93: Burn, terracotta warriors!
She wanted to hide behind Ye Bai, but he was currently inside those terracotta figurines, and she didn't dare to go in, so she could only choose Wu Jing.
Wu Jing's expression was not much better at this moment.
His gaze was filled with a hint of terror as he looked at the furry thing on the ground.
It was a head, a man's head. The complexion of the head had been soaked until it was pale white, and a strange, eerie smile still hung on its face, along with those eyes...
Those eyes were entirely white; not a single pupil could be seen.
At this moment, it was sweeping across the people in front of it one by one, and the smile at the corners of its mouth grew wider and wider.
Wu Jing and Yang Mi felt their entire bodies go numb; they felt as if their hair was standing on end. Their lips trembled, yet they couldn't utter a single word. As for their throats, they only felt that suffocating sensation returning once again.
The incessant chatter of Zhang Dada and Cai Xukun came to an abrupt halt, and they stared at the head on the ground in terror.
The entire side chamber fell into silence.
The atmosphere became heavy at that moment.
After seeing this scene, the bullet comments in the Live Stream Room froze in unison.
【 Aaaah!! What is this thing? A head? 】
【 What is this thing? Why is there a head inside this jar? And this head looks like that, damn it!! Damn it!! 】
【 Damn it! You scared me to death! What is going on? How did a human head suddenly appear? And that eerie smile!! Damn it! Every time I close my eyes, I see that eerie smile!! 】
【 What kind of place is this? Why is it so eerie? It's one thing to have these mud dolls, but why is there this thing inside the jar? Are they soaking heads in alcohol like ginseng? 】
【 My Lulu is scared to death, her face has gone pale, it really breaks my heart. 】
The audience's bullet comments were still flashing across the screen in unison.
They expressed deep terror and fear regarding this head that had suddenly appeared.
Just when they hadn't figured out what this was, Ye Bai had already begun to take action.
He smashed the remaining jars, and several heads rolled out from inside.
But he didn't even look at them, walking straight up to Reba, "Fire!"
Yang Mi's terrified gaze shifted from that head to Ye Bai's face.
"Ye Bai!"
Yang Mi still wanted to speak, but seeing the persistence in Ye Bai's eyes, she swallowed the rest of her words...
After a long silence, she finally handed the lighter she was carrying to Ye Bai.
She knew what Ye Bai meant; once this flame was ignited and the historical artifacts were destroyed, she would be the biggest accomplice.
Her career and future might be ruined, and she might even face imprisonment.
But she... was willing to go crazy with Ye Bai!!
After taking it, Ye Bai ignited the mucus on the ground.
Boom!
The flames instantly ignited the mucus, and in just a split second, the side chamber was swallowed by the raging fire, the searing heat instantly sweeping through the entire space.
Yang Mi and Reba felt their faces being scorched uncomfortably by the fire and instinctively retreated backward.
They retreated directly to the doorway.
Within the scorching heat, there were many shrill screams, and these screams were different from the sounds the terracotta figurines had made before; these were the screams of humans in extreme agony, sounds that made one's heart ache.
"Ah..."
"Don't!"
"Don't burn me to death!!!"
These sounds emanated directly from the side chamber, making Zhang Dada and Cai Xukun's legs tremble as they listened.
It was unclear if they were trembling because of the screams, or because Ye Bai had set fire to the artifacts and they might face immense trouble, which was why their legs were shaking.
In any case, their complexions were not looking very good.
Meanwhile, the audience in the Live Stream Room was dumbfounded once again.
The bullet comments were blank for a moment, and the next second... the bullet comments flashed with unprecedented intensity.
【 Damn! No way! He just set it on fire? Damn it! Those are artifacts!! 】
【 Those are historical artifacts in there! Just like that, burned? Those were the things the Archaeology Academy specifically requested to be kept, and he just set them on fire? 】
【 Is Ye Bai crazy? He has completely ruined Da Mimi; it's not just him who's in trouble now, Da Mimi won't be able to escape either. 】
【 Oh my! This is destroying artifacts! I thought he was just talking before, I didn't expect him to actually do it. This is a huge deal!! 】
【 My Da Mimi! It's over now, it's really over. Didn't they say to wait until Professor Wang and the others arrived to handle it? To leave it to the Archaeological Team to deal with? 】
【 This is bad! Will I be able to see the Great One eating prison food in a little while? 】
【 Is he crazy? Why set a fire? The Archaeological Team said they would handle it themselves!! Why? 】
After seeing this scene, the fans' bullet comments were flashing in unison.
It wasn't just the audience who were shocked; the archaeology professors watching the live stream were as well.
All of their eyes were wide open, their pupils reflecting the fiery red color.
But their minds were blank, and they only had one thought right now.
That was, it's over! It's all over!!
So many historical artifacts! So many terracotta figurines! So much technology from the Yelang Kingdom... now all swallowed by the raging fire.
The professors only felt a tightness in their chests.
"My artifacts! My history!!"
"Ye Bai! You lunatic, these are our historical artifacts!!!"
"Aaaah!! I'm so furious! These artifacts were so hard to find, and now they're all gone."
Many professors were furious at this moment, almost slamming their hands on the table and standing up.
One professor took the lead, and the rest of the professors followed suit.
They were all filled with righteous indignation; the fondness they had felt for Ye Bai before had now turned into rage. They felt that this Ye Bai was truly going too far.
Only one professor was staring intently at the Live Stream Room.
A smile played on the corners of his mouth.
He then looked at Professor Tang, who was shouting the most excitedly beside him...
"Professor Tang, why are you so excited?"
That professor looked at him with a slight smile.
"I say, Professor Guo, how can you still smile? These are our historical artifacts! Destroyed just like that, don't you feel any heartache?"
"Heartache, yes! But what can be done about it? Do you want to see someone die?"
Professor Guo spread his hands at this moment, looking at him with a chuckle.
"How could people die? Ye Bai had already found a way to control them earlier. As long as we follow his instructions, how could we not control these terracotta figurines?"
Professor Tang said, unwilling to give up.
"And then what? You are here shouting and cursing Ye Bai, and in the end, you still need to use his method? Do we have no shame left? Furthermore, this thing is truly extremely eerie; if you're not careful, death will occur. If you bring it back, can you guarantee the safety of all our professors?"
Professor Guo's words made all the professors who were still in a fit of rage pause in unison.
They all looked at Professor Guo.
"But..."
"Artifacts are important, but human lives are even more important. We cannot sacrifice more people for the sake of artifacts..."
"And..."
