"I will make a vow here and now, one day, I will surely avenge this. The hatred between my husband and I must be repaid by you."
After speaking, the woman drew her sword and ended her life, her eyes not closing in death.
Instead, they were filled with resentment as she gazed at the dark silhouette.
A red aura was still surging upwards from her body, a testament to her overwhelming resentment.
Zhou Lin watched this scene and realized something. This woman had been deliberately placed here.
No wonder she had looked disdainful when the topic of other women came up. It wasn't that those women brought her bad luck, but rather this man...
As the golden light vanished, the surroundings returned to their previous state, the tomb chamber just as narrow.
Everyone exchanged bewildered glances, looking at each other in confusion.
Captain Bai also slowly regained consciousness, with no memory of what had just happened.
It felt like something had occurred, but he had no recollection.
"Captain, you're finally awake."
Imam looked at Captain Bai, his voice filled with excitement.
However, the Professor of Metaphysics and Guo Liang felt a sense of suspicion upon seeing this.
"Did I just see wrong? Was that dark silhouette...?"
The Professor of Metaphysics looked at him in shock.
"You didn't see wrong. That dark silhouette was Wang Canghai. He ruined a beautiful destiny, no wonder this woman harbored such deep obsession."
Zhou Lin stated with certainty.
"What we saw was just the tip of the iceberg. For ancient women, if their husbands met with misfortune right after marriage, it was devastating. They would also face scorn from their in-laws."
Guo Liang could imagine how difficult the woman's life must have been after her husband was taken away.
"So, it's understandable that this woman's obsession is so deep, but..."
The Professor of Metaphysics looked at Zhou Lin, his curiosity piqued by the porcelain bottle in his hand.
"What is that? Why did the obsession's speed slow down, and why can't it hide in others anymore?"
"This is Xiangling Liquid, specifically designed to counter obsession. My master researched it based on ancient texts, and thankfully, he achieved some success."
Zhou Lin took out the porcelain bottle. There was still half a bottle of Xiangling Liquid inside.
The Professor of Metaphysics and Guo Liang began to examine it. As they inhaled the fragrance, they couldn't help but feel a sense of emotion.
What kind of material was this? It made their hearts tingle, making them want to take a sip.
"There's some perfume powder mixed in. You shouldn't inhale it; it's not very beneficial for you."
Zhou Lin took the bottle back and capped it.
The Professor of Metaphysics and Guo Liang then regained their senses. They couldn't help but feel that this thing was truly terrifying, capable of controlling one's mind.
Meanwhile, in the live stream.
"Holy cow, this woman's transformation into an obsession has a reason, but it's a shame she ran into a big shot."
"But it's understandable that the woman became like this. She must have suffered a lot. If it were me, I wouldn't accept it either. They were about to perform the wedding ceremony, and she became a widow just like that. Who could bear that?"
"Oh, stop talking. No matter how pitiable, harming others is wrong. She should have killed her enemy, not targeted our mercenaries and the archaeological team."
"That's true. Fortunately, our big shot intervened. That whip just now was amazing. It's much better than the one that broke last time. Even obsessions fear this whip."
"If that's the case, has the big shot upgraded his whip?"
"Haha, I still think the big shot's items are the most awesome. I'll never catch up in this lifetime."
In the dean's conference room.
"Ah, Zhou Lin is truly amazing. He can even resolve obsessions. When he returns, we must thoroughly research this Xiangling Liquid. It's truly miraculous."
Professor Hu couldn't stop smiling after seeing this.
"You should worry more about whether you have enough money. Zhou Lin has made quite a fortune now. He won't easily let go of any opportunity to make money when he sees it."
Professor Wen interrupted him unceremoniously, pulling him back to reality.
"This obsession is truly pitiful. So young..."
A professor nearby, fearing they would start arguing again, quickly interjected.
"Indeed, she's very pitiful. But if Captain Bai and the others had met with misfortune, wouldn't that have been equally dangerous? Fortunately, Zhou Lin intervened, otherwise, they would all have perished here."
"But Zhou Lin is also very clever. Otherwise, wouldn't Captain Bai have died here?"
The professors and experts were discussing the matter.
On the internet.
Huhu Shengwei App: Shocking!! The novelist's thinking is flawless, actually finding the obsession's true form with ease??
Xiao Ming Has Something to Say: The novelist showcases his incredible skills, stunning everyone!!!
Han Dou Video: The obsession's original form is so pitiful. What is the meaning behind the tomb owner's actions??
Bai Ke Bai Jia: The novelist unveils a new weapon. Why can obsessions be harmed by it? What unknown ingredients are being revealed to everyone??
Comments were refreshing continuously.
"Oh my god, it's still our big shot, truly amazing."
"Can I get this whip? I was eyeing a nine-section whip before, but now I realize none of them are as practical as this."
"Is there any possibility of buying it?"
"Don't dream. Not everyone can afford the big shot's items. The big shot isn't short of money now. You should buy a high-quality replica; that would be better."
"I've already bought several high-quality replicas. When I die, I'll pass them down as heirlooms, haha."
"You're quite ruthless. I'm very interested in that Xiangling Liquid. Can it be used as perfume?"
"It probably can. I'm already looking everywhere for it. If I find it, I'll let you know."
...
Overseas.
Eagle Country:
"Damn bastards, our Eagle Country people all died here. Shouldn't Great Xia give us an explanation?"
"Exactly. Is this some kind of disrespect towards our Eagle Country? Is Great Xia going to pretend this never happened?"
"They could have been rescued, but because of Great Xia's selfishness, our Eagle Country's professors and technicians were lost. It's despicable. Why didn't the people of Great Xia die?"
Sakura Country:
"I also think Great Xia did it on purpose. They were dissatisfied with our Sakura Country people before, and they caused the deaths of our students, mercenaries, and professors. It's all their fault."
"Professor Jinshita and the other mercenaries died in vain. Shouldn't Great Xia explain? Are they just going to let it go like this?"
