Tang Lao, Professor Lin, and the historian were all astonished when they looked at the mummy. It was truly bizarre.
The security personnel behind them gasped, not daring to look a second time. Anyone who saw it would feel their scalp tingle.
In the live stream.
"Damn, there's a mummy in here? No wonder the boss said it was eerie, it really is."
"I can't take it anymore, the eyes of this mummy will haunt anyone who sees them. Even when I close my eyes, all I see is this thing."
"What immortal tomb, this is just a terrifying tomb, the most terrifying thing."
"Holy crap, one glance and I'll lose years off my life."
"No, why do I feel so angry looking at it? I inexplicably want to lash out."
Inside the tomb.
Zhou Lin felt something strange, and then a flash of black energy flickered before his eyes.
"Everyone be careful, don't look into his eyes..."
As soon as Zhou Lin finished speaking, the faces of those around him contorted in terror.
"Why are you looking at me? You demon, I'll fight you to the death."
"And you, you're no good either."
The students from the archaeological team behind them suddenly yelled and began to attack the two classmates beside them.
These two students seemed to be possessed, swinging their fists without any regard for their friendship.
They threw fierce punches, and soon the three were wrestling, as if they had seen their sworn enemies.
Facing the situation of the three, Tang Lao, the historian, and Wolf King and the others were stunned at first.
Just as Tang Lao looked at Professor Lin's face, Professor Lin's face turned ferocious, and he raised the dagger in his hand to stab him.
Tang Lao was greatly alarmed and quickly reached out to stop him, preventing the dagger from injuring him.
Then, his inner rage instantly ignited, and he also harbored murderous intent.
Wolf King, the Taoist, the gymnastics champion, and the Olympic champion all looked at the people around them.
They all had ferocious expressions, and the security personnel and everyone else began to fight.
For a time, the entire tomb was filled with the sounds of fists hitting flesh and the scraping of daggers.
This sudden change left the live stream viewers bewildered.
"Damn it, why are they fighting all of a sudden? What's the reason?"
"I don't know, who knows why? Their faces look so ferocious, it's terrifying."
"Exactly, Tang Lao's eyes are also problematic. Why does he look so angry?"
"Holy crap, that Wolf King is really ruthless. Fortunately, the gymnastics champion is skilled, otherwise Wolf King's fist would have hit his nose, probably breaking his nasal bone."
"What is going on? Why has it suddenly turned into infighting? Can anyone explain?"
...
Zhou Lin was not fooled by this illusion. Instead, he looked at the mummy.
The mummy's angry eyes happened to be looking at Zhou Lin.
"What are you looking at? Are you sick? You should have just continued as a Fangshi, right? Why did you have to research ascension? Now you haven't succeeded, and you've dragged yourself down."
"Fine, even if you dragged yourself down, it's your own fault. Why drag me into it? Do you know how poor I am as a novelist? Don't you know it's not easy for me to earn money?"
"You're causing all this trouble, aren't you delaying my earning money? I'm so angry just looking at it."
Zhou Lin first unleashed a torrent of abuse at the mummy, then raised his fist and punched it directly in the eyes.
The mummy could only be beaten, its eyes still fixed on Zhou Lin, but in its rage, there was a hint of confusion. Why was the illusion ineffective against this man?
Zhou Lin sneered. A joke, what was his status? How could a mere Fangshi possibly deceive him?
Was the divine king's bloodline he possessed fake? Immune to all poisons, bloodline suppression, how could a mere illusion bully him?
The more the mummy looked at Zhou Lin, the more ruthless Zhou Lin became.
"What are you looking at? You've been dead for so many years. Do you know how expensive things are now? Do you know the price of rice per jin?"
"Damn it, I'm just here to make some money to support my family, and you're here to stop me. What do you think you are?"
"And now you dare to bewitch these people and even want to fight me? I'll show you what it means to be in full bloom, I'll beat you into a pulp."
Zhou Lin became more and more angry as he spoke, and his blows became more vicious than before, never deviating from the topic of money.
In just a few minutes, the mummy was beaten to pieces.
The professors, participants, and security personnel who had been affected by the illusion suddenly regained consciousness.
When they saw the weapons in their hands pointed at their friends, they quickly withdrew them, then slumped to the ground, clutching their wounds.
One by one, they were clutching their wounds, their faces blank as they recalled the scenes they had just witnessed.
The live stream viewers were stunned.
"Damn, the boss is amazing! He just dismantled the mummy like that? Beat it to a pulp."
"No, I really want to know why the professors and Tang Lao became so strange, and why the boss was fine? And he even dealt with this Fangshi..."
"I know the boss's abilities, but now I've noticed that the boss is having a hard time. When he was fighting, he kept talking about money."
"Exactly. You don't know the price of oil and salt until you manage a household. It seems the boss is a good hand at managing a home."
...
At this moment, Zhou Lin looked at the Fangshi he had just destroyed, his anger not yet fully subsided. He then walked over to Tang Lao.
He saw that Tang Lao's face was covered in wounds, and his eyes were bruised like a panda's.
"Tang Lao, are you alright?"
Zhou Lin asked with concern.
"I'm fine, I'm fine. This old body of mine really can't take a beating."
Tang Lao felt a sharp pain in his face. He dared not make any exaggerated expressions, and even a slight movement caused him to gasp in pain. He then looked at Zhou Lin.
"What happened to us just now? I thought I saw bad guys, and Professor Lin was going to kill me."
Tang Lao felt a chill run down his spine thinking about it.
"Tang Lao, you're wrong. It was you who tried to kill me. I saw you rush at me with a dagger."
Professor Lin expressed his strong dissatisfaction upon hearing this.
"I didn't! Why would I stab you?"
Tang Lao claimed to be innocent.
"It's not your fault. That Fangshi used an illusion on you, so everything you saw was a hallucination. The purpose was to make you kill each other."
