Dreaming for 10,000 years

Chapter 272 Not Saved
When he suddenly heard a voice coming from the dark tomb, Lao Zhou felt his hair stand on end, as if a chill was running from the soles of his feet to the top of his head.

His heartbeat suddenly accelerated, and the beam of the flashlight trembled in the darkness, reflecting his pale face.

He shouted in panic, "Who!" The sound echoed in the empty tomb, sounding particularly harsh.

Xiao Zhou was also startled and his body involuntarily leaned towards Lao Zhou, holding Lao Zhou's arm tightly, as if this could give him a little more sense of security.

"My young daddy!" the voice responded rudely, with a hint of impatience in its tone.

After hearing this voice, Lao Zhou felt relieved. He took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down.

Because his father is now in prison and has a stable job, he obviously won't appear here. The one who said this is obviously not an illusory ghost.

Ghosts will only take his life, not treat him as their "father".

"I wonder which fellow traveler it is!" Old Zhou calmed himself down and spoke.

After eliminating all impossibilities, there is only one possibility!
There are colleagues here!
"Dad, are there really people like us? Could it be that we have discovered their tourist attraction?" Xiao Zhou also reacted.

If there really was a "ghost", they wouldn't have said such obviously angry words to them. The tone of the voice just now was a bit irritable. To be honest, he also doubted that this was a tourist attraction.

Because he had been to a haunted house with his girlfriend before, and as soon as he opened the door, a coffin came out.

Could it be...

Old Zhou thought a lot. He saw from the dust, color and calcification of the jade that it was a genuine product from the Spring and Autumn Period, not a fake. So this place is not a tourist attraction, but... there are colleagues.

That's why he asked, who is my fellow traveler?

"Who are you in the same line of work with?" the voice asked. "What do you do?"

Lao Zhou blurted out: "Soil survey and detailed work."

"So it was the civil engineer dog!" the voice said, with a hint of nostalgia in its tone: "No wonder it was knocking and woke me up."

When Lao Zhou heard the voice say this, he knew it was not from the same industry.

Colleagues naturally understood the hidden meaning of his words.

This time I won’t have “cross-server chats” with others!

He also knew that the person who was speaking was a person, not some other messy thing. So Lao Zhou said, "I wonder which path your friend is on?"

The voice said with a helpless tone: "Hey! I am probably a traveler. I came to an unfamiliar place and just took a look around. I met a group of local bastards who beat me up and locked me up here. The locals are so rude!"

That voice was naturally Shi Fei's.

He was sealed here for an unknown period of time. He tried many methods but could not break the seal. Later he realized that the seal was very simple and could not be broken from the inside.

"Ah?" Old Zhou couldn't help but ask after hearing Shi Fei say this: "In today's society ruled by law, there are still places like this?"

"Rule of law? Society?" Shi Fei was suddenly confused by Lao Zhou.

No, the three realms have begun to talk about the rule of law? And society?
How much was he sealed?

"Dad!" Xiao Zhou whispered secretly, "Could he be a shady guy? Is he being robbed by a gangster?"

Old Zhou also nodded. Their family was considered to be making money in shady ways, but these were ways that had been run by generations, so they rarely encountered any cases of thieves robbing their fellow thieves.

Just like what that person said, he came to a strange place, was beaten by the locals and was locked up in this place. It's either a cult or smuggling!
As for what was smuggled? Isn't it written in the Criminal Law? "Hey...my friend! We are all law-abiding people, we don't get involved in white flour!" Lao Zhou said righteously.

Although the father and son robbed tombs, they did not touch things that could harm people.

"..." Shi Fei was a little confused when he heard that Lao Zhou had wrong ideas.

How did the three realms become like this?

Could it be that I have entered another dream?
Shi Fei had many doubts in his mind, but he did not ask. He just followed what Lao Zhou said and said, "I won't touch that stuff either. I will never tolerate gambling and drugs!"

Lao Zhou said a few words, looked around, and finally confirmed that the sound was from the coffin. He couldn't help but say, "How could my friend be locked in a coffin? Are you okay?"

In some remote places, people are put into coffins and suffocated to death, which is very cruel. The person in the coffin is so full of life, it must be because there is a vent in the coffin.

This may be just for imprisonment, not for suffocation. Of course, it is also possible that the person in the coffin is to endure endless pain and die of loneliness and starvation.

"How should I know! I was beaten dizzy!" Shi Fei said helplessly.

He also didn't expect that the power formed by the five magic weapons actually took the form of a coffin. Anyway, when he looked from inside, he saw five-colored light forming a ribbon that trapped him tightly.

"Dad, tell me, is there a possibility?" Xiao Zhou looked at the coffin that made the sound, and felt a bold possibility emerging from the bottom of his heart.

He continued, "An old monster is imprisoned inside. It was buried in this mausoleum with these eight coffins countless years ago."

"..." Old Zhou glanced at his son and said, "Have you read too many novels? There are no monsters here. If there is an old monster in here, I will eat this coffin board!"

"You are suspicious of everything. How can a thousand-year-old ghost know that gambling and drugs are incompatible? You are stupid!" Old Zhou taught his son, with a bit of helplessness and amusement in his tone: "You should stop reading those weird tomb-robbing novels. They are all made up."

Xiao Zhou thought about it and felt that it made some sense.

If there really are thousand-year-old ghosts, they would all want to eat human flesh and blood and live forever. How could they be incompatible with gambling and drugs?

"Let's open the other coffins and don't worry about this!" Old Zhou said to his son.

"Dad, why don't we save him?" Xiao Zhou said.

Lao Zhou said: "How can we save them! Have you forgotten what we do?"

Yes, they are tomb robbers, not kind-hearted people who save lives.

"Then what should we do with him?" Xiao Zhou said, pointing at the coffin.

"Let's just leave him here!" Old Zhou said coldly, "It's a blessing for most people to be buried in such a large tomb!"

Xiao Zhou nodded. What they did was indeed shameful.

What if after rescuing the person, that person wants to harm them? You can't have the intention to harm others, but you must be on guard against others!
That person was not killed by them, so what does it have to do with them?

So the father and son went to open other coffins.

They spoke in very low voices, so Shi Fei couldn't hear them through the seal. He said, "Are you still there? Why aren't you talking?"

The father and son said nothing, turning a deaf ear to Shi Fei's words, and just lowered their heads to open the coffin.
