Deadly Forbidden Tomb - C108

Doesn’t that mean I don’t even have a way out?

Looking at the dark abyss, I couldn’t calm down. The broken suspension bridge was obviously not a coincidence. There was nothing I could do now, so I could only brace myself and head upwards.

Fortunately, I didn’t fall into the abyss along with the suspension bridge. If I was just a moment too slow, the consequences would have been unthinkable.

On the other side of the drawbridge was another tunnel, but this one was much brighter and less eerie than the one before. It didn’t take me long to get out.

The moment I emerged from the cave, I finally saw the full moon in the sky.

I rested for a while and ate some food. When I recovered my strength, I carried Huang Xiaoman on my back and continued walking down the road. After walking for a long time, I finally saw some signs of human habitation when the sky began to brighten.

It was a group of criss-crossing buildings, some high and some low, arranged in a disorderly manner.

Looking at the number of houses, this Chang’an Town is even bigger than I had imagined, and I can’t even see the end of it. Because of the terrain, the houses gathered together were like a giant pyramid, and the top of the pyramid was a mountain.

Clouds and mist shrouded the mountain, making it difficult to see clearly.

To be honest, before I came in, I had thought that the Chang’an Town was a place filled with ghosts and monsters, and had even made preparations to see a terrifying event.

But when I truly neared the Chang’an Town, I found out that it was especially different.

Chang’an Town were like a paradise, almost to the point of isolation. This place not only had mountains, rivers, fields, even schools, it was completely self-sufficient, and as far as the eye could see, it was completely peaceful, without any so-called demons and ghosts.

This made me feel particularly surprised. There were many incidents happening outside the town, but the inside of the town was extremely peaceful. I kept having the feeling that something was amiss.

At daybreak, the sound of chickens chirping could be heard.

The people from the Chang’an Town went out to work one after another, and after a few children finished washing themselves, they all headed towards the school in the center of the town.

At this moment, I finally realized that something was wrong. Whether it was adults or children, they didn’t say anything after they left the house!

Even when they crossed each other, no one spoke. It was as if they were strangers. Other than the chirping of chickens, the entire Chang’an Town was dead silent. The strangest thing was that all of them had no expression on their faces, and could only silently do the work on their hands.

I quickly approached an uncle. Just as I wanted to greet him, the other party completely ignored me. They only glanced at me expressionlessly before leaving quickly.

I tried calling the others, and the same thing happened, so that people acted as if I didn’t exist. Those who didn’t react completely treated me as a transparent person, and even the children of Chang’an Town walked past me expressionlessly.

It seemed exceptionally calm and strange.

Looking around, even though the entire Chang’an Town was filled with people, there was not a single sound. Everyone seemed to have turned into a mute, not saying a single word.

Seeing this, I panicked a little. Looking at the area, there were at least several thousand people in the Chang’an Town, or even over ten thousand people. Tens of thousands of people did not say a word, not a single sound. This kind of scene made my scalp tingle and gave me a creepy feeling.

Even though the sun was shining brightly, cold sweat flowed down my body. The atmosphere was extremely oppressing.

I couldn’t hold it in anymore and decided to grab hold of someone to ask about the situation.

However, just as I was about to make my move, a cold laughter sounded out from beside me. “If I were you, I wouldn’t even touch them.”

I looked in the direction of the voice and saw two men standing on a small hill, looking down at me. Compared to the simple and unadorned clothing in the town, the two were dressed in fashionable clothing and had famous brands on their clothes and shoes.

One of the two men was tall and the other was short. The taller one had a horse-faced, hawk-like nose, while the shorter one had a round face and wore a pair of eyes. They looked at me like I was dead, making me uncomfortable.

“Who are you?” I frowned.

“Just like you, they are all people who accidentally broke into the Chang’an Town.”

The hook-nosed man sneered and said, “How did you get in? Forget it, it’s not important. Since you can’t get out, just obediently stay here for the rest of your life! ”

“What do you mean?” His words startled me.

The hawk-nosed man did not speak further. He shot the Bespectacled Man a look and turned to leave. Before he left, I noticed that his gaze was unfriendly as he sized up Huang Xiaoman.

The Bespectacled Man seemed to be a little afraid of the hook nose, after wiping off his sweat, he moved closer to me and said, “You can call me Glasses-man, the one who just left is called Brother Ying. It has been a few years since he entered Chang’an Town, so he hasn’t gone out. Oh right, what’s your name, and why did you come to Chang’an Town? ”

“My name is Li Changsheng, I’m here to look for someone.”

After a simple introduction, I frowned and asked: “Do you know what happened at Chang’an Town? Why are no one in the town talking? ”

Bespectacled Man shook his head: “I’m not too sure about the details. I was originally an archaeologist and followed the professor and the others into the Chang’an Town, but the moment I entered, the suspension bridge broke. From then on, we never went out again.”

The suspension bridge broke?

My heart skipped a beat, and I had a plan. Although I didn’t know the secret of the suspension bridge, it seemed like my Chang’an Town allowed me to go in and out. After entering, the suspension bridge would collapse, and then it would be impossible to get out.

“You don’t have to worry. Although you can’t go out, there won’t be any danger to your life either. The condition is that you don’t touch the people from Chang’an Town.” Bespectacled Man comforted me.

I was curious. “What happens if I touch it?”

In that moment, the Bespectacled Man’s expression became somewhat fearful.

He looked around a few times before lowering his voice and said, “I heard that this place is under a curse. Foreigners are not allowed to disturb the lives of the people in the town, or something bad will happen. Last time, there was a person in our archaeological team who couldn’t stand the oppressive atmosphere caused by Chang’an Town. That person didn’t fight back, and still fought with him, but guess what? ”

As he spoke till here, the Bespectacled Man’s voice trembled a little, “Later … “Later on, he died. Both his hands and feet were cut off. He died a terrible death!”

I frowned. “That doesn’t seem to mean anything, does it?” Maybe it’s the revenge of the townspeople, what does it have to do with the curse? ”

“You probably don’t know, on the night of his death, he slept in the same camping tent as us, but all of us didn’t hear a single sound during the entire process. Even the tent didn’t have any traces of being opened, and we only found out the next morning that his hands and feet had been chopped off. He was already long dead!”

Bespectacled Man shrunk his neck and said with a face full of fear: “The weirdest thing is that the one who killed him was none other than himself! He used the axe to cut off his arms and legs and died from the pain. During the entire process, he didn’t let out a single scream. “Tell me, is this something that a human can do?”

Bespectacled Man’s words gave me a fright. It seems that this Chang’an Town is not as calm as it seems.

“How many people are in your archaeological team? “How long have you been here?” I asked.

There’s a total of ten people. They haven’t been in this damn place for more than half a year.” The bespectacled man smiled wryly, “We are still considered good. Brother Ying and the rest have stayed for three to five years. They have searched the entirety of Chang’an Town but couldn’t find a way out.

I couldn’t help but frown. After waiting for three to five years and still being unable to find an exit, could Chang’an Town really be a dead end? If that was the case, then he would be in deep trouble! I don’t want to spend the rest of my life in this bizarre, lifeless Chang’an Town.

“Oh right, you have been here for a long time. Have you heard of a person called Yang Fengxian?” I asked.

“Yang Fengxian?”

Bespectacled Man shook his head: “I’ve never heard of it, I rarely interact with the townspeople, even if I were to talk to them, they would not pay attention to you. And they themselves don’t talk, so no one knows the names of those people, and you might as well say what his features are, and maybe I’ve seen them too. ”

Characteristics?

I suddenly understood. “Oh right, he is a cripple!”

“Cripple?”

Bespectacled Man thought for a while, then said: “I have seen that cripple you mentioned, I wonder if he is the person you’re looking for?”

I was elated and hurriedly asked, “Where is he?” Quick, take me to see him! ”

“You might not be able to see it …”

Bespectacled Man laughed bitterly: “Because… He’s already dead! “
