Entertainment Secrets: Playing the role of Qilin, Mimi loves it so much

She lay quietly on the stone platform, her lips tightly pursed, her expression peaceful, as if she were asleep.

"Who is she?" Zhang Dada asked curiously.

"I don't know, I only heard people call her Her Royal Highness the Princess." Yang Mi replied.

"Could it be..." Zhang Dada's eyes widened as he muttered to himself, "Is she the legendary Queen of the Underworld?"

Ye Bai shook his head and denied it: "No, this is Her Royal Highness the Princess's sister."

"It turns out to be Her Royal Highness the Princess's sister." Zhang Dada said with relief.

Ye Bai said: "No matter who is buried here, we must kill her first!"

"Yeah." Yang Mi nodded in agreement, then she grasped the dagger at her waist and rushed towards the girl.

"Are you crazy? She's alive now!"

"A living person?" Yang Mi was stunned for a moment. She looked up and saw, as expected, pale green will-o'-the-wisp burning in the girl's eyes. Startled, Yang Mi retreated rapidly, hiding next to Ye Bai.

Ye Bai said, "It's okay. Although she is a ghost, due to special reasons, she is forever preserved in her current appearance. She has no offensive capabilities."

"That's it."

Yang Mi breathed a sigh of relief. She raised her dagger and slashed hard on the girl's arm.

Blood splashed all over Yang Mi's face.

But the girl showed no sign of resistance. She even stared at Yang Mi with a confused look, as if asking, "Why are you hurting me?"

"She's so pitiful..." Yang Mi sighed.

Ye Bai walked forward and punched the girl on the head. Immediately, the broken skull and internal organs poured out of her head and scattered in every corner of the tomb.

Yang Mi was extremely surprised. She had thought Ye Bai would kill the princess's sister, but he had destroyed her body. Wouldn't that mean there would be no clues left?

Yang Mi hurriedly walked over to Ye Bai, tugged at his sleeve, and said, "Hey, what should we do with her? Aren't you afraid she'll come back to life?"

Ye Bai glanced at her and said lightly, "Come on, do you think I'm stupid? In this situation, even if he really pretends to be dead, he must be a moron!"

Yang Mi: "..."

"Okay, I admit you're smart." Yang Mi rolled her eyes. "Since she's dead, let's quickly look for clues elsewhere."

"Let's go!" Ye Bai followed Yang Mi.

In this long corridor, they encountered more corpses, each of which conveyed different messages. At first, Ye Bai simply glanced at them and casually told Yang Mi the period of death and the time of their death, while Yang Mi listened carefully to every word.

They walked deeper and deeper until they finally reached the end.

There was a large altar. In its center, a hideous skeleton sat. Atop its head was a face, densely wrinkled and with sunken eye sockets. Its arms and neck were an abnormally grayish-black color, as if dehydrated. Its skin shrivelled and withered, as if it had lost all vitality.

"Could this be... the Necromancer?" Yang Mi asked in surprise.

"That should be the case." Ye Bai nodded.

Yang Mi walked forward and tentatively touched the skull. The skull instantly disappeared into thin air, turning into a wisp of smoke that slowly drifted away.

"So powerful?" Yang Mi was amazed. "How long does it take to cultivate to this level?"

"I don't know." Ye Bai shook his head: "But it seems that the Necromancer has not shown any signs of resurrection... Let's go somewhere else."

Yang Mi uttered an "Oh" and followed Ye Bai forward. Her feet rustled through the dead branches and rotten leaves. The two of them followed the corridor, passed through a long hallway, and arrived at another spacious tomb chamber.

There are many sarcophagi and wooden cabinets placed around the tomb chamber.

Ye Bai stood in the center of the tomb, looking around. Suddenly, he heard a faint cry. He turned his head and saw a protruding rock on the north side of the tomb, near the wall.

At the bottom of the rock, there is a row of small words engraved.

Ye Bai walked over, bent down, and took a closer look.

Tomb Chamber

Anyone who enters this tomb is a tomb robber. We advise you to return quickly and not to lose your life here for the sake of treasure.

Please do not damage the sarcophagus. It was a funerary object in ancient Egypt, containing hundreds of precious treasures whose value is inestimable.

[Tomb robbers, you will be severely punished! ]

Ye Bai narrowed his eyes and thought to himself: No wonder the necromancer didn't attack us just now. It seems that he regarded us as one of his own kind, or mistook us for some tomb robbers...

"Eh? What are these words?" Yang Mi squatted next to Ye Bai and saw the words on the tombstone.

[These sarcophagi and wooden cabinets have special curse effects. You'd better stay away from them.] Yang Mi muttered, "What a mess! Are these sarcophagi a mechanism?"

"You guessed right, this is indeed a trap." Ye Bai pointed to the side of the stone slab and said, "Look here—there is a line of small words here."

"What is it?" Yang Mi walked forward and took a closer look.

Ye Bai said: "There is a seal on the lids and boards of these sarcophagi. This seal has a defensive function and it is impossible to open it unless violent means are used. If violence is used, the seal will explode. Therefore, the only way is to use the key."

"What...is the key?"

Ye Bai explained, "I just observed that the coffin is the only intact part of the entire tomb. The seals on the coffin lid and coffin board are both quite strong, clearly cast with magic. And the princess is the only woman in this mausoleum, so magic is all that's needed to open the coffin."

Yang Mi nodded and praised: "You are great! You have understood all these things..."

Ye Bai shrugged: "Nothing, I've seen these things in ancient books."

The two of them circled the stone chamber again. Suddenly, Yang Mi noticed a few withered vines in the corner, crawling with black and purple ants. She reached out and grabbed one of them, then swung it to the other side. The vine's tip was tipped with poisonous stingers, which pierced the cracks in the stone bricks. Then, the bricks exploded, revealing the cavern within.

Yang Mi pulled Ye Bai's sleeve and said, "Let's go in and take a look."

The two of them went into the cave together.

After walking in the passage for a while, the view suddenly opened up.

The cave was large enough to accommodate three or four adult men. At the end of the cave stood a massive bronze tripod, its surface covered in thick metallic paint and mottled with rust.

The tripod stood about nine feet tall, narrow at the top and wide at the bottom. Its belly was intricately carved, and its mouth was over three feet wide. Within, a cloud of black mist swirled, coalescing into hideous, ghostly figures that howled in agony.
