Chapter 35: Xu Fu!
In this world, Xu Fu left very little color in history.
Many people even have no clue about what happened during the Qin Dynasty period.
Not to mention Xu Fu anymore.
But Cheng Haixing and their department are different.
They once conducted a very deep investigation into the Qin Dynasty, aiming to find out if ancient talented and extraordinary people really existed.
For example, during the Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin asked Li Chunfeng to calculate the fate of the Tang Dynasty.
However, Li Chunfeng unexpectedly got addicted and calculated the fate of the Chinese nation for five thousand years, before being stopped by Yuan Tiangang.
Leaving behind the timeless prophetic book, the Tui Bei Tu.
Of course, there are many similar examples.
Their Zero Bureau was established to investigate ancient talented and extraordinary events, as well as to decipher modern unexplainable supernatural events.
Now, with the excavation of the Mausoleum of the First Emperor Qin.
The main focus of their work at Zero Bureau also shifted to the Qin Dynasty.
Among them, Xu Fu was their main research subject.
But Xu Fu had very little historical information to offer them. Could the mysterious figure before them know something about Xu Fu instead?
Who could he be?
Why does he know this story?
Is this story made up?
No, just now, experts have verified the allusions in Chen Ye’s words.
In the end, they reached a very shocking conclusion!
The allusions in Chen Ye’s words are true!
They only know small pieces of history, with big gaps in between that they are unaware of.
And Chen Ye’s story happens to be intertwined in this blank history!
For example, why did Qin Shi Huang summon all sorcerers and value them so much?
This point has become a timeless mystery in this world.
Who would have thought that it would be filled in by a monster?
And why did Qin Shi Huang call himself the First Emperor, what was the reason behind it?
Only when they heard Chen Ye say that Qin Shi Huang believed his own achievements surpassed the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, did they suddenly realize something.
The story that Chen Ye told, which was a mix of truth and fiction, truly perplexed them.
In the end, they finally reached a common understanding.
And through Cheng Haixing’s voice, he asked:
"Who are you?"
Facing Cheng Haixing’s question, Chen Ye smiled, "I am a person."
Cheng Haixing’s eyes narrowed, "A person? I can’t see that. Well, let’s not talk about this question for now."
"Using your story, since your power comes from a mask, how did you get this mask?"
"Did someone give it to you while buying groceries, and conveniently tell you a piece of history?"
Chen Ye hesitated for a moment, "That’s a good explanation, I agree."
Agree my foot!
Cheng Haixing took a deep breath, "Indeed, based on the abilities you’ve shown, we can’t keep you here, let alone do anything to you."
"But you alone are no match for the whole country, you are not strong enough with your abilities."
"If you are a person, you must have parents, family, friends, right? I think there are always some people in this world worth caring about."
"You can see this as a kind of threat."
Chen Ye laughed, "But what if I… just don’t care at all?"
"In another perspective, even if I do have family, can you find any information about me?"
Cheng Haixing and Chen Ye locked eyes for about thirty seconds, he seemed to be looking for a flaw in Chen Ye’s eyes, but unfortunately he didn’t find any.
Chen Ye got it right.
Cheng Haixing was just bluffing, in fact, they had no idea who Chen Ye was.
Cheng Haixing, "Well then, I have nothing to say, let’s talk about your deal, what do you want us to help you with?"
Chen Ye thought for a moment, "It’s simple, like me, there are eleven other Mask Hosts on this continent."
"They all have ambitious plans and want to get the mask of the First Emperor to command all the Ghost Shadow Corps!"
"Of course, I am the same."
"But at least, I am willing to stand by your side."
"I will provide you with the positions of the other Mask Hosts, if you can defeat them, all the masks will be yours."
"Of course, the condition is that you must help me find the mask of the First Emperor."
"I only want the mask of the First Emperor."
Upon hearing Chen Ye’s proposal, Cheng Haixing immediately pressed his earpiece to communicate quietly with the person behind the scenes.
After a while, Cheng Haixing sat back down.
"Okay, we can accept your deal, but we need to change a few things about the deal."
"First, we need to know all the information about the mask and Xu Fu; second, you need to stay and help us find the mask."
"During this time, we will do our best to find the First Emperor’s mask."
Chen Ye, "What if we can’t find it?"
Cheng Haixing, "Unless it’s not on Earth, there’s nothing we can’t find."
Chen Ye chuckled, "I’d love to see your skills, but no one knows where the First Emperor’s mask is yet."
"The only clue we have is Penglai Fairy Island."
Cheng Haixing’s eyes narrowed at the mention, "Penglai Fairy Island… Does such a place really exist in this world?"
Chen Ye said, "Who knows, maybe it does exist?"
Cheng Haixing thought for a moment, "We will do our best to find the Emperor’s mask. Now, I need to know, how do you plan to search for those masks?"
Chen Ye smiled, "It’s simple, the mask holders can sense and attract each other."
"I have good news, all twelve masks are in the country."
Upon hearing Chen Ye’s words, the people behind Cheng Haixing started to take notes.
Cheng Haixing, upon receiving the message, asked another question, "You mentioned that the Mausoleum of the First Emperor was once robbed. What are the specifics?"
Chen Ye rubbed his neck, "You didn’t find the First Emperor’s coffin inside the Mausoleum of the First Emperor, did you?"
Cheng Haixing nodded, "Indeed, we didn’t. Could it be that the First Emperor’s body and coffin have been stolen?"
Chen Ye replied, "No, the First Emperor’s coffin is not in this imperial tomb, Ying Zheng’s body is not buried here."
"It is in another imperial tomb, but the location of this tomb is known only by one person, Xu Fu."
"Xu Fu sealed the last mask with the body of the First Emperor in another royal tomb. The tomb you see is just an empty shell."
"The most precious things there are the twelve masks of the Ghost Generals hidden beneath the tomb."
"However, twenty years ago, someone discovered the Mausoleum of the First Emperor, but they only took twelve masks."
Cheng Haixing pondered, "So, from what perspective are you telling this story, as a participant?"
