As the two individuals conducted their experiment, Elder Tang and Captain Lin also moved closer to the water's edge. Not only was there no reflection in the water, but the flashlight beams also failed to reflect.
Their hearts sank instantly, and everyone's spirits plummeted to freezing point.
The entire space fell silent, save for the occasional drip of water from the stone walls above.
The archaeological team members' hair stood on end, and sweat beaded on their faces as if it were free, starting to fall uncontrollably.
Inside the live stream.
"The scariest thing is the sudden silence, damn it, this look, I'm terrified, what is this? How can there be no shadow?"
"This tomb is more bizarre than bizarre, and those two team members who said they saw a ghost, holy crap, they saw a ghost."
"No, why is this happening? Is there something else in here? Why are all these water pools so strange?"
"Holy crap, it's so scary, this is the first time I've seen a pond without a reflection, I feel like I'm going to die here."
"Big shot, save us, it's haunted!"
Netizens began to seek help from Zhou Lin.
In the dean's conference room.
"This is the first time I've heard of water not having a reflection..."
Professor Wen also found it incomprehensible. What was the principle behind this?
"Congratulations, you've opened your eyes now, you've finally seen it."
Professor Hu looked at Professor Wen and said mockingly without politeness.
"Professor Hu, what time is it? Don't make sarcastic remarks. If something happens later, the entire archaeological team will be in danger."
Another professor quickly added.
"Isn't there Zhou Lin? As long as Zhou Lin is here, nothing will happen, don't worry."
Professor Hu said indifferently. Zhou Lin hadn't spoken from the beginning, so he probably already knew about this.
Upon hearing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, having momentarily forgotten about Zhou Lin.
Zhou Lin would surely know what this was.
The atmosphere in the conference room eased slightly.
Inside the tomb.
Seeing everyone's nervous and fearful expressions, Zhou Lin walked over to the two team members.
"You two, step back."
After speaking, Zhou Lin took out his whip and forcefully struck the water surface, causing splashes.
Then, looking at the water surface, two ghosts appeared, just as the two archaeological team members had seen before.
However, these two ghosts were now back-to-back, leaping out of the water with malevolent and ferocious expressions.
The sudden appearance of the two ghosts startled everyone, and they instinctively retreated a few steps.
"You shouldn't be here."
The woman suddenly spoke, her white clothes beginning to change color to red, like blood-red droplets slowly seeping into the water.
As the blood-red droplets fell into the water, the surface began to bubble with red, blood-red bubbles, churning.
Captain Lin instinctively shielded Professor Lin, the metaphysics professor, and Elder Tang behind him, his weapon still pointed at the ghosts.
As the bubbles increased, many hands began to appear within the red bubbles. Some of these hands were fleshy, while others were not.
There were also bare white bones. The hands, like the princess's neck before, began to lengthen infinitely.
Then, these hands started to extend towards the shore and quickly pulled the mercenaries at the water's edge into the water.
"Cough, cough..."
After entering the water, the mercenaries couldn't help but cough.
Their feet were still tightly controlled by the large hands in the water,
preventing them from surfacing.
"Captain... Captain, save me."
The mercenaries coughed and shouted for help.
Seeing this, Captain Lin quickly took out a rope from his person and threw it towards the mercenaries. However, before the rope could touch the water, it was caught by the hands in the water.
With a strong pull, Captain Lin, caught off guard, was dragged into the water.
"Captain..."
The mercenaries and archaeological team members nearby saw this and were about to rush forward to help.
"Don't come..."
Captain Lin shouted urgently. His legs were then forcefully pressed into the water by the hands, attempting to drown him.
The archaeological team members, Professor Lin, Elder Tang, and the metaphysics professor on the shore also did not escape this fate.
The mercenaries and archaeological team members far from the shore looked at the hands with pale faces.
"No, don't come..."
"Get away, get away."
The archaeological team members were in a panic.
The mercenaries, using their daggers, chopped at the hands, but no matter how many they cut, the hands behind them would immediately pursue them.
It was as if they were determined to drag them into the water.
In just a few minutes, except for Zhou Lin and a few mercenaries, everyone else had fallen into the water and was struggling.
Inside the live stream.
"Oh my god, this is going to be the death of us, what should we do? If we're not killed by these two ghosts, we'll be drowned."
"How can there be hands in the water? And whose hands are these?"
"Holy crap, big shot, save us, this is going to kill us!"
"Hurry up, you're killing me with anxiety, Elder Tang and the others will all die here."
...
Inside the tomb.
Seeing this, Zhou Lin's brow furrowed. He then took out his whip and swung it towards Elder Tang, Professor Lin, and the metaphysics professor.
"Hold on tight."
Zhou Lin shouted. The hands tried to block Zhou Lin's whip, but they could not touch it.
When Professor Lin and Elder Tang heard this, they quickly reached out and grabbed the whip.
The mercenaries and archaeological team members on the side, seeing a glimmer of hope for survival, anxiously reached out and held on.
Zhou Lin forcefully pulled everyone to the shore.
As he pulled them, he saw many hands still tightly gripping them.
Zhou Lin's expression darkened. An electronic page appeared before him, and a system recommendation began.
The "Space Flowing Bead" within it could be used.
"Redeem."
Zhou Lin didn't care about the points.
A transparent bead appeared in the backpack of the electronic page. Zhou Lin quickly took it out and placed it on himself.
Then, he pulled Elder Tang and the others to the shore and jumped into the water himself.
"Cough, cough, cough..."
Elder Tang saw Zhou Lin jump in and was about to speak, but it was too late.
