What strange things have not been seen by those who do archeological research? Especially those who research ancient tombs?
The decomposing corpses, carefully cleaned up little by little, are treated like a treasure. If the tomb’s owner has long since rotten into the tomb, then they must search for traces in the mud.
ā€œThe burial is full of resentment, which results in the qi <sup>1</sup> spreading with the wind and stopping the boundary of water. The ancients gathered the envoys so that the qi wouldn’t disperse, and called it Feng Shui <sup>2</sup> .ā€ After so many years of archeological study, Qin Cheng believed in the scientificalness of Feng Shui, however, he didn’t believe in the theory of the existence of ghosts.
In his opinion, ghosts were nothing more than people’s fears and superstitions of strange forces. When their own abilities weren’t enough to compete with the forces of nature, they created many personified ghosts. Although Li Guoxian said that as an archeologist he should have respect and fear for everything, none of his students listened to his words.
However, the things in front of him seemed to be defeating everything Qin Cheng thought he knew.
The night was terribly quiet, and even though it was very late at night, such silence was actually very unnatural.
Looking at those white knuckles joints, Qin Cheng suddenly remembered a time when he visited a friend working in a forensic lab, in which he saw some bodies that were there for over ten days. All of them looked so ghastly pale. At that time, Qin Cheng thought that there shouldn’t be anything to fear from dead people, because they were just inanimate objects, and could no longer be regarded as human objects.
However, at this moment, after seeing the fingers that creaked as they moved, Qin Cheng felt a chill all over his body.
After taking a deep breath, and then holding his breath again, Qin Cheng moved forward step by step, carefully observing Zhang Xiaome’s movements. In the end, Qin Cheng didn’t know how to save Wu Hai. At the very least, he knows that he must pull the unconscious Wu Hai away from the fence.
After being one step closer to them, Qin Cheng found that there was something wrong. In the dark of the night, and even with his glasses on, it was impossible for him to clearly see the whole situation from such a distance, but as he approached, he realized that Zhang Xiaomei’s hand wasn’t pushing Wu Hai forwards, but rather….she was merely holding onto Wu Hai’s clothes, without making a move.
Her expressionless face revealed a trace of a painful struggle, which quickly disappeared and turned into a hideous and horrifying expression! In an instant, Wu Hai was already standing on top of the one-meter-high fence!
Qin Cheng didn’t know what happened between Zhang Xiaomei and Wu Hai, but something told him that it would be too late to ask him if he didn’t approach Wu Hai right this instant! After Qin Cheng took two big steps forward without looking at Zhang Xiaomei, who stood beside him with her eyes sticking out, he grabbed Wu Hai’s legs and tried to pull him down. He wanted to save Wu Hai while Zhang Xiaomei didn’t seem to react. However, no matter how hard Qin Cheng tried, Wu Hai, who was still standing on top of the fence, didn’t move a single muscle!
At the same time, pale white hands rested on Qin Cheng’s shoulders. The chilly cold coming from them reached his bones and blood through his clothes, piercing his heart….
The cold hands turned the already trembling body of Qin Cheng a little bit to the side, allowing him to see with full clarity the face of the ghost in front of him.
Zhang Xiaomei’s eyes were almost detached from their sockets as if they had been forcibly squeezed out after a great impact, looking bloodshot. Zhang Xiaomei’s entire head was almost broken, deflated in half, while the red blood and white bones coming out of her head made Qin Cheng feel sick, feeling the faint need to vomit.
ā€œYou….men….are….all….the same….ā€ The broken jaw twisted strangely as she spoke, making her voice sound hoarse. Her bloodied lips pulled up in a stiff smile. ā€œHehe….die….hehehe I’ll rip your….throat….ā€
As she finished speaking, the touch of the cold fingers on his neck began to make him tremble uncontrollably, however, Qin Cheng wasn’t able to avoid her touch, not even by walking back a step!
ā€˜ Someone help! Anyone save me! I don’t want to die this young! ’
In a panicked state, Qin Cheng suddenly thought of the jade pendant he had picked up that night, the one that might have saved his life….
Struggling, Qin Cheng tried his best to spit out a few words from his mouth: ā€œWu… Hai… heā€¦ā€
These words caused the grumbling ghost in front of him to subconsciously look in Wu Hai’s direction, resulting in the tight grip on Qin Cheng to immediately relax for a brief moment. This was enough for Qin Cheng to free himself from her restraints, and pull out the jade pendant from the pocket of his coat, holding it in his hand in a tight grip.
Knowing that she was played by the man in front of her, the ghost quickly turned her head, but she also seemed to be thinking over something and then giggled twice: ā€œDie, I’ll let you die!!!! You, all of you….can….die….with….with him….ā€ Her stiff fingers pointed towards the fence. ā€œFrom there….hehehehe.ā€ After saying that, she raised her hands with the intention to pull Qin Cheng over, but when she touched Qin Cheng this time, something seemed to snap her away.
ā€œAaahhh———————————————!ā€ The miserable scream was accompanied by a dark green flame that slowly ignited around her body.
Qin Cheng, who was now saved, was sitting on the ground completely paralyzed as he watched the grumbling ghost in front of him burn in an instant….
ā€˜ This, this….what was….? ’
ā€œHoly shit!ā€
When he heard the curse coming from his left, Qin Cheng slowly stood up. At some point, Wu Hai had jumped off the fence and seemed to have regained consciousness. However, he kept his head down, frowning tightly, not knowing what to think for a long, long time. Qin Cheng didn’t say anything until he heard someone shouting from the bottom of the building, he sighed and said in a soft voice: ā€œLet’s get down first….ā€
Zhang Jun, who had been waiting downstairs this whole time, thought about calling the police or calling someone else for help, but in the end, he chose to listen to Qin Cheng and wait for them downstairs. He wasn’t able to see the woman Qin Cheng was talking about, but he was able to sense that something wasn’t right. Later, and since he has good eyesight, he was able to watch Wu Hai ā€˜float’ to the top of the fence….
When he saw the two men, who came out of the building one after the other, Zhang Jun’s face looked extremely ugly. After staring at the silent Wu Hai for a bit, Zhang Jun frowned and said: ā€œWe’d better hurry up and leave this place.ā€
Qin Cheng, after nodding his head feeling extremely tired, asked: ā€œWhat time is it?ā€
ā€œIt’s almost 2 am.ā€
ā€œThen we should….ā€ Qin Cheng paused what he was about to say, and while he thought about it, he was stunned. Even if he didn’t use his brain, he realized that he had gained the ability to see ā€˜ghosts’, things others cannot see. Right now, he didn’t want to go back to the dormitory, because he lived alone. Who knows what he’ll see again, or what uninvited disasters he’ll meet head-on….Qin Cheng glanced at Zhang Jun and Wu Hai’s expressions, guessing that they were thinking the same thing as him….
Only after thinking about it did Qin Cheng say: ā€œWhy don’t we find a busy night market stall to eat some food, you must know….that I haven’t eaten much these days.ā€
Wu Hai, who hadn’t spoken for a long time, looked at Qin Cheng with complicated eyes and said: ā€œYes….ā€
ā€œWell, don’t tell me. I really don’t want to go back alone right now.ā€ After that, Zhang Jun laughed bitterly. ā€œIf you tell me to go to sleep….I’m afraid I won’t be able to get up again.ā€
…
In Beijing, a young nurse making night rounds suddenly screamed when she saw how a critically ill patient looked at the moment: ā€œAahh!——————Dr. Yang! Dr. Yang!!!ā€
…
Ninghua Village was as quiet and peaceful as ever, however, in less than a quarter of an hour, the crows of the entire mountain flew out in the middle of the night. The old people who had lived in Ninghua Village for decades and were unwilling to move away were suddenly awakened by the low and miserable cries of the crows: ā€œWe’ll leave this mountain, this event is ominous….for a huge disaster!ā€
Somewhere in the mountain, there was a noise, however, no one was there to hear it. Even if someone was there, they wouldn’t be able to hear it either. A man’s pair of peach blossom eyes <sup>3</sup> narrowed shallowly, as if he was smiling.

<ol><b>갔</b> <b>qƬ</b> ; Qi is a common concept in Chinese philosophy, Taoism, and Chinese medicine. Thinkers in the Spring and Autumn [770-476 BC] and the Warring States [475-221 BC] periods of Chinese history abstracted the concept of Qi as the basic element of everything in Heaven and Earth, with gas-like flow characteristics. The life energy or power that humans and all living things possess, as well as everything in the universe, is the result of the operation and changes of Qi. According to Chinese medicine, Qi is the first line of protection for the human body, gathering in the body to protect the internal organs, and flowing to the surface to prevent external evil from invading and causing disease.
