Chapter 484: Chapter 484: Another Mission Arrives
Nan Xi booked the earliest flight, eager to have Lin Xiaoyan check her health after returning.
Lin Xiaoyan felt there was no issue because after a few days of fatigue, she was fine again starting yesterday.
"Sister Nan, I’m really okay, don’t worry."
The four arrived at the airport, waiting in the lounge.
Suddenly, Lin Xiaoyan’s phone rang.
It was a call from the Special Investigation Bureau.
Five minutes later, Lin Xiaoyan hung up and looked at Nan Xi, "Sister Nan, cancel the flight tickets, we’re not leaving."
Nan Xi paused for a moment after hearing, then got up to cancel the tickets.
Xiao Bo and Lin Feng looked at Lin Xiaoyan, "What’s going on?"
Lin Xiaoyan rubbed her forehead, "It’s a mission, and it happens to be in Meng Province."
Nan Xi came back after refunding the tickets, and Lin Xiaoyan informed her of the upcoming mission.
After listening, Nan Xi was silent.
"Let’s find a hospital to check your health first, then head over there."
Lin Xiaoyan: "I’m fine, Sister Nan, look at me, since I woke up this morning, I’ve felt great.
The Bureau is urging me to hurry over."
"I’ll definitely go for a check-up once the mission is over!"
Lin Xiaoyan promised Nan Xi.
Lin Feng, sitting nearby, said, "Don’t worry, Xiao Yan is in good health; she’s blessed with longevity."
After hearing Lin Feng, Nan Xi reluctantly nodded.
The four took a car to the location provided by the Bureau.
On the way, Lin Xiaoyan received a call from Shi Er.
"Yanyan, did you get a call from the Bureau?"
Lin Xiaoyan: "Yes, I’m on my way now, are you coming too?"
Shi Er smiled, "Yes, we also got the call and are packing to head over.
Word is this mission came from Beijing Archaeological College, they say they’ve found Sihan’s tomb..."
After hanging up, Lin Xiaoyan opened her mouth to speak but held back due to being in the car with others.
Sihan’s tomb, a mysterious enigma, has been discovered!
Uncertain if it’s true.
If it is, she’d witness history firsthand!
At night, Lin Xiaoyan and the others arrived at the location.
They stopped in a small town.
"They’ve arrived, Yanyan is here!"
Shi Er happily ran over upon seeing the four.
"Hahaha, I didn’t expect we’d meet again so soon!"
Lin Xiaoyan smiled, "Indeed, here we are after just a few hours."
Xuan Er came over and invited Lin Xiaoyan and her group inside.
Once inside, Lin Xiaoyan noticed the room full of students and professors.
These people were clearly scholars.
"Dean Zhang, everyone’s here,"
Xuan Er called out.
An elderly man with white hair looked up and approached.
"This is the dean of Beijing Archaeological College, Dean Zhang."
"And this is Mr. Lin from our Bureau."
Lin Xiaoyan smiled and greeted Dean Zhang.
"Hello, Dean Zhang."
She extended her hand to shake with Dean Zhang.
Dean Zhang smiled, "Hello, Mr. Lin."
Upon releasing hands, Lin Xiaoyan slightly furrowed her brow, glancing at Shi Er beside her.
Shi Er noticed Lin Xiaoyan’s gaze, briefly stiffening her smile, then returning to normal.
She gently linked arms with Lin Xiaoyan.
Lin Xiaoyan: ......
Xuan Er noticed their gestures, his eyes flickering.
"Tomorrow we head to the tomb, after thorough measurements and studies, we’ve confirmed Sihan’s tomb location,"
Dean Zhang spoke with excitement and fervor.
After so many years, they finally found Sihan’s tomb.
"Then we’ll be troubling everyone..."
Shi Er pulled Lin Xiaoyan aside, whispering, "What did you see?"
Lin Xiaoyan scanned the room.
Everyone wore expressions of anticipation and excitement.
If it’s confirmed to be Sihan’s tomb, its excavation would draw worldwide attention, and these individuals would gain recognition, even a place in archaeology.
However, that tomb... might be inaccessible.
Lin Xiaoyan slightly shook her head, "Talk later."
Shi Er stifled her curiosity, looking towards the talking Dean Zhang.
At night, Lin Xiaoyan followed Shi Er to Xuan Er’s room.
Xuan Wu didn’t come this time, he’s at the hospital with Shiyi.
"Xiao Lin, did you see something?"
Lin Xiaoyan nodded, "During my handshake with Dean Zhang, I saw that a black mist would descend on the tomb tomorrow, causing excruciating pain and relentless bleeding for those it touches."
"Then I noticed a giant centipede on Shi Er, huge!"
"And hairless monkeys, these creatures are massive and bloodthirsty!"
After hearing Lin Xiaoyan, Xuan Liu burst into laughter.
"Meng Province, a rare visit, and to think it spawns such creatures. Fascinating!
It’s fortunate this area is sparsely populated, preventing prior incidents."
Xuan Er pondered, then looked at Lin Xiaoyan, "Was the tomb sealed in the end?"
Lin Xiaoyan nodded, "Yes, due to the many emerging creatures, Dean Zhang and the others returned to Beijing for treatment, and the tomb was sealed."
Shi Er lamented, "Pity, Dean Zhang thought they could excavate Sihan’s tomb this time, but alas..."
Xuan Er: "Let’s see tomorrow. If it’s impossible, we’ll leave early."
Xuan Liu: "What about the creatures in the tomb? If they come out one day..."
Xuan Er: "We’ll assess and, if needed, apply for explosive measures."
Hearing Xuan Er’s words, Lin Xiaoyan and others fell silent.
For now, it’s the only option.
The next morning, the entire courtyard was bustling.
Lin Xiaoyan finished her morning routine and stepped outside to see the Archaeological College students eagerly preparing to depart.
Nan Xi saw Lin Xiaoyan awake and called her over for breakfast.
Lin Xiaoyan entered the dining area, seeing Xuan Er and the rest eating.
"Yanyan, come eat."
Shi Er called to Lin Xiaoyan.
Lin Xiaoyan sat down, and Nan Xi served her food, "Eat up, who knows when we’ll eat lunch, better fill up."
Glancing at the large bowl of food, Lin Xiaoyan looked up in surprise.
"It’s too much, I can’t finish it."
Nan Xi: "Eat as much as you can, I’ll eat what’s left."
Resigned, Lin Xiaoyan began eating.
Nan Xi finished whatever was leftover.
"Shall we go?"
Dean Zhang eagerly looked at Xuan Er and the others.
Xuan Er glanced at Lin Xiaoyan, "Xiao Lin, do you want to stay here?"
Lin Xiaoyan: ?
"No, I’m coming with you."
Xuan Er glanced at Lin Xiaoyan’s abdomen, nodding, "Alright."
Once everyone was ready, they set off immediately.
After an hour’s drive, they finally arrived.
From a distance, Lin Xiaoyan saw many tents.
The tents had been set up a week prior.
Dean Zhang and his team surveyed during the day and stayed in the town at night.
They feared wild animals might attack at night.
"This is it!" Dean Zhang pointed to a spot.
