Paul Boone and the others were greatly surprised to see Cao Kun casually summon a strange banner.
I wonder where Cao Kun hid such a large banner.
However, as seasoned Hollywood veterans who have seen countless magic shows, they weren't too surprised.
At this moment, Cao Kun shook the Ten Thousand Souls Banner and shouted, "Come out!"
Suddenly, a dark figure with indistinct features flew out from within the Banner of Ten Thousand Souls.
Cao Kun picked up a handful of sand from the ground and instructed, "Absorb as much of the aura from this sand as possible."
Without hesitation, the dark figure began to fly around the restaurant.
After circling around, it returned to Cao Kun's side.
Paul and Boone, who hadn't thought anything was strange just moments before, suddenly turned pale and stammered, "What...what...what is this?"
Cao Kun did not answer them: "Guard this place well."
After uttering those words, Cao Kun jumped directly from the shattered window.
Paul Boone immediately went to the window to check, and saw Cao Kun land steadily on the ground and disappear into the night at an extremely fast speed.
"This is the third floor!"
Paul Boone exclaimed in surprise, "Are you sure there's no mat underneath?"
Stefan looked on incredulously: "Is this even human?"
“I suddenly feel that those 5 million were well spent,” Jill Shaw said as he walked over.
More people came to the window, all looking shocked.
They suddenly felt a strong sense of security.
…………
Cao Kun, who had gone far away, could no longer hear the conversation of the crowd.
Arriving at a crossroads, Cao Kun flipped his hand, and a small wooden figure appeared in his hand.
This little wooden figure is made of ancient, submerged wood.
Such wood is extremely effective at warding off evil spirits, and it can be used without any hindrance when employing spells or curses.
Cao Kun raised his hand and tapped the wooden figure on the head, and the wooden figure actually opened its mouth.
Cao Kun raised the wooden figure and instructed the shadowy figure, "Exhale the energy you absorbed."
The shadowy figure didn't open its mouth, but the little person's mouth kept opening and closing, as if it were swallowing something.
After a moment, the wooden figure stopped moving.
Cao Kun pointed and said, "Stabilize your spirit and control your soul, heed my command! Pursue!"
A magical thing happened: the little wooden figure's feet began to move.
However, because it was held in Cao Kun's hand, it did not actually go out.
Cao Kun shook the Ten Thousand Souls Banner: "Blair, come back."
The dark figure immediately flashed and disappeared into the Ten Thousand Souls Banner.
Yes, this shadowy figure is Blair's spirit.
However, since it is not a ghost, it does not have many abilities.
However, it is still possible to absorb the aura of other yin entities.
After putting away the Ten Thousand Souls Banner, Cao Kun followed the direction the wooden figure had taken.
That's right, this little wooden figure was a cursed object specially made by Cao Kun.
Inside, there are two amulet coins, which serve as the source of the amulet.
Once you collect the target's aura, or an item with that aura, you can use it to cast a curse.
Cao Kun did not force his opponent to retreat as he had done with Annabelle.
Because this high priest, even if she's not at full strength, is still much stronger than Annabelle.
If you fail to control the other party and they become wary, they may be able to escape.
It would be better to quietly follow them and catch them off guard.
Cao Kun ran swiftly through the darkness.
Having reached the fifth rank of the Evil Platform, his physical strength was frighteningly strong.
Its instantaneous speed can even exceed that of a car.
However, it cannot last.
But as long as that thing isn't constantly moving, Cao Kun will definitely be able to catch up.
We chased them for over an hour, and it was already past 4 a.m., not far from dawn.
At this moment, Cao Kun noticed that the wooden figure was moving at a slower pace.
This means that you are getting closer and closer to the other person.
At this moment, Cao Kun appeared in an abandoned ancient city.
Most of what's written here is in Arabic, with a few hieroglyphs occasionally appearing, none of which Cao Kun recognizes.
But Cao Kun knew that this should be the ancient city of Thebes.
Between 2,000 and 3,000 years ago, this was the religious and political center of ancient Egypt.
It was an unparalleled capital city, known as the capital of a hundred gates.
But now, all Cao Kun sees are broken walls and ruins everywhere.
However, one can still vaguely see the splendor of more than 2,000 years ago from some of the still-standing buildings.
However, Cao Kun is not in the mood to appreciate these things right now.
He simply followed the direction the little wooden figure was moving.
After walking for another ten minutes or so, Cao Kun actually found a hole in a corner of a wall.
Cao Kun hesitated for a moment, then plunged inside.
The entrance to the cave was initially very narrow, with no path at all, and Cao Kun got covered in dust.
But the further down you go, the wider it becomes.
After walking several dozen steps, a large hole suddenly appeared in front of them.
Inside the cave, several lamps, made of some unknown material, burned dimly, barely allowing one to see what was inside.
In the middle of the cave, there is a stone platform, and on the platform lies a skeleton.
The shadowy figure that had appeared earlier was lying next to the skeleton, holding it tightly in its arms.
Cao Kun immediately realized that this skeleton was probably Anshunam from the movie, the pharaoh's concubine.
Suddenly, the dark figure looked up and stared at Cao Kun.
He made a hoarse sound and said something.
There was a hint of surprise in his tone.
Cao Kun couldn't understand at all, so he said in English, "Can you speak English?"
The shadowy figure seemed somewhat bewildered and switched to another language, but it wasn't English.
Cao Kun thought to himself, "Something's not right. In the movie, the high priest speaks fluent English."
But then I thought, movies are movies, and reality is reality.
Once this horror becomes reality, this absurdity will be corrected.
For example, when the high priest died, English had not yet been invented.
He can't speak a damn English.
What about Chinese?
Cao Kun tried switching to Chinese: "Do you speak Chinese?"
The dark figure paused for a moment, then said in heavily accented Chinese, "You've finally switched to a language I can understand."
Cao Kun was both surprised and delighted. This high priest could actually speak Chinese. This was unbelievable!
However, his pronunciation is strange and quite different from standard Mandarin.
Cao Kun had to strain to understand even a little bit.
Cao Kun suspected that the high priest had studied ancient Chinese from more than 3,000 years ago.
The pronunciation of Classical Chinese at that time was quite different from that of today.
Cao Kun had to listen and guess to roughly understand what the other party meant.
However, this is still better than the ancient Egyptian language, which is completely incomprehensible.
Cao Kun didn't speak classical Chinese, so he continued to speak Mandarin. Fortunately, the other person seemed to understand: "What did you just say?"
The shadowy figure's voice was already unpleasant, like his throat was full of sand, and the strange accent made it sound even more awkward.
He repeated what he had said earlier in Chinese: "I didn't expect you to catch up so quickly."
Cao Kun thought for a while before he roughly understood what he meant and asked, "Are you Imhotep, the high priest of that pharaoh from more than 2,000 years ago, or more than 3,000 years ago?"
The figure in the shadows was taken aback: "You actually know my name?"
