Fortunately, the mummy inside the coffin, missing a leg and an arm, remained in a peaceful state and showed no signs of rising from the dead.
Having finally finished investigating all the rooms in the left corridor, Ji Qian returned to the central round platform and saw Han Mengyao and Mi Yesi resting on the edge of the platform from afar.
"Sister Meng, you guys are so fast!"
Actually, apart from spending a little time in the first room, Ji Qian and her group passed through the next few rooms almost quickly.
So when Ji Qian saw Han Mengyao, who had obviously been waiting for a long time, she couldn't help but admire her speed.
“Our area consists mostly of bedrooms and living rooms, so there’s not much to investigate, which is why it was faster.”
As Han Mengyao spoke, she took out a wet wipe from her backpack and wiped the dust off Ji Qian's face, which had somehow gotten on her.
Ji Qian showed no resistance to Han Mengyao's sudden action. In fact, she even lowered her body to make it easier for Han Mengyao to move.
[Sigh, these two are so natural!]
[If it were someone else on the other end, I would suspect that Han Mengyao was trying to take the opportunity to remove her makeup.]
【Aaaaaah, I declare them locked up here forever! I'm swallowing the key!】
【If all else fails, kill me to liven things up for you two】
Haha, wouldn't that scare Sister Qian to death?
[Help! Mimi is still helping with the lighting!]
Another day of shedding tears for the girls' friendship.
"Huh, are Teacher Xu and the others still not done?"
Sometimes you have to admire the assistant director's dedication; at such a moment, he was the only one still concerned about the safety of the other group of guests.
Ji Qian wasn't worried about this at all:
"It's alright. Don't let Xu Qi's appearance fool you; he's still very reliable when it matters."
Before the words were finished, a familiar angry shout came from the right corridor:
"The Supreme Holy Law is vast and boundless; we urge you to obey the Emperor's decree!"
Immediately afterwards, a golden light shone down in the right corridor and quickly spread toward where Ji Qian and the others were.
Nora felt a tearing pain all over her body as soon as the golden light appeared. She staggered back a few steps, her legs gave way, and she knelt on the ground.
Count Lanruer's condition was even more serious than hers; he not only coughed up blood, but his body also began to become unsteady and ethereal.
Seeing this, Ji Qian didn't care about anything else, grabbed a sickle and stepped forward to block the two ghosts.
Ji Qian raised both hands, aimed at the direction of the golden light, and then slashed downwards with all her might.
As the blade fell, the golden light was abruptly split in the middle, bypassing the two ghosts protecting Ji Qian behind her.
"What's wrong, Qianqian? Did something happen?"
Han Mengyao and the others, who had watched the whole thing from the sidelines, were all stunned.
Due to the limitations of their glasses, they couldn't see the overwhelming golden light that was about to hit them; they only saw two ghosts suddenly fall to the ground and Ji Qian forcefully swinging her sword into the void.
Ji Qian was already used to the information gap between herself and others, so she wasn't in a hurry to explain. She simply instructed Han Mengyao:
"There's something going on with Xu Qi, so don't move around. I'm going to check it out."
After speaking, Ji Qian quickly ran towards the right corridor, and soon her figure disappeared into the darkness.
The assistant director, mindful of his mission as a photographer, wanted to chase after them, but Han Mengyao grabbed him.
"Assistant Director, don't worry. We don't know the situation over there yet. If we go, it might affect Qianqian's performance."
As they were talking, Han Mengyao gave Mi Yesi a wink, and Mi Yesi quickly stepped forward, grabbed the assistant director's other arm, and together with Han Mengyao, pressed him to the spot.
Let go of that old man, let me handle this!
[Wait, what exactly happened just now?]
Did you all see that golden light? Surely I wasn't the only one who saw it?
[I saw it! What a spectacular scene!]
The real-life scenes are indeed much more stunning than the special effects.
[Speaking of which, could that have been Xu Qi's doing?]
[No way, Xu Qi has this trick up his sleeve?]
[It's possible that the voice chanting the incantation at the beginning sounded a lot like Xu Qi.]
That's a Taoist incantation called "Golden Light Exorcising Evil," but this is the first time I've ever seen someone wield such power.
Am I the only one who feels that Earl Lanruer is about to shatter?
It's true! His skin has become much lighter in color.
[Aaaaaah, his face is starting to distort too!!!]
[So, the face was maintained by magic before.]
[After all, he was crushed to death; it couldn't possibly be that aesthetically pleasing.]
[Sister Qian ran way too fast, I'm going to throw up!]
In terms of stability, Ji Qian's head-mounted camera is certainly not as good as a regular camera.
Her rapid running motion further aggravated the swaying frequency of the live stream screen, making viewers dizzy.
Within seconds, the screen was flooded with comments like "I feel like throwing up," "I'm so dizzy," and "I can't take it anymore," making Director Liu extremely anxious and almost call to warn Ji Qian.
Fortunately, this distressing scene did not last long. Following the lingering golden light, Ji Qian quickly found the scene of the incident.
As soon as Ji Qian entered the room, she saw Ying Xu holding Xu Qi, who was clearly unconscious, sitting against the wall. Not far in front of them stood a wooden cabinet that was more than two meters tall.
The wardrobe doors were wide open, and on the wall behind the wardrobe was a brownish human-shaped mark, beneath which was a pile of charcoal.
What happened?
Faced with Ji Qian's question, Ying Xu suppressed his chaotic emotions and tried his best to appear calm as he told Ji Qian what had just happened in the room.
As the saying goes, practice makes perfect.
Although he wasted a lot of time in the first room, Ying Xu quickly mastered the most important trick to breaking down the door in the second room: don't hand the hammer to Xu Qi.
As expected, thanks to Ying Xu's efforts, they broke through the second door in just twenty minutes.
Although this speed is still much slower than that of other groups, it can be considered a milestone for Ying Xu and his partner.
Perhaps it was this brief success that caused Ying Xu to lose his previous sharpness and caution during the search.
Upon seeing a huge cabinet in the room, Ying Xu instinctively stepped forward to open the door, but he was stopped by Xu Qi, who was eager to end the search:
"I think I heard Ji Qian and the others' voices. Should we go back to the center point and take a look?"
Ying Xu had no objection to this, but as soon as he turned around to walk out, he found himself frozen in place!
At this moment, Xu Qi seemed to realize that Ying Xu hadn't followed, so he turned around as if to say something.
The next second, Ying Xu saw Xu Qi's cheeks, which had been somewhat rosy, quickly turn pale, and even his lips turned bluish.
