Fade spoke loudly, "Before we enter the tomb, there's some things I want to tell you. The Feng Shui of this tomb is very bad and there are supernatural things inside. There will only be dangerous and no benefits if you go down."
He saw looks of disbelief on the villagers.
He immediately continued, "I know some of you don't believe me. Let me tell you now, Hassad fainted because he went into the tomb. I just entered the tomb and saw some supernatural things inside. You can't fight those things down there."
As soon as he finished his speech, the villagers started to look at him as they discussed it in low voices.
"Is he telling the truth?" One of the villagers asked.
"I don't believe it. Goddess Lunar just manifested; what is this kid to her!"
"However, we just saw the kid coming out from the tomb," someone else said.
"He said there's something supernatural in the tomb but he came out unharmed. Isn't he just scaring us?"
"But... But I feel uneasy. Why don't we just wait!" Another villager proposed.
"If that's the case, I won't be going in. You all can go first!"
"It doesn't matter if there's something supernatural, it's still a tomb. It's already bad luck to go in so I'm not going," another villager excused himself.
For a brief moment, many of the villagers stopped and didn't want to enter.
As soon as Marilyn saw this, she looked at Fade before signaling to the burly men beside her. She then looked at the villagers and spoke, "It's okay if you don't go down. We'll go. You must guard the entrance. Don't let them make a mess and destroy our sacrificial ceremony."
"Thank you for your hard work, Madam Marilyn."
"Thank you for your hard work!" They shouted in unison.
As she spoke, she led the burly men and a few villagers who wanted to try their luck to the entrance of the tomb.
Hassad was extremely distressed and indignant when he saw this. "This is an ancient tomb, you're spoiling a relic! How can you..." He cried.
Fade patted Hassad's shoulder to console him. "Don't worry, Hassad. They won't stay for long. They'll learn their lesson soon enough," he reassured him.
Soon after that, Marilyn and the others entered the ancient tomb.
Many villagers stood at the entrance with anticipation.
Fade sneered by the side. Yankee was puzzled and came over to ask him, "Brother Chen, you say that Marilyn is a scammer. However, what happened with the smoke just now?"
"Yeah, that thing seems so amazing. I almost believed it as well," Hallim agreed too.
Fade chuckled and said, "They accused me of using a trick. In reality, they were the ones who used a trick. The rune paper has been soaked in special herbs and its ashes will emit a special aura when it's burned."
"The form of a human was formed by someone secretly guiding it with positive energy. As for the voice, it was already pre- recorded and there's nothing special about it."
Upon hearing his explanation, Yankee and Hallim looked at each other, speechless.
They then glanced at the tomb and asked, "Brother
Chen, you said that there's something supernatural in the tomb. Is it real or are you scaring them?"
"As for this, you'll know very soon," Fade said calmly.
At that moment, there was a commotion from the tomb. It shocked the villagers guarding the entrance and they started to curiously investigate.
At that moment, a shriek suddenly sounded and frightened everyone. It was then followed by the sound of all sorts of screams and running.
