Tom cat breaking through the dimensional wall

Chapter 179 The Chamber of the Sphinx
At eight o'clock in the evening, Tom and Xiaoyu finished watching the performance at Guli Palace. They felt that the time was almost up, so they were ready to go home.

The main reason is that Jackie Chan ran away first. The two of them are not familiar with each other here, so it's not much fun.

Guli Palace is still a little far away from the Four Seasons Hotel.

It would probably take a lot of time to walk back.

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

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

Just give one Egyptian pound and it will take you anywhere in Cairo.

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

That is to say, as long as the van is crowded, you can have 20 drivers to pull one Egyptian pound.

Tom and Xiaoyu were also fortunate to experience this feeling.

Xiaoyu felt back to India.

Tom 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 vehicle.

After returning to the room of the Four Seasons Hotel, Jackie Chan, who was out of breath, also ran back without waiting for a long time.

Although he looked tired, the clothes on his body were still intact and there was no dirt.

It seems that those people did not catch up to Jackie Chan who is a parkour master.

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

After walking around the streets of Cairo, you must be covered in sweat and dust when you return home. If you don’t take a shower, you will not be able to sleep comfortably at night.

The next day, Tom's second day in Egypt.

As Jackie Chan said before, today's itinerary is 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 a ferry or cross the bridge.

Originally, Xiaoyu wanted to take the boat with great interest.

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

This way you can drive directly to your destination.

If you have time later, you can also take a boat tour on the Nile.

Anyway, they spent a lot of time in Egypt.

After driving for a period of time, under the leadership of a local driver, they arrived at the Giza Pyramids.

Here is a great plain of loess and yellow sand.

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

They come from east to west.

When this road comes in, the first thing you touch is not the pyramids, but the Sphinx.

Jackie Chan also wanted to see this iconic stone statue from more than 4500 years ago.

After paying to get off the car, the two of them walked slowly towards the Sphinx in front of them.

In their sky, there is already a dark cloud floating, protecting them from the sun, it is really much more comfortable than other tourists.

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

Xiaoyu looked very excited.

He broke away from the team directly and rushed to the side of the Sphinx with a trot.

She had long wanted to see what the profile of the sphinx looked like.

Usually only its front can be seen in photos.

Seeing this, Xiaoyu suddenly felt a little disappointed.

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

But its body looks very cheap.

It was a long cuboid made of stone bricks, without any sanding or caulking on the outside.

If the first half of the stone statue is covered.It is believed that it is construction waste that needs to be demolished at the construction site.

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

When meeting for the first time, it will still give people a lot of visual shock.

It won't be long before the place looks like it will be fenced off.

At that time, tourists will no longer be able to get close to the stone statues.

Taking advantage of this moment, Tom ran to the hind legs of the stone statue to have a look.

There are many legends about ancient Egypt.

Various unsolved mysteries.

Many of them can also be related to mysterious aliens.

There is a legend about the Sphinx.

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

This legend must be false in the main world, but if it is placed in this world, maybe it is really possible.

In particular, Tom also remembered one thing.

Among the eight demons, the water demon Bazaar, its palace seems to be the legendary Atlantis.

From this inference, it is estimated that Atlantis in this world is also real.

It was in consideration of this problem that Tom wanted to see if there was a secret chamber on the back leg of the Sphinx.

If he can really find Atlantis, Jackie Chan will have another adventure that can be written into a book, and its side missions will also be able to go further.

I just came to the hind legs of the stone statue and looked at the stone bricks piled up in front of me.

Tom wanted to reach out and push.

Jackie Chan's cry suddenly came from behind.

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

Tom Mu heard the words and looked back.

When Xiaoyu heard this, she felt as if she had been exhausted, and her face was full of disappointment: "Uncle Long, we have just arrived here, and we haven't even seen the pyramid yet."

Jackie Chan is also not very embarrassed, after all, it was agreed before that they want to visit the pyramid together.

But Jackie Chan also knew what the main purpose of their visit to Egypt this time was. Now that the museum said something was wrong, of course they couldn't continue to stay here.

"I'm sorry, Xiaoyu. I promise you, I will accompany you to see the pyramids when the work is over. By then, the work will be done and we will have a long time."

Jackie put his palms together and apologized to Xiaoyu.

"Okay, just this once."

Xiaoyu sighed.

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

Jackie Chan waited for Xiaoyu and Tom to climb up from the pit where the stone statue was, and took out two trinkets for them as an apology.

Both trinkets are very Egyptian.

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

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

As for Bastet's pendant, Jackie Chan didn't know if it was because Tom was also a cat, so he gave him a cat god pendant.

To be honest, Tom's feelings about this Bastet pendant are quite average, he doesn't like it that much, and he doesn't hate it that much.

If you let it pay for it, you will definitely not buy it.

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

Tom is one of those people who rarely gets presents.

Someone sincerely gives him a gift, of course it will feel very happy.

Jackie Chan bent down, first put the pendant on Xiaoyu, and then on Tom Mu, and stretched the rope to adjust the length of the pendant.

Tom took out a mirror to look at himself, and immediately grinned and opened his big white teeth, feeling very happy.

He also took a photo with Xiaoyu and Jackie Chan with the camera.

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

Jackie Chan shook another Amon's pendant in his hand, and took Tom and the others away.

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

When I go back, I can indeed bring some gifts for my father.

Egyptian black tea tastes okay.

Oh!
correct!

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

When the time comes back, I will go on a business trip abroad and bring them for them by the way.

The driver who had brought Tom and the others hadn't left yet, so he picked them up and went back again.

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

Seeing Jackie Chan and the others get off the car, they rushed up to meet him.

It's not that Evelyn is so enthusiastic that she insists on waiting here to welcome Jackie Chan.

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

It is planned that before Jackie Chan meets those people in the museum, he can first understand the current situation in advance.

"what's going on?"

Jackie Chan looked at Evelyn, still confused.

Evelyn greeted Jackie Chan, and several of them walked towards the museum together.

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

It says [Photography is prohibited in the museum unless you buy a photo ticket].

Well, it seems that this is the case everywhere.

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

It doesn't care what others say, anyway, Tom himself wants to take a photo as a souvenir.

This is the first time it has come to the Cairo Museum, so it can't be just a simple look.

On the other side, Evelyn led Jackie Chan to walk inside the museum, and at the same time explained to him what the situation is now.

"That's right. Didn't I say it before? The Louvre has also sent people here, and it's very likely that they will also participate in this archaeological operation."

"Originally, they said that they would come over next week, and they were consistent with the staff of the British Museum. But for some reason, they may have learned the detailed location of the archaeology, so they planned to go there for investigation first, before the British Museum staff. "

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

Good guy, the British guy and the French guy are really a dog.

Obviously they have already agreed on a time, but everyone is running ahead of time.

I still seem too honest.

If you don't want to come here in advance and travel by the way, I'm afraid you won't even get the first-hand archaeological information.

However, the people of the Louvre spent so much effort this time, not only to obtain information about the ruins, but also to find out the location of the ruins.

I thought it was a successful run.

The results of it?The French did not expect, but the British came to Egypt earlier than they thought.

If they knew this, I am afraid that this group of triumphant Louvre scholars would not be able to resist cursing.

But this is not about Jackie Chan.

Because Jackie Chan was invited by people from the British Museum.

In Evelyn's mind.Jackie Chan is an invited scholar though.But before the people from the British Museum came, Jackie Chan could contact the people from the Louvre first.

She obviously didn't know that the people from the British Museum had also gone to Egypt first.

If Evelyn, a little girl who is not deeply involved in the world, knows all this, I am afraid that the image of scholars and professors in her heart will be destroyed.

Follow Evelyn straight inside, and soon you will come to a large library.

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

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

Most are young people.

But it could be seen that they didn't have any right to speak, they just stood aside and watched their mentor talking with an old man.

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

The middle-aged man who communicated with the curator Terrence the most is Dr. Thomas, the curator of the Egyptian Pavilion of the Louvre.

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

In terms of his age, being able to achieve this achievement can be regarded as outstanding.

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

When Evelyn and Jackie Chan approached, the conversation of this group of people seemed to be coming to an end.

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

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

There was no shortage of warnings in their words.

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

However, this still requires a bit of skill.

Curator 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 cause of Egyptian archaeology. But we have agreed to the British Museum before, after all, this archaeological Actions are also initiated by them, and they have to be spoken to."

Dr. Thomas frowned when he heard the words. He just wanted to do archaeology before the British Museum and obtain first-hand information, so he sneaked over a few days earlier.

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

He also knew that Terrence in front of him didn't want to get involved in their struggle. The reason why he wanted to tell the British Museum was just to remove himself first.

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

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

A smile suddenly appeared on Terrence's face.

As Dr. Thomas thought, he really didn't want to get involved in the two big museums.

If you really want to fight and argue, let them do it themselves, just don't drag yourself into the water.

Anyway, the Hundred Years War between Britain and France has already been fought, and there is no shortage of such small conflicts today.

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

While on the phone, he also saw Evelyn and Jackie Chan coming over.

He raised his hand towards Evelyn Xu, signaling them to wait for him to finish his phone call.

Evelyn nodded and stood aside excitedly.

She knows many experts and professors at the Louvre Museum, and they are all authoritative scholars who have studied ancient Egypt. For Evelyn, this is no different from a star-chaser girl who meets her favorite idol.

Terrence finished the phone call.

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

Dr. Thomas' complexion suddenly became ugly.

"Has anyone 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. Thomas said, looking at Jackie Chan who was on the side.

Jackie Chan smiled awkwardly, and raised his hand to greet the group of people.

He always felt as if everyone knew him, which made Jackie 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 made Jackie Chan somewhat inexplicable.

It's obviously the first time we've met, and I don't know why he is hostile to me.

Looking away, Terrence looked at Dr. Thomas again, and said with a smile: "Mr. Jackie Chan was indeed invited by the British Museum, but he was not the only one. Other scholars from the British Museum have also arrived. They said they will act together with you .”

"What? They've arrived too?"

There was a commotion in the Louvre suddenly.

Dr. Thomas' complexion was even worse.

This was completely out of their expectation.

If it's just a Jackie Chan, it's okay. If the archaeology has really produced any results, the people of the British Museum will not be able to compete for it, and they will not be able to grab it.

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

The abacus is completely empty.

Jackie Chan and Evelyn stood aside, watching the development of the situation in the field, they didn't know what to say.

Curator Terrence was happy to see this, and he was completely in the mood of watching a show.

Sure enough, it wasn't long after the call was made.

There are people from the British Museum.

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

When Dr. Bo Yang came in, he first greeted Jackie Chan and the others enthusiastically, especially his enthusiasm for Jackie Chan was a bit too much.

Completely ignored the crowd in the Louvre.

This made Dr. Thomas' face even uglier.

"Okay, since everyone has arrived, let's advance this archaeological operation."

Dr. Bo Yang and Jackie Chan shook hands vigorously, patted Jackie Chan's shoulder enthusiastically, and said with a smile: "I have read your research on ancient Egyptian scripts over the years, and I have benefited a lot. You need to do more this time." It’s all up to you to make an effort, and how much you can gain.”

Jackie Chan is a little uncomfortable with Dr. Bo-young's enthusiasm.

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

From the beginning to the end, Dr. Bo Yang and the others ignored those people from the Louvre.

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

I was already very upset because my calculation failed.

Now that they are still doing this, their mood is even worse.

But the people looking at the British Museum had already left, and they had to follow.

In any case, this archaeological operation cannot be absent.

The people in the Louvre also knew that they were not invited, and they found out about it through small tricks, so it would be inappropriate to sneak in first.

Now that he is still caught by the British Museum, the situation is even more embarrassing.

But so what.

Anyway, the remains of Egypt are not their British.

Everyone is not a good thing, the eldest brother does not say the second brother.
