Chapter 93: The Scepter of Anubis



On this day, Du Yuqi was eating in the cafeteria again. While eating, he looked up at the TV in the cafeteria. Suddenly, he had an idea and saw the news anchor start playing the picture. At the same time, a voice-over came from the side:

"A special exhibition of E country cultural relics is being held in this city. A total of 87 precious E country cultural relics are on display, 11 of which are open to the public for the first time..."

After seeing this report, Du Yuqi, who was now rich, called the Taekwondo Gym and said he would not go. He then called a car and went straight to the Municipal Exhibition Hall. The Taekwondo Gym had difficulty recruiting people, so they could only watch and endure Du Yuqi's casual absenteeism.

After arriving at the city exhibition hall, Du Yuqi stared at one of the exhibits without hesitation! This exhibit was a scepter, the head of which was made into a dog head, with yellow and black stripes wrapped around it, and two dark black gems inlaid on the dog head. It looked majestic and had an indescribable exotic style.

However, Du Yuqi felt quite strange at this moment. He was clearly looking at the scepter and was extremely eager to get it, but after closing his eyes, he could not sense its existence, as if there was nothing in front of him.

Du Yuqi also felt very strange about this feeling, until he carefully read the instructions next to it and suddenly realized:

"Exhibit: Scepter of Anubis, the god of death." (Replica)

When he saw the word "imitation", Du Yuqi felt as if a row of crows flew over his head and he began to curse in his heart. He stared at the imitation silently for a long time and could feel an indescribable desire rushing through his heart. Then he nodded slightly and walked outside.

Next, Du Yuqi went online to investigate the details of this treasure and found out that it was a national treasure, similar to China's "Along the River During the Qingming Festival" and other rare treasures. No wonder people were deceived by using a fake.

This treasure was discovered in a tomb in the desert two years ago. All the members of the expedition team who found it died, so this treasure seemed to be shrouded in a veil of mystery and horror and was treasured in a museum in Nile, the capital of Country E.

"Nero?"

Du Yuqi pondered for a while. The political situation in Country E is very chaotic. Not long ago, it was invaded by foreign forces because of oil. The whole country was seriously damaged and divided into several major forces. It has only gotten better in recent years, but it is still a mess. The government is actually just the largest force. It is somewhat similar to the situation during the Xinhai Revolution in China. Therefore, various riots and terrorist attacks often occur. If you want to go there, you have to be very careful.

But soon, the arrogance in Du Yuqi's heart rose again. With the sword in hand, is there any bond in the world that he cannot break?

I simply searched online and made a phone call:

"Hello, travel agency? Are there any self-guided tours to Country E? Price is not an issue."

Two days later, Du Yuqi was already standing in the terminal of Nile International Airport in the capital of Country E. Du Yuqi tried his best to stretch his muscles. The fifteen-hour flight really made his back ache.

He had thought carefully before coming to Country E. On the one hand, he was attracted by the scepter, and on the other hand, he felt that he was too restless to do anything in school all day, so he decided to come out and relax.

It just so happened that Du Yuqi was taken to RB by her mother last year. The passport and other things were available. As for matters like visas, they could just leave it to the travel agency to expedite it. Isn't it just a matter of extra money?

As soon as the plane landed, Du Yuqi immediately felt something and could clearly feel that there seemed to be something in the distance. You know, Nile International Airport is fifteen kilometers away from the city!

If we make a horizontal comparison, the last time Du Yuqi encountered the "Candle Shadow and Axe Sound" porcelain fragments, he had to get within several hundred meters of it to sense it. This shows the importance of this scepter, and it was worth it for Du Yuqi to travel thousands of miles.

Of course, he had to admit that the last time he stood in front of Zhou Yang and dodged the bullets from the black muzzle of a gun gave Du Yuqi great confidence. After all, it was almost impossible for Du Yuqi to get the scepter through legal means.

Originally, the travel agency here did not provide free travel to Country E, but after Du Yuqi kept raising the price, they still met his request. At this time, the tour guide took Du Yuqi to the Fairmont Hotel where he was staying, checked him in for five days, and handed him the return ticket, and the deal was done.

However, the tour guide still had some professional ethics and told Du Yuqi:

"The E government has recently stipulated that tourists entering the country must carry more than 2,000 US dollars in cash, otherwise they will not be allowed entry. As a result, crimes against foreigners have increased by 400% recently. If it is not necessary, try not to go to places with few people, and it is best to return to the hotel after 5 pm."

Du Yuqi nodded, but ignored it. In his heart, he was quite glad that the public security was not good, because he was here to do bad things. The worse the public security was, the tighter the police force would be. Then, if he caused any trouble, the less pressure he would face.

Also, he discovered something even more wonderful, that is, because of the scorching sun here, people often cover their faces with veils or wrap their heads with scarves. In this way, they can cover their faces openly, making it even more difficult to recognize his face.

Country E was a British colony for hundreds of years, so English is the official language, and even the currencies are pounds and euros. Du Yuqi can have daily conversations easily, but when he went out the next day, he found that this was indeed a chaotic city, which could not be said to be consistent with its status as a capital. The traffic in the city is too free, traffic lights are invalid, zebra crossings are invalid, and traffic rules are invalid. The loose and chaotic traffic order makes this already crowded city even more bloated, and almost every bus is packed with people.

At the same time, the dilapidated streets and messy houses, the overcrowded vehicles and the dusty ground left a very deep impression on Du Yuqi. Along the way, there were innocent children who greeted you enthusiastically, but there were also vendors who kept sticking to you like flies that could not be driven away. There were armed policemen at scenic spots and main road intersections, giving people a feeling of extreme chaos and insecurity.
