I also felt a twinge of fear, but the investigations over the past few days had made me accustomed to being alert.
I immediately realized that it might be the power of the Vengeful Spirit at work.
Unlike others who ran away, I continued to keep my eyes on Old Zhao, preventing him from escaping amidst the chaos.
However, what I didn't expect was that Old Zhao suddenly charged in front of me, his eyes filled with fear and madness.
"Do you see this? It's all your doing!"
Old Zhao shouted loudly, "You insisted on investigating these matters, and now look what you've done! Are you satisfied?!"
In order to resolve the issue quickly, I sought out Master Li and Xiao Chen, hoping they could help me investigate.
"Master Li, you are the most knowledgeable elder about the construction site; I hope to get your assistance."
I looked into Master Li's eyes and said sincerely, "So many strange things have happened at the construction site. If we don't resolve this quickly, everyone will be affected."
Master Li appeared hesitant. He sighed and said, "Xiao Zhang, it's not that I don't want to help you; I'm just worried that we might get involved and anger the Vengeful Spirit in the ancient tomb."
I shook my head and replied, "Master Li, we can't always live in fear. If we don't address the problem ourselves, who will ensure the safety of the construction site?"
Xiao Chen chimed in from the side, "That's right, Master Li. We can't just sit back and do nothing; we have to take action."
Master Li looked at us, pondered for a moment, and finally nodded in agreement to our request.
With the help of Master Li and Xiao Chen, my confidence soared, and the three of us decided to uncover the secrets of the ancient tomb together.
However, as we delved deeper into our investigation, the opposition at the construction site grew stronger.
Some workers began to deliberately obstruct our investigation; they not only refused to cooperate but even resorted to sabotage.
On one occasion, we were about to search a corner of the site for clues when we found the path blocked.
"You can't go there; that's restricted construction area."
Several workers stopped us, their attitude very firm.
"Why not? There's clearly nothing there."
I questioned their decision, but they remained unyielding.
"This is a site regulation; we are just enforcers."
With no other choice, we had to seek alternative methods, but similar obstructions became increasingly frequent.
Despite this, we persisted in our investigation until one day we finally found the entrance to the ancient tomb.
It was an extremely concealed opening located in the northwest corner of the construction site, surrounded by piles of building materials and debris.
We exerted a tremendous effort to clear the obstacles in front of the entrance, but when we entered the cave, we encountered unexpected difficulties.
The terrain of the construction site was much more complex than we had imagined, and we knew very little about the internal structure of the ancient tomb.
We tried various methods but still could not find the correct route.
Moreover, the tomb was filled with various traps, forcing us to be extremely cautious to avoid triggering any mechanisms. However, there is always a way out; an accidental excavation led us to discover clues pointing to the entrance of the tomb.
" Xiao Zhang, come look at this!"
One evening, Xiao Chen excitedly called me over.
I hurried over and saw that he was holding an ancient stone slab with a line of faint inscriptions on it.
"It seems to say 'God's Graveyard'."
