"Um."
Faced with Chen Ziyan's doubts, Shirley Yang nodded lightly.
After a slight hesitation, she asked in a tentative tone: "I don't know, do you believe in the existence of curses?"
curse?
Shirley Yang's irrelevant question made Hu Bayi and others slightly stunned, and they didn't understand why she asked such a question.
Only Chen Ziyan understood and straightened his body calmly.
If others don't know what the curse is, how can he not know it?
But what Chen Ziyan didn't expect was that Shirley Yang would now know about other people being infected with the curse.
According to the original plot development, she should have learned about this through Professor Chen after she returned home!
wrong!
Thinking of this, Chen Ziyan suddenly realized one thing, that is, the original plot in his subconscious seemed to have been messed up by himself in the desert.
Professor Chen did not go near the ghost cave at all, and the student was brought back safe and sound. Naturally, there was no need to go abroad for recuperation in the future.
If you put it this way, it would be impossible for Shirley Yang to know about everyone being infected with the curse through him.
In short, the breeze stirred up by Chen Ziyan's butterfly has turned into an unknown hurricane, quietly rewriting everyone's original life course.
But...where did this woman know about the curse?
Chen Ziyan subconsciously glanced at everyone present, filled with doubts in his heart.
There are only so many people who have entered the desert, and even fewer people have entered the space where the ghost cave is. Excluding Sa Di Peng who has stayed there forever, and Professor Chen and Hao Aiguo who have not entered at all, the remaining goals are It's very clear.
Hei Jingyan and Chu Jian disappeared after arriving in the capital. It seems that Shirley Yang had no contact with them, so Chen Ziyan was very sure that the cause of the matter must be caused by one of the people here. above.
In his opinion, the most suspicious person is naturally Ding Sitian, who is also a woman.
Seeing Chen Ziyan's scrutinizing eyes on her, Ding Sitian frowned slightly and asked in confusion: "Do you suspect that the curse Shirley mentioned is related to me?"
Chen Ziyan didn't answer him. He looked at the two women and asked, "Were you two together last night?"
He remembered clearly that the eye-shaped red spots that represented the curse should be located on his shoulders.
As for how Chen Ziyan knew this, on the one hand, it was the memory of his previous life, and on the other hand, he was also thinking about it, so he took advantage of the sauna last night to quietly observe Hu Bayi and Wang Kaixuan.
It is precisely because of his own verification method that Chen Ziyan still asks such a question.
Otherwise, he really can't think of where Shirley Yang verified it. It couldn't be on a few grown men, right?
When Ding Sitian heard this, she glanced at Shirley Yang subconsciously. Seeing Shirley Yang's face stagnant, she already knew something in her mind and nodded towards Chen Ziyan: "That's right. Is there any problem?"
Chen Ziyan, who wanted to answer, raised his hand and picked up the tea cup in front of him. While gently rubbing the cup with his fingertips, he looked at Shirley Yang with burning eyes and asked softly: "Miss Yang, it seems you already know Already?"
Chen Ziyan didn't make any pretense and told the matter straight to the point.
He believed that Shirley Yang could understand what he was saying.
This was indeed the case. After hearing these words, Shirley Yang's expression changed instantly, and she looked at Chen Ziyan in disbelief.
She also went back and checked a lot of information before she found out about this. How did Chen Ziyan know?
Wang Kaixuan, whose head was filled with confusion after hearing this, couldn't help but ask: "Mr. Chen, what kind of riddle are you playing? What kind of curse are you talking about?"
Although his tone is still so toneless, if you look carefully, you can see the seriousness deep in this guy's eyes.
Obviously, although the smart Wang Kaixuan didn't understand it very clearly, he could still tell from the tone of the conversation that this matter was probably related to them, and it was not a good thing.
Otherwise, there is no need for this woman Shirley Yang to be so secretive.
Chen Ziyan took a sip of tea, put the teacup back on the table, looked at Wang Kaixuan who was full of curiosity, and said softly: "The meaning is very simple, you are all under an ancient curse."
"What the hell? Curse?" Wang Kaixuan's voice suddenly rose several times and he looked at Chen Ziyan in disbelief.
Although he had some guesses, he really didn't expect it to be so outrageous!
Hu Bayi was also shaken by these words, but he was someone who had been on the battlefield after all, so he could still maintain his basic composure. After suppressing his agitated emotions, he stretched out his hand to hold down the furious Wang Kaixuan: " Fatty, don’t be impatient and listen to what Mr. Chen says.”
After finishing speaking, he looked at Chen Ziyan and asked for confirmation: "Mr. Chen, what's going on with this curse?"
Chen Ziyan glanced at Shirley Yang and saw that the girl had no intention of speaking, so he gave his own explanation: "If this matter can be traced back to the Zagrama clan thousands of years ago, maybe you are not familiar with this race. , but when it comes to the title Taoist Banshan, I think everyone is familiar with it."
"Taoist Banshan?" Hu Bayi said in surprise and confirmed: "Mr. Chen, the Banshan lineage you mentioned is rumored to be pursuing the immortal elixir?"
"That's right." Chen Ziyan nodded lightly and said: "After the Zagrama clan was subjected to a blood curse passed down from generation to generation because they spied on the ghost cave, the clan members were far away from their homeland and frequently went in and out in order to find a way to break the curse. There are ancient tombs everywhere, this is the origin of the rumor that people moved mountains just to get the elixir of immortality."
"What does that have to do with the curse among us?" Wang Kaixuan asked in confusion before he could react.
"Do you still remember the name of the Cishan outside Jingjue Ancient City?" Chen Ziyan asked in return.
"Zagrama..." Wang Kaixuan wanted to answer the question reflexively, but he stopped abruptly mid-sentence and looked at Chen Ziyan in shock: "So...we are also suffering from some kind of blood curse?"
At this time, he successfully understood Chen Ziyan's foreshadowing and finally understood what he wanted to say.
"Congratulations, you got the answer right." Chen Ziyan gave him an appreciative look, and then said: "You, Lao Hu, Ding Sitian, Black Glasses and Chu Jian should all have been tricked."
"This..." Wang Kaixuan's face suddenly fell. This was a disaster for him.
I was planning to happily share the money, but suddenly I was burdened with a curse, which sounded very powerful, and my mood turned from sunny to rainy in an instant.
But at this time, Hu Bayi next to him discovered something was wrong and asked: "No, Mr. Chen, you said the number of people is wrong, why are there three missing?"
He didn't hear it at first, but after thinking about Chen Ziyan's words several times, he discovered the flaw.
Several people had gone into that place at that time, and he naturally remembered it clearly. At this time, he found that three people were missing.
