“Then what was Qin Shi Huang sending out 99 pairs of young boys and girls for?”

“Naturally, it was to protect this place, to tell those who attempt to excavate the imperial tomb not to do so,” Old Qin replied.

“So, you are a descendant of one of those 99 pairs of young boys and girls? And you have been passing down the secrets of the imperial tomb, guarding the safety of this place?” Dongfang Chen asked.

“That’s right!” Old Qin nodded.

“Old Qin, you’re going a bit too far!” Dongfang Chen pretended to complain.

“How am I going too far?” Old Qin asked, puzzled.

“Please make your stories a little more logically sound next time. Honestly, your story is only good enough to fool elementary school students. Even a middle school student wouldn’t believe it,” Dongfang Chen replied.

“Why?” Old Qin was very surprised.

“It’s very simple. The Qin Emperor's tomb is unknown to us, not a public secret. The setting of your story itself is problematic. Since it’s so dangerous down there, you could just tell others directly, why be so secretive? Don’t you know that the more you conceal, the more it arouses people’s curiosity?” Dongfang Chen explained.

“Commander, scanning complete,” Xiao Lin reported.

“Transmit the images to the Digital Eye!” Dongfang Chen said excitedly.

The message was sent through the Digital Eye, so Old Qin didn’t hear Dongfang Chen’s words.

“What’s wrong?” Seeing Dongfang Chen’s excited expression, Old Qin suddenly had a feeling that something bad was about to happen.

“Oh, nothing, Old Qin, please continue,” Dongfang Chen said dismissively.

“I’m finished!” Old Qin was baffled.

“Uh… Old Qin, this story is too rudimentary, you should make up another one… oh, no, I mean your reason is too false, I still need to investigate it myself,” Dongfang Chen said.

He wanted to give Old Qin something else to do.

Once he finished making up another reason, he would basically have a grasp of the situation in the underground palace.

“Hmph, you brat, you’re not deliberately stalling for time here, are you?” Old Qin finally realized what was happening.

“Of course not, Old Qin. I wouldn’t dare if you didn’t speak!” Dongfang Chen replied perfunctorily.

At this time, his whole mind was on the three-dimensional projection in front of him.

From the synthesized projection, it could be seen that the structure of the Qin Emperor's tomb was a standard inverted pyramid.

Most of the upper area was passageways, generally extending downwards in a spiral shape. Between the passageways were individual burial chambers.

Dongfang Chen didn’t care about the miscellaneous burial goods in the upper chambers. What he cared about most was the underground palace at the very bottom.

“Hmm?”

Just as the angle switched to the entrance of the lowest underground palace, a line of words appeared before his eyes.

These words were in standard Small Seal Script, and the shape of the characters was already very similar to modern characters, so he knew what was written on them at a glance.

It was exactly the six words Old Qin had mentioned: “Those who enter the imperial tomb without permission shall die.”

Seeing these words, Dongfang Chen’s heart skipped a beat.

Old Qin’s story might be false, but it was impossible that he just happened to guess these words correctly.

He recalled it.

Old Qin told him that at the beginning of the excavation, a stone tablet was found in the terracotta army pit, with these words written on it. But later, the stone tablet disappeared.

Dongfang Chen originally thought that this intimidating statement was just something Old Qin had made up and didn’t take it to heart at all.

But now it seemed that the stone tablet was fake, but the content was real.

This was very strange.

Dongfang Chen switched the view to the upper level. Although the burial chambers had been collapsed and the items were placed in a very messy way, there were still many rare treasures. This meant that no one had ever entered here.

That also meant that Old Qin’s claim that this place had been looted by invaders was false, and the archaeological experts’ rescue excavation here was also false.

That also meant that no one should have ever seen these six words.

Then how did Old Qin know?

While he was wondering, Old Qin had become anxious.

“You don’t dare? What don’t you dare? Get out of the way, let me through!”

“Hey, hey, hey, Old Qin, don’t be anxious! Don’t get upset!” Dongfang Chen was pulled aside, and Old Qin opened the door and walked out.

Dongfang Chen was helpless and quickly sent instructions to turn off all the screens in the warship.

At the same time, he sent instructions to all the team members, telling them to say that they didn’t see anything.

When Old Qin rushed to the hall, all the team members were standing there dumbfounded, looking confused.

“It’s bad!” Dongfang Chen, who was running behind, remembered that the soldiers Old Qin had brought were also in the hall.

They had also seen the images of the underground palace.

“Old Qin, your health is really good, I can’t even keep up with you when you walk!” Dongfang Chen said awkwardly, trying to lighten the mood.

“What’s going on? Why are all these screens off?” Old Qin pointed to the screens around the hall and questioned.

“Ah? These were originally turned off! You don’t believe me, ask them,” Dongfang Chen said stubbornly, forcing himself to be calm.

Old Qin looked at the special forces members.

“Uh… yes, yes, yes, they were off,” the special forces members said awkwardly.
