Traveling Through the Grave Robbers' Chronicles: Starting from Meeting You

"Mr. Wu Xie, your delivery."

"OK, thanks."

Wu Xie took the express and subconsciously looked at the delivery note. The sender's name immediately made his eyes widen and he stayed there for a long time without moving.

"What's wrong with you? You look like you saw a ghost?"

Wu Sansheng noticed his strangeness and asked in confusion.

"The express delivery my brother sent me..."

"What? Brother? You are still in contact with him? You are so mean! You never told me before!"

Wu Xie didn't want to pay attention to him. Right now, his mind and eyes were filled with the express box in his hand, which contained something unknown.

Strange? Why would the guy send me a package? Didn’t he enter the bronze door with Han Yan? Did they come back?

This shouldn’t be the case. I went to their house a few days ago and there was no one at home.

Wu Xie looked at the date on the courier slip in confusion, which showed that the package was sent out four days ago!

Four days ago? Did Brother and Hanyan really come out? What did they send me? A valuable artifact?

Wu Xie thought of the box of antiques that Fatty got from Zhang Hanyan, and he immediately couldn't wait to open the package.

The moment the package was completely opened, two black, old-fashioned videotapes came into his sight.

Videotape? Why did they send me a videotape? Could it be a video of the monster behind the bronze door, meant to scare me?

"What did he send you? A videotape?"

Wu Sansheng stretched his neck to look at what Wu Xie was holding, and became curious about the contents of the videotape.

After all, in his opinion, it was impossible to ask someone like Zhang Qiling to send a courier to someone.

The sudden appearance of the videotape interrupted Wu Sanxing's narration. Wu Xie took the videotape in his hand and watched it over and over again, but in the end he couldn't make any sense of it.

He thought about it and decided that he could watch the videotape slowly, but there would not be many opportunities for his uncle to tell the truth. He must take this opportunity to get more information out of his mouth!

"Okay, Uncle San, we'll watch the video later. You can continue from where you left off."

Wu Sansheng was stunned. He didn't expect that he still remembered this matter. He thought he could just get away with it.

Wu Xie's attitude of not getting to the bottom of things made him sigh helplessly and could only continue talking.

"Well, there's actually nothing much to say. Later, Qiu Dekao found Jie Lianhuan to cooperate with him and asked him to sneak into the Xisha archaeological team and help him take pictures of the body in the coffin from the underwater tomb.

The night Xie Lianhuan went into the water, I followed him and went to the Xisha Underwater Tomb together..."

Wu Sanxing's narration was very long, and Wu Xie only extracted one most important piece of information from it, which was that Jie Lianhuan died in the underwater tomb in the Xisha Islands.

Moreover, Xie Lianhuan and Wu Sanxing look 70% similar...

"So, the ship that transported Xie Lianhuan's body disappeared on the sea? Xie Lianhuan just disappeared like that?"

Facing Wu Xie's questioning, Wu Sansheng just nodded silently. He pursed his lips tightly, his eyes kept looking out the window, and no one knew what he was thinking.

"So, this is the whole story of the Xisha archaeological incident? Uncle San, you are not lying to me again, are you?"

Wu Xie's questioning tone was too obvious. Wu Sanxing was so angry when he heard it that he pulled out the pillow from behind and threw it at him.

"You little brat, I don't want to say it but you force me to say it, and you don't believe me when I tell you! Have you been in a bad mood recently and you want to be punished?"

Wu Xie slightly turned sideways and easily avoided Wu Sanxing's attack. Seeing that he was really angry, he had to beg for mercy quickly.

"Okay, Uncle San, that's all I said. Why are you so excited? Pan Zi brought the VCR over. Shall we watch the tape?"

Wu Sansheng rolled his eyes at him in annoyance and didn't want to pay any attention to him. However, he also wanted to know what was on those two videotapes.

"Alright! What the hell are you doing with your big teeth baring? Hurry up and let it go!"

"Okay!"

Wu Xie deftly put one of the videotapes into the VCR. After the VCR started running, the picture slowly appeared on the TV.

An old-style room appears in the black and white picture. Under the window of the room, there is an old-style desk with a desk lamp, documents, a telephone, etc. on it.

The picture has been still and there has been no change.

Wu Sansheng became impatient and picked up the remote control and pressed the fast-forward button. When the video fast-forwarded to about twenty minutes, a black figure appeared on the screen.

"Uncle San! Stop! It's over, it's over!"

Wu Xie watched the figure flash by on the screen and shouted anxiously.

"I know, I know! What are you yelling about, you little brat? You're almost giving me a heart attack!"

Under Wu Xie's resentful gaze, Wu Sansheng turned the screen back to the part before the figure appeared. The uncle and nephew were staring at the TV intently, without blinking, for fear of missing anything important.

The picture shows a woman with a ponytail. She looks quite young and well-behaved, with big, watery eyes and two long braids draped over her chest.

"It's her! It's Huo Ling! It's really Huo Ling!"

In the video, Huo Ling is sitting in front of the camera, untying her braided pigtails and combing her hair non-stop. In the following scenes, until the videotape is finished, Huo Ling is still combing her hair.

"She...she hasn't aged at all?"

Wu Sansheng stared at the last frame in horror, his face turned pale with fear and his lips trembled a little.

Wu Xie had never seen Wu Sanxing so frightened before, and he couldn't help but start to feel a strong curiosity about Huo Ling whom he mentioned.

"No, Uncle San, was Huo Ling also a member of the Xisha archaeological team? Why do you say she hasn't aged?"

Wu Sanxing calmed down his agitated emotions and shook his head, "I can be sure that she is Huo Ling. As for why she hasn't aged, I don't know either.

The Xisha archaeological team disappeared collectively that year. I once looked for them, but no matter how I inquired, I found nothing. "

The tape in the VCR had stopped playing a long time ago. Wu Xie took out the tape and replaced it with another one that he had not watched yet.

What surprised them was that the image on the other videotape was full of flashing snow and there was no useful image at all.

After Wu Xie and Wu Sanxing confirmed again and again that there was nothing on the second videotape, they had to turn off the VCR that was still running.

"Uncle San, I'll take these two videotapes back and check where they were sent from. You stay in the hospital and don't run away again!"

After Wu Xie finished speaking, he put the videotape into the courier box and stood up to go out.
