NCCnovel Chapter 604 Beware of the Ghosts Around You
Chapter 604 Beware of the Ghosts Around You
Humans prayed to the Supreme God for light, but ghosts and spirits blasphemed it. When the candle goes out, beware of the ghosts around you.
At first glance, these are two completely nonsensical sentences.
Moreover, the previous sentence was said in a very mysterious and cryptic way!
But the most important thing is the following sentence: When the candle goes out, beware of the ghosts around you.
Does the candlelight refer to the candlelight in the tomb?
Think of this.
The members of the archaeological team all looked up at the candlestick hanging in the center of the top of the tomb chamber.
But they couldn't quite understand the second half of the sentence!
Beware of ghosts around you?
Xie Wenjing couldn't help but take a half step back and said, "What...what does this mean? Is there a ghost in this tomb?"
Hawkeye, however, said nonchalantly, "How many imperial tombs have we robbed with Brother Qin An? If there were ghosts, we would have died a thousand times over! This is probably just another trick by that bastard Chi You."
Hear this.
The rest of the archaeological team nodded in agreement.
Like the eternal lamps in the passageway! At first, they thought the candles had been burning for over 5000 years! But in the end, it turned out to be just a trick by the tomb owner to deceive people.
"Let's hurry up and find a way out of this tomb! Even though there aren't really ghosts... I still feel a little creeped out!" Xie Wenjing repeated her desire to leave the tomb.
The rest of the archaeological team had the same goosebumps!
Just as they dispersed to the walls around the tomb chamber in preparation for searching for the mechanism, the military flashlights overhead suddenly began to flicker.
If only one military flashlight was blinking, it could be explained as it being out of power or malfunctioning, but all the military flashlights above everyone's heads were blinking.
That's a bit strange!
"The magnetic field in this tomb chamber is starting to feel off..."
Before Qin An could finish speaking, all the military flashlights above everyone's heads went out simultaneously.
In the blink of an eye, only the candlelight above their heads was still shining!
However, the dim light was quite uncomfortable to look at... and no light could penetrate into any corner of the tomb, so the archaeological team chose to stay away from those corners and gather under the candlelight.
"That shouldn't be the case... These military flashlights are equipped with special batteries! They can keep shining for five days and five nights without any problem, not to mention that we keep them off at night."
Gu Yang removed the military flashlight from Eagle Eye's head and examined it closely.
"Captain Gu... If you ask me, you shouldn't bother with this anymore. All the military flashlights above everyone's heads have gone out, which can only mean that everyone has encountered a paranormal event. Otherwise, it wouldn't be this strange."
Hawkeye just said it casually.
But the rest of the archaeological team became even more frightened upon hearing this... If only they hadn't seen the two lines of text on the mural before!
But I've seen it now.
The seed of "there is a ghost in this tomb" was planted in my heart.
at this time.
The ever-burning lamps in the passageway and the candles above the heads of the archaeological team all went out! In the pitch-black tomb, only the live-streaming phone in Jiang Liuli's hand was still emitting a faint light.
"boom--"
The sound of the candle going out was extremely loud!
After a while.
Suddenly, a series of hurried footsteps sounded behind them!
"Da da da da da-"
"Who? Who's running behind us?"
Shao Wei turned around to look back while squeezing closer to Qin An.
For a while.
The wind howls and cranes cry!
Not just Shao Wei, almost everyone was crowding around Qin An. Jiang Liuli quickly swiped her live-streaming phone to turn on the flashlight.
But she had just turned on the flashlight function on her phone.
The candles overhead and the ever-burning lamps in the passageway were lit again!
"Crackling——"
Flames were lit, and the dim yellow light once again filled the tomb chamber.
Qin An frowned and said, "Who was running around in the tomb just now? Everyone, check if anyone around you is missing or injured."
Hear this.
Everyone in the archaeological team looked at each other.
It was only then that they realized... Zhang Yunfeng was gone!
Shao Wei's face was deathly pale.
He cursed himself for not pulling Zhang Yunfeng along when he ran to Qin An's side. "Old Zhang! Old Zhang! Come out already! Don't scare us! If you really need to pee outside the tunnel, you should at least tell us beforehand!"
Shao Wei looked towards the tomb entrance and shouted.
But before Zhang Yunfeng could reply from ahead!
The candles above the heads of the archaeological team members went out again.
"boom--"
The candle suddenly went out, leaving only a wisp of white smoke rising.
The archaeological team was startled!
"Ahhh-"
Xie Wenjing and Wang Yanyan screamed in unison, which Qin An could hardly bear. Gu Yang and Eagle Eye stood on the outermost edge of the group with assault rifles, while Hu Jizhou also chose to open his Vajra Umbrella to shield himself, leaning against the rest of the archaeological team.
"Calm down, everyone! Let me get the knife!"
Qin An wanted to draw his Black Gold Ancient Sword to summon the Undying Cold Flame to illuminate the tomb chamber, but Shao Wei and Xie Wenjing squeezed tightly on either side of him, and each of them grabbed one of Qin An's hands.
What do you two need a few for?
Qin An was just about to exert his strength.
But then a series of hurried footsteps sounded again!
Moreover, there seemed to be sobbing sounds mixed in with the footsteps?
in the dark.
Qin An listened carefully and determined that the footsteps and sobbing were coming from the northwest. Just as he was about to jump out of the crowd to chase after them...
"boom--"
The candles overhead and the eternal lamps in the passageway ignited once more! The flames crackled and popped, casting a dim, yellowish light into the tomb chamber once more.
Shao Wei practically curled up in Qin An's arms.
After sensing a glimmer of light.
He shakily crawled out of Qin An's arms, asking, "Who's missing this time?"
Qin An felt inexplicably angry when he saw the quail-like expression on his face! If this guy hadn't been holding him back, he would have jumped out to check on things long ago. He was stuck in the middle of the crowd and couldn't do anything.
"Captain Gu... Captain Gu Yang has disappeared!"
Hawkeye was the first to notice that the people around him had disappeared.
this time.
The archaeological team members became even more terrified. Even a battle-hardened special forces soldier like Gu Yang could disappear so easily? The thing that captured him and Zhang Yunfeng must really be a ghost!
"Don't panic! There are no ghosts in this world. Try to stay away from me. If you get captured, remember to make a sound so I can come to your rescue immediately." Qin An coldly shook off Shao Wei and Xie Wenjing's hands.
Beware of ghosts around you when the candle goes out.
Could it be that there really is a ghost in this tomb?
Even Qin An began to doubt his own materialism. What kind of thing could silently take Zhang Yunfeng and Gu Yang away?
Just as he was racking his brains.
The candles overhead went out once again!
"boom--"
