133: Chapter 133 I am irreconcilably opposed to evil

Often, when the situation remains unchanged, it is the safest time.

However, once some unusual changes occur, danger is not far behind.

This rule of thumb applies here perfectly as well.

In other words, there is a high possibility that some kind of danger exists on the stairs ahead.

Seeing this, Professor Yang immediately halted the Archaeological Team and contacted the Symposium.

Professor Zhou's answer was: "You can proceed, but try to walk along the wall to avoid any accidents!"

After saying this, Professor Zhou looked at Ye Xiao beside him and asked: "Is there anything else to be aware of, Little Ye?"

Ye Xiao: "..."

Professor Zhou seemed completely oblivious to Ye Xiao's gaze.

After a while, Ye Xiao slowly said: "There shouldn't be any danger for now!"

With these words, not only Professor Zhou but also the audience in the Live Stream Room and the Archaeological Team in the tomb were immediately relieved.

The Archaeological Team split into two rows, walking along either side of the stairs, stepping up one by one.

There were twelve tiers of bluestone steps, and they reached the top without encountering any danger.

Everyone immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Once they stood still, the Archaeological Team looked closely, and everyone's eyes suddenly lit up.

By the dim yellow light of the torches, they discovered that the walls of the corridor above the stairs were completely covered in murals!

The archaeologists present were visibly excited, and some could hardly restrain themselves from rushing forward to examine them.

However, at this moment, in the Seminar Hall, Professor Zhou watched the scene before him, his lips curling upward uncontrollably.

But suddenly, Professor Zhou subconsciously glanced at Ye Xiao.

This one glance made Professor Zhou's pupils constrict, and his heart skipped a beat.

Because he saw Ye Xiao suddenly frown!!!

While frowning might be a perfectly normal expression in ordinary circumstances,

it was rather intriguing in this context!

"Could it be... a trap???"

His thoughts raced, and in a split second, Professor Zhou confirmed his suspicion.

He did not hesitate for a second, immediately pressing the button on his headset and saying rapidly: "Stop! Everyone stop! Don't move!"

This urgent shout immediately startled everyone in the tomb.

However, Professor Zhou's voice was filled with such extreme urgency and anxiety that no one dared to move a muscle after hearing it.

Instantly, the members of the Archaeological Team in the tomb stood frozen like wooden statues, as if their feet were nailed to the ground, not daring to budge.

Professor Yang, breaking into a cold sweat, tremblingly pressed his headset button and asked in a shaky voice: "What is it, Old Zhou? Did you find something wrong?"

No sound came from Professor Zhou's headset.

This eerie, terrifying silence made everyone's hair stand on end.

But without Professor Zhou's voice, no one dared to move.

After all, no one knew if their next step would land on a loose bluestone brick.

And that loose brick could be the very trap that would cost them their lives!

No one dared to gamble, nor could they afford to. After all, they only had one life.

Meanwhile, at the Command Headquarters and the Seminar Hall, the many experts present heard Professor Zhou's voice and immediately grew tense.

Some of the more impatient experts had already jumped to their feet, and everyone was staring intently at the Live Stream Room screen, not daring to even blink.

At this moment, the entire hall was silent, save for the sound of breathing.

At this moment, Professor Zhou also looked at Ye Xiao nervously and asked: "Little Ye, what did you find?"

Meanwhile, Ye Xiao had been lost in thought and was taken aback when he suddenly heard this.

He turned his head to look at Professor Zhou in confusion and asked: "Find what? What are you talking about?"

Professor Zhou grew anxious upon hearing this. "Little Ye, this is a matter of life and death! Saving a life is more meritorious than building a seven-story pagoda!"

Professor Zhou's face grew increasingly anxious as he spoke. Yet, his behavior only left Ye Xiao more confused.

"What is going on with Professor Zhou?" Ye Xiao thought to himself, then looked at Professor Zhou again and asked in confusion: "What is it, Professor Zhou? Please just speak your mind!"

Hearing this, Professor Zhou gritted his teeth and glanced around at the experts present.

After a long moment of contemplation, Professor Zhou blinked a few times, then slowly leaned in close to Ye Xiao and whispered: "I saw your expression change just now. Have you been here before, and did you remember that there's some kind of danger here?"

Ye Xiao: "???" Hearing this, Ye Xiao finally understood.

So, his change in expression just now had led Professor Zhou to believe there was danger in this corridor, which was why he didn't dare let the Archaeological Team move.

Professor Zhou had said what he did because he thought Ye Xiao didn't want to expose himself, and thus was afraid to reveal the danger in the tomb passage.

"Good grief, this old man is convinced that I've been to this tomb, isn't he?" Ye Xiao thought to himself.

He turned to look at Professor Zhou again, just about to explain, but Professor Zhou looked left and right, then leaned back into Ye Xiao's ear and whispered: "Don't worry! Even if you are exposed, in light of your guidance, I will ask for credit and a reduced sentence for you!"

Ye Xiao: "..." "What? What on earth are you talking about?"

Ye Xiao was immediately displeased and retorted righteously: "I, Ye Xiao, have always walked with integrity! I would never engage in such underhanded activities!"

"Professor Zhou, please stop with these baseless suspicions. I really am just an ordinary screenwriter!"

Seeing Ye Xiao's serious expression, Professor Zhou couldn't help but be dumbfounded.

The other experts present were a bit confused, but upon hearing Ye Xiao's words, they couldn't help but let a meaningful smile play on their lips.

After a moment, Professor Zhou pondered seriously for a long time, then looked at Ye Xiao again and said: "I naturally believe in your character, Little Ye; you must be an upright and good young man..."

Ye Xiao thought to himself: "That's more like it!"

But then, Professor Zhou asked again: "But when you came here before, were there actually any traps here or not?"

Ye Xiao: "..." Looking at Professor Zhou, Ye Xiao took a deep breath. At the same time, he chanted frantically in his heart: "Respect the elderly, respect the elderly..."

Meanwhile, the audience in the Live Stream Room finally caught on. Instantly, the barrage in the Live Stream Room exploded, and the audience burst into laughter.

"I'm dying of laughter! Someone save me!"

"I can't take it anymore! Is this an archaeological live stream or a comedy show? My stomach hurts from laughing!"

"Hahahaha! I can't take it! I'm laughing until I'm crying!"

"Professor Zhou is absolutely determined not to stop until he gets Ye Dao sent to prison!"

"Tsk, tsk, tsk! 'I am irreconcilable with evil!' Professor Zhou has perfectly interpreted that phrase!"
