Chapter 008: A Terrible Day

In fact, Laura did come out very quickly.

"Am I really just the female protagonist of a game?" she asked.

"Well, that depends on how you see it. Do you think of yourself as just the heroine of a game?"

"Of course not."

"That settles it," Wang Bo said. "If you think you're not, then you're not."

"That sounds very reasonable."

"Thank you for the compliment."

"No, I'm not praising you," Laura said seriously.

Wang Bo: ...

Ignoring Wang Bo's embarrassment, she continued, 'Although we come from different worlds, we are both time travelers, so we should be together, seek out the secrets, find the method of travel, and then return to our original world. What do you think?'

Wang Bo clapped his hands and said, "A clear analysis."

Laura couldn't help but laugh. Seeing Wang Bo's approval, she felt a surge of energy and said, "Then where should we start? Should we go back to where we crossed over and see if we can find any clues about what we have?"

"No, let's go find two people first," Wang Bo suggested.

"Who?" Laura asked.

“O'Connell and Evelyn.”

"Could it be that the two of them, like us, are also transmigrators from different worlds?" Laura's imagination ran wild. In her view, since there were already two transmigrators, why couldn't there be a third, a fourth, or even a fifth...

Wang Bo glanced at her, shook his head, and said, "No, they are both genuine locals."

As soon as Laura heard they were locals, she lost interest, but she still asked, "What do you want with them? Don't tell me they know how to get us back?"

"No, I want to stop them," Wang Bo said.

"Stop them? Stop them from doing what? Why should we stop them? Could it be that they're about to do something foolish?"

"Yes, I want to stop them from releasing a thousand-year-old mummy."

"Mummy? Are you sure?" Laura felt that Wang Bo was speaking more and more strangely.

"Of course I'm sure."

"How do you know they're going to release the thousand-year-old mummy? Didn't you just travel through time?"

"It's true that I've just transmigrated here, but I've seen the movie."

Laura couldn't help but pause. "You just said you've seen the movie."

“Yes.”

"You mean this world—in your world—is actually a movie." Laura wasn't stupid; Wang Bo had been so obvious, and given that she was the game's heroine, it was easy to guess the truth.

"Yes." Wang Bo nodded. He had never intended to hide it from the beginning.

"What the hell is going on?"

"I don't know either, but from my perspective, I can only say that after waking up from a nap, I found myself inside a movie I had once watched, and I even had a female protagonist from a game by my side."

Wang Bo sighed. He was also bewildered by this kind of start.

Laura: "..."

For a moment, she felt utterly exhausted and didn't want to speak.

Today was absolutely the most unforgettable day for her, because she was forced to accept many unbelievable things—such as being the female protagonist in a game, or entering a movie world.

If someone had said these things to her in the past, she would have been absolutely dying of laughter. But now, with reality right before her eyes, she had no choice but to believe.

"Can you tell me the plot of this movie?"

"Of course there's no problem. This film should start from around 2000 BC... Then I met O'Connell, the descendant of the Pharaoh's guards, in prison. He was rescued by Evelyn, the reincarnation of the Pharaoh's daughter. If nothing goes wrong, they will search for Hamunaptra tomorrow, and then... after Imhotep is resurrected, the ten plagues will descend... In the end, Imhotep will be sealed again."

Wang Bo spent about half an hour recounting the plot of The Mummy Part One in its entirety.

After hearing this, Laura became completely excited.

"Incredible, absolutely incredible. This world actually has gods, a mummy that has lived for thousands of years, the Book of the Dead that can bring the dead back to life, the Book of the Sun that turns the living into the dead, and the legendary city of the dead, Hamunaptra, which was said not to exist."

As a fledgling adventurer, Lara, having heard so many anecdotes, myths, and legends, felt the blood of her father's adventurous lineage already boiling within her.

"I must see the legendary Hamunaptra for myself."

She made a wise judgment with almost no hesitation. "You're right. We should stop Evelyn and O'Connell from releasing Imhotep, not just for our own sake, but to prevent him from destroying the world."

Wang Bo said, "I'm not as great as you; I'm just trying to save myself, that's all."

From beginning to end, Wang Bo never thought about saving the world.

He only wanted to live a peaceful life.

Although their purposes were different, the two still reached an agreement.

Stop O'Connell and Evelyn.

But before that, the two of them had to find O'Connell and Evelyn.

Wang Bo had already formed an idea about this.

The sky was just brightening as the industrious people of Cairo left their warm beds to begin a new day. Pedestrians on the streets gradually increased in number.

Wang Bo and Laura asked a few passersby and, after some inquiries, quickly determined the direction to the port of Giza.

In the end, the two arrived at the port of Giza just before the ship departed.

At this hour, the port of Giza was bustling with people; workers were loading and unloading cargo, and the entire dock was a scene of busy activity.

Wang Bo circled through the crowd but did not find O'Connor; however, he saw a beautiful woman standing in the crowd holding a suitcase.

This beautiful woman looked around, as if searching for someone.

Wang Bo's heart stirred at the sight of the woman's face, for she bore a resemblance to Evelyn from the movie, yet was even more beautiful. Thus, Wang Bo suspected that she might be the reincarnation of the Pharaoh's daughter.

She is also the female lead of the mummy storyline, Evelyn.

He came over with Laura, stood in front of the woman, and said, "Excuse me, are you Miss Evelyn?"

The woman glanced warily at Wang Bo and said, "Who are you? I don't know you."

Wang Bo couldn't help but laugh; clearly this woman was Evelyn.

He was about to speak when a balding man popped out from the side. "Hehehe, what do you think you're doing with my sister? I'm warning you, if you dare come near my sister again, I'll smash your face in."

Wang Bo was not offended either and said politely, "You must be Mr. Jonathan."

The man asked with a look of surprise, "Who are you? Do I know you?"
