The Informal Tomb Raiding Diary: She is the occupant of the tomb!-Chapter 279 - 260: Highway Story Time

Dong Sanqi was chatting with the hotel owner and came back to tell us that last night not only the hospital had an incident, but three men having late-night barbecue by the roadside were also attacked. One was seriously injured and died, another was scared out of his mind, and one is missing.

Too many occurrences can’t be ignored; the more consecutive events, the more the public naturally panics. People won’t believe reasons like wild animals or psychos hurting people anymore.

After all, people live in cities now, and while wolves might enter villages, we’ve never heard of them coming to cities to eat people.

Fortunately, after that night, there were no similar incidents, and the colleagues at the sorting center have taken away the troublemakers, but they were all corpses.

Liu Laonian was scared into a sweat last night, which oddly helped him recover. By noon when we went to them, he walked downstairs by himself and got into the car.

Once inside, he and Wang Datou started recounting their thrilling and terrifying experience from last night as if they were meeting relatives.

Dong Sanqi listened in shock, and after they finished, advised, "Don’t talk about it outside, we’re all insiders here, just share among us."

Dong Sanqi scoffed, "In our line of business, we’ve heard many strange stories. What you’re talking about is nothing."

Then the three of them started a ’story-telling competition’ to see who could tell the weirdest story.

Wang Datou suddenly leaned forward, "Isn’t Boss Chen an explorer? Why don’t you tell us about the strange encounters you’ve had?"

Chen Qinghan didn’t tell them he’s a teacher. Dong Sanqi speculated that explorers are wealthy, so he guessed Chen Qinghan was in business.

So Wang Datou and Liu Laonian called him Boss Chen, and Chen Qinghan didn’t deny it, so they assumed they guessed right.

"The strangest thing I encountered... was that I never encountered anything strange." Chen Qinghan lied through his teeth.

"Ha, nowadays rich people going on adventures, it’s almost like tourism. What strange things could happen? Fast cars and beautiful women count?" Dong Sanqi winked and said with a smile.

"Hmph, a fast car counts, beautiful women don’t. Boss Chen is always surrounded by beauties, like cabbages, not surprising." I recalled actually, Chen Qinghan never drove any fancy cars; we always used department-provided cars. If he suddenly showed up with a flashy sports car, that would be strange.

"Look at that, indirectly calling herself a beauty." Dong Sanqi clicked his tongue and said.

"Hey, do I need to hint? I’m naturally beautiful, alright?" I wasn’t shy or bashful like a little girl; I lifted my mask and gave them all a blatantly challenging look.

"Hey hey, Lady Hero, spare us, Lady Hero, you’re the most beautiful, don’t scare me, I’ve always been timid." Dong Sanqi shrank back, quickly turning his head away, not daring to look at me.

"If the person pressing at the door last night was you, the two of us wouldn’t have seen this morning’s sun." Wang Datou clutched his chest, speaking sincerely.

"Burn the bridge after crossing the river, forgetting who taught you survival skills in dangerous situations." I turned back around and lowered my mask, hiding my victorious, stealthy smile inside it.

Scaring timid people is fun, I do love bullying the weak!

"Come to think of it, it’s true, Little Leng was particularly calm, not afraid of that monster at all." Liu Laonian said as if recalling something.

"Of course, you forgot? In the ancient tomb, she wasn’t even afraid of an eight-hundred-year-old zongzi." Wang Datou said.

Hahaha... I laughed heartily inside my mind. An eight-hundred-year-old zongzi must refer to Galaxy. Saying she’s eight hundred years old actually makes her sound young, as eight hundred is just a fraction of her true age.

"I just don’t believe you guys haven’t encountered anything strange. You sure don’t look it. How does the saying go? Calm as Mount Tai crashing... must have experienced such weird things a lot." Dong Sanqi said.

Sure, I’ve encountered strange things many times, but they’re all missions, so I can’t tell others.

"He’s driving, don’t distract him. I’ll tell you some stories." I’ve heard quite a few from old tomb robbers and foreign explorers, all types.

The three in the backseat all nodded in agreement, eagerly waiting with anticipation.

I started with a story from a foreign explorer. He said that when he was young, he fell ill and went back to his old country home to recuperate.

One stormy night, with thunder and lightning and an impending storm, the windows on the first floor of the old house fluttered in the wind and shattered the glass. He went downstairs to close the windows when he heard a woman crying outside.

Perhaps it was the heavens cooperating with me because at this moment, lightning streaked across the window, thunder roared, the sky that was clear at noon was now covered with a dark cloud.
