With the desire to try it out, there was no suitable subject here to experiment with.
When Ye Ya used the tombstone before, Wei had seen most of it; it seemed that the artifact needed to be activated first. Then by looking at the opponent and writing down their name, and if the power Wei injected could overpower the opponent's, there might be a chance to kill them.
The artifact could easily handle weaklings, but its effectiveness against formidable foes was not absolute, though it was not entirely negligible either.
Lin Shen could only attempt to activate it, but he harbored little hope for success.
If the miniature tombstone was of any use, why would Chi 118 have stored it in a warehouse instead of carrying it with him?
So it was very likely that even Chi 118 could not use it, or it had limited utility—it was unclear which was the case.
Lin Shen, holding the little tombstone, channeled his own strength into it, and to his surprise, the little tombstone actually responded.
