During the days when Wei Hongguang was placed here as an NPC along with the zombie and the coffin, all he could hear were the screams and laughter of the visitors in the haunted house. There was not a single peaceful day and he was almost stricken by the noise.

That's why when Ling removed the seal on the coffin, he was so resentful that he directly blew off the coffin lid.

Zhang Wangzhou led his men to clear out and seal off the haunted house, and asked the Happy Valley management to investigate the origin of the coffin.

Zhong Xian and several other police officers were there, discussing how to deal with the coffin and Wei Hongguang.

"This thing is considered evidence of a crime, but it's also considered a cultural relic, right? How about calling a few people from the Archaeological Institute to help protect it?"

"But what about this zombie? He can bite people."

Zhong Xian looked at Shi Ling, "Shi Ling, what do you think we should do?"

Shi Ling: "That's easy. I'll seal him back."

Wei Hongguang hurriedly stopped him, "Stop! I don't bite! I bit that guy because I was grouchy after getting up. I'm an old man who's been lying down for hundreds of years. Can't you give me a break?"

Of course, Wei Hongguang is more curious about the current China.

During the year in the haunted house, although he was trapped in the coffin, he was able to get a glimpse of some things from the words of the tourists passing by.

Today, China enjoys peace and prosperity, with its people having enough food and clothing. There is no more war, no invasion by Western powers, and no more humiliation of ceding territory and paying indemnities.

Wei Hongguang's eyes were filled with admiration and emotion: "I want to see which emperor can end the decadent last dynasty and create the Kangxi and Qianlong prosperity again."

Zhong Xian couldn't help but burst out laughing. "What emperor, Lord Wei? After your death for more than a decade, there will be no emperor in China. Now is a new era of equality for all."

Wei Hongguang was slightly stunned. "No emperor? All under heaven is united? Who drove away the foreign powers?"

In his impression, even the Western countries at that time, although they had advanced weapons, were also led by emperors.

Zhong Xian held her head high and stood in awe: "It is the people who are united under the leadership of the Party!"

Wei Hongguang was even more shocked. Could it be the common people, once as insignificant as ants? How could they withstand the artillery shells and fleets of the great powers?

Seeing this, Shi Ling said, "Take him back to the police station first and buy him a history book. He shouldn't have time to think about anything else. You can also call the people from the Archaeological Research Institute tomorrow. I'm sure they and Lord Wei will have a lot to talk about. Call me if anything unexpected happens."

Zhong Xian: "Okay."

After getting Shi Ling's promise, several policemen moved the coffin and the zombie back to the police station.

When passing by a bookstore, Wei Hongguang followed Zhong Xian in to choose books.

Because today is Halloween, Wei Hongguang, dressed in Qing Dynasty official uniform, jumped and followed Zhong Xian, but did not cause panic among the bookstore staff, who just thought they were cosplayers.

Zhong Xian: "Master Wei, what book would you like to read? Please choose for yourself."

Wei Hongguang was fascinated by these beautifully bound books, and couldn't put them down as he stroked the pages with his fingers. However, when he saw the simplified Chinese characters inside, he was stunned for a long time: "Why are these characters incomplete?"

Zhong Xian: "This is simplified Chinese. Simplified Chinese is used nowadays. It's normal that you didn't recognize it since you died early. I'll find a traditional Chinese version for you."

Wei Hongguang: "How ridiculous! You are absurd! Those characters have been passed down for thousands of years. Why are you forgetting your roots and using these incomplete characters instead? In such a vast country like China, is there really no one who uses traditional Chinese characters?"

Zhong Xian: "Well, there are some. The Wan Province uses traditional Chinese characters. Lord Wei, the simplified Chinese characters are used to promote Chinese characters, so that everyone can learn to read."

Wei Hongguang was shocked again, "Everyone can read?!"
