Tarragon, clearly shaken, informs them a prophecy has come true: A lightning storm strikes the house and sends a ball of fire down the chimney and onto the mummy-which evaporates.

Tarragon is keeping Rascar Capac's mummy in his house and is being tightly guarded against any attack. Concerned, Tintin, Captain Haddock, and Professor Calculus go to stay with Calculus's old friend and only expedition member yet to be affected, the ebullient Professor Hercules Tarragon. The only clue is fragments of a shattered crystal ball found near each victim. They have a glass of aguardiente with the general who introduces them to his assistant Chiquito.A mysterious illness begins afflicting the members of the expedition one by one, they fall into a mysterious coma. They also view the act of Bianca Castafiore, as well as a knife thrower-whom Tintin recognizes is General Alcazar (under the stage name Ramon Zarate) former President of San Theodoros. There they witness an unsettling performance of a clairvoyant, Madame Yamilah who predicts the illness of one of the members of the expedition. The Captain, now a member of the aristocracy, invites Tintin to an evening at the music hall. The train arrives at Marlinspike Hall, the new home of his friends Captain Haddock and Professor Calculus. A man says to him, ' Think of all those Egyptologists, dying in mysterious circumstances after they'd opened the tomb of the pharaoh.You wait, the same will happen to those busybodies violating the Inca's burial chamber.'
