by later generations, it was Set who defeated the most powerful and terrifying serpent of destruction, Apophis, who was determined to devour Ra.

He is a god who is both good and evil. In the early days of mythology, he mostly appeared in the form of a guardian. In the later period of mythology, with the legend of Set's murder of Osiris, he was gradually portrayed as the embodiment of the power of darkness, fighting with Horus, who represents light.

He is very powerful - extremely powerful, and there is no weakness. Because even in the myth, Horus, who defeated him, used the power of Osiris, not any props or conspiracy. Compared with Set, Anubis, who played an important role in the first two plots of The Mummy, is just like a fragile puppy.

After all, Anubis is just the god of death, just a subordinate of Osiris, the god of the underworld. Even in some classics, he is the offspring of Set and Nephthys, the queen of the underworld.

So, does Set exist in the worldview of The Mummy?

The answer is yes.

…………………………

Jiang Yu did not talk to Chu Xuan through Zhan Lan. After saying goodbye to Zhan Lan, he went to the room where Chu Xuan was - he saw Li Shuaxi standing in the hall outside the door, looking at the depths of the ruined city. He didn't know what Li Shuaxi was thinking, and Li Shuaxi didn't pay attention to him, just staring into the distance in a trance.

In the Zhongzhou team, Li Shuaxi has a strange position. He hardly communicates with other people, and there are only a few simple polite words. He stood by Chu Xuan loyally and fought for Chu Xuan. Many times, the seniors almost regarded him as Chu Xuan's creation, even though Chu Xuan's creation quota had been used.

Chu Xuan's Chu Xuan rarely appeared in the social occasions of the seniors. She either served as Chu Xuan's experimental assistant, or held wives' meetings and had afternoon tea with the families of the reincarnations. Jiang Yu has never said a word to her, but Xia has had some exchanges with her. When Li Shuaxi appeared in front of the seniors, the most he did was to use his body to show Chu Xuan's research results.

Poor man - but pity is only Jiang Yu's own feeling. After all, he did not unlock the third-order gene lock, and he didn't know what Li Shuaxi was thinking in his heart at this moment. Is it happy or sad. And compared with the result of "blasting Zhongzhou in anger" in the original world line, and finally died in the explosion of cluster grenades, the current fate may not be a bad road.

So Jiang Yu skipped him and opened the door of Chu Xuan's room. On his way here, he already knew why Chu Xuan asked him such a question.

Chu Xuan already knew a rough idea of ​​all the plots that he knew as a viewer. And in the original world line that he knew, there was indeed no trace of Set.

Therefore, Chu Xuan asked himself "Seth" for only one reason. That is, there are factors about Set in this world view and it is in a position that cannot be easily ignored. And Chu Xuan wanted to know, in the film and television materials that he knew after 2007, whether there is any content that is compatible with the mummy world, or even inherits each other. And is related to Set?

"The answer is yes."

Jiang Yu walked into the room, and Chu Xuan was carefully fiddling with the Eden artifact in his hand at the table, with golden glowing lines entwined around his fingertips. Weaving one multi-spiral model after another.

"I watched a movie before, and I forgot the name. But it should be related to ancient Egypt, and there are also elements of mummies." - The name was not forgotten, but it should not appear in this place. Because it is the sequel of The Mummy, which was released in 2018, The Mummy 4, or the new Mummy.

But not many people know about it, because it is even worse than Tomb of the Dragon Emperor in terms of bad movies.

Chu Xuan raised his eyes and looked into Jiang Yu's eyes. "I'm very interested."

"The story is very simple. Thousands of years ago, an ancient Egyptian princess called Anmanet coveted her father's throne. So she made a deal with the god Set, dedicating her body to obtain Set's divine power. But her journey to usurp the throne was not successful, just like Imhotep killed the pharaoh at the time, but was subdued by the pharaoh's guards. Anmanet became a filial daughter, but was still controlled by the pharaoh's guards, and then was made into a mummy alive."

"This is illogical." Chu Xuan pushed his glasses. "In the royal succession law of ancient Egypt, princesses have the same right of succession as princes. Even if she wants to succeed to the throne, she should get rid of her brothers. Moreover, ancient Egypt followed the dual king system. Even if she succeeds to the throne of Pharaoh, she can only choose one place in Upper and Lower Egypt to rule. So instead of marrying herself to Set, she might as well find a way to deal with her father. This kind of thing often happened in the succession of the throne in ancient Egypt. Could it be that she lived before the first case?"

"It's also possible that the screenwriter and director are too poor." Jiang Yu shrugged. "So I can't even remember the name... But if it also becomes a world of reincarnation, then the possibility of her being before the first pharaoh to marry a female queen is probably not small."

"And this means that the era of Princess Anmanet is earlier than the era of Immorton. As a relative of later generations, the high priest may know her deeds." Chu Xuan nodded, Signaling Jiang Yu to continue. "what's next?"

"What follows is some more cliché content... The sealed princess was buried in the tomb for many years. Until one day in the future she was awakened by an engineering team. She planned to rebuild her dynasty, but before that she had to complete it first The contract with Seth. And she happened to meet a male protagonist who perfectly matched the physique of a container. So what followed was a boring tug and adventure. In the end, the male protagonist stole the ritual dagger she carried with her at the last moment. When he killed himself, he took on Seth's divine power and was buried, and the story came to an unhappy ending."

The content is indeed like this, so a bad movie is a bad movie.

After that, Chu Xuan asked in detail about many details about the movie. And the more questions he asked, the tighter his frown became.

There's no way, neither the director nor the screenwriter are technically good enough. Most of the added details have no viewing significance. Of course, this is much better than The Scorpion King 2, 3, 4, and 5, which are also spin-offs of the Mummy series. At least it's just that the characters are brainless, the plot is confusing, and the logic is different. Instead of creating the medieval warlocks, Japanese samurai, and Viking pirates from the ancient Egyptian era. And the Slavs who can make super electromagnetic armor and mechanical fire-breathing dragons...such things are unknown.

By the way, in the fifth installment of The Scorpion King. The Black Book of the Dead can actually transform into a girl, becoming a beautiful girl and getting involved with Enkidu, a famous hero from the Mesopotamian cultural circle next door. It's simply...incomprehensible.

So, time passes.

Jiang Yu explained all Chu Xuan’s questions.

And as a price, his brain was tortured by patching up bad movies, and the garbage memories accumulated in it were churning. After the process was over, he asked Chu Xuan.

"Do you think we will encounter such a thing in this world?"

"There is a certain possibility." Chu Xuan did not hide it and gave him a straightforward response. "Under normal circumstances, the statue of Seth will not appear in the homes of ordinary residents. Because this is an evil god, worshiping it is not good for one's reputation. And if it is really effective, then the first person to be unlucky will be It’s the worshiper himself.”

"We saw it at the point of descent. This may be a coincidence. We happened to choose the base of the Statue of Set in the museum. This may also be just a coincidence. But once the number of coincidences reaches three, it may become a reality—— This is the only point where we are likely to be overturned by the Indian team, so we need to respond and prepare.”

"Is there anything I can do?" Jiang Yu asked.

"Not yet." Chu Xuan pushed up his glasses, which was regarded as an order to expel guests. "The speculation has not yet become a reality. Preparation also requires time and materials. Our current action plan does not need to change. Let's adjust the state. Immorton, as an undead priest controlled by Anubis, wants to borrow the power of Seth. It is difficult. And the evils are destined to devour each other - and whether it can awaken Ammanet or not, we are destined to end up with the Indian team in the Gravekeeper Headquarters or the City of the Dead. "

He has said enough.

Jiang Yu nodded, turned and left the room where Chu Xuan was.

When he closed the door, he saw Li Shuaixi still standing by the window sill, looking at the city that was about to be dyed by dusk. He wanted to say something to Li Shuaixi. But when the words came to his lips, he couldn't form any words.

But there is one more thing he can do - give Zhan Lan more than one hot drink. And there are still some reserves in his storage ring.

Before he left, he placed a cup of hot drink on the window sill.

No feedback, no response.

And when he left this hall and went to any place that was more suitable for him to stay. In his ears, a slight 'thank you' seemed to emerge.

Did Li Shuaixi speak? have no idea. But Li Shuaixi's figure didn't seem to change at all. Under normal circumstances, you would at least look away when saying thank you.

And Jiang Yu didn't pay attention to such insignificant details.

After that, a few more minutes passed.

Chu Xuan compiled some information. Towards the members of the Zhongzhou team who are busy or repairing. An announcement was made in the psychic network.
