Chapter 73

Tanyashed closer to Madison, her voice trembling slightly. "Maddie, whatever's inside..dangerous? Can you handle it? If not, maybe we should just leave."

charles and Rob quickly chimed in, "Yeah. While the tomb is important, we can always figure out another way."

İTIGIS VUONOSsary to risk anyone's life over it.

"Letmetry, Madison stated calmly.

A ghost that had been lingering for thousands of years would be incredibly difficult to deal with if consumed by resentment, turning it into a malevolent spirit. But if it had merely been practicing its cultivation, its power would be formidable.

Madison instructed Tanya and the others to step back from the pit. Alone, she stood before the stone sile. She muttered a few spells, and a talisman paper appeared at her Impertips.

Tyler's eyes widened in astonishment. He watched as stadison gracefully sketched a complex and intricate nine on the floating talisman paper, as if she were drawing with an invisible brush.

As the rune took farm, the talisman paper began to emit a faint golden light

Although it was ihr for a briet moment, Tyler sawit clearly. He rubbed his eyes, unable to believe what he had just witnessed.

The talisman paper was magically floating in midair, and even when the golden light vanished, he was certain he hadn't imagined it

Tyler then heard a distinct sound-the sound of his worldvin shattering into pieces.

The talisman paper floated into the tunnel, and Madison frowned slightly as she wanted outside

charles and the others held their breath, waiting as well

Half an hour later, the talisman paper flew back into Madison's hand, completely unharmed. Madison stared at the intact talisman a look of colon crossing her face. Charles couldn't contain his anxiety and asked, "Madison, how is it?

Madison walked over with the talisman paper and answered somewhat perplexedly, "The ghost of the tomb owner isn't inside"

Charles binked in contain "What does that mean? Com we enter?"

"s like the owner lett the house with all the doors and windows locked"

The analogy was so spot-on that everyone understood it immediately.

'So, we can't enter for now? Charles asked.

Madison nodded. "But with the stele in place the tomb owner won't be gone for long. They'll be back soon enough,"

So they were supposed to wait for the tomb owner to return and ask permission to convale?

Rob ran a hand through his graying hair. "tvebeen in archaeology for years, and this is the first time I've encountered something like this."

"It's a first for everyone," Charles commented.

Meansshile, Tyler kept quiet. His mind was still ring.

As they walked back to the cottages, Charles said with frustration, "Those tomb raiders are despicable. The tomb owner was still there, and they just went ahead and looted the place."

It was equivalent to a group of this breaking into your home, smashing everything, and stealing what they wanted, while you could only watch powerlessly post the thought of It made him seethe with anger But Madison replied, "It's not like they just stood by and watched."

Rob and Charles both turned to her.

Madison explained, "Carlos married a virus wife. They should have had a loving marriage with children. But after he returned from tumb raiding, it wasn't long before he killed his wife and last the most important person in his life"

Because of what he did?"

Madison glanced back at the ancient tomb, the dark tunnel looking like the gaping maw of a monster, waiting for the ignorant and greedy to step inside.

"The tomb owner didn't take their lives immediately. Instead, they made see these people lost everything important to them before finally taking their lives

Charles and the others thought of Cules. The latter had killed his wife and had no chalin. Now, in prison, he was hely facing a death sentence. The rest of his gang probably met similar faten.

This punishment was far more painful than dying inside the tomb

Tyler bed, "Good thing we didn't goin

"The tomb owner can probably sense good intentions from bad," Madison trisssend him, "They knu w you meant na hamn, so they didn' thart you."

Tyler was speechless

So the tomb owner had a sense of justice, ina?
