Tom cat breaking through the dimensional wall

Chapter 176 Extreme Flight
"Father, do you still have the letter? Show me."

Faced with Black's ridicule, Jackie Chan seemed a little embarrassed, and curiously asked his father about the letter, and at the same time wanted to change the subject by the way.

"Of course I still keep it. It's here. If you want to see it, you can take it."

Dad raised his hand and clicked on a letter on the counter.

Hearing this, Jackie Chan walked over to pick up the letter and read it.

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

The magazine office of World Archeology Magazine is hosted there.

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

Although the old man had already outlined the content of the letter just now, it was not a trivial matter to him after all, and Jackie Chan still wanted to take a closer look.

Seeing Jackie Chan reading the letter there, as two little curious ghosts, Xiao Yu and Tom Mu also came over to watch the excitement.

Because he was not tall enough, Tom moved a folding ladder and placed it behind Jackie Chan.

One person and one cat climbed onto the ladder and looked down to read the letter with Jackie Chan.

Seeing this, Black on the side didn't know what to say.

Although the main job of the thirteenth district is to investigate all kinds of unconventional incidents, he should have a certain degree of immunity.

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

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

Even if the gods and Buddhas all over the sky appeared, it would not be as powerful as the impact this cat brought to his heart.

It was Tom's performance a few hours ago that impressed him so deeply that he might never forget it in his life.

Black thought he was mentally strong, at least he didn't go crazy directly.

You know, the Daniel who drove him before has now received treatment from a psychologist in the thirteenth district.

Tom, the cat, has now become a key observation object in the thirteenth district.

It's just that the main responsibility of the thirteenth district is to investigate and observe, and no other interference is made, so no one will come to affect Tom's life.

Not just for Tom, but for other unconventional events as well.

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

Generally speaking, it is what the old man said just now.

It's just that Jackie Chan is more or less a scholar, and he still needs to be rigorous as a scholar.

Some key information in the letter is also very important, so I have to read it.

Generally speaking, several papers on ancient Egyptian written by Jackie Chan have received the attention of some experts in the industry.

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

Experts in this world have a different understanding of ancient Egyptian than those in the main world.

Their understanding of ancient Egyptian writing at this time is more inclined to the viewpoint in a book about Egyptian hieroglyphs written by Hera Pineapple around 500 AD, "Egyptian Hieroglyphics".

It is believed in the book that the rabbit symbol in Egyptian hieroglyphs means open, because the rabbit's eyes are always open.

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

These contents are undoubtedly quite nonsense, but the problem is that it successfully led all subsequent researchers astray, and all of them fell into the ditch.

They all rushed forward on the road of ancient Egyptian hieroglyphics without looking back, so that today, ancient Egyptian has been called a dead writing.

No one can translate.

Jackie Chan's talent in language seems to be very powerful, and his thinking is not qualitative.

Inspired by the deciphering of Xixia script, coupled with the fact that Jackie Chan, as a native of Huaguo, is also very aware of the development history of Chinese characters, he was naturally inspired and had some different ideas about deciphering ancient Egyptian script.

Why did ancient Egyptian have to be ideograms?

Perhaps, those symbols can actually be used directly as letters after phonetic marking.

It is precisely because of this thought that Jackie Chan immediately began to conduct research 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 Ptolemaic kings.

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

Subsequent research step by step and the publication of papers one after another also made Jackie Chan's conjecture more likely.

Because of this, among a group of scholars who study ancient Egypt, Jackie Chan can be regarded as a minor celebrity.

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

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 almost stagnant ancient Egyptian translation, the appearance of Jackie Chan is tantamount to giving everyone a new way of thinking.

It just so happened that the curator of the Egyptian Museum of the British Museum had some new archaeological discoveries and was going to invite Jackie Chan to participate in an archaeological operation in Egypt.

It is really rare to be invited to participate in archaeological actions like this.

Even Jackie Chan is well-known in the industry, and he is also an honorary professor at the University of Hong Kong.

But this serious invitation was the second time.

In particular, it is an invitation at the level of the British Museum.

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

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

But as an industry insider, I also know that the invitation of the British Museum is helpful to his archaeological career.

After thinking for a while, Jackie Chan finally let out a long sigh, and decided to take a look at the invitation.

He really loves archaeology deeply, even if this journey does not have any fame to help, he will go there at his own expense after learning that there are new archaeological discoveries.

This has nothing to do with the British Museum.

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

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

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

As an invincible cat, Tom's thinking is of course simpler.

After seeing the British Museum in the letter, a bold idea had arisen in Tom's head.

Many Chinese probably have similar thoughts.

But based on reality and strength, in the end, I can only think about it and cannot implement it.

Tom Mu is different, its strength is beyond doubt.

That being the case, when you have a chance in the future, just do it when you think of it.

It's just that there is no rush for this matter. Anyway, there will be a chance to go to the UK in the future, and it will be fine to do that by the way.

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

Its side missions can go one step further.

So it has to keep up with Jackie Chan.

The final result was not unexpected.

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

"Jackie Chan."

Seeing that Jackie Chan was busy with his work, Black, who had been waiting for a long time, stared straight at Jackie Chan, his bald head was very conspicuous under the light.

Although Black didn't speak, Jackie Chan naturally knew what he wanted to say.

"Okay, okay. Blake, when we get to Egypt, if I have time, I'll check the scarab for you."

Jackie Chan declined Black's invitation because he was not planning to go to Egypt and didn't want to get involved with Black's affairs.

But now that they are going to Egypt, as one of the few old friends of Jackie Chan, Blake has come to this point, so naturally it is not easy to refuse.

Seeing this, Black smiled in satisfaction.

But Jackie Chan hadn't spoken yet. Looking at the old friend in front of him, Jackie Chan said again: "Blake, I'm ugly. My main task in Egypt is to participate in archaeological activities. I can't promise to help you investigate scarabs."

"I know, it's good if you agree to help, we really need talents like you in the thirteenth district."

There was no change in the expression on Black's face.

He knows Jackie Chan, this guy is so kind, as long as the matter is opened, it will be much easier in the future.

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

Even if it wasn't named as an advisor to the [-]th district, it was actually almost the same.

Black would not let Jackie work for nothing.

He has already found out that Jackie Chan's recent income situation is very poor.

This job in the thirteenth district can at least allow Jackie Chan to live a life that is not so tight.

Speaking of income.

Black looked at Tom who was observing his tail.

The cat has really made a lot of money selling books recently.

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

It's just a pity that the 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 good to have this money, at least you don't have to spend the money in the cat's account anymore.

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

Xiaoyu stared at Jackie Chan with wide eyes, and twitched her hands together, showing some squeamishness and anticipation: "Will you take me with you? Ancient Egypt is so mysterious, I want to see it too."

Hearing this, Jackie Chan immediately turned his head to look at Xiaoyu, subconsciously wanting to reject Xiaoyu.

But then he seemed to remember something.

He looked at Xiaoyu, who was well-behaved on the surface, and then at Tom Mu, who was hooking his tail with his claws.

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

Both Xiaoyu and Tom Mu agreed enthusiastically.

But in the end?

Not to mention letting the two little guys stay at home obediently, good guy, in the end they even served him at home.

I remembered the scene I saw on the plane before.

Fortunately, my father didn't have any heart problems, otherwise, he would have been scared out of his mind when he woke up and found himself at an altitude of 9000 meters.

Mouth opened.

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

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

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 more troublesome.

The old ancestors said it rightly, blocking is worse than sparse.

That being the case, then just take Xiaoyu with you.

Anyway, the real archaeological site is actually very boring.

With Xiaoyu's jumping character, Jackie Chan didn't think Xiaoyu could stay on set.

It's good to sharpen her temper in this way, and she won't think about going with her when she goes out again in the future.

"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, so Xiaoyu jumped up excitedly!

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

"Father can be alone, there must always be someone in the store. You can't just close the door."

Dad waved his hand indifferently.

He'd been to that damned place in Egypt, too, and now he wasn't interested.

"The old man can't stand the toss anymore. If you can buy some interesting antiques there, you should just help the old man buy them."

Hearing what his father said, Jackie Chan didn't persuade him anymore, so he nodded and agreed.

After being silent for a while, Jackie Chan seemed to think of something. He looked at his father and asked solemnly: "Dad, don't there still be seven demons? Are there any movements from them now?"

The old man waved his hand indifferently, and said: "Oh, don't think so much. If those demons are going to be resurrected, the demon energy will definitely become active, and the tiger amulet jade pendant will naturally respond. Now that the jade pendant is still in good condition, it means that there is no You should do your own thing first."

Hearing this, Jackie Chan let go of his suspended heart.

Nothing is the best.

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

As Jackie Chan said, he went straight out, ready to go back to his tower crane boat to pack his luggage.

Before going to the inland, they were all in the country, and the distance was very close, so he didn't make any preparations.

Although he just took the plane back to Xiangjiang, but this time he is going to Egypt, Jackie Chan still has to prepare some necessary supplies in advance.

"Xiaoyu, keep up, you also 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.

"A-Long! One more thing. The shop is quite busy recently, and you are away all day, and Dad needs help. When you have time later, remember to help Dad print out a recruitment notice."

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

"Ah, good old man, I see."

Jackie Chan scratched his head, he didn't expect that Lao Die's antique shop was going to recruit people, and he was a little uncomfortable for a while.

But since Dad has spoken, of course Jackie Chan will not refuse.

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

Recently, I don't know if it's the reason for adopting Tom, but it really looks like a lucky cat, and his work has increased.

But if it happened, he would no longer be able to continue helping 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 Black also achieved his goal, so naturally he left satisfied.

After Jackie Chan and Xiaoyu took a while to pack their luggage for Egypt, Jackie Chan immediately went to the printing shop to print the recruitment notice for Dad.

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

They need to fly to Cairo Airport in Egypt.

Recently, they really spent time on the plane.

In just one month, it has flown several times in a row.

Fortunately, Tom made some money from selling books, otherwise, Jackie Chan might not even be able to afford air tickets.

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

Especially after paying the money by himself, the expressions of Jackie Chan and Xiaoyu are even more exciting.

In a small family, whoever holds the purse will speak hard.

Taking advantage of this period of time, it doesn't matter if Tom behaves casually in front of Jackie Chan.

After boarding the plane with the ticket, it is a long time to wait for the flight.

The flight they took took at least fifteen hours 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, could not help but look bitter when they thought of the long flight time.

Staying in such a small space for such a long time is no different from going to jail. It is a double torture to the body and spirit.

"Go to sleep, it's better to sleep."

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

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

At least after falling asleep, time can pass faster.

But the problem is, even trying to fall asleep on the plane is not that simple.

At this time, the plane trembled slightly and began to lift off slowly.

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

After thinking for a while, it lifted its left paw, lifted the fur on it, and revealed a children's watch below. It stretched out a paw to rest on the minute hand of the dial, and drove it clockwise for more than ten laps.

With the rotation of the minutes on Tom's dial, the time all over the world also fast forwards!
The plane passed through Xiangjiang and Cairo at a very fast speed.

The sky outside also changed instantly.

Jackie Chan and his body sensed that the plane had just taken off, but within a few seconds, the plane had already started to land and taxied on the runway at Cairo's airport.

"ladies and gentlemen:

The plane has landed at Cairo International Airport, the temperature outside is 37 degrees Celsius, and 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 come to a complete stop, please unfasten your seat belts, pack your belongings and prepare 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 transfer to other places at this station, please go to the transfer counter in the waiting room."

"Thank you for choosing the flight of Xiangjiang Airlines, see you next time!"

Listening to the stewardess' radio announcement in the cabin, Jackie Chan and Xiaoyu looked at each other with disbelief even before their buttocks were hot!
