Chapter 2698: Shocking Explanation! The Real Reason Behind the Curse!

At this moment they couldn't help but instinctively look at Yang Lu—perhaps only Yang Lu's words could truly invalidate what Ak was saying.

But unexpectedly, Yang Lu waved her hand at this moment, her meaning very clear: she wanted to hear Ak continue. For her, what Ak said was very important, and if Ak could give a relatively standard answer, then Yang Lu would definitely choose to believe it—this was beyond doubt.

Since the team leader Yang Lu held this attitude, the others could only silently continue listening. All of them looked at Ak again, waiting for him to give a relatively reasonable explanation.

Ak looked around the circle, then slowly opened his mouth and said: "Do you know why you were cursed?"

This question left everyone baffled; Ak was clearly putting on the airs of a self-appointed teacher.

If it had been anyone else, the group simply wouldn't have paid attention, because what he said was clearly exaggerated. Besides, his attitude was as if he knew more than the members of the Second Archaeology Team who had experienced it firsthand.

In Wang Kaixuan's view, these things were complete fantasy. After all, they had personally experienced everything inside the Ancient City of Jingjue, gone through it all, and in the end been burdened with the curse.

They had also explored many secrets. Clearly, he was convinced that Ak absolutely had no right to criticize or pass judgment on the things they had done.

But things had already reached this point. No matter how much Wang Kaixuan minded it, he couldn't say much more. The others couldn't help but look at Yang Lu, hoping to get an answer from her.

Or rather, only Yang Lu could interrupt Ak's wild speculation. But what they all saw was that their Team Leader Yang seemed especially interested, wanting to hear Ak continue.

As if they themselves knew less about the curse they carried than Ak did. And Wang Kaixuan really couldn't hold back any longer.

In an instant he said sharply: "Are you a bit unable to tell who's the boss here? Before you showed up we were already bearing the curse. And why did we end up like this? Is it in your long poem too?"

Ak heard these words and nodded without hesitation.

"Of course, otherwise I wouldn't be saying all this."

Hearing this, quite a few people immediately became interested. They looked at Ak with burning eyes, hoping to quickly get an answer. Ak didn't disappoint them either.

They only heard him say without hesitation: "Actually, the logic behind bearing the curse is very simple. I think that Mr. Zhang up above the New Moon Restaurant has long been clear about it and just didn't tell you, only because it's no big deal."

After hearing this, Wang Kaixuan glanced at him again and said blandly: "Just spouting nonsense. If it's no big deal, why are you still here talking big?"

Ak smiled calmly. He didn't mind Wang Kaixuan's rudeness at this moment—or rather, as a man who had left the secular world, he had long since put such things aside. He didn't need to consider all that messy stuff; he only needed to prove that what he said was right.

At the very beginning, Ak hadn't wanted to say any of this, but he had no choice—Yang Lu had used her own methods to force him to say it. In the end, Ak could only compromise.

Since it had come to this, he would certainly hold nothing back. In an instant Ak continued: "Hear me out. Perhaps before, all of this had no connection, but afterward things naturally changed."

Ak seemed to keep beating around the bush, but this time Yang Lu was full of patience. She wasn't worried about Ak being long-winded.

There was plenty of time anyway. Including the decision she had made at the very beginning, it leaned toward Ak. To think this matter through clearly—originally Yang Lu had wanted to set out immediately, but she had no choice because Zhang Lin above the New Moon Restaurant had given her an order.

Regarding this order, Yang Lu had not ignored it. She understood that if she treated it lightly and disrespectfully, the final result would certainly be dragging the entire team down to destruction with her—and that was not the outcome Yang Lu wanted to see.

The key was that mysterious person was about to arrive. Once that mysterious person appeared, no one could say what would happen afterward. On this point, Yang Lu was clearer than anyone.

Since she was so clear on this answer, Yang Lu at this moment had to maintain that patience. If it had been any other time and Ak had been this long-winded, Yang Lu would probably have long since verbally warned him to get to the point and stop being so noisy.

But right now Yang Lu just quietly watched Ak. Wang Kaixuan, however, didn't have such a good temper. He said: "Ak, can you stop being so long-winded? If you have something to say, just say it. If you really have nothing, then forget it."

Wang Kaixuan's personality is very similar to Fatty's—both of them are straightforward. When they see something they can't stand, they speak up to stop it right away. Including Ak's current behavior, Wang Kaixuan definitely couldn't stand it either. Since that was the case, Wang Kaixuan wouldn't let the other party keep going on like this.

Seeing this, Ak slowly shook his head, pressed his palms together, and said slowly: "Actually, it still has to do with this space. The most important thing is that place is also similar to the Black Tiger Altar here. You can understand that the reason you were cursed lies in the altar itself."

And right at this moment, the barrage of comments also started clamoring, most of them accusing Ak.
