Chapter 539

~6 min read 1,069 words

Professor Liu's voice immediately attracted everyone's attention!

Zhang Lin stopped and looked at Professor Liu with interest.

He added: "Professor Liu, the timing is just right!"

"Our storytelling for today has just ended, and to know what happens next, we have to listen to the next installment!"

"I know you must still be wanting more, and Professor Liu came just at the right time."

"Just tell us about this Sea Curtain, and then the Crescent Hotel can close for the day!"

Hearing that today's storytelling was over, the audience below called out in disappointment.

Zhang Lin knew that the story stopped at the most critical moment, so some people must be dissatisfied.

However, he had also been thinking about the Dragon-Patterned Stone Box.

He really wanted to know what was inside the stone box.

This box was still in Yin Nanfeng's hands; he didn't know if this woman would easily hand it over to him.

There was another thing that Zhang Lin was concerned about: it seemed that not long after Ban Jie Li's story began, Yang Lusi had no news.

The live broadcast of the second archaeological team hadn't been turned on.

Yang Lusi hadn't contacted Zhang Lin either; by time, they should have already entered the Taklamakan Desert.

In the desert, the climate is changeable and dangers are everywhere.

Zhang Lin didn't know if Yang Lusi could handle it.

Most importantly, he had always felt that there were Thunder-Listeners in Yang Lusi's team.

It's just that this person was hidden very deeply; Yang Lusi herself had checked the list several times but hadn't found any abnormalities.

I'm afraid this person won't reveal their purpose until they truly discover the Ancient City of Jingjue.

The Ancient City of Jingjue is an important location for Yang Lusi to lift the curse on her body.

She naturally cannot afford any mistakes on this trip!

Since she hasn't contacted Zhang Lin, it's very likely she thinks everything is still under control.

Zhang Lin had many things on his mind, so naturally, he couldn't extend the storytelling time.

Professor Liu stood up at a good time to wrap up today's storytelling.

……

Seeing that no matter how they booed, Zhang Lin's face remained a warm but firm smile, the crowd below knew there was no chance for overtime today.

They could only shift all their attention to Professor Liu.

Ban Jie Li's story had just entered its climax; in industry jargon, it was at the core of the drama, and many bizarre things were unfolding as Ban Jie Li was swept into the mysterious place.

This Sea Curtain and Sea God Palace were naturally the parts everyone cared about most now.

Figuring out where this place was and what this group of people was doing.

Only then would the story gradually become clear.

Thinking of this, many people couldn't wait and started asking Professor Liu questions one after another.

"Professor, is this place a large underground palace, like the Qin Qin Shi Huang's Mausoleum?"

"It definitely can't be an underground palace; Mr. Zhang said it's just a highland like a scab, not very big."

"It's really hard to imagine, how can water several hundred meters deep stand upright in the air?"

"Is this some kind of divine power? Are there really gods in the world?"

"I don't think it's gods; it's more like ghosts. The people here don't see the sun; it's completely a ghost's life!"

Seeing that everyone was getting more and more outrageous, Professor Liu hurriedly raised his hand to stop them.

"Everyone, it has nothing to do with ghosts or gods, and it doesn't violate the laws of physics."

"This should be a miracle of nature, and it's also where I say it's ingenious."

"As for what many people say, is this place an underground palace similar to the Qin Qin Shi Huang's Mausoleum?"

"I can tell everyone very definitely: absolutely impossible!"

Hearing Professor Liu be so certain, everyone became even more curious.

Professor Liu definitely didn't have more information; he was listening to the story on-site with everyone else.

Logically speaking, the things Professor Liu grasped and his channels for obtaining information were no different from everyone else's.

But from such limited information, Professor Liu analyzed what kind of place this was.

Could it be that this is the difference between ordinary people and experts?

Seeing that everyone was extremely curious, Professor Liu didn't keep them in suspense but continued: "The scale of the Qin Qin Shi Huang's Mausoleum underground palace, as long as you've been there, you know it's a huge mountain!"

"But this highland clearly doesn't have such a large scale."

"If this area is purely underground, to allow the Sea Curtain to reach a height of several hundred meters, the temperature and air below would be very limited."

"A sacrificial activity involves ten thousand people; such a population scale cannot be supported by a simple underground palace."

"Therefore, combined with the way Ban Jie Li entered the mysterious place, and Chale Gai's previous warning requiring everyone to leave the highland before twelve o'clock,"

"I judge that this place is not underground; it's on the seabed!"

The seabed?!

As soon as Professor Liu's words came out, the whole place was in an uproar!

Everyone looked at him with expressions of disbelief.

Only Zhang Lin smiled, very calm.

In the mysterious room, Mr. Zhou frowned, also somewhat unable to understand this statement.

Especially since Professor Liu is the Vice Dean of the National Archaeological Institute; at certain times, what he says represents the official stance.

If what Professor Liu said couldn't be justified, it would be the official side losing face.

It would make people question the competence of official experts!

But seeing Professor Liu looking so confident, Mr. Zhou could only patiently listen further.

……

"Everyone, in fact, the so-called seabed, Mr. Zhang Lin has already popularized it before; it's not the real seabed, just a large lake!"

Hearing Professor Liu's addition, someone immediately raised an objection.

"That's not right, Professor Liu; there are no Haizi near Ghost Valley, and Chale Gai and the others didn't see any when they were exploring."

"That's right, Professor Liu; if there is no sea, where does the 'seabed' come from?"

"And the most critical question: there is no water nearby; where did the water that flooded Ban Jie Li in the tomb chamber come from?"
