Chapter 1665

He could not get in touch with the second archaeological team, but Zhang Lin was capable of doing so; it was just that he had underestimated Zhang Lin too much.

Wu Ya hung up the phone—or to be more precise, it was Wang Canghai on the other end who had taken the initiative to hang up. He felt he had already done enough.

Zhang Lin merely glanced at Wu Ya and said immediately, "Did Wang Canghai receive some news from Leng Feng again?"

As he spoke, Zhang Lin tapped his forehead lightly with his index finger. Wu Ya nodded, just about to say something.

Zhang Lin then spoke leisurely, "Let me guess: it must be that after the door closed, he saw some incredible situation on his end. Perhaps he saw another second archaeological team."

Wu Ya's eyes widened. Initially, upon hearing Wang Canghai relay this news, she had felt nothing but disdain, thinking that such clumsy words from Wang Canghai couldn't deceive anyone—it was simply too ridiculous. How could this be possible?

They had clearly seen with their own eyes that the second archaeological team was currently inside the tomb, and through the live stream, although the situation the team was facing was very inexplicable, every one of them was safe; it was impossible for any accidents to occur.

There was absolutely no point in Wang Canghai relaying this news. Even if he were bluffing, there were plenty of better ways to do it; why go to the trouble of using such a method?

However, after hearing Zhang Lin say this, Wu Ya changed her mind. She subconsciously swallowed her saliva and asked, "Mr. Zhang, how did you guess what he would say to you? Could it be that you heard it just now?"

Wu Ya had no other thoughts now; she only assumed that Zhang Lin's hearing was excellent, allowing him to hear what Wang Canghai said through the receiver.

As it turned out, Zhang Lin shook his head, smiled slightly, and said, "My hearing isn't that good. The reason I could guess is actually very simple: Wang Canghai himself cannot see anything."

"His understanding of this tomb is limited, but never underestimate Wang Canghai as a person. At the very least, even now, I have not particularly underestimated him."

"It is just that in terms of certain strategies, Wang Canghai still uses those old tricks from hundreds of years ago, so he is bound to suffer for it. But when it comes to tomb-raiding scholarship, Wang Canghai is indeed a master."

"With this as a premise, there are many things he is capable of seeing."

Hearing these words, Wu Ya felt lost in the clouds. She did not understand what message Zhang Lin was trying to convey at this moment, or whether there were some hidden secrets based on this news.

However, Wu Ya had already learned to be very obedient. Since Zhang Lin had said this much, if he did not want to continue, Wu Ya would not ask.

Wu Ya herself was also thinking about this matter. Inside the tomb, behind the main gate, the already-dead En Kuan and Zha Long had appeared, while outside, another second archaeological team had appeared. She could not help but think of the changes that had occurred to the second archaeological team in the Ancient City of Jingjue previously.

But soon, she refuted this definition herself, because previously in the Ancient City of Jingjue, whether it was seeing the fake Yang Lusi or Hu Bayi and so on, all of it had been an illusion depicted by the Corpse-Fragrant Konjac.

Those people were clearly different from normal people.

Thinking about those past events now, one could react immediately, but in the Tomb of King Xian, looking at these people, they were in a completely living state, with absolutely no abnormalities.

Based on this, Wu Ya naturally could not think in that wrong direction anymore. Immediately, Wu Ya took a deep breath. She understood that she, like the other book readers, would have to wait until tomorrow when Zhang Lin stepped onto the stage at the Crescent Hotel, where he would be able to help everyone solve this problem.

Even the external situations—whether Zhang Lin would speak about them—remained a mystery for now.

At the very least, Zhang Lin would not let the world know of Wang Canghai's existence right now, because regarding the matter of immortality, Zhang Lin himself had no intention of revealing it.

But as for how to answer the situation the second archaeological team was facing, Wu Ya thought of countless possibilities.

Yet, she could not form a perfect logical loop, because Zhang Lin had already discarded the best reason himself.

That was, it came from an illusion.

None of this was an illusion; it was real!
