39: Kun Kun, you are so lucky! (10/10, wishing for everything)

As Professor Wang spoke, he pulled out disinfectant wipes from his drawer and wiped the clean, tidy desk once more.

“You old fossil, you nag me every single time you see me.”

Professor Han was long since used to this, but he continued to go his own way, not changing a bit.

Standing nearby, Xiao Song found these two old professors quite amusing.

One was slovenly while the other was neat and tidy with a severe case of mysophobia; he really didn't know how these two professors became friends.

“Alright, what are you doing here at my place instead of sleeping this late?”

“Don't say you want to drink; I don't have time right now. Let's talk in a few days.”

Professor Wang sat in his chair, asking while wiping the table.

“Of course I'm not here to drink with you. I have something to ask. How deep is your understanding of Corpse Beetles?”

Professor Han asked with a serious expression.

“Not very deep. I once handed these Corpse Beetles over to the former Dean of the School of Biology, Dean Bai. As for the research results, I'm not very clear.”

“Back then, these Corpse Beetles cost many of my team members their lives. Why are you asking about this?”

After Professor Wang finished speaking, he looked at him with a frown.

“Take a look at this.”

Professor Han handed him his phone, playing the footage of Ye Bai and the others encountering the Corpse Beetles.

First was the pursuit by the Corpse Beetles, then Ye Bai explaining their characteristics, and finally, Ye Bai using the blood on his hand to scare the Corpse Beetles away!

When Professor Wang saw the scene before him, his eyes widened in disbelief.

“Corpse Beetles?”

“Who is this young man? How did he manage to repel those Corpse Beetles with blood?”

Professor Wang pointed at Ye Bai in the Live Stream Room in shock.

“Set that question aside for a moment. Let me show you another video.”

Professor Han played the footage of Ye Bai dealing with the female ghost.

Then, that 'hehehe' sound was heard.

“Look at this Female Corpse...” Before Professor Han could finish, he saw Professor Wang hurriedly make a gesture to interrupt him.

He replayed the segment where Ye Bai made those 'hehe' sounds.

Xiao Song and Professor Han were a bit bewildered, looking at Professor Wang without understanding.

The next second!

The 'hehe' sound echoed throughout the office.

The more Professor Wang listened, the wider the smile on his face became, and his breathing began to quicken.

“Corpse Language! This is the Corpse Language that has been lost for many years!!”

“This young man is far more important than Corpse Beetles or Female Corpses. This is the true treasure of the archaeology world!!”

“Quick, tell me this young man's details, and what program is this?”

Professor Wang stared intently at Professor Han and Xiao Song.

The master and disciple glanced at each other, reading confusion in each other's eyes.

They were both stunned.

He knew Ye Bai was a treasure, but how was he a treasure of the archaeology world?

“Old Wang, what are you saying?”

“How is this Ye Bai important? What did he do that makes you think he's so important?”

Professor Han truly didn't understand what was going on.

Previously, when he saw the Corpse Beetles, it was because he said they existed within burial mounds, as only those conditions met the survival requirements for Corpse Beetles.

That's why he came here to ask him. Later, when they encountered the female ghost, he could tell from her clothes that it was ancient attire. For ancient clothing, Old Wang was the best encyclopedia, so asking him was the most effective.

Who knew he didn't look at what he should have, looked at what he shouldn't have, and even developed an interest in Ye Bai.

“Old Han, you don't know. I once found an ancient book in an Ancient Tomb that recorded a skill—Corpse Language!”

“It's a talent that allows communication with corpses. When I saw this record, I thought it was miraculous.”

“Miraculous, fantastical, even eerie!”

“I thought this ability was gone, even lost to history, but this young man can actually communicate with corpses. I'm certain this is Corpse Language; I couldn't have misheard it.”

“If he joins our Archaeology Academy, it will be of immense benefit when I enter burial mounds in the future!!”

Professor Wang spoke with great excitement.

Upon hearing this, Professor Han and Xiao Song both sucked in a cold breath, their eyes widening twofold.

Communicating with corpses? The sounds he made before were for communicating with a corpse?

Is this a college student?

How does he know this skill?

This is simply impossible!!

“Old Han, do you have this young man's contact information?”

Professor Wang looked at Professor Han excitedly.

“Bah! I don't, and even if I did, I wouldn't give it to you. I let you look at the Corpse Beetles, not to have you come and snatch people from me. What do you mean Ye Bai is a treasure of your Archaeology Academy? He's also a treasure of my School of Biology.”

Professor Han refused without thinking and looked at him with some indignation.

“Corpse Beetles?” Professor Wang was reminded by Professor Han and suddenly remembered.

So he watched the replay again. The matter of the Corpse Beetles and the Female Corpse were both taken in by his eyes. He saw the Corpse Beetles coming out from inside the corpse, and the clothing on that female ghost... “Corpse Beetles only exist in burial mounds. How could they appear inside the Forbidden Ground? Moreover, that Corpse Beetle's toxin is very powerful. That girl was bitten; will she die from the poison?”

Seeing Reba get bitten, Professor Wang looked at Professor Han with great regret.

“No, she was saved. The one who saved her was Ye Bai.” Professor Han shook his head and hurriedly explained the process.

In truth, he didn't know why Ye Bai's blood was so powerful, but that was how things happened.

Hearing that Ye Bai's blood saved the girl, Professor Wang's eyes rounded. Was Ye Bai really that miraculous? He saved the girl using blood?

But on second thought... if it were blood detoxifying... the possibility wasn't high, otherwise his team members wouldn't have died... After pondering for a long while, Professor Wang spoke slowly.

“Perhaps it was the credit of an Antidote. Saving people with blood... that's hard to believe.” Professor Wang felt Professor Han's explanation was impossible. He then looked at the female ghost's clothes. “The style of this female ghost's clothes looks very much like it's from a thousand years ago, but I can't be certain for the time being.”

“The Forbidden Ground has been there for so many years; it's normal even if there's a Female Corpse. But the Corpse Beetles...”

The more Professor Wang thought, the more he felt something was wrong. Could this Forbidden Ground actually contain a burial mound?

These Corpse Beetles didn't just emerge out of nowhere, unless someone did this intentionally... Professor Wang's face suddenly filled with solemnity and shock.

No!

Something isn't right about this!

“Old Han, I have things to do. I'm heading out first. You and Xiao Song go back. I'll treat you to a drink later.”

As Professor Wang spoke, he left the office.

He had two things to do now: first, check the overall map of the Forbidden Ground, and second, investigate Ye Bai's background.

He didn't plan to tell Professor Han about investigating Ye Bai.

If he knew he was investigating Ye Bai, he might try to stop him... Ye Bai was a talent, and he wasn't going to let anyone snatch him away... Inside the Forbidden Ground.

“Kun Kun, you really are lucky!”
