"Damn, it's a spirit-seeking live stream! Wasn't this banned ages ago?"
"Don't talk nonsense! Spirit-seeking live streams are banned, not archaeology live streams! What we're watching now is a legitimate online archaeology press conference. Spirit-seeking live stream, never heard of it, never seen it, don't bring it up!"
"Right, right, this is an archaeology press conference, not a spirit-seeking live stream. Everyone watch your words, don't get the stream shut down. Then none of us will be able to watch."
"Get outta here! Others might get the stream shut down, but this one definitely won't. Because I just checked, this Liu Bin is a genuine archaeology institute staff member, using the institute's account. Pure and official, a government live stream, who dares to shut it down?"
"That's good then! Everyone stop yapping and focus on the stream! Zhang Daoling's tomb, imagine how thrilling!"
On the bullet screen, netizens were constantly interacting.
As the screen gradually darkened, became silent, and eerily strange.
The bullet screen slowly dwindled.
Clearly, all the netizens watching the stream had unconsciously immersed themselves in the role, becoming uncontrollably fearful.
"Everyone, pay close attention. This is the ancient well said to have suppressed countless strange things. This ancient well, according to historical records, is called the Xuan Well. The entire well shaft has a rare shape, like a waist drum, narrow in the middle and wide at both ends."
"Look at these well bricks, covered with a thick layer of moss. You can tell they're very old."
"I'll get closer to the well bricks for everyone to see..."
Liu Bin, while live-streaming, secretly reversed his phone camera.
The camera zoomed in on a plain blue brick he had prepared earlier.
This trick of substituting the real with the fake instantly created a false impression in everyone's minds.
They believed that all the well bricks of the Xuan Well were made of blue bricks, not jade bricks.
Even if Wang Zizai and the other two exposed him later, Liu Bin could use this live stream video as proof, claiming they were purely slandering him.
Most importantly, by being the first to broadcast the survey of the Xuan Well, Liu Bin preemptively claimed the credit for Wang Zizai and the other two.
Even if they had new discoveries later, people would subconsciously assume they were achieved under Liu Bin's leadership.
Wang Zizai and the other two's hope of making a comeback with Zhang Daoling's tomb would thus be officially shattered!
"Hahaha, it's killing three birds with one stone! Brilliant, brilliant!"
Liu Bin thought gleefully.
He was completely unaware of why Xiao Zhao hadn't appeared for so long.
Meanwhile, inside the tent.
Wang Zizai, Elder Dong, and Professor Li were still researching the patterns on these well bricks.
Suddenly, Liang Yu, Professor Li's student, burst in holding her phone.
"Teachers, something bad has happened!"
"We've been ambushed!"
Hearing Liang Yu's nonsensical words, the three who were engrossed in their research subconsciously looked up.
After exchanging glances, Professor Li spoke first and reprimanded, "Liang Yu, are you playing your 'King of Glory' game again?"
"I've told you countless times, leisure time is leisure time, work time is work time, you must distinguish between them! I don't forbid you from playing games, but you can't do it at a time like this!"
"And if you play, fine, but why are you shouting in front of us three? Do you think I can help you turn the tables? Or do you think Elder Dong and Professor Wang are masters of the game?"
"Uh..." Wang Zizai scratched his head. "I'm pretty good with Luban. Did the crystal explode? Should I try to help you play?"
Both Wang Zizai and Elder Dong were fond of students like Liang Yu.
They were willing to show a bit of indulgence.
After all, she was the only student who steadfastly followed Professor Li and tried to save him when he was in trouble!
If there was a concept of direct disciples these days, Liang Yu would definitely be Professor Li's direct disciple!
"No, no..." Liang Yu quickly waved her hands.
"Teachers, I'm not playing a game. I mean... forget it, just watch it yourselves!"
Liang Yu suddenly felt it was hard to explain, so she handed her phone to the three.
At first, the three looked at the phone, not understanding.
But as they heard the voices coming from the phone, they were all startled.
"Liu Bin?"
Upon hearing what Liu Bin was doing, and how he was emphatically claiming that the Xuan Well's bricks were ancient blue bricks, the three became furious and slammed the table.
"This is too much! Too much!"
"This was our discovery, and now Liu Bin has stolen it and made it his!"
"What's most infuriating is that Liu Bin is trying to pass off a fake, deceiving the public with a fake brick! What does he want?"
Elder Dong sighed, "What else could he want? He wants to claim the Xuan Well's jade bricks for himself! I can see through his petty scheme at a glance. Most importantly, he's using a live stream to create a false first impression for the public. Even if we step forward to expose him later, he can use this live stream video to refute us."
"And given our current reputation... the public will probably believe him more than us!"
Bang!
Professor Li slammed the phone onto the table.
"How did I not see this person was so venomous before? With his actions, even if we excavate Zhang Daoling's tomb, it will become his achievement! We were counting on this to make a comeback, but before it even began, he's already stolen the credit!"
Liang Yu looked at her phone with a pained expression.
In his rage, her teacher seemed to have forgotten that the phone wasn't his, but hers.
"What should we do? Should we go stop him now?" Wang Zizai asked.
"It's too late. If we go now, we'll definitely be filmed. Then we'll truly be 'trying to catch the fox and ending up covered in soot,' becoming villains who attack the innocent and claim credit for their deeds!"
Elder Dong shook his head, rejecting Wang Zizai's suggestion.
The three fell into silence, staring at each other, speechless for a long time.
Finally, Liang Yu cautiously said, "Perhaps... we should ask Mr. Ying? After all, he's the investor, and he should be informed of such a change."
"Right, right, tell Mr. Ying quickly! Mr. Ying is cunning... resourceful! He'll definitely have a way to deal with this damn Liu Bin!" Professor Li slapped his forehead and said.
Then, he pulled Elder Dong and Wang Zizai along, heading towards Ying Chen's tent.
But in the next second, a figure appeared at the doorway.
It was Ying Chen, the person they were looking for!
Upon seeing the three, Ying Chen's first sentence was: "Good will be rewarded, evil will be punished; it's not that it won't be repaid, but the time has not yet come."
The three froze upon hearing this.
When did Mr. Ying start believing in heavenly retribution?
Most importantly, if there were such a thing as retribution in this world, the ancients wouldn't have written the timeless saying with such hatred: "Those who kill and set fires have golden belts, while those who build bridges and repair roads die without a body!"
Relying on heavenly retribution to punish Liu Bin would likely take until the next life!
