The Informal Tomb Raiding Diary: She is the occupant of the tomb!-Chapter 314 - 271: Sudden Betrayal_3

With a long needle as the center, a large hole with a radius of one meter appeared, and the building, along with the surrounding items and corpses, was all sucked in.

I rolled into the house, jumped out the window on the other side. No one who got sucked into the long needle’s black hole ever came back.

Don’t be fooled by the small size of the long needle; there are actually thousands of Ancient symbols engraved on it. These symbols are said to possess immense power, capable of forming a region akin to a cosmic black hole; once you go in, don’t expect to come out.

Fortunately, the hole it opens each time doesn’t exceed two meters, and it doesn’t last long. As long as you don’t get hit directly by the needle, you can still avoid it.

"Is this really necessary? We’re from the same race—can’t we negotiate?" I mimicked a Cantonese accent from cop movies, thinking it added a bit of underworld flair.

"All you do is mess things up. I’ve told them long ago you’re unreliable." Zhaosi appeared at the street corner, the needle that was just lodged in a building flew back into her hand. This time, she shot two needles, aiming for my head and chest.

"Chairman, watch out!" Bai Yun dashed out from a nearby alley, launching herself in front of me.

There’s something she might not know: even if the needle hits her, I would still be sucked into the black hole because the black hole is a sphere, not a flat circle.

But knowing the danger, she still rushed to block the needle; I must acknowledge her intention.

I hugged her from behind, while a mass of red flames shielded us. This fireball was larger than a truck’s front, and when the needle pierced into the flame, the needle tip disintegrated in front of Bai Yun’s forehead. The needle burned to ash, and Bai Yun’s eyes widened, seemingly unable to believe what just happened.

"Foolish dog, this will deplete your energy, and soon you’ll be weak again like a chicken!" Zhaosi jumped to the roof of a roadside building, a sinister smile on her face.

"So am I a dog or a chicken? Can you be consistent with your insults?" I withdrew the Karmic Fire, smiling cheekily as I asked.

"Hmph." Zhaosi’s face grew cold, surrounded by a large cloud of black smoke, swirling like an impending sandstorm.

"Save it. You know you can’t kill me, so stop making a fuss." We’ve conducted countless ’experiments’ on this, and the result was always that neither could kill the other.

"True, but I can trap you." As Zhaosi spoke, she leaped toward another building, heading straight for the pharmacy.

"Persistent indeed." I hurriedly chased after her, Bai Yun following closely behind me. However, Zhaosi’s black smoke was faster than us. By the time I reached the pharmacy’s entrance, the smoke was already lifting a wooden coffin into the passageway.

The black smoke tightly wrapped around the coffin, and Baozi and the others shouted from inside, the lid held down by the smoke, they couldn’t open it.

"Bai Yun, you stay here. There’s an electric scooter in that passage over there, with a large white bug on it. Take it to the upper tomb chamber and call Chen Qinghan with my phone, tell him I’ve run into some trouble and might get trapped here." I instructed Bai Yun as I chased.

"Chairman, I’m coming with you."

"No, you stay to report. Listen, find any community or private hospital and have them inject physiological saline. You decide the amount, and use a magnet to test; stop when the effect fades."

"But—"

"That’s an order."

"Yes!"

We parted ways at an intersection; she went to get the giant white bug, and I found where the scooters were kept, continuing to chase the wooden coffin.

Having burned Zhaosi’s weapon, she might be furious this time. But luckily, she just wanted to lure me to chase her, not running too fast, so I could keep hearing Baozi and the others’ shouting.

The vertical shaft we came down from hasn’t reached the bottom yet. When Zhaosi said she wanted to trap me, she surely didn’t mean the tomb chamber above.

As expected, she was waiting for me at the end of the passage. Seeing me catch up, she threw the wooden coffin into the shaft.

"Your little friends don’t have Vajra Bodies." Zhaosi, feeling that she finally turned the table, said smugly with a laugh.

"They’re not as weak as you think." I rushed towards Zhaosi on the scooter. The palm’s Karmic Fire spewed out, like a fire dragon, filling the entire passageway entrance and vertical shaft space.

Zhaosi thought I would go save Baozi and the others first, not having the leisure to deal with her. So when she saw the Karmic Fire spew out, she immediately dodged clumsily, slipping and falling into the shaft.

She uses black smoke, and I use Karmic Fire, both with limitations. By coincidence, she reached her limit, and as her body fell, without the black smoke’s support, she would surely fall directly to the bottom.

Bai Yun’s Tool Man caught up at this time, handing me a set of equipment. With it on hands and feet, I could climb the shaft walls like a gecko.

I hurriedly put it on, climbing down the shaft. After just a few meters, I heard Baozi’s cries for help below: "Help! I can’t hold on anymore!"
