Nie Chongyang was quite sensible, and at this moment, he was a little afraid that his words might jinx things.
He only said a word or two, and after Liang Ping started talking, he stopped.
Nie Chongyang pondered, then suddenly said to Liang Ping, "I'm a bit curious, why were we suddenly transferred here, and why is there a tomb here?"
"Whose tomb is this, anyway?"
Based on the current situation, if it were someone irrelevant inside, they would always feel like a clue was missing somewhere. It couldn't be that a new character just appeared out of nowhere, could it?
In short, there should be some connection between these matters.
There shouldn't be a sudden appearance of a new character.
However, guessing based on their known information made them very uncertain.
Hearing Nie Chongyang's question, Liang Ping thought for a moment and then said to Nie Chongyang, "I think, if we have to guess, I believe it should still be related to the Lin family."
"Moreover, I also think that this tomb is either related to Lin Yanqin, or to Lin Yanqin's mother, or to both of them."
"The mother and daughter should have the highest probability."
After hearing Liang Ping's words, Nie Chongyang felt some agreement.
What Liang Ping said made some sense, but there were still some points worth considering.
However, now they couldn't communicate with Ye Tiancheng, which was a bit troublesome, but there was nothing they could do. Here, the two of them were in a situation where they couldn't call heaven or earth.
They could only rely on themselves.
Before, they had finally managed to contact Ye Tiancheng and the little fox, exchanged some clues, learned some new things, and understood more ways to deal with the situation. As a result, before they could even discuss everything thoroughly, they encountered another accident.
However, this was not a complaint.
Nie Chongyang and Liang Ping both knew very well that even if they had to do it again, they would make the same choice if they encountered the same situation, no matter how many times.
Perhaps it was a professional habit.
Nie Chongyang said, "I wonder, if it really is related to Lin Yanqin and her mother, who would have created this tomb?"
"According to the known conditions, only two people are suspects, right?"
Liang Ping nodded and said, "Yes, currently, Lin Yanqin's relationships are quite clear. After the incident, the only people who would do something like this are Lin Yanqin's two brothers."
Nie Chongyang recalled the clues and information he had obtained when he communicated with Ye Tiancheng and the others before.
He said, "That later head of the Lin family, Lin Yanshu, who is Lin Yanqin's biological brother, sounds like a hypocrite with a smiling face who is two-faced and even uses his own sister."
"But it sounds like he cares a lot about his own sister Lin Yanqin, which makes it hard to understand what he's thinking. At the very least, it's hard to understand Lin Yanshu's feelings towards Lin Yanqin, or how deeply he cares about her."
Hearing Nie Chongyang's words, Liang Ping asked Nie Chongyang, "Are you saying this to figure out Lin Yanshu's feelings and level of care for Lin Yanqin to determine if Lin Yanshu is the one behind all this?"
Nie Chongyang replied to Liang Ping, "We can only guess now. This is at least one method, a direction."
"This can still be considered as a reference."
Liang Ping nodded, then shook his head.
Liang Ping said to Nie Chongyang, "Although this method of judgment is indeed useful, I don't think we should be too hasty. What if we are misled by some one-sided information?"
"Moreover, even if someone built such a complex mechanism and tomb for Lin Yanqin and her mother, it doesn't necessarily mean that person was doing it for their good, does it?"
Nie Chongyang was slightly stunned, but he quickly understood.
The situation was indeed like this. If someone wanted to use these two mother and daughter and do something with them, it was also possible.
Ever since they arrived in this damned place, Xiaojing City, all sorts of messy things had been happening. Every day, new accidents and new mysteries could occur.
Nie Chongyang was sometimes very irritable and impatient due to the constant troubles, often being careless and negligent.
He realized that his mindset was not good and he should adjust it. However, he realized this every now and then, but over time, people really couldn't stand it.
Even if reason knew what to do, when faced with various situations, people's reactions were not entirely controlled by their own rationality.
Nie Chongyang sighed slightly.
He said to Liang Ping, "These things are happening one after another, but if we can get out, it will be a good exercise."
"Thinking about the outside world, ever since the world started to change, it's been changing day by day. I don't know what the situation will be like when we get out."
He was afraid that the situation would become even worse.
Anyone with a sense of responsibility would not take such matters lightly.
Let alone Nie Chongyang.
Hearing Nie Chongyang's words, Liang Ping comforted him slightly, "Don't worry too much. Maybe when we get out, everything will just be a fleeting dream, a dream within a dream?"
This was not an impossible thing to happen.
The world had indeed become very strange. Things that were unscientific and illogical before had become possible and normal.
Nie Chongyang said, "Even so, if it were as you say, that would be great."
As he said this, Liang Ping thought of Nie Chongyang and the little fox again and suddenly said, "I thought of Ye Tiancheng and the others. For those matters, they are searching the world for the whereabouts of Fuxi's zither fragments, which must be even more difficult."
"We only occasionally encounter such difficulties, but they probably encounter such strange things frequently while searching for fragments."
"In this situation, they have to solve those troublesome problems every time and still get what they need. Thinking about it this way, Ye Tiancheng is really a remarkable person."
Nie Chongyang also felt a little emotional when he heard Liang Ping say this.
"Ordinary people really can't do so much. Perhaps many capable people, if they were in Ye Tiancheng's position, might not be able to do better."
Liang Ping said, "This is probably what it means when 'heaven is about to bestow a great responsibility upon a person'."
Nie Chongyang listened, stroked his chin, and after thinking for a moment, suddenly said, "Then, by staying by Ye Tiancheng's side, occasionally helping him, interacting with him, and slowly reaching this position and status today, can it be considered ascending to heaven?"
Liang Ping asked somewhat speechlessly, "So, dear Captain Nie, are you the chicken or the dog?"
Nie Chongyang seemed to think seriously and then replied to Liang Ping, "Of course, you are the chicken, and I am the dog."
Liang Ping's fists clenched silently.
If it weren't for the fact that he was his superior and partner, and that they were in danger and needed to cooperate to escape, he would have thrown a punch right now.
What kind of companion was this? Was he trying to anger him to death?
Liang Ping looked at Nie Chongyang with a very low pressure and a deep voice, saying, "Every time the little fox sees you, she gets angry and wants to hit you. You deserve it."
Nie Chongyang touched his nose again and shut his mouth.
His personality had always been like this. Before the little fox appeared, Liang Ping was Nie Chongyang's partner, so Nie Chongyang's mischievousness was naturally directed at his partner.
For this reason, Nie Chongyang had also been beaten by Liang Ping quite a few times.
However, Nie Chongyang also knew that he had brought it upon himself, so he never dodged when he was beaten. But every time, he would forget the pain once he recovered.
It was as if if he didn't get scolded for three hours, his ears would itch, and if he didn't get beaten for three days, his skin would itch.
Nie Chongyang was indeed quite restless.
He had been the kind of child who gave adults a headache since he was young. If he wasn't beaten for three days, he would climb onto the roof to take tiles off, always restless, climbing trees today, finding bird nests tomorrow, going up mountains and down seas, jumping around everywhere, impossible to restrain, impossible to reason with, and beating him was useless.
After beating him, he would be the same the next day.
If it weren't for the fact that Nie Chongyang later became interested in his current profession, actively studied related majors, and then joined the system, thus being subject to some restrictions, his temper would have gradually subsided.
Otherwise, Nie Chongyang would still be that troublesome troublemaker.
Nie Chongyang himself knew how much he deserved to be beaten.
If it were him, facing someone like that, he would beat them. But when he became that person, it was not so easy to control himself.
Nie Chongyang and Liang Ping, talking as they went, returned to the new tomb they had found earlier.
Upon arriving at this place, no matter what they had been arguing about or what topics they had been discussing, their attention now had to be focused on the main business.
This tomb also had a coffin and three stone doors. Opposite the exit of the secret passage they found, there was a stone door, and there was also one on each side of the tomb chamber. Judging by the layout, it was quite symmetrical.
Inside the tomb chamber, there were also many burial objects, including tables, chairs, gold, silver, and jewels. In short, it was very ornate and luxurious.
Moreover, for some unknown reason, whether the entire tomb was like this, or only these two tomb chambers, or individual tomb chambers, was like this.
Anyway, whether it was the more rudimentary tomb chamber before or the very luxurious tomb chamber now, there were oil lamps on both sides in front of the stone doors of these two tomb chambers.
They didn't know what the function of these oil lamps was.
In the previous tomb chamber, Nie Chongyang and Liang Ping saw the oil lamps. Because they couldn't determine if the lamp oil contained any unwanted substances or toxins, they did not rashly light the lamps.
In short, lighting the lamps was definitely not their first option.
They didn't know if lighting the lamps would cause any bad things to happen. Without finding relevant clues or evidence, they would not act rashly.
Later, Nie Chongyang and Liang Ping didn't have time to verify this, to verify the function and effect of the oil lamps, before they discovered new mechanisms and found this tomb chamber.
Therefore, they still couldn't confirm the function of the oil lamps.
However, seeing the oil lamps again, Nie Chongyang and Liang Ping couldn't help but become curious and wanted to know their function.
