Entertainment Secrets: Playing the role of Qilin, Mimi loves it so much
Chapter 238: The Woman Used as Bait, 1 Deal
He turned back to Meng Ziyi and the other man and asked, "Are you all right?"
Yang Mi said, "I was so scared... I thought I had encountered a zombie." She complained, "Brother Ye, why would you provoke that kind of thing?"
Meng Ziyi also complained: "Yes, Mr. Ye, you are deliberately making us worry."
Ye Bai smiled and said, "Okay, I'm back safely, right? Don't forget we still have a mission."
He pointed at the zombie and explained, "Just now I saw this guy peeping over the coffin, so I gave him a lesson. Who would have thought that he was so tough and still alive?"
Yang Mi breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I was scared to death."
Ye Bai said, "Okay, let's go in and take a look. I think there will be other mechanisms inside."
She walked over and pushed the door, but the iron door didn't move at all.
Ye Bai pushed hard, but there was still no movement. He tried firing a few times, but to no avail.
"This door is a bit troublesome." Ye Bai said.
Meng Ziyi also came over to study it for a while.
"Brother Ye, it seems we need to find the key." Yang Mi said.
Ye Bai sighed: "The key must be hidden in the tomb owner's bedroom. Let's go find it."
They walked around the main hall and finally reached the end, where they saw a vermilion-lacquered gate about five or six meters high. The gate was carved with intricate and gorgeous totems, which were dazzling to the eyes.
They knocked on the door, and an old cough was heard from inside. A moment later, the door slowly moved, revealing a narrow passage.
"Go in." Ye Bai took the lead and walked in, Meng Ziyi and Yang Mi hurriedly followed.
They walked step by step towards the house. The further they went, the dimmer the light became. When they walked through the corridor and stepped into a spacious and bright room, they suddenly heard a baby crying.
Ye Bai stopped, looked around with an alert expression.
Yang Mi said in surprise, "Why is there a baby crying here? It's so strange."
Meng Ziyi said, "Not only are there children crying, but there are also many of them."
Ye Bai narrowed his eyes and looked around.
This is a huge secret room that occupies half of the entire ancient tomb. It is surrounded by closed stone walls on all sides, with many shelves in the center, and each shelf is filled with various utensils.
There are pottery jars, porcelain bowls, copper basins, bamboo baskets, etc., which are filled with water, but have dried up and their shapes are blurred.
In addition, there are many bones, skulls, and even an arm. They are lying on the shelves in all directions, indicating that they have been dead for a long time, at least hundreds of years.
Yang Mi covered her mouth: "Why are there so many dead bodies here..."
Ye Bai looked around and said, "It seems that something extraordinary is buried here." He suddenly felt a chilling wind. This chilling air was so chilling that it made his hair stand on end, as if countless tiny snakes were crawling on his back.
At this time, a prompt appeared on Meng Ziyi's computer screen.
"You have new mail."
He opened his mailbox and found an anonymous letter that read: "I know what you want. I will lead you to the truth and hope you will keep your promise."
Signed at the end - "Owner of Huangquan Inn".
"The boss's email!" Yang Mi exclaimed and took out the tablet computer she carried with her to check the email records.
Ye Bai took a glance and said calmly, "He wants to negotiate a deal with me."
Meng Ziyi said: "This guy is not simple! He actually knows what we are looking for."
Ye Bai chuckled, "If he really knew, he would have left long ago. Why would he stay and wait for us? He must be trying to use us to help him find what he wants. In any case, let's go in first."
The three of them continued walking forward.
There is another new email on Meng Ziyi's phone.
"I need a woman as bait. She has a jade pendant on her. Please give it to her and wish her a safe journey."
Yang Mi was stunned and asked, "Who is this person?"
Meng Ziyi shook his head and said, "These things are too weird."
Ye Bai patted his shoulder and said, "You have to learn to adapt to this world."
After saying this, he walked towards the pile of corpses in the corner. Meng Ziyi and Yang Mi followed him and watched him rummage through the corpses.
"This is... human bones?" Yang Mi was shocked: "Oh my God!"
Meng Ziyi also frowned.
Ye Bai said: "This is not a bone. It can only be considered some kind of parasite."
He picked up a completely eaten limb and threw it aside, then squatted down and picked up a metal plate from the neck of a corpse. The surface of the plate was covered with cracks, like a piece of glass.
He raised his hand, examined the sign carefully, and then tucked it into his trouser pocket.
Meng Ziyi asked, "What is that?"
Ye Bai said, "This thing is called the 'Pluto Amulet'. It's a very powerful magic weapon. It can summon the underworld messenger and ensure the ghost's reincarnation."
"Is this true?" Meng Ziyi was surprised. "Are all the people buried here ghosts?"
Yang Mi also said: "Oh, that's right, those corpses were so strange. I thought they were buried alive. It turns out they all died here."
Ye Bai smiled and said, "You guessed right."
Yang Mi complained, "That's terrifying! I thought we were on an adventure."
Meng Ziyi said, "Whether it's an adventure or not, we're already here. I think we should get down to business."
Ye Bai said, "Yes. Go check those coffins."
Meng Ziyi immediately ran to check the coffin, while Yang Mi stood on the other side, observing the dead bodies curiously.
Ye Bai stood in front of the group of corpses.
Most of the bodies were male. They were dressed in ornate clothing, and their features could not be seen clearly. However, the fabric was soft and exquisite, likely the standard attire of the royal family.
Their faces were pale and gray, their skin was loose and stiff, their bodies were hunched, and their legs were bent, as if they had endured great pain.
"Huh!" Ye Bai stared at the corpse and muttered to himself, "This corpse is a little special..."
He reached out his hand, his fingertips touching the cold, stiff flesh of the corpse. A strange thought emerged in his mind, and he immersed his spiritual consciousness into the corpse's brain.
At this moment, an old voice appeared in his ears: "Welcome to another world, my friend."
Ye Bai opened his eyes and saw a piece of paper in his palm. On it was a string of words that completely matched the old man's voice.
"My surname is Chen, my given name is Fu. I'm an Onmyoji."
Ye Bai suppressed all his emotions and said calmly, "Mr. Chen."
"Your courage is admirable," the other person praised. "In my long life, not many people have been able to resist fear."
Ye Bai said modestly, "Mr. Chen, you are too kind. I am just used to looking fear in the face."
"Haha! To be honest, I really like looking young people in the face of fear."
The other party said, "However, I want to tell you that the underworld is more dangerous than you think. There are many fierce and powerful evil spirits here, and they will devour any enemy who dares to covet their territory!"
