Chapter 221 Woman in White (11)

Tianyu walked in front and Yinli walked behind, protecting Gu Chang in the middle.

"System, are there any other people in here besides us?" To be on the safe side, Gu Chang asked the system to confirm the situation in this ancient tomb first.

The system said, "Hmm!" "Master, I can't seem to sense what's going on in here."

Considering the common situation, the system can only pay more attention to the surrounding situation.

The ancient tomb didn't seem to be completely enclosed. I could still feel a slight breeze with a slight smell of blood.

The further you go, the more bloodstains there are on the walls.

Even pale human skeletons began to appear.

After walking for a while, there was a fork in the road.

"Young Master, the smell of blood is stronger on the right." Yin Li reminded.

"Host, I'm fine again. You can go to the left. The left is safer. The right... there are dead people on the right, and there are traps." The system said halfway with joy, and then the tone became weaker. It showed Gu Chang a photo.

The photo shows a man with a purple face and wide-open eyes, and blood all over his body.

Gu Chang recognized him; he was one of the people following Xiao Su.

"Go left." Gu Chang made the choice, and the three of them walked towards the left.

The further you go, the narrower the road becomes.

Finally, the three of them passed through the passage, and the scene before them suddenly became clear.

This is a semicircular room filled with various porcelains, gold, silver, jewelry, and several large boxes.

In the light of the candle, these jade and gold artifacts are all sparkling.

Zhuang Wu was desperately trying to stuff the jewelry into his clothes, and he didn't notice the arrival of Gu Chang and the others at all.

Tianyu spoke first, "Zhuang Wu!"

Zhuang Wu stopped what he was doing when he heard someone calling his name, and slowly turned to look behind him. When he saw that it was Gu Chang and the other two, he suddenly stood up, opened his arms, and protected the gold, silver, and jewelry behind him. "These are all mine! Don't even think about taking them!"

"Where are Xiao Su and the others?" Gu Chang didn't want to waste time talking to him and asked him directly.

Zhuang Wu was stunned for a moment, then his mouth widened into a strange grin. "I told you, anyone who comes to the ancient tomb will die. They didn't listen and insisted on coming in! Dead! Dead! They're all dead!!!"

At this moment, a soft and soothing song sounded.

It seemed like they were singing an ancient nursery rhyme, but it was not a language that Tianyu and Yinli were familiar with.

Because Gu Chang had the "Language Encyclopedia", he knew what the song was about.

"Oh, great God, please don't blame me. Blame these people for being too greedy!"

"It's not my fault that I failed to protect your tribute. It's these bandits' fault. They are greedy! Shameless!"

"Oh, great God, if you want to blame someone, blame these bandits. If you truly blame them, please bring down divine punishment!"

Gu Chang, “…”

The system, which also understood, responded, "······Are you trying to pass the buck?"

"Ah! Ah! She's coming! The female ghost is coming!" Zhuang Wu suddenly collapsed when he heard the song. He hugged the jewels in his clothes and ran towards the passage in panic.

"Young Master, are you leaving?" Tian Yu looked at Gu Chang.

"Follow them first." Gu Chang was not interested in jewelry. He just wanted to know what secrets this ancient tomb held.

When he returned to the fork in the road, he saw Xiao Su, covered in blood, grabbing Zhuang Wu's neck, panting and growling, "You bastard! You tricked us into going right and caused the death of my brothers!"

Zhuang Wu was lifted up by the neck, his legs were constantly twisting and turning, and his hands were desperately scratching Xiao Su's arms.

Xiao Su noticed Gu Chang and the others. He let go of his hand, picked up the meteor hammer on the ground, and ran straight towards Gu Chang.

Yin Li took the lead in the attack. She was agile and used the wall to fly into the air. She came in front of Xiao Su, wrapped her long legs around Xiao Su's thick arms, and then used her waist and abdomen to exert force to dislocate his arm.

Tian Yu followed closely behind, took out a dart from his waist and shot it out, then quickly approached Xiao Su, holding a handful of sleeping pills in his hand.

Xiao Su suddenly shouted loudly and stabilized his lower body. He was as strong as an ox and charged directly towards Tian Yu.

Seeing this, Yin Li, who had already kept his distance, stepped forward quickly, wrapped his arms around Xiao Su's neck, and strangled him hard.

Xiao Su wanted to continue fighting, but Tian Yu smeared his face with sleeping pills. He gradually lost his strength and fainted on the ground.

Zhuang Wu grabbed a handful of jewels and desperately crawled out on the ground. His vision became blurred due to congestion, but he could still vaguely see the moonlight outside the stone gate.

"Young Master, do you want to kill him?" Yin Li asked calmly.

Gu Chang shook his head gently, "Let's wait until they wake up."

Then Gu Chang looked towards the passage on the right. At the end of the passage, stood a woman in white.

Yinli and Tianyu felt something was wrong and looked in the direction Gu Chang was looking.

The woman in white was pale, and her figure was like a ghost, and she quickly came in front of Gu Chang. Yin Li and Tian Yu reacted quickly and stood in front of Gu Chang, staring at the woman in white vigilantly.

"You...you are my kind." The voice of the woman in white was cold, without much ups and downs, like an ice-cold machine.

"Who are you?!" Tian Yu asked coldly.

The woman in white still kept her eyes on Gu Chang. She suddenly smiled and said, "Let's go. Let's go quickly before the gods bring down their punishment." After she said that, she turned and left.

"Let's go." Gu Chang frowned slightly. This woman in white was the one who sang earlier. However, she gave Gu Chang a very strange feeling. He didn't know what she was trying to show off.

After they came out, they took Zhuang Wu and Xiao Su away with them.

The next morning, the crowing of roosters continued.

When Zhuang Wu woke up, he saw Xiao Su's pale and red face.

Zhuang Wu was so frightened that he screamed and kicked his feet to back away, but there was a wall behind him and he couldn't retreat no matter how hard he tried.

"Stop shouting." Tianyu came over and scolded.

Zhuang Wu's mouth suddenly tightened, and then he looked at Gu Chang and Yin Li who were sitting at the table not far away, with hot buns in their hands.

Seeing the desire in Zhuang Wu's eyes, Gu Chang gestured to Tian Yu to give him a bun.

Seeing the buns approaching, Zhuang Wu wanted to reach out to take them, but found that his hands were tied behind his back. "You! Why are you tying me up?!"

"I'll ask you a few questions. If you answer honestly, I'll untie you." Gu Chang took a sip of hot tea, then put down the teacup and looked at Zhuang Wu.

Zhuang Wu swallowed and said, "Go ahead."

"What happened last night when you and Xiao Su went in?" Gu Chang asked in a gentle tone.

Zhuang Wu's eyes rolled. He first looked down at his arms. When he found that the jewelry was gone, his pupils shrank suddenly. "Where's my money?"

"What do you mean by your money? That belongs to the tomb owner." Tian Yu retorted to him rudely.

"We're all dead now, so why bother telling who owns what? Whoever sees it first owns it!" Zhuang Wu said as Tian Yu took the buns away. He sniffed the delicious aroma of the buns, curled his lips, and softened his tone. "Xiao Su and the others kidnapped me last night and took me into the ancient tomb with them."

"At the fork in the road, they couldn't agree, so they fanned me awake and asked me which way to go. I said I didn't know, but they didn't believe me and asked me to choose one. I chose the right path, but I didn't go forward. There was a raised rock there, so I hid behind it."

"When Xiao Su and the others saw that I hadn't come out, they sent someone to look for me, and then that person triggered the mechanism and died. Only Xiao Su survived. This is not my fault. I said I didn't know, but they forced me to make the choice."

"Then, when I saw there were no more traps, I ran out to the left path and found the treasure there. And then, I met you," Zhuang Wu said, licking his dry lips. "I swear, I'm telling the truth, and this time it's true. If I'm lying, may the heavens strike me dead."

Gu Chang raised his chin slightly, "Tianyu, give it to him."

Tianyu untied the ropes on Zhuang Wushou's hands and handed him the meat bun.

Zhuang Wu was very hungry. He swallowed the meat bun whole and then stared at the plate of meat buns on the table.

"Yinli, what do you think?" Gu Chang asked whether Zhuang Wu was telling a lie this time.

Yin Li understood what Gu Chang meant. She had previously worked in the Night Shadow Guard's surveillance department, and was well aware of the subtle expressions and movements people made when they lied. Furthermore, she was in charge of interrogations, and her partner was Ling Xing.

"It's a mixture of truth and falsehood, sir. Do you need me to interrogate him?" Yin Li smiled slightly.

"No rush, another person has woken up." Gu Chang curled his lips and smiled, his gaze shifting to Xiao Su who had just opened his eyes.

The first person Xiao Su saw was Zhuang Wu. His face suddenly became ferocious. "Damn it! You're still alive!!"

Zhuang Wu was so frightened that he rolled and crawled behind Tian Yu, "No, no, no! This is none of my business!"

Xiao Su found himself tied up. He glared at Gu Chang and the others angrily, "Damn it! Are you in cahoots with this bastard?!"

"No, I just want to know what happened to you in the ancient tomb last night." Gu Chang shook his head slightly, denying Xiao Su's words.

"Then give me some relief! Otherwise there's no room for negotiation!" Xiao Su said gritting his teeth.
