Chapter 2: Stop pretending, you are a tomb robber! (Ch 2)

At this moment, more than 100,000 viewers in the live broadcast room were looking at Zhang Xuan in amazement!
I saw his throat rolling and a strange and creepy sound coming from his throat!
His face also turned slightly red, and it seemed that making such a strange sound was also very difficult for him!
But they don’t understand what Zhang Xuan is doing!
The cold light from the mobile phone screen illuminated a faint glow in the dark coffin!
It’s just a matter of angle. I can’t see clearly what’s going on inside.
One could only vaguely see a bronze plate with strange patterns engraved on it, which should be the side wall of the bronze coffin!
The camera was also shaking, and it was impossible to see clearly what the pattern was.
A live broadcast room with 100,000 people.
There are very few comments.
It seems that the audience’s attention in front of the camera is all on the camera.
The strange sound coming from Zhang Xuan’s throat was more like even stranger music to accompany the horror shots.
Even through the screen, I can feel the fear deep in my bones.
“Brother Xuan, stop shouting, I’m scared………..”
“Oh my god, anchor, you really want to scare me to death, right?”
“Anchor, I’d rather die in your live studio!”
“Hey, why is there nothing in there? Is it empty? Is it a mechanism?”
“Yeah, I don’t think I saw anything!”
“Hey, what is that?”
“Holy crap, what the heck is that? It’s so disgusting!”
“……………………”
Suddenly!
A black object that looked like a palm but was covered with lumps of flesh flashed in front of the camera!
Not only the audience in the live broadcast room, but also Zhang Xuan’s expression suddenly changed!
But the sound in his throat not only did not stop, but became even more rapid!
“Boom!”
A huge vibration sounded!
The screen shook violently several times.
A round thing covered with rotten flesh and oozing pus suddenly appeared in front of the camera!
A black object under the tumor moved slightly towards the camera.
“Fuck, I’m so scared!”
“How disgusting! What is this?”
“Oh my God! What do I see?”
“Fuck, it looks like a head. Are those black things eyes?”
“Oh my god!!!”
“Help!!!”
There was a burst of wailing in the live broadcast room!
Zhang Xuan’s pupils shrank sharply!
His face turned purple in an instant!
There was a hint of anger in the strange sound in his throat!
This is the ability to communicate with evil creatures that he obtained from the blood of the Qilin!
I didn’t expect it would come in handy so soon!
As his voice became more urgent, the zongzi’s reaction became more intense!
Even through the screen, he could feel Zongzi’s anger that was almost about to blow the coffin lid off!
But this situation did not last long!
As the odd sound in his throat stopped.
The camera also returned to calm!
“Bang!”
After a few seconds of silence, a muffled sound suddenly rang out!
The picture suddenly became blurry.
After flashing a few times, a familiar voice suddenly sounded: “Brother Xuan?”
“call!”
Zhang Xuan breathed a sigh of relief and quickly drank a sip of water, and his throat felt a little better.
The method of using the abdomen to produce sound and squeeze the vocal cords really makes people feel uncomfortable.
………………………………………………………..
Inside the ancient tomb!
See the flying cell phone and the bronze coffin remaining calm as usual.
Zhou Cheng and the other three fell into a state of self-doubt.
“No…..what happened just now?”
Terry stared with his eyes wide open, as if his brain was still shutting down!
The tall and thin man saw Zhou Cheng holding the phone woodenly, and looked at the bronze coffin in shock, with a very strange expression: “Cellphone…”
“Was it thrown out by the old man in there?”
Zhou Cheng nodded woodenly: “Yeah!”
Zhou Zeyi’s eyes suddenly showed a huge fear, and he looked at the three people: “Get out of here quickly!”
Zhou Cheng was stunned for a moment: “Where…where?”
Zhou Ze looked around and suddenly pointed to the northwest corner of the hall: “That!”
Before he finished speaking, the man had already run towards the northwest corner!
“There seems to be a stone staircase here, which should be the tomb passage leading to the antrum!”
“Anyway, don’t stay in the hall!”
As he spoke, he had already reached the stone steps and shone the flashlight downwards: “That’s right!”
“It’s a tomb passage!”
The three of them finally came to their senses and followed Zhou Zeyi desperately.
But his legs felt like noodles, limp and he couldn’t exert any strength.
“Slow down, don’t fall.”
“I’ve already made an agreement with the old man inside. As long as you don’t open his coffin lid again, he won’t bother with you!”
Zhang Xuan’s playful voice sounded in the tomb passage.
The four of them were suddenly stunned.
Zhou Zeyi turned around suddenly, as if he understood something in an instant: “Little brother, was that cooing sound just now the sound of you talking to it?”
Zhang Xuan: “What else?”
Tai Li looked at Zhou Zeyi in shock: “Third Master, is there really someone in the world who can talk to an old Zongzi?”
The tall and thin man also looked shocked.
Only Zhou Zeyi took a deep breath and said, “I heard about this from the elders when I first got started.”
“Legend has it that there is an extremely secretive family among tomb robbers!”
“Every member of their tribe is an expert, and their tribe leader has mastered several incredible ways to go down to the tomb, one of which is the ability to communicate with Zongzi!”
The three of them were all shocked when they heard this: “Ah?”
“Do you really have this ability?”
Zhou Ze nodded: “Of course I haven’t seen it either.”
“I still remember the older generation saying that this mysterious family has a great influence. Whether it’s the former warlords and politicians, or the wealthy businessmen, or even the bandits and gangsters, they all have connections with their family!”
“In his heyday, he could summon tens of thousands of troops with just one command!”
“There was even an incident where eighteen ancient tombs in Shaling were razed to the ground overnight!”
The three of them were stunned.
Zhou Cheng’s eyes lit up: “So amazing!”
“Is this family still around?”
“Can you contact Uncle San?”
Zhou Ze glanced at his nephew who looked sincere and said, “You think too highly of your uncle.”
“well!”
“No news about this family has been heard for decades. The only clue I know is that everyone in this family has the surname Zhang!”
Zhou Cheng was stunned for a moment, then slowly picked up his phone: “Your last name is Zhang… Zhang Xuan?”

State Administration of Cultural Heritage.
Although it was late at night, the conference room was brightly lit.
Zhang Xuan’s live broadcast room is being played on the projector.
There were several figures of different ages at the table, all with the same ugly expression.
“This is trouble!”
“Even if we find the location of the ancient tomb, I’m afraid we won’t be able to excavate it for a while!”
Director Yang looked worried.
The middle-aged man sitting opposite, wearing a Mao suit and a buzz cut, nodded: “It is basically confirmed that this ancient tomb is very dirty!”
“If we want to excavate, we must first ensure the safety of the archaeological team!”
“Moreover, the black air in that coffin is enough to lift off the bronze coffin lid weighing a thousand pounds!”
“The thing inside is much more dangerous than jackals and wild beasts!”
The two old men next to him sighed slightly.
Director Yang frowned, and a light suddenly shone from behind his thick glasses. He looked at the middle-aged man and said, “Chief Fan, I have an idea!”
“Didn’t you work in Bureau 749 before?”
“Can he help with this kind of thing?”
The two old men also looked at Section Chief Fan: “Yes, if Bureau 749 is willing to send people to assist us, the safety of the archaeological team will be guaranteed!”
Section Chief Fan showed hesitation: “Bureau 749 is no longer what it used to be.”
“As a highly confidential unit, I have already been transferred out, so I don’t know much about the current situation of Bureau 749!”
“But I can give it a try…”
Director Yang’s gloomy face suddenly showed a little joy: “That’s great.”
“With Chief Fan taking action, I believe it will succeed!”
But Section Chief Fan shook his head again, stared at the screen and said seriously: “I think the first priority now is to determine the location of this ancient tomb, right?”
“Although we can see the internal video of the ancient tomb in the live broadcast, it is basically impossible to determine the location of the ancient tomb from these clues!”
“I heard that the Internet monitoring agency also couldn’t find the location information of the person who connected.”
“This basically cuts off all our clues!”
Director Yang waved his hand upon hearing this: “Don’t worry, it shouldn’t be a big problem!”
“Although tomb robbers have a strong anti-reconnaissance awareness, this anchor named Zhang Xuan may be our breakthrough point.”
“And he is in Qingzhou, and the Qingzhou police already have his exact address.”
“I’ve asked them to monitor closely!”
Seeing Section Chief Fan’s surprised expression, he asked, “Zhang Xuan?”
“He should be a broadcaster, right? Would he know the information about tomb robbers?”
Director Yang smiled and pointed at the screen, “You must not have paid attention to what the tomb robber named Uncle San said just now!”
“He just said that Zhang Xuan might belong to a tomb-robbing family, and that their family seems to have a relatively high status in the industry!”
“And he just said that he was talking to the thing in the coffin!”
“Although the authenticity still needs to be confirmed, judging from the information in the footage, it is true!”
“Even if he’s not a tomb robber, his background must be involved!”
“If this isn’t a breakthrough, what is?”
Section Chief Fan blinked: “Well…that’s easy!”
…………………
Network security monitoring duty room!
Director Chen stood up suddenly and slammed the table: “Listen!”
“Listen!”
“What did I say?”
“This guy is a tomb robber, and he’s the boss among all the tomb robbers!”
Fang Youcai’s face was filled with black lines: “Director Chen, why are you so startled……”
“This is just Uncle San’s one-sided opinion, and it’s hearsay.”
“Whether it is true or not, we still need to investigate!”
“And I feel like the Zhang family he mentioned is even more powerful than the Shanghai gang. I’ve been a police officer for more than 20 years, so why haven’t I heard of the Zhang family?”
Director Chen was about to get angry when he suddenly saw a familiar figure walking in.
She was wearing a police uniform and had neat short hair. Her big, crystal-clear eyes flashed with a sharp look. “You haven’t heard of it, not because it doesn’t exist, but because you don’t have much experience!”
Director Chen smiled and said, “Captain Lin, why are you here?”
Xiao Lu and Liang Jingyi also stood up hurriedly: “Captain Lin.”
Only Fang Youcai closed his eyes and sighed secretly: “What you fear will come true…”
Lin Yue didn’t care either. He just sneered, took out the folder and patted Fang Youcai: “Captain Fang doesn’t seem to welcome me. He didn’t even say hello.”
“This is the information of the four tomb robbers in the ancient tomb.”
Fang Youcai’s eyes suddenly widened, and he was about to take it, but Lin Yue suddenly handed it to Director Chen: “Director Chen, please take a look.”
“There are actually five of them in total. The first three are led by Uncle San, and the tall and thin man who came later is in the same group as the one who died in front of the cave entrance!”
Director Chen opened the file: “Well, not bad!”
But Fang Youcai said: “It’s something that everyone knows, but you’ve troubled Captain Lin to investigate and sort it out. It’s really hard work.”
“But it’s no use!”
Director Chen glared at him and said, “Watch your attitude when you speak!”
Lin Yue smiled and said, “It’s okay, Team Fang just has a problem with me.”
“Yes, everyone knows this information.”
“But do you know that Third Uncle is a famous local scholar?”
“And his subordinate, nicknamed Taishan, was involved in a street fight ten years ago and beat a man into a vegetable, did you know that?”
Fang Youcai showed a look of shock.
Director Chen nodded with satisfaction: “Well done!”
Lin Yue said calmly: “That Third Uncle has a very high status, seniority and influence among the tomb robbers of the Southern School. What he said is quite credible!”
“So the anchor Zhang Xuan is most likely a former member of the Zhang family!”
He turned to look at Director Chen: “Director Chen, on behalf of the Second Criminal Police Team, I am applying for full authority to investigate this tomb robbery case!”
Director Chen was also surprised when he heard this.
Fang Youcai laughed: “Captain Lin, the tomb robbery site is not here, and Director Chen does not have the authority to file a case!”
“We have to wait for notification from above.”
“You don’t know this?”
Director Chen nodded: “Captain Lin, don’t worry…”
But before he could finish, he was interrupted by Lin Yue: “Of course I know.”
“But you don’t know yet!”
“The two men, one tall and one fat, one of whom died, left Qingzhou last night.”
“And the Sand City he went to should be where the ancient tomb is. Even if it is not, it is not far from the ancient tomb!”
As soon as she finished speaking, the faces of several people changed drastically!
…………………………………………..
Live broadcast room.
Zhang Xuan’s face darkened instantly.
“Brother, what’s going on?”
“I just saved you, and now you’re throwing dirty water on me?”
“You won’t recognize me if you pull up my pants, right?”
“You’re scolding the cook when you’re full?”
He banged on the table: “Hang up, hung up!”
But suddenly he added: “If I hang up, people will say I am guilty!”
“When the relevant departments come to investigate me, I will be speechless!”
“No, I need a reasonable explanation in front of a live broadcast room with 100,000 people!”
The audience in the live broadcast room did not buy it.
“I knew Brother Xuan was no ordinary anchor. Now the truth is revealed!”
“Brother Xuan, don’t be afraid. As long as you are not caught in the act, no one can investigate this matter. Just retire from the underworld.”
“It turns out that the host is an expert among tomb robbers. No wonder these professional tomb robbers have to beg you for help!”
“The host is awesome, awesome!”
Zhou Cheng’s panicked voice also sounded in the live broadcast room: “Brother Xuan, don’t be angry, we didn’t mean that…”
He didn’t seem to know what to say, and his tone was very flustered.
At this time, Zhou Zeyi’s voice also rang out: “Little brother, I’m sorry for causing you misunderstanding.”
“Let me explain it to you all.”
“actually…….”
He had just opened his mouth when a surprised voice suddenly came from the screen: “Oh my god, why is there a face there?”
