The Chosen System: Counterattack with Husband

I don’t know if it’s because of the stereotype, but Xu Yiyu feels that the phrase “the guest should follow the host’s wishes” is normal if it comes from her, Xu, but it seems a bit “scary” when it comes from Rong Yan, a member of the theoretical group who has always been calm and rigorous in his style of doing things.

Although this brother named Rong is younger than himself, no matter what actions he performed before, it can be seen that he must have his own set of behavioral logic.

After turning around and saying this, Rong Yan walked a long way away in an instant. Xu Yiyu and Lin Yi did not hesitate any longer and followed him.

When they were about ten meters away from the coffin, Lin Yi approached Xu Yiyu and said something in a voice that only the two of them could hear.

"If we really need to open the coffin later, Mr. Xu, remember to pull Rong Yan to stand behind me as soon as possible after the coffin lid is opened."

"……it is good."

Xu Yiyu turned his head and looked at Lin Yi's resolute eyes, and still agreed to the request.

This is his professional consciousness as a criminal policeman. No matter how dangerous the situation is, he always wants to rush to the front line as much as possible to protect his companions behind him.

Even if it costs his own life to save his companions, it is worth it for him.

"Captain Lin, you should be careful too. If you make any mistakes, I'm afraid Honghong will break up with me after we get out."

After Xu Yiyu added this, he deliberately did not look at Lin Yi's surprised gaze. He took a few steps forward and walked to a position half a meter behind Rong Yan.

For Xu, the life safety of every companion is very important.

She would never allow such a thing as sacrifice to happen in the treasure hunting team where she was the leader.

Rong Yan was the first person to get within three meters of the coffin. He stood on the steps leading to the coffin and watched the black cat that had already jumped onto the coffin lid with familiarity. He stopped there and looked at it for a long time.

When he got closer, he truly felt the size of the coffin.

Even though it was only a few steps away from him, he still needed to raise his head slightly to see the entire coffin.

Not only was it much longer than the coffins in ordinary imperial tombs, its depth was also far beyond any coffin he had ever seen before.

If the owner of this underground palace really lies inside, assuming that he really lived in the Ming Dynasty several centuries ago.

The mere fact that he made this coffin was considered an act of treason for the ruling class at that time.

The word "exceeding the regulations" carried almost the same weight as sentencing an ordinary person to death at that time.

Rong Yan was shocked by the shape of the coffin in front of him, but the black cat that jumped onto the coffin lid had no worries at all. Not only did it roll over on the almost completely flat coffin lid as if it was going home, it even rubbed the front end of the coffin lid with its face as if it was very attached.

The coffin did not move at all because of the black cat's seemingly incredible action, nor did the "corpse resurrection" that Xu Yiyu had imagined appear.

The person who had already fallen asleep did not respond to Black Cat's actions, and it was probably impossible for him to respond again.

The black cat lay face down on the cold coffin lid for a long time. It did not seem to be affected by its owner's silence. It just rubbed against it a few times in a dependent manner before resuming its lying position.

It rested its face on its front paws, looked with its emerald green eyes at Xu Yiyu who was only a few meters away, and let out another low cry.

Xu Yiyu, who was already standing in front of the steps, did not look away at this time.

Black Cat's dependent attitude made her eyes sore, and she could almost immediately determine the identity of the person sleeping in the coffin.

——Who else except the little guy’s owner would treat it with such an intimate attitude.

Xu Yiyu closed his eyes, bowed towards the coffin, and apologized to the person lying in the coffin in his heart.

"Although I don't know your identity, I'm sorry to disturb your rest. I can only apologize to you in this way. I hope you won't blame me."

Rong Yan and Lin Yi also bowed to the coffin like Xu Yiyu.

Showing respect to a deceased person who was not extremely cruel is never superstition, but rather a reverence that should be maintained.

The black cat lay on the coffin lid without dodging or avoiding, and seemed to be unaware of the great gift it had received. Instead, its posture seemed more relaxed.

Almost at the same time when Xu Yiyu and Lin Yirongyan returned to their normal standing position, the black cat yawned lazily and jumped lightly off the coffin lid.

Just a few seconds later, the three people felt a chilly breeze blowing from the bottom of the coffin, as if it had accidentally blown away all the tiny particles of dust on the coffin.

Countless tiny dust particles were blown up by the wind, but instead of blowing towards the three outsiders, they were directed towards the corner of the wall behind the coffin.

Xu Yiyu had the best eyesight and clearly saw a very narrow crack suddenly appear in the corner of the wall behind the coffin, swallowing up all the dust that was about to fall to the ground.

Everything happened in just a dozen seconds. When the wind completely disappeared in the cave, the crack also miraculously disappeared.

Xu Yiyu, Rong Yan and Lin Yi looked at each other for a long time, and no one tried to explain what they had just seen.

If this was the response the tomb's master gave to their three visitors, then all the wonderful things that had happened since they met the black cat made sense.

At present, it seems that although the owner of the underground palace is a person with a somewhat evil taste, he is also a cautious and open-minded person.

He would use math problems and tricks to embarrass visitors to his resting place, and would also secretly use the eyes of a black cat to observe these visitors.

But for those he recognizes, just like Xuan Mao’s previous “gift-giving” behavior, he will also generously take out all his good things and sincerely “treat” them.

Xu Yiyu looked at the coffin carefully and found some differences between it and the coffin at the treasure auction.

There were obvious signs of weathering and damage on the surface and inside of the coffin. Although Xu had never seen the coffin lid with her own eyes, from the photos Tianlin showed her, she could tell that the degree of weathering on the coffin lid was consistent with the coffin itself.

Moreover, the appearance of that coffin was obviously much simpler than the one in front of him.

The owner of the underground palace obviously had no intention of compromising himself. Although the "bed" he prepared for himself did not have too many patterns, one could still see how carefully it was built.

Apart from the auspicious cloud and bat patterns surrounding the coffin lid, there are no obvious depressions on the lid. Instead, eaves like the roof of a palace are carved out at the four corners.

Seen from a distance, the coffin lid with its flying eaves even looked somewhat like the outer roof of a palace.

When they got close to the coffin, Xu Yiyu thought it was time to tell Lin Yi and Rong Yan about what happened at the treasure auction, so he spoke before the two of them were about to go forward to check the coffin.

"You two, it's time for me to tell you something."

Xu Yiyu took off his gloves, took out his mobile phone, retrieved the photo of the coffin from the Imperial Capital Treasure Auction from his photo album, and showed it in front of his two companions.

"Although it sounds unbelievable, I seem to have seen the same brother of this coffin at an auction I attended a month ago."
