Just as I imagined, the ancient tomb was surrounded by some collapsed cracks.

Although there were no buildings around, the surrounding hillsides and some trees were all uprooted and fell around.

And there were cracks everywhere on the ground.

It seemed that the ground would continue to sink at any time, but at this time, the police on both sides patrolled carefully around, fearing that someone would take the opportunity to come and rob the tomb. After all, the cave was too big, and the ground was like a bottomless pit, dark and dense.

It was as if the ground had opened a bloody mouth.

Very scary.

"This is it."

The village head told me, "Some people say that it was because of the appearance of this place that someone accidentally broke into this place and took away the valuables inside, so they suffered the so-called catastrophe and brought an earthquake."

Of course, these are all rumors.

But after these things happened, everyone is still scared.

Here, normal people will never pass by here again.

One person spread ten, ten spread a hundred, and for a while this place seemed to be a very evil place. As early as a few days before the earthquake, some people said that this place was haunted.

A bachelor in the village went up the mountain to collect firewood. When he returned here at night, he found a man waving at him with a lantern. The strange thing was that the man was wearing ancient clothes and had a weird smile.

"Ghost!"

He was so scared that he almost dropped the firewood, and then ran back home in one breath, closed the door tightly, and did not go out for three days.

"Is there really such a weird thing?"

Someone asked.

"I don't know what's going on, this place is really..."

The village head just sighed and said nothing.

"Okay, brother Lin, you just stay here. Thank you for your hard work. Although this job is hard, it is very important for us and the country."

The police officer on the side saluted me.

I smiled and said, "It doesn't matter. I'm in this line of work and I've long been accustomed to life in the wild."

I lived in a tent nearby.

There were three people guarding here with me. One was an archaeologist, but he was just an intern, and the other was an experienced old employee who had worked in a local museum for several years. So the three of us almost had a companion, and one tent was enough.

Since the three of us came here to guard, the rest of the people in Muzi Township have participated in the rescue work and carried it out intensively. Now our task is mainly to guard here, and don't let anything happen until the arrival of the national team or the end of the rescue work.

It looks like a good job.

But at night, there were only three of us, and I was still a little scared when I thought about it. The two of them were naturally not afraid, maybe they just heard about the legends about this place from the legends, and didn't experience some weird things in person, so it wasn't so scary.

During the day, it was okay.

We all patrolled around and participated in the rescue work when we had time, but at night, only the three of us were left to take turns to guard the night.

The young man was called Zhuzi.

The old man was Wang Bo.

The three of us would make a fire at night and patrol around. Everyone took turns to guard the night. If nothing happened, it would be fine, but if something happened, it would be a bad ending.

The next two days were all fine.

But on the third night, things were not so simple.

That night, after dusk, we had some simple meals, and we just talked about some past events.

It was already past eleven o'clock in the middle of the night.

"I'll go on patrol first, you guys take a good rest."

After drinking the last glass of wine, Zhuzi told us to rest first. He would be on duty tonight, and we had no objection. We were a little sleepy.

Maybe it was because I was drunk, I felt dizzy and fell asleep.

Like me, Wang Bo seemed to be unable to drink.

Unconsciously, I woke up.

But I was not woken up by a call, but by a burst of urine.

"At this time..." In a daze, I looked at my watch. It was already past four o'clock in the middle of the night, but I didn't see Zhuzi coming to take over the shift, and Wang Bo seemed to be still sleeping in the tent, snoring.

Where did he go?

I washed my face with cold water and woke up a little. Looking around, there were only some scattered fire spots left on the bonfire.

"Where is he?"

I muttered.

I wanted to shout, but seeing how quiet it was, and my mouth was dry, I didn't shout.

I coughed, and then carefully walked along the place where I patrolled before, hoping to find the pillar, but I found nothing.

There were collapsed trees all around.

There was almost no other way out, and the ground could continue to collapse at any time, especially at night, and I might fall into some gaps, and then I would be helpless.

Did something happen to the pillar?
