Tomb raiders: You stole my little Qilin?

As Wu Wei walked through the long tomb passage and finally saw the light of day, tears welled up in his eyes.

"Ah, I'm alive!"

"This world has an abnormally high level of energy. Please adjust your mindset and continue collecting."

The electronic sound of 999 was still so bland, Wu Wei thought to himself:

You are heartless and cold-hearted.

"Yes, I'm being unreasonable." The moment after 999 finished catching up on the joke, the "ding" sound rang out again.

The system has automatically assigned a task to the host: collect abnormal energy once within thirty days!

"?" Wu said, referring to an elderly man looking at his phone on the subway.

Stop fooling around!

Several seconds passed, but 999 remained silent.

Wu Wei frantically shouted:

"No way, you really answered? 999, say something, say something!!"

『Small 9, 99, 9~』

999 played dead and remained silent.

When Wu Sansheng saw Wu Wei climb up, he was stunned and assumed that Wu Wei was frightened.

She covered his wound and pushed him into the car. "Let's get out of here first."

The car drove out of the forest, but 999 remained silent. Wu Wei, resigned, asked:

Does each grave count as one?

999 immediately revived and logged back in, saying, "Yes."

"You win!"

Wu Wei’s fierce shout was met with a “hehe” from 999’s electronic voice.

I knocked, and I got even angrier!

Inside the car, Wu Sansheng looked worriedly at the dazed Wu Wei and waved his hand in front of him.

"Small?"

Wu Wei snapped out of his daze, "Ah, Third Uncle."

"You were scared, weren't you?"

Wu Wei shook his head. "It's alright, Third Uncle. It's just my first time going into a tomb, I'm not used to it yet. I'll get used to it next time."

Wu Sansheng even showed pity when he looked at him.

Wu Wei was getting goosebumps from watching this. What on earth was he imagining?

The group drove to a small county town before sunset.

Wu Sansheng led everyone to stay at a guesthouse, gave Wu Wei a few instructions, and then took Pan Zi to find a doctor.

A penetrating wound from a cold weapon would have killed him instantly if he hadn't been wearing a bulletproof vest.

Wu Wei remained silent the entire way, but fortunately, the kung fu he displayed in the tomb impressed everyone, and none of the bodyguards treated him like an ordinary child.

After Wu Sansheng and Pan Zi left, several bodyguards brought food to Wu Wei, and the one in the lead even thoughtfully brought him a glass of milk.

Wu Wei thanked them politely and told the group, who had been working hard all day, to go and rest.

'99, start the lottery.'

999 put down the electronic milk and started working.

The sound of the roulette wheel spinning reached my ears, and a moment later—

"Ding! Reward successfully drawn."

The reward for this draw is—A Guide to Abnormal Energy!

This sounds useful. Wu Wei clicked to view.

Abnormal Energy Guide: When equipped, it will alert you to the presence of abnormal energy within 500 meters and indicate the direction if it is present within 100 meters.

Good stuff, Wu Wei immediately selected the equipment.

A faint light appeared around him, lingered for two seconds, and then quietly disappeared.

Wu Wei felt a moment of confusion followed by a sudden clarity in his head, as if a meridian had been opened.

"Little 9, your skill set is amazing!" Wu Wei couldn't help but exclaim.

999 picked up the electronic milk again and took an elegant sip.

After a quick wash, Wu Wei lay down on his bed at home, and the day's fatigue made him sleep very soundly.

After an unknown amount of time, Wu Wei began to feel a jolt.

He opened his eyes groggily and saw that he was being carried on the shoulders of a big man. There were four of them, and they were heading out of the county town.

Upon noticing that Wu Wei had woken up, Zhao Laosan said to Zhao Laoda:

"Big brother, the little brat is awake."

Old Zhao turned around: "Cover his mouth, don't let him make a sound, take him back to the village first."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Laosi took a piece of cloth out of his pocket, folded it into a ball, stuffed it into Wu Wei's mouth, and continued on his way.

Wu made a few muffled sounds, but the gauze was stuffed too tightly in his mouth, and his tongue couldn't come out.

"You little brat, if you move again I'll kill you!" Zhao Laosan said fiercely upon hearing the commotion.

Circumstances dictate actions, so Wu Wei calmed down and asked 999 what had happened.

"The host has been kidnapped..."

After 999's description, Wu Wei finally learned what had happened.

The four Zhao brothers were originally villagers from Zhao Village, near the county seat.

There is an old temple in Zhao Family Village. This year, a flood washed away a gap in it, which was accidentally discovered by the four brothers. After exploring, they found a tomb passage underneath.

At the end of the tomb passage was a large, patterned door that was very heavy and the group couldn't open it.

But the image above depicts a faceless man slashing a child's arm with a knife, causing blood to flow onto the altar.

And there really was a small altar next to the gate!

The four brothers were not exactly a kind family, and they wanted to turn their lives around by bringing burial goods with them.

After some discussion, they decided to try catching a child.

There were only so many people in the village, and they were afraid of being exposed, so they went to the county town to find the lone children.

Coincidentally, Wu Wei, a new face, caught their attention.

I sneaked into the guesthouse in the middle of the night and stole it from him.

'...' What bad luck.

Has my third uncle gone back yet?

999 checked and saw, "Just left the hospital, will be at the guesthouse in half an hour."

Wu Wei secretly calculated that Wu Sansheng would definitely go to his room first when he arrived at the guesthouse, and would find that he was missing immediately.

In that case, there's no need to rush to escape; we can just wait for Wu Sansheng and his men to find us.

Going down into the tomb with these people might just lead to encountering unusual energy and completing the mission.

A few distant barks echoed through the pitch-black night.

Having reached the village, the four Zhao brothers quickened their pace.

A constantly flashing blue ring appeared in front of Wu Wei.

It's a guide to abnormal forces!

Wu Wei was both excited and nervous. After all, his personality, shaped by a scientific society, made him somewhat timid about things like ghosts and monsters.

After walking for a few more minutes, the flashing blue ring turned into a white arrow, firmly pointing in the direction they were heading.

Reaching the side and back of the old temple, Zhao Lao Er lifted the wooden planks and straw that they had covered up last time, revealing the narrow entrance.

After Zhao Laosan went down, Wu Wei was also roughly thrown down, landing with a muffled groan.

Seeing that he had been behaving well along the way, Zhao Laoda took the rag out of his mouth.

He warned menacingly, "You little brat, if you dare to make a sound, I'll cut your tongue out."

Wu Wei nodded repeatedly with a look of fear on his face, pretending to be terrified.

Zhao Laosi also came down, holding a dagger in his hand, and dragged Wu Wei to the side of the altar.

"Brother, why are you wasting your breath talking to him? If he doesn't behave, just kill him."

Wu Wei's wrist was slashed open, and drops of blood dripped onto the altar.

Less than three seconds later, "Snap—"

A heavy thud echoed from the stone door, and it slowly opened a crack.

"So fast? It takes me ages to watch TV."

After a moment's thought, 999 said, "It must be because the host's Qilin blood is of high purity."

"It's already feeding it the best it can get." Wu Wei couldn't help but feel a little sorry for it.

The first time I bled after coming into this world was because of these "human traffickers".

Seeing the stone door open, Zhao Laosan snatched the dagger with a ruthless expression and was about to stab Wu Wei.

Wu Wei feigned fear on his face, but secretly exerted force in his legs.

If he hadn't wanted to get to this tomb, he would have run the nine-square path on the way.
