Zhou Lin watched these people from the Sakura Country. Without the incitement from the well, they were much quieter. If it had been this effective earlier, he shouldn't have saved the person from the well; it would have been better if they had died sooner.
"What is this guy doing? Why is he opening the door?"
Huo Qi began to worry. Could it be that inside...
"Do I even need to ask? Of course, it's dangerous. He's waiting for us to walk right into it."
Seeing Huo Qi's words, Zhou Lin immediately replied without thinking.
"Huh? Then are we still going to buy it?"
The Professor of Metaphysics hesitated.
"Of course, we're going. Are you going back? This High Priest is directly telling us, either go back, or be prepared to die. He's giving us a warning."
Zhou Lin said casually.
Seeing Zhou Lin's indifferent demeanor, everyone couldn't help but feel speechless.
Is this really okay for you to do? Isn't this a bit too ostentatious?
Inside the live stream.
"I clearly feel that the big shot is right, but why do I feel that the big shot is a bit too casual?"
"It seems to be right, but this response, why do I feel so strange?"
"Uh... how should I put it? But there's nothing wrong with saying it this way, it's just the tone that's off. Is this like knowing there are tigers in the mountains but still walking towards them?"
"Otherwise? The curse isn't resolved? The tomb isn't explored? History isn't excavated?"
...
In the Dean's conference room.
"Don't say it, this High Priest is really calculating. He's openly telling you that if you come in, you'll be waiting to die, and if you don't, you'll be kicked out and still die. Anyway, the curse is already upon you, and if it's not resolved, you'll die."
Professor Wen saw it very clearly.
"No matter what, we have to go. Zhou Lin's decision is beyond doubt and can't be faulted."
The Dean said firmly.
Inside the tomb.
Zhou Lin saw everyone waiting for his news and took the lead in walking in.
Behind the stone door was a large side chamber. Above was a small corridor, and beyond that was the widest area.
There were also some carvings on the walls. The moment Qin Mo stepped in, the oil lamps above were lit.
They were carved with many terrifying scenes.
Zhou Lin carefully observed the carvings above, watching with great interest.
The mercenaries and students behind him also came in, just in time to see this scene.
There were many women carved on them, and many men. These men were ravaging these girls.
The painting below showed these girls submerged in a jar, with many snakes crawling inside.
Finally, there were various tortures, all of which these girls had to endure.
The last one showed a group of girls sacrificed for an unknown reason, lying on the ground with pained expressions.
On the faces of these women, there was terror, fear, and hatred.
"Why do these look so strange? What did these girls do? Why were they treated like this?"
Professor Huo Qi looked at this scene, feeling that it resembled a hell.
"This is the most basic course of witchcraft. To become a High Priest, one must endure hardship. These are all things they must go through."
Zuo Lin, standing beside him, quickly explained.
"Oh? You know?"
Zhou Lin raised his eyebrows slightly and asked tentatively.
"The Anbei family requires this when recruiting female witches, but it's not as cruel as this."
Zuo Lin had heard it by chance. It was told to him by the person from the well. He had indeed considered sending his daughter to the Anbei family back then, but after knowing these details.
He abandoned that idea.
Instead, he sent his son to the Anbei family.
"Oh? Are all your witchcraft families so inhumane? How strange, it's truly tragic to be a woman of your Anbei family."
Huo Qi couldn't help but mock Zuo Lin.
Zuo Lin heard this and was about to retort, but seeing Zhou Lin's expression, he could only swallow the words in his mouth.
"Good girls were ruined by them, are you even human?"
The Professor of Metaphysics couldn't help but get angry.
"Only after virginity is broken can one better temper themselves. Moreover... only after losing virginity can one cultivate witchcraft and better absorb yin from yang. This is stipulated by the rules of the Anbei family."
Zuo Lin also felt that he didn't know how to explain this situation.
"It's not just virginity, but also the tempering of the body. These people were all tempered. Finally, there was a very painful poison. Whoever could endure it the longest would be the final High Priest."
Zhou Lin looked at the wall, and an idea popped into his mind.
Could the things carved here be a reminder to her?
Zhou Lin fell into contemplation.
Inside the live stream at this moment.
"Holy crap, the success of witchcraft requires such a price, and it also needs..."
"No, it's understandable in ancient times, even if it's foolish, but does the Sakura Country in this new society still have such traditions? I'm truly impressed."
"Don't people from your Sakura Country have an explanation? Good girls were just casually harmed like this? Are you even human?"
"Don't drag others in. According to the requirements of witchcraft, it's not our requirement. How can you say that?"
"Exactly, don't you, Great Xia, make things up out of thin air and look for trouble."
"We are not making things up out of thin air. It was your own people who said it. Could this Anbei family be some kind of cult? No, right?"
"Their country isn't much better either. A family like this can be called a leader of the Sakura Country, truly not good. The entire nation is also not good."
...
Inside the tomb.
"But this is very strange. Why didn't we see it before?"
Huo Qi felt something was wrong. They had seen the High Priest in a position of power, not a fallen one.
But here, it was such a side. What was going on?
"This is a form of vigilance, constantly reminding her of what she has been through. Witches are similar to Taoist priests; they also emphasize a calm mind. If the mind is chaotic, what do you think will happen?"
Zhou Lin chuckled as he heard this and looked at Huo Qi.
Huo Qi felt that this was not a good outcome.
"The High Priest is a sacred profession in the eyes of outsiders, but in the eyes of the High Priest, it is a path of no return."
After saying this, Zhou Lin began to survey the surrounding environment and stepped forward to approach the inner area.
However, the students beside him were still staring at these paintings related to the High Priest.
Several students were staring intently when they saw the faces of the girls in the wall murals suddenly move.
