Chapter 3094: Stop Bringing That Up Again! That's an Order!

She knew that by now, according to Zhang Lin's habits, he should already be resting, and if they continued forward the next morning while everyone still could not see that one clear path.

It was very likely they would still carry this kind of mood, and then things would get troublesome; perhaps after Zhang Lin saw all this, he really would, just as she imagined, give up on all the progress of Archaeology Team Two.

Actually, right now Yang Lu was completely overthinking; if that were Zhang Lin's subjective mood, many things would not have continued to develop in this way—it could only prove that Yang Lu's thinking from the very beginning was wrong.

But soon this mistaken view would also be corrected; at least after that Wang Canghai arrived at Archaeology Team Two in the identity of the mysterious person, Yang Lu would have no other thoughts.

Now in her understanding, the mysterious person's arrival might not cause too much of a burden, but once this person displayed his strength, or in some way secretly threatened Zhang Lin, Yang Lu would certainly notice.

As long as she detected this point, Yang Lu would understand Zhang Lin's painstaking efforts.

And for now, although she did not understand, Yang Lu still held that kind of thought in her heart—at the very least she could not misunderstand Zhang Lin too deeply; doing so would only make the subsequent matters increasingly difficult to handle.

The next moment, Yang Lu immediately said: "Stop asking, don't ask anything—this is my order, do you all understand?"

As the crowd exchanged glances, their eyes were full of bitter emotions; although they also understood that perhaps at some later moment Zhang Lin would tell them everything.

But this kind of waiting was really too agonizing; they could hardly restrain that feeling of theirs, but since Yang Lu had already said so much, they could not very well insist on anything further.

Immediately after, Yang Lu shook her head and continued: "If you really can't sleep, then you might as well discuss the situation inside the tomb, and that mirage we saw before—perhaps we can all work out an answer for ourselves; even if that answer isn't a hundred percent correct, as long as it leans toward that angle, there's no problem!"

After saying this, Yang Lu couldn't help looking toward Ake.

Along the way, Ake had played very, very little role, but Yang Lu trusted Zhang Lin's judgment—Ake must be useful; his long poem most likely contained records about the Evil Luo Sea City.

She had already noticed this point before, but at those past time nodes, Yang Lu had been delayed in her own progress because of other matters.

So she had not asked Ake what exactly the situation was, but now things had become completely different—Yang Lu wanted to hear what Ake had to say.

If he voiced his opinion at this moment, it would also serve to divert the others' attention; right now Yang Lu not only had to restrain her own feelings, but also, through her own efforts, had to restrain that kind of thinking in the others.

This was an extremely difficult thing; after all, if she couldn't even adjust her own mindset, how could she possibly adjust the mindsets of others?

But Yang Lu had to accept this mission; if she couldn't even shoulder this one responsibility, Yang Lu felt she didn't deserve to be Zhang Lin's junior sister—the premise of seeing everything through is understanding; as long as she could understand these things, then naturally she could do what others could not.

After Ake saw that look from Yang Lu, he hurriedly lowered his head, then pressed his palms together and chanted a Buddhist invocation once more.

Wang Kaixuan, on the other hand, scratched his head; they had accepted Yang Lu's earlier explanation, but Ake was still playing mysterious now—this was something no one could understand; or rather, they hoped Ake would quickly give an answer, which would also satisfy their curiosity.

If Yang Lu had asked the others to analyze the current situation, then everyone would have decided that it simply wasn't realistic, because based on their understanding of the tomb itself.

Whether it was the Ancient Jue Kingdom City before or the Worm Valley and all those other places afterward, it had all relied on Zhang Lin; their own analysis simply couldn't arrive at a concrete answer—since that was the case, they couldn't analyze recklessly.

Instead, they had to wait for Zhang Lin above the New Moon Restaurant to give everyone a particularly concrete answer, and only then could they continue forward.

This was also the main reason for that oppressive atmosphere just now—no one wanted to keep going in this inexplicable way; they all hoped to have a very clear instruction that would let them find the answer.

After all, the curse that Archaeology Team Two now bore involved everyone's lives; if they couldn't break the curse, there was no point at all in talking about anything else.

But Zhang Lin simply had his own ideas; helplessly, most of them couldn't understand Zhang Lin's painstaking efforts—if they were told now that the mysterious person was Wang Canghai, not only would Yang Lu's mindset collapse, but the others would also continue forward carrying that kind of dejected mood.

Taking a step back, who knows, at that point they might decide that as long as Zhang Lin could personally come to Archaeology Team Two, all the trouble could be resolved; but right now Zhang Lin couldn't do that—he could only rely on his past ideas to formulate the progress of the archaeology, while doing his utmost to stop Wang Canghai.

According to Xue Long's thinking, the Wang Wang Canghai Society would use the latent threat to coerce Zhang Lin into completing certain things—Zhang Lin had certainly thought of this.

At the same time, he had already made corresponding preparations; at that moment Yang Lu would more or less be able to react—Zhang Lin was going to go with the flow.

In any case, the immortality ritual that Wang Canghai wanted to complete, the attempt to use this method to threaten him—Zhang Lin could perfectly well threaten Wang Canghai in return.

After all, what the other party was single-mindedly determined to complete was the entire process of becoming an immortal; whether it succeeded or not afterward, Wang Canghai would give up hope—and how would Wang Canghai judge whether what Zhang Lin said was true? He had no benchmark for that.

Since he was so anxious, he would always find some way; who knows, he might also produce a corresponding experimental subject right from the start, and that candidate was most likely Yang Lu.

But Zhang Lin naturally had ways to deal with it; right now he hadn't told any of this to the others—Zhang Lin just let them maintain this calm mindset and keep going forward.

And after Wang Canghai arrived, Zhang Lin would change his plan at the first moment; who knows, he might even have Archaeology Team Two accept Wang Canghai, who was posing as the mysterious person, and discuss subsequent cooperation.

At least on the surface, Xue Long felt he couldn't stand Wang Canghai, and the things he had reminded the other party about before were also a deliberate act of care.
