The Informal Tomb Raiding Diary: She is the occupant of the tomb! Chapter 263 - 254: Domestic Life in the Tomb (Part 3)
The fourth painting shows a group of people building a well over a ground hole, with a large stone slab sealing the well mouth.
"Isn’t this the ancient version of Zhenzi?" I looked at the stone platform; it’s obviously not the well edge. If the ground hole is just beneath the platform, then the people who built the tomb must have sealed the well completely.
Is such a perilous place considered a feng shui treasure ground? Why do I feel sothing is off...
"No, the ground hole is a door connecting to the Different Space. People who enter it will mutate."
"You want to go in? I refuse. Right now, I’m just feeling weak; after a few days of rest I should be fine. If I turned into that and wanted to change back, even plastic surgeons would jump off a building."
"You actually care about your looks."
"Yeah, I love beauty, don’t try to make ugly."
"What’s your true purpose?" Qinghan suddenly interrupted.
He was asking Galaxy, and I was utterly confused. Leng Henjue and the trio had asked for my help before, so why was he now questioning their motive?
"To find the weapon and get revenge."
"Two possibilities: One, each of you discovered similar energy storage spaces and believed she could absorb the energy inside them, so you all said you have a way to solve the Karmic Fire issue; two, you want to trick her into doing experints."
"This door is collapsing; the negative energy inside has already leaked. We need to think of a way to seal it." Galaxy said as she touched the stone platform, "When I first arrived, I could only hide in the coffin because it was the only place with energy coverage. Now, I can move freely in the tomb. Perhaps soon the energy behind the door will spread to farther places."
She had just ntioned that the energy inside the door can turn normal people into Evil Ghosts. If the ’door’ effect disappears, the negative energy behind the door will overflow. The impact area would be incalculable, and if it spreads widely, it would affect areas where ordinary people reside.
That would be a serious consequence. If an entire village or town turns into Evil Ghosts, it couldn’t be covered up.
"She doesn’t have the ability to seal the door," Qinghan said.
"Are you scared? She won’t die."
"Sotis living is scarier than dying. We need to plan this further."
"This era is interesting. I hope it doesn’t end too soon."
Galaxy gave us so space to rest. Qinghan wasn’t willing to let take the risk, and she didn’t insist either.
A puppet flew in front of and spit out a component from its mouth. I reached out to catch it, knowing it was the key they ntioned.
Galaxy stopped speaking. She handed her phone to Qinghan to show him her chat logs with Sachima and Zhaosi.
It must be records from quite so ti ago, as she scrolled for a while to find them.
Qinghan read carefully, and then a faint knocking sound ca from outside the door.
"It’s fine, they’re just breaking down the wall," Galaxy said casually, as if she didn’t care that soone was vandalizing the tomb.
The tomb’s corridors twisted and turned, but walking in a straight line, it would only take ten minutes to get from the entrance to the main tomb chamber.
While Qinghan was browsing the chat logs, having nothing to do, I went to look at the murals on the wall.
Although there were many small dolls hanging, the main content of the paintings was still visible.
The people who found the sealed well mouth were a group of outsiders who had migrated here and lived by hunting.
This group wore big gold chains around their necks and had bracelets and gem rings on their hands. They didn’t look like refugees, but the mural didn’t ntion why they migrated here.
The painting emphasized that they discovered an ancient well and learned through bloody lessons that it could turn normal people into Evil Ghosts.
The leader of these people seed to be a particularly formidable figure, invincible and self-sacrificing, who was buried after death in this tomb to seal the door with his ’body’.
But seeing this made question - previously they had sealed the well with a stone slab to prevent further tragedy, so why did this leader insist on sealing the door themselves?
They knew about building the ancient well, and whoever told them about it must have also ntioned there wasn’t a need for soone to block the well.
Clang——
The sound of stone being struck was right at the door this ti, but after just one hit, a man roared, "Idiot, stop!"
"What’s wrong, Boss?" another man asked, puzzled.
"There’s a chanism, fool." As the man’s voice fell, the stone door of the main tomb chamber swung open to the sides. Two n stood in the doorway, wearing headlamps, and had to squint from the light inside the door.
"Boss, we hit the jackpot, it must be the Luminous Pearl!"
