Chapter 2472: Identity Speculation! Is He Really From This Era?!

~7 min read 1,273 words

At this point Wang Cen has probably already made up his mind to betray him and won't pick up his calls at all; given that, he doesn't need to keep tabs on the situation of the First Archaeology Team.

And this map itself isn't much of a secret either; even if the First Archaeology Team can't make sense of it within the next twenty-something hours.

But once Zhang Lin arrives at the New Moon Restaurant, he'll certainly give them the corresponding answers; Wang Canghai doesn't need to specifically ask Zhang Lin, and he also believes the information revealed on this mural definitely can't be hidden from the other party.

But thinking of this, Wang Canghai couldn't help but laugh self-deprecatingly; he felt he had simply been thinking about these questions the wrong way around. The point now isn't that this mural appearing here is something both he and Zhang Lin can understand.

Of course, from Wang Canghai's own perspective, he personally can understand this mural, and also knows exactly what the situation inside Cloud Top Tiangong is like.

What this mural confirms is the changes over these years.

Although it's not everything, at least Wang Canghai isn't completely in the dark right now; he has certain clues, and through these clues he can understand how to proceed next — that is the most practical thing.

But on second thought, actually looking at the situation on Zhang Lin's side, it's not that the other party will get clues after seeing the mural.

Before this, Zhang Lin had already guessed there was a mural here, and based on his guess he already knew exactly what was painted on the mural — that is the answer.

And the more Wang Canghai thought about it, the more something felt off. If, according to this logic, the predecessor was correct, then ultimately, how exactly did Zhang Lin know about those things that had happened, and how could he be absolutely certain his guess had no problems at all — that is the top priority.

Having figured this out, Wang Canghai now wants to ask Zhang Lin about the details here, and the red mountaintop on the mural is also a top priority.

Presumably the First Archaeology Team now, relying on themselves, won't be able to get the answers from this; or they can only choose to stay put and see how things develop later.

And they can only get the corresponding answers after waiting for Zhang Lin to arrive at the New Moon Restaurant — this is their only option. Now Wang Canghai contacting Zhang Lin no longer has any hesitation; anyway, they had already completely fallen out before, and Zhang Lin is now very clear that he's going to the Second Archaeology Team.

Since that's the case, then Zhang Lin afterwards will definitely think of ways to deal with these situations, rather than repeatedly getting tangled up in the answers within — that would be meaningless.

Having clarified this point, Wang Canghai instead became unburdened; immediately afterward he directly dialed Zhang Lin's number, and because he had already rested, he picked up the phone with some impatience.

Then asked: "Wang Canghai, have you got some kind of serious illness?"

Wang Canghai chuckled; he knew that given Zhang Lin's personality, if he didn't want to answer the phone, he would just hang up directly no matter the circumstances.

Moreover, given that Zhang Lin had already been resting, the fact that he still picked up the call shows that Zhang Lin still cared about this call coming in from him.

For some unknown reason, Wang Canghai inexplicably felt a sense of accomplishment. So although at this moment he felt that having this so-called sense of accomplishment was really thick-skinned, instinct drove him to inexplicably have this feeling, and Wang Canghai himself couldn't suppress it.

The next moment, Wang Canghai couldn't help but say: "Zhang Lin, it seems you've already turned off the livestream, but I suggest you hurry up and guide the First Archaeology Team — they've already discovered the mural, and they definitely can't find the answer on their own."

Zhang Lin gave a cold laugh, then said: "Wang Canghai, you underestimate these two archaeology teams. Remember, although I'm giving instructions, I've also been cultivating their independent thinking the whole time, so in many situations even without me, they can analyze and understand the road ahead."

"I don't need to look at that mural — it's nothing but red light shining on the peak of the Three Holy Mountains, that's the key point; everything else is just some dispensable situation inside Cloud Top Tiangong. As for whether what appeared there should be guarded against, I'll naturally tell them tomorrow at the New Moon Restaurant. And as for you, you should hurry up and head to the Second Archaeology Team now. I think what I'm saying shouldn't surprise you that much, right?"

If it weren't for Zhang Lin's last sentence, Wang Canghai really wouldn't be surprised at all; others couldn't understand his behavioral logic, but Zhang Lin definitely saw it very clearly.

Based on this, Zhang Lin would naturally not hesitate to expose what he was going to do, but the supplementary sentence at the end actually left Wang Canghai somewhat at a loss.

According to Zhang Lin's usual personality, even if he saw these things and there were such suspicious points, he wouldn't necessarily bring them up right away — or even if he clearly saw through his action line, he would keep pretending not to know.

Wang Canghai had originally wanted to deliberately mock Zhang Lin a bit; after all, even if the other party guessed right, Zhang Lin still believed that his side hadn't seen through the other's thoughts — the two are reciprocal.

Contempt is naturally reciprocal too, but this time Zhang Lin went against the grain.

In other words, even in this situation, Zhang Lin still wants to hold the corresponding initiative, not leaving him the slightest chance.

Wang Canghai couldn't help but take a deep breath; having lost another exchange, he didn't want to argue over these useless things anymore.

Then he said: "I just want to know how you deduced all of this. It's only natural that I'm clear about the situation inside Cloud Top Tiangong — after all, I built it."

"And from that traitor you should also be clear that back then the Wan Nu King gave me his promise, letting me guard it for all these years, and once he came out he would naturally fulfill the corresponding promise. Of course I don't believe in such a promise, but I don't know exactly when this hot spring was created, so Zhang Lin — does your identity really exist in this era?"

Zhang Lin understood Wang Canghai's question, along with a little surprise and a lot of contempt; Wang Canghai asking about this now has a very simple purpose.

It's to suspect that Zhang Lin might also be someone who survived from the previous era!

After all, the other party has also obtained immortality; although Zhang Lin hasn't admitted it himself, Wang Canghai has already inferred this point.

At the same time, Zhang Lin has also touched the level of becoming an immortal; it's just that on the premise that Zhang Lin has gone further than him, he knows the probability of becoming an immortal is extremely slim.

Since that's the case, then one shouldn't keep walking down this foolish path, but rather at the realistic level control this world even more.

Only under this premise can one truly control everything, which is why Wang Canghai has this suspicion.
