“Something’s not right!”
“How can there be a supply and marketing cooperative in this mountain village? Didn’t those cooperatives all disappear 20 or 30 years ago?”
Professor Sun furrowed his brows, his face filled with confusion as he spoke.
Zhang Bo Yu said, “Teacher, maybe this place is just really remote. I’ve heard that some remote places still have supply and marketing cooperatives.”
Professor Sun shook his head and asked Zhang Bo Yu to call Captain Xing.
Two hours ago, after hearing the name of the village Wu San Sheng and the others were going to, Captain Xing had hung up the phone and dedicated himself to finding the location of the village.
The phone rang soon after.
“Captain Xing, did you find the location of Qian Er Zhuang? I keep feeling like I’ve heard the name of this village before.”
Professor Sun spoke, his voice tinged with impatience.
Captain Xing replied, “I’ve found the location of Qian Er Zhuang. It’s in the western part of Lu Dong province! But, strangely enough, we found some photos, and through satellite imagery, we saw a map of the houses in Qian Er Zhuang. It doesn’t match the village we saw in the live stream!”
Professor Sun’s brows furrowed, but his thoughts became clear instantly.
However, there was still something he didn’t understand, so he said, “Bo Yu, send a message to Dilireba. Tell her to ask what year it is.”
“Teacher, do you suspect that Reba is in a different era than us?”
Zhang Bo Yu asked in bewilderment.
Professor Sun nodded, “Yes.”
Zhang Bo Yu hurriedly sent a message.
Soon, Dilireba followed the message and asked the shopkeeper what year it was.
The shopkeeper looked at Dilireba with a strange expression, “Girl, it’s 2003. What’s wrong with you?”
Hearing that it was 2003, Dilireba froze!
She had actually time-travelled to 2003!
Twenty years ago!
No way!
Dilireba quickly looked around at the architectural style.
Mud brick houses, no red brick, no modern appliances!
At first, she thought it was just because the mountain village was so remote that it lacked modern appliances!
But now, it was actually 2003!
No wonder Zhang Lin and the others didn’t recognize her!
“Oh, oh, thank you, shopkeeper!”
Dilireba regained her composure, thanked the shopkeeper, and quickly returned to her room, her expression dazed.
At the same time.
The entire live stream exploded.
“Damn! It’s really time travel!”
“The truth is out! It turns out she time-travelled twenty years ago!”
“Twenty years ago, what a distant era!”
“No wonder the little brother and the others don’t recognize Reba, it’s because it’s twenty years ago!”
“Oh no, what if Reba can’t come back?”
“What do we do now?”
The fans buzzed with discussion.
Before, they had speculated that Dilireba might have time-travelled.
But they all thought that she had travelled to another world.
They never expected that she would time-travel twenty years into the past!
Now that the truth was out, it naturally caused quite a stir.
“As expected!”
Professor Sun said in disbelief, “I can’t believe that time travel really exists, and that she even travelled twenty years into the past! I finally understand why Qian Er Zhuang feels so familiar!”
Zhang Bo Yu asked in confusion, “Teacher, have you been to Qian Er Zhuang?”
Professor Sun shook his head, “Not personally, but my teacher did! Over twenty years ago, I was only in my thirties, my teacher Professor Chen led a team to Qian Er Zhuang to search for a Warring States tomb in the surrounding area.”
“But after they entered the tomb, they never came back. They only sent back some vague telegrams. I don’t know what happened inside.”
“At the time, I was just a regular archaeology student, and I didn’t have access to the real secrets. After that incident, the dean held a meeting, and finally issued an order: all members of the Xia Guo Archaeological Association are forbidden to approach the Warring States tomb!”
“From then on, the tomb was declared a forbidden zone, and no archaeologist was allowed to approach it. Otherwise, they would have their archaeological qualifications revoked!”
Hearing this, Zhang Bo Yu and Captain Xing were both astonished.
They didn’t expect this tomb to have such a secret.
Professor Sun said, “From the timeline, it seems that they are currently five years after the disappearance of my teacher Professor Chen.”
Pausing for a moment, Professor Sun continued, “Before, I wanted to let Dilireba follow them into the tomb, but now it seems like I have to warn her. No matter what, she needs to stop Zhang Lin and the others from entering the tomb. Otherwise…they will all die in there!”
Hearing this, Zhang Bo Yu and Captain Xing felt a chill run down their spines.
Zhang Bo Yu swallowed hard, then said, “Then, Teacher, should I tell Reba now?”
“Yes!”
Professor Sun nodded.
Zhang Bo Yu didn’t waste any time, and quickly sent a message: “Reba, I’m Zhang Bo Yu, a student at the Archaeology Institute. My teacher, Professor Sun, is right here. Based on some information, we have confirmed that the tomb Zhang Lin and the others want to enter is extremely dangerous. It’s a forbidden area designated by the Archaeology Institute. Twenty-five years ago, an archaeology team entered there and never came out. You must not go in!”
This message was sent as a top-level comment with a donation attached.
It immediately caused a huge sensation in the live stream!
