Jiang Nuo stood up, touched her left eye, and looked at Qin Sicun, "What did you do last night?"
Qin Sicun hesitated for a moment, her expression becoming more serious. "This is also something I wanted to tell you."
"I have a history of sleepwalking. Last night when I woke up, I was standing in the garden, but... I'm not sure if I was fully awake at that time."
Jiang Nuo: "You feel like you've seen something you don't usually see?"
Otherwise, they wouldn't be unable to distinguish between reality and dreams.
Qin Sicun nodded, looking tired and her voice hoarse.
"I saw Han Wenche being dragged into the cave."
Si Yan raised an eyebrow, looking at him with her phoenix eyes raised, "What's so strange about this?"
Qin Sicun held up both hands, indicating the size of a bowl. "The hole is only this big."
Si Yan withdrew her gaze and nodded in agreement, "That is indeed strange."
"Holy crap!" exclaimed the staff who were watching from behind.
"You mean such a big person was dragged into such a small hole?"
The director took a deep breath, his voice trembling, "Then... is he still alive?"
Qin Sicun shook her head, "I don't know. That hole is very deep. I tried inserting a three-meter-long bamboo pole after dawn, and it didn't even reach the end."
The director felt a wave of dizziness, realizing that his career had come to an end.
After confirming that Qin Sicun was alright, Jiang Nuo sat back down, finished the last sip of soup, wiped her mouth with a reserved air, and leaned on Si Yan's shoulder.
"Should we still try to save them?"
He scratched at the table with his fingers. "Actually, I'm not too keen on saving him."
The director was so frightened that his legs went weak and he knelt down on the ground with a thud.
"Ouch."
Jiang Nuo lowered her gaze, "You... don't really need to."
"Help! I need to be saved! Han Wenche has powerful connections! If anything happens to me, that sugar daddy will tear me apart!"
"Oh, which big spender?" Jiang Nuo asked with a curious look.
Director: "..."
Is this the important point? This!
"Yes... it's the president of Shuying Entertainment."
Si Yan frowned and scoffed, "A 60-year-old man, shameless."
The guests all exchanged meaningful glances.
The director, with a pained expression, said, "The key point is that they have a partnership with Wa Country. It's said that Han Wenche had some connections with Wa Country chaebol family before he went to Goryeo."
"What's their name, the Mikazuki Family?"
Si Yan's eyes narrowed slightly, "Mikazuki..."
" Mikazuki Shunsuke."
Jiang Nuo looked at him suspiciously, "Who is it?"
"The president of the Wa Country Association, a shameless illusionist."
Si Yan hung her head dejectedly, "I fought with him... and I lost."
"It's okay!" Jiang Nuo ruffled his hair. "Whenever I see him, I'll call him back for you."
Since Han Wenche has a connection with illusionists, Jiang Nuo felt she had to bring him back and ask him about the Mikazuki Family.
The group moved to the garden. Ming Xu clung to Han Wenche, looking down at the cave entrance in disbelief.
"This hole is so small."
Jiang Nuo probed the entrance and confirmed that this was indeed the passage leading to the underground tomb.
"Please make it bigger, everyone."
Jiang Nuo gestured to indicate the size, "At least big enough for a person to fit normally."
So the staff quickly got their tools and started digging a hole continuously.
Fortunately, only a few meters inside the hole needed to be dug open; below that, it was like an abyss, which could be easily opened with a single poke.
Jiang Nuo was the first to crawl in, then slowly extended a hand and gave an OK sign.
Several guests wanted to go on, but the director was really worried that something might happen to them. With the idea that they shouldn't put all their eggs in one basket, he stopped Ming Xu and Qin Sicun.
"They were more experienced last night, so you two shouldn't join in the fun."
The director finally managed to calm the two down and then tried to persuade Yang Xiaoxiao, but the young girl slipped away before he knew it, with Zhu An following closely behind.
"Eh..."
The director scratched his head and clasped his hands together in prayer.
"Please, please, please don't let anything happen!"
"May Buddha protect you, may Buddha protect you."
Ming Xu couldn't help but interrupt, "Director, God Nuo is a Daoist priest; praying to Buddha probably won't do any good."
Director: "..."
That's a really lame joke.
--
It was very quiet inside the cave.
Jiang Nuo took the lead, walking at the very front, using a flashlight for illumination, but the light couldn't reach the end.
According to the typical structure of a tomb, they are now in the passageway of the outer burial chamber.
"Sky..."
Yang Xiaoxiao exclaimed in surprise, shining her flashlight on the ground, "So many bones!"
Along the way forward, there were piles of human heads and bones, and even fresh corpses.
Without exception, each corpse had only a small part bitten off, with the rest of the body decaying naturally, which made the entire tomb passage reek of corpses.
The mixture of Corpse Qi and yin energy was extremely uncomfortable.
Swish--
Several ghostly figures flashed by, seemingly observing them.
Jiang Nuo greeted them very kindly, then set it on fire.
At the end of the passage was a stone gate, which was quite well-made.
"It shouldn't be an antique, right?" Jiang Nuo leaned closer to Si Yan and asked, "If it is, we'll take it upstairs and sell it secretly."
The two whispered secret plots.
Si Yan chuckled and rubbed Jiang Nuo's palm. "No, they're all fake. This stone gate, however, is several hundred years old."
He looked at Jiang Nuo with a leisurely and doting gaze, " Nuonuo, can you move upstairs?"
Jiang Nuo: "... Hmph."
While blasting open the stone door, he muttered to himself, "The ghosts inside have lived for hundreds of years, how come they wouldn't even leave a real one behind?"
"Useless ghost."
With a deafening roar, the stone gate exploded open. The ghostly figures floating around tried to stop it, but they were instantly burned to ashes whenever they tried to get close.
After a few such attacks, no ghost dared to rush forward again.
The clever ones had already rushed inside, trying to get a heads-up with the adults before they could.
Unexpectedly, it conveniently provided navigation for Jiang Nuo, saving her the trouble of finding her way.
The four of them followed the drifting ghostly figures deeper into the area. After walking for about ten minutes, they finally encountered their first ghost blocking their path.
This ghost seemed dedicated to turning all the ghosts in the tomb into his subordinates and protectors; even the ghosts blocking his way were dressed in the attire of generals.
But the short hair and red hair looked really out of place.
Jiang Nuo exclaimed, "What a magnificent cosplay!"
"You all, get out of here at once!"
The demon blocking the way grew larger, as if it could swallow all four of them whole in one gulp.
Jiang Nuo didn't even bother to lift a finger.
" Xiaoxiao, go!"
He waved.
Yang Xiaoxiao was caught off guard when her name was called. "Huh? It's me."
He pulled out a talisman from his bag, folded it quickly, and threw it at the ghost blocking his way, closing his eyes tightly and turning his head away as if afraid of getting hurt.
Bang--
The roadblock exploded.
Yang Xiaoxiao's mouth dropped open in surprise, "This... is so weak."
Even Zhu An, who was protecting her, hadn't expected this.
Don't let your guard down.
Jiang Nuo reminded her, pointing behind Yang Xiaoxiao.
The two girls reacted quickly, turning around to find that the demon that had just exploded blocking their path had split in two, becoming two giant demons of the same size, their combined forms almost filling the entire passage.
"What to do!"
Yang Xiaoxiao exclaimed, "The talisman doesn't seem to be working on him, Brother Jiang!"
Jiang Nuo waved again, " Si Yan, go!"
