Zhou Lin was stumped. What did this question mean? What should he do?
"Jingxia is dead, this is hard to say now."
Huo Qi looked at Jingxia's final fate underground and felt no pity, only annoyance.
"Did you pull the trigger?"
Zhou Lin retorted.
"No."
"Did you kill Jingxia?"
"No?"
"Did Daxia pull the trigger?"
"No?"
"Did you eat the soul?"
"No."
"Then what does it have to do with you?"
"Nothing."
Huo Qi was led astray by Zhou Lin's words, and felt like it was indeed so.
Why did they feel it was troublesome?
Troublesome as hell, what did this have to do with Daxia?
The metaphysics professor thought Zhou Lin had planned this all along, and indeed, it made sense, this way Daxia would have no involvement.
"Professor Zhou Lin is truly amazing, to have calculated even this?"
Captain Zhao whispered to the mercenaries beside him.
The mercenaries were shocked and surprised by what they saw.
Zuo Lin looked at Zhou Lin and took out a poison pill from his bag.
"Professor Zhou Lin, I am very grateful that you saved us. I apologize for what Professor Jingxia said, but Jingxia also threatened me to give you the medicine, please forgive me."
Zuo Lin looked at Zhou Lin beside him, feeling guilty and apologetic.
Zhou Lin heard him and looked at the poison pill in Zuo Lin's hand, then examined it carefully, looking at the black substance on it.
"This is from the Anbei family. It's said to be made with Pipa paste as the skin and poisonous snake venom as the filling, but the Abe family added some witchcraft to it, which can quickly erode human internal organs."
"Your professor is truly venomous. If I entrust this matter to you and I die, will you run?"
Zhou Lin looked at Zuo Lin, a smile on his lips, but it was a smile devoid of warmth, and it didn't reach his eyes.
Zuo Lin's heart suddenly had a thought. He was a scapegoat. He had only been angry at the time and had forgotten Jingxia's intentions.
This was intended to kill him.
Thinking of this, Zuo Lin decided to hide nothing.
"Professor Zhou Lin, I won't hide it from you anymore. Anbei is jealous of you and deliberately cast a spell on you. This thing is also Jingxia's idea. Even if the people of Sakura Country accuse you, I will testify for you."
"This matter has nothing to do with you, don't worry. As for the other students and mercenaries, they won't say a word."
Zuo Lin had pushed all the blame onto Jingxia.
The students and mercenaries behind him nodded firmly, as if to say, "You can trust us."
Zhou Lin smiled indifferently.
"You think this thing can harm me? How ridiculous."
Zhou Lin sneered and ate the thing in front of everyone.
"Zhou Lin."
"Professor..."
"Damn it, you actually ate it."
The people from Daxia watched Zhou Lin eat the thing, and called out nervously one by one.
In the live broadcast room.
"Holy crap, is the big shot serious? What kind of poison is this? No matter how powerful a cultivator is, they shouldn't play like this!"
"No, big shot, you scared me to death. Suicide isn't done here either."
"Oh my god, this thing sounds terrifying, can anyone be okay after eating it?"
"What should we do? Will something happen?"
...
In the dean's conference room.
"Holy crap, what is Zhou Lin doing? Why did he eat it?"
Professor Hu exclaimed, slapping the table in shock after seeing the scene before him.
Professor Wen and the dean were equally shocked. Why did he eat it?
"This is unacceptable! Should we call a doctor?"
"A doctor would be useless. By the time they get here, they'll be dead. Go collect the bodies."
"Go, don't talk nonsense. Nothing will happen. Zhou Lin isn't the type to take his own life lightly."
"Let's wait and see, nothing will happen. Who would do something like this normally?"
The dean listened to the discussions of these professors and experts and spoke first.
Everyone in the conference room suddenly felt it made sense.
Inside the tomb.
A few minutes later, Zhou Lin was fine.
Twenty minutes later, Zhou Lin was still fine.
Huo Qi and the metaphysics professor went from initial worry to shock. He was fine?
That was poison.
"You see, your things are ineffective against me. However, Professor Zuo Lin, fortunately, you didn't agree, otherwise..."
"You would be the next to die. Follow me quietly, and I will guarantee that you can break the curse and leave here. How about it?"
Zhou Lin didn't mince words and stated his intentions.
Zuo Lin's heart tightened, and he secretly rejoiced that he hadn't agreed, otherwise Zhou Lin could have killed him without anyone knowing.
Captain Song Lin's heart also tightened when he saw Zhou Lin's words.
"We won't do that, don't worry."
Zuo Lin's face was covered in cold sweat, and he could only agree to Zhou Lin.
Seeing that his goal was achieved, Zhou Lin said no more and led the people from Daxia inside.
The road ahead was even more difficult, just like the curse these people were facing. It shouldn't have happened, but because of Jingxia's ignorance, it turned out this way.
He didn't care how the people of Sakura Country died, but the people of Daxia were different.
He absolutely would not allow anything to happen to Daxia again.
Seeing that Daxia had gone far, the people of Sakura Country followed closely behind. Now they had only one thought: to survive and leave.
Money and historical culture were no longer important. Now they just wanted to go back.
Zhou Lin walked ahead and looked at the surrounding Guli flowers. Huo Qi and the metaphysics professor were still fearful.
"Are these flowers okay? Will they not appear again?"
"Why are there still these things inside?"
Huo Qi looked nervous.
"They are all smart children, they won't appear easily to their deaths. Did you see what happened just now? Don't come out if there's nothing important. It's not good for anyone."
After Zhou Lin finished speaking, he looked meaningfully at Guli beside him.
Huo Qi felt that Zhou Lin's words seemed harmless but sounded problematic.
The group walked fearfully to the innermost part, where they found a door covered in runes, all of which were scarlet.
But they were not carved, but written.
"This is..."
Huo Qi looked at the stone door, especially at the things on it, and felt confused.
"What kind of runes are these? Why am I getting dizzy looking at them?"
The metaphysics professor beside him also found it strange.
He also felt a sense of unclear consciousness, what was going on?
The other mercenaries and students also felt dizzy when they saw it.
"What's wrong? Why am I so sleepy?"
"Me too, so sleepy? I just want to lie down and sleep now..."
