Chapter 3085: Wuxin's Speculation! Fatty Earns Merit Again?!

~7 min read 1,233 words

If Mr. Zhang doesn't speak now, they'll only hear the answer when the other party chooses to reveal it—this is the ultimate principle every member of Archaeology Team One has been following.

At this moment Wu Tianzhen didn't hand the phone to Fatty either; instead he let Zhang Tianshi take a look, and Zhang Tianshi nodded as well, regardless of whether he found it surprising.

In any case he wouldn't show too much subjective emotion—this had always been Zhang Tianshi's habit—and Wu Tianzhen likewise paid no attention to Zhang Tianshi's reaction, while Fatty kept scratching his head.

Just as Fatty was about to ask a question, Wu Tianzhen realized that if he let Fatty speak at this moment he might blurt out some shocking remark, so he hurriedly held the phone up in front of Fatty's eyes.

Seeing all this, Fatty unconsciously closed his mouth; at least the question in his heart no longer needed to be asked aloud, but Fatty still had another question right now.

After thinking it over and over, Fatty couldn't help but speak up: "I don't understand—these two murals themselves aren't that different, they just have an extra huge black shadow added; what exactly is it trying to express?"

Hearing this conjecture, Wu Tianzhen was stunned, Zhang Tianshi's eyes narrowed slightly too, and only Wu Ya secretly gave a thumbs-up!

He thought to himself that Fatty normally didn't like to think, but just as Wu Tianzhen had imagined, Fatty would always, at the most unremarkable moment, utter the most crucial words.

Actually Wu Ya herself had wanted to say this too, but she felt her identity was still in that awkward state, and some things really weren't easy to say out loud.

But now that Fatty had said it for her, Wu Ya also breathed a sigh of relief, and at the same time she was convinced this was the Top Priority.

Moreover, Mr. Zhang said he could give them the answer tomorrow, but before that Mr. Zhang also said that if the people of Archaeology Team One couldn't figure it out on their own—

That "if" was Mr. Zhang saving face for Archaeology Team One; at least he hadn't transmitted this information directly through official channels, which amounted to giving Archaeology Team One a covert test.

If Zhang Lin really transmitted this kind of information through official channels, then it would mean that if Archaeology Team One couldn't figure out the situation through their own thinking, they'd lose face terribly.

Although those fans wouldn't, in their perception, criticize Archaeology Team One much—because everyone had already grown used to not using their brains to think, or simply didn't have that kind of thinking ability—Archaeology Team One themselves would feel ashamed.

They were gradually realizing that everything along the way had continued based on everything Zhang Lin said, and when things fell on their own shoulders, they simply didn't have the ability to handle everything properly.

The reason for their shame lay here, so now Archaeology Team One was absolutely determined to work out a definite answer through their own efforts.

Even if that answer wasn't a hundred percent correct, at least it would continue developing along that direction and wouldn't let them be too far off the mark.

As long as it could match three or four tenths of what Zhang Lin said, that would be enough.

And now Wu Tianzhen was also thinking hard about this answer, hoping to analyze the matter in the most standard way possible; but after pondering for a moment as Archaeology Team One's brain, Wu Tianzhen's mind was still a complete blank.

Fatty's words made Wu Tianzhen's eyes go wide, and at the same time he subconsciously looked at that huge black shadow and thought of the Wan Nu King Zhang Lin had mentioned.

Certainly this shadow itself was absolutely related to the Wan Nu King, and Zhang Lin had also mentioned the existence of the Wan Nu King at the New Moon Restaurant before.

But he was like the Juewei Queen, or like King Xian—long since sealed away in history—even though the title of Wan Nu King was passed down through generations.

But at the same time the last Wan Nu King had completely vanished three hundred years ago, during Wang Canghai's era, and Cloud Top Tiangong was the Wan Nu King's tomb—this was a fact acknowledged by everyone.

Before anyone could say anything, Fatty continued: "Do you think Mr. Zhang, through this mural, is trying to tell us that the real Focus of Attention isn't Cloud Top Tiangong itself, but rather the Wan Nu King?"

At these words everyone gasped; they instinctively felt Fatty had already touched upon that answer, and even Wang Canghai, who was watching the livestream, was astonished again and again!

He had assumed that whoever analyzed this situation could only be Wu Tianzhen or Zhang Tianshi, before Zhang Lin gave a clear answer.

The two of them might, according to their own thinking, guess at some clue within it, but he hadn't expected this person to be the Fatty right before their eyes.

But no matter who figured it out, this wasn't the result Wang Canghai wanted to see; according to Wang Canghai's thinking, he hoped these people would remain in the dark, unable to give him a very clear answer within his own perception—that was the final result he wanted to see.

He never expected that Archaeology Team One, relying solely on themselves, had actually come close to the truth; at this moment Wang Canghai found it increasingly hard to control himself.

He finally understood that he had underestimated Archaeology Team One—Zhang Lin had been right from the start: even if he gave only a few hints, or not a single hint at all, both Archaeology Team One and Archaeology Team Two could still cause trouble for Wang Canghai, and what Wang Canghai was seeing now was Archaeology Team One's performance.

So he inevitably thought of the situation with Archaeology Team Two—if Archaeology Team Two was also like Archaeology Team One, analyzing things relatively thoroughly in the face of such independent choices, then after he reached Archaeology Team Two, would it really be meaningful?

At the same time, what method would the Yanglusi Society use to target him?

Even if he initially used Wang Cen's Disguise Art to infiltrate Archaeology Team Two, the sudden appearance of such a person—even if he used threats to prevent Zhang Lin from warning Yang Lu—

Yang Lu would still, by her own intuition, keep a certain range of vigilance against him; from beginning to end he had been trying to obtain the Muchen Zhu.

If he couldn't get the Muchen Zhu, no matter how perfect his disguise was, it would be equally meaningless—Wang Canghai was absolutely clear on this point.

By analogy, he suddenly thought of Archaeology Team Two's situation; right now the people of Archaeology Team Two were all resting, but at the same time none of them had closed their eyes.

Because once the official side learned of Zhang Lin's purpose, they would always relay Archaeology Team One's movements to Archaeology Team Two; even though they were resting, there was always someone on night watch who could receive intelligence.

Besides, right now none of them had the slightest trace of sleepiness—they were all thinking about what would happen tomorrow, and when they could lift the curse.
