Chapter 1424 Haunted?
Vanessa's expression changed slightly. In fact, Steve was right about what he said...
They really didn't find a way to open the secret room, and the detector in their hands had lost control!
But she refused to give in, raised her head and retorted: "Who said that? My instrument just malfunctioned just now!"
"The instrument is malfunctioning?" Nie Yao was stunned and looked at her in surprise: "Are you sure the detector in your hand is malfunctioning?"
"Of course I'm sure. Why would I lie about that?" Vanessa curled her lips and answered unhappily.
Several other members of Vanessa's team also nodded in agreement.
"Our equipment is in good condition and has not malfunctioned. I think it's just that you have bad character..." Steve suddenly laughed and couldn't help but mock Vanessa happily.
Vanessa's face darkened. She walked up to Steve in disbelief, frowned, and said, "Let me see!"
Steve was unwilling to give her the instrument in his hand. He just picked it up in front of her and tested the secret room. The clear reaction on it told them that there was indeed a metal object inside!
Vanessa frowned and tried their new detector again, which also showed normal...
"That means there was something wrong with the detector I used before!" Vanessa breathed a sigh of relief and murmured in a low voice.
"Can you give me the broken one to try?" Steve said casually. Vanessa nodded to her team member, and the team member handed the detector in his hand directly to Steve.
Vanessa was waiting to see Steve use the malfunctioning detector and find no results, but on the contrary, the malfunctioning detector returned to normal when it fell into Steve's hands!
"Look, it's the same display result. I think it's fine. You must have used it incorrectly, right?" Steve took the failure detector she mentioned and tried it several times. The display was normal every time, so he couldn't help but sneer and said.
Seeing this, the team members' faces suddenly changed. They said fearfully, "But it clearly malfunctioned just now. Even though we checked before leaving and everything was fine..."
"Yeah, it's fine now. Could it be...that this place is haunted?"
"Just now there were only a few of us here, but now there are more people... maybe it really was haunted!"
Several team members were talking to each other, their faces looking even paler under the dim light.
Vanessa's expression wasn't looking good either. She coldly scolded, "What nonsense are you talking about? You're all archaeologists, don't you even believe in science? You're talking about ghost stories and such nonsense!"
But several team members were still afraid, and two even wanted to leave first. Seeing this, Vanessa became even angrier.
Steve was actually a little timid when he heard that this place was haunted, but when he saw his senior Nie Yao, he seemed to be emboldened. He shrugged and said with a smile: "Since you are afraid, then we should stay here. Who knows what is in the secret room..."
Although Vanessa was reluctant, she was also worried that there might be something bad in the secret room. She nodded reluctantly and said, "You can stay if you want, but I have to say in advance that this place was discovered by us, and the results belong to us!"
Steve shrugged indifferently and turned his head to look at Nie Yao. Just as he was about to ask what Nie Yao meant, he saw that Nie Yao had already put his hand on the stone wall, as if gesturing something.
"What are you doing?" Vanessa asked in confusion.
"Please move aside..." Nie Yao said in a deep voice.
