"Yes, itâs here."
Lu Heng nodded.
"That should be Tea Mountain. Letâs keep going,"
Ma Jian and the others climbed over Tea Mountain, steadily moving forward.
With the guidance of the black youth, they found the tiger-shaped stone smoothly.
"The Taoist priest mentioned before, the place where the body is buried is in these woods."
"Thereâs also a big tree nearby with âLiang loves Qingâ carved on it, letâs split up and look for it!"
Ma Jian looked around and said loudly.
The others nodded in agreement and entered the woods, searching for the tree with the carvings.
The livestream viewersâ perspectives followed Ma Jianâs phone as it wandered through the dark woods.
"Oh crap! The eerie night, silent and still, what if a ghost in a red dress suddenly appears...?"
"Oh god, stop! I can already imagine the scene!"
"A ghost? Is there something good about that?"
"If youâve got guts, even ghost ladies have to take maternity leave!"
"As long as youâre skilled, the ghost lady has to go to the maternity ward! If youâre daring, sheâll have to take two leaves!"
"Exactly, whatâs there to fear about ghosts? Iâm more of a lustful ghost!"
"Iâm a poor ghost! Weâre all ghosts, whoâs afraid of who?"
"666! Seeing these big brothers in our livestream room, even ghosts will run away scared."
"In my humble opinion, this really is a good place to bury a body, eerily quiet, full of yin energy!"
"The world is in chaos yet not in chaos, with war imminent, the brewing storm awakens the finest of zombies whoâve been sleeping for a hundred years, mysterious and unfathomable zombies..."
"Are you talking about the finest of zombiesâWang Jiangchen?"
"This environment is too scary! Luckily, everyone is with me!"
"Donât be afraid, we have the Taoist priest!"
"With the Taoist priestâs abilities, subduing a few little ghosts is a piece of cake!"
As the viewers joked, someone in the woods suddenly shouted, "I found it! I found it!"
Hearing this, Ma Jian and the others moved towards that person.
"This tree has âLiang loves Qingâ carved on it!"
"This should be the tree."
The person pointed at the carvings with a flashlight, his face excited.
Ma Jian stepped forward for a look and confirmed it.
Then he asked Lu Heng, "Master, the burial site should be nearby, right?"
"Thatâs correct!"
Lu Heng nodded, affirming, "You all can dig around here, you might find it."
"Alright, Iâll set up the phone first, and then weâll all dig together!"
Ma Jian got right to work.
After fixing the phone to the tree, he immediately started digging with the others.
"Wow, Iâm watching people dig live on a livestream!"
"Iâm going to take a nap; wake me up when you find something."
"Buddha bless! Celestial Venerable bless! God bless!"
"Brother, arenât you mixing up your beliefs?"
"If I didnât know the backstory, Iâd think someone was streaming a tomb robbery!"
"Haha, the atmosphere and scene really do seem like that."
"Brother Ma is quite daring; if they dig up the wrong person, thatâll be hilarious!"
"If they really dig up the wrong person, it might be more work for the local police."
"The police are probably eager for you to bring more cases, to boost their case-solving rate."
Xiaoma and the others split up to dig but found nothing after a long while.
"Could we have the wrong spot?"
They stopped digging, breathing heavily.
But at that moment, the black youth suddenly shouted, "I think I found something!"
Hearing this, everyone gathered around.
Looking into the pit, they saw a silver-white plastic fragment appear before their eyes.
"This seems like a suitcase fragment..."
A breeze blew past, sending chills down their spines.
"Gulp!"
Ma Jian slowly swallowed.
Everyone around, including the black youth, seemed a bit at a loss.
Before finding anything, they hoped they could find Zhang Zitongâs body and clear her name.
But now, having found something, a trace of fear crept in.
"Donât be afraid; weâre here to seek justice for Xiaotong."
Seeing this, Ma Jian immediately encouraged everyone.
"Yeah, yeah, weâre doing a good thing."
"If Xiaotong has a spirit in heaven, sheâll surely protect us, not harm us."
The black youth echoed his sentiment.
Encouraged by the two of them, warmth slowly returned to the others, not as cold as before.
"Letâs keep digging!"
"But be careful, donât disturb the scene."
Under Ma Jianâs lead, they cautiously removed the surrounding soil.
Soon, a vintage, heavily damaged suitcase lay quietly in the pit.
"Let me take a look!"
Taking a deep breath, Ma Jian used a shovel to slowly pry open the suitcase.
As the suitcaseâs upper layer was lifted, what lay inside wasnât decayed flesh or any gruesome scene people imagined.
Instead, there lay a skeleton dressed in dark brown clothes and pants.
"Did Xiaotong wear these clothes before she disappeared?"
"I think so, I remember Uncle Zhang and Aunt Zhang mentioning it when they reported her missing."
"This skeleton is quite short, it should be Xiaotong."
"Where are the police? Arenât they here yet?"
"They should be arriving soon, right?"
Meanwhile, the entire livestream was like a bomb had exploded, stunning everyone watching.
"Oh crap, they really found it!"
"I canât handle it; Iâm gonna have a heart attack."
"Amitabha... Celestial Venerable bless... Amen, amen..."
"Prosperity, democracy, civilization, harmony..."
"Iâm on my knees, witnessing another miracle!"
"The Taoist is really amazingâlike a cow that fell into a wine vatâdrunk and awesome! The only pity is he canât figure out who the murderer is."
"I beg the Taoist to take me as a disciple!"
"Forget being a disciple, Iâd even be willing to be the Flute-Blowing Boy if the Taoist needs one!"
On the other side, Ma Jian and the others dared not make any extraneous moves.
If they disturbed the scene, theyâd end up in trouble.
"Master, is this Xiaotongâs remains?"
After a deep breath, Ma Jian quietly asked.
"Itâs him..."
Before Lu Heng could finish, the livestream suddenly went dark.
"Due to the streamâs alleged horror and gory content violating Douhu platformâs rules, the streamer is required to make corrections within a time limit..."
Goodness, banned again!
Could be seven days this time.
Though not unjust, considering a body was shown.
Lu Heng seeing this, only chuckled helplessly.
"Letâs call it a day."
Leaving those words, he chose to end the livestream.
The viewers were all left stunned.
How did it get banned again?
Although the broadcast showed bones, it wasnât as bad as the dance or secondary anime sectionsâ suggestive content, right?
