"Dad, do you still have the letter? Let me see it."

Faced with Blake's teasing, Jackie Chan seemed a little embarrassed. He asked his dad about the letter with some curiosity, and also wanted to change the subject.

"Of course it's still there. It's here. If you want to see it, take it and have a look."

Dad raised his hand and pointed at a letter on the counter.

Hearing this, Jackie Chan walked over and took the letter to take a look.

The sender was indeed from World Archaeology Magazine, and the address was from London, England.

The magazine office of World Archaeology Magazine is there.

After reading the envelope, Jackie Chan took out the letter inside and read it carefully.

Although Dad had just given a rough idea of ​​the content of the letter, it was not a trivial matter for him after all, so Jackie Chan still wanted to take a closer look.

Seeing Jackie Chan reading the letter, Xiaoyu and Tang Mu, as two curious little ghosts, also came over to watch the fun.

Because of his insufficient height, Tang Mu also moved a folding ladder and placed it behind Jackie Chan.

One person and one cat climbed up the ladder and lowered their heads to read the letter with Jackie Chan.

Blake, who was standing by, didn't know what to say when he saw this.

Although the main job of District 13 is to investigate all kinds of extraordinary events, he should have a certain immunity.

But for Tom, he really couldn't accept it.

No matter how many times he saw it, Blake felt that the existence of a cat like Tom was really unreasonable.

Even if all the gods and Buddhas appeared, it couldn't be as big as the impact this cat brought to his heart.

Tom's performance a few hours ago really left him too deep an impression, and he was afraid he would never forget it in his life.

Blake thought that his spirit was still strong, at least he didn't go crazy directly.

You know, Daniel, who drove him before, is now receiving treatment from a psychologist in District 13.

Tom, the cat, has now become the focus of observation in District 13.

However, the main responsibility of District 13 is still investigation and observation, and it does not interfere in other ways, so no one will come to affect Tom's life.

Not only for Tom, but also for other extraordinary events.

On the other side, Jackie Chan has carefully read the letter sent by the magazine.

In general, it is what my father just said.

But Jackie Chan is more or less a scholar, and he still has to be rigorous as a scholar.

Some key information in the letter is also very important and must be read.

In general, it is still the papers on ancient Egyptian that Jackie Chan submitted before that have attracted the attention of some experts in the industry.

It just so happened that the curator of the Egyptian Museum of the British Museum also noticed Jackie Chan's paper and has been studying its feasibility.

The understanding of ancient Egyptian by experts in this world is different from that of the main world.

At this time, their understanding of ancient Egyptian characters is more inclined to the view in "Egyptian Hieroglyphics", a book about Egyptian hieroglyphs written by Hera Pineapple around 500 AD.

The book believes that the rabbit symbol in Egyptian hieroglyphs means open, because the rabbit's eyes are always open.

And the symbol of vulture means mother, because all vultures are female.

These contents are undoubtedly quite nonsense, but the problem is that it successfully led all the later researchers astray, and they all fell into the ditch one by one.

All of them rushed forward on the road of ancient Egyptian hieroglyphics, without looking back, so that today, ancient Egyptian has been called a dead language.

No one can translate it.

Jackie Chan seems to have a very strong talent in language, and his thinking is not fixed.

Inspired by the deciphering of Xixia characters, and as a Chinese, Jackie Chan is naturally very clear about the development history of Chinese characters, and naturally inspired by some different ideas about the deciphering of ancient Egyptian.

Why must ancient Egyptian be ideographic?

Perhaps, those symbols can actually be used directly as letters after being marked with pronunciation.

It is precisely because of these thoughts that Jackie Chan immediately began to study along this line of thought.

In the end, some results were achieved.

Just like a paper he submitted before, Jackie Chan compared the names in the king's name circle of the king of the Ptolemaic dynasty.

This is used to preliminarily prove that ancient Egyptian characters can be used as letters to mark pronunciation.

After that, step-by-step research and the publication of papers have made Jackie Chan's conjecture more likely.

Because of this, Jackie Chan is also a little famous among the scholars who study ancient Egypt.

His identity is like Champollion who deciphered ancient Egyptian in the main world of Tom.

It's just that he doesn't have as high a status as Champollion for the time being, nor does he have such authority.

But for the ancient Egyptian translation, which is almost stagnant, Jackie Chan's appearance is tantamount to giving everyone a new idea.

It just so happens that the curator of the Egyptian Museum of the British Museum has some new archaeological discoveries and is preparing to invite Jackie Chan to participate in an archaeological operation in Egypt.

Such an invitation to participate in an archaeological operation is really rare.

Even though Jackie Chan is also a little famous in the industry, he is also an honorary professor of the University of Hong Kong.

But this kind of formal invitation is the second time.

Especially the invitation of the British Museum.

In fact, for Jackie Chan, the feelings towards the British Museum are quite complicated.

As a patriotic Chinese, the large number of Chinese collections in the British Museum would remind him of that humiliating history and the ugly faces of the British.

But as an insider, he also knew that the invitation from the British Museum would help his archaeological career.

After thinking for a while, Jackie Chan finally sighed and decided to accept the invitation to take a look.

He really loves archaeology. Even if this trip has no reputation, he will go at his own expense after learning that there are new archaeological discoveries.

This has nothing to do with the British Museum.

And Jackie Chan also knows some foreign archaeologists. There are indeed many bad people, but some are not bad. Jackie Chan still wants to control his emotions as much as possible and not affect innocent people.

Chinese people are always like this. Because they are too civilized, they seem out of place in the barbaric world dominated by the West.

As a rational adult, Jackie Chan still needs to weigh his thoughts.

As an invincible cat, Tom's thoughts are of course simpler.

After seeing the British Museum in the letter, a bold idea came to Tom's mind.

Many Chinese probably have similar ideas.

But due to reality and strength, they can only think about it and cannot implement it.

Tom is different. Its strength is unquestionable.

In this case, if there is a chance in the future, just do it directly when you think of it.

But there is no rush for this matter. Anyway, there will be a chance to go to the UK in the future, and you can do that thing by the way.

Now, Jackie Chan should accept this invitation, and it is estimated that there will be a new adventure.

Its side quest can go further.

So it has to follow Jackie Chan.

The final result was not unexpected.

Jackie Chan did accept the invitation, and he replied an email and confirmed the time and place.

"Jackie Chan."

Seeing Jackie Chan finish his work, Blake, who had been waiting for a long time, stared at Jackie Chan, and his bald head was very conspicuous under the light.

Although Blake did not speak, Jackie Chan naturally knew what he wanted to say.

"Okay, okay. Blake, when we get to Egypt, I will help you check the scarab if I have time."

Before, Jackie Chan refused Blake's invitation because he was not planning to go to Egypt and did not want to get involved in Blake's affairs.

But now that they are going to Egypt, Blake is one of Jackie Chan's few old friends. It is not easy to refuse.

Seeing this, Blake smiled with satisfaction.

But Jackie Chan has not spoken yet. Looking at his old friend in front of him, Jackie Chan said again: "Blake, let me be frank. My main task in Egypt is to participate in archaeological activities. I cannot guarantee to help you investigate the scarab."

"I know, it's good that you can agree to help. We really need talents like you in District 13."

The expression on Blake's face did not change.

He knows Jackie Chan. This guy is too kind. As long as things are opened, it will be much easier in the future.

If there is a first help, there will definitely be a second and third time.

Even if there is no title of District 13 consultant, it is actually almost the same.

Blake would not let Jackie Chan work for nothing.

He had already found out that Jackie Chan's recent income was very poor.

This job in District 13 could at least allow Jackie Chan to live a less tight life.

Speaking of income.

Blake looked at Tom, who was observing his tail.

This cat has made a lot of money from selling books recently.

The book "Jackie Chan Adventures: Mythology" did make Tom a lot of money.

It's just a pity that all this money can only be spent in this world and cannot be taken to other worlds, so it doesn't mean much to Tom.

But it's not bad to have this money, at least you don't have to spend the money in the cat's account.

"Uncle Long, so you have decided to go to Egypt?"

Xiaoyu looked at Jackie Chan with her big eyes, twisting her hands together, showing some shyness and expectation: "Will you take me with you? Ancient Egypt is so mysterious, I want to see it too."

Jackie Chan immediately turned his head to look at Xiaoyu after hearing this, and subconsciously wanted to refuse Xiaoyu.

But then he seemed to remember something.

He looked at Xiaoyu, who seemed to be well-behaved, and then at Tangmu, who was hooking his tail with his claws.

The first two times, Jackie Chan wanted Xiaoyu to stay at home obediently.

Xiaoyu and Tangmu agreed very enthusiastically.

But what happened in the end?

Not to mention asking the two little guys to stay at home obediently, he even took away his home in the end.

He remembered the scene he saw on the plane before.

Fortunately, Dad didn't have any heart problems, otherwise, he would have been scared to death when he woke up and found himself at an altitude of 9,000 meters.

His mouth opened.

After staring at Xiaoyu's expectant eyes for a long time, Jackie Chan finally sighed helplessly.

"Okay, let's go together. But we have to make it clear in advance that this trip is not just for fun, but also for archaeological work. It will be very hard, so don't have too much expectation."

Considering that this trip to Egypt was mainly invited by the British Museum, there should be no problem in terms of safety.

Jackie Chan was also afraid that Xiaoyu would secretly follow him to Egypt in the end. Without an adult watching, it would be even more troublesome.

My ancestors were right, blocking is worse than sparing.

In this case, just take Xiaoyu with you.

Real archaeological sites are actually pretty boring anyway.

With Xiaoyu's out-of-the-box personality, Jackie Chan didn't think Xiaoyu could survive the scene.

It's good to temper her temperament like this, so that when she goes out again in the future, she will no longer want to follow him.

"Yeah! I can go to Egypt too! I want to ride a camel! I want to see the pyramids and mummies!"

Unexpectedly, she would actually get Jackie Chan's permission. Xiaoyu jumped up with excitement!

Seeing Xiaoyu's appearance, Jackie Chan turned to look at his father behind the counter, and asked with some worry: "Dad, do you want to go to Egypt with us?"

"Dad can do it alone. There must always be someone in the store. We can't just close the shop."

Dad waved his hand indifferently.

He had also been to that damn place in Egypt, but now he was no longer interested.

"Dad's old bones can no longer stand the torment. If you find some interesting antiques there and you can buy them back, just treat them as helping dad buy them."

Hearing what his father said, Jackie Chan nodded and agreed without any further persuasion.

After a moment of silence, Jackie Chan seemed to have remembered something. He looked at his father and asked solemnly: "Dad, aren't there seven more demons? Are they making any movement now?"

The father waved his hands indifferently and said: "Oh, don't think so much. If those demons are to be resurrected, the demonic energy will definitely become active, and the Tiger Talisman Jade Pendant will naturally react. The jade pendant is still fine now, which means that it is not there for the time being. Well, you should do your own thing first.”

Hearing this, Jackie Chan's anxious heart was relieved.

Nothing is best.

"Well, Dad, I'm going to pack my luggage first. Although it's not the appointed time yet, I want to go to Egypt to see it tomorrow."

Jackie Chan said and walked out directly, preparing to go back to his tower crane to pack his luggage.

He had gone inland before, always within the country, and the distance was very close, so he didn't make any preparations.

Although he had just flown back to Xiangjiang, this time he was going to Egypt, so Jackie Chan still had to prepare some necessary supplies in advance.

"Xiaoyu, follow me, you have to prepare something. The environment in Egypt is different from that in Hong Kong."

Jackie Chan went out and greeted Xiaoyu.

Xiaoyu was very happy and naturally followed quickly.

"Aaron! There's one more thing. The store has been busy recently, and you're away from home all day. Dad needs help. When you have time later, remember to print out a recruitment notice for dad."

When Jackie Chan and the others were about to go out, Dad stopped Jackie Chan from behind.

"Ah, okay dad, I understand."

Jackie Chan scratched his head. He didn't expect that his father's antique shop would also be recruiting people, and he felt a little uncomfortable for a while.

But since dad has spoken, Jackie Chan will certainly not refuse.

He was indeed relatively free before. Because he had less work, he often stayed in the store and helped his father.

I don’t know if it’s because of the adoption of Tom Mu recently, but it’s a bit like a lucky cat, and he has a lot more work to do.

But if this happened, he would no longer be able to help his father.

From this point of view, it is really imperative to find someone for Dad's antique shop.

Jackie Chan and the others went to pack their luggage, and Blake also left with satisfaction after achieving his goal.

After Jackie Chan and Xiaoyu spent some time packing their luggage for Egypt, Jackie Chan immediately went to the print shop to print out recruitment notices for his father.

A recruitment notice was posted at the door of the store and they stayed in Xiangjiang for another night. The next day, Jackie Chan and Xiaoyu took the cat Tom Mu to Xiangjiang Airport again.

They needed to fly to Cairo Airport in Egypt.

Recently, they really spent some time on the plane.

In just one month, I have flown several times in a row.

Fortunately, Tang Mu made some money from selling books, otherwise, Jackie Chan might not even be able to afford a plane ticket.

Tom Mu still remembers that Jackie Chan wanted to buy a plane ticket yesterday, but found out awkwardly that he didn't have enough money.

Especially after paying themselves, Jackie Chan and Xiaoyu's expressions became even more exciting.

In a small family, whoever controls the wallet will be tougher in speaking.

Taking advantage of this period of time, it doesn't matter if Tang Mu acts casually in front of Jackie Chan.

After boarding the plane with your ticket, it’s a long wait for the flight.

The flight they took took at least fifteen hours to fly from Xiangjiang to Cairo.

Whether it is economy class or first class, flying for such a long time is actually not very comfortable.

Even Jackie Chan and Xiaoyu, although they were looking forward to Egypt, couldn't help but look sad when they thought about the long flight time.

Staying in a small space for such a long time is no different from going to jail. It is a physical and mental torture.

"Go to sleep, it's better when you're asleep."

Jackie Chan and the others had just sat down. Seeing Xiaoyu's uncomfortable expression, Jackie Chan comforted Xiaoyu.

On this long flight, I could only pass the time by sleeping.

At least time passes faster when you fall asleep.

But the problem is, even if you want to fall asleep on a plane, it's not that simple.

At this time, the plane was shaking slightly and had begun to slowly take off.

Seeing the expressions of Jackie Chan and Xiaoyu next to him, Tang Mu didn't want to suffer on the plane for so long.

After thinking for a while, it raised its left paw, lifted the fur on it, revealing a children's watch underneath, stretched out a paw to rest on the minute hand of the dial, and rotated clockwise for more than ten circles.

As the minutes on Tang Mu's dial turned, the time of the whole world also fast-forwarded!

The plane crossed Hong Kong and Cairo at a very fast speed.

The sky outside also changed drastically in an instant.

Jackie Chan and his body sensed that the plane had just taken off, but in less than a few seconds, the plane had already begun to land and taxied on the runway of Cairo Airport.

"Ladies and gentlemen:

The plane has landed at Cairo International Airport. The temperature outside is 37 degrees Celsius. The plane is taxiing. For the safety of you and others, please do not stand up or open the luggage rack."

"After the plane has completely stopped, please unfasten your seat belts and pack your carry-on items to get off the plane. Please pay attention to safety when taking items from the luggage rack. Please go to the baggage claim area to collect your checked luggage. Passengers who need to transfer to other places at this station please go to the transfer counter in the waiting room."

"Thank you for choosing Hong Kong Airlines. See you on the next trip!"

Listening to the broadcast of the flight attendant in the cabin, Jackie Chan and Xiaoyu looked at each other in disbelief before they even had time to sit down!
