Chapter 82

Yu Huaiyao never thought that his cousin would die tragically. His body was found in an abandoned factory, the time of death around midnight.

Also found at the scene with him were three other bodies, two men and one woman, who also died at midnight. All four died in a terrible state, almost unrecognizable.

He was the one who identified the body, not daring to let his mother see it.

But no matter how much they investigated, they couldn’t find the cause of death.

The police came to investigate whether the deceased had any abnormalities before his death. Everyone said that Yu Huan had no abnormalities during his lifetime. In the end, the matter could only be concluded as suicide.

Yu Huaiyao closed his eyes, remembering what his cousin had once said.

“Do you believe in ghosts in this world?”

He didn’t believe it before, but now…

Yu Huaiyao stared at the series of information he had found on the screen and sighed deeply.

Ghosts…

He didn’t see that on a repaired screen behind him, painted with a picture of court ladies, one of the maids suddenly widened her smile, her eyes slanting at Yu Huaiyao.

The latter turned off the lights and turned to leave.

The next day, Yu Huaiyao received a call from a middle-aged policeman named An Ru. Yu Huaiyao was very impressed with him because he heard that the other party’s son was missing and had not been found for a long time.

And what An Ru told him was even more surprising.

After speaking, the other party hung up the phone.

An Ru turned his phone back to silent, his eyes fixed on a building in front of him.

According to the investigation by the private detective hired by his wife, Xiao An had met this girl before. The girl’s friend also died in the accident.

Lin Chu walked to the window and closed the curtains. She saw the man disguised as a sanitation worker hiding behind the tree again in her peripheral vision.

She was being watched again.

Thinking of this, a trace of coldness flashed in Lin Chu’s eyes. She pretended not to notice, closed the curtains after turning off the lights, and lay on the sofa to rest.

Her home had changed a lot. In order to prevent someone from sneaking in, Lin Chu collected all the notes on the wall, cleaned them thoroughly, and could no longer see the original appearance.

Only Yu Xianguang’s portrait was still placed on the TV cabinet in the house.

Lu Yanli pushed open the door, and the scene that came into view surprised the four of them.

This made them not know how to answer. Yi Yun said in a low voice, “They don’t know?”

Wang Pengfei was also suspicious.

The staff member was dubious. Several people gathered together and whispered a few words before letting them in.

Lu Yanli sat alone on the side, did not drink tea, nor did he eat anything, just quietly watching the staff members busy.

He always felt… he had overlooked something. Why did these people look familiar?

Until now, they had time to look at the surrounding environment.

No wonder ordinary tourists were not allowed to enter. The display stands in the hall were filled with quite a few dried corpses. Further inside, there were some untreated wax-embalmed remains. If parents brought their children to visit, they might scare the children to cry.

Seeing that the staff members were easy to get along with, Yi Yun couldn’t help but move over and asked: “Have the recently unearthed cultural relics been sent here?”

Those people were busy with their work, and few people paid attention to her. Only the person who poured her tea at the beginning said softly: “There are still many that have not been excavated.”

“I want to ask, among the unearthed cultural relics, is there a pair of double fish jade pendants?”

That person didn’t even raise his head: “No.”

Yi Yun was a little disappointed. The other two also looked at each other, secretly feeling difficult.

Wang Pengfei said: “Really not? There are so many things unearthed, is it possible that you have forgotten? We just want to take a look.”

Of course, he didn’t think so in his heart. They could leave after taking the jade pendant.

The staff members simply ignored them and focused on playing with the things in their hands.

“What’s wrong?” Jing Tao’s scalp was numb.

The staff member suddenly laughed and nodded at the skull: “These things still want to return to the tomb after coming out of the tomb.”

What does it mean?

At this time, several staff members walked in from the inner room again. They pushed new corpses over, and the trolley was covered with white cloth.

“Another job.” The staff member smiled and uncovered the white cloth.

Under the white cloth were corpses that had almost all the blood drained from their bodies, skin and bones, eyeballs protruding, and the state of death was particularly tragic. But they looked like they had just died not long ago, the skin was a pale white with a slight blue tinge, and not the shiny brownish-brown after wax embalming.

Two staff members placed one of the corpses in the display cabinet, stretched out their hands to grope on the head, and then took some tools from the side as if they had found something.

Yi Yun didn’t know what they were going to do, so she moved closer to take a look. As she watched, her eyes widened suddenly, and a cold air quickly rushed from her spine to the top of her head.

This corpse… why did it look so familiar?

No wonder she felt that the corpse looked familiar, it turned out… this was Cao Yi’s corpse!

At the same time, Jing Tao also noticed something was wrong.

He surrounded another staff member to watch, but he didn’t know the owner of that corpse, so he didn’t feel anything strange.

But… the staff member was not wearing gloves, and large dark purple spots began to appear on his bare hands.

Commonly known as, livor mortis.

“It’s still raining outside, sit down for a while longer.”

“Stay.”

Lightning flashed, and the thunder almost pierced the eardrums.

“Stay…”

One dried corpse after another lying in the display cabinet also gradually moved, the joints made unbearable sounds, and they stood up from the cabinet, shaking and staggering.

“Let’s go!”

Another lightning strike passed, and the thunder rumbled.

A wall of bronze chimes neatly arranged on the display cabinet rang ding-dong, dense, noisy, dragging a long echo, making people feel uncomfortable when they heard it.

Fortunately, he had copied himself in advance… Lu Yanli thought so, and his eyes went black.

When he opened his eyes again, the scene in front of him was also dark. Several beams of flashlight light shone back and forth, and in front of him were several enlarged human faces, their eyes full of concern and vigilance.

Lu Yanli didn’t answer, but carefully looked at the surrounding environment.

Very similar to the internal structure of the tomb he saw in the forbidden area of ​​Shangxian Village, a small road divided east and west, with a large hole open above.

The people in front of him were covered in gray dust, stained with a lot of soil.

“Where is this?” Lu Yanli finally spoke.

“You don’t know?”

Lu Yanli had a vague guess in his mind, but he wasn’t sure. He didn’t answer, and the group looked at each other.

After a while, shouts came again from a distance—someone else had fallen in. Not knowing where it came from, Lu Yanli saw his eyes suddenly become alert and looked in that direction.

Following him, Jing Tao also fell in. Soon, Yi Yun also entered this space. In the end, Wang Pengfei was also discovered by the team members.

They were actually all teleported to the tomb being excavated!

Lu Yanli appeared a little puzzled, while the three missioners secretly guessed whether the mission sent them near the double fish jade pendant? Otherwise, they didn’t know where the jade pendant was at all, how could they find it?

Now they were sure that the jade pendant must still be in the tomb. Although it hadn’t been dug out, they at least had a goal, didn’t they?

“Really not, we don’t even know why we suddenly came.” Jing Tao stuck to the position that they didn’t know, and was unwilling to leave when the team members said they would send them out, and repeatedly assured that they could help and would not cause trouble.

In short, under the four people’s persistent entanglement, they actually stayed and helped with the excavation together.

So far, the excavation of the tomb has reached the final stage, and several main burial chambers are about to be explored. The place where they landed was at the junction of the east and west burial chambers.

Looking at the direction the team was advancing, it was obviously the east.

Lu Yanli followed the team quietly. The team’s progress was too slow, and they had to stop and wait from time to time so that they could brush away the heavy dust and record the characters carved on both sides of the wall that had not yet seen the light of day.

The other three missioners were impatient and couldn’t wait to start digging for treasures immediately. Lu Yanli, however, was very patient.

He needed to understand the information of the owner of this tomb.

As they advanced, the characters revealed on the blue brick walls on both sides gradually disappeared. The progress of the archaeological team members was slow just now because they were trying to record these characters and trying to translate them.

“It’s really strange, this kind of text in history… at least in our current records, has never appeared.” The oldest middle-aged man in the archaeological team recorded and pondered, his small notebook was full of symbols.

Lu Yanli was walking beside him, his eyebrows twitching.

Why could he remember this kind of text, but he couldn’t?

“May I ask, do you have any thoughts on the translation of these texts?” Lu Yanli wanted to know what was recorded on the wall.

That expert shook his head: “Not so fast yet, I’ve only figured out some rules.” He excitedly pointed to the notebook and showed it to the other party, “Look, like this one, the winding streamline, has appeared in several places, what does it look like?”

“Water?”

“Yes, I also guess it’s a water character, but there’s not enough evidence now, I need to go back and study it slowly.” After saying that, the expert sighed, “Unseen text and unprecedented style of burial objects, this must be a major discovery in the archaeological world!”

While speaking, they turned a corner, and the team members in front were pleasantly surprised: “Captain Cen, we found a mural here!”

“What?” The expert called Captain Cen strode over, and the others also rushed over. A team member was slowly using tools to clean the accumulated ash on the wall, so that the beautiful colors on the wall gradually appeared.

It seemed that this was still a long mural! The others didn’t stay idle and also took tools to prepare for work, but the archaeological team still had doubts about these four people, and they needed technology, so they didn’t let them intervene.

Lu Yanli helped hold the lights for lighting, he stood on the other side of the corridor, focusing on analyzing the mural.

The style of the mural… was very similar to the treasure map in the village chief’s home in Shangxian Village and the mural in the secret room in the center of the forbidden area. It seemed that it should have been painted by the same person.

However, the mural in front of him was not a picture of five immortals, but recorded another story.

The image initially swept out was a landscape painting, Lu Yanli couldn’t see it clearly. Green mountains and rivers, lush forests, with many creatures inside.
