Meiman's Endless Skills

Chapter 264 Mummy

King Kong bought a first-class ticket, and it was no accident that he saw Ruth who boarded the ship at about the same time. As a noble lady, Ruth had to maintain restraint and etiquette with her family.

However, she still pretended to be curious and searched carefully.

A few days ago, King Kong told her that he would take the Titanic to the Big Apple City today, so King Kong knew that she was looking for him without accident.

Sure enough, a look of surprise flashed across Ruth's face when she saw him appear.

Her family was on the side, and King Kong wisely didn't go there, and went to the room he reserved with his luggage.

In order not to attract attention, King Kong deliberately used a little trick to make people around him treat him as an ordinary passenger when they saw him, and then subconsciously ignore his existence.

If Ruth hadn't been looking for him deliberately, and he had restrained his spiritual guidance to her when he found Ruth looking over, she wouldn't have been able to notice him.

Later, King Kong came to his room with a suitcase that was basically nothing but decorative.

Just checked it out, and I'm satisfied.

Not long after he got to the room and sat down, there was a knock on the door.

"come yet"

There was no surprise on his face, King Kong said in his heart, and then got up to open the door.

The door opened, and there was a woman in her 30s and a man in her 50s outside.

They certainly weren't Ruth, and they weren't his parents.

Strictly speaking, both of them are strangers to King Kong.

The woman is dressed as a nun, with a pious face, as if she is really a nun.

As for the old man, he seemed to be a priest with a gentle aura of holy light, presumably most ordinary people would be willing to confide in him.

From them, King Kong easily sensed a breath of magic
"Would you like to come in and sit down and talk?"

King Kong glanced at them, saw a hint of vigilance in their eyes, and said directly indifferently.

Although most of the passengers were busy putting their luggage in the room at this time, there were quite a few people in the corridor outside, which was obviously not a place to talk.

"excuse me."

So the nun and the priest glanced at each other, nodded slightly, and followed King Kong into the room after saying a word.

"According to our oriental etiquette, 'it is a joy to have friends coming from afar', which means that it is a very pleasant thing when guests come to the door, so if you think about it, you are also guests who can bring me good news ,Right?"

Not shying away from the gaze of the two, King Kong took out a teapot and three teacups casually, and his movements were as pleasing as flowing water. He poured out three cups of hot tea and asked the two to sit down while talking.

He felt no ill will toward either of them, so he didn't mind sitting down with them.

After the two drank tea, they first introduced themselves by name, and then directly explained the purpose of their visit.

The girl's name was Jenny, and the boy's name was John, which sounds like fake names, but King Kong didn't care, but he was very interested in their purpose.

They went straight to the point and said that they knew the identity of King Kong's superpowers. In fact, this is not a big secret. Not long after arriving in Eagle Country, King Kong found out that various extraordinary forces in this country were mixed. When he took the initiative to teach the troublemakers who came to the door, he showed his skills.

And then, as he'd been showing since then that he didn't intend to cause trouble, no trouble came.

He knew that it wasn't that there was no trouble looking for him, but that someone secretly stopped him many times in advance. If nothing else, it should be someone from the Eagle Kingdom's official organization of superpowers.

And then, the identities revealed by the two were also the official.

Immediately afterwards, the two spoke again.

To be honest, King Kong was even more interested after listening to them.

According to what John said, the next journey of this super cruise ship will not actually reach the Big Apple City, and there will be some problems on the way. They have already prepared corresponding countermeasures. This time, they are here to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings. , let him know in advance.

"This was an accident. When our people made arrangements, the person in charge of reviewing the crew list was a newcomer. He didn't know the identity of Mr. Jin, so he was negligent. I only discovered this after boarding the ship. Regarding this We are deeply sorry."

John said he was surprised, and directly blamed the newcomer.

King Kong half-closed his eyes and smiled, expressing that he didn't care, but he didn't believe John's gui in his heart.

If he wasn't from the future, knowing that the Titanic would sink soon, he would have been fooled by John's understatement and thought it wasn't a big deal.

In addition, if a newcomer neglects this kind of thing, he naturally does not believe it.

Because of this kind of thing, it is impossible to just hand it over to a newcomer for review, so they deliberately did this to let him board the ship smoothly, and then came to inform him, which obviously had another purpose.

If he didn't really feel that they didn't have any malicious intentions, King Kong would just hypnotize them.

The two deliberately said some good things to win the relationship, and then left. As for the discrimination and arrogance of the Westerners against the Easterners at this time, it did not appear on them.

In this regard, King Kong is not surprised. In this world, fists often speak after all.

A truly strong man will be respected no matter where he goes.

and.

In the eyes of ordinary people, the East is invaded and oppressed by Western countries in this era, but in the eyes of those with supernatural abilities who know the inside story, they will not underestimate the East.

In fact, if it were not for the recent intensification of internal conflicts in the East, the West would not have the opportunity to take advantage of it.

Closer to home.

Although the two talked a lot, they didn't reveal the inside story of the trouble they would encounter this time.

In this regard, when King Kong was on board, he sensed the special atmosphere on the ship, and after checking it out by the way, combined with a rumor from his previous life, he probably guessed something.

"A mummy with a lot of curses and grievances, so they plan to deal with this big trouble"

After the two left, King Kong sat on the sofa, but through the cabins, he saw the coffin wrapped in a pile of salted fish in the cargo hold at the bottom of the cruise ship.

To be more precise, it is the mummy in it.

In addition, there is another coffin on the ship that looks exactly the same on the surface, but it is placed in the captain's cabin.

However, although the coffin in the captain's cabin revealed some traces of witchcraft power on the surface, it was empty inside.

Not surprisingly, this should be a fishing bait.

After all, when King Kong was boarding the ship, he sensed the aura of extraordinary power, but not only John and Jenny. Although they hid it well, they couldn't escape King Kong's perception.

In comparison, the coffin in the cabin was sealed very well on the surface, and no breath leaked out.

Not surprisingly, this coffin is the center, or source, of the trouble.

King Kong is not very interested in the messy things in it, he is more concerned about the rumors about the coffin and the mummy inside.

This rumor came from the previous life, and in that world where no superhuman ability appeared, this matter was just a rumor.

Now, in this Marvel universe, King Kong knows that this is probably true.

This matter started when a professor who studied Egyptian history bought an unusual mummy from an adventurer.

According to the professor's research, this is a mummy with a history of 3000 years. It should be an ancient Egyptian princess, and of course some people think it is a queen.

However, that's not the point.

The point is that like many stories about mummy, the mummy's curse appeared very quickly. The adventurer got a check from the professor, but before he had time to cash it, he died strangely that night.

At first, the professor only thought it was an accident. Like many movie supporting characters who like to die, he followed the clues left by the adventurers and found the tomb of the mummy princess.

Then, a warning left by the predecessors was found in the tomb, which roughly means that anyone who trespasses in the tomb will be cursed.

The curse didn't happen immediately, until after a while, the professor himself had an accident. Although he didn't die, he lost an arm because of it.

Perhaps because of the brush with death, the professor subconsciously connected the two accidents with the so-called curse.

So, even though he still didn't want to believe it, he finally decided to go back to China to recuperate for a while, so he arranged for someone to send the mummy back to China.

It's just that the accident happened again at this time.

His two companions and two servants all died of accidents.

It may really be an accident that something went wrong once or twice, but when so many accidents happened one after another, the professor also began to believe that the curse was real.

This frightened him, and he planned to dispose of the mummy.

But he poured a lot of effort into this mummy, and he was reluctant to destroy or throw it away directly, and he couldn't guarantee whether it would attract a more terrible curse.

So, how to deal with this princess mummy has become a headache.

At this time, a friend of the professor heard that he was going to dispose of the mummy, and expressed his wish to take over.

It's not a close friend, the professor handed over the mummy to the other party without any psychological burden, and it's not like he didn't further verify the idea of ​​the mummy's curse.

Then the result was that shortly after his friend took over the mummy, a relative died soon, and the friend himself suddenly got a strange disease.

Under such circumstances, the friend wanted to return the hot potato to the professor, but the professor naturally refused without hesitation.

After some going around, the mummy was sent to the museum.

however.

The mummy's curse didn't stop there.

Not long after the mummy was exhibited in the museum, people died strangely one after another, which seemed to have a lot to do with this mummy.

Although curiosity will make many people want to go into the museum to watch, but in this era when science is not very developed and the study of ghosts is still popular, most people still hold back their curiosity.

The museum got into some trouble with the dead man, and then when tickets sold out, decided to get rid of the mummy.

However, no one wants to make a loss-making business. Destroying the mummy directly will obviously lose a lot of money, so the museum plans to find someone to take over the pot.

Finally, they found a collector in the Big Apple City across the ocean.

So, this mummy embarked on a journey again, this time across an ocean.

Of course, the mummy did not reach its destination in the end, because the ship that transported her was said to be the Titanic.

Now, King Kong estimates that the mummy on board is the one rumored in the previous life.

And from what he saw, it was indeed a mummy made of a woman.

just.

In this way, the problem arises.

Although King Kong didn't have a deep understanding of the Eagle Kingdom in this era not long ago, he can also perceive that some important cities are residing in powerful extraordinary forces.

Although the curse and resentment in this mummy are also very powerful, they should still be within the scope of solution, so why should they be transported out?
Was it really intended to be sold to some collector in the Big Apple?
Even if that were the case, even the collector was not ordinary, perhaps some magician or wizard with a knack for the dark arts, who could sell for a fortune.

However, why would there be a problem with the Titanic halfway? When the time comes, judging from the current position of the mummy, it will probably sink directly with the big ship.

Regarding this point, King Kong thought of a possibility that there was a conflict among the owners about how to deal with this mummy.

However, it is also difficult to explain why such a super cruise ship as the Titanic was sunk.

For a while, more doubts appeared in King Kong's mind.

Although if he had directly hypnotized John and Jenny before, most of the answers could be obtained from them, but in order not to make this journey too boring, King Kong did not do that.

He had a hunch that in the next few days before the sinking of the Titanic, as long as he waited patiently and paid close attention, he would get the answer.

That being the case, he doesn't mind watching a good show either.

Instead of staying in the room, King Kong secretly paid attention to the unusual auras on the ship, including John Jenny, and after finding nothing unusual, he came to the deck outside.

Here, many people have already gathered.

Undoubtedly, looking at the sea on such a super cruise ship is still different from other places. Most of King Kong's level is from the upper class of the Eagle Kingdom, and they are relatively reserved.

In the lower cabins of the cruise ship, many people were already standing on the deck at this time, facing the sea and letting themselves go, making all kinds of shouts.

Many of them did not do well in Eagle Country, and with dreams of getting rich, they planned to go to the other side of the ocean to chase their dreams.

At this time, each of them was full of passion and longing. Although many of them often looked down on the emerging country on the other side of the ocean, they had to admit that the land had begun to rise and was full of opportunities, unlike theirs. Like the motherland of China, it began to gradually decay and solidify.

It's just that they probably wouldn't have imagined that there would be a huge disaster waiting for them before they reached their destination.

And the vast majority of people before them did not have the opportunity to go to the other side of the ocean to realize their dream of making a fortune.
