Everyone understood after hearing this explanation, and it was indeed malicious intent. These bastards were coveting the products of Great Xia and historical relics. They deserved no sympathy for this.
Their gazes towards La'er grew increasingly impatient.
Inside the livestream.
"Listen up, everyone. This is your professor's problem, and this is the consequence of their malicious intent. Don't drag everything onto Great Xia. Do you hear me?"
"Are you going to have the final say just because you say so? Who are you, Great Xia? You failed to save the professor, so no explanation of yours is useful."
"That's right, Great Xia, you can't escape these matters."
"You guys are truly stubborn and ignorant, like dog heads, making excuses for your own mistakes."
"This is Great Xia's territory, and we say what goes. Don't babble. If you keep babbling, I'll successfully kill the last person from your Eagle Country, believe it or not?"
...
Inside the tomb.
Zhou Lin's gaze swept over the tomb chamber, which he could see through at a glance.
Then, as if thinking of something, he said,
"Guess what? That human skin we saw earlier, what part of the body do you think it was from? And where is the rest of the skin?"
Zhou Lin's words sent shivers down the spines of the mercenaries and students, who dared not think about the topic, fearing it might be too gruesome.
"You'd better not say it. I'm really worried that in the next moment, we'll see a skinless corpse before our eyes?"
The metaphysics professor said urgently, mainly because...
He had already pictured it in his mind, and it was terrifying.
"That won't happen, there won't be any corpses."
Zhou Lin said confidently. Based on his experiences in his previous life, this shouldn't be an issue.
However, the human skin was probably unavoidable.
"Follow me, let's go together."
Zhou Lin led everyone towards the interior without looking back.
"Professor, this door..."
Where is it?
Before Captain Bai could finish speaking, he saw Zhou Lin raise his foot and, with a gentle push, create a hole in the stone wall.
Captain Bai was shocked. Was this Zhou Lin a walking excavator? He was worried that if one day he decided to tackle a load-bearing wall, they would all be buried alive.
"Isn't this a door? It's actually very easy to find, just a kick and it's done, very easily solved."
Zhou Lin smiled faintly as he looked at the scene before him.
Just as he was about to step through the stone wall, he heard a joyous sound and the beating of gongs and drums.
Captain Bai, who was about to enter, froze instantly, a smile deeply etched on his lips.
He froze for a moment. Did he just hear something?
Was that laughter?
"What was that sound? Did I mishear? Why is there a celebratory event? This is a tomb."
The metaphysics professor looked at the scene before him and then at Zhou Lin in disbelief.
"That's because... there's a joyous occasion."
Zhou Lin chuckled and squeezed through the stone wall. He saw a long corridor ahead, with red lanterns lining the sides. In the dim corridor, a single red lantern cast a peculiar glow.
But at the far end, there was another stone door, and figures could be seen moving inside. A horse was tethered nearby.
Red silk streamers were hanging at the entrance.
"Someone's having a wedding here? Damn it, is this human?"
The metaphysics professor cursed in anger upon seeing this situation.
"What do you think? Can this be human?"
Guo Liang looked at the metaphysics professor and replied without hesitation.
"What do we do now? Should we go in?"
Captain Bai looked at the situation ahead and swallowed hard, hesitant to proceed.
"Go in, why wouldn't we?"
Zhou Lin chuckled, stroking his chin. It was a joyous occasion, so they should definitely go.
Participating and sharing in the joy would be good.
"What are you going to do? Should we go around?"
Captain Bai still felt that the situation was not right.
"Go around? This is a joyous occasion, let's share in the good fortune. How old are you all? Still haven't found a partner? This concerns your happiness. Are you all single?"
After saying this, Zhou Lin walked inside.
Captain Bai and the mercenaries behind him looked at Zhou Lin speechlessly. Thank you so much for worrying so much about our lifelong happiness.
Inside the livestream.
"Haha, the boss is amazing. Is he looking to get married? But with the boss's status, how could he lack women? Getting married would be a matter of minutes, wouldn't it? Just a snap of his fingers?"
"But he's considering the mercenaries. It's so hard for mercenaries to find partners."
"But a wedding here? Is this human? Won't it be dangerous?"
"What do you think? Could it not be dangerous? A wedding in a tomb, who would believe this is a good thing?"
Inside the Dean's conference room.
"Is this joyous? This is ghostly! Aren't the people getting married in this tomb ghosts?"
Professor Hu looked at the big screen, puzzled.
"What do you think? Aren't they ghosts? But Zhou Lin insists on going in, could something happen?"
Professor Wen looked at the big screen, his mind starting to wander.
"He must have a purpose. Don't worry, this is not something we should be concerned about."
The Dean watched Zhou Lin walk inside, his gaze somewhat grim.
Inside the tomb.
Zhou Lin walked, observing the lanterns on the sides. The material of these lanterns looked unusually pale, almost a sickly white.
But how were these lanterns red?
Was there a layer of red paper on them?
Zhou Lin stopped, standing by a lantern. The color and texture...
Why did it look different from before?
"What's wrong? Is there a problem with this?"
The metaphysics professor asked, seeing Zhou Lin stop.
"This is made of human skin, and the red color is solidified blood. This is a joyous occasion, inviting us as guests. We must show respect and not go empty-handed."
Zhou Lin took out a bead from his bag and a box.
He placed the bead inside. According to the book, this was a troublesome fellow, so it was best to have some insurance for safety.
"Are you serious?"
Guo Liang looked at Zhou Lin in surprise.
"Otherwise?"
Zhou Lin chuckled and walked in with the box.
Upon reaching the entrance, he handed the box to a servant.
