Tom Cat breaks through the dimensional wall

Chapter 179 The Secret Chamber of the Sphinx

At eight o'clock in the evening, Tang Mu and Xiao Yu finished watching the show at Guli Palace. They felt that it was about time, so they prepared to go home.

The main reason was that Jackie Chan ran away first. They were unfamiliar with the place and there was nothing to do.

Guli Palace was a little far from the Four Seasons Hotel.

If they walked back, it would probably take a lot of time.

So they found a van on the side of the road.

Vans like this are quite common on the streets of Egypt.

As long as you give one Egyptian pound, you can go anywhere in Cairo.

What's more interesting is that there is no upper limit on the number of people for one Egyptian pound.

In other words, as long as the van can fit, you can get twenty people and the driver can take one Egyptian pound.

Tang Mu and Xiao Yu were also fortunate to experience this feeling.

Xiao Yu felt like she was back in India.

Tang Mu recalled that when he was in junior high school, he accompanied his parents to visit relatives in the countryside. At that time, he also took a similar means of transportation.

Back to the room of the Four Seasons Hotel, it didn't take long before Jackie Chan, who was panting, ran back.

Although he looked tired, his clothes were intact and not dirty.

It seemed that the group of people really failed to catch up with Jackie Chan, the master of parkour.

After Jackie Chan returned to the hotel, he asked Tom and the others about what happened after he left, and then went to take a shower.

After walking around the streets of Cairo, you will definitely be covered in sweat and dust when you go home. If you don’t take a shower, you can’t sleep comfortably at night.

The next day was the second day when Tom and the others arrived in Egypt.

As Jackie Chan had said before, today’s itinerary was to visit the pyramids and the Sphinx.

The Four Seasons Hotel is on the east bank of the Nile, and the pyramids they are going to visit today are on the west bank of the Nile.

If you want to cross the river, you can choose to take a ferry or cross the bridge.

Xiaoyu was originally very interested in taking a boat.

But Jackie Chan asked at the hotel front desk and found that it was troublesome and he had to wait for a while, so he finally chose to take a car across the bridge.

This way, you can take a car all the way to your destination.

When they have time later, they can take a boat trip on the Nile.

Anyway, they have a lot of time in Egypt.

After driving for a while, they arrived at the Giza Pyramids under the guidance of a local driver.

This is a large plain of loess and yellow sand.

The famous Pyramids of Khufu, Khafre, Giza and Menkaure are all here.

They came from east to west.

When they came in from this road, the first thing they came into contact with was not the pyramids, but the Sphinx.

Jackie Chan also wanted to see this iconic stone statue from more than 4,500 years ago.

After paying to get off the bus, the two people and the cat slowly walked towards the Sphinx in front.

There was already a dark cloud floating in their sky, blocking the sun for them, which was really much more comfortable than other tourists.

"Wow, this is the Sphinx, it looks bigger than in the photo."

Xiaoyu seemed very excited.

She left the team directly and trotted to the side of the Sphinx.

She had long wanted to see what the side of the Sphinx looked like.

Usually, you can only see its front in photos.

Xiaoyu felt a little disappointed when she saw it.

Because the front of the Sphinx looks rough, but at least it looks good.

But its body looks very cheap.

It is a long rectangular block made of stone bricks, and the surface has not been polished or filled.

If the front half of the statue is covered, people will believe that it is construction waste that needs to be demolished at the construction site.

Although it is a little disappointing, overall, the Sphinx is so famous for a reason.

In the case of the first meeting, it will still give people a lot of visual shock.

It seems that this place will be surrounded by fences soon.

At that time, tourists will not be able to get close to the statue.

Taking advantage of this time, Tom ran to the hind legs of the statue to take a look.

There are many related legends about ancient Egypt.

Various unsolved mysteries.

Many of them can be related to mysterious aliens.

Among them, there is a legend about the Sphinx.

Legend has it that there is a secret room hidden in its hind legs, which contains information about Atlantis.

This legend is definitely false in the main world, but if it is placed in this world, it may be possible.

In particular, Tom remembered one thing.

The palace of Basha, the water demon among the eight demons, seems to be the legendary Atlantis.

From this, it can be inferred that Atlantis in this world is also real.

Considering this problem, Tom wanted to see if there is a secret room in the hind legs of the Sphinx.

If Atlantis can be found, Jackie Chan will have another adventure to write a book, and his side quest will be able to go further.

Just came to the hind legs of the stone statue, looking at the bricks piled in front of him.

Tom wanted to stretch out his claws to push.

Suddenly, Jackie Chan's voice came from behind.

"Tom! Xiaoyu! There is a call from the Cairo Museum. There is something urgent, so we have to go back first."

Tom heard and looked back.

When Xiaoyu heard this, she felt as if all her energy had been drained away, and her face was full of disappointment: "Uncle Long, we just got here, and we haven't even seen the pyramids yet."

Jackie Chan was embarrassed, after all, they had agreed to visit the pyramids together.

But Jackie Chan also knew the main purpose of their visit to Egypt this time. Now the museum said they had something to do, so of course they couldn't stay here any longer.

"Sorry, Xiaoyu. I promise you that I will accompany you to see the pyramids after I'm done. By then, the work will be done and we have a lot of time."

Jackie Chan put his hands together and apologized to Xiaoyu.

"Okay, just this once."

Xiaoyu sighed.

"Thank you, this is for you, just as my apology, Tom, and yours."

Jackie Chan waited for Xiaoyu and Tom to climb out of the pit where the statue was, and took out two small ornaments for them as compensation.

Both small ornaments are very Egyptian in style.

One is a small pendant of the pyramid, and the other is a pendant of Bastet, the ancient Egyptian cat god.

Xiaoyu likes the pyramid very much, so the pyramid is naturally given to Xiaoyu.

As for Bastet's pendant, Jackie Chan didn't know whether he considered that Tom was also a cat, so he gave it a cat god pendant.

To be honest, Tom felt average about the Bastet pendant. He didn't like it that much, nor did he hate it that much.

If he was asked to pay for it, he would definitely not buy it.

But this pendant was given to Tom as a gift, and Tom liked it very much.

Tom was the kind of person who rarely received gifts.

If someone gave him a gift sincerely, he would certainly feel very happy.

Jackie Chan bent over and put the pendant on Xiaoyu first, then on Tom, and also tightened the rope and adjusted the length of the pendant.

Tom took out a mirror to look at himself, and immediately smiled with a big white tooth, feeling very happy.

He took a camera to take a photo with Xiaoyu, Jackie Chan and others.

"Let's go, let's go back first. I also bought a gift for my dad, I hope he likes it."

Jackie Chan shook another Amon pendant in his hand and left with Tom.

Listening to Jackie Chan's words, Tom was also reminded.

When he goes back, he can indeed bring some gifts for his dad.

Egyptian black tea tastes pretty good.

Oh!

By the way!

I can also bring some gifts for Sui Sui and her parents.

When I return, I will say that I went on a business trip abroad and brought them here.

The driver who sent Tang Mu and the others here before had not left yet, so he picked them up and went back again.

At the entrance of the Cairo Museum, Evelyn, who had called in advance, was already standing there waiting.

When she saw Jackie Chan and the others get off the car, she hurried over to greet them.

It’s not that Evelyn is so enthusiastic that she has to wait here to greet Jackie Chan.

The main reason is that the incident happened suddenly, and Evelyn was also afraid that something might happen in the end.

She planned to understand the current situation in advance before Jackie Chan met those people in the museum.

“What is the situation?”

Jackie Chan looked at Evelyn, who was still confused.

Evelyn greeted Jackie Chan, and several people walked into the museum together.

When entering the museum, Tang Mu also noticed a sign of the Cairo Museum.

It says [No photography allowed in the museum unless you buy a photography ticket].

Well, it seems that this situation is inevitable everywhere.

Tom ignored Jackie Chan and the others and ran to buy a ticket.

He didn't care about others, anyway, Tom wanted to take a photo as a souvenir.

This was his first time to the Cairo Museum, and he couldn't just take a look.

On the other side, Evelyn took Jackie Chan to walk inside the museum and explained to him what was going on.

"It's like this, didn't I say before that the Louvre also sent people, and they are likely to participate in this archaeological operation."

"Originally they said they would come next week, in line with the staff of the British Museum. But I don't know why, maybe they have learned the detailed location of the archaeological excavation, so they plan to go there first before the British Museum to conduct an investigation."

Listening to Evelyn's explanation, Jackie Chan couldn't help but widen his eyes.

Good guy, the British and the French are really dogs.

Obviously, they have already agreed on the time, but they are all rushing ahead.

I think I was too honest.

If I hadn't wanted to come here in advance and travel, I might not even get the first-hand archaeological information.

But this time, the people of the Louvre spent so much effort to get information about the ruins and find out the location of the ruins.

I thought they had succeeded in getting ahead of time.

What was the result? The French didn't expect that the British would come to Egypt earlier than they thought.

If they knew this, I'm afraid these proud Louvre scholars would not be able to help but curse.

But this has nothing to do with Jackie Chan.

Because it was Jackie Chan who was invited by the British Museum.

In Evelyn's opinion. Although Jackie Chan was an invited scholar. But before the British Museum arrived, Jackie Chan could contact the Louvre people first.

She obviously didn't know that the British Museum had already arrived in Egypt.

If Evelyn, a young girl who was not very experienced in the world, knew all this, I'm afraid the image of scholars and professors in her heart would be destroyed.

Following Evelyn, we walked inside and soon arrived at a large library.

The bookcases here are very tall and form a circle in the spacious room.

At this time, a group of people are already talking in this circle.

Most are young people.

But it was obvious that they had no right to speak. They just stood aside and watched their mentor talking to an old man.

That old man is Terrence, the curator of the Cairo Museum.

The middle-aged man who communicated with Director Terrence the most was Dr. Thoma, the Egyptian curator of the Louvre.

The name Thomas is used by quite a few people in France.

Considering his age, being able to achieve this result is considered outstanding.

"Director Terrence, I have already told you the specific situation. I hope you can assist in this archaeological operation."

When Evelin, Jackie Chan and the others approached, the group's conversation seemed to be coming to an end.

Director Terrence was silent for a while, what could he say.

The other party is not easy to get along with, and the previous conversation was not very friendly.

Their words were often laced with warnings.

Anyway, I had already agreed to the British Museum before, so it doesn’t matter if I agree to the Louvre this time.

However, this still requires some skills.

Director Terrence showed a smile on his face, looked at Dr. Thomas in front of him and said: "We are very willing to help your museum, after all, it is also for the archaeological cause of Egypt. But after all, we had promised the British Museum before, and this archaeological The action is also initiated by them, and you have to talk to them.”

Dr. Thomas frowned when he heard this. He just wanted to conduct archeology before the British Museum and obtain first-hand information, so he sneaked over a few days in advance.

He knew in his heart that this was not very authentic, but in his heart the opportunity to take the lead in archaeology was more important.

He also knew that Terrence in front of him did not want to get involved in their struggle. The reason why he wanted to tell the British Museum was just to have himself removed first.

I was dissatisfied, but I also knew that things had to develop this way in the end.

After thinking for a while, he nodded: "Okay, you can talk to them."

A smile suddenly appeared on Terrence's face.

Just as Dr. Thomas thought, he really didn't want to get involved in the affairs of those two big museums.

If you really want to fight, let them do it on their own, just don't drag yourself into the water.

Anyway, the Hundred Years' War between England and France has been fought, and there is no shortage of small conflicts like today's.

In front of everyone at the Louvre, Terrence called the British Museum.

While making the phone call, he also saw Evelin and Jackie Chan coming over.

He raised his hand towards Evelin, signaling them to wait until he finished making the call.

Evelin nodded and stood aside with an excited look on her face.

She knew many experts and professors at the Louvre, and they were all authoritative scholars who had extensive research on ancient Egypt. To Evelin, this was no different from being a star-chasing girl, facing her favorite idol head-on.

Terrence finished the call.

Although they didn't hear what the British Museum said, everyone present could still hear something from Terrence's words.

Dr. Thomas's face suddenly turned ugly.

"Have people from the British Museum arrived here? Is this Mr. Cheng? I heard that the British Museum invited him to participate in this archaeological operation."

Dr. Toma said, looking at Jackie Chan aside.

Jackie Chan smiled awkwardly and raised his hand to say hello to the group of people.

He always felt as if everyone knew him, which made Jackie Chan a little uncomfortable.

Terrence also looked at Jackie Chan and nodded towards him.

But it can be seen that he doesn't seem to have much affection for Jackie Chan.

This makes Jackie Chan a little baffled.

It was obviously the first time they met, so I didn't know why he would be hostile to me.

Withdrawing his gaze, Terrence looked at Dr. Thomas again and said with a smile: "Mr. Jackie Chan was indeed invited by the British Museum, but it's not just him. Other scholars from the British Museum have also arrived. They said they will work with you. "

"What? They're already here too?"

Everyone in the Louvre suddenly became commotion.

Dr. Toma's face was even worse.

This was not at all what they expected.

It would be okay if it was just Jackie Chan. If the archeology really produced any results, it would be hard for the people in the British Museum to fight for it, and they couldn't grab it.

But if people from the British Museum are also here, it would be meaningless for them to sneak in early this time.

The abacus was completely empty.

Jackie Chan and Evelin stood aside, watching the development of the situation and not knowing what to say.

Director Terrence was happy to see this, as if he was watching a show.

Sure enough, it didn't take long after the phone call was made.

There are people coming from the British Museum.

The leader of the team was Dr. Boyang whom Jackie Chan saw yesterday.

Dr. Boyang came in and greeted Jackie Chan and the others enthusiastically, especially Jackie Chan who was a little too enthusiastic.

Completely ignoring the people at the Louvre.

This made Dr. Toma's expression even more ugly.

"Okay, now that everyone is here, let's advance this archaeological operation."

Dr. Boyang and Jackie Chan shook hands vigorously, patted Jackie Chan's shoulder enthusiastically, and said with a smile: "I have seen your research on ancient Egyptian texts over the years, and I have benefited a lot. You need more from this action. It’s up to you how much you can gain from your efforts.”

Jackie Chan was made a little uncomfortable by Dr. Boyan's enthusiasm.

Finally, they were surrounded by a group of people from the British Museum and walked out.

From beginning to end, Dr. Bojan and his team ignored the group of people from the Louvre.

The faces of Dr. Thomas and his team who were ignored became even uglier.

They were already very upset because their plan failed.

Now this happened, their mood became even worse.

But seeing that the people from the British Museum had already left, they had to follow them.

In any case, they could not be absent from this archaeological operation.

The people from the Louvre also knew that they were not invited, and they knew about this matter through small means. It was not very authentic to sneak in first.

Now they were caught by the people from the British Museum, and the situation became even more embarrassing.

But so what.

Anyway, the ruins of Egypt are not theirs in the UK.

Everyone is not a good person, and the eldest brother does not say anything about the second brother.
