Chapter 638

Only seven or eight of them had come down, and even after the door closed it couldn't cut off the walkie-talkie program.

As long as they notified the people above to reopen it according to the markings, that would be enough.

But at this moment Yang Lu didn't do that, because she didn't know whether the coffin would close again if the tomb door was reopened.

The key was what kind of impact it would have on what they were about to do next if it did close.

So for now they could only take it one step at a time, and wait until they had thoroughly studied the situation inside the coffin before saying more.

Whether it concerned the seventh mural or whatever else he had brought with him.

It wouldn't be too late to go out after they had their answer.

Wang Wang Kaixuan slapped his head and said, "Captain Yang, what's going on? Are we stuck in here?"

Everyone had long grown used to Wang Wang Kaixuan's habit of asking questions without using his brain.

Professor Sun shook his head and explained, "Not all of us came down — there are still people up above. Since we already know how the door opens, what are you panicking about?"

Only then did Wang Wang Kaixuan breathe a sigh of relief, and immediately said, "I told you, my brain really isn't enough. Then I'll use the walkie-talkie now to contact the people up above and have them open the door."

With that, Wang Wang Kaixuan had just picked up the walkie-talkie.

At that moment Yang Lu's flashlight beam swept over, and she said at once, "Don't rush. Since this kind of situation appeared when we opened and closed it, that means the two mechanisms work in coordination."

"If we open the door now, the coffin might just close. Better hurry up and look at what's inside the coffin."

Hearing those words, everyone's attention finally shifted to the inside of the coffin, and as the livestream camera and their flashlights together illuminated the interior of the coffin—

Everyone froze, except for Zhang Lin.

That's right — frozen, not scared.

Skeletons sealed away for over a thousand years, even with the aid of preservation, would only retain their flesh through some extremely special means.

Such cases did exist.

But within the bounds of normal logic, it was no surprise to see a skeleton during observation.

So the Gumo Prince was indeed in the state of a skeleton, and lying beside him was another skeleton.

Yang Lu said instinctively, "Is this a husband-and-wife joint burial tomb?"

Professor Sun nodded at this point too, but that wasn't the reason they were frozen.

The point was that he was a prince of a nation after all, yet his coffin was so shabby.

So shabby that one couldn't help starting to suspect that this Gumo Prince had chosen to assassinate the Queen of Jingjue precisely because he was so poor.

If not, why would it have led to such a result?

Could it be that the final attempt to assassinate the Queen of Jingjue had drained enormous financial and material resources, and combined with the Gumo Prince's great kindness toward his own people, he simply hadn't used any luxurious Burial Objects before his death?

But that didn't quite hold up logically either. A prince of a nation — at the very least he should have had some Burial Objects added in, even if they were only ordinary jade pieces and Jin Shi-type items; even a little would have been good.

But apart from the two skeletons, there seemed to be nothing else of any particular significance to be found.

It seemed some Burial Objects had simply rotted away completely with the passage of history.

But there was one certain answer about these rotted things — they were definitely not items of very high value.

Otherwise they wouldn't have failed to withstand the marks of time.

If they had been Jin Shi, jade, and the like, they would have survived forever and not disappeared.

【Why do you think the Gumo Prince's tomb is so shabby?】

【Forget about that for now, let's not put the cart before the horse and forget the question we wanted to ask in the first place.】

【Right, we opened it just now — why didn't we see the seventh mural?】

【That's the real point. Those clout-chasing streamers are talking out of their backsides!】

【Damn! These Sun Zi, they'll say anything for clout — I actually opened an alt account earlier and listened to them for ages.】

【That's your own fault. From now on, for these matters, apart from what Mr. Zhang says, everyone else is full of it.】

A new question arose; at that moment everyone had their train of thought disrupted by the shabbiness inside the coffin.
