Chapter 3072: Whatever He Says! Execute Without Question!

~7 min read 1,276 words

This kind of forgery being so brand-new shows that before they arrived there was likely some unknown entity that altered the entire mural, which is why the paint is still fresh — but who could that person be?

Wu Ya was stunned for quite a while, and by the time she came back to her senses, Zhang Lin had already hung up the phone. At that moment she was pondering, and Zhang Lin was also considering — seeing through the surface of this matter was easy enough, but the hard part was seeing the essence beneath the phenomenon.

Zhang Lin had to admit that this time even he was stumped. Part of the mural itself being concealed — that Zhang Lin could understand, and the other party's purpose was no secret to him either. The key lay in the fact that their method was simply too foolish.

Someone capable of painting such an exquisite mural shouldn't be a fool, so there was only one possibility — perhaps that person wasn't even human in the first place, and this was the focus of Zhang Lin's thinking at the moment.

But the moment he thought that far, it was like walking into a dead end. Zhang Lin sighed helplessly, and simply didn't close the livestream, quietly watching how things would unfold next.

Since this order had been issued, Archaeology Team One would soon act according to it — Zhang Lin didn't doubt this in the slightest. In fact, Zhang Lin himself was now curious about what exactly was hidden beneath the mural, but the hot spring water was the key point, even though he hadn't specifically emphasized that to the other party.

But he believed that with Wu Ya's intelligence she should be able to grasp the key point; otherwise Zhang Lin would never have specifically stressed using the hot spring water — the answer to both was unified from the start.

After confirming this point, Zhang Lin slowly nodded. Now it was time to wait for that answer — to see what exactly lay beneath the paint.

In fact, Wang Wang Canghai had been watching the livestream on this side ever since hanging up the phone earlier. He was watching even more carefully than anyone else, and was also curious what kind of instructions Wu Ya would receive from Zhang Lin at this point — he was very much looking forward to it.

If Zhang Lin were to handle this matter as something trivial, the way he himself imagined, then Wang Wang Canghai would absolutely be overjoyed.

But even with such thoughts, Wang Wang Canghai quickly shook his head to himself. After all, this time the one he was facing was Zhang Lin — completely different from his previous opponents — and it also wasn't three hundred years ago; he had the Ten Thousand Slave King as his backing.

Now everything had changed. He had to rely on his own strength to play a round against Zhang Lin, which meant Wang Wang Canghai had to be on full alert, absolutely unable to harbor any such lucky thoughts.

So how could Zhang Lin possibly overlook these things? He would certainly be more serious than anyone, and might even see the most realistic essence within this matter through it.

Based on this point, Wang Wang Canghai couldn't help but sigh. And now the other party had already hung up the phone. Wang Wang Canghai raised an eyebrow, watching the livestream screen intently, hoping Wu Ya would quickly say what kind of arrangement Zhang Lin had.

That Zhang Lin would give instructions didn't surprise Wang Wang Canghai at all — if Zhang Lin had remained silent, that would have been what Wang Wang Canghai found truly hard to accept.

Now it wasn't just Wang Wang Canghai — Wu Ya was the focus of everyone's attention. Everyone knew the instructions had come from Zhang Lin's side, and her making that call could only have been for this one purpose, nothing else. So now Wu Ya was even more nervous than before.

But soon this nervous feeling dissipated, and with a troubled look in her eyes — Wu Tianzhen's eyes went wide. He knew that once Wu Ya reacted this way, it meant that what this matter involved was truly shocking.

Based on this, even Wu Tianzhen himself took a deep breath, then said: "Wu Ya, just say it. No matter what arrangements Mr. Zhang has, we will follow his orders one hundred percent."

Wu Tianzhen spoke these words without the slightest hesitation, his eyes carrying that resolute emotion, not allowing anyone to question it. In his view, this matter was a settled fact — absolutely no surprises would occur.

Wu Ya also slowly nodded. She knew that what Wu Tianzhen had just said was by no means empty platitudes — right now they needed to stabilize morale first.

But at the same time Wu Ya was also considering other situations. She was afraid that if she said this matter directly in front of everyone, it might travel through the livestream into Wang Wang Canghai's ears.

And cause them trouble when the time came.

But soon Wu Ya realized she was overthinking it. Because this matter was something Mr. Zhang had told her, and Mr. Zhang had taken the initiative to hang up without any other reminders — this showed that everything in that previous sentence had already conveyed all the key points.

Which meant this matter didn't need to be hidden from Wang Wang Canghai who was watching the livestream. At the same time, it was possible that what Wang Wang Canghai was truly focused on right now was the livestream of Archaeology Team Two, and he didn't care at all about Archaeology Team One's situation.

After figuring this out, Wu Ya secretly breathed a sigh of relief, then said: "Mr. Zhang said the key point is the hot spring water. Now draw out the hot spring water and pour it directly onto the mural. Once we wash away that fresh paint, we'll be able to see the corresponding answer."

Everyone who heard this was so startled they nearly fell to the ground — this was an answer none of them could ever have imagined, and the mural itself carried history.

Regardless of whether the mural had been affected by water vapor making the paint look so fresh, at the very least they probably shouldn't be so rash as to decide to destroy the mural itself right now.

If this matter hadn't been raised by Zhang Lin, then everyone would probably have slammed the table and immediately voiced their opposition, convinced that such a thing was completely illogical — and they would have condemned and even cursed the person who made the suggestion as well.

But Zhang Lin was the authority right now. Everything he said had a basis; no one could raise any objection — they just had to obediently follow his orders.

Based on this, amid the surprise, Fatty was the first to speak up. He grinned and said: "Looks like this spring water can not only cure my poison, but also reveal the secret hidden beneath the mural."

Wu Ya hadn't mentioned any so-called hidden secret earlier — that came from Fatty's own subjective judgment. Of course, Fatty was just speaking off the cuff based on his own instinct, which was why he said those words, but he happened to say exactly what Wu Ya hadn't gotten around to saying.

And even brought up another key point at once.

The next moment, Wu Ya also nodded, then said: "That's right, Mr. Zhang said exactly the same thing!"
