Chapter 353 Reasoning Notes 8: Legend of the Pharaoh (3)
After a while, the assistant handed over the document and put it on the desktop.Li Yunong opened it, but his soul was instantly hooked, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

is it!He picked up the file emotionally, his heart beating wildly.

The cultural relics in this exhibition belong to Pharaoh Khufu!Li Yunong's head and feet seemed to be connected to positive and negative poles, and the tingling sensation after the electric current hit him moved restlessly in his body.Could it be that even that... His cheek muscles tensed, and his eyes moved down.Sure enough, among the names of many objects, he caught something that made him dread.

——The mummy of Pharaoh Khufu!
These words quietly unfolded in front of my eyes, just like the golden coffin lying quietly in the ancient tomb back then, but it brought endless nightmares to people.Li Yunong closed his eyes in pain, and the terrible experience 32 years ago reappeared vividly in his mind, vividly in his mind.

Back then, their expedition team encountered the resurrected real body of the pharaoh in the tomb of the pharaoh...

Since leaving Egypt that time, he has never returned.

He thought that the tomb and his dead companions would be buried in the desolate desert.Unexpectedly, we will meet again here today.Li Yunong walked to the window and stared out with a heavy heart.While contemplating, I saw a few large container trucks slowly entering from Huacheng Avenue, and suddenly stopped outside the museum.The staff who had already been fully equipped immediately stepped forward and started working.The quiet hall suddenly became noisy.The porters came in and out like hardworking ants, and the wooden boxes loaded with cultural relics were moved into the museum one by one.

"Curator, the cultural relics have arrived."

In the office, the assistant's voice interrupted Li Yunong's thoughts.

"Yeah." Li Yunong said absent-mindedly.

Forget it, what should come will always come.He stabilized his mind, turned and walked into the elevator, and pressed the number 1.

The moment the elevator door opened, a dozen people bumped into them head-on, struggling to carry a gleaming golden coffin into the hall of the museum.The pattern carved on the surface of the coffin is like the smile of the pharaoh, looking at him through the sunlight.The spiral texture was like a black vortex, exuding a terrifying mysterious power, trying to drag him into the endless abyss.Even though he had made enough mental preparations, Li Yunong was still in a daze.

Lying here is the mummy of the Pharaoh.

His mind was affected by it, as if his whole soul had been sucked away.When he came back to his senses, the golden coffin had already been placed in the hall, and he stood blankly in front of it for a long time.Memories surged again, just like the black beetle back then.

Li Yunong trembled all over, as if a golden mask appeared in front of his eyes...

"Toot! Toot!"

That night, Li Yunong made a long-lost phone call.In the long silent night, the busy tone of the phone rang in the empty office.He couldn't even remember how long he hadn't contacted his companion from back then.The short years we spent together that year are really nostalgic...

"Hey?"

On the other end of the phone, a man with a cigarette in his mouth answered the phone.

"Xiao Meng, it's me."

Li Yunong's voice was heard.The man was obviously taken aback, and the cigarette froze on his lips.No one has called him Xiaomeng for many years.Moreover, the other party's tone was indescribably familiar.Who is the one?The name fell deep in his memory, and he searched hard.

"It's me. Li Yunong."

This name flicked the smoke out of Xiaomeng's mouth. After 32 years, he heard the familiar name again.

"You are... Yu Nong?" After a while, Xiao Meng said softly.The young assistant who followed Professor Xia appeared in his mind.Since returning from Egypt that time, the few survivors have divided their things and no longer contacted each other.

Why now...

"Why did you call suddenly? What's the matter?" He had a very bad premonition.

Sure enough, the terrible name came out on the phone. "Because... Pharaoh Khufu is... back." Li Yunong's voice was a little vague, but each word was as clear as a bell, which deeply touched his nerves.

"What?!" Xiao Meng couldn't believe her ears.Did he hear wrong? "What did you say?"

"The pharaoh we met in the tomb back then is now in the museum." Li Yunong repeated.

"Damn! What's going on?!" Xiaomeng felt a chill in his heart, spreading like ripples in his body. After 32 years of calm, will there be waves again today?

"The pharaoh's tomb we entered was excavated by the Egyptian government a few years ago. Pharaoh Khufu reappeared in the world!" Li Yunong pushed the distant memories after many years to Xiaomeng's eyes.

Egypt, ancient tombs, pharaohs... The bandage-like nightmare once again entangled him, making him unable to breathe.

Could it be that this is their fate?Is the curse of Pharaoh impossible to get rid of in a lifetime?
"I'll go and have a look." Xiao Meng said this for a long time.

In the middle of the night, there was a faint light in the hall of the museum.The golden coffin was sitting in the dim light, as if quietly waiting for someone.It comes from thousands of years ago, but it still lingers with bright colors.That is the strange atmosphere exclusive to it, eager to tell people that there are some stories as old as it.

Come, faint footsteps sounded in the corridor.

The door at the top of the stairs opened, and Li Yunong led a man in gently.The man was holding a flashlight, and his arms were as muscular as ever.It's just that there are several wrinkles on the dark face.He was Xiao Meng back then.

They walked to the golden coffin and were silent for a while.Xiao Meng took out a cigarette and put it in his mouth.

Will the pharaoh really reappear?
His cheeks were tense and twitched slightly.A few lines of familiar ancient Egyptian text on the coffin lid came into view, and his hand that had just reached into his pocket to get the lighter trembled involuntarily.

It's it!

This is the coffin they found that year.Xiao Meng put the cigarette in his mouth back into his pocket.He couldn't hide the fear in his heart.

"Is the mummy of the pharaoh in there?"

Li Yunong nodded silently, and Xiao Meng's face turned pale.He stared at the coffin, as if looking through the thick gold surface, to see a bandaged body, arms folded and clasped to his chest.Years later, he could not forget the pharaoh wearing the golden mask.That was the demon that appeared back then.

The two stood beside the coffin silently, without speaking for a long time.Finally, Xiao Meng moved her slightly dry lips:

"That pharaoh's curse...do you remember?"

The surrounding area was completely silent, and Li Yunong didn't answer him.In the cramped air, they sensed each other's different emotions in a tacit understanding.It's not that I don't remember, I just don't dare to recall.

Since they escaped from the pharaoh's tomb by chance, the few of them went their separate ways like dandelions in the wind.For so many years, no one has contacted anyone, just because no one wants to be the switch to unravel the nightmare.

"Other people, have you notified?" Xiaomeng said.

"No." Li Yunong replied, "They all changed their phone numbers. Only your phone number has remained unchanged for 30 years."

"Actually." Little Meng said after a pause, "I know where the other two are."

"Yes." Li Yunong took the words, "Those two people, I also know their existence. After all, they are so famous, but, should we really notify them and let them fall into the terrible curse again?"

"I don't know." Xiao Meng said, "If the Pharaoh's curse really comes back to the world, no one can stop it."

"yes……"

Silence fell between the two of them again.They and the mummy of the pharaoh are quietly in the museum in the night, like a silent confrontation.After a while, Li Yunong suddenly spoke.

"Actually, there is one thing that I hid from you all those years ago..."

The curse reappears in the second quarter?

Just as Li Yunong was sitting in front of the office and meditating, the elevator door in the corridor ding-dong opened.A pair of exquisite high-heeled shoes stepped out in patchwork steps.It was a beautiful girl, with curly long hair hanging over her shoulders like seaweed, pure eyebrows and quiet demeanor, all exuding an intoxicating beauty.

Her name is Lianna.Li Yunong's daughter, 32 years old, is single and works as a tutor in the history department of Sun Yat-sen University.Like her father, she has a deep study of ancient Egyptian history.Tonight, she came here specially to pick up her father home.This is a habit developed over the years.Since her mother died, she was left alone with her father.But tonight, Father seems to have a visitor.When Li Anna stepped out of the elevator, she just passed by someone who walked into another elevator.A light smell of tobacco passed from the tip of the nose.It was a man smoking a cigarette and wearing a light gray hooded coat.

Taking a quick glance, she didn't see the man's face.

It was so late, who would come to visit father?

"Father, who was that person who just went out?" Li Anna pushed the door open, startling Li Yunong who was in deep thought.

"Oh, it's an old friend I haven't seen for many years." As he said, he sorted out the messy photos on the table.He didn't want Li Anna to interfere in this matter, but the mummy with the golden mask on the top was still glimpsed by Li Anna.

This should be the batch of priceless and precious cultural relics in the legend.Li Anna has long known that the Egyptian cultural relics will be exhibited in the museum, so she came here specially to see it first.

"Dad, what's the matter with you? You seem to be very worried." She noticed her father's expression was abnormal, and there was concern in his eyes: "Could it be because of these cultural relics?" She reached out and pulled out the photo of the Egyptian pharaoh.Li Yunong didn't have time to stop him, so he could only shake his head and squeeze out a wry smile.

Li Anna was quickly attracted by the mummy of the pharaoh in the photo.Studying mummies is every historian's dream.Li Anna is no exception. She is very curious about what methods the ancient Egyptians used to preserve the pharaoh's body so that it would not rot for thousands of years.
