Chapter 715 - 15: Procession_3
The group looked utterly bewildered.
Then.
When Si Yujie saw the ancient, simple sword with "Tai’e" etched on the blade in Chen Lusi’s hand, she finally snapped out of it and exclaimed urgently, "Chen Lusi, is it possible that Emperor Shi is really going on a tour!?"
"...Probably."
Chen Lusi glanced at the palace, her expression somewhat strange.
Tang Language retorted from the side, "Isn’t this a mess? An emperor going on a modern tour? He doesn’t even have money! Can’t even afford a meal!?"
Lin Ying slightly furrowed her elegant brows, watching Chen Lusi’s back, "No, the important thing now is... the final outcome."
"What are you guys talking about?"
Xia Panqiu, still left in the dark, asked instinctively, feeling a bit baffled upon hearing this.
Tang Language gave Xia Panqiu a glance, then quickly started recounting the shocking scenes she had just witnessed.
After listening, Xia Panqiu sharply gasped, her fair face crumpling.
This is... too unbelievable.
A two thousand-year-dead emperor... wants to tour!?
"Talking about this now is meaningless."
Chen Lusi thought for a moment and interrupted them, saying, "The important thing is to notify Ji Xin, then let the local Security Army and Celestial Strategy Mansion members be prepared. Although it’s unclear if he’s an Anomaly Realm derivative or, as he claimed, an Illusion Dream person residing in the Residual Veins.
But one thing is certain, he has self-awareness... and the ability to move freely.
Though we don’t know how long this situation will last, since he claims he wants to tour, we must be prepared."
"..."
The women all fell silent.
They really hadn’t expected that investigating the First Emperor’s Mausoleum would result in this.
Full of dangers?
Not really.
They merely found Emperor Shi...
"How do we get out?"
Si Yujie looked around, and just as she asked,
Chen Lusi noticed the Tai’e Sword in her hand was vibrating.
She paused for a moment, then instinctively raised the ancient Tai’e Sword in her hand.
A beam of light swept across the entire realm.
The group instantly disappeared.
...
Outside the mausoleum.
At first.
Li Zheng and Wu You saw Chen Lusi and the others vanish and were in a panic until they found they could contact them via phone, at which point they barely calmed down.
However, being outside the Anomaly Realm of the mausoleum,
The two couldn’t be of much help, merely following Si Yujie’s instructions to investigate the mausoleum’s periphery.
But after Chen Lusi and the others entered the Anomaly Realm,
the entire Emperor’s Mausoleum went quiet.
According to Gong Fei, the previously seemingly irreversible ascent trend of the Underground Palace had ceased.
Very strange.
This also left Li Zheng and Wu You’s investigation fruitless.
After all, without any activity, the First Emperor’s Mausoleum was just a mountain... or more precisely, a mound of sealed earth.
There was nothing worth investigating among the mountains and trees.
Wu You walked another round, returned to the exit of the First Emperor’s Mausoleum, stopped, and noticed Li Zheng and Gong Fei hadn’t returned yet. He then took out his phone, preparing to contact Si Yujie to inquire about their situation again.
Just as he took out his phone, he noticed not far away, a man dressed in black garments, with an authoritative brow, slowly walking towards him.
Wu You observed the black gown on him, his long hair elegantly tied up with a Jade Hairpin, slightly stunned.
The first thought was—are COSPLAYers so dedicated nowadays?
Came to the First Emperor’s Mausoleum to COS Qin People?
And his demeanor, is actually quite convincing?
The man walked towards Wu You, turning his head slightly to cast him a calm glance.
Noticing the man’s gaze, Wu You dialed the phone while greeting him with a smile, "Bro, it really looks convincing."
The man did not respond.
Wu You chuckled, just as he looked away and answered the call, he suddenly noticed... a Golden Kingfisher perching on the man’s shoulder.
Why... does this bird look so familiar?
Keeping hold of his phone, seeing the Golden Kingfisher, Wu You hesitated briefly, and then his gaze slowly moved down, vaguely spotting a Heirloom Seal of the Realm gripped in the man’s right palm.
Heirloom Seal?
Wu You looked away.
The man brushed past him.
In the next moment.
Wu You abruptly turned around, suddenly realizing.
... But there was no man behind him?
At the same time.
Si Yujie’s phone rang in front.
Wu You turned back bewilderedly.
Chen Lusi, Si Yujie, Lin Ying, and Xia Panqiu were standing not far away.
"You guys..."
Wu You looked behind him again, then at Chen Lusi and the others in front, slightly confused.
"Wu You! Have you been here the whole time?"
Si Yujie, after coming out and seeing Wu You, immediately questioned him, "Did you just see anyone leaving?"
"I wasn’t here the whole time."
Still somewhat confused, Wu You replied instinctively, "But I did see someone leaving just now, even if it might be an illusion, I saw the Golden Goose and Heirloom Seal in his hand..."
Upon hearing this,
all the women gasped sharply.
Si Yujie muttered, "He really went on a tour..."
The others were just as shocked.
Still at a loss, Wu You asked, "What are you guys talking about! Who was that person just now?"
"Who else could it be."
Tang Language sighed, "Emperor Shi! The one buried in the mausoleum! He really rose from the coffin! You have no idea..."
She began to recount the recent occurrences.
And as Tang Language spoke, Wu You’s mouth gradually dropped open, his heart pounded like a drum, his mind roaring... going blank.
He stood stunned for a while, then stumbled back, unable to stand any longer, sitting down with a bewildered expression.
... "I just became buddy-buddies with Emperor Qin Shi Huang..."
