The Curse of the Ancient Tomb Fifteen

  They left the museum and rushed back by car. It was already late in the afternoon, the sky was filled with dark clouds, and the black sky flashed with lightning from time to time, which was a bit eerie. In the distance, there were several muffled thunderclaps, as if they were wrapped in thick black clouds and couldn't escape.

  The car entered the rugged mountain road, and the rain finally poured down in the rumbling thunder. Except for the area illuminated by the headlights, it was pitch black all around. Old Yang slowed down the speed. The road conditions were bad, the weather was terrible, and it's better to be careful.

  It's really "what you fear comes true", a small figure suddenly appeared in front of the car, Old Yang hastily stepped on the brake... it was already too late!

  His mind was a complete blank, buzzing with noise. Su Yingzhen next to him pushed him repeatedly with her small hands: "Yang Shu, what's wrong with you?"

  Old Yang's eyes were fixed and his face turned pale as he said: "I hit someone."

  Dong Yiqi, who was sitting in the back, said: "How come we didn't see it?"

  "It's a kid." He said with a trembling voice, and got out of the car. The crowd followed him down, but there was nothing on the road. A group of people were in shock, when they suddenly heard the sound of the van reversing, turned their heads to see that their van was backing up by itself. For a moment, everyone was stunned, mouths agape and frozen in place.

  The car suddenly accelerated towards them from a certain distance.

  Five people jumped to the side of the road and escaped disaster. In the darkness, Su Yingzhen was heard shouting "It's going to crush us!"

  Just now, in the midst of the crisis, Xue Pinhan and a few others hugged her together to dodge, but now they were all heavily covering her body. The three of them quickly scrambled up, not yet standing firm, when that car turned its head and rushed over again. Xue Pinhan leaped into the air, jumping onto the front of the car, one hand tightly grasping the door handle, with that hand as the axis, his body spinning in mid-air, his feet already entering the car, followed by his entire body shrinking inside.

  The car swerved to avoid them on the road, wildly twisting and turning, finally losing control and crashing down the hillside, followed by a deafening crash, flames shooting into the sky. The car exploded.

  A group of people rushed over, and Xue Pinhan was walking towards them not far from the firelight.

  "Head, are you okay?" Dong Yiqi asked.

  "It's okay. Just now was really weird, the steering wheel couldn't be turned no matter what. It took a lot of effort to finally turn it to one side."

  "It's a good thing we were knocked to one side, otherwise we would have all been killed." Su Ying Zhen said.

  "Is it that thing acting up again?" Old Yang asked.

  "Of course, Luo. Do you even need to ask?" Dong Yiqi said casually.

  "What should we do now?" Shen Zhiyuan said.

  "Go and stop the car." Su Yingzhen said. She lifted her foot and walked, "Ah" in a loud voice, covering her leg. Xue Pinhan took out his mobile phone to take a look, and found that there was a big bruise on his calf, and the skirt was torn from top to bottom with a big hole.

  "Can you walk?" he asked.

  "Can." She replied, her hand touched her neck and let out a sharp cry: "It's over!"

  Everyone's heart, which had just been slightly put at ease, was raised again by her call. "What else?" Xue Pinhan asked.

  Su Yingzhen said dejectedly: "My sapphire necklace is gone."

  "Is it very heavy?" Old Yang asked.

  "Uh, Cartier's limited edition Ocean Heart is now over 300,000."

  Everyone secretly cursed.

  "Why wear such expensive jewelry to work? Showing off?" Xue said coldly, "It's too dark now. And there are potential dangers. Can't stop to look for jewelry."

  "It's not showing off, it's a talisman!" Su Yingzhen shouted at him: "Besides, I didn't say I wanted to find one!" She pouted and limped up the mountain slope. Shen Zhiyuan and Dong Yiqi hurried over to support her, but she angrily shook them off.

  Five people got on the highway, four men ran to the middle of the road to stop cars, they jumped and shouted and waved their hands, but not a single driver was willing to stop, the cars whizzed past them, leaving behind a sentence: "Looking for death!"

  Four people stood in the middle of the road with their heads hung low.

  Several loud thunderclaps sounded above their heads, and the rain came down even harder.

  Su Yingzhen walked to the middle of the road, stretched out a slender white arm from the slit in her skirt, and with a casual wave of her hand, a small car stopped in front of her.

  A lewd man's head stretched out despite the heavy rain: "Beauty, where are you going? Brother will send you." Two lustful eyes stared at her legs and refused to move.

  Four heads blocked his view. Dong Yiqi pulled him out of the car and flashed his police badge in front of him: "Police are handling a case, commandeering your vehicle."

  Others had already sat in the car. Shen Zhiyuan called out to him. Dong Yiqi let go of the unlucky man and also got into the car.

  "It seems that having a beauty with us makes all the difference. If it were Tian Meng instead of you today, not only would we fail to stop the car, but the driver might even turn around and run away as soon as he sees us from afar." Dong Yiqi sighed while wiping the rain off his face.

  "Who is Tian Meng?" Su Ying asked curiously.

  The one in the leader's heart.

  Shen Zhiyuan burst out laughing with a "pfft" sound.

  "Don't talk nonsense." Old Yang stopped him.

  "What nonsense? Two people going out together every day, envying others, if not a couple what are they?" Dong Yiqi argued. Shen Zhiyuan had already laughed so hard that he was gasping for air. Old Yang couldn't hold back either and burst into loud laughter.

  The fear that had just enveloped their minds disappeared completely, and the atmosphere in the car was very lively. Su Yingzhen glanced at Xue Pinhan through the rearview mirror, his expressionless face staring out the window. It seemed like their conversation had nothing to do with him. He really was a fighting machine among zombies, and yet he didn't even have an expression! She leaned back against the chair in dismay.

  Suddenly, a voice was calling her: "Su——Ying——Zhen." It was melodious and distant, as if it came from the horizon. She opened her eyes to find herself standing in the wilderness. The other members of the criminal investigation team were nowhere to be seen. The surroundings were dead silent, and she felt a little frightened, shouting loudly: "Is anyone there?"

  There was only a gust of cold wind making a low, mournful sound.

  A soft and clear cry came from behind: "Su Yingzhen."

  Her heart was racing, a chill ran through her entire body. She turned around and saw a woman dressed in ancient clothing smiling at her, the dim moonlight on her made it even more eerie.

  "Who are you?" Su Yingzhen forced herself to calm down.

  "Haha", the woman said with a gentle smile: "You've been looking for me all along, how come you don't know who I am?"

  The woman's clothes were a dark red, similar to the color of congealed blood. Could it be... "Ah!" she blurted out. The woman flung her long sleeve around her neck.

  Su Yingzhen immediately felt suffocated and short of breath, unable to breathe. She struggled desperately...

  There was a loud "thud" sound, and something fell to the ground. Su Yingzhen suddenly sat up, finding herself on the bed, her heart still racing wildly. With the dim light from outside the window, she saw that she was in a temporary dormitory. Her mind was a bit unclear, and after thinking for a long time with her head bowed, she finally remembered that she had returned with them. Slightly relieved, she wiped away the cold sweat on her forehead and lay down again. But she no longer felt sleepy, and her eyes stared fixedly at the ceiling.

  A faint sound of "creak" came, in this quiet night, making people inexplicably nervous. Su Ying's hair stood on end, she pressed her wildly beating heart and slowly stretched out her head, the door lock was quietly turning. She felt her heart had risen to her throat, her mouth dry and tongue parched.

  The door creaked open slowly with a "creak", but no one was in sight!

  "Ah!" She could no longer hold back and let out a shrill cry. The voice was trembling with panic.

  Xue Pinhan hastily got out of bed, turned on the light with a click, and stood in front of her asking: "What's wrong?"

  "The door! The door!" she exclaimed in terror, pointing at the door.

  They all looked towards the door, which was tightly closed.

  Su Yingzhen has petrified. Just now, could it be... an illusion? Yes, it must be an illusion. Since the lights weren't turned on just now, how could I have seen the door lock turning?

  "Is the door like this?" Xue Pinhan stared at her with his eyes wide open.

  "Is it like this?" "Is it like this?" "Is it..." Others also repeated together.

  The door creaked open with a slow "creak", and a gust of cold wind blew in. Su Yingzhen shivered violently, her fear rendering her unable to even call out.

  Xue Pinhan stood in front of her bed, his face pale and grey like a dead man, staring at her with wide eyes. He felt cold sweat all over his body.

  "I ate her." Xue Pinhan spoke up, his voice mechanical but chilling.

  "Eat her." "Eat her." "Eat..." The others repeated after him. A hand stretched out, its fingers like a ghost's sharp claws reaching for her...

  "Ah——" she shouted out with all her might.
