“Jack London, this way!”
The captain of the Criminal Investigation Division could see Jack London’s figure from afar and waved his arms at him.
Jack London then walked as quickly as he could toward the captain with the assistance of a few members of the Criminal Investigation Division.
At the same time, the viewers in the livestream also noticed Jack London’s figure and an uproar instantly rose in the comments section.
“It’s Jack London! He’s awake! Fortunately, he’s still alive. That’s great!”
“Mr. Jack! You’ve finally woken up! There was no need to rush over immediately… You’ve just regained consciousness, so it’s okay to take your time!”
“Jack, thanks to your exploration excursion the day before yesterday, this cemetery’s haunted secrets have been exposed to the world!”
“Hey, how could you say that? Jack just woke up. Don’t say such unlucky words!”
…
The netizens clamored, rejoicing over Jack London’s appearance. However, they had no idea that the person here was indeed not Jack London, but the female ghost they had been berating previously for attacking Jack!.
The red-clothed phantom who was still merged in Jack London’s body used his vision to inspect the cemetery in front of her.
She was a spiritual entity, and therefore, was able to see things that others could not.
In her point of view, the entire cemetery only had two shades of color; the cemetery itself was white while the members of the Criminal Investigation Division were black.
As she gazed into the depths of the large cemetery, she spotted clusters of black energy in her vision.
At the same time, several figures appeared in her view, one of them having green energy surrounding the outline of its figure.
When the shed saw this appearance, her eyes narrowed and her teeth chattered…
“It’s him!
“It’s the guy who took my ring!
The woman in red muttered softly.
When the captain of the Criminal Investigation Division overheard her whisper, he looked at her, confused. “Ring? What ring?
“Mr. London, what are you talking about?”
The red-robed female ghost quickly snapped herself out of her thoughts and immediately replied, “Ah… It’s nothing.”
She then reminded herself to zip her mouth from now on; she had almost forgotten that she was currently residing in this body, and could not risk exposing her true identity.
“Mr. London, you came at the right time. I would like to ask you a few questions. Do you still remember if the person who attacked you the other day was a female ghost in red?” asked the captain as he casually ignored what she had said about a ‘ring’.
The captain was not concerned about anything else other than the female in question.
When she realized that this guy was actually asking about her, she immediately frowned.
“What do you want to know?” she asked nervously, in the form of Jack.
When the captain noticed Jack London’s expression, he was immediately pumped with excitement.
“So, the person who attacked you that day was indeed a woman in red clothing?”
Before he could ask any further, he heard the old village chief beside him speak over him.
“Jack, I think you’re mistaken. That woman in red won’t bite. She’s the guardian of this place. All these years, this place has only remained in such peace because of her…”
The old village chief said firmly.
She was stunned when she heard his voice, and turned to look at him.
What a familiar face…
This old fellow, he’s still here…
The woman in red smiled caringly.
A few months ago, she had heard that the old village chief had fallen seriously ill, and he had not visited the cemetery for a long time.
She had thought that the old man would not have been able to make it, but she did not expect to meet him today.
As expected, he was still on her side. He strongly believed that she would not harm others intentionally.
“Old village chief, it’s best not to make a judgment. It’s still too early to decide, we don’t have enough information to add to your claim…” said the captain, carefully.
Then, he looked at Jack London, ready to continue with his series of questions, but was cut short as an explosion caught their attention.
The entire cemetery collapsed as the ground that was still shaking earlier plummeted to the depths of the earth!
“What’s going on? What’s happening?”
The captain of the Criminal Investigation Division roared angrily.
He lowered his head and looked down at the results of the disaster.
At this point, the ground of the entire cemetery had completely sunk, revealing a spacious, empty cavern.
Countless bugs scuttled up along this empty space. Under the illumination of the searchlight, the captain observed that under the collapsed ground, there were many well-built walls and sculptures.
“This… There’s actually another tomb below this cemetery?”
The captain’s eyes widened as he looked on in disbelief.
He wasn’t the only one who was dumbstruck. The entire Criminal Investigation Division was also blown away by this sudden discovery.
The huge number of viewers in the livestream were also completely rendered speechless!
This, this, this…
“Didn’t John Jones say that this place was just a cemetery scattered with small tombs?”
“How could there be such a large tomb hidden underneath this whole area?”
“This tomb is so big, who’s buried underneath?”
Not long after, the entire livestream exploded with all kinds of guesses!
For the Criminal Investigation Division, the appearance of this tomb meant that there was another urgent thing to do – driving away more corpse worms!
As the entire tomb was being revealed to everyone, clouds of black gas and tightly packed corpse insects also poured out underneath the tomb.
This proved to be an extremely difficult task for the members of the Criminal Investigation Division.
They did not even have the time to marvel over the grandeur of this tomb as they quickly threw themselves into the battle once again against the corpse bugs!
“Quick, quick, quick! To the left! The insects are converging to the left! Where’s the flamethrower? Quick, burn them to ashes!”
Some members of the criminal investigation team shouted loudly.
“Reporting. The flamethrowers’ fuel has been completely used up, we have no tools left to fight!”
“Then use the machine guns! Where are your weapons? Take them out and take aim! Fire!”
“Yes!”
The orders were quickly transmitted among one another in the team.
Soon, the firing of machine guns could be heard, reverberating around the entire cemetery.
The mob of corpse worms and Fire Qilin worms stood no chance against the overwhelming firepower as sporadic piles of their dead bodies appeared across the cemetery.
However, this whole process did not last for long. Soon enough, everyone heard the captain’s voice echoing through the place.
“Everyone, stop!
“Stop firing!
“There’s someone under the tomb!”
The captain’s voice resounded in everyone’s ears.
The rattling of machine gun fire stopped abruptly as everyone fixed their eyes on the tomb.
With the help of searchlights under the smoky haze, they could see a few hunched figures emerging within their view. There were indeed people!
“It’s the members of the expedition team! They’re coming out! They’re still alive!”
A member of the Criminal Investigation Division exclaimed loudly.
Soon, the entire Criminal Investigation Division heard it and everyone’s faces were flushed with reassurance and satisfaction.
The captain finally let out a sigh of relief as he fixed his gaze onto the walking figures with anticipation.
While everyone was celebrating, there was only one person who felt like this had not been resolved.
The female ghost in Jack London’s body narrowed her eyes as she scanned the survivors.
“There’s no sign of that guy… Where did the person who stole my ring go?”
