Tomb Raiding: What! You're Saying I'm the Villain?

[A tomb-guarding faction forced into tomb raiding + strong female lead + hears inner thoughts + female lead has a calm, unhinged kind of madness + obsessive + gentle but deadly + villains]

Ke Yingyang, a young lady skilled in both medicine and poison, lost a bet with her six-year-old niece and was forced to leave home with her in the middle of the night, setting off for the Golmud Sanatorium.

That trip led Ke Yingyang to discover that she could hear her niece’s thoughts.

[This must be the Tender Beef Squad, right? Hehe, I finally get to see them in person. I’m the most accomplished Rice Dumpling fan ever!]

Ke Yingyang: Rice Dumpling? Rice? Is my niece starving?

The Tender Beef Squad: What the heck? Who’s this kid?

[What a shame. A Ning is going to die, bitten to death by a wild chicken-necked snake…]

A Ning: ?!

And so this scene unfolded: A Ning was fully geared up, her neck wrapped tight, her clothes dusted all over with the snake- and insect-repellent powder Ke Yingyang had given her. She watched her surroundings warily.

The moment a wild chicken-necked snake poked its head out, A Ning sprinkled it with the powder and killed it.

[Ugh, how do I tell Little Third Master and Xiaohua that when they went to Four Maiden Mountain, a pebble got stuck in the last combination lock, making the code wrong, and everyone except Xiao Ge and Pangzi died? Pan Zi also died protecting Wu Xie in the Zhang family’s ancient building.]

Wu Xie and Xie Yuchen shuddered. As soon as they saw the wall of combination locks, they inspected it carefully before taking photos and sending them to Banan.

Wu Xie even used his Third Uncle’s name to get Pan Zi a long leave of absence.

In the end, they discovered that some parts of the story had changed, and the changes all seemed to be connected to people named Mu Chenzhou and Zhang Konglu.

And someone was pulling the strings behind the scenes.

Who was it?
