[Mummy] hand in hand in the end of the world

1933 Cairo University, Egypt

Egypt in April is still in a state of semi-hibernation, and even so, the noon sun is still uncomfortably hot.

"Anna, I'm getting dehydrated..." A blonde woman staggered and hooked her companion, "I love Egypt, but I hate the Egyptian sun! Do you know? Every night I lose two catties than in the morning! "

"Haha, this is Egypt, you'll get used to it after another two years." Her female companion smiled, handing her a bottle of water.

"Oh, Anna, I love you so much. Why aren't you a man? I will definitely marry you." She raised her head and took a few sips, let out a breath, and turned her head to look at her roommate.

The girl called Anna had a true Egyptian appearance.Because of repeated mixed blood, even in Egypt, there are not many such looks.The dark honey-colored skin is tightly stretched on the pointed mandible, and the high bridge of the nose gives her a kind of arrogance even when she smiles.The most eye-catching pair of slightly slender eyes, the corners of the eyes are thinly outlined with blue lines, as if they are people walking down from the mural.

Tall and slender, wearing loose tracksuits, she does look gender-neutral at the moment.The girl tilted her head and smiled, and patted her hand on her arm: "Alluka, if I were a man, I would definitely not marry you. Look at your huge group of suitors, who would be against me?"

"Speaking as if I have no suitors." The blond girl gave her a blank look, and looked at her watch: "Oh, it's only 10 minutes until Mr. Haftz's lecture, let's hurry up."

The campus of Cairo University combines ancient Egyptian, Arabic and Western architectural aesthetic elements, which is very quaint.The two girls held hands and strode through the palm tree-strewn corridor, and finally entered the auditorium through the side door before the lecture.

A red banner was drawn in the middle of the auditorium: Welcome Mr. Haftz, Director of the British Museum, to give a speech.

Anna raised her eyebrows, and felt a little amused seeing the beaming expression of the headmaster standing on the rostrum.The Egyptian Pavilion specially opened in the British Museum exhibits collections that Egypt itself does not have.Now that the curator has come to Egypt to show off his research on the looted Egyptian national treasure, it is an honor for this side.She couldn't help thinking of the pain she felt when she saw so many Chinese collections in the British Museum.

"Anna! Alluka! Several girls in the same class waved to them, indicating that there are still vacancies here, and the two quickly bent over and slipped past.

"Today, I'm very glad to be here to discuss Egyptian semiotics with you." Mr. Hafz is a short middle-aged man in high spirits, wearing a local Egyptian linen shirt and a small round cap. He doesn't look very good Like the British.Anna closed her eyes slightly. She majored in medicine and minored in archaeology at Cairo University.I have to admire 'myself' for its exuberant energy. Here, she is exhausted every day.

"We all know that in 1822, Champollion successfully deciphered ancient Egypt based on the interpretation of the Rosetta Stone..." Mr. Haftz began his speech in English with a strong London accent.Anna's thinking has drifted away.Before she knew it, she had been in this 'world' for more than half a year.I also gradually despaired of returning to the original time and space.Anna's real name is not Anna.She clearly remembers that she graduated in 2010 and was dispatched by a Hong Kong-funded company to Nantong factory for commodity inspection.On the return trip, the company arranged for her and her colleagues to take the company's truck to save money.Unexpectedly, the truck not only arrived at the factory six hours later than scheduled, but the driver also drove with his four-year-old daughter on his body.She and her colleagues squeezed into the passenger seat, and it was already two o'clock in the morning when they passed Jiaxing Station. The little girl got tired of sitting, and suddenly threw herself in front of the driver, hugged his neck and acted like a spoiled child...

Anna raised her hand subconsciously and rubbed the center of her brow.After coming here, how many mornings, she thought she was still at home in Shanghai, and her parents were preparing breakfast in the living room.But when you open your eyes, everything is your own fantasy.Fortunately, she is not a whining personality.Wherever you go, life goes on.

This Anna was the second daughter of an upper-class Egyptian family.Her biological mother has passed away, and her stepmother has three sons.The way the father, who clearly has a patriarchal temper, shows his concern for his two eldest daughters is by giving money.When she first arrived, she was really taken aback by the astronomical figures in her bank account.Fortunately, the original owner was talented and intelligent, and extremely self-controlled, so he didn't become that kind of inconspicuous rich second generation.

Arabic, English, French, German, ancient Egyptian, medical terms... When she first came, she almost grabbed the ground with her head.Oddly though, she soon found herself overcoming the language barrier with ease.It seems that Anna's memory is at work.Sometimes she would flirt. If she could bring this ability to the original world, she would be a multi-national interpreter. Would she still have to live a miserable life of being exploited and oppressed?

"Anna, Ana!" Alluka reminded her softly.Professor Hafz has finished his review of Egyptian semiotics and came down from the stage to interact with the students.

The students in Egypt were very enthusiastic. Many raised their hands to ask the professor questions, and Hafz patiently answered them one by one.The atmosphere was warm and cheerful.But he did not put all his mind on academic communication.Hafz had a kind smile on his chubby face, but his eyes carefully searched among the students.This time, he is looking for...

At this time, a student raised his hand and asked, "Professor Haftz, does the legendary The Book Of The Dead really exist? Some people say that this book was discovered by an archaeological team eight years ago and brought back to England. Is it true? Can this book really bring people from the underworld back to life?"

Excited discussions erupted among the students, and Alluka said to Anna with a suppressed voice, "I've heard of this too! I was still in the United States eight years ago, and my uncle has always been interested in the mysteries of Egypt, because of his narration, I'm going to Cairo to study archeology!"

Professor Hafz's smile remained unchanged, and he replied: "Haha, this student's question is very interesting. According to my years of research, I think the Black Book of the Dead exists. It is a classic collection of Egyptian poetry. But Other rumors are still rumors after all, how could there really be such a thing as 'resurrection from the dead'?"

"No, yes!" Before Anna could react, she heard herself yelling, and it was still in ancient Egyptian!

There are two layers of impressions in her mind.The layer that belongs to her has a little memory of the Black Book of the Dead, but it seems to be just something in a certain story.another layer...

The dead rise up and sing the sun's praises to you, O La, to your astonishing ascent!You rise and shine and make the heavens roll aside.You are the king of gods and lord of all creation, from you we come and through you we are made holy.Your priests greet you at dawn and wash your heart with laughter; the holy wind blows through your golden strings with music...

Who, who is singing softly in his head, with such a solemn tone and sad notes?

The entire auditorium fell silent because of her cry.The headmaster sitting in the first row stood up, frowned and looked in the direction of the yelling, trying to find the black sheep.

"Anna, what's wrong with you?" Alluka asked in a low voice, shaking her friend's hand.

"It's okay, it's okay, since it's an exchange, it's normal to have different opinions." Hafz's eyes lit up, and he tried to maintain a calm face: "Then, can I ask the student who spoke just now to explain to us all? Do you have an opinion?"

The surrounding students all looked at Anna.But she was quiet, as if there was an instinct that made her unwilling to face the Englishman, she felt the danger.

Noticing the gazes of others, Professor Haftz slowly walked towards these rows...

"Sorry, professor, I said it." Alluka stood up unexpectedly, just in time to completely block Anna in the shadow, "I have loved Egypt since I was a child, and I have always believed in the mysterious power of the Black Book of the Dead. I even traveled thousands of miles to study here .I really find it difficult to accept your answer~"

She looks sweet, her voice is crisp, and she has the unique charm of little girls.After finishing the sentence, many people laughed.

"Really? It's no wonder that people who are obsessed with Egyptian culture will believe something..." Hafz looked at the girl carefully and said to himself: "Is it her?"European?impossible. '

The interaction continued, but the students behind found that Professor Haftz was a little absent-minded.

An hour and a half passed quickly, and the lecture was over.Anna took Alluka's hand and walked out through the side door through the crowd.Glancing back, Hafz and the principal were standing at the main entrance talking, and all the students going out from the main entrance would pass by them.

"Thank you, Alluka." Walking out of the building, Anna breathed out.

"You're welcome, but why did you react so violently today? And even if Professor Haftz knows it's you, it doesn't matter." Alluka came forward purely because she felt that Anna was abnormally afraid. She came from an upper-class family and was always favored. That said, he doesn't take a museum curator seriously at all.This kind of unconscious pride is also the reason why she can only play with Anna.

Her companion did not answer. When Alluka turned her head to look, she found that Anna had a rare look of sadness on her face, standing quietly with her hands on a palm tree.At this time, Alluka felt that Anna's profile was really beautiful.Not even the famous head of Nefertiti, the Egyptian queen, can match her beauty in repose.

Anna's heart was in turmoil.She 'used' to like Egyptian culture very much, it can be said that she fell in love with it as soon as she came into contact with it.Therefore, it is not surprising that there is an impression of the Black Book of the Dead in my mind.However, the original Anna seemed to have put a lot of emotion into this book, which made her act involuntarily.Does 'she' still stay in this body?

In the past six months, Anna felt that she had become two people, with memories of two lives and two experiences, although the one belonging to the owner was vague.So who is she now?Is it herself, or 'Anna'?

Tobecontinued……

The author has something to say: No, do you like this character design?

When I watched The Return of the Mummy, I felt that Ankasunam in the second part and the first part could no longer be regarded as the same person.

Ankasunam in the second part has a modern lifestyle, memories of his own, and so on.

Therefore, there has been a gap of thousands of years between her and Emerton.
