" My name is Shu Yun," answered the driver from the front as he looked at Song Yan through the rearview mirror. " I was a resident of that village before the tomb was raided by the tomb raiders. I used to live with my family and everything was fine before those effing tomb raiders came knocking at our village, they said they had calculated a bunch of things and have found out that there was a big tomb hidden underground in the mountains at the end of the village, at first no one said anything after all those tomb raiders came with official notices and everything we had no other choice but to let them excavate the mountain and open the horror that was hiding in the tomb. If only we knew then we would\'ve never allowed them to even go near the mountain to excavate that horrendous tomb."

" Did something horrible happen in the village after the tomb was opened?" asked Song Yan acting as if she was really a clueless tourist who had no idea about what she was talking about.

" Horrible? It was far worse than just being horrible," said the driver as he shook his head and released a tired sigh. " That tomb was hidden deep, with just one glimpse you can see that no one wanted to find it but those damn raiders ignored the signs and straight up dug the entire thing up. After that it was as if someone had cast a curse on the village, first, we faced a severe drought and then came a round of plague, I lost my parents one by one because of those disasters. And what was even more surprising was that it only seemed to be happening to our village, other than that everywhere else was fine—— we didn\'t understand anything at first but then …."

He sucked in a breath and released it dramatically before continuing, " But then the villagers started to vanish one by one, no one knew what was going on, we just knew one thing and that was something out of our control was happening —— the villagers who vanished from the village were later found inside the tomb lying next to the graves of the imperial family, their body dried and shrivelled up, many said that it was the job of some sort of vampire but I don\'t believe that."

" Why not?" asked Song Yan as she looked at the driver, who was almost trembling from just the mere attempt of talking about the tomb. When she asked this question to him, he squeaked and then turned to look left and right before he lowered his voice and whispered, " Because the corpses weren\'t dried of blood, it did seem as if someone had sucked up their life from their body but their veins were full of blood, one of our villagers made a mistake while carrying one of the corpses and when it knocked on a stone, it started to bleed. If those corpses were sucked of blood how will they bleed, meaning they were completely fine but somehow they were dead."

The driver clenched his fingers around the steering wheel and then looked at Song Yan. " After that, I decided that I had enough, I packed my bags and left the village, to me ——my life was much more precious. That is why I am telling you not to go to that village, especially when at the night, don\'t go out in the village and don\'t even think about the tomb, or it will call to you."

Fu Yu Shen was so scared that he immediately started regretting listening to the driver\'s tales, why did he even bother? He should have just turned a blind and ignored everything. Song Yan, on the other hand, was visibly calm she didn\'t say anything instead she looked outside the window, seeing that he wasn\'t able to dissuade the young woman from going to the Qili village, the driver shook his head and stomped on the gas.

As promised when they reached the entrance of the Qili Village, the driver stopped the car and asked Song Yan and Fu Yu Shen to get off, as soon as they got off Fu Yu Shen was already feeling queasy but when he noticed that the sky here at the village was dimmer than it was in the city and the temperature too seemed to be a lot lower, he immediately felt a shiver crawl up his spine as he looked at the driver and asked with slight stuttering, " M…Mister, why is this place…so dark?"

The driver raised his head from the bills that he was counting and looked at Fu Yu Shen before answering, " It has been like this ever since the gate of the tomb was opened by the raiders. That is why I asked you not to come here."

Fu Yu Shen was feeling jumpy already and when he heard the driver say that the sky of this village was naturally darker and colder than it was in the city, he felt his legs were going to turn into jello as he turned to Song Yan and said, " Second sister in law, I am willing to be your dog all life but just get out of here, please."
