He was not a professional tomb raider, nor did he understand anything about feng shui secrets. The chances of him opening the tomb door by himself were almost nonexistent. Rather than starving or dying of thirst in this place, it would be better to find someone to share the burden with, even if that person was a ghost; at worst, she could just die again!
This was not the best plan, but if there was a chance to escape, that would be the optimal choice. Wang Zhao softened his tone and continued negotiating with the female ghost.
"You see, you can't do anything to me! Why not just let me go? If I’m in a good mood, I might even help you fulfill your wish. Once your wish is granted, you can escape this endless cycle. What do you think?"
The head of the female corpse was covered in blood, and it was hard to tell what expression she had now. Slowly, she descended to a height where she could almost meet Wang Zhao's gaze.
Seeing this as an opportunity, Wang Zhao immediately pressed on. "Look, being trapped here doesn't make sense for you either. Why not help me out? I, Wang Zhao, am a man of my word. If you help me escape, I will help you achieve your wish. If I can't help you myself, I'll find someone skilled in the arts to assist you. How does that sound?"
After speaking, Wang Zhao looked up at the ghost's head. "Oh my god, get back! Stay away from me!"
Since the ghost's head was floating at eye level and so close, Wang Zhao could see it clearly and nearly scared himself half to death.
"Speak up quickly before I change my mind!" he urged, feeling his hair stand on end; he truly did not want to share space with such a bloody head.
"Who are you? What is your wish? Just tell me!"
The floating female corpse seemed to understand and retreated slightly before beginning to speak slowly. "Then I'll trust you this once! I was the concubine of a general who adored me during his lifetime. That led to jealousy from his wife. Whenever the general went off to battle, she would humiliate me at home—beating and starving me was already a daily routine. She even made me strip naked and crawl in front of the servants! I thought if I endured long enough, I could stay with the general forever. But when he went off to battle again, what awaited me was his corpse! Wuwuwu!"
As she recounted her past, her voice lost some of its sharpness.
Wang Zhao sighed; he hadn't expected her to be such a pitiful person.
"On the day of the general's burial, his wife found a sorcerer—not only to help the general ascend but also to torment me by trapping me in this tomb for eternity. She knew how much the general loved me; placing me here wasn’t out of kindness. She ordered my head to be severed and placed in two different locations. Even in death, she wouldn’t let me have any dignity; she thought this would make the general despise me! But little did she know, the general's soul did not return home; it remained on the battlefield."
Seeing that his flashlight was about to die and not wanting to listen to her lengthy tale any longer, Wang Zhao cut straight to the point. "So what can I do for you? Just tell me!"
Actually, it’s not difficult to help me. You just need to find my bones in the tomb next door, carry them out along with my head, and bury them somewhere!
Is it really that simple?
This was something Wang Zhao had not anticipated; it was far simpler than he had imagined.
Just that simple!
Alright, I agree to your request!
Upon hearing Wang Zhao's response, the female ghost seemed pleasantly surprised, her head swaying from side to side as the flow of blood noticeably slowed.
Um, you can take the jewelry from this tomb; it has nothing to do with me!
If she could break free from the formation and reincarnate, why would she care about these things?
Then we have reached an agreement. Just wait while I tidy up a bit!
Wang Zhao slung his backpack over his shoulder and picked up both Wang Mang's and Heizi's bags as well.
He had wanted to take more, but unfortunately, he would have to carry the female ghost's bones soon, so he could only manage this much for now.
After all, he didn’t want to come back to this haunted place; it was too easy to have nightmares here!
