Chapter 1109: Everyone take a step forward

Regardless of whether Shen Qiong is a member of the Wang family or not.

Shen Qiong wanted to see what the true tomb of the Queen of Jingjue, sealed for a thousand years, actually looked like.

Putting everything else aside, even if it were just to satisfy her own thirst for knowledge and curiosity, it would be fine. But some curiosity is destined to remain unsatisfied.

Because Zhang Lin's words were very clear: if they touched the corpse of the Queen of Jingjue, or even watched at close range, they would have the same result as the other three.

And in this result, it seemed they also had to seek answers together with everyone.

Hu Bayi, after being serious, had a relaxed expression instead and grinned.

Wang Kaixuan glared at him. As brothers for many years, he certainly knew what Hu Bayi was thinking at this moment.

In Hu Bayi's view, since one would be cursed as long as they touched it, what else was there to worry about?

Everything seemed to have declared the answer, which was that they must touch that thing. After all, they were members of the Second Archaeological Team.

If they chose to avoid everything that happened later, or even stood far away to watch, then were they still worthy of being members of the Second Archaeological Team?

Based on this thought, Hu Bayi simply let go. There were some quotas he didn't need to fight for, nor did he need to persuade Young Master Zhao to let himself replace him in opening that coffin.

Because the moment the Queen of Jingjue's coffin rose, he told himself he must walk up close and then enjoy the same fate as everyone else. After this, they could experience those hardships and dangers together again. No matter how difficult the road ahead was, as long as he was with his brothers, Hu Bayi believed everything could be solved easily.

When brothers are of one mind, their sharpness can cut through metal; he always believed in this saying.

And with Zhang Lin from the Crescent Hotel as a guide, they had even less to worry about. Thinking of this, Hu Bayi couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Wang Kaixuan walked over and pushed him hard, saying: "Old Hu, I know what you're thinking. Now, immediately, take that thought back, you know?"

Hu Bayi imitated Wang Kaixuan's usual manner, grinned, shook his head, and said: "You can control the heavens and the earth, but can you control what I think? When did our roles switch?"

Wang Kaixuan's expression was very serious at this time, and he said sternly: "I don't have time to joke with you. In a while, you just stand in that corner for me. Since you and Shen Qiong didn't open the coffin, you don't need to be cursed."

Hu Bayi nodded and didn't say anything, but Wang Kaixuan was instinctively very worried. He knew that Hu Bayi agreeing to this matter so easily meant he would definitely act on his own and approach the coffin when the time came.

Yang Lu took a deep breath at this time and said slowly: "Hu Bayi, Wang Kaixuan is right. Some things are completely unnecessary."

Hearing this, Hu Bayi sighed. Facing his brother Wang Kaixuan, he could joke around and divert the topic directly.

Even if he deceived the other party on this level, Hu Bayi felt it was nothing. Some things were done out of conscience, and some things were done out of friendship.

But Yang Lu was the leader of the Second Archaeological Team. Hu Bayi really couldn't choose to deceive Yang Lu in this way. He felt it was particularly unkind and he couldn't justify it to himself.

Under this premise, he decided to tell the truth, or rather, convey his thoughts to everyone.

Immediately, he said calmly: "Leader Yang, Old Wang, I know what you are worried about, but sometimes things can't be thought of that way. I don't care what others think, but now my fate is already sealed."

"Wang Kaixuan is my brother, so it is destined that we must walk the road ahead together, and I absolutely cannot be left behind."

Wang Kaixuan hurriedly said: "Old Hu, walking the road ahead together is no problem, but your way of doing it is problematic. If we walk the road together, we walk it together, why must you insist on carrying a curse on yourself?"

Hu Bayi sighed again and then said: "Then what do you want me to do? So many people are watching the live stream. I'll just say it now: I care about face, is that okay? This time I must go up, otherwise, I am not worthy of being a member of the Second Archaeological Team."

This was purely from the heart. Right now, Hu Bayi didn't say anything messy; he just used the shortest and most resolute words to express his intention.

And in this intention, Hu Bayi attributed the problem to his own face. Saying it this way now didn't throw the problem back to the Second Archaeological Team, but threw it to himself.

No one could interfere with Hu Bayi's choice, because this was for his face, and also to prove that he was a qualified member of the archaeological team.

So that was why he said it this way. In this way, no one could interfere with his choice. This was also what Hu Bayi truly wanted.

Listening to Hu Bayi say this, everyone fell silent, and even Yang Lu didn't offer any more advice.

At this time, Shen Qiong actually took a step forward. Although her choice was the same as Hu Bayi's, her thoughts were actually different from Hu Bayi's.

However, with Hu Bayi saying it like that, it saved her from explaining anything.

As a member of the Wang family, and with her own curiosity at work, she had to make such a choice.

She had to see the corpse of the Queen of Jingjue so that she could justify it to herself and to everyone. This was also what Shen Qiong wanted.

Seeing Shen Qiong take a step forward, Yang Lu couldn't help but be stunned. This was something that had already been decided before. She didn't expect these two to be so persistent. Actually, if Zhang Lin hadn't said it like that, this wouldn't have happened.

But relatively speaking, they would definitely still be cursed. This was certain.

It was precisely because she didn't want to see such things happen that these choices were made later.

And Yang Lu never expected that their persistence would reach such a point. At this time, the barrage also began to discuss heatedly, and most of their tones were emotional.

【Unexpected, truly, adversity reveals true feelings. They can still be like this at this time.】

【Why do I feel this Hu Bayi is a bit stupid? And that Shen Qiong, it's not worth it, just for face.】

【You seem to have a serious illness. Is this for face?】

【Don't talk to such contrarians, it's meaningless.】

【I tell you, this is not just for face, there is also friendship involved.】

【Walking all the way here, everyone has experienced such things.】

【That's right, not one person can be left behind. Don't abandon, don't give up, understand?】

【You've watched "Soldiers Sortie" too much, right? Abandon and give up? These two words don't seem to fit this time.】

【That's why a cold-blooded and heartless person like you would never understand this kind of friendship.】
