  When I looked at him with a surprised expression, the coffin smiled slightly, turned the knife over and handed me the handle. I took the knife and stuck it into the ground, saying all the words in my heart:

  "You should tell me your true identity now."

  "Brother-in-law, it's not that I don't want to say, but I'm afraid you'll be in danger if you know too much."

  "If it weren't for your sister's face, I would have beaten you up already. My head still hurts now."

  "Come on, brother-in-law, hit me, I'll feel more at ease."

  "Come on, let's talk about the coffin. Otherwise, I won't allow you to go further in the future. I'll turn around and report to the police right away, no one will have a good time."

  "Hmph, brother-in-law, I guess I'm afraid of you now." The coffin also followed Pongpang and called out together, it seems that his defense line has been broken by me.

  "I said, we are dragon tomb messengers, in ancient times, we were directly under the jurisdiction of the emperor. Our tasks had two parts: one was to find excellent feng shui graves for the current emperor, and the other was to help the current emperor find the mausoleums left behind by nobles from previous dynasties. We only searched, once found, another group of grave diggers under the management of the emperor would excavate, also known as the famous four schools of tomb raiders nowadays. Later on, some of these people quit and started their own private businesses, causing chaos in the entire tomb raiding system, many treasures were secretly hidden among civilians, while the imperial family couldn't enjoy them. So with the development of time, we added 'collection' to our skills, also known as appraisal, putting those privately stored items back into the palace."

  "You are still eating royal food, which is now called civil servant."

  "It's almost the same, but it's just that kind of thing that can't be seen in public. The times are developing, and our technology is also improving, otherwise we will be eliminated. After the Eight-Nation Alliance, a large number of our national treasures flowed overseas, and the country was heartbroken. We should bring them back through proper channels, but it's not possible to do so illegally. A while ago, there was a hot online auction of beast heads, and we watched helplessly as they were taken away - didn't you feel anxious? At this point, the coffin burst out with a passionate and stirring enthusiasm."

  "Are you saying that these national treasures that will never return are now in your possession? Are you currently serving the government?" I sensed the severity of the situation.

  "Not bad, on the surface, one of us runs an antique shop and the other is a property manager in a residential area. In reality, we are members of the National Cultural Bureau's lost cultural relics recovery team, but we directly report to the National Security Bureau. This team is not recognized by the outside world. Because we use illegal means to retrieve those national treasures that have been occupied by foreigners, sometimes we will use some radical methods, all of which are secretly allowed."

  I couldn't help but be startled, the State Language Bureau and the National Security Bureau are two completely different places, yet they gave them dual identities. Everything I did was for the sake of serving the country, and I suddenly felt a sense of honor. But then I suddenly felt that something wasn't right:

  "Do you have your documents?" We are a country that emphasizes documentation.

  "Even if we gave it to you, have you ever seen one? Would you believe it's real? You still don't trust us, we've been through life and death together just now, I don't need to make up these lies to deceive you, whether you believe it or not is up to you." The coffin pulled out a cigarette that had already gotten wet and put it in his mouth.

  For a moment, I really couldn't accept it. No wonder, whenever they found something like the monk's robe and dagger, they would always come to me first. Whenever there was any danger, they would put me last. In fact, they were protecting me, an ordinary person. A small tomb raiding incident had been linked to a national background of such great significance, it was chaotic, I didn't know what to say or do, and now I finally felt how insignificant I was.

  "Brother-in-law, I know you can't accept it for the time being, so I didn't want to tell you. Our actions are all secret, and once our true identities are exposed, it means that our lives will come to an end, and you will also be implicated."

  Peng handed me a sausage, as if he had heard my stomach's lament.

  "So you're the ones who are robbing tombs with national permits? Then why are you looking for me, an ordinary person? You have the entire country backing you, yet you want to bully someone as insignificant as me. Are you happy about that?"
