The Informal Tomb Raiding Diary: She is the occupant of the tomb!-Chapter 302 - 267: Abyssal Dialogue

But from my perspective, life has become simpler and happier, especially when I see the changing numbers in the bank account alert messages, the satisfaction is overwhelming.

I can’t clearly articulate the specific changes after coming out, it’s just that life feels more grounded.

"Watch more cartoons, especially those action mangas. They offer a lot of insights about strength and weaknesses."

"Has your mind been poisoned by those things?"

"Sigh~ Anyway, I’m just an ordinary person now, and I’m very happy living in human society."

"What if the two clans go to war?"

"Don’t kid around, if war breaks out now, our clan might face extinction."

Chen Qinghan had similar worries. He feared that releasing me would bring trouble to human society. If a conflict between the two clans erupted, I might become a threat to humans.

In truth, it’s already quite difficult for our clan to survive to this day. Saying it’s like protecting an endangered species wouldn’t be overstating it. What talk is there of a great war?

On this planet, there are billions of humans. Unless our clan members carry a zombie virus to each country and turn humans into our enemies,

there’s absolutely no chance of victory. A human-shaped killing machine like me would surely be sliced up when dormant.

Zhaosi stopped speaking, the temperature kept dropping. She lacked night vision, so she continued using a flashlight.

Other insects are mostly cold-blooded, their body temperature changes with the environment, but the big white worm is different. It’s like a human; even though the environment temperature keeps dropping, it remains warm.

"Are you sure it’s an insect from that piece of deadwood?" I asked.

"I’m guessing."

"Hmm... Have you ever heard of a curse about me?"

Perhaps my question was too abrupt, Zhaosi was silent for a while, "I’ve heard of it, but I think it’s nonsense. You know some people in the clan are always mystical. None of their so-called prophecies have ever come true."

Indeed, there is a group in our clan who studies mysterious things all day. Supposedly mystical, but actually, they’re just things we don’t understand yet, like fate.

Later, after I was exposed to information from human society, I learned that there is a class of people in human groups who like to study such things. They are usually called fortune-tellers.

I’m not interested in such matters, nor do I believe that the fortune-tellers in our clan can predict the ’cause and effect’ of the Blood Mother.

They have gathered to study for thousands of years, tried countless methods, and still don’t know where our clan came from or where the end lies.

Bi Shi once objectively commented on them: Aggressively calculating like a tiger, only to find they’ve not moved an inch when they look back.

No progress at all.

Hearing that this group of people put a ’curse’ on me, I immediately felt relieved.

It’s just that the number of unexpected incidents around me is far exceeding expectations. If it’s not a curse, then how do you explain it?

For instance, the current situation, Zhaosi has been hiding in the ancient tomb for hundreds of years, the coffin has been in the tomb for thousands of years. The group who stokes the boilers could have come earlier or later, but they just came after I arrived, and they even took Baozi and the others. I can’t ignore it.

I looked at the watch; it’s already closing time. The park lost four security guards, tonight will be a sleepless night for everyone, whether above ground or below.

When I came down earlier, I forgot to send a text to Chen Qinghan to explain, now there’s no signal on the phone, I’ll have to wait until I go back to send it.

"I forgot to ask you earlier, why are you taking herbal medicine? That’s something humans use to treat diseases, you won’t get sick."

"Treat the disease if there is one, nourish the body if there’s none. It’s a new discovery, maybe it’ll be a major discovery in thousands of years."

"Are you saying that herbal medicine works on you?"

"Uh-huh. Haven’t you noticed the green on my body has faded?" I took off my gloves to show Zhaosi my palms.

Zhaosi was very surprised, and I was too, because my palms had returned to their original color. Not just the palms, but my wrists, arms, and belly—all the green had faded.

"It turns out buying wild herbs works best." I murmured softly, feeling quite joyous. At last, I don’t need to rely on others for help. Depending on those three was less effective than taking herbs myself.

"Unbelievable, it’s been solved so simply."

"That’s why, you can’t stick to conventions, you have to learn from other species."

"Hmph, solve the drawbacks of the Karmic Fire first before you talk."

Changing concepts requires time, and evidence too. This time Baozi’s good intention acted by coincidence, helping me return to my original form. Whether it’s permanently effective or not, it’s still hard to say. It requires further verification and observation.
