Five years ago, shortly after Team Three of the original special case entered Lop Nur, Ye Ying, who had rich archaeological experience, discovered the Sun Tomb based on astrology and geographical location.
After opening the coffin, their first glance fell on the stone ball. They guessed that the stone ball was very important to the tomb owner. Otherwise, why would he ignore so many things and only hold this stone ball in his hand?
At that time, this stone ball was taken out by a mystic police officer whose code name was Old Tie. It was still fine if it did not move. Before it could take a closer look, dark clouds appeared out of nowhere in the originally blue sky. It was impossible for this to happen in the desert, especially during that season. Old Tie was so frightened that he hurriedly threw the stone ball away and shouted,"It hurts."
Team Leader Chen felt that something was wrong. He quickly brought people to close the coffin. Only then did the dark clouds dissipate. It was as if nothing had happened.
Xiao Zhou, who had studied the culture of the Western Regions, told everyone that there were thirty-six countries in the ancient Western Regions, each with different customs and religious beliefs. If this stone orb had nothing to do with life, then it was most likely related to their beliefs. It should have a special meaning, or it should be a religious token.
Judging from the astronomical phenomenon when Old Tie picked up the stone ball, it could also be the guardian spirit of the tomb owner. It was something that carried a curse and could bring some punishment to those who disturbed the tomb owner's peace.
Team Leader Chen wasn't sure which explanation it was, but given the strange situation that was happening, it was better not to move the stone ball. Thus, the group of people made a record, buried the tomb again, and continued to move deeper into Lop Nur.
The strange phenomenon caused by the Sun Tomb was the first strange thing that Team Leader Chen and the others encountered when they entered Lop Nur five years ago. Therefore, he had a deep impression of it. Even after so long, he could still accurately find it. It was also from that moment that their communication devices suddenly lost their signal and could no longer contact the outside world.
After listening to Team Leader Chen's memories, I wanted to chop off my hand. I would rather believe in these mysterious things than treat them as jokes. Now that I've touched this stone ball, I'm really worried that something strange will happen.
I asked Yang Liu,"Little Sister Yang, quickly take a look. Is this stone ball dangerous?"”
Yang Liu said," Pfft, I'm not a witch. The premise of me being able to predict danger is that danger is imminent. This stone ball is indeed very dangerous. If you don't believe me, you can smash it on your head. I believe it will definitely kill you."”
Jokes aside, Yang Liu still told us honestly that this stone ball did not give her any bad feelings.
"That's good, that's good."
I was relieved, but I found it strange that since Team Leader Chen knew that this stone ball wasn't anything good, why did he open the coffin? I don't think he's doing this to remember his teammates who sacrificed themselves.
Team Leader Chen didn't say a word. He found a glove and an evidence bag on the back of a camel. Then, he put on gloves and took out the stone ball, putting it into a sealed bag.
We looked at all of this strangely. We wanted to ask, but we were afraid that Team Leader Chen would not tell us the reason. We could only follow him to close the coffin after he finished everything and let the tomb owner rest in peace.
I stood there and prayed in a low voice," This ancestor, we, the younger generation, have no intention of disturbing you. However, for the sake of the supreme interests of the people, we have no choice but to borrow your treasure. When the revolution succeeds in the future, we will definitely present you with a pearl that is even more beautiful than this."
Yang Liu found it funny and asked," Damn Rat, where did you learn all this? Can you not be so funny?"”
Mosquito interjected,"It's probably Liu Banxian from their village again."”
I said,"Yes, it's Liu Banxian. What's wrong?”Then, he said to Yang Liu,"This is called respect, understand?" Shouldn't he at least give them a heads up before taking their things?”
Yang Liu said," Bah, so it's a dance for the great gods. Shouldn't you be saying and dancing again? You even said that you'd offer something better. Let's see what you're going to offer."”
I said,"What singing and dancing? That's to invite a god, but I'm different. I'll just give him a glass orb when the time comes. You have to know that in their era, glass orbs were simply a miracle.”
Yang Liu and Mosquito shook their heads at the same time, not even looking at me. Team Leader Chen still didn't say a word. He put the stone ball away and placed it on the back of a camel before walking in front.
The sun soon disappeared into the horizon. The heat receded, and a cool breeze blew in. Team Leader Chen saw that the moon was still giving us face tonight, so he told us to rest for a while and then take advantage of the cool night to move forward.
My legs were already so soft that they didn't feel like my own. I was completely relying on my consciousness to move forward. It seemed that the first four years had been too peaceful and lacked exercise. He could not accept such an amount of exercise all of a sudden.
Other than Team Leader Chen, Mosquito and Yang Liu were also similar to me. Especially Yang Liu. She was so arrogant before, but now I could see a lot of worry behind her sweat. I thought she really didn't know how to be tired, but it turned out that she just didn't show it like me.
I sat on the ground and took off my shoes to rub my feet. Only then did I realize that my socks had long been soaked in sweat. I simply took them off and twisted them.
"Where did this fermented bean curd smell come from?" Yang Liu looked left and right. After seeing my actions clearly, she almost vomited."Damn rat, can you not be so disgusting?”
"Disgusting? Don't you think so?"
I picked up the socks and sniffed them. Yang Liu turned around and covered her mouth."Damn rat, you…"
I really wanted to throw the socks at her, but I was afraid that I would joke too much. I slowly put them on and got up to walk towards a sand dune in front of me.
"Where are you going?" Yang Liu asked from behind. Don't wander around."
"What?" I asked as I walked. Do you want me to livestream in front of you?”
"Bah, get lost."
I stood at the back of the sand dune. I wasn't even halfway there when I saw a large lump of something moving along the sand surface in front of me under the moonlight. The wind was not strong, so it was impossible for it to blow up sand. Moreover, even if it was blown by the wind, it was impossible for it to only blow up a ball of sand.
I wanted to go up and investigate, but I thought of the issue of " organizational discipline " and had to report it quickly. I couldn't care less about the remaining " dirty water ". I turned around and took a few steps to the top of the sand dune. I waved at Team Leader Chen and the others while drawing my gun to keep an eye on that thing.
Yang Liu was the first to run up. When I saw that the reinforcements had arrived, I raised my gun and shouted,"Comrades, charge!" Unexpectedly, Yang Liu cried out,"Mom!" and turned around to run. I was left in a daze on the spot. It took me a while to react and follow her awkwardly.
Yang Liu ran to Team Leader Chen and shouted,"Team Leader Chen, sand. It's sand running on the ground.”
