Who...... Who's staring at me?

A vague figure hovers in my mind, and the feeling of being watched lingers.

『……』

Don't look...... Don't look at me

I struggled desperately to open my eyes, but my body was as indifferent as if under a spell.

"Brother Ping...... Brother Ping......

The voice...... Who are you calling?

"Zhou Jinping, wake up"

"Hmm...... Ahem"

The discomfort in the trachea strongly stimulates the lungs and eventually breaks away the "curse" of the body. I jerked my eyes open and coughed uncontrollably.

"Brother Ping, are you okay?"

A miserable white face suddenly appeared in the field of vision, two white-eyed eyes stared straight at him, and the strong visual stimulation made my hair stand on end, and I reflexively slapped it with a backhand.

"Ouch" With a wail, the white face disappeared, and the light suddenly dimmed with the rolling of the flashlight, and at this time I finally saw clearly that in front of me was a black man with a gray face.

"Brother Ping is me......" The man covered his face and shouted aggrievedly.

I struggled to stand up, looking at the strange man in front of me, and my head couldn't turn for a moment.

"Are you ......?"

"Can't even recognize me? You won't be stupid by a stone, right...... I'm Zijian," the man looked a little anxious, and put his hands on my shoulders. "It's been almost five hours since we went down to this dungeon, and a few brothers have died in the trigger mechanism before, and this time there is a landslide, if even you have an accident...... What am I going to do then?"

Fragments of vague memories revealed bit by bit. Ah, I remembered......

That's right, I took a team of people to sneak down to this weird Western Regions tomb, I originally planned to make a lot of money, but I didn't expect to get lost like an evil spirit, all the electronic equipment failed, and a group of people were broken in an accident halfway, but now I was hit again...... The man in front of me is a member of the team, and he is also my little Yao Zijian.

I shook my dazed head, spat on the dusty spit, and stood up with Yao Zijian's support.

"It's okay, what are you doing with a flashlight shining on your face? I want to scare people to death...... What about the others? I looked up at the man next to me, only to find that he was hesitantly glancing behind him, and then stopped.

"Tsk, you're talking" The other party's mother-in-law and mother-in-law suddenly ignited the nameless fire in my chest. "Get out of the way" I rudely snatched the flashlight from Yao Zijian's hand, pushed him away and shone it behind him.

Looking at the tragic situation in front of me, my eyes widened and I couldn't help but gasp.

Eyes full of rubble, stumps all over the ground. Obviously, the previous men and horses have long since been wiped out.

"Brother Ping...... I'm afraid it's just the two of us left here. Yao Zijian's crying voice sounded again. Do you think we're going to be trapped here? I...... I'm so scared...... Woowoo woo ......"

The sound of a ghost crying echoed through the dim, small space, making me more and more irritable, and at the same time, the feeling of being watched abruptly rose from behind me again

I took a deep breath, picked up the flashlight and looked back, only to see the blue-gray slate reflecting a faint green light under the miserable white flashlight, and a little farther away it was pitch black, and there was no half of a figure.

"Cry, cry, cry, shut up" I was distraught, kicked away a piece of gravel as if venting, and yelled at the man in front of me out of control.

Yao Zijian shuddered for a moment, as if he was frightened, and immediately shut up.

Seeing such a big man like a wreck, the inexplicable restlessness in my heart began to churn more and more, and I wanted to go up and beat him.

It's not useful...... Since I was a child, I stared at Yao Zijian, who was crying and mourning, and at the same time muttering in my heart, a strange feeling suddenly sprung up.

Childhood......? Wait a minute, was my temper so grumpy before?

And just when I hesitated, Yao Zijian carefully observed my face, and opened his mouth again: "That...... What are we going to do now? ”

"What else can I do? Are you waiting to die here? I came back to my senses, gave him an angry look, picked up my flashlight and swept around.

The place behind it seems to be a road, and the road behind it has collapsed and is tightly blocked, while there seems to be a road in front of the road, but because of the lack of light, I don't know where it leads.

"Anyway, there is only one way, and we take one step at a time. You take this thing first" I threw the flashlight back to Yao Zijian, leaned over and picked up the backpack that had fallen on the ground earlier, which was the only equipment we had left at the moment.

"You open the way, my highness." I took a rough inventory of the items in my bag, took out a spare flashlight from it, and as soon as I turned on the flashlight, I suddenly found Yao Zijian standing in place, motionless.

"Let's go, what are you doing in a daze?" I pushed him impatiently, but I was stained with a cold sweat.

"Ping...... Brother Ping...... Former...... Front...... There seems to be a person ......" Yao Zijian's neck stiffened, and he stretched out his hand tremblingly, pointing to the front tremblingly.

"People?" I hurriedly followed his line of sight, and at a glance I saw a white shadow floating not far away, and disappeared at the end of the dark stone path in an instant.

"No...... It's gone," Yao Zijian was so frightened that his tone changed. "Mom, Brother Ping...... We're not going to run into ghosts, are we? ”

"Fuck you and shut up," I scolded, but in my heart was a spirit, and a thought, for no reason, but with great conviction, appeared in my mind.

Could it be ...... who has been secretly staring at me just now?

"Go up and have a look." I gritted my teeth, pulled out a pistol from my waist, and walked in the direction where the figure had disappeared.

Yao Zijian was a little hesitant, but he obviously didn't want to stay alone next to the pile of corpses, so he had to follow with courage.

The bluestone slabs under my feet emitted a strange fluorescence, and the walls on both sides were depicted with many small figures with teeth and claws, which seemed to be a row of murals describing some major events, but I didn't have the heart to look at it closely, for me now, my mind was full of just looking for the ghostly white shadow just now.

"Look here's a hole," Yao Zijian seemed to have found something, pointing to the corner of the wall in front of him and shouting loudly.

I hurriedly walked forward, and sure enough, I saw that the brick wall on the right side of the road in front of me seemed to have collapsed a small piece, revealing a stone cave half a meter wide and half a person high.

"It's ...... It looks like a burial chamber" I carefully looked into the cave for a moment, and was surprised to find that there was a dark rectangular object in the center of the cave, which looked like a coffin.

"Hahaha, it didn't take any effort to get here, and we finally found it" I suppressed the ecstasy in my heart, made a gesture to Yao Zijian, and took the lead into the cave.

As I expected, the altar, the frescoes, the sealed stones...... Although the space of the entire burial chamber is not huge, judging by the elaborate decoration inside and the number of funerary goods around, there is no doubt that it is the main burial chamber

"Brother Ping, look, something seems to be carved under this altar...... Not...... What the hell is this? Yao Zijian squatted in front of a stone slab, muttering constantly.

"This is the ancient Loulan text, hum, it seems that the rumors are really true, this tomb is probably one of the ruins of the ancient kingdom of Loulan that mysteriously disappeared in history, and the decoration and scale here far exceed the ordinary tombs, I am afraid that the people buried in this tomb are not ordinary people......" I raised my head and looked at the swarthy coffin on the top of the altar, and a mixture of greed and luck burned more and more in my chest.

"There must have been something better in the coffin...... Let's go, go up with me to open the coffin" I pulled up Yao Zijian, raised my feet and stepped on the stone steps of the altar, and at the same time, a sense of déjà vu came from behind again for no reason.

"Who? Come out," I jerked back and yelled at the empty burial chamber.

There was no one, still no one.

"Brother Ping, what's wrong with you?" Yao Zijian looked inexplicable.

"......" I silently looked behind the empty man, feeling a flustered panic for no apparent reason.

"It's okay, open the coffin, be careful." I suppressed the uneasiness in my heart and commanded.

Yao Zijian nodded, immediately took out a few miniature metal instruments that he had brought with him, carefully pasted them along the edge of the coffin board, and immediately retreated some distance after finishing and put on special masks.

"Three-two-one...... Explosion"

With a muffled sound, a thin circle of black mist suddenly rose near the coffin entrance, and under the precisely calculated thrust, the treated coffin lid slowly opened along the coffin opening, and at the same time, a thicker black mist rose from the coffin, enveloping the entire coffin.

Time passed bit by bit, I don't know how long it took, the black fog gradually dissipated, I think Yao Zijian made a look, the latter hesitated to take two steps forward, just glanced at the coffin, and immediately changed his face

"Plain and mediocre...... Pingo Riri ...... It's a living person inside" Yao Zijian panicked with fright, and this kind of nonsense is simply fantastical to me.

"How can there be a living person in a coffin that is thousands of years old? Are you crazy? I cursed, followed up and looked into the coffin, and my head suddenly exploded with a "buzz".

White and red fresh skin, high nose and deep facial features, delicate posture...... A lifelike exotic beauty lies quietly in a coffin as if she were asleep.

"How is that possible...... How is this possible" I ran forward and looked down at the woman in the coffin, and suddenly had the illusion of crossing over.

I saw that this woman was dressed in an unusually gorgeous dress, the robe embroidered with gold thread was covered with agate, and her long black and translucent hair was coiled with a crown made of pure gold, but the most surprising thing was the strange ruby jewelry she was wearing.

The blood-red gemstones are filled with dazzling multicolored light, as if by magic, and the delicate silver accessories are so beautiful that you can't take your eyes off them.

"This thing must be priceless" I couldn't help but be excited when I saw how special these gems were. "A ring, a bracelet, two earrings, a hairpin brooch...... There are also necklaces, seven pieces of jewelry, and seven gemstones...... We're going to send it now hahahaha."

"That's great, it's been rewarding to work so hard to get here...... You say yes, right? Yao Zijian also happily came up and stared at the gem.

I ignored it, and at this time I only had the seven blood-red gems in my eyes, and even ignored the strange corpse in the coffin.

Jewel...... My gems are all mine

The ghostly voice lingered in my mind, and I reached out my hand like a ghost, and just wanted to touch the beautiful blood-colored stone, a cold and childish voice suddenly sounded from behind me, pulling me back from the trance.

"Don't touch her"

I was startled, but it was too late, and the moment my fingers ran over the woman's skin, things changed abruptly.

The originally vivid woman from the Western Regions quickly withered as if she had been drained of water in an instant, and in just a few seconds, only a dry bone was left in the coffin.

I realized something, and immediately looked back at the source of the sound, only to see a handsome young man in white standing not far away, looking at me coldly.

With dark pupils, a white and delicate face, and a thin and upright figure, his eyes as calm as a lake revealed an air of maturity that did not match his age.

I looked at the strange boy in front of me, and a sense of familiarity surged in my heart, but I couldn't say where I had seen it.

"Who are you?" I pulled out my pistol and asked vigilantly.

The boy didn't speak, silently holding out his hand behind me, and it was only then that I suddenly realized that something cold and hard had landed on my shoulder.

I turned my head abruptly and met the face of a skeleton.

"Ahhh

"It's too late." The boy looked indifferently at me, who was speechless, and opened his mouth gently.

"She's alive."
