living in the world of reincarnation

Chapter 47 Clues
Feeling the presence of something behind her, Mu Lan immediately released [Thall's Shield] and then quickly turned her head.

As soon as she turned her head, Mu Lan saw a human face. It was a pale face that could not distinguish between male and female. The face was expressionless, and the eyes without pupils stared at her motionlessly. These eyes were surprisingly big and protruded directly. The eye sockets are exposed, which looks inexplicably strange.

Mu Lan didn't think much, and directly swung a wind blade. The magic hit its body and penetrated directly. The thing instantly turned into a black mist, circling around the roof, mixed with the woman's sad howling. He rushed towards Mu Lan.

The nerves tensed up, and the black mist seemed to condense into an entity and hit Mu Lan's front. The moment it touched the shield, a sharp wail filled the room, and the black mist began to dissipate. When Shi Zhengyang broke into the room, All disappeared without a trace.

"What's the matter?" Shi Zhengyang just saw the last black mist, and hurriedly asked Xiang Mulan.

Mu Lan looked around. All the black fog disappeared and everything returned to normal. However, the coldness in the room did not diminish at all. The resentment brought by the ghosts still hovered in the room, making people shudder.

"Something appeared behind me just now and wanted to attack me." Mu Lan said.

"Ghost?" Lin Yiyi also walked into the room and asked curiously.

"It should be that kind of thing, but it has run away." Mu Lan nodded and said, "What did you find in other rooms?"

"Some replicas of bronze and lacquerware." Zhao Ziyu held a square box with a black background and red lacquer in his hand, and played with it with great interest. planted a place."

"Professor Chen has a lot of books at home." Lin Yiyi said, "There are books everywhere, I thought I went into the library."

At this time, Shi Zhengyang said with a puzzled expression: "I found some strange things in another bedroom, please take a look."

The other bedroom was more like a study room. There were some archaeological tools with soil piled in the cardboard boxes on the floor, including shovels and brushes. There were four rows of bookshelves in the center of the room. Shi Zhengyang pointed to one of the bookshelves and took down the one on top. wooden box.

Mu Lan opened the box. Inside was a jade knife carved with beasts. The whole body was white and exquisite in shape. The length of the jade knife was about 12 centimeters, more like a small dagger.

Lin Yiyi elbowed Zhao Ziyu and said, "Young master, you are the most experienced person here. Please appraise it to see if it is true."

Hearing this, Zhao Ziyu took the jade knife from Mu Lan's hand and looked at the light carefully. The jade knife was translucent when the light passed through it. He weighed it again and marveled: "It must be real jade. And it’s the finest mutton-fat white jade.”

"It seems that the old man still has some wealth." Lin Yiyi said.

It is normal for many things here to appear in Professor Chen's house. After looking around, Mu Lan felt that there was nothing worth studying, so she went back to the previous bedroom to read Professor Chen's articles.

The four of them stayed at Professor Chen's home for more than an hour, but he still didn't return. Shi Zhengyang couldn't help but feel a little anxious. He glanced at the time from time to time and said, "It seems that he will be back soon. Let's go to the next archaeological team member." Come home."

The most urgent thing now is to find the clues to start the main task. It is really inappropriate to spend time on Professor Chen. Mu Lan nodded, and Lin Yiyi and Zhao Ziyu also had no objections. Carefully find a piece of cardboard to block the door that has no door lock.

When they came to the street, the four of them stopped another taxi. The second target was Professor Liang's house. His address was a single-family two-story villa in a wealthy area on the outskirts of the city. After driving for about two hours, As soon as she got off the car, Mu Lan felt that something was wrong in the atmosphere.

Three police cars parked outside the villa, the police set up a barrier, and a group of people surrounded the outside talking about something.

Shi Zhengyang squeezed into the crowd, ready to ask what happened. Mu Lan saw doctors in white coats and masks coming in and out of Professor Liang's villa. Some media reporters were taking pictures outside the house. The man was stopped by the police.

Mu Lan took out her press card and hung it around her neck. She squeezed into the crowd and tried to get closer, but was stopped by a policeman with an unkind expression.

"Photography is prohibited here, journalists please go back."

Two "colleagues" with press cards tried their best to squeeze in despite the police's obstruction. At the same time, their hands were busy, pressing the shutter of the SLR, and the white light of the exposure lamp flashed back and forth.

"Comrade, is this the third death of an archaeologist?"

"Comrade Police."

"Headlines, headlines!"

The reporters were as excited as a group of sharks smelling blood. The scene was a little out of control. A large number of police officers immediately rushed over to stop these excited reporters.

Seeing that Mu Lan had no way to enter the crime scene, she could only join up with her teammates. Shi Zhengyang sighed and said, "It seems we are late. Professor Liang should be dead."

Mu Lan took out the mobile phone in her handbag, opened the browser to check local news, and immediately saw relevant reports.

"The famous professor died strangely, and he was the No. 3 deceased in the Pinglongshan Archaeological Team."

"Curse of death! What kind of secret treasure is buried underground in the mysterious civilization of the ancient Shu Kingdom?"

When I clicked on the news, most of them were speculative descriptions with no nutritional value, and I don’t know how long these news can last. Mu Lan thought about it and became interested in Professor Liang’s life, so she searched for the name Liang Huaiwen.

The search engine in this world has an entry for Liang Huaiwen. He is actually a well-known figure in the academic circle. He has published best-selling historical books. His research direction is the same as that of Professor Chen, which is also a pre-business civilization.

"It's really like a curse!" Shi Zhengyang looked at the news on Mu Lan's phone and said, "Everyone who went down to the tomb has been cursed, and now three people have died and one person is missing, and if we are not chosen by God, we are no different from ordinary people." Also, I'm afraid he's already dead."

"There are two people left, archaeological team members Yu Bin and Wang Chuan." Mu Lan frowned, feeling that time was pressing. These two ordinary people would be killed by ghosts at any time, so she immediately said: "We have to go to the Archaeological Institute as soon as possible. !”

The four left the murder scene quickly, and stopped a taxi. It is now eight o'clock in the evening. If they want to know the clues, they must rush to the destination. drive.

After being persuaded by Mu Lan, Shi Zhengyang leaned back on the passenger seat, looked at the three people crowded in a row in the back seat and said, "It's a pity that we can't exchange for more convenient transportation methods."

Mu Lan knew what Shi Zhengyang meant. There are many vehicles to choose from in the main god system, but in this dungeon, they obviously can't take things that take off directly, which will cause unnecessary trouble for the next mission. What he said should be that This kind of magical teleportation array can achieve the effect of space movement, and it is also very concealed to use, but the evolution points are ridiculously expensive, and it is as solid as a rock, but it is not so rich and powerful.

Three hours later, I arrived at the destination. The Institute of Archeology is located in the branch campus of Southwest University. As soon as I got off the bus, Mu Lan stopped several students to ask for directions, and then the four trotted to the dormitory where the two archaeologists lived.

It was already very dark, there were no stars tonight, and the dormitory building was completely dark. Only one room on the second floor had the light on, which was particularly conspicuous.

Mu Lan knew that all the staff of the Institute of Archeology had been on vacation after such a thing happened. Only Wang Chuan and Yu Bin and a few staff on duty stayed here. The room on the second floor was probably their dormitory.

As soon as she entered the dormitory, she felt the familiar biting chill, cold and full of resentment. Mu Lan became alert and released the spell [Saar's Shield], and the wind element in her hand condensed into shape.

"Ah ah ah ah ah!"

A shrill and fear-filled cry rang out, echoing in the empty dormitory building. Mu Lan glanced at Shi Zhengyang, felt bad, and immediately ran to the second floor.
