Finally, the shadowy figure approached Sean.
Despite the blur, Sean recognized the person who had approached.
It's Lily.
Sean breathed a sigh of relief, but was soon confused again.
What is she going to do?
Just as Sean was wondering what was going on, what happened next was far beyond his expectations.
Lily reached out her slender hand and gently unbuttoned the first button on his shirt.
Sean stared in astonishment, momentarily at a loss for words.
Lily seemed to ignore Sean's surprise and unease. Her hands, slightly clumsy, unbuttoned Sean's shirt one button at a time until his entire chest was exposed to her.
Sean's breathing quickened, and his body tensed involuntarily due to nervousness.
He wanted to stop Lily, but because of that strange fragrance, he couldn't muster any strength and could only watch helplessly as Lily groped him—her fingers had already slid towards Sean's open collar, slowly probing inside, gently caressing his warm, firm chest.
Sean was completely stunned.
Lily didn't say anything either; the only sounds in the room were their disordered breathing and heartbeats.
A while later, just when Sean thought it was all over.
Lily moved closer and closer until she suddenly straddled his body.
And so, their two burning hot bodies pressed tightly together.
Sean's chest heaved violently as he felt Lily's fingers, like feathers, sending tingling, electric-like sensations through his body.
"Lily...we shouldn't...do this...your sister will...mmm..." Sean murmured, trying to say something to make Lily stop, but before he could finish speaking, Lily suddenly leaned down and covered his lips with her soft lips.
"Ugh...!" Sean let out a muffled groan, his whole body trembling as if he had been electrocuted.
Lily's tongue deftly slipped into Sean's mouth, licking and kissing the inside of his mouth, their tongues intertwining tenderly.
Meanwhile, Sean also noticed the look in his eyes.
Through those cold eyes, he recognized the person who was now lying on top of him.
It's not Lily... it's Vivi.
This puzzled him even more.
Given Lily's personality, it's somewhat understandable that she would do something so absurd.
But... in his memory, Vivi had always been a very traditional and conservative person.
She: How could that be?
Before Sean could continue thinking, he felt a chill rise from his abdomen. It turned out that Lily was pulling down her trousers with her other hand, revealing her long, slender legs.
Moreover, Vivi's body continued to slide down, finally stopping in Sean's abdomen.
Sean couldn't believe it had really happened.
Vivi actually... took the initiative...
A string of crystal tears slid down Vivi's cheeks. She wrapped her arms around Sean's waist and began to move slowly but passionately.
The Vivi that Sean knew was usually cold and aloof, and never easily revealed her feelings.
However, now, this usually aloof and icy beauty is crying and moaning on Sean's body, a sight that drives Sean almost crazy.
Vivi's signature long blue hair was soaked with sweat, sticking stickily to her cheeks and collarbone. Her usually cold eyes were now watery and flushed with passion.
Her lips were swollen from Sean's kisses, and her small nose was wet with tears, making her look exceptionally pitiful.
This made it easier for him to have a deeper conversation with Vivi. Looking at Vivi's smooth back, Sean had an urge to get cupping therapy.
It feels like seeing a blank sheet of paper and wanting to draw on it.
In short, it is filled with a sense of destruction towards beautiful things.
This is revenge.
Naked revenge.
He sought revenge for being drugged without his knowledge.
Sean was still reluctant to part with her; he buried his face in Vivi's hair, gently inhaling her fragrance.
"Hack... I'm so glad we met today..." Vivi murmured softly.
When Sean woke up again, it was already the next morning.
The warm sunlight streamed through the window and fell on his face, bringing a sense of comfort.
He slowly opened his eyes, adjusted to the light, and then sat up in bed.
He looked around and found himself in an unfamiliar environment.
He lay on a simple bed made of some kind of unknown animal hide, which gave off a faint leather smell; some earthenware household items were placed beside the bed, which looked very rustic; the walls of the room were made of rough stone, giving people a primitive and simple feeling.
Just as Sean was feeling somewhat confused, he realized that he had returned to ancient Egypt thousands of years ago.
Ancient Egypt... Lily... Vivi...
Sean seemed to have thought of something and quickly looked down at his body.
Contrary to his expectation of an empty room, he was wearing the same neat linen robe he had worn the day before.
Just as Sean was feeling confused, Lily came out from outside.
She was poised and confident, not at all as shy as Sean had imagined.
"Hack, want to have breakfast together?"
"Okay." Sean nodded.
After receiving Sean's reply, Lily turned and walked out again.
A short while later, she came in carrying two portions of food.
In ancient Egypt, whether rich or poor, the staple food consisted of bread and beer, accompanied by green onions and other vegetables, along with small amounts of meat, game, and fish.
Although these foods sound similar to modern ones.
However, due to processing issues, expecting it to taste particularly good is unrealistic.
The bread that Lily brought out looked quite appetizing.
But when Sean picked it up, he could still smell a faint sour smell.
He frowned and took a small bite.
The bread was hard and difficult to chew, and had no sweetness whatsoever.
Sean looked at Lily in front of him and saw that she had also picked up the bread and was eating it in big bites as if she didn't notice the sour taste of the bread, while occasionally taking a few sips of beer.
Clearly, she has completely adapted to and integrated into this kind of life.
However, even if you eat such food.
Her actions seemed somewhat different from before.
Sean couldn't help but glance at her carefully for a long time, trying to catch this subtle change.
As breakfast progressed, he finally pinpointed the source of this difference—elegance.
It's an aura that radiates from within.
It's just... what happened last night.
Lily's calm demeanor now made him somewhat doubtful whether what had happened last night was truly real.
It's just pure conjecture.
"What are you looking at?" Lily suddenly asked, her eyebrows furrowing.
"It's nothing, I'm just a little uncomfortable seeing you like this," Sean casually offered an excuse.
He explained softly.
"No wonder," Lily nodded in understanding after hearing Sean's explanation.
Although they hadn't seen each other for over a decade, in each other's memory, she had only been gone for less than a day when she suddenly changed.
This is indeed somewhat unexpected and uncomfortable.
But conversely, isn't this precisely the strangeness of time?
And so, breakfast ended in this rather eerie atmosphere.
After a quick clean-up, Lily looked at Sean and invited, "Shall I show you around?"
Sean nodded, readily agreeing, and followed Lily out of the room.
But after he left.
The animal skin blanket on the bed suddenly slipped off for some reason.
A dark red plum blossom bloomed in the center of the bed.
Ancient Egypt.
2560 BC.
Memphis.
Memphis, this ancient city, is surrounded by vast deserts and fertile oases. The Nile River, like a river of life, flows through the city, bringing vitality and life to this land.
Along the coast, verdant date palms and lush papyrus sway gracefully, creating a striking contrast with the golden desert in the distance.
As the sun sets, golden sunlight spills across the river, creating shimmering waves. The entire city seems to be bathed in a mysterious glow, a beauty that is breathtaking.
Memphis was the capital of the Fourth Dynasty of ancient Egypt, located in the southern Nile Delta, at the border of Upper and Lower Egypt, near the village of Mit Rasina.
In fact, Memphis was not called Memphis at this time.
The name Memphis originates from the pyramid named Mennefer, built by King Pepi I of the Sixth Dynasty.
At this time, the city should be called:
"You mean the high priest brought a man into the city yesterday?" asked a man dressed in a magnificent linen robe and wearing a crown inlaid with gold and jewels, whose appearance was somewhat strange.
"Yes, Pharaoh," another man replied respectfully, a hint of awe in his eyes. "That man was personally led into the city by the high priest. He was dressed very simply, but the high priest paid him great attention and even arranged for him to stay in the temple."
Upon hearing this, the Pharaoh frowned slightly.
Do you know his background?
"His exact origins are still unclear, Pharaoh." The man bowed his head, his voice tinged with apology. "But from what I've heard, that person... seems to be someone the High Priest brought back yesterday while he was building your tomb."
"Is this a special time?" the Pharaoh murmured to himself.
He remained silent for a while, as if he were thinking about something important.
Then, he slowly began to speak, "Continue the investigation. I need to know everything about this man. His background, his purpose, everything about him. Understand?"
"Yes, Pharaoh, I will arrange for an investigation immediately." The man nodded quickly.
"Very good. Remember, this must be done in secrecy, and not too many people should know about it." The Pharaoh's eyes sharpened. "I want to make sure this person's identity and purpose are completely clear, no matter who he is, where he comes from, or what his intentions are."
"I understand, Pharaoh." The man nodded again, then, as if suddenly remembering something, looked up at the Pharaoh and asked cautiously, "Then... will our festival tomorrow still proceed as planned?"
"The ceremony must proceed, of course. It is an important ritual for us to communicate with the gods, and it cannot be interrupted for any reason..." the Pharaoh continued, "As for the High Priest, send more people to watch her and make sure she... leaves."
The man patted his chest and assured him, "Please rest assured, I will personally supervise to ensure that the High Priest does not act abnormally."
"Very good, you may leave. Remember, everything must proceed according to plan."
"Yes, sir," the man replied, then bowed and withdrew.
The Pharaoh watched the man leave, feeling somewhat at ease.
He was looking forward to the ceremony tomorrow.
At the same time.
Sean was still following behind Lily as they strolled through the ancient city of Memphis.
The two walked through the bustling market and browsed the dazzling array of stalls.
It's hard to imagine that four or five thousand years ago, humankind had such a developed society.
And that's not all, let Lily tell you.
The First Dynasty established the Spartan administrative system (establishing a system of provinces and states), the Second Dynasty adopted the nome chieftainship system, the Third Dynasty adopted a hereditary monarchy, and now the Fourth Dynasty has a governorship system.
The political system changes in almost every dynasty.
The specific administrative divisions include the Chief Justice, secular courts, religious courts, and mixed courts of the two.
The process was even simpler and more convenient than the administrative procedures of the British Ministry of Magic that Sean was familiar with.
To avoid causing any further trouble, Lily disguised herself before going out.
The two of them strolled through the streets of ancient Egypt, and the feeling was... strange and indescribable.
Everything around them felt so real, yet so distant. They seemed to have become travelers in time, traversing to the heart of this ancient civilization.
Suddenly, Sean stopped at a stall. The stall was filled with all sorts of... miscellaneous goods.
There was grain, stones, and dried animal flesh.
Nishorn's gaze, however, was fixed on a stone slab.
Looking at the stone slab, he suddenly made a connection: his own stone slab.
Yes, that stone tablet was obtained from Thoth.
Could there be hidden information inside about their return?
But... what about that stone slab?
It seems he put it under his bed last night before going to sleep.
At that moment, Sean vaguely sensed several unusual messages.
His intuition was telling him this.
Someone... is following them!
While pretending to browse the goods at the stall, he glanced around out of the corner of his eye, trying to spot any hidden voyeurs.
However, with people coming and going on the street, he couldn't determine his specific target.
"Is there anything here that belongs to your wedding hall?" Lily's voice suddenly rang in my ears.
She noticed Sean was still playing with the stones on the stall, so she asked him a question.
Sean warned Lily, "Lily, we might be being followed. Be careful."
Upon hearing this, Lily's expression changed slightly, but she quickly regained her composure.
She nodded, indicating that she understood what Sean meant.
The two exchanged a glance and decided to continue on their way.
They walked through the bustling crowd, but the road ahead was completely blocked.
It seems like something happened up ahead.
