Chapter 1025

Wang Kaixuan's face was full of confusion, though there was also a hint of pleasant surprise in it—but what kind of turning point could there possibly be now?

All the turning points came from a certain person; the moment the Corpse-Fragrant Amorphophallus bloomed, Zhang Lin definitely couldn't have made it here.

Accordingly, they could only solve the problem themselves.

If all four of them were controlled, they would be nothing more than fish on a chopping block, only able to break free from that control through the passage of time or by their own self-awareness.

But no one could predict what would happen during this process.

Likewise, no one could bear the consequences of such a thing.

The reason Yang Lu had everyone wait for news from atop the New Moon Restaurant was precisely because she had thought this point through.

No matter what happened, she alone would bear all the consequences, having nothing to do with anyone else.

She had even considered whether, at the moment the Corpse-Fragrant Amorphophallus bloomed—or perhaps before it—they should tie themselves up first.

That way, no kind of control would have any effect on them.

But Yang Lu quickly dismissed this idea, because the jade armor from before had given her a wake-up call: it wasn't just that the four of them would turn on each other or, after falling into madness, make unexpected choices and cease to be themselves.

It was very likely that things similar to that jade armor would also leap out from the surroundings, and this time Xu Lang definitely wouldn't show up again.

It could have been people from the burial pit below, or people who had once come with the Prince of Gumo—any of the ambushes buried here were possible.

These people would accordingly all become weapons for the Queen of Jingjue to guard her own tomb.

In the end, it all came back to that one saying: the Queen of Jingjue had gone to such great lengths to bury herself within her own kingdom, and she absolutely would not let later generations have things easy.

After Wang Kaixuan voiced this question, no one spoke, but immediately the three of them turned to look at Yang Lu in unison.

In their view, Yang Lu was the biggest variable here.

But right now Yang Lu herself was uncertain inside—Zhang Lin was well aware of the matters concerning her bloodline and the curse upon her.

She was also thinking to herself: could it be that Zhang Lin wanted to use this aspect of things to let her jump out of the range of that control?

But Yang Lu quickly shook her head and gave up on this line of thought.

Because if she were the outlier who jumped out and wasn't affected by the control, then whenever anyone displayed a frenzied action, she would also be the first to stop them.

Because her skills were the best among them here—the others were a level below her.

If it really were like this, Zhang Lin wouldn't have spoken so absolutely before; this proved that this method was something no one could have anticipated.

It was entirely beyond their understanding. Having figured this out, Yang Lu immediately shook her head.

She unconsciously and suddenly looked toward Young Master Zhao, and at this moment a strong premonition welled up in her heart.
