Chapter 1075

At this moment, everyone nodded subconsciously. After all, who wouldn't be afraid of such things?

Even the official personnel couldn't sit still at this moment, let alone these book-listening fans.

Seeing everyone's reaction, Zhang Lin nodded and couldn't help but sigh, saying, "Actually, you don't need to think about the problem so complexly. If the definition of a curse is that it brings influence to people, then this kind of curse indeed exists."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone gasped. In fact, the one least surprised by this answer was Yang Lu of the Second Archaeological Team.

At this moment, the Second Archaeological Team was still in the midst of intense preparations, yet the official news was transmitted directly to them, even though Zhang Lin's words were only half-spoken.

Hearing this, Yang Lu didn't show any reaction, while Wang Kaixuan subconsciously felt a chill run down his spine.

The other few were the same. Yang Lu wanted to offer words of comfort, but didn't expect Wang Kaixuan to speak first: "Team Leader Yang, after this thing is opened, we won't all be affected, will we?"

Wang Kaixuan's reaction this time was very fast. He didn't treat the curse as something ethereal or some common pseudo-scientific matter.

He only thought that the curse would bring some kind of disease, or simply a deadly poison. If he were to die on the spot, Wang Kaixuan wouldn't be afraid.

What he feared was that kind of chronic poison pulling at him, sucking away his life bit by bit, until finally, helpless, he could only choose death.

That was what Wang Kaixuan was most worried about!

And Yang Lu, hearing Wang Kaixuan's words, couldn't help but be stunned.

She also didn't expect Wang Kaixuan's reaction to be so fast this time. In fact, what he said was already close to the truth; the influence of some things was certain.

After arriving at the Ancient City of Jingjue, Yang Lu also didn't expect the Queen of Jingjue's curse to extend to today, or that she would leave such a curse even if she died.

Would everyone who entered the Ancient City of Jingjue carry a corresponding curse?

Even if they left in the end, would it still be the case?

Yang Lu didn't want to turn her own personal matter into everyone's matter, but if it were truly as Zhang Lin said, there was no other way.

She thought that if one person opened the coffin at that time without needing the coordinated cooperation of the other two, then Yang Lu wouldn't fear any corresponding curse.

Because she already carried that kind of curse on her body. Perhaps the curse others received wouldn't be as severe as the one passed down through her generations, but Yang Lu thought that it would still be better if one less person were cursed.

Looking at Wang Kaixuan's appearance at this moment, Hu Bayi came over, patted him, grinned, and said, "Old Wang, what's wrong with you this time? You never used to believe in these ghosts and gods. Curse or no curse, Mr. Zhang must have an ulterior meaning."

Wang Kaixuan shook his head subconsciously and said, "Old Hu, I feel like this time is different. Listen to the tone the officials used just now, and the things Mr. Zhang said! The people at the Crescent Hotel were right before; this might be a virus or another form of mechanism started by the Queen of Jingjue."

"As long as we touch this layer of the mechanism, there will definitely be no good end."

In fact, under this premise, Wang Kaixuan's speculation right now had a basis. It was precisely because of the series of things the Queen of Jingjue did before and after that brought corresponding trouble to everyone.

And among these troubles, the most severe was the hallucination brought by the Corpse-Fragrant Konjac. Since she could coordinate the Corpse-Fragrant Konjac and the Imaginary Number Space to this extent,

then bringing that kind of bad curse to people, or carrying that kind of virus, wouldn't be surprising.

Yang Lu sighed at this moment, shook her head, and said, "Stop guessing blindly. Wait for Mr. Zhang to explain."

Yang Lu had actually decided to let them listen to what Zhang Lin said next, and then analyze the situation themselves.

She was very clear about the curse, and as for what needed to be done later, she could only listen to Zhang Lin's instructions.

If this curse would bring consequences to others through coordination, then Yang Lu would choose to tell the truth, or perhaps Zhang Lin at the Crescent Hotel had already considered this for her.

And he would explain the price paid by those who coordinated with her to open the coffin completely. As for how to choose, it would depend on what these people specifically wanted to do.

Yang Lu believed more that if she could open the coffin alone, Zhang Lin would absolutely not send others to do this task. She would be the first to bear the brunt; after all, her purpose in coming to the Ancient City of Jingjue was the strongest.

With this major premise, Yang Lu simply stopped being anxious. She just looked at the time; there was still some time to squander before Zhang Lin's uncle's time.

Even if opening the coffin was complex, the remaining time was enough.

After that, Zhang Lin could formulate a way out for them, and the rest wouldn't need Yang Lu to worry about.

Having figured this out, Yang Lu stopped speaking, while Wang Kaixuan and Hu Bayi looked at each other. At this moment, Shen Qiong remained silent.

She didn't know how to express her emotions. Regarding the curse, the Wang family also had records, and she knew that the reason Zhang Lin spoke this way was definitely not without foundation.

Correspondingly, even without Zhang Lin's previous explanation, Shen Qiong understood that this kind of curse must exist!

Wang Kaixuan and Hu Bayi suddenly fell silent; they also wanted to hear what Mr. Zhang inside the Crescent Hotel would say next.

They were counting on the official reports to continue.

Wang Kaixuan and Hu Bayi were not afraid of death, but everyone was afraid of dying without knowing why. It was precisely because Yang Lu knew this that she didn't want them to rush up rashly.

If Zhang Lin revealed that answer, then Hu Bayi and Wang Kaixuan would definitely volunteer, or even rush to their deaths. As long as it wasn't dying without knowing why, they could accept it.

And Shen Qiong sighed quietly at this moment, which no one noticed.

Perhaps this time coming to the Ancient City of Jingjue, only Shen Qiong had a completely different purpose from the others.

Yang Lu was an exception, and Shen Qiong was another exception.

The next moment, Zhang Lin at the Crescent Hotel smiled indifferently.

"I know the scope of the definition of the curse you are thinking of, but if you are thinking too far ahead, then quickly pull back your thoughts."
