Chapter 134: Something Strange About It

“Why are you…” in the grave-robbing industry, no one asked how much they make, that was the rule. Hu Min wanted to criticize her, but as if she suddenly realized something, she widened her eyes again and said, “You don’t do daodou [a non-common way to refer to grave robbing]? You tricked me?”

“Daodou is grave robbing?” This was the first time Yun Qin heard such a term, which piqued her interest.

Seeing Hu Min’s shocked and doubtful expression, Yun Qin quickly comforted her, “Alright, I won’t tease you anymore. Let’s get down to business.”

Under Yun Qin’s forceful coaxing, Hu Min had no choice but to tell her the whole story.

Hu Luo was Hu Min’s grandmother. This was true.

However, Hu Luo was not Meida Studio’s employee. It was just an identity that she and her team borrowed for convenience.

Hu Luo’s real identity was a grave robber.

In the capital, many aristocratic families relied on grave-robbing for a living. The Hu family was one of them.

However, the daughters in the Hu family had a hard life. First, Hu Luo died at Black Bear Ridge, leaving behind a young daughter. Then, Hu Min’s parents died when she was young, causing Hu Min to suffer greatly in society.

Logically speaking, in such a family, Hu Min would not have a deep relationship with her grandmother, Hu Luo, whom she never even met before.

Let alone going to Black Bear Ridge to collect her grandmother’s corpse.

Therefore, when Yun Qin asked, Hu Min hesitated for a moment before saying, “Someone told me that my grandmother had something very important on her at that time.”

As for what it was, Hu Min did not want to say anymore.

After thinking for a moment, Yun Qin asked indifferently, “Have you seen a zombie before?”

“Zongzi [a typical way grave robbers refer to zombies]? Not only have I seen one before, but I was also scratched by one,” Hu Min said indifferently.

“The zongzi that you people talk about is a zombie. Realistically, they are a type of spiritual monster.” Yun Qin took a sip of tea and said slowly, “And when I say that I have seen your grandmother, I didn’t actually see her.”

Hu Min was interested and looked at her without blinking.

“What I saw was a spiritual monster with your grandmother’s memories.”

After hearing this, Hu Min slammed the table. “A living person can become a spiritual monster after death? Are you kidding me?”

If Yun Qin had never seen the tree spirit, Hu Luo, she would probably find it hard to believe as well. Therefore, Yun Qin only said nonchalantly, “Up to you if you want to believe it or not.”

Since Yun Qin was the only person who knew where Hu Luo died, Hu Min lost her temper. She sat on the chair looking dejected.

At this moment, Yun Qin activated her “Insight” ability. After looking at Hu Min for a few seconds, she said, “What is there in Black Bear Ridge that is attracting so many of you to go there?”

Seeing that Hu Min’s expression became anxious, Yun Qin quickly raised her hand to stop her. “This is what I read looking at your fortune. Don’t be anxious.”

“You swindler, you do have some real abilities.” Hu Min laughed. Then, she said ambiguously, “If you find what’s there, you can live comfortably for the rest of your life. Tell me, who wouldn’t want that?”

However, Yun Qin detected that even Hu Min herself didn’t know what treasure was inside Black Bear Ridge, so she muttered, “Aren’t you afraid that aside from zongzi, there will also be ghosts there?”

After all, Hu Luo died at the hands of an evil ghost. Apparently, grave robbers were rarely on guard against ghosts.

“Of course I know, but we don’t specialize in ghost haunting. That’s why we asked Taoist masters to go with us to catch the ghosts.”

Looking at Yun Qin, a thought flashed through Hu Min’s mind and she said, “Perfect! Don’t you know how to catch ghosts? You have to go with me!”

Yun Qin didn’t expect that Hu Min wanted to set off for Black Bear Ridge the day after tomorrow.

After reaching an agreement, Hu Min emphasized again, “You can only say that you’re a Taoist master that I invited. You can’t say anything about my grandmother.”

“As for the reward, don’t worry. Once everything is done, you will get six figures. This is a $200,000 down payment. I’ll give it to you first.”

Hu Min pushed a card over. Yun Qin looked down silently and did not say anything.

“Regardless of what happens, as long as you go with me and take me to my grandmother, this $200,000 is yours, is that ok?”

Hu Min thought that Yun Qin was stunned by the $200,000, so she said proudly.

“Okay, I understand.” Yun Qin nodded.

After agreeing on the time and place they would meet the day after tomorrow, Hu Min left in a hurry.

Yun Qin was still sitting in the private room, thinking about the two women in the Hu family, Hu Luo and Hu Min.

For these grave robbers to go there repeatedly, there must be a huge tomb in Black Bear Ridge. When Yun Qin entered the cave, she did detect some clues.

Since Hu Min wanted her to help find Hu Luo’s corpse but wanted her to hide that fact and only tell everyone that she was a Taoist master accompanying them, Hu Luo must have secrets that tied her to Black Bear Ridge.

However, Yun Qin couldn’t figure out what was so strange about it.

‘No matter what, I have to go to Black Bear Ridge again this time’, Yun Qin thought to herself.
