Chapter 2464

It was an indirect way of agreeing with Wang Kaixuan's remarks—he wasn't wrong; everything that had happened was their own choice and had nothing to do with anyone else.

By contrast, the later additions to the archaeological team, including Chu Yi and A Ke, were feeling very different emotions at this moment.

However, in the short time that followed, they too were infected by the atmosphere the archaeological team had toward this matter.

There was also Su Nan—she felt for the first time such a longing for a team like this, which also had something to do with having grown up in the Wang family.

If this matter had taken place under the Wang family's circumstances, then the Wang family people would not have maintained such a united state and continued forward.

They would only have kept killing each other along the way, even believing that in the end certainly not everyone could break the curse, so the fewer people alive, the more it would help them break the curse.

By contrast, the second archaeological team seemed to have every person hoping that the person beside them would break the curse rather than themselves; they hoped their will would be carried on by someone else—that was what mattered most—and this also reflected from the side this team's cohesion and the precious quality of every member.

If it had been the old Su Nan, even if she had seen or heard of these things, she would absolutely not have believed them.

She was convinced that some things only existed in fantasy, or that all of this was deliberately feigned by the archaeological team.

Reality simply wasn't like this.

But once she placed herself within it, the concept became entirely different.

Su Nan let out a long sigh, thinking to herself that if only it weren't because of Wang Cen, perhaps she would have exhausted every effort of hers trying to get Yang Lu Si to accept her, and then join this team, just like Shen Qiong had.

But now she was very clear that this was completely impossible; even accepting the previous cooperation, in Su Nan's view, it would already be extraordinary grace if Yang Lu Si could spare Wang Cen in the end.

And in the future they also could not come into contact with this line of work again, but would choose a place to conceal their identities and live on, which for Su Nan would already be very good.

But Su Nan also understood that people like them needed a very long cycle to integrate into normal life, because they had already grown accustomed to fighting and killing.

Accustomed to all kinds of inexplicable dangers in tombs—perhaps this was just like soldiers coming down from the battlefield, who would have a long period of war fatigue, carrying that tension every moment.

This state posed no problem at all in tombs, but returning to reality would produce a great deviation, and might even affect the normal people around them.

Perhaps after psychological intervention, three to five years would be enough to recover, but some people could not recover even in ten, eight years, or even a lifetime.

They could never integrate into normal life, which was no different from a kind of sorrow.

For a moment Su Nan had already resigned herself to fate, but just when she was convinced that all this tragedy was bound to happen, hope arrived once again.

For example, Zhang Lin showing extraordinary grace this time and letting them go—little did she know that all of this was merely an illusion.

It was a hope that Wang Cen had wagered everything of his own to obtain; for Su Nan this hope was real, but for Wang Cen all of this was nothing but a bubble of illusion.

In the end he had to stake his own life to complete all of this, only then could he exchange it for Su Nan's safety, but Wang Cen had already accepted all of this with remarkable peace.
