"Exactly, are you suspecting us? This is slander, there's no proof this was us."
"We're just looking, why are you so nervous? Our Great Xia people know very well what a crime it is to use national treasures, but you're different, you could be doing domestic direct sales."
"These jewelry and ornaments cannot be taken out, they are for collection. You have quite a few collectors, maybe the Anbei family could get their hands on them too?"
"This is slander. Don't say it wasn't us, even if we took them, do you have evidence? Do you dare to search us?"
"You think we still need to search you? This thing won't let you leave alive, take it if you're not afraid of death."
"Exactly, let's see if you can leave alive without the protection of a big shot."
...
Inside the tomb.
"Speak, did any of you touch anything in here?"
Zhou Lin looked at these people and shouted sternly.
But no one spoke, they all lowered their heads, none daring to make a sound.
"I will lead everyone away shortly, but those who took these items cannot leave. Think about whether you want your lives or your money."
Seeing that no one was speaking, Zhou Lin finally played his trump card.
"Professor Zhou Lin, how do you know it was us who did this? Not your people?"
Zuo Lin, seeing Zhou Lin's aggressive questioning and his insistence that it was their people who had touched these things, couldn't stand it.
"Professor Zuo Lin, our people's first lesson is the importance of ancient artifacts and culture. Naturally, we know what these things mean to us."
"If these items are handed over to the state, it is our honor and glory. Who would lose this honor for things that cannot be taken out and cannot be carried away?"
Huo Qi looked at Zuo Lin's questioning and finally spoke slowly.
Zuo Lin's expression darkened as he looked at Huo Qi.
A bad premonition welled up in his heart, but he also held a grudge;
"Did you or did you not touch these things? Take them out immediately, don't shame us, and don't lose your lives."
Zuo Lin cursed angrily, seeing the students' expressions, he knew they had touched something here.
Damn it, I explicitly told them not to, why didn't they listen? Why?
"Professor... I did take a bracelet, but I was examining it and hadn't had time to put it back, so..."
A student produced a jade-green bracelet from their hand, not hidden.
Their expression was still calm, it was truly just a coincidence.
And with the interrogation directed at them, they didn't know whether to take it out or not.
Zuo Lin could understand what the student said.
"Who else?"
Zuo Lin continued to question.
"I was just researching it."
"Me too."
"I just picked it up to look out of curiosity, thinking there were so many, it wouldn't matter..."
"Me too. There are so many things here, and my money was all given to Zhou Lin, so... I had a moment of wicked thought."
The students from the Sakura country, upon hearing about the danger to their lives, quickly spoke up.
Zhou Lin saw that it was the people from the Sakura country who had taken the jewelry and ornaments, and then looked at Zuo Lin.
At this moment, Zuo Lin's face felt like it was burning, as if he had been slapped several times.
"We've given them back now, you can come out," Zhou Lin shouted loudly at the air.
"Hmph, you dare to touch these things, you deserve to die. If you leave your lives, I will consider releasing your souls."
The child's voice suddenly became sinister and angry.
"Professor..."
The students quickly moved closer to Zhou Lin, filled with tension and fear.
Just then—
Breathing sounds and footsteps appeared in the air.
They were approaching their location.
Then, a student from Great Xia's body inexplicably floated up.
"Ah... Professor, save me."
The student's body hung in mid-air, their legs flailing restlessly.
Finally, they were thrown heavily against the white jade wall.
"Pfft... cough cough..."
The student spat out a mouthful of blood, followed by a wave of pain.
Their vision went black, and they fainted.
Such a scene astonished everyone.
Then, they all looked at the air with fear and unease.
"Professor, what's going on? Why can't we see the enemy?"
"How do we fight this? Captain? We can't see them."
"Yes, and it's dangerous."
The mercenaries found themselves in a difficult situation.
"We'll talk about it later."
Captain Zhao was momentarily troubled and decided to wait.
In the livestream.
"Holy crap, what's going on? Is the enemy invisible? Isn't that a death sentence?"
"Exactly, it's all the fault of you Sakura country people. Why did you have to touch these things? Are they yours?"
"Are you all brain-dead? These are thieves, are you international criminals? This is truly sick."
"That's enough! It was a misunderstanding. Besides, if your professor hadn't been constantly exploiting our students, how would this have happened today?"
"Your professor is blinded by money, only caring about money. How dare you accuse others?"
"You thieves dare to talk about us? How many incidents have you caused along the way? Don't you have any self-awareness? Truly shameless. Who would save people for free? Are you that noble? Are you saving people? If you don't have the ability, don't brag."
...
Inside the tomb.
Zhou Lin listened carefully to the footsteps and then drew his Azure Dragon Sword and charged forward.
*Clang—*
The Azure Dragon Sword struck a body, making a *clang* sound.
It was the sound of hard objects colliding.
Zhou Lin was very surprised, but before he could attack again, the footsteps had already disappeared.
He then saw another student being lifted up.
"Fire."
Captain Zhao, seeing the student being lifted, raised his gun and fired.
But when the bullets hit the object, sparks flew, and the student was not seen to be put down.
"Captain, what do we do? If this continues, this student and we are too passive."
The mercenaries beside him said with difficulty.
Seeing the student being thrown out, Zhou Lin instinctively swung his whip.
He managed to save the student.
The student's face was ashen, their legs trembling uncontrollably. This was too terrifying.
"Professor... I can't take it anymore, I'm going to be scared to death, my legs are weak."
The student's voice trembled.
Zhou Lin narrowed his eyes, and an electronic page appeared in his mind.
"Recommend one."
