The Informal Tomb Raiding Diary: She is the occupant of the tomb!-Chapter 103: The Butterfly Effect

I remembered the watermelon-cutting symbol, which shouldn’t have been that way originally, so I couldn’t trace its corresponding faction.

It must have been changed by He Su later, because it was her symbol.

But I don’t recall Bi Shi telling the five sisters underground that their leader deserved death, just like them. Did something happen that I don’t know about?

"Do you know... when she changed the symbol?" I sat down again, realizing I couldn’t stop He Su, so I might as well learn more about past events.

"Do you have to ask? It was after you were imprisoned. She completely defected from the tribe, the Elder Council issued a kill order, but you know, it’s not that easy to kill her, and later she disappeared completely."

Seeing my silence, she added, "She killed five elders just to avenge you, leaving two alive on purpose, hoping they would lead her to your prison location."

After pausing, she said, "Unfortunately, the two old ones preferred to die over revealing your whereabouts."

Elder Council...

I searched my mind for this term, which holds supreme decision-making power in our tribe, with the right to directly declare someone guilty, as long as more than half the elders agree.

Like issuing a kill order for He Su, only the Elder Council has this authority.

"She went crazy and killed my heir; count me in if you plan to eliminate her."

No wonder Bi Shi said He Su deserved to die, her frenzy left her heedless.

"Your heir was... the elder’s guard?"

"Yes, she died protecting the elder, but she was also my person."

The past was indeed a mess, I don’t know why it all surfaced once I reappeared.

Is this what they call the butterfly effect?

"Vengeance is yours to claim, don’t be polite." I didn’t want to sink back into past quagmires. Whatever I did, I should face the punishment; after thousands of years, I should be released.

Finally out into the world again, I just wish for a simple and free life.

"Didn’t you see? I can’t beat her." Bi Shi clicked his tongue, "Besides, she’s a wealthy woman now, and we’re just laborers and undocumented migrants."

Ha, I can only say this truth hits home!

Lingering with Bi Shi proves fruitless. I return to my room, where Chen Qinghan finishes his meal.

"Chen~" I shamelessly sit beside Chen Qinghan, scooting my chair close in camaraderie.

"Hmm?" Chen Qinghan immediately narrows his eyes warily, his expression seems to say ’What trouble are you plotting now?’

"I’m asking, do you have those... those kinds of... fangirls that just won’t leave you alone?" I recall Chen Qinghan once mentioned his romantic entanglements, so he should have experience in this matter. 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

"Hmm... yes." Chen Qinghan bowed in contemplation.

"How did you convince her to give up on you?"

"I still haven’t lost her."

"Tsk~ You’re not helping at all."

"You said you can’t shake her off no matter what."

"Alright, fine, I’ll think of something myself."

I waved my hand dismissively, quickly increasing distance, abandoning Chen Qinghan to stroll down the corridor.

The black-clad ones didn’t restrict our movements. I went to see bikini beauties swimming on the deck, strolled through the upper level casino, checked out the internal mall and souvenir shop.

In the bar, I suddenly glimpse the man beside He Su, holding a red-haired lady, heading for the restroom.

They entered the ladies’ room, I instantly followed, tailing them into the neighboring stall.

The passionate scenario I imagined didn’t happen; they stayed less than a minute in there. She whispered ’act tonight’.

Then left, followed by rustling sounds, and upon the man’s departure, I peeked; his suit fitted too well, allowing no excess space, revealing bulges at his back. Clearly, something was hidden at his lower back.

Act tonight? What act? He is He Su’s associate, could he possibly plot against her?

If the red-haired lady were He Su’s, they wouldn’t need a bar restroom to exchange ’items’.

This man was likely planted as a mole beside He Su.

Not in the mood to idle, I hurried back to inform Chen Qinghan of what I saw.

Reviewed He Su’s identity, past affairs, Chen Qinghan wasn’t surprised, he said someone above sent one of his ’clingy ones’ to aid him through crises if they’re friends.

His expression grew complex discussing this person, akin to my and He Su’s situations.

Chen Qinghan formally apprenticed, and had a senior sister, practically childhood friends.

She was immensely kind to him, initially leaving him deeply touched and respectful of her. They trained irrespective of the harsh cold or scorching heat, in youth he was mischievous, yet she covered for him anytime he slipped up.

Lately, his family faced successive troubles; she stayed by his side, enlightening him. Throughout, he felt she was like a sister.

During overseas endeavors, she followed, caring for him abroad.

He viewed her as gentle and nurturing, loving caretaking.

But one day, a girl frequently texting and inviting him for outings went missing.

That was merely the start; subsequently, females persistently showing interest vanished.

The police initially suspected him; despite surveillance, more went missing.

Eventually, all were found, unharmed, without fatalities. No longer enamored of Chen Qinghan post-recovery in hospital.

Since then, Chen Qinghan suspected his senior sister, but his findings were too tenuous for evidence. Thus, maintained caution, though she always found him.

When Chen Qinghan engaged in the Heavenly Maiden Tomb project, she joined a different team.

Still within the project, frequent encounters ensured, twice annually.

Exhibiting unwavering gentleness, her smile a kind mask.

Chen Qinghan discerned, feeling her strategy’s brilliance in never speaking of love.

Firmly rooted as his senior sister, escaping love’s declaration, leaving refusal impossible yet revealing possession desires.

"Ah~ Are you using me as a shield again? Beware, this senior sister might dissect me if provoked." Having grasped the true picture, I realized Chen Qinghan intended to repeat his trick, pretending I’m his girlfriend.

"With others, maybe, not you..."

"Hmph, if she dares harm me, I’ll capture her crime on tape, send her to the gallows!"

"Okay."

"Actually, I didn’t agree, just speaking casually!"

"She’s already convinced, the captain says so."
