******************************
At around one o'clock in the middle of the night, normal people were all asleep. Although the street lights were lit, there was no one on the street.
Outside a very luxurious villa in the suburbs of Beijing, a van was parked outside the villa. The car behind them lit up with red headlights.
Soon, a few figures got out of the car and opened the back door. From inside, they carried out a cuboid that was tightly wrapped in a black bag. It was about two meters long, wide, and nearly one meter high. The four of them stood at the four corners and carried the cuboid into the villa with great difficulty.
After the few of them sent the unknown rectangular object to the designated location, they came out of the villa and got into the car. Then, they were engulfed by the dark night.
From the outside, this villa did not look much different from ordinary villas. If there was anything, it could only be said to be bigger than ordinary villas. It was the size of two similar villas.
However, under this ordinary appearance, there was an underground secret room that was larger than the villa. The cuboid was sent to the secret chamber.
"Second, has the crystal coffin been sent over?”The one who spoke was Su Mubai. This was also the headquarters of Su Mubai and the other grave robbers. Not only were there goods that they had not sold in time, but there were also some very advanced instruments, including the instrument used to explore the tomb.
"We're here, we're here." Su Muhua came in from the outside, followed by a few people. In the middle was the crystal coffin, but it was covered with a layer of black bag.
"Quick, put it here." As he spoke, Su Mubai stepped aside and revealed a stone platform. The surroundings were filled with all kinds of commonly used tools and some that he could not name. For example, brushes, shovels, chisels, hammers, and other familiar tools. The others were all strange-looking things, but one could associate them with their usage just by looking at them.
After putting it down, Su Mubai sent the people carrying the coffin out. He then called a few more people over and closed the door. He was extremely cautious throughout the entire process.
"Xiao Bai, what is this thing that you care so much about? I've never seen you so careful before. Even the Pharaoh's scepter wasn't this careful.”An old man who was pale but full of energy removed his glasses from the bridge of his nose and looked at Su Mubai with a scrutinizing gaze.
"Aiya, Uncle Liu, have you forgotten? Do you still remember the hanging coffin I told you about before?”This old man was called Liu Xin and was his foster father's sworn brother. Su Mu Bai did not mind Uncle Liu's sarcasm as he knew his uncle's temper.
" You mean…" Uncle Liu's cynical expression disappeared. He looked at the black coffin excitedly as if he had understood everything."Could it be this?"
"Yes, this is it." As he spoke, he unzipped the bag, revealing the crystal coffin that was as clear as glass and the 'corpse' that was still sleeping soundly inside.
When he saw what was inside, Uncle Liu pushed Su Mubai away. He leaned on the crystal coffin and looked it up and down. He seemed to have seen something and started to scream.
Su Mubai did not get angry because of Uncle Liu's sudden change, because he knew Uncle Liu's temper very well. Although he had never done such an impulsive thing before, since he did it, he must have his reasons.
"Heavens, this, could this be a talisman?”Uncle Liu leaned on the crystal coffin and held his glasses. He kept looking at the dense golden symbols on it, and his expression became more and more solemn.
"Uncle Liu, you must be joking. I'm sure it's a talisman. We're not unfamiliar with talismans in this line of work.”Although Su Mubai said that, he was not confident after seeing Uncle Liu's appearance.
Although he was considered a veteran in this industry, there was still a big gap between him and Uncle Liu. Uncle Liu had dealt with talismans and corpses almost all his life, so he had naturally seen more things than him.
Moreover, in the current era, the knowledge, techniques, and taboos of tomb robbing that were passed down from the predecessors were gradually eliminated by the later generations. They believed that these things were feudal superstitions and were not worth believing at all. Therefore, it was not surprising that Su Mubai did not know about some things.
"This is the talisman, I can be sure of it.”Uncle Liu turned around and looked at Su Mubai. At this moment, Uncle Liu's eyes were filled with fear. When Su Mubai saw Uncle Liu like this, his heart instantly fell to the bottom.
"Then according to what you mean, the one inside might be…"
"It's not a possibility, but a certainty. The thing inside was a dumpling, and it was a very terrifying fellow. I've seen this kind of talisman in a tomb before. It was also that time that your foster father never returned. "However, I feel that these talismans are even more powerful. They are even of a much higher grade than the talismans from back then.”As Uncle Liu spoke, his eyes naturally revealed a look of grief. However, under this expression, there was also a layer of fear.
"Ah, you mean…I'll send it back now!”Su Mubai didn't doubt Uncle Liu's words at all. He had personally experienced the horror of the tomb back then. At that time, he was twenty years old and had followed his foster father to fight. However, he did not expect to meet the legendary zombie. It was also from that time that he believed in those things that were considered feudal.
When he first saw the crystal coffin, he thought that it was just some carvings. However, after hearing Uncle Liu's words, his heart grew colder and colder. He felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave, and he could not feel any warmth from his body.
At this moment, he regretted bringing this thing back. Wasn't this courting death?
"Sigh! It was too late to say anything now. Since this coffin was placed there, it naturally had its reasons. Moreover, the person who could cast such a powerful talisman must have extraordinary knowledge. The place that he chose must be different from other places. If you take him away, the original seal will be broken. Look, the color of these talismans has already begun to fade. If my guess is correct, he should be breaking the seal soon.”Uncle Liu looked nervous as if it was the end of the world."Quick, while it is still sealed, leave this place immediately and bring all your belongings. Go as far away as possible and never come back.”
"What about you? Aren't you leaving with us?”Su Mubai was also affected by the tense atmosphere, and he became nervous.
"Me? Hehe, I won't go with you guys. I'm old, and I don't know how many years I can live. After living here for a few years, it had developed feelings. Moreover, there was no one here. If it ran out, the world would be in chaos. Most importantly, I still have to report the situation here. If he did not control it, the end of the world would not be far away.”Uncle Liu said solemnly.
"Ka!"
However, at this moment, a soft sound rang out in the surroundings. Instantly, the room became silent, and everyone froze on the spot.
"Ka!"
It was another sound. This time, the sound was even more ear-piercing and made people's hearts tremble. Looking in the direction of the sound, two cracks appeared on the crystal coffin. These cracks were like sharp swords that stabbed deeply into their hearts. The aura of death enveloped everyone.
"Quick, leave this place." Uncle Liu reacted the fastest. Seeing that everyone was petrified, he quickly reminded them and used his hands and feet to chase them out as quickly as possible.
However, suddenly, cracking sounds rang out. In an instant, the crystal coffin was covered in cracks. Suddenly, a powerful force came out of the coffin.
"Bang!"
With a loud bang, the crystal coffin turned into specks of light and scattered. At the same time, the motionless corpse slowly floated up.
