Du Xishan, upon hearing there was a discovery, imdiately took off running, while you walked behind with Xian Qianling, slightly surprised, "Hey, Crazy Woman, you’re a big team captain, how did you end up doing archaeological work here?"
Yan Ran gave a side glance, Xian Qianling’s smile blooming like a flower, "What do you think?"
Giving her a direct eye roll, this Crazy Woman’s actions were becoming more and more unreliable, never having a clear plan, truly incomprehensible what she was thinking in her heart.
Striding over, you found that Du Xishan was squatting in front of a stone, examining it closely with a magnifying glass. The stone was only about half the size of a chair and seed no different from ordinary rocks.
Seeing you approach, Du Xishan hurriedly waved you over, "Mu Yun, co take a look."
"What’s up?"
Walking close to Du Xishan, you squatted down like him, your hand gently caressing the faint traces on the stone.
"There should be text on this, but the magnification of the magnifying glass isn’t sufficient. Help take a look."
The Sen Luo Curse Mark in your eyes flickered slightly, then you reached into your backpack, pulled out a pen and sketchbook, and quickly transcribed the text and symbols that had just imprinted in your mind onto the sketchbook. Although the stone was not big, you filled up three pages with your writing.
Having finished, you casually threw the sketchbook to Du Xishan and then looked up at Xian Qianling standing behind you, "You wouldn’t have called us all the way here just to look at this stone, would you?"
Expecting Xian Qianling to present the clues she had found like a treasure, she instead gave you a sidelong glance and ignored you completely upon hearing these words.
Yay, playing hard to get!
Rang Hongfei at the side suppressed a chuckle, which ended up with him being gently poked with a pen by Sun Mingyu next to him. When Rang Hongfei turned around, Sun Mingyu imdiately gave a significant look, pulling him aside to whisper, "Don’t tempt fate, be careful. Don’t think the captain has beco more approachable recently. If you anger her, you’ll be in for it!"
Sticking his tongue out slightly, Rang Hongfei, following Sun Mingyu’s gesture, walked towards you and said, "Chairman Li, follow . The truly shocking part is deeper inside Stone Forest."
Standing up, you and Rang Hongfei headed towards the deeper parts of Stone Forest.
You have to admit, this Stone Forest was truly eerie. You had even specifically used your Sen Luo Eye to scan it a few tis, only to find these were indeed just rocks, with nothing else inside; however, the more you found nothing, the stranger this place seed.
After walking a short distance, you suddenly heard the sound of a cara shutter "click". Moving forward to check, it turned out that Hu Qing was leading a group of criminal police officers in an investigation.
Seeing you arrive, Hu Qing ca over with a subdued expression, "Chairman Li, we et again."
"Captain Hu, what are you doing here too?"
"It’s quite a coincidence. We’ve been working on a case of an online fraud gang that we cracked a month ago. It was a major case involving a large amount of money and wide involvent. They had hideouts in several counties and cities around Yuhang. Sure, we caught the people, but they had hidden away the illicit money and so hard drives containing data."
Nodding, you pointed to a large pit ahead and laughed, "It looks like you’ve found all that money and the hard drives now."
"Yes, indeed. However, we’ve also found a very deep tunnel."
"A tunnel?"
Before Hu Qing could speak, a criminal police officer holding a cara ca over and said to him, "Captain, we’ve finished collecting all the data, we can go back to report."
Hu Qing nodded, called another officer over, and gave him a few orders, then patting him on the shoulder, he said, "You guys go on back, I still have so things here, might be delayed another day."
Once all the criminal police had left, Xian Qianling, along with Sun Mingyu and Du Xishan, ca over.
"Senior sister, this ti you’ve really made a great contribution," Xian Qianling said with a giggle.
"You little rascal, with such a great contribution, wouldn’t it be better if we split it between the two of us? Why shoving it all onto ?" Hu Qing had the affectionate and indulgent attitude of an older sister toward her younger sister when it ca to Xian Qianling.
"This case has been in your hands from the start; I’ve only provided assistance. I hardly put in any effort, so it’s only right that you get the credit," Xian Qianling walked up to you and pointed at the pit, saying, "I shone a flashlight down that passage and saw it’s bottomless. There could be an ancient tomb down there."
Hearing Xian Qianling say this, you couldn’t help but frown and asked, "None of you went down there, did you?"
Another side eye, "Do I look that stupid to you?"
"Well, that’s true," you nodded, "You’re definitely not stupid, just a bit crazed."
"Li Muyun, are you looking for a fight!?"
Seeing Xian Qianling roll up her sleeves, ready to throw punches, you quickly laughed and jumped to the side, saying to Du Xishan who was about to go down into the pit, "Hold on, Lao Du, don’t be hasty. Let scout ahead first."
With that said, you jumped right into the pit. The passage was really just an earthen hole, its edges reinforced with a type of brickwork. The hole inclined about forty degrees from the ground and stretched downwards into pitch darkness.
At the sight of this, you naturally reached into your pocket and took out an orange talisman paper, swiftly folding it into a paper crane.
"Eh? How co it’s a paper crane now? Just yesterday you were using paper airplanes."
You rolled your eyes and huffed with a bit of snobbery, "Are you dumb? Paper airplanes fly with the airflow and are too fast. Who knows what it’s like inside that passage? It’s got to be the kind of paper crane that you can control freely."
Never expecting to be outdone by you, Xian Qianling couldn’t help but laugh in exasperation, "Petty man! Hmm, I like that nickna. From now on, I’ll call you ’Petty Man’! Petty Man, Petty Man, Petty Man."
"Aren’t you being obnoxious?" you glowered at Xian Qianling, none too pleased.
"I can say whatever I want, it’s my mouth!"
Ignoring the crazy woman, you bit your fingertip to bring forth a little blood and gently sared it on the top of the paper crane’s head. Then, with a breath, the paper crane began to slowly fly.
The paper crane entered the hole, observed by all, and at that mont, you closed your eyes.
At this mont, your vision changed to the view in front of the paper crane.
This passage was indeed very dark, and there seed to be sothing peculiar filling the air, preventing light from penetrating.
Originally, you thought this earthen hole would be at least a hundred or eighty ters deep, but the paper crane had flown less than ten ters before it struck a pitch-black wall and imdiately burst into flas, burning to ashes.
"Hmm?"
At the instant the paper crane hit the pitch-black wall, you felt a jolt through your body, and promptly spit out a mouthful of blood!
"Petty Man!"
Seeing you spit blood, Xian Qianling imdiately let out a cry of alarm.
Following that, the crazy woman jumped straight down from above!
