I Randomly Have a New Career Every Week

This possibility was also something Lin Yi had been considering.

But the current situation made him feel that there might be a problem.

However, if he were asked to explain what the problem was, he couldn't quite put his finger on it.

Lin Yi thought for a moment and said, "Contact Yu Luo and ask her how the interrogation of Michael and Vikons is going. They are definitely the most familiar with this place. If, after the interrogation, they still maintain their original statements, then the things discovered here might really have nothing to do with the natives."

"Okay."

Ning Che took out his phone, called Qiu Yu Luo, and arranged for this matter to be taken care of.

Sitting in place, Lin Yi looked at the stars in the sky, remaining silent the entire time.

Ning Che lit a cigarette and handed it to Lin Yi.

"Relax. Don't forget that we came here to avenge Zhang Mingyi. Now that we've avenged him, we've achieved our goal. Everything we're doing now is just icing on the cake. It's great if we succeed, but even if we don't, we won't lose anything."

"I know. I'm thinking, what if we tried a different approach? Would we find anything?"

"What approach?" Ning Che asked seriously.

"Suppose the ruins we went to earlier were related to the natives, but there were no traces left behind. Why is that?"

Ning Che thought for a moment, recalling past experiences, and said,

"Perhaps everyone living here was a slave captured by the natives. That's a possibility."

"Besides that?"

"I can't think of anything else. Anyway, it shouldn't be a place where natives live. There's not a single trace here."

"If this assumption is correct, then there must be natives nearby. Otherwise, the slaves would be useless to them."

Hearing Lin Yi's analysis, Ning Che seemed to realize something.

"Are you suggesting that there might still be a native stronghold nearby?"

"That's possible," Lin Yi said.

"Humans are social animals. If only ordinary people lived here, it wouldn't make sense. Also, there isn't a strong sense of life here. It all seems abnormal."

"Let Lao Cai and Wen Jing watch Selt here. Let's go look around other places."

"No rush. Let's rest for the night first. After all, we're on a mountain. It's not safe to go out at this time."

"Okay."

After discussing the follow-up matters, the two rested.

The next morning, when it was barely light, Lin Yi and Ning Che left.

As the second highest mountain in Sanna State, Mount Zork covers a large area, and the road conditions are more difficult than imagined.

Fortunately, there are no ferocious beasts here, only some ordinary snakes, insects, rats, and ants, which don't cause much trouble for the two.

"This isn't going to work. Let's use some old tricks from the past and see if we can find anything useful."

Ning Che looked at Lin Yi, knowing that he had a new idea again.

"What's the idea?"

"Collect news related to this place and see if we can find any bizarre incidents. If such things have happened, we'll have new clues to continue investigating. If not, it will prove that our previous guesses were wrong, and we don't need to waste time here."

"That's a good idea too. At least we won't be searching aimlessly like headless flies."

"That's what I think too."

Afterward, the two went back to meet Lao Cai and the others and told them their thoughts. They also thought the idea was feasible.

Selt was let go by them, and Lin Yi wasn't worried that he would betray them.

He had his family's information in his hands. If he dared to do anything out of line, his family would suffer, and he wouldn't have a good end either.

The four of them went down the mountain and found the nearest hotel to stay in.

Lao Cai and Sheng Wenjing were both sent out. They were both members of Group Two, all of whom were good at collecting intelligence. It was appropriate to let them do this.

In addition, Qiu Yu Luo was also collecting information in China. As for when it could be sorted out, or whether useful information could be found, it would depend on their luck.

After about a day, Ballmer sorted out the information in his hand and sent it to Lin Yi.

He and Ning Che also got busy, analyzing and sorting out the information in their hands.

"Look at these stone tools. They're not for eating, are they?"

In the photos sent, there were many stone tools that looked like stone troughs, as well as many relatively regularly shaped stones. It was difficult to tell what they were used for.

"They do look a bit like they're for eating," Lin Yi said, looking at the photos.

"This also reflects our previous guess from the side. This is very likely where the slaves lived."

"How can you tell?"

"Look at these things in the picture. Besides these stone troughs, there's nothing else. If they were normal people, they wouldn't eat in this way."

Lin Yi rubbed his temples and also lit a cigarette.

"Do you remember the stone ball we found?"

"Yes, so what?"

"That stone ball was polished very well, which means they had a certain level of craftsmanship. But look at the situation in the cave, especially the steps we went down. It can be said that it was indescribable. If it was a normal living state, it shouldn't have been like that."

"So you now believe that they put all the slaves they captured there and then took them out to work when necessary."

Lin Yi nodded. "That's about it."

"But there's another problem you shouldn't ignore," Ning Che organized his words and said,

"If they were doing experiments here, there must be strange ores and metal mines to support them. If these two things exist, then there must be strange things happening on this mountain. But we stayed on the mountain for so long, but we didn't see anything strange, which is also illogical."

"Perhaps this is just an ordinary gathering place, like the places we went to before. Didn't we not encounter anything strange there either?"

"If that's the case, the research value here isn't as great as imagined."

"Whether there is or not, we have to try our best to find it. And for us, whether it's ore or metal, neither is as important as directional information. If we can find some information in this regard, the exploration of the island can be further advanced."
