The Informal Tomb Raiding Diary: She is the occupant of the tomb! Chapter 329 - 276: Midnight Conversation (Part 3)

"She hopes you have the absolute ability to protect yourself," Qinghan said softly.

"Ah, why is she suddenly so sentintal? No way, did she say that to you?"

"She sent dozens of ssages and made eight phone calls."

"To persuade ?"

"I just think she sees you as a friend. As for what they’re asking you to do, the decision is in your hands. I don’t want to say anything more. Personally, I hope you don’t go courting death."

"You know what they’re asking to do, so why ask what our plan is? I’m the one being sched against this ti." Even though I want to consider the mood of this handso man undergoing a midlife crisis, being questioned for no reason, I have to defend myself a bit, right?

I pull open the shop’s exterior roller door. Through the glass door, I can see the brand-new tables and chairs inside. Bai Yun and the others have already done a simple setup for the shop. The wallpaper is their doing; they chose the colors, all warm tones. The imitation wood tables and chairs are neatly up against the side walls. The floor has also been thoroughly cleaned. Although it’s a shop in preparation, it doesn’t give off a ssy feeling.

There are still so pots, pans, and bowls missing in the kitchen, like the racks for storing ingredients, which Bai Yun welded herself. The neighborhood often has people renovating, and there’s a fixed spot outside for storing building waste. Bai Yun has dug up quite a bit of material from that large waste pile.

I have no objections to this, given that she’s soone who goes out to collect bottles even in the rain. This city hides ’treasures’ everywhere. I’ve already decided to buy a garage as my first ho, live above it, and store the collected ’treasures’ below. Plus, garages are relatively cheap, very suitable for an old zongzi like who can survive thousands of years in dark ancient tombs.

After Qinghan toured the kitchen, he returned to the front hall, moved a chair, and sat down.

"I saw sothing in Sakura."

I shrugged, thinking there are many things to see in Sakura. Which one are you talking about?

"About a plan."

"What plan?" I chid in.

"Don’t know the specifics, just know that the Heavenly Maiden Clan started formulating this plan long ago. Judging by the ti, when the plan was being made, you hadn’t been buried yet."

"Does the plan have a na? A code na?"

"Baozi helped translate it, the Sunken Boat Plan."

"Never heard of it. No, wait, the Sunken Boat is her interpretation, right? No, no, literally, you can translate it that way, but what it actually refers to is..."

"What is it?"

"A boat sunken underground, just like the ancient ship we saw in the lizard cave. Could it be they want to restart this plan..."

"You’ve already implented it?"

"Yes, and it ended in failure. At that ti, those responsible for energy search in the clan discovered a cavern while digging graves, uh, I an while searching for recyclable weapons. They sent people down to investigate. Detection equipnt showed special energy deep in the cave."

They sent four teams down one after another, drilling and excavating for months, only then discovering a ship deep underground.

This ship had been buried for at least a hundred thousand years, and its power source was still ’alive.’ Our clan wanted to reclaim it, but anyone who approached this energy would experience ti flying by for them. It wasn’t poisoning or radiation; ti just flowed double for them. Within three days, they would die of old age.

All four teams that ca into close contact with it died of old age on site. After the incident, those responsible for investigation had no choice but to fill the cave with slurry and refill it.

"The leader caught from Sakura is nad Miura Jun. He claims to be a descendant of the Heavenly Maiden Clan and wants to implent the ancestors’ Sunken Boat Plan, leading the world into a new era."

"Don’t joke around. That broken ship can lead the world into a new era? Ha, more like thoroughly entering an aging society, heading towards the end."

"Since it’s an already closed project, who all participated at the ti, and who still holds the map to the ship’s location?"

"Zhaosi was in charge of it; she was the big boss. But many people knew about it, though few had access to the map, because a severe accident occurred. The queen at the ti ordered all the data destroyed."

We never got along before, unlikely discussing our work, plus I was stationed at the frontier for years, hearsay and reports were how I got my news.

After thinking for a while, I finally rembered soone, "Zhaosi had a confidant, because she fell in love with a foreigner, Zhaosi gouged out her eyes, broke her legs, and exiled her. Maybe she knows sothing..."

"Is she still alive?"

"She isn’t. But the foreigner she loved might be. Perhaps she told that person about her work matters."
