Chapter 010: Suspicion

Whether it was Wang Bo or Laura, when they came to this world, they brought nothing but the clothes on their backs. Naturally, neither of them had any currency of this world.

So the two of them could only scrounge for food and drink along the way.

However, in exchange, Wang Bo was willing to provide some information related to Hamunaptra.

"So, you know that place well?" Evelyn couldn't help asking after listening for a long time.

"I know more than you can imagine, Your Highness."

"Smooth talker!"

Evelyn shot Wang Bo a glare, her impression of him greatly worsened. However, she did not know that his address of “Your Highness” was not a flirtation but a revelation of her identity.

This world has gods, hell, and reincarnation.

And Evelyn's past life was that of the Pharaoh's daughter, a genuine princess.

Unfortunately, Evelyn herself was not aware of this.

"If you really know something about that place, I can help you with travel expenses." She hesitated for a long time before deciding to agree to Wang Bo's deal.

Wang Bo said confidently, "Trust me, you will definitely find it worth the money."

"Let's hope so."

In the end, he reached an agreement with Evelyn and her group. Everyone was satisfied with it, except for O'Connell, whose face looked sour—he felt that Wang Bo's address of "Your Highness" rankled him deeply.

At ten in the morning, the ship left the harbor and officially set sail.

The two, having paid the fare supplement, boarded the ship smoothly, and their cabin was right next to Evelyn's.

But Wang Bo did not return to his own room; instead, he stood on the deck of the ship, basking in the sunlight.

If it were in the original world, Wang Bo would definitely not have done this.

Because absorbing sunlight would make him endlessly stronger.

But in this world, to protect himself, Wang Bo had to become strong quickly—after all, this world was too chaotic—so he could only accept the sunlight.

At this moment, Wang Bo's body was greedily absorbing the sunlight falling from the sky, every cell undergoing earth-shattering mutations—no, it could not be called mutations.

It should be called evolution, for only thus can the changes taking place in Wang Bo's body be described.

Around noon, Laura came to the deck and patted Wang Bo on the shoulder. "O'Connor invites you to join him for lunch."

Wang Bo came to his senses, feeling full of energy, and nodded.

In fact, he was not hungry at all, but he knew very well that O'Connor's summoning him might not necessarily be for a meal; it could even be for something else.

“Let’s go.”

When he and Laura arrived at the restaurant, it was full of people. Some were unrelated passengers, but there were also some Americans.

This group of Americans had the same goal as them: Hamunaptra.

They also had a guide.

Wang Bo remembered that his name seemed to be Benny. This man had once been O'Connell's subordinate and, like O'Connell, had found Hamunaptra and was one of the survivors.

After returning, heaven knows what happened, but Benny was hired by a group of Americans and became a guide.

"Over here, over here." O'Connor, clearly still unaware of Benny's presence, waved vigorously as he saw Wang Bo and Laura walk in.

Wang Bo walked over and sat down. "Good afternoon, everyone."

Except for the warden, who was not present, O'Connell, Evelyn, and Jonathan had all arrived.

"What would you like to eat?" O'Connor asked.

"As you wish."

"And you, beautiful lady." O'Connor turned his head and asked Laura.

Laura smiled slightly and replied, "Just give me a salad and steak."

After O'Connor finished ordering, Evelyn said impatiently, "You said you know that place well. What I want to ask is, do you know what's inside?"

"I do know, but are you sure you want to talk about it here?" Wang Bo looked around and said with a faint, ambiguous smile.

Evelyn suppressed the excitement in her heart and nodded seriously. "Alright, after dinner, we'll go to my room. But you have to tell us everything you know."

She made a super fierce expression.

Very cute.

“No problem,” Wang Bo said. “I’ll tell you everything I know.”

Neither O'Connor nor Jonathan objected.

Soon after, the waiter served lunch. Wang Bo ate heartily, wolfing down several steaks in no time. The taste was not bad.

O'Connor's eyelids twitched. "I never imagined Easterners would eat with such gusto."

"I'm just a special case," Wang Bo said.

Compared to Wang Bo's wolfing down, Laura was much more elegant, putting small pieces into her mouth one by one. Her movements were pleasing to the eye, clearly showing she had received a good upbringing.

But Wang Bo was well aware that this was only the case for now.

After Laura transforms into a true Sailor Moon, manners and upbringing will eventually become things in the gutter.

After more than ten minutes, everyone finished lunch and moved to Evelyn's room.

Wang Bo carried a chair to a spot bathed in sunlight, sat down, and let the lazy afternoon sun shine upon him. Squinting his eyes, he wore an expression of enjoyment.

"Now, do you have any questions? I will speak of everything I know."

Evelyn asked impatiently, "What exactly is inside Hamunaptra?"

"Many things," Wang Bo said.

"Specifically?"

"For example, the Book of the Dead." Wang Bo said with a faint, ambiguous smile.

Evelyn couldn't help but jump up. "Are you sure?"

"I am quite certain."

“Terrific.” Evelyn pumped her fist. “I knew it, I knew it—there must be the Book of the Dead inside Hamunaptra. Is there a Book of the Sun as well?”

“Of course there is,” Wang Bo said. He knew very well that this woman preferred the Golden Sun Scripture to the Black Scripture of the Dead.

In the plot, she once said that it was because of the Golden Sun Sutra that she became fascinated with Egyptian legends and artifacts.

Jonathan couldn't help asking, "Is there gold in Hamunaptra?"

"Of course there is," Wang Bo replied.

Jonathan grew even more excited. "How many?"

"So much that it might take you months to empty out all the gold inside."

"Fantastic!" Jonathan imitated Evelyn's gesture, vigorously waving his fist. "I'm rich, I'm rich! I might become the richest man!"

O'Connor was paying attention to something completely different from the two of them. "I want to know if that godforsaken place is dangerous."

"Of course there are. Inside there are many secret passages and traps, dangers as numerous as the hairs on an ox. If you're not careful, you'll end up a corpse, sleeping forever underground."

"Are you sure?" O'Connor asked.

Wang Bo nodded and said, "Yes, I'm sure. I'm absolutely sure."

"How do you know all this? Don't tell me you've been to Hamunaptra too?" O'Connell was highly suspicious that Wang Bo had once been part of the expedition searching for Hamunaptra.

If not, then he is lying.

But O'Connor, seeing Wang Bo's confident demeanor, didn't seem to think Wang Bo was lying.
