Chapter 78 A good show

"Is he hiding or has he left the underground palace?"

Wes carefully explored every corner of the underground palace. The passage of the underground palace was dark and silent, with only his slight footsteps echoing in the air.

However, after a careful search, there was still no trace of Imhotep.

This made Wes sure that Imhotep had left the underground palace.

Then Wes also left the underground palace and went to Cairo. He drove the flying car, and the legend of the "Ten Plagues" emerged in his mind.

He was eager to see the legendary "Ten Plagues" with his own eyes and feel the shock brought by the power beyond nature.

Wes skillfully controlled the flying car, passing through the sky above the cities, and the scenery along the way flashed before his eyes.

He successfully arrived at the hotel before O'Connor and the others.

Not long after, O'Connor, Evelyn, and Jonathan rushed back to the hotel and saw Wes sitting leisurely in the hotel lobby waiting.

"Aren't you still in the underground palace?" O'Connor asked in surprise. O'Connor's hair was a little messy, and there were fine beads of sweat on his forehead. It was obvious that he was quite tired from running all the way.

But the next second, he didn't care about this problem, because at this time his mind was occupied by the idea of ​​leaving Egypt. "We must leave here as soon as possible. This place is too dangerous."

Evelyn had different plans. She wanted to stay.

"Are you crazy?" Not only O'Connor, but Jonathan also couldn't figure out what his sister was thinking.

"Didn't you see the mummy? Guns are useless to him!" Jonathan said anxiously. He looked at Evelyn worriedly, fearing that she would make an unwise decision.

Evelyn firmly believed that it was her fault to release Immorton. She wanted to stop all this from happening and make up for her mistakes.

The two kept arguing, and their voices became louder and louder, and their emotions became more and more excited.

O'Connor tried to convince Evelyn that the top priority was to protect herself and others, rather than risk staying in a dangerous place. However, Evelyn's stubbornness made O'Connor feel helpless.

In the end, they parted unhappily, and Evelyn returned to her room, feeling heavy as if a huge rock was pressing on her.

O'Connor and Jonathan came to the bar in the hotel, intending to have a drink and relax.

They sat in the corner, silently looking at the liquid in the glass. O'Connor frowned, and Jonathan looked confused. The two were silent, immersed in their own thoughts.

As for Wes, he was completely ignored by them again.

Wes didn't care about their attitude at all. He sat quietly aside. He didn't join their argument, but silently observed everyone's emotional changes.

The adventurers who had been to Hamunatta gathered in the bar at this time, celebrating their survival from that ghost-like place.

They talked and laughed loudly, and the glasses in their hands kept colliding with each other, making crisp sounds. The bar was full of laughter and joy. Everyone was sharing their adventures and proving to each other how lucky they were to have escaped.

Someone happily poured the wine in the glass into his mouth, but the next moment, he immediately sprayed the wine out.

"Puff~~" For a moment, the bar was filled with the sound of spraying wine, and everyone put down their glasses.

"What's this smell?" He frowned tightly, staring at the glass in his hand, and the wine in the glass exuded a strange smell.

"How can it be the smell of blood?" Another person said in horror, he trembled and put down the glass, his face turned pale.

O'Connor keenly noticed that the water in the fountain in the hotel turned into blood, and the red liquid flashed a strange light under the light.

Various shrill wailing sounds began to be heard outside the hotel. The people in Cairo were horrified to find that the river water had also turned blood red. The fish that had been swimming freely in the river died one after another. The river water exuded a disgusting stench and could no longer be used by people.

"Ten Plagues! Ten Plagues Have Come!!"

Huge hailstones suddenly fell from the sky, accompanied by the roar of thunder and the whistling of strong winds, like the hammer of judgment at the end of the world.

The hailstones were like cannonballs, ruthlessly destroying crops, houses and livestock on the ground. Pedestrians on the street panicked and looked for shelter, but the power of the hailstones was too amazing. Those who had no time to hide could only curl up in the corners or hide under the eaves, praying that the disaster would end soon.

Now, those who were still lucky had to believe that the legendary "Ten Plagues" really fell on their heads.

Weiss keenly discovered something unusual.

The scale of the "Ten Plagues" was limited to the city of Cairo. According to ancient records, the "Ten Plagues" should have affected the entire Egypt.

No mistakes, one post, one content, one 6, one 9, one book, one bar!

So far, only the "locust plague", "hail plague" and "bloody flood plague" have appeared.

Everything seems to be within the controllable range, and it is not comparable to the legendary "Ten Plagues".

The streets and alleys of Cairo are full of people kneeling everywhere. These people prayed devoutly to the Egyptian gods. Some old people knelt on the ground, clasped their hands together, and chanted something. Children hugged their parents tightly, and cried one after another.

Their chanting became louder and louder, gradually becoming one, impacting people's hearts wave after wave. Some things that could not be seen by the naked eye slowly floated into the air with their prayers, and then disappeared, as if being pulled by a mysterious force.

"Is this faith?" Weiss stood outside the crowd, observing all this. What exactly do these invisible forces mean?

Weiss felt more and more that Imhotep's resurrection was not accidental, but was carefully arranged. He recalled his previous experience in Hamunatta. Behind all this, there seemed to be a deeper reason.

During this period, Egypt was colonized by Britain, and its economy, culture, and faith suffered a great impact.

Britain's strong ships and powerful guns shattered the country's former self-confidence. Facing the powerful British army, their prayers were not answered.

The lives of the Egyptian people became more and more difficult. They began to doubt everything they once believed in, and everyone began to believe that the gun in their hands was the only power to protect themselves.

In this context, releasing Imhotep to cause natural disasters and harvest faith, is this the real purpose of the Egyptian gods?

Through these natural disasters, the gods seemed to be trying to arouse people's awe of ancient beliefs.

As for the people who died, the gods didn't seem to care.

"What a good show, Imhotep, O'Connor, and Evelynn are just pawns." Weiss couldn't help but sigh when he thought of this.
