Volume 1 Jin Dynasty Ancient Tomb Chapter 11 Conspiracy Emerges

  The cat crouched down and ran all the way, finally seeing the exit. The first thing I smelled was a pungent insecticide smell. Liu Wei and others were standing at the exit with flashlights in their hands, and I quickly jumped out.

  A series of "ding-dong" sounds came over, followed by a beam of flashlight shining from afar.

  Seeing me slightly stunned, Liu Wei said "That's Zhu Baozi."

  The flashlight's beam was getting closer and closer, and I also heard Zhu Baozi's voice "What's going on? Where did so many dead people come from." When he approached me, I found that he was holding a bone in his hand, which was somewhat blackened, probably poisoned to death.

  "Where did you pick it up?" Liu Wei asked.

  Zhu Baozi casually threw the bone away and said, "There's a bit in this stone room, but there's more in that passageway with murals on the walls up ahead."

  After he finished speaking, we also turned on our flashlights and found that there were many skulls in the stone room. It seemed that time had passed for a long time, and they all looked like soldiers because they were all wearing rusty armor.

  I crouched down and picked up a helmet, looked at it for a while, and said "This should be the armor of the Tang Dynasty."

  "Tang Dynasty?" Zhu Baozi asked doubtfully "Are you sure it's Tang Dynasty."

  I nodded "Shouldn't be wrong."

  Zhu Baozi took out his flashlight and shone it around, saying "Look, these places are obviously used for storing things, but unfortunately they've all been moved away. The Tang Dynasty armor is valuable enough, why didn't they take it away?"

  I stood up, threw the helmet to the ground, and patted my hands, saying "It can only be explained that these soldiers came to rob the tomb. At that time, armor was worthless, so they wouldn't take it away."

  "What, you're going to rob a grave?" Zhu Bajie sneered.

  I raised an eyebrow, disliking the tone of doubt he used when speaking to me. I said coldly, "What's so strange about a soldier robbing a grave? Cao Cao still has his Mojin School Lieutenant."

  "Alright, now is not the time to talk about this, hurry up and find the master bedroom." Matsuda said impatiently, as if he didn't care about the valuable armor on the ground.

  "Mr. Matsuda, you must be careful now, look, so many people have died, I'm afraid there's a rice ball!" Liu Wei said with a flattering tone.

  "Kojirō is following me." Matsuda turned around and instructed another Japanese man.

  "Hai." Kojirō drew a Japanese sword and grasped it in his hand.

  Liu Wei turned on his flashlight and stepped forward, saying "I'll lead the way."

  In my heart, Liu Wei is a very cautious person, he shouldn't have gone to do something as dangerous as this! Suddenly, Shi Tou stepped forward and whispered in my ear "Give me the mirror."

  I handed him the mirror and asked, "What's wrong?" Shi took the mirror and suddenly turned on his flashlight to shine it on the mirror. A white light flashed by, piercing my eyes in the dark environment, forcing me to close them quickly. When I opened them again, Shi had already turned off the flashlight and said to me, "There's someone above, be careful."

  After hearing Shi Tou's words, I pulled him and ran to the front of the team, closely following Liu Wei. I didn't believe he would lead us astray for no reason.

  "Ah." Then a miserable cry, when we turned back and opened the flashlight, we only saw the thin monkey lying on the ground, as if something was pulling him backwards. His hands were placed on his neck, unable to make a sound. The distance was too far, and the light of the flashlight was not enough, so we couldn't see what was pulling him.

  "Watch out for the dumplings." Liu Wei fired two shots with a loud bang.

  "Chase." Zhu Baozi's courage was quite large, carrying a handgun and chasing after him. I had no choice but to follow behind, but the thin monkey was pulled into the thief cave we just came out of. This not only made me break out in goosebumps, but also reminded me of the long-haired person I saw in the thief cave. Thinking about the thin monkey being dragged inside, it sent shivers down my spine.

  The entrance of the cave, Zhu Baozi also stopped, he didn't have the courage to chase into the cave, after all, the place was too dark and narrow, his body couldn't move freely either.

  "Alright, let's go! Be careful." Matsuda didn't want to waste any more time.

  Zhu Baozi stomped his foot and could only reluctantly give up. As he turned around, taking advantage of the flashlight's beam, I suddenly saw the double-barreled shotgun that Shou Hou had been holding earlier lying on the ground. Seizing the opportunity when they weren't paying attention, I took a small step to the side and ran over to pick it up. Just as I touched the shotgun, I suddenly felt my left foot being tied up, and a huge force pulled me down, dragging me towards the thief's hole. I couldn't help but let out a loud shout, pulling out the military shovel from my waist and stabbing it into a nearby brick seam with great force. However, in the chaos, the shovel wasn't able to be inserted very deeply, and the force behind me was too strong, so I probably wouldn't be able to hold on for more than a few seconds. Just then, a black shadow flashed by my side, followed by two loud "ka" sounds, and the force on my leg suddenly disappeared. Shi Tou walked over and helped me up, whispering in my ear, "It was a rope."

  I immediately realized that this was probably a premeditated murder, obviously man-made.

  "How is it?" Liu Wei and others also ran over.

  I stood up and patted myself all over, saying "It's nothing, it's nothing." After that, I picked up the shotgun again.

  "What did you see?" Liu Wei asked again.

  I furrowed my brow, pretending to think, and after a while said "I don't know, it's too dark, can't see anything at all."

  By the light of the flashlight, Liu could be seen letting out a sigh of relief. He smiled and said, "It's okay, let's get out of here quickly!"

  Just turned around, suddenly heard a dull hum, when we shone the flashlight over, the man next to Zhu Baozi had already fallen to the ground with his neck covered, two holes constantly bleeding outwards, and the corners of his mouth also constantly spitting out blood bubbles.

  "What the...?!" Zhu Pangzi crouched down and shook the man's collar twice.

  "Up there!" Liu Wei suddenly shouted, followed by several gunshots.

  I lifted my head, and suddenly a thrill in my heart, only to see the thing floating in mid-air, with white hair all the way down to his waist, his face like dry tree bark, empty eye sockets without eyeballs but emitting a green glow like ghost fire, his tongue hanging down to his chin, as if he had no neck, and under his head was a large white robe that covered his entire body, if he still had one. It seemed that she herself could emit light, in this dark environment, I could see every part of her clearly, just feeling like her gaze was staring at me, cold sweat instantly wetting my clothes, subconsciously taking a step back.

  "Fire, fire!" Liu Wei shouted loudly, and Zhu Baozi and the others also raised their guns and started firing. The bullets hitting her were like stones sinking into the ocean, water soaking into a sponge, having no effect at all. Moreover, I could even hear the sound of the bullets passing through her and hitting the wall behind. My fear grew even more intense - was she really a ghost?

  A burst of laughter erupted, sharp and piercing, a tingling sensation swept through her entire body, and after the laughter stopped, she vanished, as if she had never appeared at all.

  "Turn back," Matsuda's voice echoed as he fired a shot, and sure enough, she had somehow turned around again, and with the sound of the gunshot, she vanished once more.

  "What the heck is this thing." Zhu Baozi spat and said.

  "It's probably a ghost!" Liu Wei's voice trembled slightly.

  The sound of "hei hei hei" came again, and it wasn't from one direction. One, two... "Damn, there are three." I couldn't help but curse.

  "Run quickly," said Matsuda, seeing that the guns had no effect on them. He turned around and ran, and we followed closely behind him. Bang! Another gunshot sounded from behind, I turned my head back to see Ishii putting away his shotgun which was hidden in his clothes, and the three things chasing us were now only two. Ishii can shoot ghosts to death, I felt both shocked and delighted.

  When I ran to the passage, the remaining two suddenly disappeared in the darkness. Matsumoto also stopped and Ishii came over and wrote on my back "The thing just now had a glowing device in its hair, it's human-controlled."

  No wonder they can appear and disappear at any time, in such a dark environment, as long as she doesn't let her glow, it's equivalent to disappearing, pulling her to the other side with a rope, and then letting her glow, is equivalent to suddenly appearing.

  My hand, which had been grasping the stone, wrote "Liu Wei" in his palm. The stone nodded. I saw Liu Wei and Song Tian whispering to each other in front, not knowing what they were saying. Old Liang was shining his flashlight everywhere, with some bloodstains on his body. It's no wonder he got stained with blood since he was too close to the murdered man just now. But suddenly, I saw that there were also bloodstains on Old Liang's wrist! He hadn't touched the murdered person from start to finish, had he?! Maybe he found out that I saw his hand, and immediately turned off the flashlight. At the same time, I felt a cold gaze looking at me. It was Liu Wei's, although there was still a smile on the corner of his mouth, but his eyes were as fierce and poisonous as a snake.
