Chapter 93 The situation is very serious.

really.

Cao Kun just guessed that something had happened to "The Mummy".

Judging by the timeline, filming for "The Mummy" should have started nearly a month ago.

Sivis added, "It was originally Paul Boone who was supposed to call you, but he said he had offended you last time and was too embarrassed to call you, so he asked me to do it."

"Master Cao Kun, considering our fairly good working relationship, please lend a hand and save them."

Cao Kun: "What's the situation over there? Have any people died?"

Sivis sighed: "Five people died."

"ah!"

Cao Kun was taken aback: "So many?"

This was something he really hadn't expected.

Cao Kun's tone turned serious as he said, "If that's the case, then this matter is very dangerous."

Sivis put it very nicely: "That's why we asked Master Cao Kun to step in."

Cao Kun: "Don't give me that. How much are you going to pay me?"

Sivis: "Didn't you ask for $3 million last time, Master Cao Kun? They agreed."

"Oh……"

Cao Kun sneered: "That was the price back then. The current danger has far exceeded my expectations. That price is now invalid."

Sivis fell silent.

Cao Kun could easily imagine that this guy was probably scratching the bald spot on his head right now.

After a moment, Sivis asked, "Master Cao Kun, how many do you plan to take?"

Cao Kun: "5 million US dollars."

Personal relationships are personal relationships, and business is business; Cao Kun will absolutely not be polite to Sivis.

Because that's what that old guy did too.

The production cost of The Mummy was $80 million.

A month has passed, and at least half of it has already been spent.

They can't just give up for 5 million.

Sivis remained silent for a long time before speaking again: "I have agreed on their behalf. To avoid any further accidents, Master Cao Kun, please set off as soon as possible."

The next day, Cao Kun boarded a plane and flew to Egypt.

In fact, Cao Kun had also considered whether or not to take the risk for $5 million.

After all, according to ancient Egyptian mythology, the high priest was the legendary sun god.

It holds the power over the sun.

But after careful consideration, Cao Kun felt that it was impossible to actually bring the sun god into reality.

First of all, whether gods exist in this world is still unknown.

Even if they existed, it wouldn't be so easy for them to enter the human world.

Didn't you see that even a being resembling Satan needs a large number of souls to descend upon the world?

Even if the sun god isn't as strong as Satan, he shouldn't be too bad.

Such a powerful being shining directly into the human world—wouldn't that cause chaos?

This human order must not collapse at any moment.

Secondly, this is horror coming to life.

It's not a divine intervention in reality.

The identity of the high priest, the sun god, is not mentioned in the film.

He is a terrifying villainous boss.

No matter how strong they are, they are not as strong as gods.

Cao Kun even speculated that the high priest in reality might not be as powerful as the one in the movie.

Of course, that's just speculation.

The Mummy was filmed using a combination of real locations and constructed sets.

The main filming locations were Egypt and Morocco.

The film crew is currently divided into two groups, filming simultaneously in Egypt and Morocco. The accident occurred on the Egyptian side of the set.

After getting off the plane, in the airport terminal, Cao Kun saw that the person who came to pick him up was none other than Jill Shaw from Allianz Insurance.

Even in Egypt, this person was always dressed in a professional suit.

He just had a long face and seemed a little absent-minded.

It wasn't until Cao Kun walked right up to him that he realized what was happening and quickly put on a smile: "Master Cao Kun, it's so good to see you, we're saved."

Cao Kun didn't offer any sarcastic remarks or smugness. He simply nodded, followed the man out of the airport, and got into their car.

On the way, Cao Kun asked, "How's the situation now?"

Jill Shaw said bitterly, "Six people have died, we dare not start work again, and now everyone is staying in hotels."

"Wait a minute," Cao Kun said, "Aren't there five people?"

Jill Shaw: "Yesterday was five days, and another one died today."

“Okay.” Cao Kun asked, “Where is your security consultant?”

Jill Shaw: "Also... also dead."

Cao Kun: "Is he one of the six?"

Jill Shaw: "Yes."

Cao Kun wasn't too surprised by this answer.

If the Mummy were to become a reality, the main boss in it, the ghost of the high priest, would be quite powerful.

Ordinary exorcists simply cannot handle it.

In fact, Cao Kun himself was not 100% confident.

Even if he is defeated, he is confident that he can escape unscathed.

Cao Kun asked, "How did they die?"

Jill Shaw: "I'm not too sure about the specifics. I wasn't here before; I only recently came."

Cao Kun thought about it and agreed.

It's impossible for an insurance company executive like Jill Shaw to be personally overseeing a film set all the time.

Such tasks are handled by the professionals under their command.

Cao Kun stopped talking and looked out the car window.

Now, they are heading to Thebes, Egypt, a journey of several hours.

It was already past 8 p.m. when the car arrived at the hotel.

Upon entering the hotel, Jill Shaw, despite having no appetite, still instructed the restaurant to prepare dinner immediately.

Jill Shaw was worried and barely touched dinner.

Cao Kun ate quite a lot.

Egyptian barbecue suited his taste perfectly.

After eating and drinking to their hearts' content, Cao Kun followed Jill Shaw to the 15th floor of the hotel.

The film crew booked five floors of the hotel, from the 11th to the 15th, all occupied by members of the "Mummy" crew.

Another part was filmed in Morocco, and was overseen by an assistant director.

As soon as the elevator doors opened on the 15th floor, Cao Kun saw two people standing at the entrance.

One of them was Paul Boone, whom we haven't seen in a long time.

The other person was a middle-aged white man in his thirties.

This person is tall with a high hairline, and has an average appearance with no particularly outstanding features.

Cao Kun felt that the person looked familiar, but couldn't remember who he was for a moment.

Paul Boone's expression was the same as Jill Shaw's before; he was so anxious and agitated that his lips were covered in shiny blisters.

“Master Cao Kun, you’ve finally arrived.” As soon as Paul Boone opened his mouth, a foul odor wafted out.
