He glanced between Ji Jing and the doll in panic.

Entering just like that? Open the door directly? The doll looked so smooth that those who didn’t know better would think that it was the door to the room.

Ji Jing was amused by him.” Huaimeng isn’t an ancient emperor. Why would he put mercury inside?”

“Guard, guard against grave robbers! Wasn’t that the case? Perhaps there were other grave robbers who came before we left.” Ji Ying explained.

“Anti-theft?” Wawa smiled.” My tomb isn’t dead. Why do I need to guard against thieves?”

As it spoke, it placed its hand on the door and injected surging power into it.

What did he mean by…Not dead? Was it still alive?

He couldn’t think about it carefully, but Ji Ying felt like he had really transmigrated to another world.

“Ka ka ka…”

The sound of a mechanism turning came from inside the door.

There really was a trap? Ji Ying nervously watched as the heavy door slowly opened to both sides.

However, what was even more terrifying than the traps and mercury they had imagined was that there was a slightly bowed figure behind the door looking at them. It was like a servant waiting for the return of his master.

“This, this…” Ji Ying pointed at the “person” in front of him, speechless.

“It’s a puppet.” Ji Jing saw through the figure’s physical form with a single glance.” Don’t panic.”

The puppet slowly raised its hand, and Ji Jing saw that it was holding an oil lamp.

“You, you said not to panic, but this, he, he moved!” For a moment, Ji Ying was so nervous that he stuttered.

“So what if I moved? I can move too.” ” It’s just an ordinary puppet,” the doll comforted helplessly.” You’ll know when you take a closer look later.”

“Phew- ”

Suddenly, an orange light shone from Ji Jing’s hand.

It was Ji Jing who lit the lighter.” The fire hasn’t gone out. There’s still enough oxygen. ”

With that, she brought the torch closer to the lamp in the puppet’s hand and lit it up with a click.

Then, Ji Ying saw a scene that he could not forget for a long time.

‘ Slash!” It was the sound of flames burning.

The flame came from the lamp in the puppet’s hand and went straight to the lamp that had been set up in advance but had not been used for many years. Lights, wall lamps…The candles in the tomb lit up one after another, illuminating the dark tomb in an instant.

Only then did Ji Ying realize that the human-like doll at the door was really just an ordinary existence.

There were even more in the tomb.

There was someone wiping the table beside the desk, pouring tea beside the coffee table, playing chess on both sides of the small table and chair, sweeping the floor with a broom…Every puppet was especially exquisite, and their movements were unusually vivid.

It was like, like…They had really lived here like humans, but the arrival of Ji Jing and the others had frozen them in a certain moment of life.

“As expected of the most famous Puppet Master, Huaimeng.” “If it weren’t for this situation, I would have mistaken these puppets for humans,” Ji Jing sighed.

“This… This…” Ji Ying was tongue-tied. Was this really a puppet?

They were almost wondering if they were going to move and speak in the next second!

The doll was exquisitely made, but anyone who saw it would know that it was just a doll.

People would be surprised at how a doll could move and talk, but these puppets in front of them would make people exclaim in shock. Were they alive?

Was this the meaning of ‘not dead’? Ji Ying suddenly thought that perhaps in the dark tomb, these puppets would really move, and those tomb raiders who tried to barge in would be…

Ji Ying didn’t dare to think about it.

“Hmph, that’s true.” The doll couldn’t help but feel smug.” I did it in my previous life.”

However, for some reason, the doll, who had been hearing these praises and criticisms for a long time, suddenly felt a little hot.

Ji Ying was still sighing in surprise. As he spoke, the doll became more and more helpless.

‘ Alright, alright. Look here. This is what I plan to move out.” The doll walked into the tomb and pointed to a shelf on the right side of the wall..
