695 A Million Times for You 57 (2/2)

Wang Jinsheng hurriedly instructed his subordinates to proceed accordingly.

There was barely anyone left after the bunch of people had set off.

”Wang, you guys should stop investigating further on this matter. Don't disturb the owner of the coffin.”

Noticing the grave expression on her face, Wang Jinsheng seemed to have understood what was going on. ”Alright, we won't come here to impose on the coffin's owner anymore. It's getting late and it looks like it's about to snow soon. Let's get going.”

”Alright.” An Xiaoning took one last glance at the cave opening before leaving. However, she almost lost her balance due to the fact that her legs had turned to jelly.

Ma Jianguo hurriedly held her and asked, ”Are you alright?”

”I'm fine, let's go.”

They got inside the car and waited for the archeologists to return.

”Ms. An, what did you see just now? We'd all like to know,” Wang Jinsheng asked, unable to contain his curiosity.

An Xiaoning explained with a look of dismay, ”I actually didn't discover any supernatural presence in the beginning. However, when I stuck my head in to take a closer look… I realized that there were actually spirits inside. We couldn't see anything from the opening because the spirits were on the ceiling of the cave. As long as we don't go near them, they won't harm us. You and your team don't have to bother finding out what lies within the coffin. Wang, I think your lives are more important than uncovering the truth behind those supernatural phenomenons.”

”You have a point. It's the mysterious element of such an enigma that tempts archeologists to find out more about it. Do you think the problem can be solved with the help of a medium?”

An Xiaoning looked at him with a sullen expression and warned sternly, ”I've already warned you of the possible dangers, yet you're still thinking of hiring a medium to destroy the spirits just so you can find out what the coffin is about. Seems like you're not thinking from the perspective of an archeologist; rather, you're intending to do it because of your own selfish reason. I don't have the audacity to guarantee that there would be a solution to solve the problem. May I ask what kind of a medium you are thinking of hiring? Don't end up causing more casualties because of this matter. That'll be a great sin.”

Wang Jinsheng's face stiffened with displeasure and retorted, ”I was just asking you a casual question, I'm not actually going to go ahead with it. I won't act recklessly without having a clear idea of the situation.”

”It's a very sinister place. I hope you'll bear my words in mind, Captain Wang.”

”That goes without saying.”

An Xiaoning did not utter another word, and images of the spirits she had seen earlier flashed through her mind. Judging from the way they were dressed, they did not seem to belong to the modern era and had probably died ages ago.

To her astonishment, they smiled at her.

Yet, they did not seem to be harboring any ill intentions towards her, though she was not sure if her hunch was off.

After all, they were spirits of the dead. It was only understandable that she would get goosebumps from the way they smiled at her.

An Xiaoning constantly pondered over the matter while on the way back.

She was extremely perturbed by the unsettling situation.

What made her ill at ease was the fear that Captain Wang of the archeological team would not give up easily.

The bizarre incident had managed to pique the interest of an outsider like An Xiaoning, what more the archeologists?

She returned to the Gu family mansion and relayed the incident to them at the dining table.

Although the members of the Gu family had not been there to witness the incident in person, they were nonetheless extremely creeped out. Gu Beicheng deduced, ”The archeological team would definitely hire a medium to perform a ritual at the cave. There'll probably be casualties then.”

”I don't know… Humans shouldn't be going against the dead. I think those spirits are extremely menacing and not to be provoked. They could kill humans directly within just seconds. Most mediums wouldn't be able to deal with them. It's best to stay away from such spirits,” An Xiaoning said in frustration.

Lin Mingxi tried to comfort her, ”Don't dwell on it anymore. No one can stop those archeologists if they're bent on risking their lives.”

”I'm just afraid that the situation will blow out of proportion and end up being splattered across the news. By then, the government will definitely hire more people to deal with the situation. They might even end up looking for me again. It'll be hard to clean up the mess then. I really hope to avoid any casualties,” An Xiaoning said worriedly.

”I'll send some people to keep close tabs on this matter and contact you immediately once there's news of the archeologists showing up at the cave again.”

”Alright.”
