Chapter 1139: Why did it get dark? The scene instantly spiraled out of control!

~7 min read 1,284 words

If it weren't for Zhang Lin reminding them that these people would definitely appear, the Second Archaeological Team would have thought those foreigners had long since been wiped out.

They wouldn't have appeared here at all. And now that they have walked to this point, it proves that the boss behind the scenes is definitely a master.

And he has been guiding them all the way to this place. The saying "the mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind" is the logic here.

Wang Kaixuan himself does not want to be that mantis, and the entire Second Archaeological Team wants to be it even less.

Wang Canghai was also watching the live broadcast at this moment. When he heard Wang Kaixuan's words, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but pull into a smile, but the man in the suit behind him felt a bit uneasy.

He said subconsciously: "Master, you say this person wouldn't really do that, would he? If the entrance is blown shut, then..."

Before he could finish, Wang Canghai shook his head immediately and said: "Unless they are crazy. I know the exit here. If they don't pass through the original cave entrance to get to the space where they saw the small Corpse-Fragrant Konjac earlier, then they will never be able to get out!"

Originally, the man in the suit believed Wang Canghai's words implicitly, but once Zhang Lin appeared, he became full of doubts about everything regarding Wang Canghai!

Since this Zhang Lin is valued so highly by Wang Canghai, and he can explain the situation inside the Jingjue Ancient City clearly—

—even the man in the suit couldn't help but think subconsciously that perhaps this Zhang Lin's ability is truly greater than Wang Canghai's.

And his master might have really found the wrong opponent this time. But these things were only hidden deep in the man in the suit's heart; he didn't dare to say them out loud.

Otherwise, he might very well die without a burial place. He knew his master's true temper too well; he was definitely not the "good guy" he appeared to be on the surface, but rather capricious.

Perhaps the next moment he would really get angry and then make him disappear from this world completely.

Therefore, every word he said was cautious, trying his best to follow Wang Canghai's train of thought, fearing that any wrong step might bring about a fatal disaster.

And after hearing Wang Canghai's firm judgment, he didn't say anything else, just sighed secretly in his heart. At this moment, he didn't understand why, but he always had a bad premonition in his heart.

And at this moment, everyone in the Second Archaeological Team was ready to go, prepared to welcome that battle, and no one even paid any attention to the coffin itself.

No one blamed them for putting the cart before the horse; they just wanted to see what was going on with those foreigners. Since Zhang Lin was reticent about this matter, they needed to investigate and understand the situation themselves.

Understand as much as they could; they absolutely could not remain in the dark forever!

Everyone held such thoughts, including the Second Archaeological Team at this moment.

Yang Lu understood that since Zhang Lin was unwilling to say more, the situation regarding these foreigners proved that the things hidden behind them must not be fully known to everyone.

Otherwise, it would definitely cause an uproar.

So even though Wang Kaixuan brought up this topic, Yang Lu signaled him to shut up quickly and not continue discussing this matter.

Otherwise, it would only make the comments in the live chat continue to ferment, and at that time, the focus of everyone at the Crescent Hotel would also shift to another direction.

And right now, they only need to focus on one point: that is to prove the sentence said earlier—who exactly is in this coffin?

Actually, he is also wearing a golden mask; some things don't seem hard to guess.

Just as Yang Lu was thinking about these things, a gunshot suddenly rang out again.

Immediately following that, the entire space went dark!

Seeing this scene, Wang Canghai raised an eyebrow, his eyes full of triumph. And the moment this space went dark, several black shadows darted out from within.

Yang Lu's reaction at the time was stunned; she had never expected such a thing to happen.

And Wang Kaixuan had had such a warning from the beginning. What he was pondering in his heart just now was the fear that someone might have other extreme situations.

Rushing out—after all, everything that happened before had verified from the side that the person pulling the strings behind the foreigners, telling them how to act, seemed to possess knowledge no worse than Zhang Lin's.

Under this premise, what kind of means they could use, no one could predict.

Just like now, the space suddenly became dim; no one knew what had happened.

The live chat exploded instantly.

【What is the situation? Why did it suddenly get dark?】

【Is there something wrong with my phone?!】

【No! There's nothing wrong on your end; I see nothing but black too.】

【It must be the live broadcast camera that's malfunctioning again. Can the officials get some better equipment?】

【Don't talk! Look at Mr. Zhang's expression!】

That's right, Zhang Lin's expression was indeed stagnant now; even he hadn't expected such a thing to happen.

At this moment, he also realized that Wang Canghai must still have some means he didn't know about.

However, Zhang Lin still shook his head, recovering his composure, with a smile on his face.

After seeing this smile, Wang Canghai's expression suddenly stiffened. He really couldn't understand how a person could still maintain such a composed posture after seeing their own means being broken by him.

And everything right now seemed to have lost control.

And what Zhang Lin believed in did not come from his previous judgment.

It was because of Yang Lu's ability as the Leader of the Mountain-Moving Sect.

If such a small trick could stump Yang Lu, then she wouldn't deserve to be called the Leader of the Mountain-Moving Sect.

And the man in the suit behind Wang Canghai was stunned. He asked subconsciously: "Master, was this all arranged by you?"

Wang Canghai did not answer his question; at this moment, he was staring intently at the screen.

He wanted to see what would happen when the lights came on in a moment.

The light on this dome itself was gathered from the light source from before; it mainly came from the starlight leaking out from the pollen of the Corpse-Fragrant Konjac.

If the scene before the eyes of the people watching the live broadcast at this time was still the same situation as before—

—then it could only mean that the people of the Second Archaeological Team had been blinded, or that they were "blinded by a leaf," and there was something before their eyes.

That was why they couldn't see.

But now the entire dome had gone dark; this space seemed to lack any light source, and even if there were one, it wouldn't have any effect.

Wang Kaixuan reacted extremely quickly, and Yang Lu and the others pulled out the flashlights at their waists and turned them on at the first opportunity.

But the moment the flashlight beams lit up, through the sound of the live broadcast room, one could only hear the sound of the switches rebounding repeatedly.

At this moment, Yang Lu and Wang Kaixuan, including Hu Bayi and Shen Qiong, all thought their flashlights were broken.

But this was too much of a coincidence!
