An Rugu felt a little emotional. After a long time, she calmed down and talked about why she came here. “Actually, this place has been visited by tomb robbers. The door was broken open and there is no security at all. A team of scholars hope to come in for archaeology. Are you willing to allow them?”

The archaeological team would never have imagined that An Rugu would communicate with the tomb owner in advance when the tomb was discovered.

[What will they be here for?]

The ancients from hundreds of years ago did not understand the meaning of ‘archeology’. As long as people dug into ancestral graves, it was almost 100% tomb robbing.

An Rugu then explained the meaning of archaeology, the content of the team’s work content, and its significance.

The green smoke rose, sometimes forward, sometimes backward, a bit like a person nodding, as if to indicate that she was listening carefully.

After talking for a long time, the green smoke was controlled by invisible hands and formed a new text: [So be it]

An Rugu breathed a sigh of relief after seeing it and understood that the ever-burning lantern was not an unreasonable person and would cooperate with them.

“Is he not here?”

An Rugu didn’t say who this person was, but the two of them understood each other tacitly.

[He has passed on long ago]

Only she did not enter reincarnation because she had too much resentment in her heart and became attached to the ever-burning lamp.

This answer was not surprising to An Rugu at all. Those emperors and princes always built very luxurious tombs, but under normal circumstances, they would not be able to live in them at all.

As soon as a person dies, they would be enticed by yin emissaries to go to the Underworld. If they dared to escape, they would become a wanted fugitive, turn from a good ghost into a sinner, and when captured, they would be sent to hell and imprisoned there. All in all, no matter how wondrous the palace they prepared was, they couldn’t live in it.

At this point, the ever-burning lantern suddenly made a request. Only by fulfilling her demands will she help lift the curse.

An Rugu thought for a while and agreed.

An Rugu re-started the livestream almost as soon as she finished chatting with the other party, and the barrage in the livestream channel was like a flood.

[Host, do you know how worried I have been in these ten minutes? How do you plan to compensate me in return?]

[Plus one, I have already entered the emergency number on my phone, and my heart is in my throat.]

[I’m really curious about what the host was doing secretly behind our backs.]

[You still need to ask? Of course she dealt with the ghost who lit the lamp.]

[Plus one.]

[Add 10086.]

These days, the attitude of people above towards the metaphysics industry was ambiguous. Someone could safely livestream fortune-telling and numerology—which was not very harmful—but if someone exposed the existence of supernatural creatures like ghosts, that person may get banned.

An Rugu blinked her clear eyes and said seriously, “I didn’t do anything, I just investigated why the ever-burning lantern was on. I searched for some information on the Internet. When tomb robbers enter the previously sealed tomb, they allow oxygen to come in, this oxygen would promote the white phosphorus in an ever-burning lantern to spontaneously ignite and light up, making the tomb robbers think that the lantern was always on, and so they would be scared away.”

She avoided the important, only telling information found on the Internet—which was not a lie—and did not say anything about this particular celadon ever-burning lantern.

However, the audience in the live broadcast room did not buy it.

[As if I would believe you, you are a very bad host.]

[There is obviously a loophole in this statement. White phosphorus can only be burned once. The third floor has obviously been visited by tomb robbers before, bringing a lot of oxygen. The lamp should only be lit once, not a second time, and yet…]

“Never mind this.”

She was good at many things but not at lying. She simply changed the subject, walked to the mural with her cell phone, and turned the camera towards it, pointing it to the last mural. “So… do you see the secret behind the mural?”

[What? Isn’t this the story of a couple not separating even at death?]

[Wait a minute, I thought it was a bit weird at first, but it got even weirder when the host said this…]

[I just wanted to say this, did you notice that the two coffins were brought in at the same time? In ancient times, it was important to bury them quickly, which means that two people died within in a short period of time, one after the other.]

[No… If the two of them didn’t get an infectious disease at the same time, it would be too scary to think about it! ! !]

An Rugu lowered her head and glanced at the barrage. Seeing that the audience in the livestream channel had almost guessed it, she took the initiative to say, “Yes, it is as you think—the living person was entombed with the dead.”

As soon as the news came out, millions of people in the livestream channel were in an uproar.

[I thought the two of them loved each other so much that they would be a couple for life, but they turned out to be like this. As long as the wife was dead, there would be no possibility of cheating and the relationship can be renewed underground.]

[Even if they weren’t born in the same year and the same month, they died in the same year and the same month.]

[F*ck, I will never do CP again. Why do I still engage in such bad feudal habits…]

[Those ancient times… better to live in the present.]

[Am I the only one who finds it quite interesting? The man seems to be a yandere. They will live together and die together.]

[? ? ? This is an insult to all yandere, do you want to ask people if they agree? ]

Earlier, when the celadon ever-burning lantern first learned that An Rugu was in contact with people from the outside world, and that people from the outside world thought her relationship with that man was beautiful, she was silent for a long time. This was why she made her request.

She asked An Rugu to tell them about her sacrificial burial. As for the subsequent reaction, the ever-burning lantern didn’t seem to care and didn’t ask anymore.

An Rugu felt that maybe the ever-burning lantern only wanted to reveal the truth and didn’t care about other people’s evaluations.

The ever-burning lantern had such deep grievances and was obviously extremely dissatisfied with the sacrificial burial system, and she really wanted it to be criticized.

She probably never thought that her loving husband would force her to die.
