Seth, the Egyptian God of Death
"I believe she is the legendary princess who, according to hieroglyphs, murdered her father."
Nick asked in surprise, "Murder?"
"Yes, he was killed along with his father's children."
"She made some kind of deal with Death God, and then when I saw the Crow on the plane, and that sandstorm..."
Seeing Nick's distracted expression, Jane continued, "Whatever I'm trying to say, everything that's going to happen is happening."
"What I don't know is, how are you still alive?"
"I'm sorry, Nick, I think we've angered God."
However, while Jane was speaking, Nick saw Vail beside him saying, "You, come with me!"
It was as if no one else could see Vail except himself.
Nick thought for a moment, then said, "Mind if I excuse myself for a moment?"
I'll be right back.
Regardless of Jane's reaction, Nick followed Vail toward the bathroom.
Seeing Nick's unusual behavior, Jane immediately picked up the phone and dialed a number after Nick left. "Hello, please speak."
"I'm Jane, pick up Henry Jekyll for me." (Chapter 517, United Kingdom Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.)
In the British S.H.I.E.L.D. office of S. H. I. E. L. D., a bespectacled man answered the phone.
"Jane."
Jane began, "This is a more serious problem than we thought; something has happened."
"Nick has miraculously come back to life, and he has no injuries whatsoever. The search and rescue team said that when they found his body, he was already lifeless."
"Henry, I'm very worried about him."
Henry said calmly, "Take this soldier to London, but don't have much interaction with him."
"Clear?"
At that moment, two men dressed in Black Cloak with Red Clouds were sitting at a table next to Jane's.
The two were none other than Santai Hidan and Suzaku Itachi Uchiha.
The two men's strange attire and Hidan's weapon didn't arouse any suspicion among the people in the tavern, because Itachi Uchiha had already used Genjutsu to New York everyone else's senses.
Itachi Uchiha looked at Hidan and asked, "Do you know that Death God Set?"
Hidan leaned back in his chair, looked up at the chandelier on the ceiling, and said, "That's the Egypt Death God of death. How would I know?"
"I worship Jashin, Lord Charlotte."
"I've barely heard any of the legends about these local deities, let alone know anything about them."
Hidan then sat up straight and looked at Itachi Uchiha, saying, "Suzaku, that Dagger of Set they were talking about is the real treasure that will be useful to Lord Charlotte, isn't it?"
"Presumably, a treasure like the Death God Dagger is what Lord Charlotte truly needs."
"As for the Stone Coffin you put away earlier, it's probably of no use."
Itachi Uchiha looked at Hidan expressionlessly and said, "Just bring the Dagger of Set to Lord Charlotte; everything else is unimportant."
"How do we find it?" Hidan asked.
"Just follow her, I believe they will bring the Dagger of Set to us."

Nick then went to the restroom, looked around, but couldn't find Vail anywhere.
Finally, I saw Vail's reflection in the Living Mirror by the sink.
What are you doing here?
Vail chuckled and said, "Jane seems like a nice person."
Nick closed his eyes and muttered, "This isn't real."
Vail laughed and said, "I mean, it's really good."
Nick opened his eyes, looked at Vail, and said, "That's enough, stop talking."
Vail looked at Nick and said, "You should know that I always thought I had a chance to be with her."
Nick asked in surprise, "What?"
"How could you waste this opportunity?" Vail continued.
Nick still thought he was hallucinating and began to analyze the situation for himself, "There's mercury and poison gas in that tomb..."
"How did you manage to mess this up?" Vail shouted.
Nick continued, "They made me hallucinate."
"No, that's not it!" Vail shouted.
"You shot and killed me."
Upon hearing Vail's words, Nick paused for a moment, then walked to the other side of the Living Mirror and pointed at Vail, saying:
"Wait, wait, wait... it's you..."
"You are Vail."
However, when Nick walked to the other side of the Living Mirror, he still couldn't see Vail. At that moment, Vail appeared where Nick had just been standing.
Nick made a dagger-wielding gesture towards Vail across the Living Mirror: "You, you stabbed Colonel Greenway."
"I saved you, but you killed him."
However, Vail said to Nick, "You're the one who shot and killed me."
Nick yelled back, "But you want to kill me, and you even want to pursue Jane!"
"You fired three shots at me."
"Three Guns, Nick."
Nick clapped his hands and said, "Yes, the third shot was unnecessary."
"You scared me! I was so nervous. I apologize, okay?"
"Not good."
"Look at me, look at my face. I'm cursed, Nick, and you're cursed too."
"There is only one way to break the curse: you must do what she wants you to do."
"Otherwise, we'll both be in a much worse situation."
Nick looked confused and asked, "What do you mean by saying I'm cursed?"
How do you think you survived the plane crash?
"Extend your hand; you should understand what that means."
"You're part of her plan, Nick."
"A plan?"
"You can't escape, you have nowhere to run..."
Nick looked at the strange lines that had appeared on his palm and angrily ran out of the back door of the bar.
However, as soon as Nick arrived at the back street of the bar, he sensed something was wrong. Suddenly, countless rats appeared on the ground, crawling towards Nick and jumping onto him.
Suddenly, a Mummy, resembling a zombie, appeared among the rats and walked towards him.
Seeing this sudden turn of events, Nick prepared to run into the bar, only to find that the back door was impossible to open.
Nick tried to walk in another direction, but countless rats crawled onto his body and knocked him to the ground.
Just as the Mummy was about to attack him, he was suddenly pulled to the side of the road by Jane.
The Mummy in front of him had turned into a car, and just now, he had almost been hit and thrown off by the car.
The driver yelled, "Get out of here, you idiot!"
Jane looked at the man she had pulled to the side of the road and shouted, "Nick, what are you doing?"
Nick looked at the streets, now back to normal, somewhat bewildered, then turned to Jane earnestly and said, "I think you're right, we angered God."
Jane saw Nick finish speaking, but remembering her conversation with Henry, she said, "Wait, what?"
Nick raised his hands and said, "I saw her, the woman in the coffin."
