In front of the iron gate.

Qi Baye watched as the old man stopped halfway through his sentence.

She quickly nudged him.

"Old man, please continue! What happened next?"

"Don't just stand there."

The old man snapped out of his daze, gave an awkward laugh, and said:

"Sorry, I was distracted just now."

"My father and the others accompanied the Japanese boss through the passage for a long time, and finally arrived in front of a huge tomb door."

"The inscription above reads: 'He who enters this gate must abandon all hope.'"

"I still don't understand what that sentence means."

Lieutenant Zhang subconsciously read that sentence aloud.

Although the literal meaning is not difficult to understand, the fact that it was carved on the tomb door is definitely not that simple.

This statement has a deeper meaning.

Qi Mo glanced at the statue behind the iron gate, then thought about what the old man had said, and remained calm.

He felt that the statement was just a charade.

The claim that those who enter this gate must abandon all hope sounds like something a charlatan would say.

[That sounds like something a charlatan would say.]

[Moreover, it's very similar to your style, you charlatan.]

Qi Mo cursed inwardly:

"Get lost. Would I put on such a low-level act and say such pretentious things?"

"I can shock them for centuries by simply revealing a small sun."

The tomb owner was either someone with real skills or a complete charlatan.

However, this also made Qi Mo even more interested in the ancient tombs in the mine.

Perhaps there will be some interesting things in the tomb.

Stop speculating, that ancient tomb isn't anything special.

It's a fragment of a meteorite.

Meteorite fragments.

What's so special about this thing?

There is a large area in both the Queen Mother of the West Palace and Changbai Mountain.

Isn't that something that's everywhere?

Qi Mo remembered that he had stored several small meteorite fragments in the system space.

Immediately, his interest in the ancient tombs beneath the mine diminished by more than half.

This meteorite fragment is different.

Over the course of a thousand years, it has undergone a "mutation".

It releases a special kind of energy that induces hallucinations, drawing people in uncontrollably into its illusions.

If a person cannot wake up from the hallucination, they will die over time.

It's something that's a bit special.

Qi Mo didn't expect that the meteorite could "mutate," and it was somewhat similar to the meteorite at the Bronze Gate.

Now, a thousand years later, what is the current state of the Bronze Gate?

Could that large meteorite be even more special?

He was thinking of going back to Changbai Mountain.

The meteorite at the Bronze Gate is indeed more special.

Moreover, it's even more dangerous inside.

I advise you not to enter casually; you'll die if you do.

Qi Mo raised an eyebrow, his eyes showing no fear, but rather excitement:

"System, don't just say half of what you mean, say the rest too."

"What is the current status of that meteorite?"

[I'll tell you if you're willing to pay 10000000 points.]

Considering you don't have many points right now, I can offer you a loan...

Before the system could finish speaking, Qi Mo interrupted:

"You stupid system, I'll check it myself. You think you can cheat me out of 10000000 points? You're dreaming!"

"Pah!"

He must be crazy to pay 10000000 points.

Moreover, it was paid for with a loan.

Given the system's track record, the increase could be several times, or even ten times.

He might have to pay back hundreds of millions of points in the end.

Wouldn't he be working for the system for free for several years?

Only a fool would fall for that.

At this moment, Master Qi was explaining the meaning of that sentence to Master Zhang and the other two.

Simply put, it's a sentence written by a Western author in a book, related to hell, and it was even written on the gates of hell...

Upon hearing the word "hell," the old man's pupils contracted, and he shouted:

"Hell, this is hell!"

Qi Mo wasn't in the mood to chat idly with the system; he was startled by the old man.

"Fuck your mother! This lousy place can't be hell? Are you out of your mind?"

"If this were hell, you'd be dead already, you idiot!"

He slapped the old man on the head.

The old man gasped, wincing in pain, but the fear in his eyes lessened considerably.

Qi Mo glared at the old man:

"Continue on, what happened inside the ancient tomb when the Japanese boss entered?"

The old man rubbed his head and said seriously:

"My father and the others were left outside by that Japanese boss."

"He only brought his own people in."

"As for what happened after they went inside, my father doesn't know either."

"However, according to my father, about half an hour later, a series of shrill screams came from the ancient tomb."

"Immediately afterwards, the Japanese boss and his men escaped."

"However, only a small number escaped; many died in the ancient tomb."

"My father went up to help the Japanese boss who had fallen and asked him what had happened."

"Before the Japanese boss could explain, streams of black gas began to pour out from inside the tomb."

"Anyone who comes into contact with that black gas will die instantly."

"Upon witnessing this, my father disregarded everything else and turned to flee towards the exit..."

"Upon witnessing this, my father disregarded everything else and turned to flee towards the exit..."

Qi Mo didn't listen to what was coming next, but instead pondered what that black gas was.

Could it be the aura of a corpse?

Or is it a highly lethal poison gas?

It seems there are some interesting things inside this ancient tomb...

Soon, the old man finished telling the story.

A deep fear lingered in his eyes.

Deputy Zhang looked at Master Zhang and said:

"Master, could that black gas be the 'tool' the Japanese use to research bacteria and viruses?"

After thinking for a moment, Master Zhang solemnly said:

"It should be."

"We must go to that ancient tomb beneath the mine and find out what those black gases are."

"If possible, try to get rid of those black gases."

"This way, the Japanese can be persuaded to abandon their research on bacteria and viruses."

Upon hearing this, Master Qi, who was standing nearby, gave Master Zhang a thumbs up:

"Buddha, you are truly a good general."

"With people like you protecting our city of Changsha, those Japanese will definitely not be able to cause any trouble."

This act of flattery brought a faint smile to Zhang Dafoye's face.

Sure enough, bringing Lao Ba along did have some use.

However, it seems that not much information has been found out about Qi Mo.

Once we get back, we need to send someone to continue inquiring and find out what this person's purpose was in coming to Changsha.

Thinking of this, Zhang Dafoye glanced at Qi Mo.

Qi Mo noticed the unfriendly gaze and glanced back at Zhang Dafoye.

Why is this family member becoming more and more cunning?

The Zhang family from three thousand years ago was much easier to fool.

By the way, are there any of my followers left in the Zhang family now?
