40: Chapter 40 He was actually right!

"If that's the case, then his judgment is highly credible," Fei Erfeng said, carefully observing the content on the ceiling from the screenshot on his phone.

At this moment, Shi Zhishan leaned in and asked dubiously, "Is that true, Elder Fei? This is the ghost cave script that has never truly appeared before. No matter how capable Song Yiqing is, he shouldn't be able to decipher it just by taking one look, right?"

"Wait, let me take a closer look." Fei Erfeng waved his hand, signaling the members of the Archaeological Team to pause for a moment, while he earnestly observed the screenshot in his hand, nodding slightly from time to time.

However, the people in the Archaeological Team behind him were somewhat skeptical.

"That shouldn't be possible. Song Yiqing's strength is indeed very strong, only slightly weaker than Brother Zhang. But the work of translating ancient scripts involves a huge workload. For him to master the method of deciphering it the moment he sees it, that's somewhat like a fantasy."

"That's right. If one were to rely solely on the pictographic nature of the characters, there might be a possibility of a rough translation."

"Even if it were a rough translation, it would absolutely be impossible to do what Song Yiqing did just now—translating it perfectly and directly."

"Could it be that Song Yiqing really faked his credentials?"

As the people at the scene talked, they felt more and more that this possibility was likely.

Xue Xingye also took the opportunity to say quickly, "There's no such thing as possible or impossible. The investigation report is already out, so what is there to hesitate about? Isn't that the truth? Can an investigation report be fake?"

His words instantly attracted everyone's attention. Everyone looked at him in surprise, but no one paid any heed to him.

It was as if they were saying that even if there was a problem, it didn't have much to do with a nepotism hire like him. Their attitude made Xue Xingye feel very uncomfortable.

At this moment, Bai Yao spoke up quickly, "Don't say things like that. I actually think it's possible for Song Yiqing to really do it. Furthermore, don't forget that Song Yiqing is not a simple person! Are there few miracles he has created and incredible things he has done? Even if he could directly translate the ghost cave script, maybe he knew it before? The world is vast, and anything can happen."

Her words left everyone somewhat silent, not knowing how to respond.

After all, there are hidden worlds in this world, and people in those worlds have many extraordinary methods. Perhaps they possess similar magical techniques.

However, at this moment, Yi Menglian spoke up, "Alright, Yaoyao, don't think about these things. Whether it's true or false, Elder Fei will have results soon. There's no need to argue like this. We have all seen Song Yiqing's remarkable nature."

"Mm!" Bai Yao nodded heavily, while Yi Menglian shook her head secretly. She didn't hold much hope that Song Yiqing could really translate the ghost cave script.

After all, they were the professional Archaeological Team; if they couldn't do it, it was obviously unlikely for others to be able to.

But at this moment, Fei Erfeng, who had been studying it for a while, exclaimed, "He really translated it!! That's right. After the Forbidden Land Exploration Official input the content Song Yiqing mentioned into the AI and combined it with the pictographic descriptions of these characters, he was right. This is the Jingjue Kingdom!! And this is very likely the ruling nation that was established in the heart of the Taklamakan Desert and once ruled this region!!"

Shi Zhishan, who was on the side, also looked on in disbelief, "I didn't expect that what Song Yiqing said was actually true. It's actually true."

"Hehehe, truly the student surpasses the master. The younger generation is formidable!" Kang Mo said admiringly, as if he had been appreciative of Song Yiqing from the very beginning.

Now, the other scholars of the Archaeological Team were staring at each other with wide eyes, their faces full of disbelief.

"This... Song Yiqing was actually right?"

"No way? Why is this? Why is Song Yiqing able to achieve this?"

"Wait, I remember he said it was Professor Dong Chengming. Could it be that Professor Dong Chengming had already been studying the ghost cave script for a long time? But why didn't we receive any news about it?"

"It's too strange. This is just too strange."

The people at the scene exclaimed repeatedly. Bai Yao had a smile on her face, and in her heart, she was constantly saying, 'Look at you all, you didn't believe it, and what happened? Facts speak louder than words!'

Even Yi Menglian, who was standing beside her, was full of surprise and disbelief, "He was actually right!"

...

As the Forbidden Land Exploration Official began to issue an official announcement, confirming that the ghost cave script content deciphered by Song Yiqing was correct and valid, special points would be approved and issued.

Once the news came out, it caused another huge uproar online.

#Credentials faked, yet able to instantly decipher ancient scripts!#

#Hope those without faked credentials will also come out and decipher a few ancient scripts!#

#Dong Chengming expelled from Kyoto University of Archaeology!#

#Song Yiqing states ancient language translation was learned from Dong Chengming#

...

Various contents emerged one after another on the Weibo trending searches, and most of them revolved around the Song Yiqing incident.

Dong Chengming, who was packing his things in the office, naturally saw the news. He couldn't help but shake his head, "This kid... is really amazing."

At the same time, Wan Shu, who rushed in hurriedly, glared at him angrily, "Dong Chengming! What are you playing at!! Did you do this on purpose? You just want to take my position! So you deliberately hid your academic achievements?"

"..." Dong Chengming looked at him and was momentarily speechless, so he simply continued packing his things.

But at this moment, Wan Shu stepped forward and pressed down on him, "Dong Chengming, as long as you record a video now stating that this achievement is the joint effort of our Ancient Language Group at Kyoto University of Archaeology, I can decide to let you stay here!"

"Go to hell," Dong Chengming cursed directly, which angered Wan Shu so much that he slammed the door and left on the spot.

...

Meanwhile, on the livestream screen, Song Yiqing and the others had already entered the second floor, only to see a few livestock placed here, and then nothing else.

Immediately after, everyone went up to the third floor, where there were humanoid statues. However, the appearance of these people was quite strange, as if they had suffered some kind of extreme fright and had then completely turned to stone.

Because they looked like people, it inexplicably gathered a terrifying atmosphere.

Walking further up, there was a huge one-eyed statue, and its mouth was split open quite widely, appearing extremely eerie.

But at this moment, Gong Chen could not find the stairs to continue going up, "Strange, what is going on? Why have the stairs disappeared?"

"It's not just the stairs going up that are gone," Wei Zhiyuan looked behind him, "The way back is gone too."
