Chapter 1778: Ada's swift reaction! The piercing arrow resolves the predicament!

~7 min read 1,207 words

Hu Bayi hurriedly wanted to answer, even if they didn't understand what was happening, but through the reactions of the two, Hu Bayi roughly guessed it immediately.

Shen Qiong also realized something; since there was such a dangerous situation, they had to respond immediately.

But for them, it seemed that no response could solve the problem appearing before them, so everyone was currently blindly following.

They didn't even know what reaction to make at first. If they forcibly pulled Yang Lu away at this time, the result they would face would be exactly the same as Yang Lu's.

But if they destroyed this doll, they might not be able to continue on the path ahead. This was the situation both were worried about, and also the most awkward point.

However, at this time, it depended on how those without archaeological experience would provide such a subtle solution to this matter. Upon hearing the satellite communication, Shen Qiong and Hu Bayi both went to grab it.

They realized immediately that this must be Zhang Lin from the Crescent Hotel giving them a solution!

They were busy trying to answer the phone, and just at this moment, an arrow streaked past them from behind.

This arrow, neither off-center nor biased, passed right through the gap and shot directly into the face of the human-skin doll. With a bang, the doll shattered!

Immediately after, Wang Kaixuan and Yang Lu collapsed one after another, clutching their throats and gasping for air. Yang Lu looked at the shattered doll with lingering fear.

Although Shen Qiong had already answered the satellite communication and received instructions from the officials, Ada had already done this in advance!

He completed everything through his own arrow and subconscious reaction. After Yang Lu's cardiopulmonary function recovered, she stood up and looked at Ada with great gratitude.

Ada waved his hand to indicate it was nothing. This wasn't Ada being modest, but rather the most correct response he felt he could make upon seeing these crises instinctively!

The reason the others in the Second Archaeological Team didn't make such a response wasn't because they didn't see the abnormality of this doll, as Shen Qiong had thought before.

They could have taken this matter to the extreme and destroyed the doll directly, because even a fool could see that the reaction of Wang Kaixuan and Yang Lu all stemmed from this doll.

Based on this, they naturally knew what choice to make, but ultimately, they were worried that once this doll was destroyed, they wouldn't be able to continue the path ahead. But when the doll was destroyed to this state, they didn't need to struggle with anything anymore.

Yang Lu shook her head. She hadn't heard the communication from the officials. At this time, she looked at the doll with full worry and couldn't help but ask: "Is there any communication from the officials?"

During the suffocation process just now, even if the officials had sent any message, Yang Lu wouldn't have been able to hear it. At this time, Shen Qiong immediately said: "It was Mr. Zhang who told us to destroy the doll's face, but Ada had already done so before that."

Yang Lu nodded with satisfaction, because regardless of what was hidden behind this, or whether it was to save their lives, the choice Zhang Lin made immediately was absolutely correct.

Under this premise, there was no need for any other hesitation.

Looking back at Zhang Lin at the Crescent Hotel, he also nodded with satisfaction at this moment!

If his message were transmitted, and once Shen Qiong picked up the communication and made the corresponding reaction, even though it would only be a difference of a few seconds, Zhang Lin knew it could very likely result in someone losing their life.

It was because Wang Kaixuan's face had already turned purple from suffocation. Yang Lu recovered after a few seconds, but Wang Kaixuan was still sitting there.

Yang Lu hurriedly walked to Wang Kaixuan's side, checked his neck, and after seeing his current state, Yang Lu nodded.

It was just that his neck had been constricted for too long, so he needed some time to recover properly. Yang Lu pulled Wang Kaixuan to the back; now, even though the doll was destroyed, they didn't want to approach it intentionally.

Immediately after, someone at the Crescent Hotel raised their hand and asked: "Mr. Zhang, what exactly was the situation just now? Why did it become like this?"

Zhang Lin spoke slowly and explained: "Actually, if you zoom in, you can see that there are two palm prints on the necks of both Yang Lu and Wang Kaixuan; it's more obvious on Wang Kaixuan's neck. This is a miniature marionette mechanism, and the reason he used such a singular method here..."

"... is because he couldn't use this marionette method to control outsiders, but rather to control this doll. Furthermore, the doll you see isn't depicted by other things; it's a real human skin that was peeled off and then inlaid onto a pottery figurine!"

Human skin?

Everyone gasped upon hearing this!

When Zhang Lin revealed this answer and told them it was real human skin and a real human face, they seemed to have ignored the problem of the palm prints from before.

The key was that the situation from before had been resolved, and what they needed to worry about or be concerned about now was entirely the situation of this human-skin doll. Using human skin to make a real doll?

What kind of person could do such a thing? It was simply too shocking!

And they had never heard of such a thing before, even after seeing the burial objects of the twelve-handed female corpse of the First Archaeological Team, including Wang Zanghai using living people for experiments, etc. But the fact that King Xian could even think of peeling human skin showed just how cruel this person was.

Zhang Lin, through the reactions of the crowd, also understood what they were thinking at this moment. However, the next moment, Zhang Lin smiled calmly and said: "There's nothing to be surprised about in this matter. Think about it: King Xian could dig up people who had been dead for so many years, then dig out their hearts and bones, wanting to achieve his goal of becoming an immortal. What wouldn't he be able to do?"

"This is the same principle as the Sixteen Pictures of the Exiled Immortal I mentioned before."

When Zhang Lin mentioned the Sixteen Pictures of the Exiled Immortal again, Wang Zanghai thought about what he had overlooked.

Previously, he had fallen into a certain state of madness and no longer cared about these things, but now, upon hearing Zhang Lin bring up this concept again, Wang Canghai could not help but twitch his brow.

He looked at the phone again, thinking to himself whether he should be a fickle person again and tell Mr. Wang that he didn't need to do that.

After all, it also concerned the Sixteen Pictures of the Exiled Immortal and other such situations. The next moment, Wang Zanghai shook his head firmly, and the light in his eyes became exceptionally sharp!
