Chapter 98 Desert Search (21) - Si Zhong Chases After Him
A large hole had been made in the wall in front of us, and there seemed to be another space inside the hole.
It was too dark inside for her to see clearly, so she took out her flashlight and shone it inside. Sure enough, there was something fishy behind that wall.
The light clearly illuminated a coffin in the middle of the space, and the glasses provided a clue—"the remains of a favored concubine."
Why didn't the glasses provide any indication of this space? For example, that it was a "favored concubine's tomb" or something like that.
Moreover, if it were a normal tomb, why would it be hidden behind this wall?
Judging from the signs of damage, it appears to have been caused by violent breaching of the wall; there are no signs of a door being installed.
This design is extremely impolite; it clearly shows a lack of respect for the favored concubine.
Why can't she have a decent tomb? Why doesn't her tomb even have a door?
Ning Shu decided to go in and see what was going on. There were still a few bricks under her feet, so she carefully stepped in.
Once inside, the flashlight beam shone on the ground, and I noticed a rectangular wooden plank lying there.
The wooden board was placed in a rather abrupt and even somewhat irregular position; in other words, it looked like it had been carelessly tossed aside.
As soon as Ning Shu thought about it, he suddenly felt a chill run down his spine. Could this so-called "wooden board" be a coffin lid?
Ning Shu suddenly felt her legs go weak. She was really afraid of this "thing," mainly due to psychological pressure.
Seeing a coffin and seeing a coffin with its lid open create different psychological pressures.
Even though she had experienced such a large-scale event as the Red Brick Factory, she still felt a pang of sympathy.
She thought for a moment, and realized that a million dollars seemed to have been here just now. Could it be his doing?
What's wrong with him? Does he have a habit of uncovering other people's secrets, or is his mission to uncover what's inside the coffin?
Did he find it? Did he flip all the coffin lids?
Maybe it wasn't made for a million, considering how many players came in, right?
But after they left, it seemed like Sister Li and her group were walking this way; maybe it was them.
After Ning Shu finished his whimsical ramblings, the flashlight beam unconsciously shone upwards, illuminating the dark, open opening.
She suddenly felt a chill down her back for no apparent reason and couldn't help but swallow.
That favored concubine won't suddenly sit up or anything, will she? If she wants to get up, please wait until she leaves before coming back.
Please! Don't force me to kneel down and beg you!
In Ning Shu's mind, a little figure shouted, both "fierce" and cowardly.
"Sister Ning."
"ah!"
Wu Yi's greeting startled Ning Shu, who was "worldly-wise," into screaming like a groundhog, thus curing her lack of stress response.
Not only was Ning Shu frightened, but Wu Yi was also startled by her scream, after all, this was the first time.
Wu Yi thought to himself, "So even Sister Ning has her cowardly moments."
Ning Shu has been a coward far too often, but we haven't seen her martial arts skills, or perhaps it's because her acting skills are so good that they haven't shown it.
After Ning Shu discovered it was Wu Yi, she couldn't help but scold him: "You walk silently, but suddenly you make a sound and scare people. You almost scared me to death. You're so ungrateful!"
Wu Yi also realized that he had made a mistake. Although he couldn't see Ning Shu's expression because it was too dark, he could tell from her voice that she must have been terrified because her voice was trembling.
"I'm sorry, I just wanted to tell you about my discovery."
Upon hearing this, Ning Shu felt it was necessary to listen, but she had a bit of a psychological aversion to this place, so she quickly stepped out to get away from it before listening to Wu Yi speak.
Once the two were away from the hole in the wall, Ning Shucai spoke up: "Tell me, what did you find?"
Ning Shu's expression had softened considerably; she was no longer as pale as she had been when she was frightened.
Wu Yi held up the Anka in his hand: "I found the object. It turns out that when I touched it, the blurry block in the upper left corner would suddenly become clear, and I knew it was it."
This is really good news. Ning Shu asked him how he discovered it.
Wu Yi felt that the person he should thank the most was Ning Shu, because her method worked.
He did as she instructed, taking the gold-plated dagger and using it to cut.
As the saying goes, perseverance pays off; he found his target item after searching through only a few.
It was a strange feeling. When his hand touched the object, he suddenly felt a chill run through his body, and then the blurry block in the upper left corner of his vision instantly became clear.
He knew he had found the target item, and he was overjoyed. He immediately wanted to share it with Ning Shu.
He couldn't see where she was, but he did see the hole in the wall inside.
Remembering that she had been standing near the cave entrance, I guessed she might have gone inside, so I came to find her, which led to what happened just now.
After listening, Ning Shu nodded, and just as she was about to speak, she widened her eyes and looked behind Wu Yi.
That expression startled Wu Yi, who thought there was some monster behind him. But when he turned around, he saw that very powerful player.
Although I know this player is a bit crazy, he's really strong, and I admire him from the bottom of my heart.
Ning Shu had no idea what Wu Yi was thinking; if she did, she would definitely think he was a bit dim-witted.
She didn't understand why a million dollars would be here, and she didn't understand why the glasses hadn't given her any clues.
Oh, actually, the glasses did give a hint, but she was listening to Wu Yi with her head down and was too engrossed in thinking, so she didn't notice the arrival of the golden light.
Looking at the other party's expression, Ning Shu had a feeling that the million-dollar offer was not a friendly offer.
Si Zhong's intentions were indeed ill-intentioned, because he realized he had been tricked.
Let's go back to the time when he met Ning Shu and the others and they were taking off their slippers.
Si Zhong saw two players whose skin was tanned like that of Africans playing something very new, and he found it an eyesore.
At that time, he did not recognize Ning Shu. Whether it was because she had followed him or because of her reminder from Oasis, it did not leave a deep impression on him.
After all, in his eyes, good looks are the basic requirement for him to notice someone.
Ning Shu's less-than-ideal face and short stature, coupled with his dark skin, made him seem utterly ordinary in his eyes.
In fact, Ning Shu's features, while not exceptionally beautiful, were above average in appearance, though far inferior to Si Zhong's.
But for Si Zhong, this was not important; all players were the same in his eyes.
He didn't really want to go past them, so he chose to go to the other exit. He figured he was going to search them anyway, and it wouldn't matter if he came back later.
He conducted a thorough search of the pharaoh's tomb, even lifting the lid of the pharaoh's coffin, but still couldn't find his target.
He also discovered the stone tablet on the ground and naturally learned about the so-called Pharaoh's last wishes, but he wasn't interested.
Si Zhong found no valuable clues here, so he went to the corridor leading to the Queen's Tomb again and found that the two players from before were gone.
